I don't own Dragonball Z/GT or any of the characters. Yadda yadda copy write Akira Toriyama.
This story really doesn't have much to do with the Dragonball Z series. I'm just taking the characters and putting them in a story I've thought up. I've titled it ~Whisper~ after the song Whisper by Evanescence because it reminded me how Pan feels…
Everyone's totally out of characters and I'm sorry. Everyone has a different personality because they are taking on traits from people I know. I won't be using all the characters either.

Return to Me
June 2, 2003, Wednesday
The sun was just rising over the hill. Everything was covered in morning dew as Pan lay sprawled across her bed. One hand hung over the edge as the other lay across her head. Both legs were tangled in the sheets, clothes thrown about everywhere imaginable. She was clearly the type of girl who didn't take many things seriously. She didn't care, or just had her head in the clouds.
She was a dreamer, always forgetting one thing or an other. Her mind often drifted from real life to-him. He was always on her mind, more now then before since he moved to the
city. She often cry herself to sleep missing him.
They had all been best friends since she could remember. Trunks, Goten, Bra, and her. She never thought they would ever be separated, but things change. As they got older Trunks wanted bigger better things like college. Naturally, he drug Goten with him. Pan understood why, but that didn't mean she had to like it.
She hated the idea of all those college girls chasing Trunks around. He was quiet a good-looking guy which is one reason Pan took to him so quickly, but Trunks was always drawn to helpless feminine girls…well, Pan wasn't exactly helpless nor was she very feminine. She'd never worn a dress in her life and beat up half the guys in school by the time she was 13! How could she compete with those petit girls?
Pan was very beautiful and had a great figure, but that wasn't what she wanted Trunks to like her for. She was clever and creative though she had a bit of an attitude problem, but look who she had for a mother! She had to be an ass-kicking, act now ask questions later kind of girl! She was one of the first female Super-Saiyans in more then a million year and her father and Grandfather happened to be two of the most powerful beings in the universe!
Pan planned on getting Trunks' attention this summer though. She had to tell him how she felt. She couldn't function properly without him. How was she going live without him??
Pan's alarm clock clicked on and blared some really annoying song throughout her room. Pan's hand flew up from the edge of the bed and slammed down on the snooze button bringing silence to her room once again.
How great silence is Pan thought drifting back to sleep as her alarm clock buzzed and blared back through her room. "I know damn it!"
Pan lifted her hand and blew the clock into pieces with an energy ball. She moaned and put her face into the pillow. There was a knock on the door.
"Pan, honey? Are you alright?" Her mother asked.
"I'm fine!"
"Oh, alright."
Pan rolled out of bed and landed on the floor. She crawled to her closet and grabbed a pair of pants. She was dead tired from lack of sleep that night. She kept herself up with thoughts of Trunks.
She fell back and pulled her pants on over each leg in the air. "Too tired."
Pan got to her feet and pulled a shirt over her head. She grabbed a hair tie and pulled her hair out of her face. She then grabbed her shoes and went downstairs. She sat down at the kitchen table next to her father and slammed her head down upon it. "Oww…"
Gohan lowered his morning paper to look at her. He raised his eye brows at her. "Did you destroy another alarm clock?" He asked.
Pan lifted her head which had a piece of the paper stuck to it. She smiled stupidly at her father.
"I see." Gohan said lifting the paper back up. "Add another alarm clock to the shopping list, Videl. Pan has an accident."
"I suppose." Videl said putting muffins on the table and sat down across from Gohan.
Pan grabbed one and stood up from the table. "Trunks is coming home today." Videl smiled. "That's wonderful." Pan grabbed her bag and threw it over her shoulder. "I won't be home right after school. I'm going over to Bra's. She said walking to the front door.
"Trunks is how old now, Pan?" Gohan asked from behind his paper.
Pan stopped and stood looking at the door. "18."
"That's what I thought."
Pan opened the door and left. So what if he was 18. It didn't make any difference because they were still best friends. She didn't understand why Gohan was so protective of her. It was Trunks they were talking about for Kami sake!
She could understand he worried about guys he didn't know…not that she hung out with other guys besides Trunks and Gotten. Any normal guy would get scared and run away after learning who her father and Grandfather were.
Pan kicked the dirt outside her house. By this time everyone knew about their powers though she wished they didn't. Ever since the day everyone found the truth Pan and all the others became the most popular people in school. Bra didn't mind this, she was already pretty popular to start with, but Pan hated the attention. She especially hated girls dragging Trunks off all the time.
Damn their families for being what they were, but as long as people knew she might as well enjoy it and show off just a little!
