That One Night
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or DBGT but I do own this story so read it and review ;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was only after Bra left that Trunks had a chance to sort through what was going on in his mind.
"So she doesn't wanna see you as anything more than a friend, you can deal with that." He sighed, picking his body up off the chair he walked around the desk and bent over to pick up the papers that Bra didn't get to.
"Who are you kidding, you can't do this."
He yanked up his shirt sleeve to glance at his watch, 12:15,
"Well that's a day I should go home."
Picking up his jacket off the small couch in the office he walked out the door, to his car.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bura pushed her key through the door. It opened automatically.
"At least that's one thing that still works around here."
She walked into the living room, noticing three things, one was the music blaring from Pan's room, two was the sleeping Goten stretched out on the couch and three was the blinking machine, telling her that she had 5 messages.
She pushed down on the play button.
Message one:
Hey Bra its me, mom...I was thinking of getting everyone together sometime soon, we all agree its quiet around here without all you kids around. Call me I love you.
Message two:
Pan its me dad, just wanted to make sure you were ok. Goten told me that you were missing all night the other day so call me.
Message three:
Hey Goten, Hey Bra....Marron here, we gotta get together sometime soon, your mom was thinking of a party, well I just moved in with my boyfriend...out of the town so new number is 389-009-8963 call me
Message four:
Hey Pan.... It's me Trunks.....I just got to the office..........I really need to talk to you..........uh call me, you know the number
Message five:
Pan, its me again. I am leaving the office.........I still really need to talk to you.......about the other day.....please call me.
Bra sighed, it hurt her to hear the desperation in his voice.
Dammit Pan, why won't you call him.
Rushing down the hallway she banged on her friends door, hoping that she would hear the knocking over the blaring music.
Only to her surprise Pan didn't open the door, a guy did.
"Uhhh, sorry you must be Bra, she told me to open it."
"Yea," she tried to wipe the surprised look off her face, "uh who are you?"
"Sorry about that," he laughed a bit and then opened the door wider to let her come in, "I'm Rob."
She just stood there in the doorway, feeling stunned.
After about two minutes she pushed herself into and saw Pan standing there.
"Hey Bra, where have you been all day." She acted like nothing was even going on, it made Bra fume.
"I've been at CC, Trunks is having a bad day." She said it in a way that made everyone in the room cringe.
Pan's face paled a bit.
"I didn't think he had to work today." She wished that she hadn't even asked, a sudden rush of guilt poured over her body as she peered over at Rob.
"He doesn't, that's the point." She turned to walk out, but then yelled over her shoulder, "check your messages, I'm sure there's one or two that you'll wanna answer."
Walking out of the room she left Pan and Rob.
"Sorry about that, her and my uncle got in a fight the other day. She holds grudges."
She looked at him, and walked towards her bedroom door.
"Would you mind if I call you later, I wanna make sure she's okay." It was a lie, she wanted to see what Bra was so angry about, she wanted to get Rob away so that she wouldn't fell as bad for the episode with Trunks the other day. Acting as though it was nothing just to cover up her true feelings and prevent embarrassment from her friends and family.
"Sure call me later."
He grinned and pulled her into a tight embrace, she let him touch her lips with his....only 3 minutes later it was getter deeper and deeper. It felt so good to be loved even if it was just for a moment, and she led him over to the door locking it.
-------------------------An hour later-------------------------------------------------------
He looked at her, so beautiful and his.
Pan looked into his eyes, they were nothing like the piercing blue eyes of the man 12 miles away.
"Hey," he grinned at her, "I'm going to go, I don't want to have another run in with your roommate. I'll call you when I get off tonight."
"Ok," he pulled her up off the bed into another kiss only this time he ended it shortly.
"Bye," her voice trailed off as he left the apartment. She let her body plop down on the bed when she heard the front door shut and lock.
check your messages, I'm sure there's one or two you'll wanna answer.
Her thoughts led her back to the last thing Bra said when she left the house with Goten.
