~~~~~Pan at Bulma's House~~~~~~
Pan woke up in the morning and thought back what happened in the party day before. She heard from many people and also in tabloids that Trunks is a total player and most popular with women. Tears dripped from eyes as she thought, "I was played by Trunks and in no way he had real intentions of proposing to me. I did love him to my whole heart and felt for him which I had never felt for any other guy in this world. How can he cheat me? Is money capable of cheating and illtreating others? I need to go back home as soon as this marriage is over."
With all these thoughts, She stayed in her room until Bulla came and took her for the Breakfast. Meanwhile Trunks was wondering that how much shock that Pan would have been knowing that he is the VP of the Capsule Corps., suddenly. He was sure that he messed up things with her and considering her simplicity and the image of him in tabloids, she might probably not take it well.
They met each other in the dining hall and had their breakfast and he left for office. Bulla asked Pan if she wanted to go to the headquarters as she said she had a friend over there. Pan refused saying she would like to go later and not today. Bulla thought may be she is still tired from yesterday's party. Pan stayed in the room for the rest of the day saying she is feeling sick and do not want to go out. The whole day she was thinking about just one thing and to be precise one person, Trunks.
In the evening, Trunks came back home earlier than usual and got himself freshen up. He went to Pan and said that he wanted to speak to her. She refused saying that "I do really wish that we should not have met in the past. I trusted your words completely and then you just played me all the time and I don't even know that. I was so happy when you proposed me and now I see all of that were merely an acting just like you would have done with other girls. I will be off once your sister's marriage ceremonies are completed and we would never be able to see each other ever again. I do not have any feelings for you any more and we have nothing to talk over that."
Pan started crying and her face was all red with her sudden outburst. Trunks could not handle that anymore. He came closer to her and said he started loving her from the very moment he saw her. Also he asked her if she really do not have any feelings for him for which she nodded her head as a No. Trunks grabbed her closer to him and took her for a deep kiss which Pan resisted in the start but later gave in. When she came back to her senses, she moved away from him and started crying. Trunks asked Pan, "Are you still going to refuse your feelings for me? I will wait for you forever now that I have seen your feelings towards me."
Pan stammered to say anything further and just sat in the corner of the bed for over some time. This was her first kiss with her first love which should be dramatic as she had read in the novels. But the situation for her is so much different than she had expected. Trunks left to his room thinking about her and that he is the one who made her cry. When he kissed her, he felt only her and the whole world around is forgotten. He could not smile for this situation either as this kiss made her cry even harder while that should have been a happy moment for them.
~~~~~~~Girl's Chitchat~~~~~~
Bulla came to Pan's room and started talking about so many things. Bulla volunteered to take pan around for sightseeing since she had not seen anything in the city. She took her to so many places in the city, but Pan was only halfhearted over all the places. With little of shopping, they came back home in the evening. Over everything, Pan was excited when she heard that Bulma has a small lab built inside the house for her inventions. She wanted to go over there and see by herself and asked Bulla to take her there.
They started speaking all random things and suddenly Bulla asked Pan, "Hey Pan, did you see my brother in the party? What do you think about him?"
"I met with him when Goten introduced him to me."
"What do you think about him? You know he is popular among all the girls all these years."
"Yeah. I could see through it in him."
"You know what he had been off for so many months in the past and he had become so much alive after he went for a event in the US Capsule Corps., office. I suppose some magic happened over there."
"What do you mean by off? Just now you said he is famous among girls and why would he be off?"
"You did not understand what I said. Most of the girls came to my house to flirt with him and you had seen Marron in the party who wanted me to persuade him to date her. He was never interested in anyone and had kept to himself in all these years. The whole world may think that he is a playboy, but I know my brother very well. Even in the college days, many girls approached him and he will eventually breakup with them. He is still the most eligible bachelor around in the country."
Pan was lost in her thoughts. She wondered that this means that whatever he had told her were true and he did not lie to her about his dating in the college. Out of curiosity Pan asked, "From what I heard your brother was a playboy and this does not make sense why he could not date anyone. To be frank, he is handsome, great looking and as you said he is the Capsule Corps., VP."
Bulla smiled and said, "That is what happens to the Saiyan men. They will find their soulmate and can only truly love them. Maybe he is yet to find his soulmate in his case. He will figure it out sooner or later."
"What do you mean by Saiyan men? Did he serve in army or so." Bulla just remembered that Pan is not aware of the Saiyan heritage. Bulla tried to change the subject but Pan wanted to know more on Saiyans. She just remembered in the Party that Picollo said the same thing about Saiyans and that her father had stopped speaking further on that subject.
"Bulla, I really wanted to know about this Saiyan thing. I heard people whispering about this in the welcome party but I thought it was some fun or play. It so seems like everyone is hiding something from me."
"Pan, no one is trying to hide any details from you. Gohan wanted privacy and that all of our family and the friends gave him that which he deserved for many reasons."
"I do not really see a deal in giving privacy to our family. What is the problem in keeping touch with the family and friends? Also I see that now you are trying to change the subject about the saiyans."
"Hmmm Pan, I think it is best that you ask your father about this further. I am really sorry."
Pan quickly dialed in and reached her father and demanded him to give her the most deserved answers for all that is hidden from her. Gohan could see the determination in her words but he was not sure if she can accept those facts. He said, "We will meet in Bulma's house tomorrow. Until then you take good care of you and the bride."
Gohan and Videl decided that they should tell Pan about all the Saiyan heritage and all that had happened in the past. She informed Bulma the same and made her aware of the current situation such that in case Pan asks something in the meanwhile Bulma can manage.
