Author's Note: Yes! I am still alive. It might not have seemed like it but I am. I got a new computer and I have been trying to figure out how to get the blasted thing to work. I am back this time with another installment of I have loved you forever. I promise that I will finish the last part of Twilight's Kingdom. I am just a little slow with the last chapter because once I finish it, the story will be over and I will be sad. Anyway, as usual I don't own Dragonball or it's characters. I am just borrowing them for a while without the intent of returning them, so ha! I do own my little Chibi Trunks key chain my mom bought for me and the Mirai Trunks sticker I bought at House of Anime. Hey! I needed a little inspiration, plus it was only a dollar and how could I have passed up on a deal like that? I'll stop talking now since I am sure you want to go on and read the fic. So enjoy!

Pan walked into the kitchen, still holding the chicken leg that Trunks had given her earlier. She munched on it happily as she entered the laundry room and sat down at the videophone. Pan punched the familiar numbers for Bra's videophone and sat back to wait for the phone to dial. A few seconds later a view of Bra's room appeared on the screen, but Bra was no where to be seen. Pan was about to call out for her friend when she heard a faint giggle followed by what sounded like two people making out.
Pan quickly put two and two together and a devious plan came to mind. "Uncle Goten look out! It's Vegeta!" Pan shouted as loud as she could.
Instantly there was a loud crash and a nervous Goten's head popped up from the side of Bra's bed that Pan could see that his face was covered with lipstick kisses. "Daddy I can explain everything…" Bra began as she quickly sat up and began wiping the smeared lipstick off her face.
Pan couldn't hold back her laughter any more as she watched the two panic, afraid that their little love affair was discovered. Bra froze when she realized that her father had not come storming into the room. In fact he wasn't even home. Her mother had drug him out shopping. That was why Goten was over. They had the house to themselves. She was even more confused when she heard the laughter filling the room. Bra turned to her right to see Pan laughing her head off. "Pan?" Bra shouted both angry and happy to see her best friend.
"Oh man! That was so classic! I could not have planned that better if I tried." Pan said trying to contain her laughter but failing.
Bra got up off the bed and lifted up the bottom of the bedspread. She looked at Goten who was now hiding under the bed. "It was Pan, sweetie. My Dad's not here. It's safe for you to come out."
Goten poked his head out from under the bed spread and looked up at the videophone screen. "Hi Panny!" he said crawling out from under the bed and giving her a classic Son smile.
"Hi Uncle Goten. How long have you two been sneaking these make out sessions in?" Pan asked with a teasing tone in her voice.
"Um…well…see…" Goten began stuttering.
Bra sighed and shoved her boyfriend out of the way. She sat down in front of the videophone. "We have been dating since three weeks after you left to go to Oxford."
Pan's eyes grew large. "You two have been dating for that long and you didn't tell me?"
Bra looked down at the ground guiltily. "We didn't want anyone to know. We were scared that if someone found out then they would tell my dad and…"
"He basically kill me." Goten finished for Bra.
"Don't worry. You secret is safe with me. Besides, I always thought that you two would make a cute couple." Pan replied with a smile.
"Thanks P-chan. I owe you one. By the way, where are you? You dad is about to go nuts with worry." Bra replied.
Pan smiled again at the mention of her old nickname that only Bra could call her. "No problem B-chan…as for where I am? Let's just say that I am on a little island in the middle of the ocean."
Just then there was a loud crashing sound, followed by a long string of curses. Bra gave Pan an odd look. "Pan, who was that?"
Pan sighed and shook her head. "My roommate and sparring partner. He doesn't seem to be able to master the art of cooking yet."
"Oh? Your roommate is a he? Is he cute?" Bra asked with an evil gleam in her eye.
"What? Pan you are rooming with a guy? He better damn well be gay. Because if he lays one hand on you. I will kill him!" Goten growled.
"Uncle Goten quit jumping to conclusions. My roommate is a really nice guy. You would like him if you met him. He is trying to help me go Super Sayin." Pan replied trying to calm down Goten.
"Oh! Can we meet him now?" Bra asked hoping to meet the guy who would help her best friend forget her baka brother.
Pan shrugged. "I'll go ask him if he wants to meet you. I don't know if he will or not. He is kind of a privet guy."
