School's out! YAY!!! FRRREEEDOOMMM!!! Anyways, it's been a week, and here's the next chapter. It's got two parts. The first part you'll see below is what happened while T/P were in the training room dojiggy in the last chapter, and then it picks up after that. No need to worry it ain't as confusing as it seems.

Next, there are two songs in this fic. One is "From my head to my heart" by Evan and Jaron. and the other is "If I told you that" by Whitney Houston.

Disclaimer: Nope no

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

Goten peeked from behind the wall, "Bra, come here," he whispered to Bra as she turned and skipped near him, leaving her friend and brother behind to eat the... food.

"What did you want to tell me this morning Goten?"


Once again, I just can't get it straight
Wondering If wandering is my fate


"Uhhh Bra...." Goten said trying to calm his nervous body and mind. "I think I need to tell you something... and possibly explain it to ....you." He shivered in fear. He had never had to do anything like this before. He feared his life was over. He knew it would be if she wasn't bonded in return.

Bra blinked, "Okay, shoot Goten. I'm all ears!"

"I....I.... I dunno if I can do this Bra... we both could end up hurt..... but if I don't...."


But don't lose hope in me quite yet
'Cause help must be on the way, any day


Bra was starting to get concerned. This must be something important for Goten to get so worked up. She'd never seen Goten thinking so hard before. He made it seem like a life or death thing. That he'd end up dead if he didn't tell her. "Goten, are you okay?"

"No."

"What's wrong?" She asked even more concerned than before, "Can I help you in anyway?"

Goten coughed.


From my head to my heart
Can't seem to find a way they're so far a part


"What's the matter Goten?! You can tell me!" Bra almost shouted as she knelt down next to him, putting her hands on his shoulders for support.

"Bra...!" he mumbled shrugging his shoulders for her to let go and moving to lean against the wall of the hallway. He motioned for her to copy his action, only on the other side.

"What is wrong Goten?" Bra asked sternly from her spot on the floor, "Why are you acting so weird?" His actions scared her.

"I've bonded to you Bra-chan."


It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want


The breath caught in Bra's throat. She tried her best to wipe the look of horror and shock she held on her face. She shouldn't feel that way. She felt the same way for Goten, she was bonded to him also.

Goten's eyes were on the verge of tears, "I'm so sorry Bra. Maybe I shouldn't have told you... I just didn't want to be an old moper like your brother... I really am bonded to you, but if you're not bonded to me in return I totally understand."


You've always understood my intentions are good
And we've been so close from the start


Goten started to bury his face in his hands, "I'm so sorry..."

"Don't be."

Goten looked up at the confused 23 year old demi-saiya-jin in front of him, "What?"

"I'm bonded to you also..."

"Really?"

Bra's face softened, "Yeah."

Goten leapt for joy and gave Bra a hug, "This is wonderful!"


The furthest distance I've ever known is
From my head to my heart


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

(AN: Now, this picks up from the end of the last chapter.)

Trunks sat next to Pan as the heat from the room slowly drained out.

"Trunks, do you think Goten and Bra will find us soon?" Pan asked through chattering teeth.

"Well, I believe your uncle was telling my sister that he is bonded to her, that could take a while."

Pan winced, "My uncle is a brave soul. I doubt I'd ever be able to tell someone I was bonded to them."

"Me neither."


I feel the distance, sitting here next to you
I don't want to keep you waiting, but I've been waiting too


"You mean," Pan said sitting forward to look Trunks in the eye, "That you have never told the person you bonded to that you are?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because Pan-chan," Trunks said, getting uneasy, "Bonding doesn't always go both ways. I'm afraid that the one I'm bonded to won't be bonded to me."

Pan sighed, "Me too."


Someday I'll get there and you still want me too
We can see it through


"I dunno if I could ever tell them... bonding is a scary thing."

"What's so scary about it?" Pan asked, confused. She'd never heard of bonding being scary before.

"Well, if the person did not bond back, then you are destined for loneliness. A Saiya-jin can only bond once."

Pan frowned, "That's true..."


From my head to my heart
Can't seem to find a way they're so far a part


"You'll have to tell them one day though Trunks, won't you?" Pan asked laying down on her back, laying her head in Trunks' lap, and staring up into his eyes. She repeated herself, "Won't you Trunks?"

Trunks didn't respond.

"You are going to let that poor person suffer forever?"

"Who said they were suffering?"

"How do you know they aren't?!"


It's not you, it's not your fault
You've got everything I could ever want


"What do you mean?!"

"If you were bonded to them you'd know if it was hurting them or not!"

"I would..."

"So are they?"

"Yes...."


