Hi everyone, I got married on 9-22-01 so I am now back and stress-free so I have time to write again! Yeah! I am going to return to my old stories soon too but I wanted to get this new idea out to see what people think. Please review and let me know what you'd like to see in this fic.

Thanks, Faye_Valentine00

P.S. - Kyle Hebert is totally wonderful man!!!!! (VA for Teen Gohan and a bunch of other chars!)

"Pan! Pan! Where the heck is that girl?!" Videl glared at Gohan who was trying to surpress his smile.

"Videl... she is 12 years old, give her a break. She'll be back." Gohan wrapped his arms around his wife and hugged her gently. "Lets just enjoy the silence."

"Okay." They closed the door to Pans room and made their way to their own.

*Meanwhile*

"Ugh! I hate homework!" I flew out my window and made my way towards Bras house. As I flew up, I saw Vegeta outside with Bra so I quickly took off, hoping Vegeta wouldn't notice me. Instead of going back home, I decided to go see what Trunks was doing at work.

I flew to his office window as quickly as possible. I peaked in just in time to see his secretary leaving. I watched him turn to his paperwork and grab a file before freezing in his tracks and turning very slowly with a half-smirk on his face. When he saw me, his face spread into a big smile as he stood up and headed over to open the window.

As he pulled the window open, I could not help but remember what we had gone through together with Grandpa Goku only a year ago. I know I was still a child compared to Trunks, who was President of Capsule Corp (the worlds largest company) but we'd bonded a lot durning that time in space and immedately after. We remained very close.

"Hey Pan. How are ya?" Trunks winked at me as I landed near the window.

"Good. Bored. Am I bugging you?" I stood by the window juts in case he was too busy to chat.

"No way! I'm bored too!" Trunks suddenly got a very mischeivious look on his face and flashed me a quick grin. "Wait one second okay?"

"Umm... sure." I smiled uneasily, waiting for Trunks, having no clue what he was up too.

He made his way to the desk, wrote a quick note and grabbed his jacket. "Are you ready?"

"For what?"

"Lets go to the Amuesment Park." he smiled and picked me up. "Lets go before my dad finds us okay?"

I just laughed and we were out the window without another word. We spent the whole evening at the Amusment Park playing arcade game, and riding all of the fastet rides. It was all Trunks' treat to me and it was one of the best days of my life.

"Think we should be going Pan?" He tried to surpess his grin as I yawned. The day had really warn me out but I did not want to let him know how much so yet.

"If you want to, I am fine." I tried to act tough and grown up but I was honestly ready to fall asleep standing up.

Trunks bent down and turned his back to me. "Climb on."

"What?" I tried to sound offened but it came out of my mouth rather weak.

"Climb on my back. I'll fly you home."

"But..." I started.

"No buts Pan. Get on!" Suddenly he was acting like an adult but he was smiling too. I couldn't argue, I was far too tired. I climbed onto his back and held on.

The next thing I knew, we were at the door to my house and I had slept though the whole flight home. Dad opened the door for Trunks before he even knocked. I vaguely heard Dad talk to Trunks before he stepped aside and let Trunks carry me to my room. He laid me down and tucked me in before stepping out into the hall where I heard him and Dad talking.

"Thanks for giving her a good time today, Trunks."

"No problem Gohan. My pleasure, we had a good time."

"She really hasn't been herself since Dad died. She really enjoys hanging out with you."

"Its my pleasure, really. I think I understand a lot about how Pan feels."

"Well... I am glad she has you as a friend."

"Not a problem Gohan."

Then I difted off to sleep...
