THE WAY I FOUND MY HOPE
Author's notes: Hey everyone, sorry it took
sooooooooo long to get this out. Its a one shot thing,
I'm not going to do any more chapters one this one.
Well I hope you like it, see ya! ;]
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z, or any of the
characters, so please don't sue me.
Now the story:
Let's see now, how long has it been? 18
months?........................................................yea, that's
right, about a year and a half. Wow, it doesn't seem
that long, but yet, it is. We've been married a year
and 6 months, and now I'm 6 months pregnant, with
his child.
Gosh, what a mess I was back
then........................................................................
*Flashback*
"He left me dad!! He left me!!!" Pan yelled as her
father held her in his arms while standing in the
doorway. He had found her there, on their porch,
sitting, waiting, and crying and sobbing out of
control.
"Pan, please, try to clam down. I can't help you
unless you tell me what's wrong." Gohan explained
smoothly and calmly. Pan let go of her father and
took several minutes of deep breathes.
"Jake, h-he.............he dumped me. He s-said, he
said t-that he couldn't ha-handle a relationship-p now,
so................................ so he dumped me!!" Pan
could barley manage words because her throat was
sore from sobbing, but her broken heart spoke for her.
Gohan wasn't surprised. Him and Videl always
said Pan's boyfriend, no ex-boyfriend, was unstable,
but he felt the pain Pan, his daughter, was going
through. He wanted so much to find Jake and beat
him until he was a permanent part of the earth, but he
knew it wasn't right.
"Pan I'm so sorry, but don't worry, you're a
wonderful, beautiful, smart girl and you'll find Mr.
Right and when you do, you'll never have to suffer
from a broken heart again. I promise." Gohan lightly
kissed the top of Pan's head. Pan raised her head and
starred her father in the eyes.
"Dad, I'm tired of waiting for `Mr. Right', either
he's not coming, or he's taking his sweet time, but
either way I'm not waiting. When something gets
broken too many times it should be thrown out, not
fixed again, and that's what I'm doing with my
broken heart." Pan announced, then walked into the
house. Gohan just stood there, the only witness to the
day Pan swore off love.
*End Flashback*
I never did have to wait, he came to me. He was
right there, right there, always.
I never did ever hear from Jake again. My guess
is he's married and living a wonderful, happy life.
Just like me.
It took me
about............................................oh,..................3 to 4
months to fully get over Jake, of course my parents
helped a lot. Good old
Mom.................................................................
*Flashback*
"Heartache." Pan said out of nowhere in her
kitchen. Videl looked over at her daughter From
making her husband's `large' breakfast. Pan was in
her blue PJ's sitting on the table playing with her
cereal.
"What was that dear?" Videl asked, she already
knew what Pan had said, but she hoped her daughter
would explain her outburst. Pan gave a heavy sigh
and continued to play with her food.
"I spelt `heartache' with my ABC's cereal." Pan
allowed a single tear to roll down her cheek and into
her bowl. Videl put down her cooking pan and took
off her apron. She then walked over to her daughter.
She sat down next to Pan and put a loving arm around
her child.
"Pan, I know you loved Jake and thought the
world of him, but it happened too fast. One day you
and he met and the next you where in a relationship.
That's not healthy." Videl explained as she rubbed
Pan's arm.
"So what where we supposed to do mom? Wait
a year until we could go out?" Pan questioned, not
believing what her mother said. Now it was Videl's
turn to sigh.
"You know, when you first see your soulmate
you don't always go, `oh that's the man I want to
marry!'. Sometimes it takes awhile, for example I
knew you father a good few months before I realized
he was the one, of course it took him a longer time,
but you get the idea. So you see, I married my best
friend. And one day you will too." Videl slowly got
up to continue cooking Gohan's breakfast, and when
she glanced over at Pan again her cereal spelt `hope'.
*End Flashback*
I suppose that puts new meaning to the saying
`mothers always right', because she hit it right on the
dot.
Hey that's a good one! I'll have to add Hope to
my list of possible baby names.
Well I believe that was the day a began to
remove my self from the `pit of Jake', but it wasn't
the official day I moved
on.................................................................................

*Flashback*
"Got any 8's?"
"Go fish."
Bra removed a card from the pile separating her
and her friend Pan. Pan had finally begun to get out
more since Jake, and Bra was having her over for the
night.
"Bra this is sad. We're playing `Go Fish'!
When did our lives get so dull?" Pan complained as
she tossed down her cards.
"Hey you lied! You did have an 8!!" Bra
shoved the card at Pan.
"Uhhhhhhhhhh." Pan rested her back on the floor
in boredom.
