Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball. Sadly.

IMPORTANT:

I added more to the last chapter so if you read it before 10:00 on Thursday, November 13, 2008, then you did not get the full chapter. Be sure to read the end of that chapter before moving on to this one. It won't make sense otherwise.

I was extremely dissatisfied with the amount of reveries from my last chapter. I know that I was rude for not updating (so touché) but now that I am finally done. So please read and review. Just so you know, I am back in the whole '' writing faze, so after I refresh my memory by rereading Life Sucks Sometimes and Truth or Dare, sequels will be posted. I also have new ideas and lots of one shots lined up. So keep an eye out because LiveforDBZ is back!

Thank-you for reviewing:

Phantasom – You know me! I like somewhat of a tragic ending. Emphasis on the 'somewhat'. They never really last. As long as you review this chapter, all is forgiven. One more update to the song list!

Chapter 10 – Fall For Anything

---TRUNKS---

He knew where she was. He had to hurry. He had seen everything through Pan's eyes, but noticed something she hadn't. There was a skyscraper in the distance. Hint? It had a very large CC shining bright blue.

That was when he saw the flames. He would have to hurry. He hoped it wouldn't be too late. He transformed into Super Sayian and sped up.

Upon arrival the first thing he did was untie Pan. He set her unconscious form on the stage, and turned to deal with the psycho cult. The first to die was the leader.

"You all just earned yourselves one way tickets to hell." His rage blinded him as he killed them off one by one. They were no match for him. They never even had a hope in hell of surviving.

As the last victim fell lifeless to the ground, Trunks saw movement in the corner of his eye. He turned in time to see Ryan force a strange green liquid down Pan's throat. Her eyes fluttered open. She was soon bent over, gasping for breath that didn't seem to come.

Trunks growled angrily and pinned Ryan to the ground.

"What did you do to her?!"

Ryan smirked. "She hasn't got long to live, lover boy. So I suggest you spend her last moment on earth with her." Ryan was dead in an instant of having his neck snapped.

"Trunks" Pan gasped out. He crawled towards her and cradled her head in his lap. She was sweating a lot.

"Pan." He smiled reassuringly. "Everything is going to be okay. You are going to be okay. I promise"

She coughed. "You really shouldn't make promises that you can't keep, Trunks."

"Pan, I…"

"Trunks." She reached out to him as he took her hand in his. "I love you."

Tears ran down his face. He had never felt so helpless or weak than he did in that moment. "I love you."

He leaned down and kissed her softly, hoping that with the contact, he would be poisoned as well. A warm golden light surrounded them, but neither noticed. All Trunks knew was Pan, and all Pan knew was pain. The light faded.

There was nothing special about the view outside the plane window. The clouds were an eerie yellow color. Trunks let a tear fall from his eyes as he thought about the events of his recent life. He had finally grasped true love only to have it ripped away so cruelly by a psycho dude and his cult.

Is the world so big it makes you feel small
Is the hole you dig even deep enough at all
The graveyard's full my grandma used to say
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything

What would he do without Pan? What would he have had to tell her family? Pan was his everything, but Gohan and Videl had gone years without knowing anything about their daughter's whereabouts.

Is time worth saving in paper dollar bills
Coz we always just done it don't mean we always will
Is it worth singing along if you have a song to sing
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything

Trunks allowed himself a small smile as he thought about Pan. She was unlike anyone else he had ever known.

Can one single person make a change if they try
It's true all the martyrs that ever lived already died
Is the road so long we're gonna have to drive
If you don't stand for something you will fall too far behind

He glanced beside him and saw that she was still asleep. He sighed. After he had kissed her, everything had gone black. When he woke up again, Pan was breathing, but unconscious. 3 days had passed and she had no change in her condition. All that was left for him to do was bring her home and hope Vegita could shed some light on the current situation. The problem had to be something Sayain related. Trunks was her mate after all.

Is there meaning in all these words that we say
Is there a reason for living life anyway
Is confusion a state like Iowa or Maine
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything

He reached over and brushed a stray hair from her face. She looked so peaceful. He let his hand wander down her neck and rested it on her marking from where he bit her during mating.

Are the waters so rough coz we try to scrub em clean
Do we mean the things we do, do we do the things we mean
When a child is born is it coz she has sinned
If she tries to stand for something will she take the fall for everything

Something wasn't right. Trunks moved his hand and glanced down where the mark was supposed to be. It was fading. The mark was fading. Trunks couldn't help but panic. What was happening? This wasn't natural, was it? In a moment of pure desperation, Trunks brushed his lips over the fading scar before biting, reopening the wound.

When the day has come and your shadow's lost its light
Will you see in the darkness who was wrong and who was right
Will the devil pay your tab and take you home with him
Coz you either stand for something or you fall for anything

Trunks heard a gasp from beneath him and pulled away in time to see Pan's eyes flutter before opening. Tears were now flowing freely from his eyes as Pan looked at him.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Pan asked, reaching up to wipe away his tears and cup his face in her small hand. Trunks let out a small laugh and leaned into her touch. He turned his head and kissed her palm.

Pan giggled. "Trunks? Are you going to explain anything?"

Trunks just grinned, vision blurred by the ongoing flow of tears. "I will. But just let me have this moment."

Pan smiled, understanding. Trunks placed a hand over her bite mark, and pulled her towards him.

Their lips met in the most passionate kiss that either had ever experienced. As they kissed, everything seemed right. They were on the way to a home Pan hadn't seen in years, new and old family members eagerly awaiting their return. The long, bumpy road that they had travelled was behind them. This kiss was the reassurance that everything was gonna be okay.

But it wasn't just okay. Everything was finally perfect.

All done! This journey has been long, and we owe it to ourselves to review one last time. Get Lucky is now complete. Thank you for reading.
