Hello! How ya'll doing? Here I am with another idea. This is new to me but let's see how it goes!

In the Son's house, 17-year-old Pan was celebrating in her room after doing some backflips. Her parents and grandmother out to the supermarket so the teen had the house to herself: "Ah finally! The taste of freedom again! No more school for me and my parents can leave me alone!"
Pan was excited today but even more so in the upcoming days during this summer. She was a senior soon to be graduating (much to her parents' surprise) at Orange Star Highschool with honors. The final exams were over and out of the way! The graduation ceremony was to be held soon. However, that was not important: she had all the time in the world to socialize with her dear and close childhood friends that she has been neglecting since the awful and complicated midterms!
"Let's see who can hang out with me today because Uncle Goten is so absorbed with his waifu, Paris!" Pan thought out loud with a dramatic sigh as she grabbed her cellphone from her nightstand. "That's an automatic no-no! He really should do everyone the favor to ask for her hand in marriage already because he is getting old!"
With Goten being discarded right away from the mental list, Pan then thought quietly of another available person that came into her mind that would be available to hang out with her. She speed-dialed the second person that came to her mind and she waited for a response in the other line:
"Hello?"
"Hello, Bra! What have you been up to these days?"
"Oh, nothing much. I have a new boyfriend that Mom is happy for and Dad merely approved. What do you need me for? If it is to give you that much needed girly makeover, then yes!"
"No. I'll keep my tomboy look by default, thank you," Pan's word was stern. "The girly makeover is only for cute boy emergencies. So anyways, do you wanna hang out?" She asked her best friend in hope. "I am done with all my exams so we can do anything you want except for the girly makeover!"
Bra too was finished with her final exams so she was going to celebrate by shopping until dropping at the mall with her new boyfriend. "Um, perhaps another time, Pan," her reply was honest. "My sweet boyfriend just texted me that he is going to take me shopping and spoil me like the royal Saiyan princess I am for finishing school! His family is super-rich too!"
Pan scoffed at the haughty tone because it was so typical of Bra…It was given that Bra will give the guy a run for his money eventually because she was a handful, Pan thought cynically. "Heh. You are more like royal Saiyan pain the butt!"
"Hey now!" Bra flared at the rude comment that offended her pride. However, she was able to control and cool down her father-like temper: "Changing the subject, when are we applying for the college stuff? I cannot use the term loosely that I suck at it!"
"I'll come over to your house and we'll go over that painful process together. Our SAT scores are decent enough for college entry. Dad won't leave me alone until he sees my fall semester schedule!"
"Good deal. We can talk about it tomorrow. Bye for now!" Bra said before hanging up on the other line.
Bra was immediately discarded from the mental list. Who was next to be called? Pan went without a thought to speed-dial Marron's cellphone as she ignored her gut feeling. They haven't spoken much to each other in two months because Marron became a dedicated housewife that she put her husband's needs before her own just like her grandmother, Chi Chi. At least that was Pan's opinion for Krillin and 18's little girl who had matured into a woman. Not to mention, the blonde's parents were actively involved in their only daughters' life so her marriage was successful every day.
"Good afternoon."
"Hey, Marron, please tell me that you are available."
"I'm afraid not, Pan," Marron's reply didn't have her usual positive mood. "I have my parents over here talking about something particularly important. I also need to work on preparing dinner before Trunks gets back from work."
"I see. I'll talk to you later then," Pan said before hanging her cellphone and she crossed her arms to her chest. "Ooookay. Marron has been really weird these past two months…" she said to herself. Pan then decided that she didn't want to give any further thought to the blonde's new predicament…It was all part of the marriage package, and Marron was pretty much invested in it that she had already forgotten about her childhood friends upon becoming the perfect wife material. Besides, it was a nice day out there and Pan still needed somebody to fulfill the role of spending time with her.
"There's only one person left... And he's my number one hope for this crisis!" Pan declared dramatically as she proceeded to speed dial her last and only hope, and she didn't wait long for a reply from the other line.
"Good afternoon and thank you for calling Capsule Corporation. How may I direct your call?"
"Hi, Khara. Can I speak to Mr. Big Shot himself?" Pan's voice was more casual rather than polite to the receptionist of Capsule Corp.
"Oh, you must be Pan! Yes, Trunks is just getting out of his afternoon meeting with the investors. Give me just one moment!"
…
"Hello. This is Trunks speaking. State your business," the voice on the other phone line was serious and business-like because his time was gold and not to be wasted.
Pan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing that voice that she longed to hear for a while: "Trunks! Long time no see!" she said in pure excitement.
"Oh Pan!" Trunks spoke as his usual self that he broke his character as the CEO of the prestigious and technological company. "It's so great to hear from you! How have you been? Did you finish your high school finals?"
"I just did! Everything is great, thanks for asking! How is work for you?"
"Same as always. I had a meeting presenting a new project development for the future of the company. Mom was there too, and she couldn't stop cheering how I did it so well because the investors are willing to invest double on the new project."
"That is awesome! I hope everything works great on that new project! Do you want to tell me more about it?"
Trunks and Pan spent an hour or two talking in order to catch up on their current lives that Pan was enjoying herself and Trunks was so relaxed on the other line that he had gradually forgotten about work and other responsibilities. They laughed together here and there in between different topics of conversations. That was until Pan made this question:
"So Trunks, um, is it too much to ask if, um… we hang out this time?" Pan asked nervously because of her top-secret crush that she has been harboring since hitting puberty to the handsome and career-minded hybrid man.
Trunks thought for a moment or two…He sighed as he felt that he was going to owe the tomboy teen another round of apology. He did in fact loved spending time with her just like in their old adventures with Goku in space. However, he had to decline her request regrettably because of his priorities as a grown adult: "Listen, Pan, I would love to hang out with you for old time's sake but I need to finish work now so I can go home ASAP tonight. Marron said that she had something very important to tell me that her parents are gonna be there as well. 18 would break my legs if I skipped it or came late from work! I promise that next time I'll make it up to you!"
Pan's mouth went wide open in shock: "But Trunks! That's what you said last time!" she said almost on the verge of tears.
"I know and I'm sorry that I couldn't make it the other time. Ever since I got married, it has been hectic to find a balance between work and social life! I'm not sure if I am able to get this marriage system right! All right now, I'll talk to you later! Call me after tomorrow if you need me!"
Pan felt how heart broke as she stared at her cellphone and the sound of dial…Not being able to find anybody else to hang out with, Pan spent her day locked up her room with headphones on her ears as her mind drifted with the playing music on the shuffle mode of her cellphone. Trunks remained on her wandering mind for the rest of the day...
A/N: Oh dear, what's gonna happen next to poor Pan? Will Trunks be able to finally spend time with her? Find out next time!
