Ch3


Okay, I know this is short, but it's as good as I could get, so far. There will be more to come, I
promise, hopefully by the end of the weekend, I can be done this story. Hopefully. And to all that
have been waitng so patiently for this chapter to be out, well, here it is. And all I have to say is
that I'm sorry for being so damned lazy. So here ya go. Hpe you like this tiny little chapter!!!!


Watching Pan leave, Trunks growled to himself. Shaking his head, he turned to head back
to Capsule Corp. He was outraged. How could Pan do that to him? She had no right to make
him feel that way at all.

"Sorry?!? She's SORRY?!? Damn rights, she should be!" Trunks cursed as he slammed
his fist into the ground. "Playing with me like that? She must know what I feel for her! How
could she not? Now, she crosses the line like that and all she could say is SORRY!?!"

Climbing to his feet, Trunks dusted the leaves and dirt from his knees. Around him the air
began to crackle and spark with energy as the purple haired man vented his frustrations. Soon his
whole body radiated with a aura of radiant blue light. Looking to the heavens he let loose a pulse
of pure energy. Tearing through the air the energy ripped through cloud cover, evaporating it
completely. Without losing any speed or power the blue bolt of energy shot straight through the
upper atmosphere and out into the cold vaccuum of space. Once it met no more resistance from
Earth's natural gravity, or the friction from actual air, the shaft of energy began to actually pick
up speed, instead of slowing.

"Shit!" Trunks growled as he realized what he had done. There were orbiting Capsule
Corp. satellites up there, and he knew that he would catch hell from his own mother if any were
damaged. Setting his teeth, Trunks concentrated on the energy that he had just released,
concentrating on it disappearing. He wasn't quite sure what he was doing, but as he looked up,
the bolt of energy seemed to quiver, and slowly disappear. Squinting at the sky, Trunks could
make out what looked like a soft rain falling from above. The energy that Trunks had shot in the
sky as a deadly bolt of light had dissipated and was falling back to Earth like snow. The energy
was settling on him and the surrounding terrain. His skin was dusted with the lightly glowing
energy, and he was able to brush it from his skin like dirt. Amazed at what he had just
accomplished Trunks grinned and spun, automatically thinking that Pan was right by his side,
experiencing this with him. The smile soon fell from his face. She was gone, and although it was
her that instigated the kiss, Trunks knew that it had been coming for a while now. And...he
enjoyed it.

Looking down at the dusted ground, Trunks could already see the blue glow begin the
fade as the ground quickly absorbed the new energy. Sinking to his knees, Trunks realized that he
really had no right to treat Pan the way he did, because whatever she felt, he knew that he felt it
too.

Wind rushed past her ears in a hollow drone, and it dried her tears as soon as they fell
from her dark eyes. She couldn't believe that she had just done that. She had just put in jeopardy
the greatest friendship she ever had. Growling deep in her throat, she knew that it would have
happened, sooner or later, but she never expected this reaction. In her dreams, both awake and
asleep, Trunks would wrap his strong arms around her, and everything would be alright.
Squeezing her eyes shut, she forced the flood of tears to ebb, and stopped her sobbing. She
would not act like such a wuss. She was the daughter of Gohan and Videl, granddaughter to
Goku and ChiChi!!! That lineage itself should have made a tougher descendant. One that wasn't
so dependent upon what people, men especially, thought about her. If she wanted to, she could
destroy this whole planet in a heartbeat. And sometimes, she knew that she wanted to.

That realization alone made her stop dead in the air. Her long black hair flew into her eyes
as the sonic boom created by her supersonic flight washed over her. Impatiently, she pushed it
back What would her parents think if they knew that she felt like this? She always knew that with
being part Saiyan she had to keep her anger in check, to keep from hurt anyone 'normal' on this
planet. And this thought filled her with a different kind of rage. She was sick and tired of having
to tiptoe around the 'normal' human population, for fear of hurting them, or for fear of being
'discovered'.
"This is such bullshit." Pan said softly under her breath. She knew that she was just mad,
mad at herself, mad at Trunks, and mad at the world. However, feeling all of this rage inside her
made her feel that she could understand Vegeta a little better, so there was a little, small,
minuscule plus to all this. "Yeah, woo hoo. BIG plus." Pan thought to herself, if this was the
price to pay to understand that man? It wasn't worth it. Fighting to gain control over her erratic
thoughts, Pan squeezed her eyes closed once more. As calm began to wash over her, she realized
that she had began to search out Trunks ki, without even knowing it.

Her eyes flashed open and she spun to look at the direction that she had came from as she
felt Trunks power reach his limit, and just a little beyond. A blue shaft of light suddenly burst
from the ground and shot directly into the sky, and Pan knew that it was Trunks' doing. "So he's
blowing off some steam, huh? Good for him." Pan thought sarcastically. She could do the exact
same thing, y'know. And , of course, she could do it better. More annoyed by the gesture than
anything, Pan turned to leave, to go to a place no one could find her. Not for a very, very long
time. Well, at least for the weekend. She had things to sort out, and there was no way that she
could do it in her parents house. They seemed to have some sort of sixth sense when it came to
parenting. As soon as something was wrong, her father was on her back in no time, practically
forcing her to tell him what was wrong. Powering up just a little, Pan was about to once again
leap into a supersonic flight when she felt a slight variation in the power that Trunks was putting
out. Turning back around again, Pan saw the shaft of light seem to shudder slightly, and then
begin to disperse. The remaining energy fell like snow, covering the country side for miles
around. As the energy particles touched her skin, Pan could feel the remnant energies of Trunks
in each and every one of them, and she felt as if she was going to start crying again. Her lonliness
return with a loud rush of guilt and despair. It was her fault that their freindship was in jeopardy,
her fault that she may never be able to face Trunks again. Wanting to get away fromTrunks and
the energy shower that was created by him, Pan powered up to near SS level and took off to the
south, to a remote part of the world, hoping that once she's there, she will be able to sort out her
jumbled thoughts, and hopefully, just hopefully, stop with the crying, once and for all. She was
getting sick of it.