~~~~~~~~~~~`Pan and Trunks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan stood in the balcony thinking what all these people are hiding from her. She was so happy just then when she remembered the kiss Trunks gave her. She totally forgot the anger she had on him with this single kiss and she could not understand this kind of bonding in between them.
Trunks came outside to the same balcony and their eyes met and they stood there for some time speechless. Both of them were embarrassed after their kiss earlier. Though it was a forced kiss in the beginning from Trunks, Pan also caught on it later and it had become mutual. They smiled at each other and went to their rooms and had a good night sleep with both of them on their dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Morning at Capsule Corps.,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan woke up and got freshen up and came down for breakfast where she saw her whole family gathered up in the dining table. Trunks was walking all the way through the fridge and took some milk and the sandwiches prepared for the breakfast. Vegeta was also seen eating the breakfast alongside Goku and Gohan. Videl was afraid on how to reveal the complete truth to her and so called up on these people who could chill Pan out in case she burst out of fear or anger.
Pan smiled at them and suddenly she could see serious faces of Videl, Gohan and Bulma. Trunks could not understand the tension around in the room and called Bulla to know the details. Bulla informed him too about the queries she got from Pan and this should be part of it.
Pan started speaking taking of the silence in the room. "So Dad, What is this Saiyan thing that many people were speaking in our welcome party. Bulla said that you will explain me. I feel that you are all hiding something from me. I can accept any fact and please tell me."
"Pan, it is nothing serious to worry about. We are from Saiyan heritage which could be like a family tree."
Vegeta started laughing at Gohan's words, "Brats, Are you kidding me? We Saiyans, are the powerful beings in the whole universe and you had hidden all the truth from your daughter all these years."
Pan looked at Gohan and he turned towards Videl and Bulma expecting support. Bulma started, "Come on kid. I can explain. Saiyans are from the planet Vegeta which was destroyed long ago. Your grandpa was from that planet and he married your grandma. Your father is a part Saiyan and you are quarter.
"Do you mean that I am an alien?" Her eyes started dripping tears and Trunks wanted to speak up but Bulma walked towards her and hugged her.
"Nothing to worry dear. Just think that your grandma married a man from a different country and thus their children will have both the traits. You would have read this in the biology."
"But this is so much different." She started crying now. Videl came and holded her. Trunks wanted to show her affection but this is a public place and he has to act as such. Pan ran off to her room and locked her inside. She would not understand how it is possible for a alien to live in earth. May there are playing with her.
At the dining hall, all the elders were discussing on how to explain Pan further. Vegeta plainly stated, "Just tell her everything." Which earned him a glare from Bulma. Trunks left the place carrying some food in his hands. Vegeta saw that and understood Trunks is taking food to Pan and smiled. When leaving Vegeta said, "Women, Just have patience. Give her a day or two and then you can explain and then she will accept it. She is a Saiyan after all. Trust me."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Trunks and Pan~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Trunks came to Pan's guest room and knocked the door. She opened the door and let him inside. Trunks stated, "Knock, Knock, Have your breakfast Pan. Or should I call you Panny darling?" Her face become pink as she heard him say darling. She was still confused about what were all told to her.
"Trunks, this is not the time to make fun of me. I am confused about all these alien Saiyan men."
"Okay. Cool down. I want you to have your breakfast first and then I will answer all your questions if you agree to give me what I ask of you. Do we have a deal?" He smiled and locked the door.
Pan was stunned and gathered her words and asked "What do you want? Why are you locking the door?"
"So if I ask, Will you give me anything I ask of?" Trunks questioned her again. Pan started smiling now and all that of the original discussion is now forgotten. Trunks started feeding breakfast to her and she did not resist to anything and just subsided.
Trunks asked Pan, "I want to ask you something. But I want you to answer me truthfully. Will you?"
"Sure. I will" She smiled at him now.
"Hmmm., Yesterday You said you were so happy when you proposed me. I did propose heartfully which I had never done to any girl in the past. You are the first woman I ever confessed even if you believe it or not."
Trunks paused for a while and continued, "You are my first love. The girls forced themselves on me and during my teens I felt that was proud and I went with it. Do you hate me when you heard that I am CEO of the Capsule Corps., You obviously will as I know how tabloids write about me and trust me they are not true."
Pan came closer to him and hugged him. She stared at his blue eyes and he also reflected the same. Pan said, "You were my first true love. I was angry at you because I felt deep betrayal that you never told me who you are. To be frank I did not hate you ever."
She pulled him near and kissed him the same way he did earlier. Their kiss was so passionate that either of him did not want to give up. They stepped apart for the lack of breath. She stopped and then said smiling, "I just kissed the same way you kissed me. This is second kiss in all my life, and I think I am more good at it now."
Trunks responding quickly holding her tight, "If you wish, we can practice all our life until we get a perfect kiss. Just tell me that you will marry me."
Pan could not say anymore and was standing like a stone for a while thinking that she is being proposed for marriage. She came back to her senses and then she said, "Come on Trunks. Are you kidding me? From what I know we need to know each other better. We never went for a proper dating either and our parents should agree on our marriage. And again, Marriage is out of question now as I have lot of things to achieve in my life before getting settled."
Trunks was looking at her eyes cheerfully and said, "Let us get married and go to lots of dates and get to know each other. Take over the company and be the VP of Capsule Corps., and this will satisfy your wishes too. I suppose we are cool now."
"Why are speaking about marriage suddenly. Are you trying to divert the topic of the Saiyan inheritance that Dad and your mom were speaking about?"
"Did I not tell you that I will answer all of your questions? Since it is already late for my office, I will explain you in the night. Everyone is concerned about you and they may feel uneasy around you if you are going to keep up inside your room. Don't ask any more about this except me." Trunks spoke like a mother speaking to her child who is crying for the candy.
