Hey all, sorry that it took so long for me to get this part out. I've been dealing with a lot of things lately and haven't had time. Anyway, let's get onto the story.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Pan felt the car come to a complete stop. She looked over and noticed that the lines were long…

'As always.' Pan thought. She looked over at her Uncle and Bra who were laughing about something while they were taking off their seatbelts.

"What's so funny?" Pan asked smiling slightly.

"Well, it's just that your Uncle and I have so much in common. I never really knew that there was someone that actually has to go through the things I do." Bra laughed.

"Well that's good. I'm glad that you both found some things to talk about." Pan said.

"Well then, why don't we move this little gathering into the club." Pan said. She let her self out of the car and watched as Trunks followed her lead. She shut the door and locked it. She hit the roof two times and kissed the spot.

"What are you doing?" Trunks asked slightly confused to the Princess' odd behavior.

"Huh?" Pan asked looking at him. "Oh, I always do that as a sign of good luck." Pan said smiling.

"Good luck for what?" Trunks asked getting interested as to where this conversation was going.

"Well one would be that no one steals my car. And two is hope that I'll find the right guy." Pan said while they continued their walk to the club. She noticed that Bra and Goten were engaged in another discussion, and decided that she'd leave them alone. "I want people to like me for me. So far, guys have been going out with me either because I was the Princess…or because I'm 'beautiful.'" She mocked.

"Well," Trunks started, "one, you are beautiful, two, I really don't think that you need to do that little ritual of yours to get a date…or even a boyfriend if that is what the case is. You're beautiful, smart, and everything that any guy could want." Trunks said.

Pan smiled slightly as Trunks' words seemed to just hush her soul. "Thank you Trunks. You are probably the only other person I can actually think of that can actually relate to what I'm saying." Pan said.

"Really? Is it the part about being beautiful?" He asked cockily.

Pan laughed lightly. "Don't get so full of your self. But yes that too. And the fact that you are a perfect all around guy. And you cannot tell me that your mom hasn't tried to set you up with girls." Pan said.

"You know me too well, and I believe that we have just met." He said looking at her in the eyes.

"Yeah, we have." Pan said as they finally reached the door where the bouncer allowed only the four to enter.

'Maybe I didn't need to hit the roof of my car after all.' Pan thought looking at Trunks through the corner of her eye. She also noticed that as they walked in, everyone looked at them. Pan had almost gotten used to this. But usually it was only the guys that dud that…but now there were beautiful women that were looking at Trunks. She noticed that Trunks seemed to give into them, and let his flattery show.

"Shall we?" Pan asked locking her arms with his in a casual manner.

"Yeah sure. Why not." Trunks said looking down at his companion fondly. Pan led Trunks to her secluded area that they had dedicated to her and the rest of the royal "teens." Pan noticed that everyone went back to dancing…but she went on to being happy for the rest of the night.

::::::::::::

Pan set her things down as they reached their area. One of the waiters came over. A young handsome man came.

"Hello there. What can I get you all?" He asked while practically drooling all over him self as he saw Pan. Pan figured that since Trunks could show his flattery, she could too.

Trunks grimaced to him self as Pan let it show. "Nothing for now." Trunks' voice boomed for him to leave. He obviously didn't take a hint since he stood right there.

"Excuse me but Ms. Pan, would you mind me asking to dance with you after my shift?" The boy asked.

"Sure…" Pan trailed off looking at his nametag. "Garret. I would love to." Pan said.

"Great." He said leaving with a victory smile plastered on his face.

Trunks thought to him self. 'Dancing? How the hell do they dance here anyway?' He thought. He was brought out of his train of thoughts as Garret came back and led Pan out to the dance floor.

Trunks watched as they moved this the music. He seemed to be lost in a trance when he saw Pan. She moved like silk in the wind. The lights in the background added to the intensity of the situation.

Trunks noticed that his sister and Goten were watching him. He quickly sat back and coughed. "Hey, that chick over there is hot." He said unconsciously pointing at Pan.

"Which one?" Goten asked. Trunks looked to where his thumb was pointing and quickly adverted it.

"That one." Trunks said.

"Hmm, not bad I guess." Goten shrugged. "Hey Bra, you want to go dance?" Goten asked.

"Yeah sure, why not." Bra said getting up.

"Bra, you know how to dance?" Trunks asked.

"Trunks, I lied when I said that I've never went clubbing before. I go whenever I say that I'm going to hang out with my friends. Why do you think that I say that I'm sleeping over their house?" Bra said.

"You sneaky little brat. Where is it on Vegeta-sei anyway?" Trunks questioned.

"You think that we can actually have a club there. No way, we come to Earth. That's how I met Goten." Bra laughed.

"You mean that you two have met before?" Trunks almost yelled out.

"Of course…why do you think that we're always locked in a good conversation? Sorry bro, I would have told you and all…but you know." Bra waved off going onto the dance floor with Goten.

"I'll be damned." Trunks said leaning back. He watched as Pan walked back alone.

"Hey." Pan said sitting down.

"What happened to your buddy?" Trunks asked.

"Huh? Oh Trunks. Okay, let's go over some things. One, if you dance with someone it doesn't mean that you two are mated for life. And two, it was just for fun. You didn't really think that I was going to stay with him did you? Honestly, give me a little credit here." Pan said leaning back.

"Did you know that Bra has been here before?" Trunks asked changing the subject.

"What?" Pan said in disbelief.

"Yup, apparently she came here whenever she was supposedly sleeping over a friends house. And she already knew your Uncle." Trunks said.

"Wow, really? That's cool. Hey Trunks, you wanna dance?" Pan asked smiling as the lights behind her added to the intensity of the situation again.

"Umm…err…well, I don't really think that's a good idea. The thing is that I can't…dance." Trunks said.

"So?" Pan said. Trunks looked up at her wide-eyed.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Pan smiled.

"Nothing, it's just that well…never mind." He said.

"No, you can tell me." Pan said grabbing his hand, hoping to get him to spill the beans.

"Well the thing is that the first time someone asked me to dance, they laughed in my face because I didn't know how to. After that, my mom made me take dancing lessons." Trunks shuddered.

"Well now that you really know me a little better, am I like other girls that I've met?" Pan asked.

Trunks just looked at her in the eyes and found the soothing comfort that he needed to hush the past forever.

"No, you're not." Trunks said lightly while standing up and holding his hand out to her.

"That's the spirit." Pan said smiling as she led him out onto the dance floor.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Sorry that this was so short…but tell me what you think anyway.

So, do you think that Pan will succeed in helping Trunks learn how to dance? Hmm…I guess there is only one way to find out. Please stay tuned for the next part of "Blood Rivals." Ja ne!
