Right place,right time.

*……...*=thought



~~*2:Reunion *~~

A now 32 year old Trunks tapped his fingers on the desk impatiently,he was going to be free for a whole 24 hours in only ten minutes.

Such a pity the last ten minutes until his freedom was being spent in a boardmeeting.

He sighed heavily.Bulma turned around from her flowchart at the head of the table.She glared at her son.

"Yes Trunks,is there anything you wish to say?"she asked sweetly.All the middle-aged men sitting along the table turned to him.

"No Mo-Chairwoman Bulma"he said tiredly.

"Good"she answered,then turned back to her chart. "Now,as you'll all note,Capsule Corporation has suffered several financial pitfalls since last June….."His mother's voice just seemed to drone on and on.And Trunks had figured out long ago the best way to stay sane around his mother was to simply nod and agree with everything.That way,he didn't actually have to listen to her.Apparently-Vegeta knew that technique as well.

He almost jumped for joy as his mother announced the meeting was over.When he was within freedom's grasp,his mother curled her deadly fingers around him and pulled him back down to hell.

"Trunks,honey,stay here a minute,you can come home with me."she said.Trunks winced.

"Mother,please.I was going to go out on the town with Goten tonight….please just let me go and have fun.Just one night without paperwork,mom!PLEASE!?"he pleaded.Bulma chuckled at her son,his glasses sliding down his nose.

"No,Trunks.You are coming home with me for another reason.Don't tell me you've forgotten what the date is already?"Trunks looked up at a calendar slapped up against the wall.

"May twenty-second….and?"he asked,slightly confused.Bulma rolled her eyes.Sure,her son was intelligent-but he had the memory space of Goku.

"Honey,Pan's coming back."she said softly.Trunks eyes widened in shock.

"Holy crap."he said flatly. "May twenty-second,how the hell could I have forgotten!?Videl must have drilled that date into the back of my mind a million times in the past month!I….I don't believe,she's gonna be back for good."

Bulma couldn't be sure whether her son was happy or slightly disappointed.Her eyebrows furrowed together.

"I don't know what happened between you two four years ago Trunks.But I think you should fix it."

Trunks nodded slowly.She had been back about six times in the past four years,and he had only seen her once.And even then he hadn't spoken to her.They both always made up excuses to be busy or just plain avoided each other.Trunks was still confused about what she had told him that fateful day,almost four years ago,and he couldn't find any words.He wasn't just confused about her confession of love for him,but also about what had happened to him when she left.It was almost as if a part of him had left along with her.There was no more playing hookie and flying out of the window,as there was now no-one to rescue him from his daily confine.Goten was always too busy with girls to come and take pity on his so-called 'best friend'.In Goten's world-it was food and women-they came first.Trunks didn't really have any other friends-not close ones anyway,so there was never anyone there to play superhero and save him from the evil monster otherwise known as his mother.

There was now no-one around to convince to train once in a while,either.Vegeta didn't spar-he just beat the crap out of him whenever he felt like letting off a little steam.At least with Pan he didn't come out of it in a coma

He also wasn't as happy as he used to be-that part was obvious.To everybody.But not everybody noticed that his social-life plunged into nothingness around the time Pan left.Only the all knowing Bulma had figured that one out.

"Trunks,what did happen?I know Goku's death had a great toll on all of us…" she sniffled, remembering old times "But you two had such a strong friendship,even though you were twice her age,

I don't think that friendship would've died over Goku.Something else happened that caused her to leave-didn't it?Something between the two of you…."

"Mom,please just leave it alone"he said glumly.She nodded,guessing that if this problem got big enough he'd come to her.

"Okay,sweetie.But please try to patch things up."she said softly. "You can't avoid her forever.And to be honest,this was why I decided to give you a whole day off.I hate it when such close friends fight like that."Trunks smirked and began to walk out to his mother's aircar.

"But you and Dad fight all the time,Mom."he said,walking around to the drivers side.With amazing speed she thwacked him on the head and proceeded to push him away from the drivers side.

"No Trunks,you suck at driving"she said sternley,then returned to their conversation as she jumped in

"Yes,we do fight .But we're 'special friends'"she giggled.Trunks merely rolled his eyes.

Parents can be so lame.Even when you are a thirty two year old company president.

~~*****~~*****~~*****~~*****~~

Pan looked out of the huge jet's window as they neared the airport.

"I'm home…."she whispered,a twinge of fear in her voice. "And now I'm going to have to face Trunks whether I want to or not" She sighed.*Oh well,Pan,you knew you'd have to see him one time or another.Even though I was in Slansak on the other goddamn side of the world I was thinking about him.I bet he doesn't even want to see me.He probably still thinks of me as a little brat.I can't believe what I said to him!I was such an idiot then.But now,I've wised up-no man is ever gonna break my heart like he did…..Never.And I refuse to fall for him again,I just have to stay strong and resist him and his charms.But I want so badly that friendship we used to have!Crap,I'm so goddamn confused!*

She was snapped out of her thoughts when a voice came over the intercom.

