Sometimes you find love is all the wrong places and then sometimes you find love in the strangest places. This was the situation for Trunks, he was always a ladies man since he grew up, being a briefs and then taking his place as President of Capsule Corp, women would always flock to his side without him even trying. When he wasn't working he was always found hanging out with his circle of friends, which consisted of Goten Son, his sister Bra, Pan Son, Uub, and Marron. They did everything together since they were old enough to walk, training, sparring, movies and anything else they could think of. Deep inside Trunks had deep feelings for Pan, she had grown up from being a little brat and now she was a beautiful young woman who was graduating from high school. He always told himself that he would confess to her one day, in actuality he's been telling himself that for the past 5 years. But he thought she wouldn't feel the same, since he knew she never agreed with the fact of his dozen girlfriends he had over at his house lately.

Trunks POV

The entire Z-gang sat in Yamamoto High School gymnasium for Pan and Bra's Graduation, some of us were crying and some of us were yawning. I snuck a glance down the line of friends to the face of my best friend. Goten had snuck a few tears down his cheek seeing bra walk on stage and accept her diploma. When was he going to admit he had feelings for my little sister? I chuckled softly when Goten noticed me staring at him; he quickly wiped the tears and acted like nothing was happening. Deep inside I was also crying, after the girls were graduated, they made plans to go to the states to get their degrees in business management, and we both knew they would be gone for a while. Soon pans name was called and my eyes shot to the stage, before I could yell for pan, my ear were pierced by the screams coming from her mother and grandmother. Pan stood there and accepted her diploma but not before showing a little blush from the sudden out roar of her family. I smiled as I watched her exit the stage and run over to my sister. Those two have been friends forever, they did EVERYTHING together, and I'm not being sarcastic, I meant that they did EVERYTHING together. But it benefited me, because of my sister, I got to see pan more often than I planned. Before I knew it they were tossing their caps and cheering, I soon followed my parents to find the two graduates. Of course we found my sister first, she was being bombarded by men, and my dad was growling like a guard dog at all the boys as they ran off screaming. At times like these, I'm glad I'm not a girl. Bra smiled up at me as I smiled back at her.

"Congrats sis!" I said pulling her into a suffocating hug as she returned my hug

"Thanks bro, but can you stop trying to kill me!" She said through gasps as I noticed how hard I was squeezing her, I quickly let go and smiled.

"Sorry!" I said laughing nervously looking around for pan. As if on cue my sister answered my thoughts

"If you're looking for pan, she's right there!" bra said turning me around. I always wondered if she knew I liked pan. Something's she did when pan was around made me so suspicious. I looked through the crowd and automatically noticed black spiky hair and knew it was goku. Soon I saw Pan and made my way over there. I walked through the crowd as many women stared at me and whistled, I ignored them and walked faster out of the crowd and to the wall that the son's family were standing against. Pan was currently hugging her grandfather Goku, and I knew that was one hug I didn't want to interrupt. I patiently waited for the endless hug to finish as Pan made eye contact with me and blushed. I smiled as I opened my arms; she smiled back at me and ran into my arms. I gently held her there, trying to take in the moment.

"Congrats Pan, I'm so proud of you!" I said as I released my arms that were around her and smiled. I could tell she was blushing but I didn't understand why she was. I then felt a hand on my shoulder and looked back into my best friends smiling face. Soon my family joined hers and said their Congrats to the graduates.

"I wanna have a party for the girls at Capsule Corp. Kind of a graduation/ going away party, since their leaving us on Saturday!" My mother said excitedly, I then looked over to my dad who was claiming his spot in the only doorway and rolling his eyes at my mother's plans. Everyone knew he hated when my mother needed to have constant gatherings at home, and he hated the invasion of people there also, it took precious time away from his training, he once told me.

"That's sound GREAT mom!" Bra said going over and hugging her best friend in agreement. I saw the way pan looked at the mention of a BIG party, she hated them also. If you didn't already know her, she could be mistaken as one of my father's kids, they were so much alike. Always sparring till one of them were on the brink of death, having eating competitions at midnight, and always complaining about dressing up and having parties. But that's why I liked her, she was so rare, I never in my life ever met someone like her. Someone I could be myself in front of and with, instead of scaring the crap out of her when I took off into the sky or punch through a concrete wall. Deep inside I wanted to be with her more than anything but to me, she seemed like she was some kind of rare treasure that I was not allowed to have or touch, and inside that hurt. My sister's voice brought me out of my trance as I quickly gathered myself and looked up into her smiling face.

"What?" I asked her sheepishly as she smiled larger.

"Were you thinking about pan again?" She whispered to me, as my mouth dropped. So she did know but that's not a good thing.

"Huh? What? Please! Like I would, she's like another sister!" I said nervously, and I'm pretty sure I stuttered which probably gave me away, my sister wasn't stupid.

"Uh-huh! That's why I hear you calling her name in your sleep, you know brother you really shouldn't sleep on the couch, I heard everything you said about her in your sleep and so did dad!" She said smiling and adding a small laugh as she returned to the group. I stood there staring at the ground dumbfounded and embarrassed. My father and sister knew my secret for who knows how long, before long their going to tell everyone?