You've always understood my intentions were good
And we've been so close from the start


"So..." Pan said softly, "Are you going to tell her?"

"Sure," Trunks said, "On my death bed."

"TRUNKS VEGETA BRIEFS!"


The furthest distance I've ever known
Is from my head to my heart
(End song)


The door quickly opened, "Guys!" Goten shouted, "We've been hit."

"We knew that."

"Well, we were hit by a missile. It turns out this planet in under a war."

"WHAT?!"

"How do you know?" Pan asked as she sat up.

Goten narrowed his eyes, "Our ship is in a repair shop on the planet. Bra is with some of the women of this planet. Trunks we're going to need to fix you up and take you with us to the battle. Pan you need to be fixed up and stay here with Bra. Now come on."

Pan's heart shattered into a million pieces. They were going to take Trunks to war? He could be killed! She'd suffer a lifetime of loneliness. He'd never know. The color drained from her face. "T..runks...." Pan mumbled as she got dizzy and fainted.


(Enter new song)
Now tell me how you would feel if I told you
That I have feelings for you


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

Pan felt a warm cloth on her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes as the blurry world came into clear view, "Trunks?" she mumbled attempting to identify to figure.

"Shhh...," he said placing a finger on her lips.

"What happened?"

"Calm down," Trunks mumbled, "You passed out is all."


And would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind


Pan tried to replay the moments of earlier that day, "Trunks!" she gasped, "You can't go to this war! You can't!"

"I have to," Trunks said looking down, "these people need my help."

"But Trunks..." Pan said laying back on the bed, "*I* need your help."


I'm sorry I have to
We were friends
But with time what I feel inside for you has changed


Trunks looked at Pan with quizzical shock, "What?"

"I need you here Trunks." Pan replied as she felt her tears fall. She was going to tell him. How would he react? Was she the one he didn't want to admit to being bonded to? She prayed she was.

Trunks blinked trying to process the information.


But I'd give up on love if I thought
That it was untrue for you


Trunks slowly stood, "Bra! Come here and help Pan-chan!"

Bra came rushing in, as Trunks came rushing out.

Bra knelt down by Pan and moved the cloth on her forehead, "What happened Pan?"

"Bra," Pan said unable to fight her tears anymore, "I blew it."


If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep
What would you say if I told you that?


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

Trunks walked into the chamber he shared with Goten, "Oh Dende." He turned and started to bang his head on the wall.

"Something wrong?" Goten asked, tilting his head.

Trunks continued to bang his head, "Pan (ouch) just (ouch) about (ouch) told me (ouch) that (ouch) she was (ouch) bonded (ouch) to me (ouch)."

Goten winced, "Stop that. And what did you do?"

"I walked away without saying anything."

"Idiot," Goten said shaking his head, "Never copy my stupid actions."


I know that we were just friends
But what if I decide to bring something in?


"What do I do now Goten?" Trunks asked sitting down, he had no idea how he would apologize to Pan. "What do I say? 'I'm so sorry Pan! I walked away like that because I was bonded to you also!'?"

"Sounds good to me," Goten said tying his shoes.

"Huh?"


I hope it won't offend the trust
We have 'cause I don't want this to end
If you think we'll lose what we have
Then I'd rather just stay the same


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

Pan and Bra stood silently by the door, waiting. Bra's head rose and face brightened when Trunks and Goten walked in. She hugged her brother, then turned to Goten. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply and passionately.

Pan stayed still, facing to the floor.

"Good-bye Bra," Trunks mumbled as he passed his friend and sister. He stopped when he approached Pan.


'Cause I don't wanna choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
Tell me


"Pan..." Trunks started.

Pan mumbled something under breath.

"What was that?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"Good-bye. You better not die Trunks," she repeated.


If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll aways keep you
What would you say if I told you that?


Trunks tried to look Pan in the eyes, "I'll come back Pan-*chan*. I promise you I will."

"I'm sure you will."

"And,..." Trunks said looking at the ground, "I need your help too. So you better stay and be careful."

Pan looked up at Trunks with shock.


If we take this chance and extend
To each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me


Trunks put his hand under Pan's chin, "Be safe little Pan-chan. You'll be with me..."

Pan felt a river well up once again, but this time she wrapped her arms around his neck in a similar action to Bra's, and kissed him.


If I told you that I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say if I told you that


Goten and Trunks both had to let the girls go. Each giving their mate a kiss on the cheek, they turned and walked out the door.

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

Pan sat alone in her room that night. She watched out the window as people fought for their homes. She missed Trunks already. She was bonded to Trunks. And she finally knew, he was bonded to her too.


Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me lonely
If I told you
