Wee

Chapter 5. Not sure if this will be the last chapter or if i'll have another after this. Really depends on where the story ends up. Yeah, I know that my epic stories only last about four or five chapters, but I just find it all comes out in that time. Anyways, I've got a nice fic lined up after I'm done with this one. It's another G/B, and you'll have to see what it is when I start it. Also, be on the lookout for a certain sequel to one of my fics... oh yeah... lex-chan is a cutie ^_^

AN1: Review or I'll beat you with the kindu stick. (Inside joke, don't ask)

AN2: K-chan... where the nuts is TGLW8?! I know evil Enright is getting you, but hey! we readers love that story!

AN3: ::sings:: LB and Law-kun, sittin' in a tree... K-I-S-S-I-N-G...!

AN4: Kublai Khan will always be your god. ... Unless you are Kublai Khan... Oh well, I'll give anyone a cookie if they can tell me who Kublai Khan was...

DISCLAIMER: I OWN IT ALL! NOW PROSECUTE ME!

Wish: Chapter 5 -- Giddiness and Realization

Pan sat on her bed thinking about what Trunks and Gohan had just talked about. She couldn't believe that Trunks loved her. She sat in wonderment and thought about how he could pick her out of all the prettiest, best girls he could get.

I can't believe it's me, she thought, It's really me. I'm the one Trunks loves. And I love him, also. I have for my whole life; ever since I was able to recognize the feelings that made my stomach turn, my heart flutter, my light-headedness to awaken. Caring about him was the greatest thing to happen to me. It brought me lots of joy. It's also caused me pain, having to suffer through numerous girlfriends he's had.

But he loves me. My wish has come true. Wish.

Pan threw the covers off of herself and got up, slipping on some short shorts and a t-shirt before stepping into her sandals. She slowly walked down the stairs and onto the back porch to find Trunks, lounging still.

"Trunks?" Pan said, not wanted to disturb him, but wanting to talk to him badly. He turned with a start and smiled easily as he noticed it was Pan.

"Pan, what are you doing up?" Trunks asked. Pan shrugged and smiled.

"Not tired anymore," she stated. She grinned, then continued, "Arigato, Trunks. For taking me to bed when I fell asleep."

"Oh it was nothing!" He said, waving his hand, "You'd of done the same thing for me, right?" She nodded.

"Of course I would," she said, but thought, because I love you, with all my heart.

Trunks got up and stretched. He turned every which way while Pan watched. His face outlined by the starlight which gleamed in the bright night sky. She sighed.

Trunks eyed her as she eyed him.

Kami-sama, I can't wait to tell her. I'm so giddy! She's so great! GIDDY! GREAT! WEE! .... Trunks, get a hold of yourself. Don't act all excited. But I am! Shh... Trunks... don't get suspicious... I CANT HELP IT!

Trunks continued to fight the inner battle with his conscience as Pan grinned at his changing facial expressions.

"Trunks, you okay?" Pan asked, chuckling a bit.

Trunks snapped out of his little battle with a blush.

"Gomen, Pan," Trunks apologized, "hey... would you like to go for a walk?" Pan nodded.

"Sure, why not?" She said, then hopped in step beside Trunks as they walked down the beach.

Trunks bobbed up and down as he walked down the beach. He grinned more than ever. Pan smiled along with him.

He's very giddy. So am I. Haha... Giddiness..., Pan thought.

He stopped suddenly and looked at the stars. Pan also turned her gaze to the stars, grinning.

Should I tell her now? Trunks thought to himself, Or should I wait?

Trunks smiled and turned to continue walking down the beach. Pan followed and was surprised when Trunks' hand found its way to hers. She gasped as they intertwined fingers and closed fists. They continued to walk. Trunks broke the silence.

"Pan, have you ever loved anyone?" Trunks asked out of no where. Pan blushed. She turned her head to look at Trunks while they continued to walk, leaving soft footprints in the sand behind them.

"Yes, I have," she said, smiling, "I believe I still am loving her, too..." Trunks' eyes popped open with the word "her." Pan burst out laughing.

"Just kidding, Trunks!" She said, grinning, "This giddiness is getting to me. But yes, I think I'm still in love with him." Trunks smiled.

"I've been in love, too." Trunks said, "Only with one person, though." Trunks smiled. "And I'm still in love with her...." Trunks stopped and turned to face Pan.

Pan swallowed hard. She looked into his deep blue eyes and became lost. Monotone, she spoke.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours..." She blinked and grinned.

"You want to know mine?" He asked slyly, gazing into her eyes. Pan nodded.

"I'll tell you as soon as this giddiness wears off!" He said and pulled Pan's hand to continue walking. He grinned and had a new bounce in his step.

Trunks looked up and felts a ki fly away. He smiled.

Gohan's ki. Thanks Gohan, for the privacy. Trunks thought to Gohan.

Gohan replied mentally, Do your best, Trunks...

Then Gohan turned his thoughts to Pan. You too, Pan...

Pan smiled as she heard her father's words. She stopped and held Trunks back. He looked at her strangely.

"Trunks, listen to me," She started, "My whole life I've loved one person. Only one person. I thought he was the only one to make me whole; make me complete. Everything he did made me feel good. He's the best person I know. He always does the best thing." She took a deep breath as Trunks grinned. She continued.

"This man would fight till the death for anyone. He's the type of man every single girl would want. That's why I fell for him."

Trunks smiled. Pan continued.

"I never thought I'd be telling this person how I felt about him. I always thought he was too good for me. But I'm finding myself telling him now..." Tears started to well up in her eyes. Trunks pulled her close to him, enveloping his arms around her.

