2. The Training Room
The next day, as promised, Pan showed up at Trunks' window in her high school uniform again.
"Hey! Are you ready to get your butt kicked?" she smiled.
"As if. Just give me one second." Trunks went over to his desk and pushed the intercom button. "Trudy?"
"Yes, Mr. Brief," the voice responded.
"Tell everyone I'm stepping out a little early today. And move those meetings next week to the early morning, would you?" he said as he loosened his tie.
"Of course, Mr. Brief. Have a good evening."
Pan was in slight awe. She had never seen the business side of Trunks before. "Wow.. Being the boss of Capsule Corp must be tough."
"Not really. Since I'm the boss everyone has to do what I say, and I only do what I must. If there's too much work I'll get someone else to do it for me. Most of the time it's really boring, actually. I'd rather be training," he said as he lifted into the window.
Pan was already floating in the sky. "Ok, well then let's go!" she said eagerly.
They made the short flight down from the corporate office building to Trunks' house. On the side of the house were the hyper gravity training pods.
"Wow! I've never trained in one of these before!" Pan exclaimed.
"Pan!" Bra's voice shouted from afar. She ran through the yard waving.
"Bra! Hey, long time no see!" Pan smiled as she hugged her.
"Yeah, well whose fault is that?" Bra knocked on her head.
Pan laughed. "Sorry, Mom's just got me really focused on my studies right now."
"Oh really?" She eyed Trunks suspiciously, which Trunks gave her a confused look in response. "So, I hear you're training with my big brother today."
"Yep! Cool, huh?" Pan said excitedly.
"I guess. Come on, I'll show you where the changing room is," Bra said, leading Pan away.
"Ok! I'll see you inside the pods, Trunks!" Pan said as the two girls disappeared.
"What was that about?" Trunks asked himself, but then shrugged. Girls will be girls, he guessed.
In the changing room, Bra showed Pan where everything was and how to turn on the showers. Pan began undressing when Bra sat on the bench across from her. "So? You and Trunks, huh?" she asked with a smirk.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Pan asked, surprised.
"Oh, spill. What is going on with you two? You haven't even called me in forever and then you suddenly go visit him?"
"Hey! We're just friends, that's it. I mean, we travelled through space together for months! I just wanted to see him again, that's all."
"Oh-ho? Well then, do you have a boyfriend now at your new school?" Bra smirked again. She was getting all the juicy details she could.
"What? No!"
"Really? Have you even tried, Pan?"
"Well, a few guys asked me out… But they're not very interesting to me and I don't like to always have to hide my strength around them… One time I slipped and didn't realize it, I lifted up something I forgot was heavy and the guy just ran away screaming…"
Bra frowned. "I'm sorry Pan. I couldn't imagine what it's like for you. But hey, my brother understand you, right?" She smiled and patted her shoulder.
Pan smiled then. "Yeah… That's why I decided to go talk to him. To feel normal around someone other than my family. Sorry for ignoring you, Bra."
Bra smirked yet again. "Ah ha.. So you ARE interested in Trunks?"
"What? No! Are you crazy?! Get out of here, I'm getting ready to train!" Pan exclaimed, blushing deep.
Bra laughed. "Ok, whatever you say. I'm cooking dinner tonight, so after your training make sure to stay over, alright? Bye!" she said as she walked out the door.
"Ugh, that Bra!" Pan shook it off as she continued to get dressed.
Inside the training capsule, Trunks was already changed and warming up. The gravity was still set to normal for Pan. "Trunks?" Pan's voice called from around the corner.
"Over here, Pan!" Trunks replied, sitting on the ground stretching his legs.
Pan rounded the corner and peeked through the doorway before revealing herself. She was wearing red tennis shoes, black yoga shorts and a red sports bra with thin straps, leaving her slim waist exposed. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun, and her sports bra was doing a great job pushing up her breasts as her cleavage was clearly visible. The tight shorts revealed all her womanly curves that were beyond what Trunks had imagined. She blushed, knowing she had never revealed so much to a boy outside her family. But Trunks wasn't a boy, he was an adult, almost a brother figure to her but not, and she didn't know how to feel about it, especially with Bra filling her head with weird thoughts so suddenly.
Trunks was shocked beyond words as he stared wide eyed and blushed furiously at the beautiful woman in front of him. Neither knew what to say, but suddenly Trunks cleared his throat and got up to fidget with the control panel. "Um, well, let's get started shall we?"
