Pan and Trunks returned home later that day. Gohan was waiting anxiously for his daughter to come back. When she did he walked up to her and gave her a big hug. Pan was caught off guard. She was expecting him to yell at her, or not speak to her at all.
When he released her from his embrace, he looked at her and smiled the patented Son smile.
"If this is what makes you happy, Panny, then this is what you'll get."
"Thank you, Daddy."
Gohan looked over to Trunks and stared him down. Trunks was beginning to get a little nervous.
"I'd like to have a little word with you Trunks."
"Y-Yes sir." gulped Trunks.
While Gohan lead Trunks outside, Videl walked over to Pan.
"Do you think Daddy'll hurt him?"
"No. I had a little talk with him earlier today. Trunks is safe."
Pan sighed.
"Thank Dende."
"So how are you going to break the news to Damion?"
"I think I'll do it at dinner tonight. We were supposed to go out."
"Oh. That sounds good."

******************************

Gohan lead Trunks to a wooded area by the side of Caps. Corps. When they reached their destination, he stopped and turned around. Trunks looked at Gohan, afraid of what he was about to do.
"Trunks...my Panny has always had a crush on you. At first I was hoping that she would just get over it after some time passed. But she didn't. Instead, her crush only seemed to grow and develop. Now there is no denying that she loves you. So you had better be good to her."
"Gohan, I would never hurt her. She's too important to me. You said she loves me, right? Well, I love her too. She means everything to me."
"Then there is no reason for us to have this conversation anymore. I'll see you around."
Trunks nodded and headed back to his house. He got there just as Pan and Videl were leaving.
"Where are you going, Pan?"
"Oh I have a date tonight, and I have to get ready. I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Wait...You have a date?"
"Hai...with Damion."
Pan looked at Trunks, and revelled in the shocked expression on his face.
~I love playing games with him...he's so gullible...~
"Don't worry, Trunks. I was planning on breaking up with him. Do you honestly think that I would stay with him after everything that has happened?"
Pan gave Trunks a quick kiss on the lips and walked to the car, giggling the entire way. Trunks just sat there with a sheepish look on his face.

