'Pan or Bra or some other person's thoughts'
|Trunks' thoughts|
/Goten's thoughts/
(Author's notes)
Chapter 3: Familiar
Pan floated above the forest, trying to remember where the clearing was. She decided it was best to retrace her steps and look for the clearing.
"Hey Bra, I'm gonna look for Geta. Stay here and if I find him, I'll come back."
"Sure. Be careful Pan. And remember, always use protection." said a giggly Bra.
"Bra!" Pan pouted as she made her way down to the forest ground. She never made contact with the ground, instead she hovered a foot above the dirt keeping a look out for anybody present.
~*~*~Pan's POV~*~*~
I'll just look around. That birch looks familiar. Hmm I hear something. Is that water? Yeah it is, the moon's reflecting off the stream. I'll just investigate..
~*~*~Normal POV~*~*~
Pan floated over the calm river, following it downstream, she came across a drop. 'A waterfall?' Pan thought. She floated slowly down and realized it was a waterfall. Not a very big one at that, probably only 10 feet high, but a waterfall nonetheless. Suddenly a hand grabbed Pan into the waterfall (sorry if it's a little predictable..) shocking her before she was pinned down with strong arms. 'Déjà vu?' Pan thought before she was once again thrust back into reality by a light masculine chuckle. 'That chuckle.. Geta.' Pan decided as she recovered from her fall. She was infuriated to find that her clothes were soaking wet from the entry through the water, and that Geta was laughing at her not-so-dry state. Pan frowned when she noticed that he was still in the shadows. Even with her superior saiyan eyesight, she can barely see the outline of Geta. She assumed that he probably couldn't see her either.
"Geta, can you see me?" Pan said while ki drying herself off.
"Of course." (which isn't really the truth, but we all know how Trunks likes to brag..) At Pan's confused look, Geta or should I say Trunks, explained. ||Well I can't tell her I'm a saiyan, she might get frightened. OH, HELLO! I'M AN ALIEN, WHO'S RACE ARE SUPER POWERFUL BEINGS THAT ANNIHALATED AND PURGED HALF THE UNIVERSE!|| Trunks thought, sarcasm dripping from every word (that was in caps!).
"Well I can't see you all that clear. But um, well I have sorta like a sixth sense."
"Sugoi! Me too! But I still can't see you in the dark."
"Well then, you don't have much of a sixth sense." Trunks chuckled again as Pan hit him. Hard.
"Take that back!" Pan yelled pretending to be mad, pouting cutely and turning her back to Trunks. She didn't know that her supposed "light" punch really did hurt Trunks, who at the time was not prepared for her attack. After realizing that Trunks was awfully silent, Pan turned her head around and realized Trunks was trying to regain his composure, his breathe labored. "I'm sorry. But it serves you right." Pan said, feeling sorry for her actions, but not about to go soft. 'What's happening to me, I've hurt tons of guys before. Can't go soft, I'm Pan.'
"Hey! Don't get mad, get glad! 'cuz Tr - Geta's around!" Trunks laughed wrapping his arms around Pan's waist. He lay his cheek on Pan's silky hair and smelled her intoxicating scent. ||Mmm I smell peaches, and a light hint of jasmine, an herb or something..|| He liked it, it was very natural, unlike most girls who had very stuffy flowery scents. "You smell nice." Pan giggled and laughed cutely. She bent her head back snuggling into the crook of his neck. ||'I can't believe I'm doing this...'||
'Do I smell cinnamon, and.. chicken?' Pan thought. "As do you Geta. I smell chicken." Trunks blushed at this, recalling the chicken he had for dinner. "Thanks I think…." Pan giggled.
"Listen I'm very sorry Goma, about yesterday, that wasn't the real me, I mean I was just really territorial then, and I was frustrated because someone broke into my personal space. But it doesn't really matter now, because you can get as personal as you want.."
She pondered the depth behind this sentence, and once again, Pan giggled. "I'll keep that in mind." She said before a blanket of silence went over them, and the two just stayed content in each other's touch.
"So what were you about to say? Before you cut it off with Geta?" Pan asked, her back still facing Trunks in their embrace.
||Uh oh.|| "Nothing, I was going to say you have a tr-trusty friend around." (she's referring to the 'Don't get Mad, get Glad!' line)
"Oh. Ok" Pan was sure she sensed a tenseness in Geta's body when she asked the question. After a moment of silence and contemplation, Trunks finally spoke up (déjà vu anyone?).
"So I've never seen you around before Goma, you new in town or something?"
"Yeah I moved here about a week and half ago."
"Hai, so how do you like it here? Settling in and stuff?"
"Yeah, I've made a couple of friends. Oh no! Um my friend Bra wants to meet you, she's waiting outside somewhere.. can she meet you?"
Trunks looked at "Goma" in worry, he saw in her eyes anticipation and excitement, like when a little girl is begging her father for a new toy she just saw on TV. He sighed, he knew that "Goma" wanted him to meet her friend, but Bra, that's his sisters name, and frankly he couldn't risk being seen by his sister. He really liked her, and didn't want this to end because of his bad reputation as a player. And these feelings were so confusing to him, he liked Goma, but it was more than lust which was usually the case in Trunks' relationships. This was different. Although he only knew this girl a short time, he felt that they knew each other forever, that they truly understood one another. And this girl, was unlike all the other girls he met before. This girl was wild, untamed by civilization. Not held down by material things like nails (oh my nails! typing is so darn hard. hehe ^_^) or clothes. And this appealed to the wild saiyan side of him greatly.
"I'm sorry Goma, but no."
"Oh, ok. But why?"