"Please fasten your seatbelts,we are preparing to land"the captains voice said calmly.Pan snapped on her belt and began to breath deeply.

*Just breath,you can do this,it's home Pan!Inhale….exhale….inhale*

"Thank you for flying Capsule Corporation airways-we hope to see you again"

The plane stopped and Pan stood up,grabbing her hand luggage and walked off the plane.As soon as she came out of the plane she saw a huge sign saying 'PAN-CHAN' in bright red letters.

Son Goten was jumping up and down in excitement.A bemused Piccolo stood next to him,trying to ignore the stares from all the humans around him.

"PAN!PANNY!!Where are YOUUU!?"Goten called,almost looking straight at her.Piccolo sighed and punched Goten lightly on the shoulder.

"She's over there you baka"he said,pointing at her.Pan smiled and waved at her Uncle-who still didn't seem to realise who she was.

"Where?Piccolo you liar!It's nothing to be joking about!This is serious- Gohan is gonna kick my ass if I don't get her home safely!She's only eighteen!"Goten cried.Pan sweatdropped and walked right up to her Uncle and hugged him.Goten smiled.

"Wow,women aren't usually this forward with me!"he said.Piccolo couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Goten could be so stupid.Pan frowned.

"Uncle,I'm sorry but I'm not really in on the whole incest thing"she said.Goten looked down at her quizically.

"Huh?" Suddenly understanding dawned on him like he was zapped by a lightning bolt.But it would take a lightning bolt to get through his thick skull sometimes.Goten was a nice guy,but he was too much like Goku.Like father,like Son. "PAN!Ohmigod you've grown so much!"he hugged his niece tightly. "I can't believe your back for good now!Finally Trunks won't be so dull and all.I think he missed having you around.Hey!We all missed having you around!Right Piccolo?"

Piccolo nodded slightly.

"Yes,I guess everyone has."he said.Pan hugged Piccolo too.

"Awww….Piccolo"she teased "I missed your big green pointy ears too!"Piccolo blushed and tried to pry her off of him. *Too many Son's around here*he thought.

"Come on,let's go!"Goten said excitedly,dragging them both out.Pan turned to Piccolo again.

"So why are you here anyway?I know you didn't come down here with Goten cause you were bored."

Piccolo smirked a little.She was truly her fathers daughter.

"I came as a favour to Gohan.He wasn't sure if he could trust Goten coming by himself,he thought he might get sidetracked….."They looked up to see Goten drooling over some bimbo in a short skirt.

"HelLO!"he said.The girl turned and smiled airily at him.

"Hi!Oh wowee your so cute!"she said,latching onto his arm.Pan smirked and walked up to her Uncle.

She leant up and kissed his cheek,then turned to the girl.

"Get your own girlfriend,cause this fine hunk 'o' man is all mine"she said.The girl's eyes filled with tears,and she turned to Goten.

"I thought we were lovers!"she cried,before running off.Goten's jaw dropped open and he turned to look at his niece.

"PAN!What did you do that for!?She was hot!"he whined.Pan laughed at her Uncle.

"Sorry,but that was too easy Uncle Ten.I just could not resist it."Goten stuck out his lower-lip in much the same way he used to when he was a kid.Pan laughed harder.Piccolo grunted and walked out of the airport,thw two demi-saiyajin following.

~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~

Pan,Goten and Piccolo blasted down at the Brief's mansion.

Goten was the one to bound up and ring the doorbell.To their surprise,Vegeta opened it.

"Oh,it's you"he grunted. "I thought it might be some more bastard reporters returning for an ass-whooping" Goten gasped and covered Pan's ears .

"Vegeta!She's only a kid!Ssssh!"he ordered.Vegeta rolled his eyes at the comment and walked off,muttering something about third class spawns of Kakkarot.

As soon as they walked in,Pan was swarmed by hordes of females and her father.Unfortunately-Goten and Piccolo were caught in the attack too.

Piccolo was lucky enough to escape.But alas,young Son Goten was not so lucky.

Although,he didn't seem to mind,because Bra and Marron were pushed up on either side of him.

Piccolo clawed at the ground,heaving himself out of the mass of squealing.When he got out,he was gasping for breath.He leaned up against a wall,scowling.

"Women are evil"he said quietly.He heard Vegeta sniggering a little way down the wall,almost in the same pose as him.

"And it took you that long to figure it out,Namek?I always thought that stupidly large turban was meant to be covering something.Maybe it's just vacant space under there" Piccolo growled and chose to ignore the Prince of the Saiyajin race.

Videl crushed her daughter toward her.