********************************

Later that night, Pan was sitting on her couch waiting for Damion to pick her up. At about 7:30, she heard a knock on the door.
"WHO IS IT???"
"It's Damion."
"Mom Damion's here! I'll see you later!"
"K, ja-ne!"
Pan walked over and opened the door. She looked up to see her soon to be ex-boyfriend. He was usually a very handsome man, but tonight he looked extra handsome. He was dressed in a nice, dark blue suit. His medium brown hair was slicked back, and his blue eyes looked even brighter than usual.
"You ready, Pan?"
"Hai. Let's go."
Damion escorted Pan to his car and opened the door for her. Pan didn't say a word to him the entire way to the restaurant. When they were seated at their table, Damion's curiousity about her mood got the better of him.
"Pan...is something bothering you? You've hardly said a word all night."
"Hmm? Oh..uh..no I'm fine. There's just a lot on my mind right now."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I have something that I've been wanting to ask you for a long time now."
"Before you say anything Damion. I have something to tell you."
"What's that?"
"Well, you know that I really care about you. We've been dating exclusively for about nine months now, and..."
"Pan, I know what you are going to say."
Pan was a little surprised. Had she made it that obvious that she was going to break up with him?
"You do?"
"Yes. And I couldn't agree more..."
"Good. I was afraid you wouldn't take it the right way."
"I'm in love with you too Pan."
Pan's jaw dropped.
~I knew this was too easy~
"Wait Damion. I think you misunders-"
Damion didn't give her the chance to finish.
"Pan...I love you so much. I would be honored if you would be my wife. Will you marry me?"
Pan gasped. Why did her life have to be so complicated? Breaking up with him wasn't supposed to be this difficult.
"Damion...that wasn't what I was trying to say. I was trying to say that..."
"What are you saying Pan?"
"I'm saying that I've met someone else."
~There...I said it...I wonder how loud he's gonna yell..."
"YOU WHAT??!!"
~Okay...that was a little louder than I was expecting..."
"You've met someone else? How could you do this to me?"
"I'm sorry Damion. I've loved this guy for a long time, but until recently I didn't think he returned those feelings. When I found out he did, I couldn't just ignore the way I felt."
"So if that's the case...why were you with me at all?"
"I told you I didn't think he would return my feelings. I was trying to move on."
"I see what this is. I was just a way out for you. Someone to make you feel good for a little while, until you lost interest."
"That's not it at all. Don't be this way Damion. If you love me like you say you do, you would want me to be happy. Whether it was with you or not."
"I don't believe this....I'm leaving. You can find your own way home."
"Fine. I will."
Pan got up and walked out of the restaurant. She was about to fly home when an idea came to her. She ran over to a phone and called Trunks. Fifteen minutes later Trunks pulled up with in a limo. He got out and greeted her with a deep, passionate kiss. Damion was watching the entire thing. The sight of her kissing another man sent him over the edge.
"So this is the guy you dumped me for."
Pan and Trunks looked over to see a very mad Damion. He stormed over to them, and pushed Trunks away from Pan.
"If you think that I'm going to give her up so easily, pretty boy, you've got another think coming."
Trunks looked over to Pan with a cocky smirk on his face.
"I told you you had that effect on more people than just me."
"Well, there goes five bucks out of my pocket."
"Errrr...ENOUGH OF THIS!"
Damion punched Trunks right on his jaw, but to Damion's dismay, it didn't even phase him. He tried punching him in the gut, but that had an even lesser effect on him than the first punch.
"Is that supposed to hurt? You know, there's a reason that she chose me over you."
Trunks pulled his fist back, but before he threw it forward Pan stopped him.
"Trunks, wait! You'll hurt him."
"But he hit me first."
"Trunks...you seem to be forgetting your roots."
"What do my roots have to do with this?....ooohhhh, I get it. Gomen nasai."
"Let's just go, Trunks. Okay?"
"Alright."
Trunks walked past Damion and grabbed Pan by the hand. He lead her over to the limo and stepped in with her. The limo pulled away leaving a stunned and confused Damion behind.

************************************

"So, I'm guessing he didn't take the break up very well."
"Nope. He probably would have taken it better if he hadn't proposed first."
"Oh man! He proposed? That must have been terrible for him."
"You're really making me feel bad about this."
"Gomen Pan-chan. So why did you have me pick you up? You could have flied home."
"I know, but I wanted to see you. I was kinda hoping you'd pick me up in a limo. Thanks for coming all the way out here."
"Anything for you."
Pan sighed and leaned her head on Trunks' shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to talk to Marron tomorrow to make sure that she doesn't hate me."
"She doesn't hate you. She hates me."
"Well then I need to talk to her about not hating you."
"Let's not worry about that right now. We're almost home."
Trunks leaned down and gave Pan a kiss on the lips. It was only meant to be a quick kiss on the lips, but it ended up being more. When the limo stopped, Pan and Trunks came back into reality and discovered that at some point in their little make-out session Pan had straddled Trunks' hips, and Trunks' hands had moved to firmly grasp Pan's bottom. With both of them blushing furiously, they got up. Trunks exited the limo and then helped Pan out. He walked her up to her door and kissed her good night. When he was gone, Pan entered her house with a huge grin on her face. She was startled from her reveree by her ever so curious mother.
"You never cease to amaze me, Pan. You left with one boy, and came home with another."
Pan's blush deepened and she quickly went up to her room. She changed into her nightgown and laid down on her bed. She was anxious about talking to Marron, but that didn't stop her from drifting off into a deep sleep.

******************************************

The next morning, Pan woke up to her alarm clock. She tried to find it without getting up, but when that failed she sat up, grabbed it, and threw it across the room. She could tell this was going to be a long day.
