*** 5 years later ***

"Pan! Hey there, sweety!" Bra came running through the hall woth a large smile platered across her face, "Guess what just happened?!"

"What?" I was completley confused.

"Tim just asked me to the prom!" She squeled and threw here arms around my neck. "I am so incredibly excited!"

"Thats wonderful, Bra!" I smiled half-heartedly.

Prom was only 3 weeks away and I still had no date. A few guys had invited me but no one that my dad would have let me go out with. The other boys were afraid of me; they always had been as long as I could remember. They were afraid of me, my skill at martial arts and my strength. When Grandpa Goku had died, I swear then and there to never forget who I was or my saiyan heritage. In fact, I trained harder than ever, especially in the last several years. Now, more than ever, boys avoided me so my hopes at finding a date were silm. I guess I was trying not to think about it but with Bra standing here with her bright smile, it was hard to forget about.

"Pan? Are you doing okay, sweety?" She looked really concerned, just like a big sister.

"Yeah." I sighed.

"You still don't have a date?" Bra looked confused when I shook my head no. "Pan, you are one of the most beautiful girls in school. You have great long hair, big eyes and a great personality. I don't get it."

I felt the heat in my cheeks at the compliment and I know she was trying to help but I just shrugged in responce.

"I KNOW PAN!!!! You should take Trunks. He is single again and I know how close you guys have always been."

"You really want your brother at the prom?" I eyed her skeptically.

"As long as it would amke you smile." Then she muttered under her breath. "And you keep him out of my hair."

"OH BRA! Don't kid me or yourself, Trunks would never go to a high school prom, especially with me. I am 17 and he is 28. He'd laugh at me."

Bra just stared at me speechless for a moment and I could not blame her. I had just told her off. Finally after several moments, she made and annoyed face and then smirked and looked remarkable like Vegeta. "I'll tell Trunks you'll be over tonight to talk to him!" Then without warning, she ran off and I lost sight of her around the corner, leaving me speechless in her wake.

*** 6:00pm that night ***

I arrived at Capsule Corp and knocked on the door.

"Coming!" I heard Bulma yell before she opened the door. "Oh hi, Pan. Whats going on?"

"I.. ummm... actually I can to talk to Trunks."

"Okay sweety. Let me go get him for ya."

I stepped inside to an empty house and I guessed that Bra had forced Vegeta to take her to the mall to buy her prom dress.

When Trunks came into the room, I felt myself start to tremble. Trunks and I had always been close and I would do absolutley anything for him but as he walked in the room, there was no denying what an attractive man he had become and I was not sure I would be able to ask him.

"Hey Pan. Bra told me you'd be coming by. What can I do for ya?" He flashed me a dazzleing grin with unnerved me but I was insure why.

"Well... ummm... I... this..." I stopped and tried to calm myself down.

Trunks' expression suddenly became serious. "What is it Panny? You now you can tell me anything right?"

I forced a grin and dropped my gaze to the ground. "Prom is in 3 weeks and I have no date... I... ummm... I was wondering if you'd take me?"

For a split second, I looked up and his expression was blank, then he flashed me a big grin. "I'd love to Pan." He gave me a big smile and a hug.

"I do have to ask you one thing though. Why me? You are a beautiful girl. Aren't all the boys falling all over you?"

I could not help but laugh as butterflies I never knew I had began going crazy in my stomach when the word beautiful escaped his lips. "I wish! They either hide from me or act like I don't exsist. I am the freaky powerful girl. I think all the drooling and excitment over demi-saiyans are reserved for you."

Trunks and I both laughed a little when he hugged me tightly. "I'd be honored to take you, Panny. We'll be the life of the party." He pulled me away and flashed me a devilish smile before he reached into his pocket and tried to hand me a wad of money.

"Whats this for?" I refused to let him hand me the money.

"I am taking the most beautiful girl at Orange Star High School to the prom and you deserve any dress you want. Take this and get anything you want. Pan, you get the dress and I will take care of the rest okay?" He forced the money in my hand and smiled.

"Thanks alot, Trunks."

"Anything for you. You're my Pan, right?" He grinned.

"Right." I felt myself blush feriously.
