Determined to be Together
Chapter 6
Pan
I must have cried myself to dehydration before I finally stopped. That may have been the reason I headed straight to the middle of the park, the only place without trees, The Fountain. Just, The Fountain. No one had ever really named it anything, so that was what it was called. It was a really pretty place, but deserted like the rest of the park. I crossed my arms against myself, as if that was going to protect me from the pain, and sat down in the red bed of flowers, be careful not to crush any.
Trunks
I was flying over the park when I noticed an orange flag in the middle of a field of red. Pan, finally. {What is she doing in the park?} I floated down, not making a sound when I landed on one foot, and hid my ki. {Leave her no time to run away} I walked over to her, trying not to crush any of the flowers. Just before I could take her in my arms, she turned around, looking surprised, but she wasn t fast enough. I had a hold of her before she even had a chance to run.
She squirmed and cursed at me in at least six different languages, but I had her. Then she made a growling noise and bit me on the shoulder. Hard! I almost let go of her, but I caught myself in time and tightened my hold on her. {She's not going anywhere}
"Damn you, Trunks! Leave me alone."
"Not until you hear me out!"
"Why should I? You kept the truth from me! That is practically lying!"
"I was wrong all right?! But that doesn't mean I don't love you. I want us to be together!"
"You, damn you, but you said you loved me! Why didn't you tell me?" She asked this looking at me for the first time, and I noticed that her eye lashes had tears hanging off of them.
"Because you ran every other girl out of my head. None of them were important enough to remember anyway. Do you promise not to run away so I can let go of you?"
"And if I don't?" {Kami, but she had spunk}
"Then you are going to have to rub the feeling back into my arms."
"Then I promise I won't run away."
"Good." I dropped my arms, but I didn't step away. I knew she wasn't really very comfortable because I was so tall, but I was nervous, so I needed some of that as payback.
"Pan?"
"Hm?" She looked up at me with a question in her eyes, and her arms folded across her chest defensively. I looked at her, trying to see what she was feeling, but she still had that poker mask on.
"Marry me."
She looked positively shocked, then angry, then resigned, then really sad, and then joyous. Once she went through the entire feeling circle, she went to joyous and stayed there.
"Yeah, I will. But you have to promise something."
"What?" {God save me, what could she possibly want from me}
"You have to fire Sicily."
"Done deal."
"Yes!" she yelled and jumped at me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I smiled and twirled her until she laughed, knowing we would never be torn apart.
