~*~*~*~*= flashback
After the unlimited amount of wedding pictures in various parks and obnoxius place gardens, Pan was ready to turn in for the rest of the night. She was sick of all this smiling. She was sick of being awake. But, oh, the works of a maid of honor are never done.
While playing with the food on her cream colored plate, her mind started to wander to subjects it had avioded since she had to coach Bra down the isle.
'Damn,' her mind scolded her, 'You should have known your Uncle would pick Trunks as his best man. If that wasn't obvious enough, one would think you could have been able to figure it out because of him not showing up at the rehersal, fool.' She glanced down the table to see her "mate" and Uncle socializing. 'Moron!' her mind screamed as her brain acted on impulse.
"Pan! Are you okay?" Bra asked while patting the back of her friend who, at the moment, was banging her head on the table.
"Just fine," Pan replied, continueing.
"Say," Trunks said as he approched the Saiya-jin hammer, "how ya been?"
"You mean AFTER I made an ass out of myself?" Pan asked, angry.
Trunks looked at her sympathetically, "Come on Pan, it wasn't that bad."
Out of all the boys
You're not like the others
"To you," Pan muttered under her breath. Trunks, her mate, funny how that sounded. It wasn't the laughing funny. It was more of the, this is how it should be funny, no matter how much Pan told herself it wasn't. Pan lifted her head, "What did you come over here for anyways Trunks?"
"Huh?" He asked looking back down at her, "I was uhhh..." he blushed, rebecoming his normal, shy-around-women self. "Gonna ask if you'd maybe want to uhh... dance?"
Pan smiled, "Sure," she stood, and straightened out her dress, "You know you don't have to be shy around me Trunks. I'm supposed to be your mate, remember?"
Trunks blushed more.
"Uhh.. yeah," he said sheepishly.
From the very first day
I knew we'd be lovers
Trunks took Pan's hand, and led her softly out to the dance floor. She wrapped her hands around his neck, and he let his hands snake around her waist.
They could faintly hear the annoncer saying something about this being a song for the family couples. But the voice got quieter and quieter... Appearntly, he also said the title of the song, but neither of them heard it. They didn't care. They had their moment of bliss and they intended to enjoy it with every once of their being. All they could see or heard was each other.
This was how it should be.
In my wildest dreams
My darkest desire
Pan's hands slid down from around Trunks' neck to his waist. She felt her head rest on his shoulder, though she couldn't be sure, for she had lost all control over her body minutes ago.
And she really didn't want it back.
Because if her control came back, her mind would tell her that this was a mistake. It would tell her to let go and leave, because she would never recover from this much hurt. Never recover from this much pain. Never recover without Trunks with her forever.
That's what she wanted.
Would I declare to you
Your love takes me higher
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm so proud of you Bra!" Bulma cried, hugging her youngest child. A wedding day for either child was a dream come true. And boy did ChiChi and her ever have fun. "Now if only I could get your brother to settle down..."
Pan coughed calmly into her hand, "Ms. Bulma, it's almost time for you, and Grandma, and Grandpa to go down. I hope you enjoy the wedding."
"Okay," Bulma said hugging her daughter a final time, then turning and hugging Pan, "I'm glad you could be here for my little girl Pan."
Pan smiled softly, "My pleasure ma'am."
Bulma walked up to Goku and ChiChi, taking Goku's arm opposite of ChiChi, and starting down the isle.
Pan turned to Bra, "It's my turn," she hugged her friend, "I hope you and my uncle have a happy life together."
"We will Pan, and you know it," Bra whispered back, "And I know you will too someday. Trust me."
Pan wanted to frown, but didn't for fear of never being able to smile again throughout the ceremony.
Just when we both thought
Our lives were set in stone
The doors opened for Pan to enter. She walked softly, smiling from side to side of the church, as if greeting everyone and thanking them for coming. She continued to walk as slowly as she could, smiling happily... until...
Pan stopped dead in her tracks. There in the middle of the isle. Trunks was the Best Man? She wanted to scream. Just after she finished picking up the pieces. Jus when she thought she may be able to go on with day to day life and never have to worry about being alone forever. THIS had to happen! She started to talk to herself, quiet at first, then louder and louder...
"How could I be so damn stupid? Of course Unlce Goten would ask Trunks to be here!" she fell to her knees, "Dende, you hold something against me don't you? Does this have something to do with my father? Did he not visit you enough or something? Daddy, go visit Dende more!" It suddenly occored to her that she wasn't in her apartment anymore. She stood up and stared at Trunks. Those damn lights shone on his lavender hair and those blue eyes to make them even more beautiful than before. He held a smile of surprise, and it made Pan angry. She started to walk quickly down the isle, "I should go. Oh, wouldn't that be funny? 'Run away Bride's Maid!'"
