Authors note: I have changed this story, so if you read it before it is not the same. I hope you like this better!

* The Restaurant *

Trunks and Pan entered the restaurant and were seated.

"Good evening. What can I get you Mr. Brief? The usual?" asked the waiter.

"Yes."

"And what about you, ma'am?"

"Umm, well… I-I'll have the same." she said, looking at the waiter with a smile.

"Are you sure ma'am? I mean..." looking worried for the young woman.

"Yes, I'm sure." she said, confused at why he was looking at her like that.

"Okay, and what would you like to drink?"

"Pepsi."

"Yes, Ma'am." said the waiter walking away.

"I can't believe you brought me to this expensive restaurant!" exclaimed Pan to Trunks, feeling uncomfortable not being dressed for the occasion.

"It has the best food in town and they can cook all the food a Saiyan can eat." said a smiling Trunks.

"Yeah, well, at least tell me what I ordered."

"A very large meal… fit for any Saiyan."

"Well, why did he ask if I was sure?"

"First, he isn't use to seeing anyone but me eat that much food. Secondly, when you ordered it, he was just wondering if you knew what you were getting yourself into."

"Well, he'll be surprised." she said, feeling a whole lot better.

"Yes, he will. I mean, you can eat more than I can." said a laughing Trunks

"Funny."

"Yeah, it is." said Trunks, enjoying his time with the young beauty in front of him. "So, how have you been?"

"I've been all right… I guess." she said, looking away.

"Oh…"

"Well, how have you been?" asked Pan, now looking at him.

"Me? I've been okay.  I'm mostly working all day and night. You know… that kind of thing."

"Don't you hate working all of the time?"

"Yeah, but I have no choice."

"Trunks, you always have a choice."

"Not when you have my mother." he laughed, Pan joining him.

"Yeah, I know. Bulma can be very persuading."

"More like demanding. If I had someone, I wouldn't work so much."

"Oh? So why haven't you gotten married, or even just attached to a girlfriend?" asked Pan.

"Well, most girls are not after me, but my money. Second, there is…" he started, looking into her brown eyes. "…a certain girl, but I… I'm too much of a coward to tell her how I feel."

"Oh, maybe you should just tell her. I mean, if I was her, I would be happy to be your girlfriend." she said with a blush, looking down.

"Really? What if I told you it is you?" he said, looking straight at her.

"What?" she said surprised, looking up." Really?" she asked with a Blush.

"Yes!" he said with a smile.

"Do you like me?" asked Trunks, concerned.

"Of…" she was caught off by the waiter, coming by their table with the food. After twenty minutes of the waiter staring at Pan for being able to eat all that food, and more, they paid and were heading out. Pan never finished her sentence, but the day is still young.

(Meanwhile-Goten's Apartment 4:30)
*Goten's POV- in his bedroom, looking at his reflection.*

Wow, I'm finally going out with Bra! I never thought she would say yes, but she did. Life couldn't be any better. After Dad left, I haven't talked or seen much of anyone and I do miss all my family and friends. I shouldn't have acted the way I did to all of them, it wasn't their fault my father left. All they did was try to help, and I pushed them away. It was hard to forget a man who has really never played a part in my life in the first place. I couldn't explain the feelings I was having. I guess, after all those times he wasn't around, those feelings finally showed themselves. Mom was devastated that he could just leave and not tell her if he was ever coming back. This infuriated me even more. She has been a good wife and played her part, but he... he was never a real husband. Yeah, he always saved Earth, but he always came back. This was different. He didn't even say goodbye, he just got up and left, like we meant nothing. How could he just do that?

I have come to except that he is gone, and that I need to get out of this miserable state and live life. I made a promise to myself that I will never do that to my family. I couldn't bare to leave them behind. I say this, and yet I walked away from everyone, but I won't do that again. Never again will my mother suffer. She has me back, and I will not run away from my problems, or those I care about.

Things will be all right. Can this be the way life will always be for us? Save the world, and forget about the ones we are supposed to protect? It just can't be. No matter what we have to do, we can't forget the reason we do it all for. That is one thing my father forgot, and I would not. I thought… no, dreamed of being just like my father, but now I am just me. Not a look a like, or the son of the strongest Saiyan. I am my own person and I will make my own destiny. I will not let the world rule what happens to me, or the evil that comes to claim it. I will never stop protecting this planet, but I won't let that be my life. I have ones I love and ones I will die to for, and if this means placing their safety first, then I will do so.

Each life is precious? How can we sacrifice one life to protect another? How can you call that right?

It's over. The world is safe and we are free from its fate. We can live as normal humans, not as warriors. Even though I do love a fight, but not at the cost it brings. Life is more important. I will make up for my mistakes and I'll do it here, with those I love. I just hope that it's not too late.

