Mysterious Stranger: A Glimpse of the Future

Trunks loosened his satin blue tie and unbuttoned his collar of his black dress shirt. The words on his computer seemed like a total different language. The past month was hell for him; he hasn't seen Pan, only at family gatherings and Capsule Corps. parties. He couldn't get the courage to go up and speak to her not after she refused to get married to him. Knock knock someone tapped on the large oak door of his office. "Who is it?" He snapped out of his miserable thoughts. "It's Betsy Mr.Trunks" a fake honey sweet voice chirped. Trunks groaned inwardly. "Come in" He said. The door opened and Betsy was standing leaning against the doorframe causing her short skirt to move up even higher to her thigh. She walked slowly over to him striding with her long lean legs. Trunks didn't get distracting like most men when she was in sight. Betsy Hamilton always tried to "pursue" Trunks like all the other typical women. "Good evening Mr.Trunks" She lowered her voice and pouted her lips. Trunks glanced at his silver Rolex and it was 8:00 PM. 'It's so late, we closed 2 hours ago!' Trunks realized. 'What would Betsy be doing here?' He also wondered. "Yes Betsy?" He finally said something to her. Then he looked at his paperwork paying completely no attention to her. She slowly seductively slid onto the desk.

She sat facing him, crossing her legs. She lightly pushed the picture of Pan and made it face down. That made Trunks look up. "What is it?" He said impatiently. "Oh Trunks…" She addressed without the usual formal "Mister". "I heard about your breakup up with Ms. Pan" She slowly purred. She reached for a pen and toyed with it. "You know she really wasn't your type Trunks, not conservative, not graceful, not caring about her appearance all she cares about is fighting." She silently purred. Grief washed over Trunks for a split second at the mention of Pan's name. "Get out" He firmly ordered. "Oh Trunks…you know you belong with me you are better off without that thing anyway" referred to Pan as a "thing". She slid onto his lap. "GET OUT!!" Trunks loudly ordered and pushed her off him. "What the hell?!" Betsy said flushed as she stood up and composed herself. "What is the difference between her and me? I am so much better, I got the looks, I have everything that girl doesn't" She yelled. "But I love her and not you so get out!!!" Trunks ordered. "Well she doesn't love you!" Betsy said then ran off. That hit him hard. He sat back onto his chair, it was true his heart belonged only to Pan but hers wasn't his.

Bra stood behind the doorframe. She heard everything. She was in her office beside his and when she heard the talking she walked over and being careful not to be noticed. 'He loves her so much' she thought sadly. "Who's there?" Trunks mumbled. Bra walked into the office wearing a white ¾ sleeved blouse and a red knee length skirt and high shoes. "Hey" She said. "Hey" Trunks mumbled again. "Uh…what are you doing her so late?" She asked looking at her distraught brother. "I don't know," He silently said. "What are you doing here?" Trunks asked. Bra would be the first one out of the building. "I had to finish up some paperwork for tomorrow's conference, I am the assistant cooperate manger you know" She smiled. Bulma wanted Bra to help out with the family business working alongside with her Brother…the corp. Manger. She was finally convinced after her mother told her she could wear nice clothes to work. Bra went to university and got all the degrees but didn't know how to use them so she came to help out. Trunks gathered his stuff "Want a ride home?" He asked. "No thanks I am going go out with -Go" "Me" Goten stood in the doorway. "Hey!" Bra ran up to him. "Hey man" Trunks looked up. "We are gonna go okay?" Bra said as she grabbed her black floor length Gucci jacket. "Bye" Trunks waved.

Thud Her gym bag dropped beside her neatly made bed. "You have two messages" Her high tech answering machine sensed her and said. She pressed the button. "#1" The automated voice continued. Then Bra's voice come on "Hey sweetie!! We have to go the mall!! I need wait! I mean you need new clothes for that family gathering thing! Call me!" Pan smiled at her best friend's hyper voice. The next message started. "Hey…it's me…uh we need to talk okay?" She knew exactly who that was. Trunks. Pan's heart dropped. She picked up the phone and dialed his cell. "Hello?" his deep voice soothed the receiver. He couldn't answer. "Hello??" The voice repeated. She hung up.

'Pan' He thought to himself. 'Why won't you say anything?' Trunks sadly thought. His car made a screeched as he suddenly stopped. He reached for is cell phone. He dialed Pan's number. Her answering machine came on. "Pan I know you are there, pick up, I really think we should talk…I miss you…Please just talk for a second? Pan?" Pan sat in the corner of the on her bed, she didn't want to pick up she didn't know what to do. She hesitated and rushed to her cordless and picked it up. "Trunks?" He already hung up. "I miss you too," she silently said to herself as tears streamed down her face.