They shone a light
And brought us together
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks' eyes opened, when he heard strange noises coming from Pan. He pushed her away slightly, and held up her chin in his firm hand. There, he saw the clear tears falling from Pan's eyes. "Pan-chan," Trunks said looking firmly at her, "what's wrong?"
"Everything," Pan said as she fought for him to let her head drop down. "Trunks I can't do this. I can't do this and recover from it. Trunks, I can't. I've fought all my life to equal to you. Equal to my unlce. Equal to everyone who's stronger than me. But I'm not as strong as you are Trunks. My heart isn't as tough as yours. I can't take fatal blow after fatal blow come back in once piece. I'm little Pan-chan. The same 14 year old girl who wanted to be something more than just a weak female child. I wanted to be everyone else! I wanted to be a saiya-jin fight like my father, and like my grandfather! I wanted to be Bra, because she didn't have to try! Naturally she was someone to you people. But I was annoying little Pan-chan..." Pan's voice trailed off, "and I still am. I'm still annoying little no one Pan-chan..." she spun quickly on her heel and ran as fast as she could.
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop we'll still have each other
And no matter what
We'll be forever as one
"Pan!" Trunks called as he ran after her, "Pan come back here!"
Pan ran out of the reseption room, down the hall, and out the front door until she was caught on the deck before the pick-up area, "Go away Trunks..." she sobbed as she tried her best to fight her way out of the two muscular arms that held her in.
"Listen to me Pan," Trunks said as he held tighter, "you don't give yourself credit for as wonderful as you are. You dont... you don't look in the mirror every morning and see what I see Pan. You see a girl who never really fulfilled her dreams. You see someone who will be miserable until they die. You see someone who is all in your mind. I don't see a no one Pan. I don't see an annoying little girl. I see a beautiful, smart, wonderful woman. You did things in your life even I didn't have the courage to do. When I was younger I would have done anything I could to be noticed by my father. But I was masked by an image of myself from a different timeline. I wasn't him. I wasn't anything like him, and that dissappointed so many people Pan. But you... you at the same age. You were doing things that made you stand out as the individual person you are, and made us all see you."
It's a crazy world
Where everything's changing
"You showed at us that even though no female had ever gone Super Saiya-jin," Trunks continued, "you had the will power to kick everyone of our asses, and made it a goal of yours to just that. You went out and followed your dreams. You proved to us that you are Son Pan, not the daughter of Videl and Gohan, not the granddaughter of Mr. Satan. You are Son Pan, an individual person, and no one, but no one, has the right to change that but you."
Pan sniffled as she calmed down, "I'm not all that," she said softly, "my grandfather found it more important to train some reincarnation of an evil villian who died before I was born. Do you know what it's like to have your hero care that little about you?!"
"Yes I do," Trunks said, "my father couldn't care less. But you know," he said letting her go, "I don't think my new hero should think so lowly of herself."
One minute you're up
And the next thing you're breaking
Pan laughed softly as all her raven hair fell out of it's twist and around her face, "I'm your hero?"
"Of course you are Pan-san," Trunks said smiling, "you are the greatest person in the world."
"San?" Pan asked, noticing the difference in the suffix on her name, "You really do think of me highly?"
When I lose my way
And the skies they get heavy
Trunks nodded.
"Mr. President of Capsule Corporation, thinks of me as his hero?"
"Is there a point coming soon?" Trunks asked, little nervous.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Pan said as she smiled calmly, "but I've never had anyone make me their hero before. What next Trunks, you want to marry me too?"
"Uhhh,..." Trunks blushed, "I dunno, haven't really thought much about that," he lied to her.
It'll be okay
The moment you're with me
******************************************
Goten pulled his sleepy brother-in-law out of the hallway and into his and Bra's room. Trunks looked around his surroundings a moment, them realized where he was, "Oh no man, I know I told you I'd help you every step of your wedding. But if you can't figure this one on your own I think you made a mistake!"
"Not that man!" Goten said shaking his best friend by the shoulders, "Did you ask Pan yet?"
"Huh?" Trunks blinked, "Ummm, no."
"Idiot."
"But you guys love me anyway."
"Soo," Goten said, "when do you plan on asking?"
"At our meeting in two weeks!"
"Good."
We are two in a million
We got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop we'll still have each other
And no matter what
We'll be forever was one
****************************************
What's Trunks gonna ask Pan? (come on, you can't be that dense.) Find out next time!