"Um, well I don't want to show my face to Bra ||This is true…||" Trunks said, adding the last part silently.
"Why? Geta, don't be self conscious! I'm sure you're very handsome."
||Great now she thinks I'm unattractive.|| "I'm not unpleasant to look at. In fact, I'm very attractive! Who wouldn't love my baby blues?! And my cool hair? Which is not pink may I tell you, it just looks pink in the wrong light!" Trunks stubborn and egotistical side flaring (well he is Vegeta's son!).
"Well mister I'm sure you have very sexy baby blues. Would you meet my friend Bra then?"
"Umm ok. Just hold on a sec ok?"
"K, I'll wait for you outside." Pan said before she floated through the waterfall, water dodging around her in a full circle, outlining her ki shield, which she conveniently put up so that she wouldn't get wet, again. As soon as she left, Trunks put on his hood and silently prayed that it would hide his hair and face from Bra. He exited the cave and joined Pan. He followed Pan as she flew up over the trees and towards a blue figure floating in the sky. ||Here goes nothing.|| Trunks thought before he was a mere 10 feet away from Bra. The blue haired demi-saiyan turned around and smiled at the raven haired demi-saiyan. She then shifted her gaze left to eye a well built man wearing a pair of black baggy pants and a black hoody, which concealed his hair and face. She did however, catch the moon's light reflect off bright blue eyes in the shadows of the hood.
"So you must be Geta. Pan's told me a lot about you..." Bra started.
"Really? What exactly did she say?" Trunks asked, starting to get interested.
Bra shifted her gaze towards Pan, who was behind Trunks, mouthing to Bra 'stop' and trying to signal Bra to stop talking with a no sign. (u know with the crossing of the arms?)
"Well... she said that you were a very annoying person, in fact, you guys met on the weirdest terms. But she's completely captivated by you, she's never met anyone like you, right Pan?
"Pan?" Trunks said. ||Why did Bra just call Goma Pan? Wait, Pan, isn't that Goten's neice? Bra's new friend? Kami, Bra's new friend, does that mean that Pan is Goma? Only one way to find out.|| By the time of Trunks' train of thought, Pan had already flew over to Bra and covered her mouth from saying any more. "Goma, is your real name Pan?" Trunks asked.
"Yes. I'm sorry I lied to you Geta. It's just that I was afraid to reveal my identity to a complete stranger, well at the time I mean." Pan said, all the while looking at her shoes like they just sprouted ears. "Gomen nasai."
"Hey no problem babe!" Trunks said, happy because he too had a secret to reveal, but not here, not with Bra around. "Um, Bra, may I speak with Gom - Pan, alone?"
"Sure, no problem."
"Um, you know what Bra? Geta doesn't exactly feel COMFORTABLE revealing his face, he thinks he's ugly- "
"DO NOT!" Trunks interjected. Bra giggled at the cuteness of the two.
"Anyways, so why don't we meet tomorrow night, when I have Geta out of his shell. I promise."
"Fine with me! But Geta you better remember, I want Pan in ONE piece. OR ELSE!"
Trunks chuckled. "Or else what?"
Bra paused a moment to think of something. "..Or else I'll sic my brother on you! He's really powerful!"
Pan laughed out loud. She was rolling in the laughter, and from a distance her body looked like they were doing tricks in the air. Rolling and whirling around. After a minute, Bra accompanied her friend in the laughter and with tear filled eyes she stuttered to say: "Never mind that Geta, my brother would never stick up for Pan unless it involves danger to me."
Trunks somewhat hurt decided to make a comeback. "I'm sure he would of helped. Deep down inside, every guy is good, right?" No answer. "RIGHT?!" This time, the only answer to was the ferocious nodding of the two giddy girls. Bra was the first to collect herself.
"Anyways, I've got to go. Dad would probably blow a gasket when I get home. See ya guys!" Bra said immediately heading towards Capsule Corp. leaving the two lovers alone. As soon as she was out of sight, Pan spoke.
"So you said you needed to tell me something?"
"Yeah." Trunks floated in front of Pan, the two figures in the sky silhouetted by the light of the crescent moon above them.
"Wait, I have to tell you something first." Gathering up her courage, she spoke up. "I'm a saiyan. A demi saiyan at least. In other words I'm an alien. The saiyans are an extremely strong race, and we possess special powers like flight or ki beams. You remind me of a man called Krillin that my father once told me about. He was human, but he had the power of flight like you do. My father is Son Gohan..." She was interrupted again by Trunks.
"Gohan-sama.." Trunks said, recognizing his trainer's name immediately.
"You know my father?"
"Yes. He was my trainer from a long time ago.. I, I'm a saiyan too."
"You are?" Pan said, her mind processing the data and trying to figure out who Geta was. 'Saiyans are nearly extinct, and the only possible male saiyans are father, Goten, Vegeta, and... Trunks.. oh my god, is this' "Trunks."
"Yes, I'm sorry I lied to you also, I.." Trunks said after flipping off his hood and revealing his identity.
For a moment, Pan wanted to embrace Trunks and cry in his arms. But then she remembered all the things that Bra had said about her brother. How he liked to toy with women. How he enjoyed breaking their hearts. How he was a player. No, she would not be subject to this mutilation. She would not give him the satisfaction.
Trunks tried to get closer to Pan and to hold her in his arms. But as soon as he was within touch, she pushed him away and propelled herself towards home. She knew that she couldn't go to Capsule Corp. to talk to Bra, it was also Trunks' home also, and the only refuge she could seek was at home. But she knew that she couldn't reveal the location of her home to Trunks, so instead of flying, she blocked off her ki and dropped into the forest. There she wept silently through the night.
