Chapter Six
A Date With Destiny
Bra flopped on Pan's bed, laying back onto a mound of pillows. "So you and Trunks are FINALLY going out, eh?"
"What do you mean finally?" Pan asked, throwing on the outfit that she decided to wear. "Ready!" she said happily.
"You have GOT to be kidding me. There is no way that you are going looking like that."
"What? I look fine. Besides, it is just Trunks, I mean, it isn't like he cares or anything," Pan said, suddenly self conscious. ~Why does Bra always have to make me second guess myself?~ she asked herself, staring into the dark eyes of her friend.
"Well, I guess you are right...it is "just Trunks" you two have known each other your whole lives...why should you go being uncomfortable around him now that you know that he likes you? Why would you want to dress up for someone to make them feel special." Bra looked at her compainion, hoping she took the hint.
"Exactly. Anyway, I am going to be late...oh Bra, I almost don't want to go...you know this is going to change everything, don't you?" Pan looked at the floor, now completely aware of how much one simple date would change the relationships that had been to constant her whole life.
"Oh come on...this is just one little date that everyone knew would happen eventually. I just can't believe it took you two that long to find each other. But I guess I understand how you feel...you have been waiting for this moment for so long...and now it is going to happen. Everything after that is just so unpredicatable."
"Yes. Do you think it is better that way? Nothing in my life is going to be stable forever. If I go...this will change everything that I have ever known. But if I don't...I know that I could never be happy without seeing where the relationship might leave. Great Dende, this is cheesy."
"Yeah, but a lot of things are, we just never like to admit it. You need to go, you are really running behind on schedule." Bra said, glancing at the clock on Pan's nightstand.
"Yeah...I guess I do." Pan twirled her hair between her fingers and stared at her shoes. ~Since when am I nervous about a stupid date!?~
It was time for Pan to face her destiny. ~It must be destiny...how else would everyone predict that it was going to happen? Or did he just love me all this time? Either way...time to face the music.~
*********
Pan found herself outside the resturant in what seemed like only a matter of minutes. ~Breathe...breathe...just Trunks~ she thought as she looked through the window of the small but pleasant resturant.
"Just act completely natural...like you don't even love him anymore..." she stopped. "I don't think that could ever happen..."
Pan pushed the door open and absorbed the atmosphere of the place. It seemed very cozy. There were lots of comfortable looking couches, not perfectly aligned, but not in disarray. There was a mixed smell of coffee and bread and the light scent of people who were mingling quietly.
~How lovely~ she thought to herself. She spotted Trunks suddenly and immediately a self conscious filled her. She checked her appearance in a small mirror that was on a table. ~Natural...~
"Pan! Over here!" Trunks called out.
The quickness of his motion startled Pan, as if she were a deer, and she suddenly got unbelieveably nervous. She began to back away to the door, and before she even realized it she was in a full fledged sprint with Trunks close to her heels.
*********
She stopped when she reached the woods near her house, happy that she lost Trunks somewhere on the way. She knew he would be here soon, so she had to think quickly.
~Why? Why am I doing this? Everytime...EVERYTIME we get close I run...I keep saying no...I keep running...why am i doing this to myself? Why am I doing this to him?!~
Pan sat by her tree, abruptly aware of herself. ~I have loved him for so long. All my life it seems and he has never felt the same way about me...now that he does...what is going to happen? Am I ready for this? I am just so used to having the security of being in love without being loved back. It is almost like...we were never meant to be.~
"We were never meant to be..." Pan repeated outloud, seeing how it felt once she had said it. This realization was completely altering her existance...but then again...so would being with Trunks.
"You really feel that way?" Trunks asked, coming from the edge of the woods next to her.
"I-I don't know...I think so at least. It is just that, us together, it is so unimaginable...I mean, I have loved you for so long. But why, why on earth would I be running if we were meant to be together. It is like-"
"Oh, Pannie...quit talking. I think I understand where you are coming from...I am not even sure of my feelings for you...maybe if we just give it some time..."
"Some time..." Pan whispered.
"To see if our love was meant to be...until then, I will always be waiting."

Whoa. I SWEAR I didn't mean to end it like that. I SWEAR. It just kinda flowed from my fingers, haha...I really like T/P, so I really really don't get why I did that, but I guess it kind of fits with the title...some reviews would definately work for me now that I am offically finished. Right now I am working on a Romance/Horror that is a T/P...hopefully this time they will end up together....but they might just die, that sounds fun. j/k REVIEW!
