Chapter 3
Author's Note:
Thank you to all who reviewed my story. I do love reading what you have to say. Well, here is the next chapter. I hope you like it.
It's been 10 years since the night Trunks and Pan danced. Pan is fifteen now and a Junior. Trunks is sixteen and a Senior. They both attend the same high school.
* The Son House- Pan's Bedroom *
"Mom! Do you know where I left my math book?!" asked a yelling Pan, searching her whole room for the small book.
"Honey, it's under your bed!" Videl yelled from downstairs.
"Found it! Thanks!" said Pan, putting her math book into her backpack and heading downstairs.
*******
* Downstairs *
"Where do you think you're going young lady?" asked Videl.
"I'm going to meet Trunks and Bra at the library."
"Okay dear, but I want you to be here for dinner."
"I will, bye." said Pan, walking to the door and flying off.
*******
* Meanwhile- At Capsule Corp. *
"Bra, hurry up." said Trunks, grabbing his keys.
"I'm coming! Pan isn't going to die if we're a little late." said Bra, coming down the stairs all dressed up.
"Bra we're going to the library, not a party."
"Well, you never know who might show up."
"Yeah... whatever. Let's go." said Trunks, walking out the front door.
******
* The Library *
* Pan's POV *
I arrived at the library and Trunks and Bra still weren't there. Knowing Bra, she's probably dressing like she's going to a party. That girl is such a flirt. Since I had time, I decided to sit down and start studying. That's when Marron came up to me.
"Hey Pan!"
"Hey Marron." said Pan, not so happy.
"Pan, can I ask you something?"
"I guess."
"Well, do you know who Trunks is going to the Senior dance with?"
"No, I don't. He hasn't really talked about it."
"Oh..."
"But he'll be here in a while you could ask him." said Pan, taking out her math book.
"Ask me what?" said Trunks behind the two girls.
"Hey Marron!" said Bra.
"Hey Bra! Umm... well, I wanted to know if you were going with anyone to the Prom." said Marron, looking at Trunks.
* Trunks POV *
What? No, she can't do this to me. What do I tell her? I mean, Marron is sweet, but I don't feel that way about her. With a face like that, how can I hurt her though? What do I say? Well, I was going to ask the one person I have loved since I was six, but she thinks of me only as a friend. Look at Pan. She looks beautiful, and she's giving me a look that I just can't place.
"Well, no... I haven't asked anyone." said Trunks, now looking at Marron.
"That's great! So, would you like to go with me?"
"I... guess..."
"Great! Well, call me later so we can talk about it. Bye!" said Marron, walking away and jumping for joy.
"What have I gotten myself into?" said Trunks sitting down.
"Trunks, if you didn't want to go with her, then why did you say yes?" asked Bra who was looking around for someone.
"I don't know, I just can't seem to say no." said Trunks putting his head down.
* Pan's POV *
He said yes! Maybe he likes her. No, but why? I'm such a fool after all these years. I'm not sure what this feeling is that I keep getting every time Marron is around Trunks. I mean, he's my best friend, that's all. Maybe there is more. Yeah right. Trunks doesn't see me that way, but damn. He does look handsome. Poor baby, going to a dance with a girl he would rather not go with.
"Trunks, you're such a playboy." said Pan looking at her friend.
"Yeah right. More like a boy being played!" said Bra looking at Pan.
Both girls laughed
"Yeah, this is so funny. Do you think I like all these girls going after me? Well I don't because there is only one..." began Trunks, looking at Pan.
"Only one what?" said Pan looking at Trunks.
At that moment, both just looked into the eyes of the other.
"Hello in there!" said Bra, waving a hand in front of the two.
"What?" said Pan, now looking at Bra.
"Well, I was going to say that I will see you guys later..." said Bra standing up to go.
"What? Where the hell you think your going?" asked Trunks.
"Look, I never said that I was going to study with you guys."
"So why did you come?"
"Because, big brother, I needed a ride."
"Yeah, yeah. Well, you'd better find a ride back home because I'm not going wait here all day for you to get back!"
"No problem bro, I have a ride." said Bra, leaving the table and heading to meet someone.
For an hour, Trunks and Pan just studied together, never actually looking at each other.
"God I can't do another math problem or my head is going to fall off." said Pan, putting her things away.
"So, would you like to get something to eat?" asked Trunks, looking at the girl in front of him.
"I can't. I told mom that I would be home for dinner." said Pan, getting up.
"Maybe I can give you a ride." said Trunks doing the same.
"Sure."
Both left
***********
* The Son House *
"Thanks for the ride." said Pan, stepping out of the car.
"It's no problem."
"Well, bye."
"Umm... Pan?"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to do something tomorrow?"
"I would love that."
"Great! Then I'll call you later."
"Pan honey, is that Trunks?" asked Videl from the door.
"Umm... yes Mom."
"Well, invite him in for dinner."
"Well, Trunks would you like to come in for dinner?"
"If you don't mind."
"Trunks! You just said you were hungry, and heck no, I don't mind!"
"Okay... Okay... You don't have to yell." said Trunks, getting out of his car.
"This way, after dinner you could buy me dessert!" said Pan, walking into the house.
"Sure." said a happy Trunks right behind her.
"Hello Trunks. I'm glad you chose to join us." said Videl, walking behind them.
"Well, how could I refuse good food?"
"I'm glad." said Videl smiling the whole time.
********
* The Kitchen *
In the kitchen were Gohan, Goku and Chichi.
"So, where's Uncle, Grandma?"
"Your uncle went on date with some girl."
