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.