"Damn It!" I cursed myself as I looked towards my father in the doorway; of course he was smiling at me. And it wasn't a normal smile; it was that smile that would make you worry what he was thinking about. That made me nervous so I quickly looked away in embarrassment.

"Hey Trunks!" I heard my best friend's voice calling me over the yelling and screaming. I looked over to him and smiled, following him out the door and into the parking lot.

"What's up man?" I said asking hesitantly as we walked closer to my Mercedes in the parking lot and stopped at my trunk. Goten turned around to face me and he had a serious face on, that seemed like the first time I had seen that look from him.

"The girls wanna have a pool party today when we get back?" He slowly told me as a smile appeared on my face.

"Well I guess it's a good thing that we're both off today!" I said still smiling until I saw the serious face still plastered on his face.

"What's up?" I asked confused by his face

"I can't do this anymore, I should have said something to her before and now it's too late, she's leaving to the states in a few days and I can't do anything about it. She'll probably find a handsome guy there and everything!" Goten spat out quickly as he fell to the ground on his knees with his face in his hands. It really took me by surprise that he felt this strongly about my sister, I knew he liked her for some time but this was a whole different story. I smiled and squatted beside him placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Why don't you tell her today? I have a feeling she might feel the same way!" I said smiling as he looked up from his hands and stared at me in wonder.

"Are you sure? You know me Trunks, I don't take rejection too well!" he told me sarcastically, I knew that fact all too well.

"Yah man, she hasn't gone out with anyone in a while and I see the way she looks at you!" I said elbowing him as he stood up. That made his serious face disappear and that famous son smile appear.

"Thanks man, I really needed that!" He thanked me and hit me in the shoulder. I just smiled back at him and looked back at the school, pan and bra were making their way slowly towards us and my smile got bigger.

"So when are you going to confess to my niece?" Goten asked me as I slowly turned to face him hesitantly. How the heck did he know? Did my father? No my father hated him, did my sister? No she's always too embarrassed to talk to Goten. Who then?

"How did you know?" I asked confused

"Please, bro, we've been friends for how long? I'm not as stupid as people say I am?" He said smiling at me as I nervously laughed.

"So are you going to tell her before they leave?" He asked as we leaned on my car facing the school, while watching the loves of our lives walk towards us.

"I don't think it's a good time to do that, she's leaving, it wouldn't make a difference!" I said softly as I looked up to the sky.

"How about a deal? I'll tell Bra if you tell Pan!" He said looking over at me. I thought about it for a minute. Maybe Goten will be too scared to say anything and then I won't have to. But deep inside I wanted to let her know how I felt before she left, and I had to admit, Goten was right to be worried about the girls going to the states and finding their own sets of guys. When that thought came across my mind, my hands unknowingly clenched into a fist and didn't go unnoticed.

"So you're worried about them going to the states too?" Goten asked with a loud sigh, I just nodded in agreement.

"I'll take your deal!" I told Goten as the 2 girls finally reached us. He smiled and nodded

"Hey what are you guys doing out here all alone?" Pan asked us as she slid in between me and Goten with a smile towards my sister, I saw my sister blush and my smile grew larger. Pan just laughed at Bras face and pulled away from us to the stand next to her again.

"Nothing, we just needed to get away from the noise for a while!" I said breaking the awkward silence with a genuine smile. My head shot to side when I heard some guys whistling in our direction. Goten head then turned in the same direction as mines. We knew they were whistling at Pan and Bra by the way the girls rolled their eyes and turned towards the 2 guys that made their way over to us. Inside I growled at the tall one as I watched him look pans body up and down. Deep inside I wanted to rip his throat out for looking at her like that but I tried to keep my composure.

"Brad what the hell do you want? Can you never catch a hint?" Pan spat out through her teeth as she looked at me. It took me by surprise, that look in her face almost looked like she was looking for some help.

"Oh come on beautiful, let's go out tonight!" He said smiling at pan, my blood started to boil as I watched him step closer to pan. But knowing pans stubbornness she would stand her ground.

"Hey bra, so about that date tonight?" The blonde one spoke to bra as he gently grazed his hand down her shoulder. I heard a growl and thought it was me at first until I felt Goten Ki rise. I hesitantly looked over to him and the look on his face could only be described with one word, murderous! I grabbed at him arm to hold him back from killing anyone but I knew that wasn't going to be enough when I saw the blonde man grab at Bra roughly to pull her against him. Goten took off towards the blonde man, pulling Bra into his arms and turning to give the blonde man a death glare that would make my father run for his money. The blonde man just laughed and tossed his hair.

"Oh whose this little boy bra, is he your brother?" The blonde man said mockingly towards Goten.

"Don't touch her, she's mine!" Goten growled at the man as he threw himself at him, tackling him to the ground and launching quick punches at the man's face. It took me by surprise that Goten actually said it so easily and in front of Bra on top of that. I pulled Pan and Bra to my side giving the man named Brad the same death glare that made him retreat leaving his bloody and bruised friend lying on the ground. I noticed my sister's surprised face as Goten took his anger out on the blonde man.

