Chapter 3
The Field Trip
It was Friday morning, the day of the class field trip. Pan was combing her hair and fixing her makeup she had become accustom to wearing it now. She was somewhat excited about going on this field trip since she knew Trunks was going to be there and she would not get bullied too bad. Of course Pan could beat the living hell out of those girls, but thats not how she was raised. She was at heart very sweet and very much like her father Gohan. She was able to be herself more around the Z gang. School was another story. Pan decided to wear a dress she had bought a few months ago with Bulla. Bulla had insisted on her purchasing the garment. It was a very pretty light blue. with a yellow ribbon around the waist. A flowing skirt and a tighter fitting top, It flattered Pan's small figure. She wore cute little tan flats, Pan was not about to try heals. She made her way to school and landed on her spot on the roof. She looks around not seeing Trunks, saddened she made her way to class. She opened the class room door to see the students all sitting waiting for the transport vehicles to take them to the galleria. Trunks was sitting at his desk, he made no eye contact as Pan walked in. Pan lowered her head and took her seat. Why was he going out of his way to ignore me? Pan knew the kiss had been awkward but did he have to act like this?
"OK Class lets line up and get ready to load the transports." He made his way to the front of the line. In no time the students were on the transport vehicle and on their way. Trunks sat at the front near the driver. Pan found a seat in the very back alone by herself. Shianne, had seated herself right behind Trunks. She was so obvious about her feelings, it was gross. Of course Trunks paid her no mind what so ever. The other girls got as close as possible as well. The guys had a different reaction to Trunks. They thought he was a show off, and they did not care for all of the girls to be so crazy over him. Pan fell into neither group, she just wanted to get the day over with. All of her previous excitement had diminished due to Trunks ignoring her. She gazed out the window as the pulled up to the galleria. It was just a mall really, but there was a museum exhibit there right now. That must have been why they were there. Some modern pop art exhibit, something about knowing their generations culture. The parked and started to unload, it was not long before they had reached the exhibit. "Oh come on Mr. Briefs. We are really going to ignore the rest of the mall…." Spoke up Shianna. He just glared at her without responding. He must really be in a bad mood today thought Pan. The students started to line up to get their tickets to the art show. Pan made her way by Trunks again he made sure not to make eye contact. Wow it's like I'm a plague thought Pan. The rest of the afternoon went pretty normally. Kids yawned and moved from one painting to another. The exhibit was quiet boring really, a lot of abstract painting that really were strange and seemed meaningless. "Mr. Briefs this trip blows…" Moaned Shianna. "Please be quiet and finish the tour." Trunks was getting more aggravated with Shianna as the trip went along. The other students were of the same mind as Shianna it was pretty lame. But its not like Trunks planned this trip he was being forced to see it too. Pan was walking along looking at the paintings when all of a sudden she felt her self falling forward. She hit the ground hard, someone had stuck their foot out and tripped her. She heard a deep laughter, it was not Shianna for once. It was a boy, Pan looked up to see Trent Masters. A jock type of guy, and one who just happened to be "seeing" Shianna. "Walk much lameo" Laughed Trent. "I walk fine when dumb jocks watch where they put their bulky feet" Pan surprised herself by saying anything at all back. "What did you say to be skeezoid!" Shouted Trent. "You heard me." Pan had, had enough of the bullying she just wanted to be left alone. Trent grabbed Pan up to her feet by her shirt and prepared to smack her. Trent was really not the kinda guy who was raised not to hit girls. Pan prepared to retaliate a counter attack but before she could Trent had dropped her and he had fallen to the ground in agony. Trunks had used his lighting fast reflects to hit Trent without anyone even seeing who hat hit him. Pan stood with her mouth hanging open. Had Trunks just hit a student? "Are you ok Pan?" Trunks asked as he put his hand out for her to get up. Pan took Trunks's hand, "Im fine I was about to whale on him" Pan smiled. "I know you could have. But you might have hurt him too bad. I restrained myself ." Trunks winked. Pan knew he had restrained himself other wise Trent would be dead. "Come on lets get this day over with." Trunks pulled Pan to her feet and continued the tour. So he has been just as miserable today? Pan wondered why. The trip finally ended and the students were loading back on the bus. Once they arrived back at Orange Star High they were released for the day. Pan gathered her belongings, she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see it was Trunks. "Wanna get some coffee or something?" He looked tired like he had not slept much. Pan nodded and gathered the rest of her stuff. Pan and Trunks snuck up to the rooftop where Trunks threw out a capsule hoover car. The two got inside and flew on to the coffee shop not far from the school. The two walked in and got their own personal favorite type of coffee. They took their seats, Trunks fumbled his sugar pack around. He looked nervous and sad but also like he needed to get stuff off of his mind. "Pan about the other day, the kiss…." He was cut off by Pan. "I know… It was just a kiss it did not mean anything to me… " Of course Pan was lying but she did not want to make things harder for Trunks. Trunks looked at Pan very seriously. "Really, Nothing