Pan jumped into the air and fly towards her school. She put her arms across her chest and closed her eyes. She flew along the clouds. She really didn't care for people if she didn't know them personally. She was often angry and seemed mad at the world.
The truth is she was just annoyed with all the stupid people in the world. here just seemed to be so many. She convinced herself this was the problem, but one thing she didn't mind was people being afraid of her. She liked it that was too. She figured if people were afraid they'd stay away from her, but they just seemed to find flock to her even more.
Pan turned her head to the side and opened her eyes. She was over her school now. There were a group of cheerleaders standing if the front of the school. Marron's group to be more specific. She hated Marron and her friends more then anyone at her school and knowing they were the ones most afraid of her brought great joy to her heart.
You'd think Pan and Marron would be friends having grown up together, but Pan had hated Marron ever since they were little. Marron had a thing for Trunks and that burned Pan inside. All the constant flirting just pissed her off.
Pan smirked. It was time for some fun. Pan stopped over the girls' heads, held her arms out to her sides, and dived straight at them. One of the girls face filled with horror as she glanced up and saw her coming. The others looked up as Pan stopped 2 inches from their heads and then shot off in the other direction.
They all screamed as pan came back ground and landed on both feet with one hand on the sidewalk. The look on Pan's face after she landed forced a few girls to stumble back wards, running into the others causing them to fall over as well.
They all stumbled to their feet and backed away as Pan smiled to herself looking very please with herself.
Marron, who wasn't very far away talking to a college boy came stampeding over. "That was some entrance Son Pan."
Pan turned her head in Marron's direction. "Yeah, it was fun. You should try it sometime.
Pan said turning her body to face Marron completely. "Oh, wait…I forgot - you can't!"
Marron smiled. "That's alright, Pan. I'll just have Trunks teach me when he comes over tonight."
Pan's face turned red. "What?!" She yelled.
"Oh, dear. I guess he didn't tell you. I'm the first person he's coming to see when he first gets her…and you thought it was going to be you - how sweet." Marron tossed her hair. "He said he couldn't stand not seeing me another minute!"
Pan balled her hands into fists. "You lying little bi-!" Pan stopped as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She knew it was Bra. She could smell her perfume.
"That's news to me, Marron. To my understanding my brothers coming straight home to see his family."
Marron glared at her. She stopped getting along with Bra when she kicked her out of the most popular girl at school position. "Well, he called me last night and said he was getting in early to see me and he wasn't going to tell anyone so we'll see!" She snapped.
Bra's hand tightened on Pan's shoulder as she stepped forward. "Yes, we'll see."
Marron gave one last dirty look and fallowed her friends into the school. Bra let go of Pan's shoulder.
"Were you seriously thinking of beating her ass!? How stupid are you!?" Bra barked putting her hands on her hips. "That last day of our Junior year and your considering breaking her face! Your on your last chance, Pan!"
Pan threw her hands into the air. God how she hated Bra's lectures.
"I know, but she's asking for it! Errr, I hate her!"
Bra shook her head. "And what? You think I don't?"
Pan had almost forgotten what had happened a year ago between her and Goten. They had been dating for awhile when she caught him cheating with one of Marron's friends. Goten was drunk at the time, but the fact that he cheated broke Bra's heart. She closed herself off from people until she came to deal with it.
Trunks wasn't very happy with it either. He told Goten he'd brake his neck is he ever broke his baby sisters heart and well if not his neck it was his back. Trunks threw him out an upstairs window. Goten landed wrong and that's when my family started having different thoughts about Trunks.
"Your right, Bra. If anyone should be breaking her face it should be you."
Bra smiled. "Damn right!"
Pan laughed. "Let's go to class."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goten snuck down the hallway of their apartment and crept into Trunks' room.
"Hey Trunks. You up?" He whispered.
Trunks snored and turned his head. He was dead to the world then sleeping.
"Trunks!"
Nothing.
"TRUNKS!!" Goten yelled as loud as he could slapping him across the face causing Trunks to snore louder.
Goten laughed. "Man, the world could be falling apart around you and you'd still be sleeping like a baby!"
Goten climbed on Trunks' bed and started jumping as hard as he could. "EARTHQUAKE! WE'RE ALL GUNNA DIE!!"
Trunks eyes flew open and he bounced out of bed landing on his ass. "What the fuck!" He yelled getting to his feet and bracing himself.
Goten fell to the bed laughing. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty! This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an actual emergency you would be dead!"
"You asshole!" Trunks yelled jumping on the bed after him. Goten stood up and hopped off the bed.