"Ok." Pan nodded and walked into the chamber and began stretching.
Trunks just continued to mess with the controls, not really changing anything but trying to distract himself from looking at her. It was weird right? That's his best friend's niece! He'd known her since she was born but never thought of her this way. Trying to push any gross thoughts away he looked up after a few minutes. "Ok, are you done warming up now?"
Pan was twisting her torso, finally she had gotten more at ease after stretching. "Yep, I'm ready!"
"Alright." Trunks set the controls to increase the gravity gradually, and then walked over to join her. "So the gravity indicator number is over there. Right now it's at zero, and it's set to gradually increase, so when it does you'll start to feel it. If it ever gets too high it's voice activated, so you can tell it to change or go back to zero at any time, alright?"
Pan nodded. "Sounds simple enough. So, you wanna spar?" Pan asked with a smirk, getting into position.
Trunks smirked back. "Ok, but I won't go easy on you," he said, also getting into position, finally loosening up. This is what he had been looking forward to. Another sparring partner besides his dad, who usually beat him to a pulp.
"Didn't expect you to!" Pan said, racing towards him with a punch. And they were off, throwing punches and kicks back and forth at lightning speed. The gravity indicator number slowly started increasing.
"Woah! I can start to feel it now!" Pan said, smirking at this new challenge. She hadn't been able to push herself in so long. Usually it was the opposite, and she was tired of restraining her power. She was a true Saiyan and she loved to fight and become stronger.
The battle raged on as the number ticked higher and higher. After blocking Trunks' kick, they recoiled from each other and stood there, panting. Sweat was dripping off of both of them, so Trunks quickly pulled his shirt off, revealing his incredible upper body. Pan's eyes widened for just a moment but quickly went back to position, trying to push the thoughts from her head. But Trunks couldn't help but notice the sweat that travelled over the mounds of her cleavage. He blushed, and for just a second was caught off guard as Pan took the chance and kicked him right into the wall. Pan laughed, just as Trunks wiped the blood from his chin and grumbled, "Very funny.."
When Pan calmed down from laughing, she smiled. "That was awesome! But I'm getting hungry. Shall we call it a day?"
Trunks' stomach growled in response, and they both laughed again. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Return to normal gravity!" he commanded, and the numbers on the indicator quickly reduced until it was back at zero.
Pan stretched, glad to be feeling lighter again, and walked towards the exit. "That was fun, we should do this more often!"
Trunks gave her a towel and pulled one out for himself. "Yeah," he said as he watched her rub her face with the towel, and smiled.
"I'm gonna take a shower before dinner, ok? And I think you should too," she joked, holding her nose.
Trunks chucked. "Right. I'll see you at dinner," he said as they parted ways to their separate showers. When he got in, he quickly undressed and turned on the hot water. He raised his head and closed his eyes, getting lost in the steam. But instead of relaxing, all he saw behind his closed eyes were images of Pan. He'd have to be an idiot to try to tell himself he wasn't attracted to her body, so instead of pushing the thoughts away he just accepted it. Nothing could come out of those feelings, anyway. Like he said, she was his best friend's niece. He was practically her older brother. Dream on, right? So what if she had an amazing personality and was someone who he could be himself around? Oh well.
After he was done, he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed out, but to his surprise, he ran into Pan, who had also just came out of the shower, and was wrapped in a towel as well, with her long black hair dripping wet over her shoulders. "Oh! Trunks, I'm sorry, I got a little lost," she said, flustered.
Trunks also blushed furiously. "N-no! That's ok! Your stuff is right over there.." he pointed, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh! Right, sorry.. See you at dinner then!" Pan said as she hurried away.
Trunks breathed in deep and sighed when she was gone, still blushing. She was truly beautiful, and by this point he was getting too aroused, so he once again tried pushing the thoughts of her from his mind as he hurried to get ready for dinner.
The night went on normally from then on, and Pan enjoyed a lovely dinner and catching up with Trunks and his family. When it was time to leave, Pan said her goodbyes and waved as she flew off into the night sky. When she was out of sight and when Vegeta and Bulma went inside, Bra elbowed her brother. "Hey, what was that for?"
She snickered. "Don't be silly. You are totally in love with Pan!"
Trunks blushed hard. "What?! Where do you get that from?!"
"Come on, I know you. I see the way you look at her. What did you do in that training pod, anyway?" she smirked.
"Excuse me, but we trained! That's it! End of story!" Trunks yelled and then stormed inside, leaving the laughing Bra behind.