"I'm going to go see what your bro's doing, K?"
Pan announced as she pushed herself off the floor to
Bra's bedroom door. She turned around to see if Bra
would let her go.
"Sure, I'll set up a new game." Bra smiled and
began to, once again, set up the card game. Pan
smiled also and left Bra's room.
Trunk's room wasn't far and Pan arrived there
quickly to find his door open.
"Knock knock." Pan soon got the attention of
the man sitting on his bed. Trunks turned to find his
friend Pan.
"Hey Pan, how's it going?" Trunks asked as Pan
approached the bed and sat down next to her best
friend.
"Fine I guess, just really bored. Why are you
dressed up? Hove another date with, wait who is it
this month? Oh, that's right Lindsey!" Pan smiled at
her own joke, Trunks only smirked.
"Ha, ha, no I don't have a date with Lindsey or
anybody else. Lindsey and I broke up, I'm Just going
to the office to work on some papers." Trunks
explained as Pan gave a huge sigh and let her back
fall on his soft bed.
"You work wwwwaaaaaayyyyyyy to hard friend.
It's not healthy. Its Saturday night and your going to
work at.........................9:30pm!" Pan laughed and
Trunks joined her.
"Yea well, that's life." Trunks stood up and went
to his dresser to pick out a tie, not that it really
mattered since he'd be the only one at C.C. anyway.
"So Trunks, who's next on the girlfriends list?
Seriously, anyone you have your eyes on?" Pan
questioned after get off the bed to help her friend with
his tie.
"Well, there is this one girl, but I'd never have a
chance." Trunks answered. Pan was very confused
at what would make the most handsome, richest man
think he couldn't get a girl.
"Oh? And what's this lucky woman like?" Pan
pulled Trunks tie as he began to tell her.
"Well she's got the best personality, she's smart
and beautiful. Plus I've known her for a long time
and of course, I love her. Although I don't think she
sees me as anything more then her best friend."
Trunks explained then began to stare into Pan's eyes
as if he was searching for something.
"Well good luck, I'm sure she'll fall for you."
Pan patted Trunks on the back and the both of them
exited his room. Pan noticed his sad expression as he
walked out the front door. She ignored it and
continued her journey to Bra's room.
"Hey Pan, it's about time! What took you so
long?" Bra asked as her friend entered her bedroom.
"Oh Trunks was describing this girl he loves and
I-" Pan was cut off by Bra.
"Let me guess, `She has a great personality,
smart, pretty, funny, and She's his best friend, but she
doesn't see his as more'." Bra repeated it like it was
an old commercial. Pan just looked at her.
"Man I guess he really likes this friend." She
continued to wonder who it might be. Bra starred
hopelessly at her clue-less friend.
"You do know he's talking about you right?"
Pan's head shot up in disbelief.
"What?! No, Trunks doesn't love me." Bra
shook her head.
"He told me and your uncle he did." Bra
admitted as Pan started to walk to the door.
"Where are you going?" Bra asked, standing up.
Pan turned around and smiled.
"I'm going to talk to my best friend." Pan
answered and walked out the front door.
"What?! But I don't get it!" Bra yelled after her
friend, but Pan had already driven off. Pan wasn't
thinking about what she was doing, all she could
think about where her parents words.
When she got to C.C. two guards stopped her
from entering.
"Excuse me, but why are you here Miss?" One
asked. Pan smiled and pointed up at the building.
"I have to go tell the man on the 16th floor that I
love him." She again smiled at the guards and they
smiled back.
"Ok, I suppose that's a good reason, good luck
miss." They parted so Pan could go through. She
thanked them and go on the elevator and pressed 16.
It seemed like ages for the elevator to stop and
when it did Pan got out in time to see Trunks walking
down the hall with a pile of papers.
"Trunks!!" Pan yelled towards the man. He
turned around with a surprised look and began to
question her.
"Pan what are you doing here?" Pan smiled and
jogged over to him.
"Where you talking about me before, when we
where in your room?" She asked, making him look
down to the floor.
"Yes." He said simply. Pan smiled and reached
up and gave him a passionate kiss. It make him drop
his papers, soon after he returned her kiss more
deeply.
*End Flashback*
I became Mrs. Trunks Vegeta Briefs soon after
that. It's hard to think that if I had never broken up
with Jake it wouldn't be Trunks baby I'm carrying.
Now the only question is should the baby, if it's a
girl, be named Hope Son Briefs, or Hope Vegeta
Briefs? Who would have ever thought I'd be asking
myself this.
That's the way I found my hope.