Trunks shook his head and drove off. When he got home it was dead silent except the training gym capsule. His father was training as usual. It was only 9:00 PM where was everyone? Trunks pondered as he walked into the house. He immediately walked over to the fridge to serve is sayin appetite. An old note was still hanging on the fridge from a week ago. The note said

"Hey! I am gonna be home late. Don't stay up for me!"
luv, Bra

Trunks always smiled at the little "Party" notes Bra would leave. Usually the notes would be left for Vegeta. But no one really worried, even though Bra never showed it she was capable to kick the crap out of any grown guy. He would go crazy if he didn't know where she was. Then he sat down and ate. Then he heard the door. "Mom?" he asked the silence. "She's at chi chi's" a familiar voice said. "Hey dad" Trunks relied. "I am going to pick her up later." Vegeta said as he went to grab a water bottle. "How have things been going with Pan?" Vegeta sounded as if he cared. Pan was his student, he would never admit it but he enjoyed Pan's company and saw her as his third kid. Trunks stiffened. Vegeta noticed and sighed. "Trunks…haven't you learned?" Vegeta started. Trunks looked up. "Trunks…Getting your mate is like training" Now he got Trunks' attention. "Fight and fight until you reach that certain level." Vegeta said. "That's how I got your mother…" Vegeta softly whispered. Trunks looked surprised. Vegeta realized Trunks heard him and growled "What are you looking at?!" Vegeta said and started to walk away. "Where are you going?" Trunks' asked. "To pick up your mother, That women is incapable to defend herself" Then in a flash he was gone. Trunks smiled at how worried his father can get worried about his mother. He'll fight just like his father did.

Pan was walking around the Forrest and heard a whizzing noise. She looked up and saw vegeta holding bulma talking…lovingly. "Whoa that's weird...this day is very odd…,"Pan thought to herself smiling. Then she heard the whizzing noise again and walked over to a clearing of the Forrest. There was a huge time machine. The door made a sound and opened. A tall person walked out. He came into the moonlight and looked exactly like Trunks but with longer hair and a more muscular build. "Who's there?" His voiced asked. She slowly creeped out. Trunks stood stunned at her. "Who are you?" He asked in a soft but firm tone.

"I am Pan Son…who are you?" Pan slowly answered. Trunks eyes widened. "You are Son Pan? Gohan's daughter?" He asked. How did he know? "Answer me!" Pan got irritated that he didn't answer. Telling by the fury in her eyes, how she flicked her hair…this was Pan…his Pan. He smiled. In an instant Pan knew this was Trunks...although she didn't'' know this Trunks it was a Trunks. They smiled and Trunks dropped a tiny capsule and a whole bachelor house pooped out. Pan stood and looked. "The future has more technology then here I suppose…come on in" Trunks gestured. She walked in and the whole place felt very homey. It was a whole room nothing divided anything. His perfectly made bed sat in the middle with the back to the wall. He had pictures everywhere…of her. Pan picked up a black picture frame and it was her but looked different somehow and him hugging. Pan looked at trunks confused.

"That's Pan…you…"He said sadness filled his eyes. "What is it?" Pan asked. "That is me and you in like I think a couple of years…well Pan pushed me into this capsule and sent me off…we were fighting and she was badly hurt…everyone was dead…all dead…" Trunks sat on his bed. Pan sat down beside him. "She didn't want me to get hurt and sent me off without her…She stayed and stopped the creature…that monster" Trunks held is head in his hands. "I know what you are thinking...Pan must not have been that strong just to send me off…she popped a pill and my mouth when I was sitting after being so badly hurt…I thought is was medicine or something…" He continued. "Then I realized I was pushed into the machine. She set it and I was all dazed. I was very confused. Then she shut it and sent me off. I slept all the way here…" Trunks sadly said. "Oh…" Pan answered. "Why don't you go back?" She added. "I can't my machine is busted I have to fix it" he replied.

They spent the whole night talking about both of their lives. They talked until mourning and collapsed on each other and fell deep into sleep. Pan woke up to the smell of eggs and coffee. She stretched and yawned and noticed she was on his bed with the blanket wrapped around her. What happened?! She thought to herself. "Morning" trunks said with his back to her. He was wearing his boxers and a tank. "Hello…"Pan yawned. Well here is your breakfast; he placed the plate of good food on the small table. "Thanks" Pan smiled. "I am going to take a shower" He said and went into the bathroom. She stood up and went to eat. She sat down and knocked down the cup of coffee. "Shit!" She swore. She was burned and wet. "Ugh…all I needed" She went through Trunks drawers and found a buttoned down shirt. She put it on and took off her other shirt to dry.