"I don't wanna get up." She moaned, but pulled on an old tank top and a pair of warm up pants and jogged over to the machine.
There were more messages than before, funny how she didn't hear the phone ring when she was in her room.
You have 6 messages:
Message one:
Pan its me dad, just wanted to make sure you were ok. Goten told me that you were missing all night the other day so call me.
Message two:

Message four:

Message five:
Pan please call me back I have to talk to you about the other day, maybe I'll see you tonight.
Message six:
Pan, Bra here there's a party at my mom's house tonight sorry about the notice, you can wear something out of my room and don't worry about calling my brother back he said he'll talk to you tonight.
Tonight.....
I can't go, I can't face him. Not after what I just did.
Tears trailed down her face at the thought of earlier with Trunks and earlier with Rob.
I have to go...... Dad will want to talk to me, maybe I'll bring Rob. Then Trunks will know that everything will be ok, he probably is worried about how I felt.
Her spirits brightened as she thought about it, so she picked up the phone and left Rob a message at work.
------------------------------4.5 hours later------------------------------------------------
The doorbell rang,
"Coming," Pan shouted above the hair dryer, she was almost finished curling her hair. She had never put so much time and effort into a party before but she had so much to do tonight, she might as well look good while doing it."
She ran down the hallway, her long dress touched the ground without her shoes on.
Opening the door she saw Rob standing there he looked good.
"Wow, Pan you look great."
She blushed at his comment, turning almost the color of her scarlet dress.
"Can you wait just a second?" She asked him.
"I'd wait forever for you."
She smiled again, I love it when I feel this way she thought.
Pulling on her shoes her dress fell just above her feet.
He put his arm around her as they exited the building, the warm air greeted them as they walked down the only flight of stairs to his car.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where is she," Bra almost yelled, Pan was fifteen minutes late.
"She is supposed to be here talking to you."
Trunks stood in front of Bra in empty kitchen.
"Listen Bra, its no big deal she has better things to do." But his voice told everyone that it was a huge deal.
At that moment Pan and Rob walked through the door, Trunks face feel as he saw who she was with.
He turned to walk out but was greeted by Pan's voice to soon.
"Trunks wait a sec, I want you to meet someone." She reached out grabbing his wrist pulling him around to look at the new couple.
"This is my boyfriend Rob."
He was solemn and stern, "nice to meet you."
He walked out, heading to the rest of the party to meet up with Goten.
"What's his problem," Pan was annoyed at the Brief's behavior today.
Bra stood up, "he wanted to talk to you, now go and I'll show Rob to the rest of the party."
Rob frowned, "can't I go with you?"
Pan smiled at his protectiveness, "don't worry about it, Trunks and I have been friends forever, he's having a bad day so I wanna make sure he's going to be alright."
His face softened at her words, "don't take to long," he drew her near inhaling the scent of her hair, "I don't want another guy to steal you away."
"I'll try to hurry."
She walked out of the kitchen in the direction of the departed Trunks.
She saw him sitting on the stairs away from the party.
"Hey, what are you doing here all alone."
He didn't even look up at her.
Keeping his face on the floor he growled at her, "Pan go back with Rob, I wanna be alone right now."
She sat down next to him, "you wanted to talk to me though, it sounded important too."
He looked at her, "must not of been, you didn't even bother to call me back."
Now she was mad, how dare he be rude to her when all she was trying to do was comfort him.
"Fine Trunks if you wanna be an asshole about it then be that way, I'll go with people that care about me."
"No Pan you don't even understand I do care about you...."
"Yeah right, you wouldn't act this way if you did. If you wanna talk to me I'll be in the other room with Rob."
She ran out of the room, releasing anger in every hard step she took.
"I do care about you Pan......more than you'll ever know.........."
So what is going to happen? Will Trunks ever tell Pan how he feels. Will Pan realize her mistake before going too far with Rob. Will Bra and Goten intervene. Find out next time in chapter uhhhhh 3 or 4, I'm not sure which one I'm on yet. Lol.
