To Snag A Saiyan
Chapter Four: Implementing Phase Two

The next morning Pan was sitting in the kitchen drinking her daily dosage of caffeine. She looked up as her mother walked in, looking more than ready to start the day.

"Morning, dear."

"Morning." Pan grumbled.

"Long night?"

"You could say that."

"When did you get in?"

"Some time after three, I think. I'm not really sure. The meeting lasted until almost 8:00. Then there was the after party, which went on till about midnight. Neither Bulma nor Vegeta would let us leave early. Bulma insisted that Trunks had a responsibility to stay as Capsule Corp's CEO, even though all discussions of business were complete. And Vegeta..."

Pan smirked. "Well let's just say that he flat out refused to suffer any indignities alone. If he had to remain at 'the woman's party' then we were going to have to suffer as well. When we were finally able to leave, Trunks took me to this little lake up in the mountains. He said it was his favorite place to go whenever he was able to get away from work."

She paused and smiled at her mother, who was intently listening. "It was so sweet, Momma. We just sat and talked for hours. I can't remember the last time we had the chance to talk like that. And, it was so cute that he took me to his spot. I don't think he's ever taken anyone there before. It made me feel special."

"That's wonderful Pan." Videl smiled at her daughter.

Pan smiled back then took another sip of her coffee. "You know I'm beginning to think that Bra may have been right."

"About what, dear?" Videl asked leaning forward on the table.

"That for the past twenty-one years our chance at finding our special someone has been right under our noses, but we were too caught up in everything else to realize it."

"What are you and Bra scheming now?"

"We aren't scheming, Momma. We are really serious this time."

"Alright then, what are you up to?" Videl deliberately rephrased her question.

"Well, we came to the realization that we need someone who can understand and accept our Saiyan side as well as our human. Dad was lucky to find you, just like Grandpa was lucky to find Grandma, as well as Vegeta finding Bulma."

"That's true." Videl confirmed.

Pan sighed. "Since we each seem incapable of finding someone on our own, Bra and I have decided to lend each other a hand. We are going to pursue the two men that know us better than anyone else. No secrets. No special abilities to keep hidden. Trunks and Goten already know everything."

"I never thought about it that way."

"I didn't either until yesterday afternoon."

"Well, I guess this whole scheme… um… plan is worth pursuing. I'd hate for you to spend the rest of your life asking those two dreadful words."

"Huh?"

"What if?" Pan cringed. She hated those two little words. "Besides." Videl continued. "Your plan seems to be working so far. It sounds like you and Trunks had a wonderful time last night, which is a great start. Now, how are you going to get Goten and Bra together?"

"I'm already working on it up here." Pan tapped the side of her head.

Videl was starting to get really interested in what her daughter was saying, when one of two people they were about to discuss staggered half asleep into the kitchen.

Bra plopped down into one of the remaining chairs at the table. "Morning." She yawned.

Feeling more awake, thanks to her last few cups of coffee and the conversation with her mom, Pan smiled at Bra's disheveled appearance. "Morning, Sunshine."

Bra groaned. "Oh, shut-up."

Videl smiled at the two friends. "So?"

"So?" Bra asked still half asleep and very confused at Videl's question.

"Pan was about to tell her idea on how you are going to catch Goten's attention."

Bra was instantly very awake. "Do tell." She leaned forward over the table, matching Videl's stance.

Pan laughed at the two of them. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two were dying to hear what I have to say."

"Quit stalling and spit it out." Bra screeched.

"I will, but first." She looked at her mom. "Where's Papa? I do not want him knowing about this just yet."

"He left for work earlier. Now continue."

Pan smiled as she looked at the two anxious faces in front of her. "What is the most sure-fire way to attract the attention of any man in the Son family?"

Videl smirked. Of course she knew the answer to that question. "Food."

"Bingo. And, you know the old saying; the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Well, who could that saying hold more truth for other than Goten?"