"Oh Panny!Your finally home!"she cried..Pan smiled down at her mother,who was now about three inches shorter than her.

"Yup,and now I can finally show my abilities instead of walking around pretending to be normal.I'm just itching for a good spar!"All the women sweatdropped,apart from Videl and Eighteen-who knew the feeling all too well.Well-they used to know the feeling.

"Pan-Chan I've missed you so much" Gohan gushed,pushing his way through the women to his daughter.Tears were already forming in his eyes.Pan hugged her father tightly.

"I've missed you too,Daddy."she said softly.She was then hugged by Chi- Chi,Gyuu Mayou,Grandpa Satan and even Eighteen.Then she came to Marron and Bra-who were smiling broadly at her.Bra pulled out a camcorder from behind her back.She shot a full-view of Pan who poked out her tongue.

"Girl,if you didn't do that,you could've so pulled off the model-thing!You are looking hot Pan!"Bra squealed. "Marron,am I right or am I right?"

"Your right,Bra-chan.What did Slansak do to ya Pan!?Now the guys around here are gonna be drooling all over you!" Pan blushed and looked down at the floor.

"Please,guys.This is only a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.It is exactly what I used to wear."Pan said pointedly.

"Maybe so,but now you have curves" Roshi said,smiling evilly at her.Pan shuddered and moved away from him.She walked over and sat between Yamcha and Krillin.

"Hey old-men,hows life treating you?"she teased.Krillin coughed and patted her on the shoulder.

"Not good Pan,I had a heart attack.I only have three months to live"he wheezed.Yamcha grinned at him behind her back.Pan's classic Son grin dropped.

"O-oh my Dende! Krillin!I d-didn't know,I'm so sorry"she said.Suddenly,Yamcha and Krillin burst into laughter.

"Typical Son!"Yamcha cried "Believe's anything you tell 'em!"Pan scowled at him and he suddenly stopped laughing. "Eep." Pan started growling and moved closer to him,making him move farther along the couch.She advanced upon him until he came to the edge.She lightly placed a hand on his shoulder and pushed. Yamcha toppled backwards over the couch.

The party stopped.Soon,everyone was in fits of laughter.Pan smiled down at Yamcha.

"Don't mess with a Son,Yamcha."she said.Yamcha was too busy seeing stars to notice.

Suddenly the door swung upon and a disgusted looking Trunks walked in.Behind him,Bulma was giggling helplessly.

"Come on honey!It's the facts of life!"she cried.Bulma turned and saw Pan smiling at her.Bulma rushed over to her and enclosed her in a hug. "Oh Pan- Chan,it's so great to finally have you home again!"she moaned.

"It's good to be home" Pan replied.Bulma kissed her cheek and then dragged a protesting Trunks up to her.

"Mom!Don't drag me ar-no!Mom!let me do this in my—"Bulma practically threw Trunks onto Pan.

Once again,the party stopped .

"Wow,she sure knows how to catch a crowds attention"Krillin commented.Bulma glared at him before turning back to the two confused and shocked 'adults'.

Pan and Trunks just stood staring at each other for a long time,before Trunks broke the ice.He cleared his throat.

"Hey Pan"he said gruffly,feeling nervous with everyone watching them.

"Hi.Long time no see boxer boy"she answered.Trunks smiled in relief and bent down to hug her.Then he realised he didn't actually have to bend anymore.

"How the hell did you get so tall!?"he cried.Pan jumped forward and hugged him,almost knocking him down.

"It's a little thing called maturing,Trunks,you should try it some time"she remarked.Trunks smirked as he heard the party slowly regaining it's volume.

"Way to get the attention off us"he said quietly.Pan nodded and smiled the patented Son smile.For some reason unbeknownst to him,he felt his head spin as she smiled up at him.

"I'm sorry Trunks.I'm sorry for being such a coward"she whispered onto his shoulder.Trunks shook his head.

"No,I'm sorry.I just didn't know what to say.you were fourteen Pan…."

Pan waved her hand in the air.

"Don't make me remember it" she demanded,forcing a smile.Trunks nodded.

"Okay,I won't.So…..do you think our friendship can go back to the way it was before you left Panny?"

"It had better,cause I don't think I'd survive with just Bra and Marron all the time.I swear I'd go crazy."she said,laughing a little.Trunks smirked.

"Yes Ma'am."he said.Pan smiled up at him again,before going to find the table.The food was a callin'

Trunks stood there for a while,pondering on what the hell he had just felt.

*Shit,Trunks.What in Dendes name just happened there?Oh no,boxer boy.If your getting excited by Pan,you really need to get out more.*He walked after her.



Ahhhh….so Trunks has feelings for Pan?Well of course he does-this is a Trunks and Pan fic.Anyway-please be reviewing 'dis here fing,so I can get some ideas!!
