Pan's POV:
Mornings sucked so much. I hated waking up so early, but that's what my job required. I also hated living alone. If I had a roommate, I would make sure she was neat, so she could clean up after me, I had huge problems with being neat. I worked as a journalist to Tokyo Times. Every morning, I'd wake up at the break of dawn, rush to work, meet deadlines, and deal with bitchy coworkers and a jackass of a boss. That was the life I chose. I hated it so much, but once I started writing… Well, I was hoping one day to start writing articles in magazines, then move up to an author, but right now, I was just fresh meat to the world of journalists. My work hasn't been published yet, and all the veterans tell me when my work does get published, critics will tear it apart. But I can handle anything the dish out at me, I'm Pan Son. And I was in love.
It was simple, unrequited love, as always though. And of course, he was aware of my feelings, but not to the full extent, but all the better to me. I'd be absolutely horrified if he knew how I felt. I'm glad he didn't, he was in a relationship with someone else. It was some man at my work. He was gorgeous, he was my partner in crime; I told him almost everything. He was my best friend. And I never had to tell him how I felt, he asked me if I liked him. I remember that day vividly.
*Flashback*
Pan and Michael walked out the movie theatres, laughing at each other's faces.
"I can't believe you dumped that popcorn on my head! You ass!" Pan exclaimed.
"You deserved it, bitch, you poured coke down my shirt," he replied good-naturedly.
That was how they were around each other; simple harmless flirting, and Pan felt there was something more, there must be. She sighed and rested her head, which still had popcorn in it, on his shoulder, grabbed his arm and sighed.
"That was fun, Mike, we need to do this again sometime. You looked so cute when coke was on your head," she teased.
His face got a bit serious, and he stopped walking. Pan looked up in confusion, sort of wary of what he was going to say.
"Pan, we've become real good friends since this past year, you're my best friend now," he began. "But, I have a feeling you like me more than you're letting on to. I just want to know if you do, I don't want to lead you on, I haven't gotten around to tell you, but I have a girlfriend, Beatrice."
Pan stammered, face red, and feeling like a fool. Beatrice… That was the mail carrier chick at our work… Great, it wasn't even that she picked over someone who had more prestige, it was just some random blonde mail carrier slut. "I, I don't like you, Mike, haha, good one!"
They both knew she was full of shit.
*End of Flashback*
I was a huge idiot supreme major. I got of my bed and took a nice, cold shower to wake me up. After brushing my teeth, I put on a dress-to-impress suit. I always wore those, now. But, you know, for some reason Beatrice was more sexier than my killer legs. I thought only men looked good in uniforms, but I guess some females are manly enough to look decent. Jealousy was definitely not my strong point.
What really sucked about my job is that, is that it was so far out of the way; I had to take the city bus. I definitely did not have the funds to afford a car. What I wouldn't do to have a nice midnight blue SC 430 with tan leather seats. My dream car. I could see Mike and I driving away in the sunset, not a care in a world… Okay, so I know it's supposed to be the guy with a horse, and me on the back, riding away to a blissful oblivion, but there are modern times now! I grabbed the apartment keys, slipped on my heels, and ran to catch the Lynx bus.
~*~*~*~
Stop that, you evil slut, you, stop! I angrily thought as I watched Beatrice and Mike flirt. Instead of doing her job and delivering mail, she was too busy seducing Mike. I met her once, and that was good enough. We didn't hit off well at all. Well it was partly my fault, I was rather rude, but she didn't know me well enough to hate me! I hate to admit, but she was rather pretty. That was the first step to acceptance. You have to acknowledge your competition, never underestimate them. That's one of those rules I've learned in sparring. Don't be half-assed or your ass will be kicked. Speaking of sparring, that was something I haven't done in six months. I missed it; the Saiyan in me could never be controlled.
"Pan Son, report to Mr. Cole's office," the secretary droned.
Mike actually stopped for a minute to give me the time of the day. "Ooo, Panny's in trouble, Panny's in trouble. I think Mr. Cole is going to give you a spanking," he teased. I could tell it was a dirty joke, he was full of 'em.
"Hmm, maybe if I'm a good girl, and give him a blow or two, I'll get promoted, what do you say?" I joked back. Beatrice gave me a scowl, as if she was disgusted by my crudeness. Oh well, fuck her.
I took the stairs to his office; I'm damn scared of elevators. I remember when I was 15, at Capsule Corp, the power shutdown, and the elevator almost crashed into the basement… And if it was a regular elevator, I wouldn't be afraid, but Bulma made damn sure they were Saiyan proof… I opened his door, and there, the balding jackass himself, sat there.
"Pan, I have an assignment for you," he said, cutting straight to the chase.
I sighed, expecting it to be some environmental bullshit, he seemed to like to torture me… sadist. "So what is it, chief?" I simply asked. An assignment was an assignment. On step closer to bringing me to my goal.
"Capsule Corp has expanded all the way to the U.S. and bought out Microsoft, as you've probably heard," he started, "They are having a party this Saturday, celebrating their success. Your job is to get the scoop on the deal, and come up with a story that will put Tokyo Times ahead of our rivals!" he finished. I almost expected him to start "muahaha"ing, but he just looked very scary… But waitaminute, Capsule Corp? Trunks was president. Trunks… haven't seen that cocky bastard in a while, damn I missed kicking his ass, eavesdropping on his phone conversations, being mean to his dates, reading his journal, wearing his clothes… a whole bunch of shit Bra and I used to do! And since we were good friends, this job would be a cinch. A huge smile spread on my face.
"Mr. Cole, I can handle this. You do not have to worry, this will be the best story ever!"
I ran out of his office, rush down the stairs, and luckily Mike was all to himself. I grabbed Mike by his hand and started dancing around, screaming "I'm gonna get promoted! I'm gonna get promoted!" Lucky for me, we were the only ones there, otherwise I would probably get in trouble.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what happened? You gave him a good fuck?" he teased. I loved how his eyes crinkled when he smiled.
"No, I get to cover the Capsule Corp expanding to America and taking over Microsoft!" I squealed. Mike's face frowned.
"So, you're going to have to talk to the purple teletubby?" he asked, referring to Trunks. I forgot that Mike and Trunks had some bad history together. Something about Trunks stealing Mike's girlfriend, and then Mike saying something to tabloids… It was so long ago. But I felt a surge of protectiveness, no one could call Trunks a fag, except me.
"Trunks is not gay, if you are implying that, and yes I am. Do you want to be my escort to the function? I don't want to go by myself. It's this Saturday! Come on, it'll be fun!" I badgered.
"I have a date with Beatrice."
The girlfriend… Bros before hos! Even though I'm not a bro, but I'm willing to bet Beatrice is a two-timing slut and a half. But that's okay. I shrugged and got back to work, I think I was going to make a visit to Capsule Corp, just for poops and giggles, and old times.
