Soon the class was over for the day and the final bell rang. The class shouted their "woohoo"s in weekend celebration and ran out of the classroom.

"You coming, Pan? I asked my mom if we could hang out at that new pizza place down town after school let out." Sam said excitingly.

"Yeah, I'll meet you outside Sammy. I have to go and return this book to the library really quick." Pan replied with a smirk, lifting up the final book of a manga that she had finished the previous night.

"M'kay. Hurry up, alright? This belly doesn't like waiting!" Sam chuckled, heading out of the classroom.

Pan stuffed her Chemistry Textbook into her bookbag and slung it over her shoulder. She had her manga grasped in her opposite arm as she headed for the door.

"Hey, Pan-" Trunks said, coming out from behind his desk and walking towards her.

"Yeah..?" Pan said, stopping in her tracks and looking at him curiously.

Trunks hesitated, scratching the back of his head.

"I know that you must have still not completely forgiven me about straying away from you for so long- but I want to try and make things right." Trunks began.

"…Uhuh." Pan stated, giving him a confused expression.

"So, I want to take you somewhere. You can pick anywhere you want. All that I care about is that we hang out like we used to. Hopefully we can become friends again." Trunks said, trying to give a sincere smile and apology.

Pan smirked.

"Take me somewhere, huh? … Well then. There's the Fair that's going on tomorrow

and it just so happens that I have two tickets." Pan said, whipping them out of her pocket and waving them in Trunks' face like it was a million dollars.

She knew he hated the rides and the horrid smell of animal poop.

"Th-the Fair..?" Trunks asked wide-eyed.

"Yup, the Fair. You said I can 'pick anywhere I want', right?" Pan asked, smirking deviously.

"That I did.." Trunks replied, scratching his cheek with his index finger.

"Alright then. We're going to the fair. Is there a specific time you'd like to be picked up by?" Trunks asked.

Pan pulled out her phone and checked her calendar.

"2:30 sounds good to me. Work for you?" Pan asked, shoving it back into her back pocket.

"Yeah, that'll work. Don't be a-"

"'minute late.', I know, I know. On the dot, 2:30 sharp." Pan finished for him, rolling her eyes and smirking as she began to walk away.

Trunks chuckled.

"See you, Pan."

Pan turned around momentarily.

"Later, Trunks." she said, walking out the door.

Pan walked down the hall and stopped by the library to return her book. She entered and put her book down the 'return' shoot.

Curious for a new read, Pan ventured through the walls of books and stood at the manga section. She let her finger trail along the hard-back bindings of the books. Pan noticed that there was a new series the library just brought in.

It was called, "Midnight Ninja".

"Huh.." Pan huffed, picking out the first book and scanning its cover closely.

It was a ninja with his mask pulled down, embracing a female heroine. Their lips were almost touching.

Pan blushed.

"Romantic Doujinshi?!" She whispered to herself.

She looked around and made sure no one was looking before walking to the front desk.

"I'd like this book, please.." Pan said to the librarian.

The librarian lady took her book and scanned it before handing it back to her.

"Romance, huh?" the librarian asked.

Pan blushed severely and stuffed the book in her bookbag before speed-walking out of the library.

"Kids.." the librarian said, shaking her head and continuing to file some new books that had arrived.

Pan headed down the hall and made her way outside of the school. She saw Sammy sitting under a shady tree with her bookbag next to her.

"There you are!" Sam said.

Sammy stood up and slung her backpack over her shoulder. She walked up to Pan and met her half way.

"What took you so long?! I've been out here for almost thirty minutes! Everyone else is already off campus." Sammy said, crossing her arms.

"I looked for a new book to read when I returned my old one. Sorry.." Pan said, scratching the back of her head.

Sammy grabbed Pan's wrist and began to walk quickly down the sidewalk.

"Come on, I'm ready for some pizza!" She said happily, making Pan laugh.

"You're totally bipolar, I swear." Pan said, dragging along behind her.

Pan pulled out her phone and texted Videl that she was going to be home later because she was hanging out with Sammy.

Pan and Sam walked and chatted for the whole 10-minute walk to the pizza joint. Pan could smell the pizza and grease before they even entered the place.

"So this is the new pizza place that everyone keeps talking about, huh?" Pan asked Sammy as they stood outside of the building.

"Yup! I heard they have amazing pizza and their breadsticks are to die for!" Sammy answered enthusiastically.

"If you say so, Sam." Pan said chuckling.

They both entered the building and the smell of fresh cheese and tomatoes hit them like a brick wall.

"Mmm, that smells sooooo good!" Sammy noted, visibly drooling.

A waiter approached them and asked,

"Hello! Welcome to D'Pizza Joint. Is there only two of you, or are you expecting someone?"

"It's only the two of us." Pan replied with a chuckle, pulling Sammy away from someone's plate of food that she was sniffing over.

"Right this way, ladies!" The waiter said, leading them to a booth.

Pan and Sammy ordered their food and drinks and began to eat their fill.

"So Pan, what was your new book that you checked out called?" Sammy asked with some pizza shoved in her mouth.

"Um, m-my book..?" Pan asked nervously.

"Ye-es, your book!" Sammy said, rolling her eyes.

Pan thought for a moment, scratching her cheek with her index finger.

"Well… I decided to try something new. So, I checked out a mystery novel." Pan told her, taking a sip of her soda.

Sammy stopped chewing.

"A mystery novel, huh? Okay, sure." Sammy replied doubtfully.

"Hehe, yup.. complete mystery." Pan said nervously, scratching the back of her head.

After a while of munching and burping and laughing, Sammy and Pan left D'Pizza Joint and headed out.

Pan walked Sam home and said her farewells. She made sure no one was looking before taking to the sky in her flight back home.

Pan landed near the front door of her house and opened the door.

"I'm home, Mom." Pan stated loudly, shutting the door and walking up the stairs to her room.

She entered her 'Pan Cave' and tossed her bookbag onto her bed. She sat next to where it landed and took off her shoes and socks.

Carefully, she dug around her bookbag until she found her new manga.

"Alright 'Midnight Ninja', let's see what you're all about." Pan mumbled to herself, opening the first page.
