Fifteen-year-old
Pan looked out of the window of her room. She'd just come back to reality from
her reminiscing about her "Galaxy tour" for the Dragon Balls. It was her
thought every night ever since lived in that Capsule Corp. space ship for a
year.
Pan
couldn't sleep however no matter what she tried. What bugged her was she was
still thought of as a child! She would have complained more about that small
fact but it was babyish to whine.
Pan opened
the window in her room. She let the cool breeze in. The Earth's sky called for
her. The sky was deep in black color that night with a myriad number of a
summer night's stars hanging overhead. One star stood out in particular it was
brighter than the rest and appeared to be larger too.
"A
wishing star? Those aren't real just a Disney movie idea, still it couldn't
hurt to try." She knew she was being childish but a part of her wanted to
believe in wishing stars, fairy princesses and brave knights.
"First star
I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight." She
mumbled slowly thinking of her heart's desires.
"I wish, I
wish for that even for one day that I was as old as Trunks!"
Pan closed her eyes; she was being silly that was so
childish.
"Don't give
up on your wish." A voice said startling Pan.
Pan went to turn around up she felt a tingling sensation
going through her body. She began to glow as change happened all around her…
Sunlight
dawned through the window Pan head let open the night before. The sun's gentle
rays caused Pan to open her eyes. She blinked a couple times adjusting to the
light.
"What a
dream, it would have been nice if-
Pan caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror on her dresser.
She gasped in shock. No long did she look as if she was fifteen but she looked
twenty-one! Her soft black hair was at her mid back and she'd grown about a
foot. What she noticed the most was she now had curves in all the right places.
Pan realized that her bed shirt she'd put on last night was incredibility
tight. Hopefully her mother was already up and she could slip in her mom's room
borrow and outfit from her closet.
Pan stepped
out of her bed and noticed a note on the floor that read:
Enjoy your day. But learn
something from whom you love.
Pan thought
about the note for a millisecond but quickly dismissed it from her mind. She
felt happier than she'd ever been until she heard a voice from down stairs.
"Pan-chan are you up yet? Pan?" shouted her fathers voice
from upstairs.
"Ano…Hai,
I'm going to the ummm… mall today with Bra early there's a sale going on at one
of her favorite stores." Pan shouted down making up an excuse.
"Ok
Pan-chan just don't say out too late." Her father's voice shouted up for her
knew how Pan and Bra got carried away sometimes.
"Hai." Said Pan.
Pan looked
in the mirror at herself. She'd managed to find a suitable outfit. She wore a
pair of black jeans she had found with white spaghetti strap shirt and a white
blouse over that. Pan even put on a touch of make up; she wanted to look real
after all. Pan however, left her hair down.
Pan
silently slipped out from the house with out her parents notice. She prepared
to fly off towards Capsule Corp. Excitement raced through Pan's mind; would she
finally be able to tell him how she really felt? Was this what she'd been
waiting for? What would she say to him? Questions like this raced through her
mind.
Pan quickly
landed out of view near the sidewalk in front of the large Capsule Corp.
building.
Her smile
was bright and her spirits high she hadn't a care in the world! Perhaps it was
those thoughts that distracted her from a figure that crashed into her. Pan
fell over backwards and prepared to kick the crap out of who ever ran into her.
"Gomen, I
didn't look where I was going." Said a masculine voice that offered her a hand
up.
Pan stood
up and brushed herself off. Her gaze met his; it looked like Trunks was playing
hookie from work again.
"Ii desu"
she said.
"I was just looking for you. It was lucky of me to catch you
running away, again" Pan added.
"Do I know
you?" he asked
"You do" Pan said.
Trunks
studied her features she seemed oddly familiar. She looked like, like
"Pan?! Pan-chan?" he said aloud.
"Who else
would it be?" she said.
"Nani…happened?" asked Trunks.
"You
happened." Pan said.
Trunks took a moment to recover from what she was implying.
"Listen all
my life I've been near you we saved the world together and laughed a lot
together you protected me on our journey to save the Earth. Sure I could be a
brat but I care about you Trunks but the age difference separated us until last
night and now I have the chance to be eye level with you and I wouldn't miss a
chance to know what you'd think about me."
"How can
I answer that?" Trunks thought to himself. Lot's of girls fought for his
attention and the one closest to him tried to bottle them up but had a chance
to reveal them.
Pan judging
from the fact Trunks didn't want to say what he was thinking (She could tell by
that look in his eyes she'd seen before), she flew up towards the sky with
bitter tears in her eyes. Some wish she'd thought of.
"Man I'm
a baka why can't I say what I feel? I hurt her badly but I've never given a
second thought about Pan always seen her as a child never for what she tried to
be and what I feel for her I just realized I'd covered up inside myself, but
that's not Pan she doesn't realize who she is." Trunks thought.
Trunks took
up to the sky searching for her.
Pan walked
around the downtown of her city with tears in her eyes for hours all that she
could think of was how could he? I'm the same age as him what's holding him
back? Later that night she returned to the door of her house not caring
about when her parents saw her, she was blinded by tears the one she loved most
had no feelings for her.
"Pan-chan?"
inquired a voice behind her.
"Nani Otousama?" said Pan chocking back nearly all her
tears.
Before
Gohan could ask any more about his daughter she explained.
"I made a wish on a star last night and my wish didn't have
the result I had in mind." Pan admitted.
Trunks had
been searching the town all day he was sure he'd covered every inch of it but
still he hadn't found Pan, he really needed to talk to her. Suddenly and idea occurred
to him had she gone home?
Gohan still
looked quizzically at Pan and what she'd grown up to be. Gohan had tried to
comfort her but she refused to talk to him about the problem. There was a knock
at the door. Pan had her head on a kitchen table while her Otousama answered
the door.
"Trunks?"
he asked seeing the purpled haired saiyan at the door.
"Is Pan there?" he asked. Gohan suddenly knew what his
daughter had been so upset about so he gave Gohan a questioning look. Gohan
paused a moment before saying:
"She's in
the kitchen." And he closed the door.
Trunks walked into the kitchen to see Pan with her head on
the table.
"Pan-chan,
I'm awfully sorry" he said.
"You don't have to be." She said
"Iie, I'm
not like you Pan I hide my feelings I admire you for telling me." Trunks said.
Pan looked
up.
"What I don't like is the new you, the old errmm young Pan-chan
had a charming smile and personality I liked. It doesn't matter how old you are
Pan what you need is to find you and I'll take you for the Pan I know." Trunks said
and beamed a smile at Pan.
Pan felt her spirits left, but her
height was shrinking and so was the rest of her.
Trunks watched in surprise.
"You like me for me?" she asked in
surprise as she became her normal self.
"I like you for you, you don't have to prove yourself to me.
Trunks answered.
Pan leaned forward to the truthful gaze from his eyes. That night
ended with a sweet kiss and a promise for dinner that Saturday.
