*Around The World 2*

(Where we left off.)

"So, what do you want to do?" Trunks asked Pan after her uncle left with Marron.

"I was thinking that we could go outside and look up at the stars. It's a beautiful night."

"I would like that, especially when my company is such a beautiful goddess." said Trunks. He stood up and offered his hand to hers, more than willing to help her get to her feet.

"You're too sweet."

"Only when I see something I like."

"Oh, so you like what you see?"

"'Like,' is not the word for what I feel towards what I see. The word is extraordinary, and stunning."

"Hehe."

"Do you like what you see?" asked Trunks.

"Definitely, but my word is 'desire.'"

"Huh? Don't say stuff like that."

"Is something wrong? Hehehe..."

"Funny." he said walking side by side to Pan.

"What?" said Pan with a huge smile, across her face.

"This isn't funny. You like messing with a man's emotions." he said stopping in front of her.

"Yes, and it is funny. You should have seen your face. Hehe... I've never seen a guy turn such a dark red before. Hehe..."

"Whatever..." he said, waking up to the edge of the ship and leaning on the rail. His gaze was fixed on the sparkling sky.

"Hehe...I'm sorry. I can't help myself sometimes." she said standing next to him.

"It's cool." he said looking down at her.

"You're different than most girls, do you know that?" he asked.

"I try to be." she said, confused at the sudden change in their conversation.

"Yeah, it's different with most of the girls I know. They are always trying to look good, or trying to empress some guy. It's just not my kind of thing." he said, looking back up at the sky.

"That's funny, can I assume you are the cute guy they're always trying to empress. "She said trying to keep from laughing.

" Yeah, yeah. Laugh it off." he said, glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.

"But it's true, isn't it?" she asked still keeping her eye on him.

"Well, most of them do." he said.

"You sound disappointed. Most guys would be thrilled." she commented.

"Well, you thought wrong." he said with a hint of anger, as he turned and looked at her.

"Cool down. I meant nothing by it." she said waving her hands in front of her.

"Look, don't get me wrong, most guys would love for a girl to be trying to empress them, but most girls are after the guy, and in my case they want my money." he said strongly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you upset."

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out the way it sounded." he said looking at her.

"Hehe, yes you did. But it's cool, I have to learn to think before I open my mouth." she said facing the pool side.

"No. I mean, don't do that. That's one of the things I like about you." he said, blushing and looking away as she turned and stared at him with a large smile on her face.

"Oh..." she said with amusement.

"No, I mean..." he started trying to explain his words.

"You're too Trunks, you need to relax. Are you always like this?" she asked.

"Well, sometimes." he said blushing.

"Hehe, you're too sweet. Trunks, you're a cool guy, and I like you. But you definitely need to relax. I'm not going to bite." she said smiling.

"Relax? I don't know the meaning of that word. In my life, this is a rare occasion." he said seriously.

"You're kidding, right?" she asked.

"No, I'm not. Going on this vacation wasn't even my idea. The only reason I'm here is because Bra and Marron wanted to get away from our life styles. Otherwise, I would be inside my office working on some papers. It's my life." he said.

"Damn, why don't you just quit?" asked Pan.

"Well I wish it was that easy, but it's what my mother wants." he said.

"Hehe."

"What?" asked Trunks, as he watched Pan laughing.

"Nothing." she said still laughing.

"Yeah, whatever." he said walking away.

"Hey, where are you going?" she asked walking beside him.

"I'm going to bed." he said, looking at her with an angry face.

"Trunks, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh." she said grabbing his arm, and looking into his sky blue eyes. As their eyes met they froze... both getting closer, and closer to the other. Neither of them noticed the people staring at the two.

******

"I can't believe she was laughing at me. Even though she does look beautiful. Stop it... She's insulting me. I don't have to stand around and listen to her. It wasn't funny, and she shouldn't have thought it was. She doesn't know how it feels to have people act like they care about you, just to find out they were only interested in your money and status. It's not so glamorous. I'm tired of people always saying how lucky I am to have this life style. Well, I'm not. I would rather have people like me for me, not for anything other than that."

*******

"I was having too much fun at his expense. I wasn't trying to get him upset, just to relax. He is strange. Most guys I know are always trying to get into a girl's pants, but he hasn't made a move yet. Well, maybe a little flirting. Hell, I started that. He's too sweet, he needs to speak up. He hates his job, but he won't tell his mother. Does he really think that she wouldn't let him get out of it? She can't be that mean. I shouldn't have laughed. He's really pissed. He just walked away, I'll tell him I'm sorry, and I am. He is so cute when he's angry. I can tell he doesn't lose it much. Sometimes you need to just let everything out, or you will go nuts... I grabbed his arm, and I was face to face with the most gorgeous sky blue eyes that I have ever seen. I couldn't help but to lose myself in them. I can't believe I'm attracted to him as much as I am. He is nothing like me, or the guys I've dated. He is sweet, and shy, and yet, he has that look in his eyes of a warrior. He has girls all over him like a second skin, why would he like someone like me? Even though he says he isn't like that, I just don't see him liking me that way. Plus, we've only known each other for a few hours. I can't have fallen for him all ready, could I?"

Both Trunks and Pan were in their own thoughts, neither caring of their surroundings, or that they were getting closer to each other, as if they were about to kiss.

"Kiss her." said a woman from the crowd, that found herself around them. This made them snap out of their trance.

"What?" asked Trunks, looking at the crowd around him, then at Pan. Pan was still dazed, but aware of what was going on.

"Kiss her." said someone else from the crowd.

"So, what should we do?" asked Trunks.

"Hehe, well... maybe you should do what the people want." she said with a huge smile.

"Oh, umm..." he was cut off by Pan, putting one finger over his lips.

"Just kiss me."

And with that, he did.

The crowd went wild and applauded the couple. Well, they weren't really a couple, but maybe that will soon change. Trunks kissed Pan, at first it started as a small kiss, but neither seemed to want to separate from the kiss, that was growing passionate. Trunks' arms were around Pan's waste, and Pan put her arms around Trunks' neck. This pleased every one who was watching the two, but after a while, people were beginning to feel uncomfortable. It seemed that the two were not going to break off the kiss anytime soon. Every one left the two, with a smile. Trunks and Pan were too much into each other to even care who was watching, or that they left. It was the crowd that suggested the kiss. They were so close you would have thought they were about to do it on their own. Deep within the crowd, were two other people, watching their family members kissing the other.

"How long can they keep that up?" asked Goten, to Bra. Who was enjoying the scenery.

"I don't know, I've never seen my brother be so direct." she said trying to keep from laughing, but it couldn't be helped. She burst out in laughter. This made both Trunks and Pan jump.

"What?" he said trying to calm himself.

"Hehehe..."

"What's up with you?" asked Goten to Pan, who couldn't stop laughing.

"Hehe... Nothing." she said.

"Okay, whatever. I don't want to know anyway." said Goten.

"I do." Stated Bra.

"Bra?" said Trunks, as Goten grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the two.

"We're going to be in the lobby. Come join us when you two are done." he said, walking away.

"But..." Yelled Bra, as Goten pulled her with him.

"It's about time." stated Pan, as she leaned on the rail.

"Yeah..." Trunks said. There was a moment of silence.

"Umm, I'm sorry." he said. Pan looked at him and smiled.

"Don't be, I'm not. Let's just go and get something to eat." she said to him.

"Yeah, I wonder were Marron is. She was with Goten earlier." he said as he started to walk.

"Well, just ask them when we get inside." she said, as they passed the pool.

Okay, sorry it took so long, and for being short. I have been working on my site. Well, let me know what you think? Next part, out when I can....
