I DON'T OWN DBZ

ENJOY!

Trunks' head jolted around, quickly picking up Pan's ki in a matter of seconds, he was able to lock in on her this time, picking up exactly where she was. He quickly grabbed his duffle bag and threw a bunch of clothes in it and grabbed is toothbrush. He ran into the living area grabbing a piece of paper off of the desk he scribbled on it and left it for Bra and Goten to see. He had no time, no time to call them and let them know where he was off to, this could be his only chance to find her before she disguised herself again. Running out of the room, the door slammed behind him, he didn't even stop to check if it had locked. He hailed a taxi and headed straight for the airport he had a plane to catch, he couldn't contain the thoughts in his head, the thoughts of seeing Pan, pregnant with his son, it would be so different, but how would she react? He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, trying to not let himself get too hyped up, she might totally freak out on him for showing up; but he had a right to be there, to be there when the child was born, and he wasn't going to back down.

Pan wasn't sure what to do about the bracelet, for some reason she wasn't scared of him finding her this time. She wasn't sure why but she felt as if this could be a sign, a sign that maybe she didn't need to hide anymore, that she was strong enough to face him and tell him she is moving on, no take that back, she has moved on. She heard the screen door slide open, and then claws going across the wood floor, Austin was back; he had no clue about her, what would he say? She contemplated trying to explain to him about her heritage, about her family, he was so understanding about everything else, but they had only been friends for about a month and a half. She shook her head and walked into the living room, smiling as she saw him trying to calm Rowdy down without yelling, "You got him huh?"

"Yeah he was itching to get out, I took him out front to pee and then just brought him over here like you insisted," he reached down and let the dog off the leash, making him sit so he wouldn't pummel her.

"Well how about that movie, you still wanna watch it," she asked placing the broken bracelet on the coffee table. Austin looked down at the broken piece of jewelry and picked it up, looking it over he began to fiddle with it.

"You aren't freaking out about your bracelet? That is not like you?"

"No, I think I need a break from it, I need to be free," she smiled, walking over to the DVD's she had rented.

"Well good, I think this thing needs cleaned, look at all the nastiness," he threw it back down on the coffee table, stood up and walked over to where Pan was staring looking at movies, glancing at the selections so she wouldn't have the chance to make him watch some chick flick.

"Well which one?"

"Put in The Unborn, I heard that's supposed to be good," Austin said picking it up and handing it to her.

"That's perfect, I didn't want to have to watch that one alone, it looks so scary," she said covering her eyes with her hands. Austin wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him, "You don't have to be scared, I'll protect you." She stared up into his eyes, getting caught up in the moment, just looking at him, he leaned in and kissed her, and for some reason beyond her control she kissed him back, and didn't try to pull away. They continued their make out session for about five minutes before she realized what was going on, feeling his hands make their way up her body, she pulled away from him and blushed, walking over to the DVD player. He couldn't help but smile back that was the closest she had let him get to her since she had gotten back from the hospital. It made him want to talk to her about the whole hospital incident between them, but he didn't want to push her, he didn't want to seem like it was too much too fast. He took a seat on the couch and Rowdy lay at his feet, Pan put the movie in and grabbed the remote and a blanket and made her way over to the couch; taking a seat in between his legs, she snuggled in close to his chest, covering them both with the blanket. He liked this, she wasn't trying to get away from him, she still wanted to be close, that had to mean something, and he wrapped his arms around her body, not wanting to let her go, as the movie began. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of Austin, and how good of a person he was, someone that she knew would be there for her and Chase, and take care of them both, but at the same time she kept thinking about Trunks and how much she did truly miss him, I can't believe I miss him, I can't believe he keeps haunting my thoughts and actions. She really wanted to get closer to Austin, she truly cared for him, but her mind kept telling her that she would never truly be happy because of the fact he wasn't Trunks Briefs. But she cut her thoughts off, tonight she wasn't going to let him wreak havoc on her mind and her actions, tonight she was going to be happy with Austin, and snuggle and maybe kiss him again, and that was that. She snuggled in closer to him and he tightened the grasp around her and they both sat in peace watching the movie together, both exactly where they wanted to be.

Trunks tapped the pen on the tray in front of him; the plane was getting ready to take off. It was only a matter of hours now before he had Pan back in his arms. He never took his concentration off of her ki, making sure not to lose her this time. He was taken aback by the fact that she was with another ki, a male, he wasn't sure what to think about this, if she was in danger then hers would be much higher than normal, but it wasn't. The stewardess came over and asked him to put the tray up for the take off, which he obliged not noticing the piece of paper she dropped on his lap at first. When she walked away he picked it up, her number of course, shaking his head he crumpled the piece of paper up, skank, he thought as he grabbed his IPod out of his bag, putting in his ear buds, the only way this rise was going to go fast was to try and get some sleep, which happened before he could even try and fight it off, he was exhausted.

Goten and Bra had finally made their way back to the hotel. Waiting for the elevator Goten almost dropped the pizza's but managed to hold on to them. When they got up to the room Bra took the key out from her purse, pushing it in the slider, hearing a beep she opened the door to find complete darkness. "TRUNKS," she yelled walking in a flipping the light switch, but not getting a response. "Trunks we're back with dinner, where are you?" Bra walked through the whole place, even glancing out on the balcony but coming up with no one. She searched him out and found his energy to the south.

"Bra come in here quick," Goten yelled picking up the piece of paper on the coffe table. Bra came running in taking the paper out of Gotens extended hand and quickly reading it over. Tears started to fall from her blue eyes, "He did it, he really knows where she is," she asked looking the paper over in disbelief. Goten shook his head, "That's what it says doesn't it, he is on her way to find her right now," he walked over and pulled Bra into a huge hug. Both of them were in shock that it was finally coming to the end of their search, the end of Trunks' misery of not knowing where his lover and baby were. Bra pulled away from Goten and sunk into the couch, pulling out her cell phone and dialing her brother's number, but was quickly disappointed when it went right to voice mail. She slammed her phone shut and looked up to Goten who was in the middle of trying to call him too, but also was met with the same ending. "He has to be on a plane, he never turns his phone off unless he has too, and I'm sure he will call as soon as he lands and let us know what's going on." Bra smiled and put her phone on the table, laying down on the couch, tears of joy still falling from her eyes, she was finally going to get to see her best friend again.