at all?" He looked like he was hurt by the words. "Well yeah…." Could he see through her lies? Trunks looked down into his coffee. "Oh… I see. You must have a guy your own age somewhere you like huh." He trailed off his last words. He seemed saddened. Before Pan could answer the strange question Trunks spoke up again. "I mean your beautiful, Im sorry." He kept his gave in the coffee. Wait a second, was Trunks sad she said it meant nothing? "Trunks, I don't have a boyfriend or anyone." Pan reached out for Trunks's hand. "Honestly that kiss has been the only thing I can think about." Pan smiled at Trunks. "Really, me too. I know its wrong but I just want to kiss you more." Trunks looked like a little boy asking permission. "Im so sorry Pan I can't help it. I really did not want to take this teaching position because of you." Trunks looked away. "Honestly on our trip in space together I started having feelings for you. I just hated myself for them though." Trunks looked so ashamed it was hurting Pan to see him do this to himself. "Your so much younger than me. But everything about you makes me so happy and want to be with you. I know its so wrong and it can't be but…" Trunks trailed off. "Come with me." Pan said as she pulled Trunks out of the booth in the coffee shop. She pulled him out into the street and into a alley. "Fly with me Trunks, it always makes me feel better." Pan pulled Trunks into the air with her. He looked shocked but went along with her as they acceded into the sky and above the clouds. Pan kept a hold of Trunks's hand as she sped up and picked up her pace. They flew like this for a good 20 mins. Until she started defending pulling Trunks with her. They landed on a small island away from West City. "This is where I come to think sometimes" She said. "When I need to come scream where no one can hear me." She smiled. Trunks returned the smile. "Trunks I've loved you since I was eight. And that love only changed and grew from a friendship love, a crush of a little girl. Into something much deeper." She took hold of his hands. "I know its wrong too, but I feel the same Trunks." She smiled. "Pan, I don't want you to miss out on you're life. Your fifteen, you have so many people to meet and things to do." Trunks looked away. "Trunks, why do I have to meet so many other people if I've already met the one I want to meet?" Pan questioned. "Some people search the whole lives to find that friend who is also the object of love." Pan continued. "Why would I see jerks who just want sex, or a good time when I have someone like you?" Trunks nodded she was making a lot of sense and spoke with wisdom of someone much older. "You make good points Pan. But your still fifteen, it's against the laws." Trunks frowned. "Its only against the law if we were to get caught." Pan smirked. She was proud of her logic. Trunks just stared at Pan in awe, she was right sort of. Breaking a law only really is breaking that law if you are charged right? Oh come one he thought to himself, thats trying to make it alright. And he knew it was just not right. "Pan, this is a big risk. For both of us, besides what are we even saying? That we want to date?" Trunks felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest. Just saying it out loud made him feel crazy though. Pan looked into Trunks's eyes. "Well do we?" She questioned. "Its not something you just decide Pan thats not how it works." Trunks crossed his arms. "Oh then what are we saying?" Pan retorted. "That you want to hit it and quit it." Pan was sorry as soon as she said it. That was not the type of man Trunks was and she knew that. "Why in the hell would you say that to me Pan. Is that what you think of me?" Trunks growled. Pan lowered her head. "no of course not Trunks, Its just all so stupid we have always talked to one another why can't we just say what we want." Now she made a very good point. They had always shared everything. Despite the age difference Pan was his very best friend besides Goten. Why was it so hard to think that they could fall for one another? Was it just the society and the disaproval they would get holding them back? "Trunks, I am going to leave it up to you. I've been more than honest about how I felt." Pan started to fly away but was pulled back to the ground by Trunks's hand. He pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms completely around her enclosing her inside his embrace. The kiss was sweet and tender, both lingered in the kiss not wanting to speak again. Words were hard they got messed up, but this. This was easy, it was doing what you felt. It was letting go of all restraints and going for it.
The two separated finally, "Pan I want you to be mine." Trunks said it in a very husky and rough voice. "I don't want anyone else touching you the way I plan on touching you." His voice was like silk smooth and inviting. "I want to be the first one and the last one to take you as his." Trunks put his hand under Pan's chin and tilted her head upward to his. "I want to be yours Pan, I want you to touch me and feel me." He was so seductive right now. Pan had never seen this side of Trunks. The sweet and gentle Trunks was not here, instead stood a powerful and dominating man. Wanting to touch her as a man touches a woman. Longing for her embrace for body to be one with his. In was all very exciting but scary too. Pan was a virgin she had never kissed anyone before Trunks. She was not sure how to act or how to move forward. Sensing her dismay, Trunks slowed down. "Pan, I know I will be your first. And I know thats scary so we will go slow. We will do only as much as your ok with ok?" He smiled giving her a sense of confidence. "Ok Trunks. I want the same things you want just be patient." She smiled. "Ok Pan. So one more question." Pan nodded for him to ask. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Trunks smiled. "Yes."