"I love him, Trunks... " she sniffed, "I love you..."

Pan felt a wetness on her cheek as she pressed it against his chest. She was surprised. This was not her own tear she was feeling. She looked up to find Trunks crying.

"Pan..." He said, letting a tear escape, "I'm so flattered. It's hard to believe someone feels this deeply about me. It feels so good to have someone feel this way about you." He sighed.

Trunks looked down at her, "I realized a little bit ago that I was in love with you, myself. It feels like it's right, though. Like we're bonded together. I feel I can tell you anything. But that's not the only reason why I love you..."

He smiled and hugged her.

"You are the most wonderful, beautiful, strongest woman I've ever met. Being with you makes me happier. Talking to you makes me want to talk more. You're just incredible. That's why I love you, Pan. I love you."

"You... you love me.. .too?" She asked. Trunks nodded. Pan grinned and tackled Trunks into the sand.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!" she yelped, half laughing and half crying.

"Was afraid you didn't feel the same way, I guess," Trunks admitted, "It wasn't until your dad talked to me..." Pan grinned from ear to ear.

"Trunks, I have a confession..." Pan said, "I sort of... listened to you and my father talking..." Trunks smiled.

"Same old Pan..." he said, grinning. They leaned into a kiss that lasted a good while.

------------

Gohan layed in bed smiling. He had told her. He turned and wrapped his arms around his wife, kissing her.

"Our baby is growing up, Videl," He said to his wife. She smiled.

"Funny how fast they grow up," Videl replied. They turned over and went to sleep, holding one another.

------------

Pan and Trunks ended their kiss and sat up, holding each other. Both giddy and grinning. Pan looked around and found something that wasn't supposed to be on the beach. It was a heap of clothes. And a journal.

"Trunks, look," Pan said, pointing. Trunks nodded and tried to feel out Goten's ki. He found it, and it was raging. He looked out to the sea.

Bra stood, kissing Goten in the middle of the waves.

------------

Goten stood wide eyed, unable to move. The most beautiful creature he'd ever seen in his life was in front of him, and kissing him at that. He didn't know what to do. He wished that it would last forever, but he knew that just like swimming, you'd have to come up for air sometime.

Bra came up for air. She smiled at Goten and held up a locket.

"When were you going to tell me about this?" She said, grinning. Goten just gaped.

"B-chan... I... I thought... oh kami... " Goten stuttered his way along as he slapped his forehead. Bra laughed.

"Goten, please tell me why you wrote this in here..." Her smile turned to serious.

"You should know, B-chan..." He said, looking down, "You read it in my journal." Bra sighed.

"Goten, I'm really truely sorry for reading your journal," Bra said, "But I'm glad I found out how you feel." Goten sighed.

"I wanted to tell you myself..." Bra grabbed his head and held it straight so that he'd have to look into her eyes.

"Tell me now," Bra said. Goten sighed, but then smiled.

"It's been two years. Since I was fifteen." Goten said, "I've loved you since then. I believe you read that..." Bra smiled. She leaned over and whispered into his ear.

"Goten, do you want to know how I feel?" She asked. He looked at her with a confused look. She smiled.

"Since I was little, I've had a crush on you, Goten," She said, "Since that day we were playing on the swings. Since that day I you promised me that we'd get married together someday. Do you remember that day, Goten?"

Goten smiled. "Page 243 in my journal. I believe the journal entry date is May 14. I wrote it two years ago. The swings, the question, all of it. I remember it vividly...." He trailed off. Bra smiled at him.

"Goten, I thought that crush was just a childhood thing, just a phase. I didn't think it would continue with me until now." Bra said, "Funny thing is, I don't want that crush to end." Goten smiled. Bra continued.

"I know now that this crush has developed. Your journal entry just made me realize it. I, too, am in love. In love with you, Goten." Bra smiled as she told him.

Goten didn't know how to react. Bra didn't either, so they did what was natural. The two came together in an embrace.

Goten held Bra tenderly as the waves lapped at their wastes. Bra rested her head on his shoulder as he slowly stroked her back. She smiled.

Goten grinned. I can't believe it.

Believe it, dammit. came a voice. Take care of her, brat.

Goten knew who it was. He looked up to see Vegeta, floating in mid-air. He was grinning.

Arigato, Vegeta-san, Goten replied. Vegeta just nodded. He was out of there in a flash.

----------

Pan and Trunks smiled at each other as they watched the scene unfold before them. They grinned as the two walked out of the water. Both pulled on their clothes, never taking their eyes off each other. Goten and Bra kissed sweetly as they finished dressing. He handed his journal to her.

Pan and Trunks lay on the beach as the two walked along. Trunks found a shell and tossed it at Goten. It hit him in the head. Pan and Trunks suppressed laughs as they heard his reaction.

"OW!" Goten screamed, holding his head, "Damn bats flying over and dropping shells on me on purpose! OW ow ow ow...." Bra cradled his head and smiled.

"It's okay, Goten!" she comforted, kissing his head. He picked up a shell and chucked it at Trunks, who was newly discovered by him.

Trunks and Pan got up before the shell hit and appeared in front of Goten and Bra.

"Well well," Trunks grinned, "look who finally got together!"

"Bout time..." Pan said, "Who confessed first?"

Goten blushed. "Bra did verbally, I did in written words..."

Trunks handed Pan five bucks. "You win," he said, smirking.

Goten and Bra sweatdropped.

"Speaking of people getting together," Bra started, "Looks like we're not the only ones..." Trunks pulled Pan to him and grinned. The four walked down the beach back to the beach house. They'd never been happier.