"I've told you once already, Trunks. I'm not that kinda guy! Haha!"
Trunks laughed and sat on the end of his bed. "I need drugs.."
Goten stopped jumping around Trunks' room and stared at him. "Drugs you say? I don't know what you speak of. I know nothing of drugs!"
Trunks rolled his eyes. "Stop being a moron."
"I'm serious! 'Cause my friends here." Goten said bulling two bags of pot out of his pocket. "Think drugs are very bad for you!"
Trunks smiled. "How could I ever doubt you." He said taking one of the begs.
"That's what I keep telling you, Trunks. I am the man!"
Trunks grabbed a pare of pants and attempted to put them on, but failed and fell on his ass again. "It's too damn early!" He moaned.
"Stop your bitching! I told my dad we'd be in early.
Trunks turned to him with a big smile on his face.
Goten raised his eye brows at him. "What!? I don't like that look!"
"I'm going to wait to see Pan. Make her wait awhile. It'll drive her crazy!"
"Don't play mind games like that with her. You know how she feels about you."
Trunks got up for a second try at putting his pants in. "I'm not playing games. We are best friends after all." He said winning the war agents his pants and wondered off to the bathroom.
"We're going home!!" He shouted running through the house.
Alright, going off to college turned Goten and Trunks into your typical stoners, but they loved their families. They couldn't wait to get home and Trunks couldn't wait to see Pan. She was turning into a woman and he knew it. He could only imagine what she looked like after a whole year. Pan was pretty as a child, but have to be gorgeous now.
Trunks looked at himself in the mirror. He let his hair grow out and Pan had always liked his hair short. He wanted to look good for her because there was no way in hell he was going to see her looking like the stoner he was. He grabbed the scissors and chopped his hair above his ears and buzzed the back with his razor.
"Hey, Goten!" He shouted. "There are going to be some changes around here.
Goten popped his head in the room. "And those changes would be?" He asked with bloodshot eyes. It was clear to Trunks he was high.
"You'll see…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not even an hour before school let out was sitting down in the Principles office.
"Well, Mrs. Son. Fancy seeing you in my office AGAIN!" Said a fat blonde man in a chair. Mr. Furlong, the Principle, he's always had something agents the Son family.
"Do you know why you're here this time?" He asked her with his high pitched piggy voice.
Pan sighed, flung her leg over the chair arm, and crossed her arms. "I punched Bobby Flay in the face."
"Exactly! Why are you the only one who doesn't see anything wrong with this!?"
"Because he grabbed my ass in the lunch line! He deserved what he got!" She exclaimed.
Mr. Furlong got out of his chair. "I see.." He said roughly. "Do you like guys, Pan?"
Pan's eyes darkened. "What kind of question is that!?" She snapped.
"Just a question…have you ever had a boyfriend?"
Pan jumped out of her seat. "That's none of your business! What the hell is this!?"
"Calm down, Pan. I'm just trying to figure out why you kicked a young man in the groin for bumping into you in the hall and punched another for getting your attention by putting this hand on your shoulder. I can understand why you hit Bobby, but the other two did nothing wrong at all!"
Pan sat back in her chair and crossed her arms again. "There are a limited few of men in this world I allow to touch me. None of which who go to this school."
"Yes, well I don't need any names because I'm sure two of them would be Trunks and Goten. Two of the biggest trouble makers to ever attend this school! I should take away all your credits right now, but being who you are! One more slip up and your out of here on the last day of school! Now get out!" He bellowed.
Pan stood up and walked into the hall. "Asshole." she muttered to herself.
A group of people was forming outside the Auditorium doors Pan noticed. She figured she'd make a clean get away as she was spotted by an under classmen. The girl walked over to Pan looking quiet nervous.
"Um…Pan? Can I call you, Pan?" She asked twiddling her fingers.
"Getting to the point of why you approached me anytime soon." Pan said in the nicest way she could.
"Oh, well you know Marron right? Well of course you do, but anyway. She's in the Auditorium now and she's-"
"Does it look like I care what she's doing!" Pan snapped.
The girl looked petrified. "Yes, because she's talking about Trunks!" She shouted out putting her hands over her head.
Pan looked at her. "She's talking about Trunks? To the whole school??" Pan asked.
"Yes, I just thought you should know because he's your best friend and everything. I think she's also talking about Goten."
Pan turned to the Auditorium. "Thanks for telling me um..", Pan scratched her head. "Kate, isn't it?" She asked.
The girl smiled. "You remembered my name!"
Pan forced a stupid smile. "Yes, well I'm just going to see what all the talk is about so nice talking to you. Bye!" Pan said rushing off and found Bra already waiting for her at the entrance.