Bra waited patiently as Pan got up and headed back into the kitchen. "This guy better not be trying anything with my niece. If he does I'll…" Goten began but was silenced by a kiss from Bra.
"Hush. This guy has to be nice. Otherwise he would be dead by now. You know as well as I do that there is no way Pan would tell someone that she doesn't trust about her trying to become Super Sayin. Besides, didn't you see that little twinkle in her eyes when she mentioned him? I think she is beginning to fall for him, whoever he is."
Goten muttered something under his breath as Pan came back to the phone. "Where is he?" Bra asked looking around, trying to find Pan's mystery guy.
"He's coming. Don't worry. He's just a little slow." Pan replied as a figure walked into the dimly lit room.
Bra gasped as she recognized whom the figure was. "Pan? What are you doing living with my brother? Where's Marron?"
Pan smiled at her question as Mirai Trunks made Pan scoot in her seat and share it, so he could get a good look at his sister and Goten. Pan glared at him but didn't say anything. Trunks pointed at Bra and Goten. "So who are they again?" he asked.
"The girl is your sister Bra and the guy is my Uncle Goten and the second son of Chi-Chi and Goku." Pan explained, ignoring Bra's comment for the time being.
"Wow…so my parents did stay together in this timeline."
"Pan? Why aren't you answering my question?" Bra demanded.
Pan smiled again. "This technically is not your brother Bra. This is Mirai Trunks, the one who came to warn our parents about the androids that were coming. Everything in his world is dead. So he came here to live out the rest of his life and we just happened to bump into each other here on the island."
"Wow!" Goten said after several moments of silence as he and Bra absorbed what Pan had told them. "I heard stories about you but I never thought that I would ever meet you. This is cool."
"It's nice to meet you too Goten. I am glad that at least I did help save the world a little in this time."
"So is it just you two on this island?" Bra asked hoping that romance was in the air. She knew that Pan deserved to be happy after she watched Trunks get married to Marron.
"Well…your brother from this time line and Marron are on this island also. It seems that we are all on the island that Bulma bought for Trunks and Marron, as a wedding present." Pan replied
Bra's mouth dropped open. "You have got to be kidding me."
Pan shook her head. "Nope, but it doesn't really matter. Mirai Trunks and me hardly see them. We spend most of our time in the gravity room."
It was then that Pan began to smell a strange smell in the air. "Trunks, what's that smell?" Pan asked sniffing the air.
"Uh…before I came in here. I put something in the oven." Trunks replied, as he was about to stand up.
Pan shook her head. "I'll take care of it Trunks. You stay here and talk to Uncle Goten and your sister slash my future Aunt Bra."
"Pan!" Bra shouted and blushed scarlet.
Pan smiled sweetly at her. "Just telling him the truth."
Bra was about to start yelling at her when Pan made a quick exit. "Oh I am going to kill her when she gets back here."
Trunks laughed at Bra's comment. She was defiantly his sister. "So…" he began, not really sure how to have a conversation with Goten and Bra.
"Pan's not causing you too much trouble is she?" Goten asked.
"Other than barging her way into my house, forcing me to let her stay here and demanding that I help her reach Super Sayin…she hasn't given me any trouble at all." Trunks replied with a smile on his face.
Both Bra and Goten laughed at this comment. "That sounds like Panny." Goten said.
Before Trunks could reply there was a loud shout from the kitchen. "Trunks Briefs! You are here by banned from this kitchen except to get food out of the fridge or if I am in there with you." Pan shouted.
Trunks blushed sheepishly. "I better go before she kills me. It was nice talking to you."
"Bye," both Goten and Bra said as Trunks cut off the video phone connection.
"Did you see that?" Bra asked excitedly as she stood up from the chair in front of her phone.
"See what?" Goten asked as clueless as usual.
"The way that they acted towards each other. Pan may wined up being my sister-in-law after all!"
Goten gave Bra a look and allowed her to drag him back over to her bed. He could tell that she was once again in one of her plotting moods. He could almost see the gears in her head turning. He smiled to himself. This was just one of the other million things about Bra that he loved. She always tried to find a way to make everyone happy. "Now where were we before Pan interrupted us?" Bra asked laying down on her bed.