As he looked in hiss mirror, he thought of all that has happened. Goten was free from is suffering. He just wanted to live a normal life. He brushed his hair back, looked one more time at himself and then was ready to pick up his date. He was glad that Vegeta and Bulma wouldn't be there. He doesn't want to be fish food. A few minutes later, Goten was in his car, destination Capsule home.

********


(Capsule Corp.)

Goten arrived ten minutes early.

"Okay, relax. Breathe in, and breathe out. Damn! That doesn't help. Why am I so nervous? Well, one, it's Bra. She's beautiful, smart, sexy and friendly. But the fact that she is Vegeta's only daughter, means that if I make the wrong move on her, I will won't make it to my twenty-fifth birthday. To be with her is well worth it, though." He said to himself before knocking on the front door.
 

*Inside*


Bra ran to the front door, where she stopped and started talking to herself. "Okay girl. He's here, just act normal. This is Goten, the guy you've had a crush on since you were thirteen. He finally sees you as an adult, don't screw it up." she said to herself as she opened the door.

"Hello Goten!" she said, standing in the door way.

"Wow…" he said nearly drooling as he admired the angel in front of him.

"Hehe, thanks. You look good yourself."

"But not as beautiful as you." he said handing her the rose he bought for her earlier.

"It's beautiful. Thank you." she said, closing the door behind her.

"Shall we?" he asked, taking her hand into his.

"Yes!" she chirped as he escorted her to the car, and opened the door for her to enter. When she was in, Goten got into the car and they were off to start their date. First stop, dinner for two at the beach.

And I'll breathe to you each time,
comfort you threw all the pain...
Gently kiss you fears away....

You can turn to me and cry....
Always understand that I....
Give you all I have inside..........

I want all of me to, far away....feel you
and I won't hesitate at all......
Whenever you come.......

(Back to Trunks and Pan as they walk back to Capsule Corp.)


"So, you never answered my question."said Trunks.

"Do I really have to answer? Isn't it obvious?" she said, giving him a wink.

"Yeah, but I would still like for you to say it." he said as he placed his arms around her waist. This took Pan by surprised, but it was a good feeling.
"Yes, since I was fourteen." she said closing her eyes, loving the feeling of him holding her. He saw this and couldn't help but smile at her innocence. The feeling of having her in his arms could be said in one word… complete. He had is angel in his arms, and nothing else in the world mattered. They stayed like that until they reached Capsule, but as they arrived, Trunks realized that Pan fell asleep in his arms. He loved the way she looked so peaceful, and happy. He didn't want to wake her so he took out his cell phone and dialed his office number.

"Hello, how can I help you?" asked his secretary.

"Mrs. Wilson, this is Mr. Brief."

"Oh, hello sir. Is something wrong?"

"No, I will not be coming back in today, so cancel all meetings." said Trunks, holding Pan in one hand and the phone in the other.

"Yes, sir. Is there anything else?" she asked. As she said that, Trunks looked at the angel in his arms and thought about how he would like to spend the two weeks they have with her. "Yes, I will be out for two weeks. So, reschedule all meetings." he said with a huge smile.
"But…" she started.
However, it was too late. Trunks all ready hung up. He picked up Pan and held her close to his chest. He lifted off the floor and flew to his home.

A few minutes later, Trunks arrived. He entered the house, and went upstairs, still with a sleeping Pan in his arms. As he reached the rooms, he stopped.

"Where do I put her? In Bra's room or…" he said, looking at his room door. Then he looked down at his angle, and all was clear. As he entered the room, he placed her softly onto the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

"As Trunks stood, watching this lovely beauty sleep, a wonderful feeling spread through him. He was so relieved to hear her say yes, it warmed his very heart. He could only hope that she felt as strongly about him as he felt about her.

Quietly, he leaned down and brushed a lock of her hair away from her face. He couldn't help but admire the way she appeared while laying in his bed. She looked so happy, and content. Her sweet, and pure face only supported his belief that she was truly an angel. She was his angel.

Suddenly, he felt a want, a need to hold her, to keep her in his arms forever. He felt so complete when he was with her, and yet so empty when he wasn't. He would never let anything happen to her. If she were to die or parish from this earth, he would surely go with her, unable to live with the cold loneliness that would come from not having her in his embrace."
 

Can, this ever be more romantic? They lay in a sleep of love, in the arms of their love. He dreamt of the future, and she dreamt of the moment. As Trunks placed his arm around Pan, she slowly opened her eyes. She wanted to relish the moment.  She loved the feeling of his body next to hers, and decided to just sleep.

I just want to say Noseless did alot of improvement on this, I have a thing to repeating my self.. Well let me know what you think?