Bra looked at Pan and rolled her eyes. "This ought to be good." She said pointing in at Marron. Pan looked over and narrowed her eyes on Marron.
"Well, as you all know my Junior class are going to be Seniors next year! Marron said perkily.
Cheers irrupted from the stadiums.
"Wow, did she just figure that one out?" Pan asked annoyed.
"Probably, she's not exactly the brightest color in the box."
"Well since we're going to be responsible Seniors I've decided to through a party!" She continued.
Pan rolled her eyes. "That's what's so important? I thought that girl said she was walking about Trunks. Oh, who cares..lets go." Pan said starting to walk away.
"In honor of Trunks!"
Pan's mouth dropped open as she turned back to face Marron. "Have I missed something?" She asked. Bra shook her head.
"We all know and love Trunks! It just hasn't been the same without him and this is going to be a Welcome Back Party! I've already talked to him about it and it's all set so leave Friday open!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks finished shoving his things into his suitcase. "I'm finally getting away from his city." He said as Goten opened the door. "You ready to go?" He asked.
Trunks smiled. "Yeah, let's go."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan and Bra left the Auditorium. "I guess I'll just head in home."
Bra glared at her. "You don't seriously believe her, do you?"
"No, I just want to go home." Pan told her walking out of the school. "Weather she's lying or not what makes me think he wants to see me?" Before Bra could get a word in Pan already left her behind in a cloud of dust.
She didn't know why she let Marron get to her like she did. Pan landed outside her house and ran through the front door. Videl was sitting in the living room.
"Is he-"
"No, he hasn't gotten into town yet."
Pan looked to the side. "oh, I'll just be upstairs if you need me then." She said turning up the stairs.
"School called."
Pan closed her eyes. 'Damn it.' She thought to herself. "It wasn't my fault! He grabbed me!"
"Pan, you've hit five guys this year! Seven that last! Do you want to fail, is that it!?"
"Well, I'm sorry to be such a disappointment!" Pan yelled running upstairs into her room and slammed the door. She laid on her bed and drifted off to sleep thinking of Trunks.
Hours passed and Pan still slept until 10:00 at night when her alarm clock went off.
Pan's eye shot open. Her mother must have gotten her a new alarm, but why would it be set for 10:00 a night she wondered sitting up in bed. The room was pitch black except for a crack under the door where the hall light shown through.
Pan rubbed her eyes and squinted. A frown came across her face. No one had tried waking her up which meant Trunks had come over. She rubbed her eyes again which were now filling with tears. He had forgotten her and was probably with Marron.
Pan flung the blankets over her legs getting ready to jump out of bed when the floor made a creaking noise behind her. She turned her head violently towards the noise only to bed tackled off the bed before she could make out any shapes.
Pan screamed as her attacker turned her over laughing. It was a very playful caring laugh that Pan knew. She froze and laid there for a minute breathing deeply. There was a scent in the air that was very familiar. Pan shivered under him.
"Trunks!" She shouted sitting up and diving into his arms. Trunks smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey, why are you crying?" He asked holding her back and whipping her tears.
Pan sighed feeling stupid. "I thought you forgot about me and Marron said-"
"You believed something that girl said!? How could I forget about you, Pan? You're my best friend!"
Pan couldn't help, but smiling wider. "I was being stupid, that's all. I guess with all the problems I've been having I thought you'd be here to make everything better."
Trunks face saddened. He had gotten in early he was just messing with her. He didn't know she really needed him.
"Well, I'm here now and I will make everything better, but hey! Happy Birthday! Mrs. 16!" That's right Pan had turned 16. She was a woman know and she wanted Trunks to know that.
"I've really missed you! You have no idea!" Pan said as Trunks hugged her tighter. Pan hesitated when she felt Trunks hand run down her lower back and slid around to rest on her hip while the other traced from under her breast to her waste. She didn't mind this, but it seemed strange to her.
Pan pulled away and glared at him. "What the hell were you thinking scaring the crap out of me like that anyway!"
Trunks laughed breathlessly. "You know me. You should've learned I do that by now."
"Yeah," Pan sighed and stood up, hitting the light switch. She stood there and pulled her hair out of the messed up ponytail it was in. She ran her fingers through her hair and flicked it around as Trunks openly stared at her.
Pan noticed and automatically dropped her hands to her sides feeling embarrassed. "Something wrong?" she asked.
Trunks smile widened. "No, nothings wrong." He said standing up so the both of them could get a better look at each other. Trunks was a little taller from the last time she saw him. He still had his boyish good looks.