"Why did he do that?" My sister asked with a shaky voice as she watched Goten yell in the man's face, something about 'if he ever goes near bra again that that would be the last thing he ever would do'.

"Sister you really are blind!" I said rolling my eyes as she punched my shoulder and blushed at my words.

Goten got up off the boy as the boy ran away limping, goten just laughed and turned towards bra with a smile. She surprisingly was smiling back at him, I thought she would have either been mad or scared after seeing that show, but she ran into his arms willingly as Goten smiled towards me. I just nodded since I knew his smile meant thank you.

"They're so cute together!" Pan said to me as I shuddered at the sound of her voice. I almost forgot she was standing so close to me.

"I never thought I would see the day when they would finally tell each other how they feel!" She said letting go of a tear as I placed my arm around her protectively. Pan made throwing up faces as Goten and Bra continued to kiss. I just laughed at her many faces and she sighed and pulled away from my arm.

"Ok, ok, ok you guys can you stop sucking face long enough for us to have our pool party with Marron and Uub who are probably waiting for us!" Pan said walking away from us and to the front of my car holding the door handle while staring at me.

"Um trunks are you going to unlock the car or am I going to have to break it open?" She asked with her hand on her hip. It made me uneasy to see her like this; it just made her even more appealing. I blushed as I fiddled with the keys in my pocket and finally unlocked the car. Pan smiled at me and stepped in. I quickly looked over to my sister and goten as they smiled at me.

"Good luck bro!" My sister whispered to me as I blushed and she laughed

"Remember our deal bro?" Goten asked me as he held my sister to his chest and winked at me. I nodded in agreement.

"Yah, yah, yah, just hurry home, the others are waiting for us!" I said sarcastically towards the newfound couple as they snickered and entered Goten car that was parked next to me. I got into my car hesitantly and turned it on. Pan quickly rolled her window down as Goten did the same.

"NO DETOURS!" Pan yelled at them as they sighed and nodded to her.

"IM WARNING YOU! I'LL FIND YOU!" Pan said warning them again as they nodded again. Goten quickly put his car into reverse and took off out of the parking lot. I just sat there and sighed putting my car in reverse. We soon got stuck in traffic leaving the parking lot of the school and this time pan sighed.

"Oh I can't wait to get away from this school for good!" Pan said taking the pins out of her hair and letting it fall around her face and down her chest. I could smell her watermelon shampoo as a gust of wind blew through my car. I stared at her as she pulled her fingers through her head, massaging her scalp in the process. She was beautiful! I was quickly pulled out of my trance as I felt someone staring at me from the opposite direction. Pan face turned from being content to being pissed off as she stared in the direction behind me. I hesitantly turned towards my window where there stood a brunette woman leaning against my car. If it wasn't for all the traffic leaving this darn parking lot, I would have left in a heartbeat but it seemed it was impossible. The woman looked me up and down and smiled.

"I knew I recognized you! Your Trunks Briefs, aren't you?" She asked in a flirtatious smile as I rolled my eyes. I knew where this was heading and I didn't want to do it with pan around. I heard someone growl and surprisingly it came from pan. The look in her face took me back to the time when I brought my first girlfriend home. Pans Ki rose and her face changed to that of pure anger. My father had to hold her down while I quickly got my ex-girlfriend out of the house before pan killed her. Pan kept growling at the woman staring into my window.

"Yes I am. May I help you?" I asked not wanting to be rude even though I knew where this was heading

"Oh, great! How about you ditch that chick and we can hang out later!" She said leaning into the car more, causing her blouse to adjust, showing off more cleavage than I needed to see. I suddenly felt something on my lap and turned to come face to face with pan. Pan leaned from her chair to my window, placing her hands on my thighs. It took everything in me to not jump her right there and then. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to take control of my hormones as her hair brushed against my neck. I was wondering what she was doing until I saw where her hand was now. It was around the woman's throat causing the woman's face to change colors.

"Stay. The hell. Away. From. Him.!" She growled into the woman's face and threw her out the window and onto the parking lot ground. Thankfully the traffic cleared up and I took off out of the parking lot and towards capsule corp. By then pan had sat back in her seat and began to fix her hair. I looked at her from the side of my eye and noticed the deep red color in her cheeks and the small smile on her lips. What the heck what that all about? I asked myself.

"Sorry about that?" She apologized to me while looking out the window with her chin leaning on her hand.

"Don't worry about it, you saved me!" I said with a small laugh as I looked back to the road.

"If you don't mind me asking, what was that about anyways?" I asked hesitantly as I watched the road intently. I could feel that she was embarrassed and blushing from my question.

"Never mind, you don't have to answer that question if it's personal!" I said breaking the silence as we pulled in front of Capsule Corp. She looked over to me and smiled.

"Maybe I'll tell you one day!" She said with a smile and blushes as she quickly got out my car and took off towards the house. I sat there confused; did she just admit that she was jealous or protective of me? I quickly shook the thought from my head and got out of the car. She was so cute when she was shy; I was the only one that ever got to see that side of her.
