Trunks hurried his way to the ballroom, only to find that Pan was still lying on the ground, out cold, surrounding by guests. There were 3 men who were trying to wake her, and Gohan was standing there watching the entire even, fear swallowing his face. Trunks pushed through the crowds and over to Gohan, who sighed in relief when he saw him.

"Trunks, please take Pan to her chambers for rest. She must be exhausted from her journey, maybe even sick, she does look rather pale doesn't she? I didn't notice at first...." Gohan kept rambling on about how sick Pan looked as Trunks carefully lifted her body off the ground. The crowd made a path for him as he walked out of the ballroom. Only when he was in the halls did he notice 3 men following him.

"Excuse me, but who are you what do you think you are doing?" Trunks asked them. All three frowned at him, like he didn't deserve their names. Trunks turned fully around facing the men.

"If you must know, I am Yiko, that's Racine, and that's Afarus. One of us are to be Pan's future mates and ruler of Vegeta-sei. We are making sure Pan is taken safely to her room. You can't trust anyone, even a body guard with a princess" Spoke Yiko, the snobbiest one of them all. Trunks eyes widened. M...mate?? One of these guys. Trunks wasn't stupid and knew that if him and Pan were already bonded, he would not survive long if she physically mated with someone else. He would die, and eventually she would die from pain. Neither death was very pleasant.

"I am capable of carrying Pan to her chambers and I do not need the assistance of you 3. You can go back to the party She will be okay" Trunks said, turning and walking with the still unconscious Pan. The three men shrugged, and moved back to go to the party room. Trunks looked down at Pan.

"I wont let this happen to you" he murmured, walking into her room. He placed her on the bed and pulled the blankets over her. He sat down in a chair next to the window. He felt his mind swirl all over. How could this be happening.

Everyone thought Pan had fainted because she was tired, but Trunks knew it was because of shock. 3 guys Pan had never met were now meant to be her mates?? That had to be the cruelest fate possible. Trunks looked over at the princesses unconscious form. She was so beautiful. Pan possessed an elegance about her that no other had. She had beauty, grace, and skill. "Perfect" Trunks murmured, getting up from his spot. He moved to the door to leave Pan to rest, hoping she would feel better. Opening the door, he stepped out and closed it.

Walking back to the Ballroom, Trunks found the king talking to the 3 men again. He growled fiercely at them. No one had a right to decide Pan's fate. He moved over to lean against the wall, watching the people who had gone back to their mindless chatter.

"Trunks!!" the king called out from where he was. Trunks looked up and walked over to Gohan and the other 3 men that were with him. "How is she?" he asked, his voice full of false concern. Trunks suppressed another growl.

"She's fine, just needs some rest. I think she is still asleep." He informed the king, who nodded and smiled. He motioned for Trunks to go back to wear he was and continued discussing how each man could have a chance at Pan.

"Idiots...all idiots" Trunks whispered.

---Pan's room---

Lying in the bed, Pan's eyes fluttered open, slowly. She took in her surroundings, a skill she had learned on her training expedition. *My room? Why am I hear?* she asked herself, right before the memories came flooding back to her, bringing tears to her eyes.

"Dad is going to force me to be mate's with one of those stuck-up son's of bitches!" she shouted aloud. She pounded her fists on her bed, angry that this would be arranged. She wanted to be mated with her choice of man, not her father's. Pan felt as if all her rights had been stripped from her. Her life as she knew it was now officially over.

"Unless.." she said, grabbing the transmitter she acquired over time. She punched in a few numbers, and soon the tiny machine was beeping and screeching. A picture began to form and a voice could be heard.

"Hello? this is Bohana, who has contacted me?" the feminine voice asked. Pan's face brightened, and she laughed with joy. Her Crosiaman friend had come through.

"Bohana it's me Pan. Listen I really need your help. I need to get away from Vegeta-sei and I will need a place to crash. Can I come back to your planet and stay there??" she asked, her face hopeful. The girl on the screen cringed a bit.

"Pan, if you father found we were sheltering you, there would be a war at hand. Our race is not strong enough to defend ourselves against the Saiya-jins. How bad is your situation?" the girl asked. Pan began to cry.

"My father is going to force me to mate with one of 3 males of his selection. All 3 of them disgust me and I don't want to take any of them as my mate. My situation gets worse because I feel like I have already bonded with someone else. I just don't know who it could be. Bohana, please. I am begging you to let me go to your planet." Pan pleaded with the girl. The blue eyed, black haired girl on the screen shook her head.

"I understand you situation, Pan, but our planet can't be involved. There is a planet only a few light-years away from us though. It's deserted of any life as intelligent as us, basically all animals and plants. You could go there and be safe. Leave now, and make a stop on my planet. I will have you loaded up with neccesay equipment. Then you will be on your way. Will that do??" Bohana asked. Pan thought for a moment, then nodded her head in agreement.

"It will have to do. I will see you in 24 hours, Thanks Bohana" she said and shut off the device. Pan looked over at the picture of her with the teddy bear. "If they think I ran away, it wont give me much time, but if I make it look as if I had been kidnapped..."Pan let out ideas to herself. She locked her door and began to tear her room apart, making it look as if a struggle took place. She ripped a black spandex suit into shreds and layed them all around in incriminating ways. A few more tears in the curtains, some shattered glass and an overturned dresser finished off the look.

"Now for the Ki hiding bracelet." Pan said, digging through her closet. She came across one silk, black dress, not fancy enough to be a princess's, but still nice. Pan smirked, and remembered some of the blue hair coloring she had mixed sometime back. *Perfect, no one will no its me! This could not be better!* she shouted in her mind as she pulled the coloring out. She threw it into a small backpack, along with the dress and all the accessories she would need. Double-checking her room one more time, Pan hoped out the window and to the space-pod area a few miles away.

~~~

"Pan dear, are you okay" Gohan said gently tapping on the door. She had been in her room, most likely asleep for over 5 hours now...and it was unusual for her to be asleep that long. He gently pushed open the door, but it stopped as if blocked off by something. He used a bit more effort and pushed the door all the way open. His eyes widened in horror at the site.

Pan's room was a disaster. Shattered glass covered area's around the windows. Furniture had been upset and the curtains looked as if a tiger had scratched them to shreds. Gohan walked around the room, not seeing Pan but looking for something that would show she was okay. He found nothing.

Walking over to the window, Gohan fought back a tear. What could have happened to his little angel. What vicious creature would do this? Gohan considered all his enemies at the time, but none of them were strong enough to do such a thing without him knowing of it. Gohan turned to the door until something black hanging from the window caught his eye. He pulled it off the glass and looked at it. *Training spandex?* He turned the material over. He gasped. It had the Vegeta-sei royal seal on it. Someone had kidnapped Pan and the person was a Saiya-jin.

Gohan bolted out of the room and ran down to his thrown room. He summoned the royal announcer to sound the castle and to get all of the guards into his presence. "Sire, it's 1 in the morning, the men need their rest. Could it not wait till the morning??" the man asked. Gohan began to shake with rage. His eyes flashed an emerald green and his hair stood up in golden locks.

"We have no time to wait. My daughter has been kidnapped!!"