Pan on the other hand, Trunks noticed, had changed a lot. She was taller, thinner, and her jet black hair now rest upon her mid-back. Her face was more feminine looking then before which reminded Trunks of the college girls he went to school with. Trunks always thought she was pretty when they were kids, but now to put it in his words she was hot!
Pan fidgeted under his stare. "So…where's Goten?" She asked.
Trunks shook his head again trying to get his brain to function properly. "Oh, he's downstairs talking with Gohan."
"I'm going to go and say hi." She said opening her bedroom door."
"Alright, I'll just wait here." Trunks said sitting on the corner on her bed."
Pan smiled nervously. "Okay." she said running downstairs. Goten was at the bottom of the stairs by the time she reached the bottom step.
Goten turned and smiled at her as she launched herself off the stairs and into his arms almost knocking him over. "I've missed you, uncle!" She shouted.
Goten laughed and groaned at the same time. "It makes me feel so old when you call me that."
Pan giggled. "I know! That's why I do it!"
Goten put her down and became serious. "Has Bra said anything to you?" He asked sounding hopeful.
Pan lowered her eyes. "No, she hasn't said anything about you."
Goten nodded his head. "I didn't think she would."
"Maybe you should go see you."
"Yeah, maybe when I go over with Trunks later." Goten said as the front door opened with Chichi and Goku walking in. Goten ran to them and hugged them both at the same time.
Pan smiled and looked towards her bedroom. "Guess I won't be getting any quality time with Goten tonight." She said walking back upstairs and into her room.
Trunks was laying stretched across her bed. "Don't you have a family to be with?"
"You are my family and besides mom and dad probably got me some lame gift." Trunks said yawning.
Pan rolled her eyes. "They're only trying to show you how proud they are."
Trunk snickered. "Yeah, only because they try to pretend I'm not a lazy drug addict."
Pan's eye darted to Trunks face as he eyes darkened on him. "So, you lied to me!"
She shouted.
Trunks' body sprung up violently. Damn it! He had told Pan he stopped and promise he would never start again. "No, I didn't mean..I-"
"No! You said you're a drug addict! You admitted it and lied to me!" She shouted turning away from him.
"Pan, I'm sorry." He said getting off the bed and walking to her. "What else is there for a screw up like me, anyway?"
Pan turned her head towards him with tears in her eyes. "You were never a screw up." She said in a low voice.
"Only in your eyes." He said putting his hand on her shoulder only to have it knocked away. Pan turned to grab the door handle, but Trunks snatched her hand and pulled her tight to him hugging her face to his chest.
"Err! Let go!" Pan snapped.
"Sorry, can't do that." Trunks said squeezing her tighter.
Pan flung her arms into the air. "That's not fair!"
Trunks laughed then sighed. "Oh, it's just like when we were kids!" He said rocking from side to side taking Pan's head with him. "I'd put you in a head lock and you'd scream and shout it wasn't fair just because you were smaller then me."
Pan stuck her hand on Trunks' stomach and put her foot on his hip and pushed trying to free herself. "But I'm not a little kid anymore!" She growled.
"Oh, believe me. I know."
Pan raised her eyes brows at him and grabbed his hand flipping him over her shoulder. She turned to face him and took a stance.
Trunks laughed and looked up at her. "I see Goku's been training you."
"Damn straight! You better be ready next time!" Pan said crossing her arms.
Trunks wasn't sure on just what he was getting himself into anymore, but he wanted to find out. He grabbed her foot and pulled her on top of him and put his arms around her.
"If you were any other guy I would-"
"Tear me into a million pieces! Yes, I've heard this many times, Panny!"
Pan's lips tightened. "I hate when you call me that!" Pan snapped looking up into his eyes. Trunks eyes softened on her. The way he was looking at her made her want to cry. Her angry quickly faded as she became lost in his gaze. He had the most incredible eyes she had ever seen.
"I don't want to leave again."
Pan's eyes fluttered in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Trunks sighed. "I don't want to go back to college and leave you again."
Pan swallowed hard. "But what about-"
"I don't care about any of that. I care about you!" Trunks said putting his hand on her cheek.
Pan shook her head. "I don't understand."
Trunks smiled and moved his hand up her back to the back of her neck. "I need-"
"Hey Trunks! You ready to go?" Goten called from downstairs.
Trunks sighed. "You'll have to finish this conversation some other time, but I guess we do have the whole summer." Trunks said sliding her off him. "I'll be over early tomorrow." He said leaving the room and going downstairs.
Pan sat up with a blank look on her. "You need what?!?"
