Hello Katie here! Heehee I am kinda in a good mood so I don't feel like writing anything depressing. Heehee. I know something you all don't know! Heehee. Pan's back again, as you all know (glares at everyone that hasn't read And the Rose Lives). Please read Growing a Dieing Rose, then Planting a Dead Rose, than A Dead Seed Sprouts, then And the Rose Lives, and then read this one.
I'm sorry if the ending of And the Rose lives sucked. I was tired when I finished that one off. SORRY!!!!!!!
The disclaimer is normal I don't own Dragonball so don't sue.
Please read and review
The Rose
By Katie
And the rose lives
"So what's your answer?" she asked smiling.
"I love you."
Pan leaned forwards and touched her forehead with his.
"I know." She leaned her face towards his and brought her lips to his, rapping her delicate pearl white arms around his neck.
Trunks pushed his lips onto hers carefully, as not to disturb the soft flesh of her lips upon his. He smiled inside himself as he rapped his strong unweilding arms around her waste and carefully leaned back against the bed. He broke apart from her and smiled.
Pan smiled gracefully at the handsome saiyjin prince.
And with life comes the first stem above ground
Trunks breathed deeply. Pan's delicate smile touched the inside of his soul, breaking the stone case around his heart. He felt a warm sensation surge through him. He smiled at the thought of what that must mean.
FALSHBACK
"Father," Trunks gasped out as he ducked a swing from his father as they sparred.
"Yes?" Vegeta asked not paying much attention ducking a blow from his son.
"What does love feel like?" Trunks asked as he took another swipe at his father, landing his fist against his father's cheek.
"What does love feel like?" Vegeta repeated.
"Yes."
Vegeta paused for a moment and thought. Trunks took advantage of his father's hesitation and landed a swift kick to his stomach.
"So what's your answer?" Trunks asked floating hi above his father whom struggled to his feet.
Vegeta smiled. "A girl on your mind?" he asked in an annoying tone Trunks had never heard his father use before.
"Maybe." Trunks dogged an attack by his father and swiftly dove forwards, fists outstretched.
"Like something I can't quite explain." Vegeta answered grabbing his son's fists and throwing him neatly into the wall.
"Well that's not much help." Trunks slumped down and relaxed a bit. Now how was he supposed to know what he felt towards Pan.
"Well all I can say is when you fall in love for real you will know." Vegeta answered lowering his power level and grabbing a soda from the fridge he had bugged his wife into putting into the gravity chamber. He swiftly grabbed a coke and threw it to his son while cracking open his.
"How will I know?"
Vegeta shook his head plunking himself down beside his son.
"Well I know when I fell in love with your mother I was staring into her eyes. I suddenly felt like the ice or the stone that had been incasing my heart shattered and a wonderful warm sensation fled through me. Why so much interest all of a sudden? Anything important on your mind?"
"Na, I just want to know incase I ever do find my perfect mate."
Vegeta smiled.
"Well ya better hurry up. Your almost 30 ya know."
Trunks shook his head as he thought of the age difference between him and Pan.
"I know, Papa, I know." Trunks sighed and took a sip form his coke and leaned back. "I know."
END OF FLASHBACK
Trunks outstretched his arms and rapped them around Pan and stood pulling her with him. She smiled as he lifted her into his arms and held her close to him.
"Your coming with me." He whispered lightly into her ear.
Pan nodded and giggled.
"Alright." She smiled slightly and leaned closer in towards Trunks.
And after the stem a bud begins to appear
Trunks held Pan close as they flew over the forest where Pan had died. He held her close so she couldn't look down incase she was still insecure about going anywhere near there.
"Where are we going Trunks-chan?" she asked quizzically.
"Somewhere." Trunks smiled as he blasted forwards.
A few minutes later Trunks landed, Pan still nestled in his arms. He carefully pushed her tiny delicate face into his chest so she couldn't see where e was taking her.
"Trunks?" she spoke but it only came out as a muffled cry.
"Just hold on Pan." He whispered.
Trunks put her down after a moment. Before Pan opened her eyes she felt the hard ground beneath her, it wasn't soft like the ground of a forest but hard like a hard wood floor.
Pan slowly crept her eyes open and stared around her.
"Wow." Pan gasped as she looked around her. She was in a quaint little cabin in the mountains with a tiny wood fire place off to its left side, a little wood stove and a tiny double bed set off to one side. "Where are we?"
"It's a little cabin in a sector of the mountains I purchased a little while ago." Trunks smiled at the look on Pan's face. "I thought it could be our little get away when you got old enough."
Pan smiled wickedly up at Trunks.
"Well if it's ours there are no rules."
"No."
"Well let's use that little power." Trunks rapped her arms around Trunks and jumped. He caught her easily and nodded slightly answering Pan's unasked question. Trunks broke apart from Pan and stared into her glistening eyes.
"This will change everything." He said slowly looking into her young innocent eyes.
"You promise?"
"I promise." Trunks continued to stalk forwards towards the bed.
"This will be something you shall never forget."
Then a rose
Pan awoke later that morning. Trunks was sitting beside the fire in a small wood bench placed in front of the fire. He turned and faced Pan and smiled.
"You slept late." He smiled.
"I did? What time is it?" she asked quietly.
"9:00 am."
Pan gasped.
"9?"
"Ya."
"Uh oh." She gulped and stood, pulling on her clothes and quickly pushing her fingers through her hair to tidy it.
"What's wrong?" he asked doing a little fishhook style eyebrow pose.
"Everyone'll wonder where I am." She answered wistfully rushing towards the door.
Trunks stood and grabbed her wrist.
"Do you know how long you've been dead?" he asked enjoying the confusion being written clearly on her face.
"A few days." She answered trying to pull her wrist free.
"Try a few months."
Pan glared shocked at Trunks.
"Oh."
"Ya oh." Trunks pulled Pan in close to him. He let go of her wrist and put his hand under her chin pulling it up to face him.
"Why do you think I was so surprised to see you and gratified to see you alive?"
Pan lowered her eyes.
"I still have to go see them all." She trailed off.
Trunks rapped his arms around her and picked her up once again.
"I'll give you a lift."
"But I can fly…"
"I'll give you a lift." He said demandingly.
Pan sighed and leaned into his chest.
It was good to be home…
Everyone had been thrilled to see Pan. Bra had denied the fact she had used the dragonballs to bring Pan back and said it was Trunks. That made everyone admit their love.
Trunks had been very grateful to his sister. She really understood the two of them and how their hearts were.
"I'm just happy to see you two together." She smiled.
"I owe you Bra." Pan said gratefully.
"No you don't Pan. Listen seeing you alive in enough pay back for me. You see? I don't need anything in return."
Pan and Trunks looked up at each other and turned to face Bra.
"I still owe you one." Pan smiled and walked off hand in hand with Trunks.