Trunks came out with his hair wet and hanging. He had a towel wrapped around his waist. Pan blushed at the scene. She had seen more of Trunks but not this one. Trunks didn't seem to notice. Thud! They both looked to the door. They both went outside. Vegeta, bulma, ChiChi, Goku, Gohan, Videl, Bra, Krillian, and … Trunks. They stood outside bedazzled why everyone was there. "Hey you guys…" Pan started. Then she looked to future Trunks and he stood dripping wet in a towel. She was in an oversized shirt that bared her long legs. 'Oh My God' Pan thought. "You guys… it is not what you think…" She began.

Trunks eyes filled with hurt and pain then filled with anger. "Sure" He said and walked up "That's it…he's half-naked, and you are in his shirt…" Trunks angrily accused. Trunks looked at this person who looked a lot like him. "…And who are you?" Trunks asked disgustingly. "I am Trunks…" Future Trunks replied. Everyone gasped. "He is from the future…" Pan stated. "Oh so you are going for a future guy eh?" Trunks snapped. Pan gave him an irritated look. "What do you mean by that?" Pan said. "You know what I mean! You are my girlfriend and why are you spending the night with some other guy and both show up half naked" Trunks raised his voice. "He is just a friend," she said. "Sure" Trunks answered while everyone else looked. Pan raised her hand and slapped Trunks hard on the cheek. "You know what? I do not need to take crap from you… I was the one who refused your proposal and I am not yours anymore so you can F*ck off…I don't give two S*its about what you believe or don't believe, nothing happened between us." then Pan angrily flew off.

Everything was discussed. Shortly after Pan left Trunks stormed off. They were all invited into Future Trunks' modest house and Trunks' explained everything.

Trunks sat on the dock where him and Pan used to sit at night. He held his head in his hands out of despair. Yes he was jealous. His heart was torn apart when he saw her and Mirai Trunks together. Trunks looked up and saw his mother standing beside him. "Hey" Bulma said. Trunks grunted something that sounded like a 'hi'. She sat down beside him. "Trunks dear…you have to understand that…" Bulma started but was cut off "Mom, please, I saw what I saw it won't change" Trunks said. "Are you really sure what you saw means something else?" Bulma asked. Trunks looked up at her slightly aging face. "Pan stayed over because both her and Trunks fell asleep after he told his story in the future with his Pan there…," Bulma said. "What do you mean?" Trunks looked bewildered. "What do you mean his Pan?" Trunks asked. "Well he is deeply in love with the Pan in the future and absolutely no one can replace her…not even your Pan" Bulma said.

"Oh my God…" Trunks sighed heavily. "Pan hates me," Trunks said shaking his head at his mistake. "Are you serious?" Bulma laughed. "Pan has loved you ever since she was a tiny tot…" Bulma said. Trunks stood up abruptly starling his mother. "What is it?" Bulma stood up. "I am going to find her and in a flash he was gone" Bulma waved. The skies were darking. "How am I supposed to get home now? Walk? At night?" Bulma said to herself as she started to walk fast. Someone grabbed her arm. She yelled out in shock. "It's me woman!" She calmed down as she heard vegeta's voice. "Geez...you don't have to scare me you know! What are you doing here?" Bulma said. "To take you home…I don't want you to go home during this hour alone" He growled. She smiled at his concern. Then they both left.

"Trunks went to the river bank to see Pan sitting there all alone. Her knees were pulled up to her chest and she was staring blankly at her feet. He walked up to her slowly and sat down besides her. She looked at him with anger mixed in with sadness. "What are you doing here?" She demanded in a low voice. Trunks winced at the tone. "I am sorry it was my fault…," He said. "Sorry is not going to cut it Trunks. You didn't trust me!" Pan said in disbelief. "I know…yes I was jealous …okay I admit it, I was overreacting and you know why?" He didn't even let Pan start. "I love you that's why! Okay? I mean…I know we haven't been talking and all…and we are not getting married…But I missed you all these months and now I see you with a stranger in his clothes! What am I supposed to think!?" Trunks sighed. Pan looked at him amazed. "I will marry you Trunks…just not now…" Pan started. "I mean you are my soulmate…and I know that because I miss you when you are not there, I missed your voice, and all the little things you do for me…" She said. "I guess we are going to have a long engagement eh?" She laughed. Trunks looked at her "You want to get married to me after all I have done?" He stared in amazement. "Yes Mr. Trunks…I am saying yes…" They ended that conversation with a long passionate kiss.
