Pan's POV:
I was trying on my dress, the wedding was only in a short 22 days, I don't know why Rob rushed me, he always told me that it was only because he wanted our 'forever' to start sooner and last longer, I wasn't so sure anymore.
I was happy that I finally got one day to myself, my family and my friends and not with Rob, somehow I think I'm getting into this way to fast, it was fine when we were dating but now I just feel suffocated with him always around, I wish he would just go away for a while.
Of course everyone loved it, Marron was crying and the rest of the women were saying how beautiful I looked, that was when they walked in. Goten flashed a camera in my eyes, but I knew someone was with him, I felt a pain in my heart as I thought it was Rob, luckily it was just Trunks. I couldn't help but smile wider as he looked me over, I love it when he pays attention to me. I asked him how I looked and he told me stunning, he was speechless. He offered to take me out to lunch, what could I say, he was my best friend, sometimes I even felt more.......
Trunks led me into the restaurant, holding my hand in his, I wished he would never let go. I feel more relaxed when I'm with him not suffocated and frustrated like when I'm with Rob. We were led to a table almost immediately seeing that I was with the president of Capsule Corp. and all, he sat down in the booth next to me instead of across, putting his arm around me and letting me rest my head on his shoulder, just like before when wedding plans didn't take up the whole day. He talked softly into my ear, asking what he was going to do without me around the whole time, he kept on saying that he was losing his best friend, but I assured him it would just like before only a new face to the old gang, he laughed, but somehow I almost saw a little bit of sadness deep down in those ice blue eyes of his.
He kept his arm around me the whole time in lunch, keeping me close to him, even when we walked out he didn't let go, and I didn't ask him too. We drove home in silence just listening to his favorite rock station, he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat, as we pulled up to the driveway he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek asking if I wanted to have lunch again with him tomorrow, I couldn't refuse, I wanted another day with my best friend and without my future husband.
I walked up the stairs to the apartment, but I couldn't bring myself to open up the door. I had to talk to somebody about this whole wedding thing, it was just getting too complicated. Jumping off the railing I flew to the woods, seeking the advice of my mother.
Trunks POV:
Goten and me had been out all day just hangin' while the girls helped Pan plan for the 'happiest day of her life'. I couldn't help but be angry about all of it, I wanted to tell her everything about that morning so long ago, I was falling for her hard and now it was too late. Goten had suggested that we go and pay the girls a visit, I jumped at the chance to see her.
As we walked in I saw her in the dress, she looked like an angel. Goten took a picture of her making her vision blur so she couldn't see me, I wasn't all that made, it gave me more time to gaze at her uninterrupted by the others. I looked around the room, everyone was so happy for her, Bra and my mother were going on about how lucky she was and Marron was in the corner crying her eyes out while trying to be calmed down by Videl. I was the only one who wanted to scream at her not to marry him. She finally saw me, I saw her eyes light up the way they always do when she's happy, they never did that anymore since 'he' came around and proposed. I guess I was the only one who saw it. She asked me how she looked, stunning I told her, and I was speechless. I couldn't help myself anymore, I had to be alone with her, maybe I would have the courage to tell her the truth about everything or maybe I could just hint that she was making the wrong choice either way I asked her out to lunch, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach turn into killer bees when she said yes.
As we walked in I held her hand, I never wanted to let go. I couldn't even stand to be away from her as we sat down, so I sat next to her, putting my arm around her and holding her close pretending that we were together at last, it only got more intense when she rested her head on my shoulder. I started to babble on about who knows what, I asked her what I would do about losing my 'best friend'. All she said was that she wasn't losing me, only gaining another, making my heart sink lower and lower into my chest.
We finished all too soon, it didn't go on forever, I still couldn't bring myself to let her go even as we walked out, then again she didn't ask me too. I have never been so tongue tied before, so I turned on the radio to ease the tension and silence between us, I couldn't help but to drum along with the beat, besides it made her smile. As we pulled up into the driveway of the building I asked her if we could do this again tomorrow, I wanted to see her again, just to be alone with her, I kissed her goodbye as she agreed. Driving away I could feel her ki pass over me, probably to Rob's, I fought to keep my ki down with no luck, anyone could feel me within 200 miles away.
I wanted to do something on both their feelings on the situation at hand, did I do a good job? Review and tell me!
