CHAPTER 1: SECRETS
Pan yawned and fluttered her eyes open she smelled breakfast downstairs. She got up quickly at the thought of food and ran downstairs, not bothering to brush her hair.
"Morning Sweetie," Videl told her daughter.
"Yeah, hi," her uncle said, his mouth full of pancakes and sausage.
"Morning Mom, Dad, Goten," she said giving her mom and dad a peck on the cheek and her uncle a great big hug.
She stuffed her face with food. She then hurried back upstairs and dressed for school.
"Hurry it up, PAN!" Goten shouted from downstairs.
"Hold your horses!" Pan hollered, put on her shoes, and ran downstairs.
"I'm leaving w/out you!" Goten shouted, glancing at his watch, he might be late for work.
"Okay, let's go! Hurry up!!" Pan shouted.
"OH! Now you're telling ME to hurry up! Pan, sometimes I worry about you!" Goten told her as he revved up the car.
"Okay, bye Goten!" Pan told her uncle as they came to the school. "Have fun at work!"
"Yeah right," Goten said. Pan laughed and headed towards her school gates. It was a boring school day as usual. Pan soon found herself taking her usual route home when she came across the woods.
'Might be fun,' she thought to herself and ran into the woods. She opened her eyes in awe at the wonders of Mother Narture. She ran across the flowers and trees when she came to a wooden fence about 6 inches taller than her. She climbed the fence to see what was over it and saw Capsule Corps. She decided to pay her old friends a visit. She climbed over the fence and headed towards the screen door. She said, "Hallloooooo," and heard a door open and shut.
A tall figure stood before her and said, "Hi Pan!" He was only wrapped in a towel. Pan turned her head and blushed.
"Hi Trunks," she said, looking at the floor.
"Oh sorry, I just came out of the shower" he said, laughing.
"I can see that," Pan laughed too.
"Well, won't you come in while I go get dressed up," he told her, moving out of her way.
"Sure, but can I use your phone?" she asked him.
"Yeah, go right on ahead," he said and Pan went to the phone to call her mom.
"Mom? I'm at Trunks' house. I'll come home before dinner" Pause "Yeah, I'll do my homework here," Another pause."MOM!!! I won't do that! Yeah okae, buh bye! Luv yah!" And Pan hung up the phone.
Pan got out her homework and started doing it. She was now on her Math homework and she came across an ugly problem and couldn't get it.
"Trunks, could you be a sweetie and help meeh with this problem?" Pan asked him sweetly.
"Sure," he answered, walking towards her. He taught her both ways of doing the problem and told her to figure out which way was easier for her. She thanked him and finished quickly.
"Okay, so what do you have to do around here? Haven't been here in quite awhile!"
"I challenge you, PAN!"
"To what?"
"To a Playstation football game!"Pan laughed.
"I accept!" they ran to the Playstation and played to win. The game was over.
Trunks jumped up and shouted, "Oh no! I can't believe I lost! To a gurl!!"
"Believe it Trunks-kun! Besides it was only a game!!" Pan laughed and threw he controller at him.
"OW!!" he said. Pan only laughed. She knew Trunks was strong enough to take that. She glanced at the clock.
"Oh my gosh, Trunks-kun! I gotta go! It's almost dinner time! Sorry!" with that Pan grabbed her stuff and left.
"Pan, wait!!!" Trunks shouted. "You forgot your....", but it was too late, Pan had already gone.
Pan got home and heard her mom fixing the dinner table. She went upstairs to change put of her school uniform and into more comfortable clothes. She went downstairs and sat in her chair.
"Did you finish your homework?" Gohan asked her.
"Yeah, of course!" Pan said, "What's for dinner?"
"Steak," she heard her mom say. As soon as Pan and her father saw Videl sit down, they began eating. Pan finished and went upstairs to write in her diary about the day she spent with on of her best, and not to mention cutest, friend. When she got upstairs she couldn't find her diary! 'Oh no' she groaned. 'I must have left it at Trunks-kun's house! She put on her jacket and was about to fly out her window when she heard the doorbell.
"Pan, sweetie? Can you get that?" Videel asked from downstairs. Pan mumbled something under her breath and went to get it. She opened the door to see Trunks there, with a little booklet in his hand.
"My diary!!" Pan shouted and snatched it from his hands.
"Yepp!" he said. Then Pan gave him a suspicious look.
"You didn't look in it did you?" she said. Her heart raced.
"No! I'm not like that!" Trunks said.
"OK. Thanks again Trunks-kun!" she told him and he flew off. 'What if he's not telling the truth?' she thought to herself. Her stomach went in a roller coaster at the thought.'What if he found out I like him?"
