Battles of Love

Chapter 4: Remembrance

Author's Note: To understand how Mirai Trunks went back to the past his third time, (in this story now his fourth when he finds the time machine Bulma supposedly had already destroyed), read this. In this story, Mirai Trunks went back a third time, quite by accident, just for a few hours. At the time he went back, Bulma was hosting the Capsule Ball. The only person who knew while the Capsule Ball was being hosted that Mirai Trunks had gone back was Vegeta. Vegeta told the other saiyans after the ball, but was he really the only one who saw him at the Capsule Ball? Read on to find out.

Pan was the first to break the silence. "What kind of trick are you playing on us now Trunks?"

'My head must have bumped really bad somehow during the crash landing' Pan thought, really confused.

Both Bra and Trunks ignored Pan's comment for the moment.

"Mirai Trunks! Is it really you?!" both Bra and Trunks exclaimed, happy that they had recognized the "mysterious stranger".

"Do I know you? Why do you know my name?!" Mirai Trunks demanded, equally confused.

"It's me, Mirai Trunks, Bra. Your sister? But then again, you wouldn't know, since I wasn't born when you traveled back the second time. And the third time you went back you only stayed for two hours. Daddy has told us much about you!"

"Shut up Bra, I think he knows that now. So, brother, how'd you get here?"

"Bra? Trunks?!" At that instant the net is released, and so are the captives. Marron, Goten, and Pan are still speechless. Bra surprised Mirai Trunks by giving him a big bear hug.

"I'm so happy that you decided to come back! But why you chose to visit this planet instead of ours needs to be explained." Bra replied.

Mirai Trunks was not used to all the affection, so he just stood tall, while an excited Bra smothered him.

"How'd you get here?" Trunks asked, tired of all the hugs.

"I was just going to ask you both of you the same thing," replied Mirai Trunks.

Pan got tired of just hearing them talk and talk and ignoring her question, so she spoke up angrily.

"Ok, hold that thought just a second!" Pan exclaimed. "What the hell is going on here? As far as I know, Trunks has never had a twin. Believe me, I would know. And why the hell are both of you taking this so lightly, as if you did this everyday?!"

"Who's that?" asked Mirai Trunks. 'Dende, she looks so familiar. Where have I seen her before?'

" 'That' has a name!" Pan exclaimed, angry at Mirai Trunks for belittling her.

"So what is your name?!" Mirai Trunks exclaimed back angry as well. He hadn't meant to disrespect her, but her attitude and her commanding tone irritated him. 'Why do I always make women mad?' Mirai Trunks asked himself.

"Pan Son. Now both of you, explain, and fast because I have run out of patience. And since Marron and Goten have obviously lost their ability to speak, I had to ask" responded Pan, turning to look at Bra and Trunks.

Marron and Goten were still glued to their spots, speechless and not believing their eyes.

"Mirai Trunks is my brother, and he comes from the future. He had already come back three times before, but none of you ever met him. In fact, the third time he came back was when my mom hosted the Capsule Ball, but none of you came. As a matter of fact, he was only here for about two hours, and the only one who found out he was here was father. The only reason we knew he was here was because Daddy told us after he had left" Bra explained, remembering the anger she had felt when her daddy hadn't presented them to Mirai Trunks when he was there.

Pan was deep in thought. In fact, she hadn't even listened to the last sentences. 'I attended the ball, but left quickly after making the most stupid mistake in my life.' All of a sudden, Pan freaked out. 'What if I kissed the wrong Trunks? What if it was Mirai Trunks whom I confessed my love to? Maybe that would explain why Trunks' attitude and behavior around me didn't change. I thought he would at least talk to me the next day about it, but he just went on as if nothing happened. Maybe that is the reason that Trunks replied really coldly that he did not love me, nor ever would. Forget the maybes! Oh Dende, please say it was Trunks and not Mirai Trunks!!' Pan declared, deep in her thoughts.

Unfortunately, Pan was unaware that Mirai Trunks was able to read her thoughts. 'Is that really the young girl who kissed me three years ago? My, she has grown. But instead of developing better manners, she has turned for the worst' Trunks thought bitterly. 'Her tongue needs some lashing, and since no one is helping her with that, I'll take that privilege.' With that determined thought, Mirai Trunks set out his goal, anxiously awaiting to dispute with the young girl who had no right to have those feelings for him.

***Boy is Mirai Trunks mistaking Pan's feelings. I think Pan should teach Mirai Trunks some lessons in love and war. What do you think?! Well, please REVIEW cause I need to know if I'm doing good, or if this story has not point to it. I want to thank and dedicate this story to Vegeta's lil' Princess for getting me hooked on DBZ, for inspiring me to write stories, being my mentor (and tormento!! LOL), and for helping me with ideas. I also want thank and dedicate this story to Evee da Fox (Marron), Ashley Taylor (Trunkslover2004), and KittyMoon (she helped me with most of the ideas too!). If I missed anyone, please make a note of it in the reviews, or send me an email.***