"Yeah. He seems to be really into this girl because he's been dating her for three weeks now." said Goku as the food was being placed in front of him.
"Goku! Our son is out with some girl we don't even know. What if he's hurt?" said an angry Chichi looking at her husband.
"Chichi, Goten is eighteen and he can take care of himself." said Goku in between gulps.
The entire table jumped as a loud smack resounded within the house.
"Don't give me that bull! He might be eighteen, but as long as he lives in my house, he will always be my little boy! I don't want him coming home with some... bimbo! My baby needs to marry some rich young lady with class, not a girl off the street. If every thing about her was okay, he wouldn't be hiding her from us, now would he?" asked Chichi, now calmed, but pissed at her husband.
"But...!"
"Why me? What have I done to deserve this? My baby is going to ruin his life over some girl." said Chichi, now in tears.
"Honey, please stop crying." said Goku rubbing his head.
Meanwhile, Trunks, Pan, Gohan and Videl all had sweat drops running down their heads.
"Honey, if it'll make you feel better, do you want me to go find him?"
"What? You would do that?" asked Chichi, looking at Goku.
"Yes. So, I'll go look for him and you can stay here. I'll leave after dinner." said Goku eating his food.
"Now!" yelled Chichi sitting down.
At that, Goku was out the door in search for his youngest son.
"So Trunks. How have you been?" asked Chichi, now perfectly happy.
"Well, I've been fine." said Trunks with a confused expression.
"Oh that's nice. Any girlfriends?"
"No!"
"So, who are you going to take to your prom?"
* Pan's POV *
Marron, God I'm starting to hate that name. Grandma what are you up to?
"Marron." said Pan in a voice that sounded disappointed.
* Trunks' POV *
Did Pan just sound disappointed? Can she feel something more than just friendship between us?
"Pan, is something wrong?"
"No!"
"Well then. Chichi, I didn't know Goten was dating anyone." said Videl, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, some girl. He doesn't like talking about her."
"Maybe he just doesn't want anyone butting into his business." said Gohan.
"Gohan!" scolded Videl.
"What?"
"No, that's not it." said Chichi, now looking at her first born.
"Then why would he not want us to know?" asked Pan, joining the conversation.
"I don't know, but I intend to find out!" said a determined Chichi.
"Yeah, I feel sorry for Goten." said Trunks, laughing.
"And why is that?" asked Pan.
"Because when Chichi is through with him, he won't be able to go out on any more dates. In fact, I doubt he'll even be able to walk. However, that's nothing compared to what Goku is going to do to him. If there's one thing I've learned after living with my father for so many years, it's to never take food away from a Saiyan." said Trunks, bursting into laughter, along with everyone else.
*********************************************************************************
* Trunks' POV *
After dinner, me and Pan went out for dessert. The whole dinner was odd. I mean, Chichi was asking me all kinds of questions about Marron and I. I told her a hundred times that I was just taking her to the prom and there was nothing more going on. Gohan and Videl then started chewing on me about how bonding, whatever that is, is for life and how I can't just bond with someone and forget about them. At that point, I was totally confused. What was he talking about? That wasn't all that happened. Pan was quiet the whole time. I didn't like seeing her like that, but she said there was nothing wrong. Of course, I've known her my whole life and, well, she's not that very good at lying. I intend to find out what's bothering her.
* Pan's POV *
Today has been the worst day of my life. First, Marron had to ask Trunks to the prom. I still don't get why I'm so mad, but I just don't like the idea of them together. Then, Grandma had to ask a million questions about the whole thing. Then last, Dad and Mom were making no sense about something called bonding. I think they need to stop talking to Vegeta so much. I couldn't take it anymore, so I excused Trunks and I from the dinner table and told them I would be home later. When we arrived at the ice cream shop, I couldn't even look at him. It feels so weird now. I don't get it. Why is this happening to us? We've been best friends since I could talk, but now it seems like we're falling apart. I don't like this feeling.
*********
* In the Car on the Way to the Son House *
"Pan, is something wrong?"
"No."
"Look, you can't lie to me. I know you better than anyone, and I know something is wrong!"
"It's... just..."
"Pan, you can tell me anything."
"I know! It's just, I keep getting the feeling like were losing out friendship."
"What? Pan, nothing can ever keep us from being friends. I mean, we've been through everything together. I wouldn't allow anything or anyone to take away what you and I have."
"But... you're graduating soon and..."
"Pan, I'm not going anywhere. Yes I'm graduating, but I'm not leaving Japan!"
"But... Never mind." said Pan, looking outside the window.
"Pan, just because we're getting older, doesn't mean that what we have will disappear. Far from it. I... care for you too much to ever let anything like that keep us apart." said Trunks, stopping in front of the Son house.
"I know, I just don't want to lose our friendship."
"That won't ever happen. Our friendship won't ever end, it'll only get stronger... and maybe... become something... more." said Trunks, with a blush while he was looking away from Pan.
"Yeah, thanks Trunks." said Pan, stepping out of the car.
"I'm glad you're feeling better."
"You know Trunks, everything you said is true. I don't know what I was thinking. Our friendship can only grow from here on out."
With this said, Pan dashed inside her home.
"I know..." said Trunks, riding away.
*****************
So, do you like it so far? There's still more to come. Who is this girl Goten is seeing? Well, I know!
Anyway, are our two love birds starting to feel their bond? Well, the teenage years part is going to be longer than the part with their childhood. In the next part, we'll be in the rooms of our two soon-to-be loves. I'm sorry for not putting this chapter out sooner, my computer wigged out on me. Hope to get chapter 4 and 5 out tomorrow they both will be long. Enjoy, and please review!