"You have a point there." Bra conceded. "But, how am I going to use food to catch Goten's attention? You know my cooking skills are right up there with my mother's."

"Well, for one, you've never tried. You have always had someone else fix it for you. And two, we are going to help you."

"We?" Videl quirked up an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You, me, and Grandma."

"Oh really? How do your grandmother and I fit into this scheme of yours?"

"Ingenious plan." Pan corrected.

Videl waved her hand in a dismissive gesture. "Just start explaining."

"Well, we all know Papa and Goten's favorite meal, right?"

That was a no-brainer. "Lasagna." Videl answered.

"More specifically, Grandma's lasagna."

"But, what does that have to do with me?" Videl asked.

"Well, first off I need you to promise not to tell Papa anything yet."

"Why not? You know me and your father hardly keep anything from one another."

"I know, and you can tell him later. But, I don't want him feeling an obligation to give Goten any advanced warnings. And, I need to get a genuine reaction out of him. If he or Goten know anything ahead of time, then my plan will not work."

"Will you just spit it out already?" Bra practically screeched, her patience finally running out.

"Okay. Okay. Geez." Pan sighed. Bra ruined her dramatic build-up. Oh well. "You, my dear Bra, are going to throw my uncle for a loop, when you attack his three dominate senses simultaneously. Sight, smell, and taste."

She then turned to address her mother. "What I need you and Papa for is a brief demonstration. Papa has always been a sucker for Grandma's lasagna. And, he loves it when you wear that little purple shirt."

Speaking to both of them now, she continued. "Needless to say, the apple does not fall far from the tree when it comes to the men in this family, since Papa and Goten have similar countenances."

Wiggling her eyebrows, Videl asked. "What kind of demonstration did you have in mind?" She teased her daughter.

"Mom!" Pan screeched. "Do not even begin to go there. That is not even funny."

Videl smiled. "You set yourself up for that one, dear."

Pan grumbled something about the injustice of such comments and scorching her mind's eye to such horrific mental images. "Anyways! When Papa comes home for lunch, all I need you to do, Mom, is serve his favorite meal while wearing his favorite shirt. NO MORE. Please. All I want is for Bra to see and understand what I'm talking about. If my theory is correct, he won't be able to take his eyes off you."

Videl smirked. "I like this little plan of yours. If all goes well, he won't be able to keep his hands to himself either."

"Mom!"

Bra laughed out loud at Pan's horrified expression. Videl was having too much fun at her daughter's expense. She also really liked the plan. 'Goten, my dear, prepare for the surprise of your life.'

A few hours later Gohan walked through the front door of his house, only to be greeted by two very excited and anxious looking young women.

"Hi, Papa." Pan said giving him a hug.

"Hello, Gohan." Bra said.

"Hey, girls." Gohan smiled cheerfully, happy to see them as well. "Are you two here to have lunch as well?"

All of a sudden his daughter got a knowing smile on her face. "Yep." She answered.

Becoming suspicious, Gohan looked down at his daughter. He knew that look. She was up to something. "What are you up to, Pan?"

Smiling mischievously, she answered. "Oh, about five feet."

Gohan frowned. That was not the answer he was looking for. "Pan?" He questioned.

"Yes, Papa?" Pure innocence was radiating off that face.

Oh yeah, she was up to something. "You do realize that you're my daughter, and I know you a lot better than that." He leaned down to her height level. "I am not so easily fooled by that face." He gave her his own knowing smile.

If it were possible, Pan's smile grew bigger. "I know."

"Then…"

"Welcome home, Gohan-dear." Videl interrupted with a flirtatious smile.

Gohan looked up. His wife stood in the kitchen doorway looking beautiful. Gohan paused and stood up to his full height as he stared at Videl. He did not fail to notice that she was wearing that shirt of hers that gave him goose bumps every time she wore it. It was a dark purple sleeveless blouse that crisscrossed over her chest. The shirt was modest enough so she could wear it out, but whenever he stood in front of her and gazed down it gave him a lovely view of cleavage that he could not help admiring. He was not by any means a pervert, but when his wife wants to show off a few of her assets to him, he is, of course, all for it.

