Growing a Dieing Rose
By Katie
It takes time to grow a rose
Pan flew above the large forest. She didn't see around her for her eyes were glazed over with tears. She couldn't stand the pain that was shooting through her. Why? She glared around her through the wavy glass of tears and stared down. She felt her energy fail her and she tumbled down to the ground. Using all of her energy she clumsily landed on her feet.
You need to find the right place
She through herself onto the ground and finally broke down in tears that wracked her body. She tried to control herself but found that nothing could stop it. She tried to think about it, why she was crying, why she was caring, why she could care so much. But she just couldn't think about anything but him.
A place where the light is right
It was growing dark. She didn't care. All she cared about was how much he was hurting her.
"Pan-chan? Pan-chan where are you?" she heard the cries of her uncle but ignored them. She rolled herself into a grove of thick pines and continued her sobbing. She suppressed her ki enough for Goten not to notice.
"Pan-chan? Come on now? What's wrong?" Trunks called. "Pan-chan where are you?"
A place where there is fuel to live on
"Pan-chan! Come on I know you're here somewhere! I could sense your ki a minute ago!" Goten cried.
"Come off it Pan! We don't want to have to search for you all day! I have things to do!"
Her heart snapped. Things to do, ya, like what? Making out with the stupid dumb blonde you brought over for Uncle Goten and I to meet?
A place where there is room for it to grow
I stretched out in the grass and covered my face. Then swiftly in fear that Goten and Trunks might see her newly stretched out self, she pulled her knees in close to her and held them tightly in the tuck position. She let her head fall onto her hands as she leaned over onto her left side. What would happen to her?
Then dig the seed a place to rest
Pan dug herself into the ground as she wept, trying to hide herself from the world around her.
'I can not face the world, no more, no more…'
Place the seed to rest and cover it carefully
Pan pulled her sweeter over her quivering body. It was dreadfully cold and just what she need, to die of heartbreak and the cold. It was all because of him. He was the reason she was crying, he was the reason the world was breaking down, he was the reason why she was dieing.
Then it needs a good soaking to grow
Clouds slowly pulled in, not the white fluffy kind, but the kind that leads to thunder, lightning and rain.
With a violent lightning bolt and a crash of thunder the rain came. It soaked her to the bone, leaving her more of a wreck than she was before.
Then you need to give it time
Thunder crashed above her. It didn't bother her. It didn't matter. It didn't matter if that thunderstorm was happening, it didn't matter if lightning struck all around her, it didn't matter that she was getting socked. It didn't matter until she heard the last crash of thunder she would ever hear.
Make sure you do not bother the seed
Lightning crashed beside her and hit a near by tree. Pan gazed up lazily at the cracked tree as it fell. Her eye grew wide and she let out a scream as it fell upon her.
Or it shall not grow
Trunks and Goten glared at each other quickly and dove towards the scream. There lay a small, still body bathed in tears and rain. The body lay still, unfazed by what was going on around it. *It*. *It* really wasn't an *it*. *It* is a girl. Or is *it* now?
Trunks threw himself forwards, Goten not far behind him. Tears streamed down his face.
"Pan-chan…no…" he slugged forwards as if drunk, drunk on the tears falling from his eyes over his face to his mouth. "Pan…Chibi Son…"
If disturbed it shall never grow again
Trunks sat beside Pan's hospital bed. A coma. A coma. It's only a coma. She'd survived comas before, she *could* do it again. She *had* to do it again.
"Oh please Pan, please…wake up…"
Pan awoke a few hours later to find Trunks asleep, his head on his arms, resting on her bed. He was kneeling on the ground asleep as she found him.
"Why am I in the hospital and why are *you* here?" she barked.
Trunks looked up at her sleepily.
"You were hit by a tree while you were outside in the storm yesterday." He said looking into her sad, hurting eyes.
"Why are *you* here?" she asked again trying to sound harsh, but failing miserably. She only sounded like a child whom lost their best friend.
"First let me ask you something Pan-chan."
"What?" she barked out harshly as a fit of pain began deep inside her chest and up her upper spine.
"Why were you out there crying?"
"None of your business."
"Why?" Pan looked up dazed at him.
"Think Trunks, think very hard if you're capable of it."
"All I know Pan is that I went to see you and Goten with my new girlfriend and you ran off. Why?"
Pan tried to sit up but found that she couldn't. She couldn't feel anything below her lower end of her spine.
"My backs broken."
"I know."
Pan looked up teary eyed and found that she was beginning to break down again. But not because of the pain she felt all over, but because of the pain in her heart.
"I'm going to die." She said slowly. "Aren't I?"
Trunks stood and sat back down on a chair. He held her hand tightly and looked into her teary eyes.
"Don't say that." He smiled weakly. "The doctors say your going to be fine."
She felt a fit of pain come over her and she squeezed his hand tightly.
"Pan are you okay?" he asked.
"Ya, it just kinda hurts a bit. I heard it happens to people with broken backs, they have fits of pain every once in a while."
"Pan…you'll be fine…" he said slowly trying to calm her down for he saw her in the verge of tears.
"You lair. I can see it in your eyes. I'm dieing and you know it." She stared up into his eyes that told the truth by his sadness in them.
It was true. The doctors had told him when they had scene how bad a condition she was in. They had known along with him that she would die.
Pan felt herself grown weaker and even more tired. Her body grew weak and she stared up in his eyes.
"Trunks…I have to…I have to tell you…tell you something…" she breathed deeply. "I know I wont ever have the chance again to say it."
"Pan don't talk like that…"
"Tell my dad and mom and the rest of my family I love them. Tell my friends that I love them as well and along with my family I shall never forget them. Tell your mother to stay the way she is and not worry about looking old. She is beautiful." She smiled weakly. "Tell your dad to listen to you and Bra sometimes. He might learn something from you two as I have." She smiled longingly up at him.
"Is there anything you want me to tell to anyone else?" he asked firmly as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Tell yourself that you could have, even though you didn't want it, had me, Son Pan. I love your Briefs Trunks and nothing will ever change that." She smiled again weakly and listened intently to the last words she would ever hear.
"I love…" Trunks spoke sadly. But he was interrupted by the hand that rested in his falling limp and Pan's head sinking into the pillows. "…you too." I spoke softly to ears that couldn't hear him.
It will die
The End
How was that everyone? I kinda liked it. Tell me what ya think. R/R please!!!!
