Pan flew faster than ever before. She was desperate to get away from it all. The scenes just kept replaying in her head, it would not stop. Trunks was behind her and she knew that, but she did not want to face him now. She didn't want to see the one man she had truly loved, the one man who had broken her heart more than once. Ever since she had met him, he had caused her heartbreak.
After that night in the park, she thought it was over. No more pain, no more obstacles, that they would be together at last. But now she knew exactly how wrong she was. There would always be a obstacle in their way, first it was his other dates, now it was Marron. The thought of her name made Pan's blood boil. ' Trunks, promise me you won't leave me ever,' Pan cried, as she tightened her arms around him.' I promise I won't, I'll never hurt you again, I'd rather die than do that.'
" I promise I won't, I'll never hurt you again, I'd rather die than do that," Pan repeated his words to herself, as the tears formed in her eyes. That night in the park was one she would remember forever.
Trunks was gaining on her, and she knew it. She didn't care, this was all too much. It seemed like a bad dream, a nightmare. She would wake up and tell Trunks about it later, they'd laugh and then he'd comfort her by just holding her in his arms. That was all she ever needed. All she ever wanted was to be in his arms, but she knew this was no dream, it was as real as that kiss Marron gave Trunks.
Trunks was mentally kicking himself. ' Why didn't I tell her? Why did I lie to her? Now it's even worse. If only I've told her sooner.' He was going to have to speed up if he wanted to catch up to Pan. One half of him wanted to catch up and explain everything, but the other didn't. Suddenly to his surprise Pan slowed down and came to a complete stop, then she turned and faced him. Her face was blank, if she felt anything at all right now, she didn't show it. Trunks shuddered at how much she reminded him of his father right now.
" Pan . . . honey listen before you do or say anything please," Trunks said as he advanced towards Pan. Pan floated there in mid-air with no reaction from Trunks' comment. She just floated as he came closer. " Pan back there, what you saw-" Trunks began, but was interrupted by a slap to the face. It didn't hurt him physically, but he was shocked Pan would hit him. He stared at her in confusion.
" Listen to me Trunks, and listen good. This is the only, and the last time you will hear this. I finally figured something out, we were not meant to be together. It's over. Every single time I think we've reached a deeper part of our relationship, it seems something always pops up and blocks our way. It never seems to fail. I can't take this anymore Trunks. I can endure any blow in a fight, but when it comes to my heart, I can't take very many. And those I've taken a lot of lately. That was the last."
" You've broken your promise to me Trunks, and I only come to trust some one once, if they fail me once I won't trust them again. I loved you Trunks, I still love you, but you'll never love me, not in the way I love you. You can't love me with all your heart, body, mind and soul. Maybe that's too much to ask of you, and I realize that now Trunks."
" Back there while I was flying away from you, I wished with all my heart that you'll have a wonderful explanation, like you weren't really proposing to Marron, that I misunderstood or something like that. I didn't face you yet, because I wanted to give you some time and myself some time, to find a explanation to all this, but I didn't, I couldn't. That's why I stopped running. You know the metaphor, if you run away from a shadow it becomes bigger, if you walk towards it, it becomes smaller. Well it's true. I had to face this sooner or later, I might as well get it over with now. So tell me Trunks, what's your explanation?"
Trunks was kind of speechless, there was no anger in her words at all. They were filled with so much sorrow and sadness. ' Cause maybe she released all the anger in that slap of hers. Man it would've hurt if I was human. Thank god Vegeta's my father.' " Pan honey, I wasn't proposing to Marron, I was just um, ah. Well I er- was ah-," Trunks sighed. ' How do you tell your girl that you were asking another girl for advice on how to propose to her?' Trunks floated forward and clasp her hand in his and looked at her straight in the eye. " Pan, I was asking Marron to give me some advice in how to go about doing this."
" Doing what?" Pan asked. A sudden twinkle gleamed in her eyes, she was hoping this would be the answer to this misunderstanding.
Trunks gave her a smile, the look in her eyes warmed his heart. He let go of her small hand, and reached into his pocket, but found nothing in it. ' Uh-oh, Marron still has the ring.' Trunks peered down at Pan, the hope in her eyes. Trunks wanted to slap himself. He didn't know what to do, so he did what came to his mind first. He leaned forward and kissed her. To his surprise he felt her tense up, so he quickly broke off the kiss. " Pan-" She slid out of his grasp and spun around so her back was to him.
" Don't even say it Trunks, the nerve of you. What were you asking Marron for? Advice on how to kiss a girl properly? I'm pretty sure you knew how to do that already! That is the lamest excuse ever. Trunks, go away and leave me alone. Go home, you've got a lot of thinking to do. I want you to think long and hard, and when you finally decide who you truly love, go tell some one who cares, because it'll be too late for us Trunks. It's already too late. I am not going to wait for you again Trunks. I've already waited too long. Tell Marron you two have my blessings, cause I really don't care anymore," Pan turned around and faced him.
There were no tears in her eyes, no sign of anger on her face. Her calm facade was scary. This woman who faced him right now did not resemble the woman he had pledged his love to a year ago. She was no longer a teary girl. She was a woman now, a woman who was in full control of her emotions. A woman who knew what she wanted, what she could have, and what she could be. Trunks was something- some one she didn't want anymore, and his girlfriend was not what she wanted to be.
" Good-bye Trunks." Her voice had a icy cold edge to it, that sent shivers up Trunks' spine. She gave a little bow to him, then spun around and flew off.
" Pan! Wait! You've got it all wrong!" Trunks shouted as he flew after her. He caught her wrist, and pulled her around to face him. He was greeted by a dangerous glare from Pan. She growled and said in a low voice, a little above a whisper. " Trunks let go of me." That would've sent anyone else, but Trunks running. His grip on her wrist did not even waver.
" No Pan, not until you listen to what I have to say."
" Trunks I am warning you, let go of me now!" If this was a normal night, Trunks would've released her almost at once. It was obvious she was pissed, and he knew it was a really bad thing to get a girl that can fight like her mad, not to mention she was part sayain. But if he let go of her tonight, she might never return to him again ever. His grip on her wrist tightened when the thought of losing her entered his mind.
" No Pan, unless you listen to me, I'm not going to let you go."
Pan shook her head slowly. " You brought this on yourself Trunks, Kami forgive me for this," Pan pounded a ki blast into Trunks face, which was too sudden for him to block, so as he result he started fall towards the ground. Pan hesitated for a moment, when she saw him fall, but when she saw Marron coming towards him in a air car, the moment of hesitation ended, and she flew off, not even glancing back once at the fallen warrior. If she didn't look back now, she knew she wouldn't have a reason to ever look back again. ' Never look back Pan.'
When he shook off the effects of the blast, Trunks immediately pulled himself up, and searched the area for any sign of his beloved, but Pan was nowhere to be found. " Oh Kami! What did I do to deserve this? Pan . . ." Trunks didn't know what to do.
He had never ever, even in his darkest nightmare, dream that Pan would hit him like she did. Now he knew how much she was hurting. If the blast had hurt him this much, she was hurting a million times more. He let out a sigh of confusion, and fell backwards staring up at the night sky. Suddenly Pan's face appeared in the sky, her face filled with sorrow and pain, running away from him. This shattered Trunks heart as he got up and decided to do what he had to do.