Gohan smiled back at Videl forgetting to continue his daughter's interrogation. "Hello." He managed to speak just above a whisper.

Videl sauntered up to him and put her arms around his waist. "How was you day so far?"

Pan lightly elbowed Bra and motioned for her to take a few mental notes. Bra rolled her eyes. Didn't Pan realize that she began taking notes before Gohan even noticed that Videl was standing in the kitchen doorway?

Gohan meanwhile was finding it difficult to swallow past the lump in his throat. "F . . . Fine."

"That's good." She took his hand and led him toward the kitchen. Pan and Bra followed closely behind.

Before they reached the kitchen he could smell the delicious aroma coming out of it. By now his mouth was starting to water. The smell of lunch and the sight of his beautiful wife had his mind in overdrive.

Videl sat Gohan down at his place at the table then turned to get his lunch.

He was barely even acknowledging that anyone else was in the room because he gave a started jump when Bra and Pan sat across from him. Well, it was more of a startled twitch than a jump, but for a Saiyan who was normally more alert it could be considered a jump.

Bra steadily watched Gohan's reactions to everything going on around him. She was amazed at how easily he seemed to take the bait. She shook her head. It could not possibly be this easy.

"Here you go, Gohan-dear." Videl said as she placed a plate of lasagna in front of him.

Gohan managed a faint nod of his head as his eyes watched the sway of his wife's hips as she walked away to get everyone else's lunch.

Dende, how he loved his wife, she always knew just where to get him too. He smiled at her and finally managed to swallow past the lump in his throat when she came back with three more plates and sat down right next to him.

Pan watched everything with an amused smile plastered on her face. So, her theory proved correct. She had a strong feeling that this would work. Now all she had to do was apply this same theory with a few different principles to make it work for Goten and Bra.

She elbowed Bra in the side once again.

Bra smirked at her best friend. So this was the extent of which it took to snag a Saiyan. She almost could not believe how simple the situation really was. First, you addle their senses a little bit. Then you go in for the kill, figuratively speaking of course. But, this seems to be the key to catching them off guard.

With her brother, she knew all Pan needed to do was appeal to his more primal instincts. It was a simple matter of flashing a little leg, accentuating a few curves, and showing him the good time he had been missing in his relationships with women in the past.

For Gohan and Goten their needs tended to be more basic. Food being a top priority, which should not be surprising with a father like Goku. However, those primal urges seemed to be an underlying factor for them as well.

All in all, the same basic principles could be applied to each of them, which just made her and Pan's objective that much easier to accomplish. And, this 'ingenious plan' of Pan's was nothing short of brilliant. Now Bra was more than ready to implement the next phase of their plan.

To Be Continued

It is short. I know. But, I figured the part where Bra sets her 'trap' for Goten would be better, if it went in the next chapter. The next chapter is titled "Phase Two Complete." So, the scene really will fit better under that title. At least, I think so.

I apologize for taking so long to update this story. I know it has been over a year. Well, I guess you can look at the bright side of this, which is it has only been one year since this story's last update, but it has been two years since I last updated my Gundam Wing story. Sorry, just a little bit of my own sense of humor.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this installment of "To Snag a Saiyan." I thought it would be fun to throw in a little bit of humor that involved Gohan and Videl.

I will start working on the next installment after chapter 14 of my other fic is complete. This may be a little while, even though winter break just started. I just wanted to let everyone know ahead of time. I may not be in class, but I still have a work on and finish my thesis by the end of next semester. Trust me when I say that's a lot of work and not a lot of time to do it in.

I greatly appreciate everyone's patience. It really means a lot to me.

Love ya bunches,
Carebear
