"I hope your happy with your decision,"

Bra and Goten watched as their friend and niece paced back and forth waiting for everyone to arrive.

Ding Dong

"Finally," Pan threw her hands up in the air and opened the door.

"Hey beautiful," Rob stood in the doorway, a purple rose in his hand, "for you." He smiled at her, watching her as she took it from his hand.

"You," she stepped towards him, smirking evilly, "are one in a million." She felt herself being pulled into a passionate liplock.

"Ahem..." Goten cleared his throat, hinting that him and Bra were still in the room.

"Sorry," Pan blushed, but her color soon came back as the door bell rang once again.

This time Rob opened it, in it stood Marron and Ubuu, "hey guys," Marron gave Rob a quick hug as she rushed threw the doorway to see Pan and Bra.

Ubuu let out a small laugh, and followed Rob to the family room.

"Sorry bout that," Ubuu sat down on the odimon of the huge chair, "she's always like that though."

Rob raised an eyebrow, "you two going out?"

"Yeah, just don't tell Pan or Bra, I'm sure Marron already told them though."

Both guys let out a stressed laugh, they both looked relieved when Goten entered the room again.

"Man Ubuu, that girl of yours is going a mile a minute in there," he threw both guys a can of beer.

Ubuu just groaned, "I know."

All went quiet when the doorbell rang once again.

Goten got up, "I better get that."

Opening the door he saw his old best friend, "Trunks?"

"Yea, uh sorry I'm late I just had a hard time picking out a gift for Pan, where is she anyways?" He pulled on the collar of his black tee shirt, stretching it out a little.

"In the kitchen, she's with Bra and Marron, just uh be careful."

"Thanks for the advice." He walked through the door towards the kitchen, leaving a shocked Goten still holding the door open and two speechless guys in the living room.

"Well...."Goten stumbled back onto the couch, "I didn't expect him to show up."

"What has been going on with him lately anyways?" Ubuu frowned, trying to think of the last time he saw the famous CEO.

"I don't know, but I do know why he came tonight, I guess he does have a heart." Goten took another gulp of the half empty can.

"What do you mean?" Rob impatiently asked.

"Well he called earlier and told Pan he didn't care enough about her to come and she almost passed out, Bra told me that she fell on the floor, couldn't stop crying or anything like that, so she went down to his office and told him off.....must of worked."

"I guess so," Ubuu glanced towards the kitchen, wishing that Marron would come out.

"Well I'm going in there," Rob was yanked back down to his seat by Goten.

"Don't, he's Pan's best friend, they just need to work things out. I'm sure the whole problem was that Trunk's had a bad month and took it out on her." Goten looked at the hallway, Rob just growled.

"I can't take it anymore," Ubuu stood up, "I'm going in there."

"Me too," Rob followed him.

"Don't leave me here," Goten followed his friends into the kitchen.

As soon as they entered, they saw Trunks hugging Pan.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered into her ear, "I won't do that to you ever again, I promise." He kissed the top of her head, sending Rob's anger sky rocking.

"Its ok Trunks, I'm glad your ok." She smiled and turned to her boyfriend, "so let's get this party started."

With that statement, the music went on and so did Rob's red alert system, his gaze never left Pan all night, that is until that moment.

Lowering the volume of the music he gathered everyone's attention.

"I have wanted to do this for a while now, but I know that this is the right moment." Rob lowered himself to one knee, and took Pan's hand.

Trunks face went pale, "I can't stay for this," he whispered to himself, "but if you don't stay then you may lose her forever, he kept on thinking right up to the question.

He slipped the ring halfway up her finger, "Pan will you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?"

Pan smiled, "Oh Rob, I...I....I will, I love you."

He slid the ring all the way up her finger then pulled her into another passionate kiss, "I love you too."

Trunk's face fell, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you, I love you too. It just kept playing like a broken record in his mind, over and over again.

Oh God, I'm so depressing, why must I torture Trunks so?