Goten's smile grew larger as he lay down on top of her. "I think that we were right about here," he said claming her lips in a kiss.

Trunks floated in mid air as he watched Pan gasp for air. They were both in the gravity room sparing as they had been doing for the past six weeks. This time it had been more intense than before. Pan was beginning to get desperate. She knew that it had taken her Grandfather Goku and Vegeta almost their whole like to become Super Sayin but not being able to reach that leave was beginning to tick Pan off. Plus add in the fact that Present Trunks and Marron had left the island promising to come back for a visit two days ago, made Pan want to become a Super Sayin even more.
"Pan…can't we rest? You are warn out. We have been training for the past two days non stop." Trunks asked trying to talk some sense into Pan.
Pan shook her head. "Your father in this time line didn't rest until he reached Super Sayin…so, I'm not going to either." Pan said floating back up to Trunks' height.
Trunks shook his head. Pan was beginning to get on his nerves. He could understand why she wanted to become a Super Sayin but enough was enough. Trunks was about to float back down to the ground and tell her to train by herself till tomorrow, when he remember something. Sometimes Sayins needed a little push of anger to reach the Super Sayin level. But how was he going to be able to push her to that level. It was then that the idea hit him.
"When are you going to give up Pan?" he asked her.
Pan gave Trunks an odd look. "What do you mean give up?"
"Haven't you realized it by now. There is no hope for you to reach Super Sayin. If there was, you would have reached it by now. So just give it up and be happy with your power level as it is."
Pan's mouth dropped open and Trunks instantly began to regret the things that he was saying to her, but he knew that he had to keep going. Other wise she would never reach her goal. "I highly doubt that you will become a Super Sayin because you hardly have enough Sayin blood in you. You are a pathetic excuse for a Sayin." Trunks continued.
At these words Pan began to cry almost appearing as if she was going to give up like Trunks told her to. But then Trunks could feel Pan's energy level increase. She was getting closer, just a little more and she would be there. "I am surprised that your Grandfather actually let you train. You have no strength and no hope of ever becoming a Super Sayin. It truly shows that Goku was an idiot."
Pan let out a cry that was a cross between an angry snarl and a growl. Slowly her hair began to change from it's normal raven color to a golden color. Her eyes changed from black to turquoise in a matter of seconds. "You can insult me all you want to. But when you start talking about my family. That is when I kill you!" Pan shouted charging toward Trunks and slamming her fist into Trunks' gut.
Trunks gasped for air and Pan slammed her elbow into his spine. Sending him crashing to the ground. Leaving a foot deep impact creator. Trunks barely had time to get out of the creator before Pan was on top of him. She forced him on his back and startled his waist. In any normal circumstances Trunks would have been thrilled that a pretty girl was on top of him, but now he was trying not to get killed.
Trunks quickly held up his hands. "Wait! Before you deck me into next week. You should know that you are a Super Sayin now."
Pan's eyes grew large. She quickly reached back and pulled a stand of it back towards her eyes. Trunks was right. She was a Super Sayin. A smile lit up her face as she slowly got off of Trunks. She was about to say something to him when suddenly her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she fell out of Super Sayin mode. Trunks was easily able to catch her.
He smiled at her and placed a small kiss on her forehead. "You did good Panny. Your father would be proud." Trunks whispered as he carried her out of the gravity room and tried to ignore to tingly sensation that he was feeling from the small kiss.
* * *
"Well…I guess that this is good bye." Pan said sadly the next day after she recovered from her fainting.
Trunks nodded slowly. "Are you sure that you have to go? Don't you need to learn to control when you go Super Sayin? I'm not going to be around all the time to get you angry. You can stay as long as you like." he almost begged.
Pan shook her head and shifted her book bag uncomfortably. "I need to get home. I called Dad this morning and he says that it is time for me to get back."
Trunks nodded sadly. He wasn't sure why but for some reason he felt as if a part of him was leaving with Pan. "You will come back and visit me won't you?" he asked.
Pan nodded and reached forward to give him a hug. "I will. I'll be over here so much that you will wish I would leave."
Trunks shook his head and returned the hug. "Never happen."
Pan pulled back from the hug and gave Trunks a sad smile. She then blasted off into the air and towards home.
