Trunks: 14
"Trunks! I don't want to play this game anymore!" Pan whined in a curled up ball, her Onyx eyes filling with tears. "Aw, Pan… Don't cry Angel! It's just a game!" Trunks said, swooping the little bundle into his arms. Pan whimpered and curled up tighter against his chest. He stroked her short raven hair softly, and shushed her. "All better? We won't play Hide and go Scare anymore then. Okay?" Trunks said, kissing her forehead. Pan nodded, and wiped her tears away. She closed her eyes, and sniffed a few times.
"You look tired. Let's get you to bed." Trunks said, heading upstairs toward the bedrooms. "No Trunks-kun! I'm not ready for bed yet!" Pan said, squirming in his grasp. "Calm down! I'll read you a story before you fall asleep. Deal?" he asked her, trying to gain control of her flailing arms and legs. "Okay. It better be a good story Trunksie!" she said, crossing her arms stubbornly while he held her.
They entered the bedroom, and Trunks laid Pan down on her Turquoise mattress, and proceeded to the bookshelf. He looked at each book. Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, SLEEPING BEAUTY…. 'Ah, sleeping beauty aught to make her go to sleep.' He thought. He snatched the book from the shelf, and tucked Pan under the covers. He sat on the side of her bed and began to read.
"Once upon a time, in a faraway land…." Pan yawned and blinked at Trunks sweetly. She loved the sound of his voice. It could always lull her to sleep. "and the Princess was cursed by the evil fairy…." Trunks continued. He could tell Pan was getting sleepy now. "after she pricked her finger, she collapsed and fell into a deep slumber. All the people in the kingdom fell asleep with her, and the Castle was barricaded by a Forest of thorny vines. There was…" Pan began to flutter her eyes as sleep called to her. But she wanted to hear the end of the story… It was her favorite part.
"He slashed his sword through all the branches, but that wasn't the end of it. Out of no-where, the evil fairy appeared and turned herself into a Dragon that could breathe fire. He proceeded to the castle, fighting off the green flames of…." Pan didn't have much more energy in her. She HAD to hear the end! She was determined to stay awake. "He walked up the stairs of the tower that legends, told of a beautiful maiden in a deep sleep. He saw her, and she was truly beautiful. Her Brunette locks falling about her face.
He approached her and kneeled beside her bed. Lowering his face to hers, he planted a soft kiss onto her lips. She fluttered her eyelashes and awoke. She smiled at him, and kissed him again, happy that her eternal slumber was over. The kingdom was returned to normal, and they were married within that hour. They both lived happily together. The End." Trunks finished, closing the book. He looked over at Pan, and was sure she was asleep without a doubt.
He leaned over, and kissed her tiny cheek. As he put the book back on the bookshelf, he smiled at her and closed the door to her room, making sure her night light was on. Pan opened one eye, and closed it again. Her tiny lips formed a smile. Trunks was her prince, and now, she was the Sleeping Beauty.
FIN! I hope you guys like it! This was another One-shot, cause chapter 3 of my active story was destroyed. Maybe this satisfied your taste buds for a bit!
