Hey everyone, I know its been a while, but I've had a ton of school work, and I had to decide between about 4 or 5 different ways the story could go, not to mention I had to actually get time on the computer to type it out. I just came back from a workout class called 'Kung Fu Fever' which was a pretty tough workout, so the fact that I might not be able to get out of bed and that I have a research project to work on will probably mean that it will take a while for the next chapter, but I wanted to get this out, sorry it's so short.

"Well maybe we will leave," said Trunks grabbing Pan and walking out the tent opening.
Trunks pulled Pan out of the tent and they walked over towards the trees at the foot of the hill.
'Wow it's pretty here at night' thought Pan as she noticed the stars in the sky, and stiletto of the trees and their light shadows across the ground. The scene was pretty silent. They both walked in silence, gently glancing at each other every once in a while, and when the other would start to turn their head the first would pretend to be looking at the stars, then their attention would go towards their bare feet as they made sure not to step on sticks or rocks.
'The tension between us has never been this bad before, maybe I shouldn't have been such a jerk to her earlier, I want to tell her that I like her, and I know Goten wouldn't mind, but I also know that her ex cheated on her. What if she isn't ready for another relationship, I don't want to jeopardize our friendship with a confession that might not amount to anything, and if I hurt her then I may not get another chance.'
Trunks was stuck in an inner turmoil. He knew that if he said he liked her and she was still getting over her ex she might think he is taking advantage of her young age and vulnerability. But he also knew that if he didn't say something he could lose his chance.
Pan was sure that Trunks didn't like her, not so much because of the way he acted but because she had forced herself to believe it. At the same time she had forced herself to believe that she had no feelings for him, 'I don't like him, and he doesn't like me' she repeated to herself. It made things easier when she didn't have to worry about romance again, it was almost easier to just try and think of him as a friend, almost. But she knew she couldn't keep using that to convince herself forever. 'If only I could just let myself believe that he could like me.'
The silence and tension began to build up and it was almost deafening to be able to hear nothing but your own breathing, and the waves crashing into the sand. Trunks tried to break the silence and maybe strike up a conversation "Well, at least out hear we won't be the butt of any dares"
"Yeah, your sisters creativity can go past the point of embarrassing" She sighed and watched Trunks sit on a rock, then sat beside him.
'Great, the silence again, why is everything ending in silence'?
'He doesn't like me, and I don't like him, but I'm so cold' Pan leaned against Trunks and put her head on his shoulder, resting her eyes as she shivered in the cold night air. Until Trunks put an arm around her to keep them both warm.
"This seems strangely familiar..." said Trunks and the girl giggled, "Can I help it if you're a good pillow?" she asked in the middle of a yawn, and then Trunks laughed.
"Well, I may be a good pillow, but I'm also cold, Give me back my shirt"
Grabbing the shirt closer to her and trying to get away she said, "No, I'm freezing as it is, it wouldn't help for me to be in nothing but a swimsuit would it?"
"But it's my shirt, and besides, I wouldn't mind if you were in nothing but a swimsuit." Trunks grinned.
Pan blushed. "Well I would mind, besides..."
Before Pan could finish Trunks' mouth was inches away and the words were caught in her throat.
'I can't lose the opportunity, there might not be another' 'He doesn't like me and I don't like him, oh but I do' This time Trunks made the first move and caressed her cheek, she sighed and closed her eyes as Trunks placed his lips on hers and he was kissing her, scared at first she stayed still but soon she was absorbed in the kiss and they both wrapped their arms around each other, not wanting to let go.

The four sat in a circle; "I wonder what Pan and Trunks are doing?" asked Bra as she pulled out a nail file and worked on her nails.
"Good question, they are probably making out," said Uubu a he watched Marron brush her hair.
"It's about time," Goten muttered under his breath.
Marron giggled, "Are we going to play Truth or Dare Bra? Or was that just a clever trick to get Pan and Trunks to spend some 'quality' time together?" Bra stopped filing and a small smirk grew across her face and Uubu and Goten shrugged their shoulders.
"Well, I suppose it was just a trick, we could play if you guys wanted too?" looking up Bra saw horrified looks on everyone faces, "But of course it would be kind of stupid, the Truths would be no fun and the only dares would be to kiss someone, or to make prank calls on the cell phone, either way it's just a little too childish.
Everyone relaxed, relieved that they wouldn't be subject to the torture of the creative and brilliant Bra. But it didn't take long for them to realize the discomfort in the tent. No, they were not uncomfortable around each other, but they soon discovered that when they fell asleep they all became sunburned.
"Great, this is going to peel, no one happens to have any aloe do they?" asked Marron. The look on everyones faces was of pain, and a red tinge from the burn. Goten and Uubu looked through the couple of capsules that were in the tent, and noticed that one was labeled 'first aid'. Upon opening it Goten discovered bandages, antiseptic, gauzes, cotton balls, and about 3 bottles of aloe Vera sports rub. "Will this work?" he asked tossing a bottle to Bra and another to Marron.
Within about 10 minutes of embarrassment and begging they finally found some relief from the burn. Bra lay down on her stomach and took of the shirt so that she was only in her bathing suit. Goten spread the sports rub across her back and started working on the muscles.
"Wow Goten, you are really good at massages, thank you"
Goten blushed at the comment and quickly recovered when the room grew silent, across from them Marron was working on the burn on Uubu's back. 'It feels so good to be close to you Bra' he thought 'but I want you to know I like you, no not like, I love you, and its getting more and more deeper every day. If Trunks and Pan get together, then maybe we have a chance too. I know I like you, and even that you like me, but I still can't get over the fact that not only will your father kill me, but if I screw up then I could lose the best chance at happiness in my life'
Goten wasn't the only one who's mind was running a million miles an hour, 'Oh Goten, I know I love you, and I want you to know it, but every time I try and tell you something happens, you fall asleep, or we find Pan and Trunks kissing in the forest. I want to tell you now, but I think it might be inappropriate with Marron and Uubu around.'
Bra's face lit up with an idea and she reluctantly moved out from under Gotens massage, "I'm going for a walk, I need some fresh air" she said quickly and ran out of the tent 'please follow me Goten' she thought as she leapt over some rocks and moved towards the opposite side of the Island.

Ok, ok, I know it was short, but it got the point across, Trunks and Pan finally kissed, and Bra ran off hoping that Goten will follow her. Will Goten follow Bra?
