*** 4 1/2 years later ***

I ripped off my graduation gown and pulled on my newest blue jeans and a pale pink polo shirt. I had just grduated from Tokyo University and I could not wait to get home. I hugged all my friends goodbye before running to a deserted part of campus. From there I took off flying towards home as fast as possible. I landed at home and found a note taped to the door.

Pan,

Went to Capsule Corp. Meet us there.

Love

Mom and Dad

It'd been 2 years since I had been home last so the fact that they were not there to meet me took me back a bit. Then after a few minutes of flying, realization hit me. Bulma was going to throw one of her famous parties.

I landed about a block from Capsule Corp and walked the rest of the way to the front door. When I knocked, there was no answer. After a moment, I knocked again a bit harder and I heard Bulmas' voice.

"Coming! Just a minute." She opened the door and looked at me confused for a minute. "Can I help you?"

It was clear that she did not recognize me but I couldn't say that I was surprised. I'd really grown up and filled out in the last two years. That along with the fact that I now wore makeup, it really seemed to throw people.

"Bulma. Its me." I smiled.

"Oh my God. Pan! I didn't even recognize you! I'm so sorry. You look so grown up!" She drug me into the house and to the family room area in the back of the building. She flipped on the lights and before I knew it, all of my friends and family were jumped out at me.

"SURPRISE! CONGRADULATIONS!"

I was surrounded but hugs, kisses and conversation for the better part of 4 hours. Everyone wanted to know how college had been. What I wanted to do now. If I had a boyfriend and a million other questions. After all the questions, I finally needed peace and quiet.

I snuck out onto the balcony and put my hands on the railing looking out at the moonless night. I felt myself sigh as I remembered the question that Krillin had asked me only a few minutes earlier. He had asked why I had come back home and it had bothered me when I realized what the answer really was. The obvious reasons would have been my parents, Bra or even Capsule Corp for that matter (since my college major was international business) but as I opened my mouth to answer him, the first thought in my head had been Trunks. It was a crazy and childish dream that I thought I had forgotten years ago but when I steeped up to the door tonight, it all came back to me ten-fold.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and it jilted me out of my thoughts and sent my body rigid before I could turn around. I looked up to see two of the worlds most beautiful blue eyes looking down on me, causing my heart to skip a beat.

"I didn't get a chance to talk to you earlier." His voice warmed me straight to the core.

"Sorry. It was pretty nuts in there I guess." I fidgited nervously with my hair.

"I missed you the last few years. I'm not surprised Mom didn't recognize you though. You've really grown up." Now he was fidgiting with my hair too, curling it between his fingers.

"I misses you too Trunks. Married yet?" I tossed that in to lighten the mood but he just frowned and shook his head at me.

"What made you come back Pan? I really need to know." He glanced into my eyes so intensely, that I couldn't look away.

"I... umm..." I suddenly realized that I was not going to be able to lie to him. "Its stupid really..."

He placed his fingers to my lips to hush me and smiles. "Please tell me, Panny."

"Icamebackbecauseofyou." I blurted out the words and spun around so I was looking over the balcony once more.

Trunks didn't say a thing at first but he put his hands on my shoulders and began massaging them lightly. When he spoke, it seemed more like he was talk to himself then to me but the words went straight to my heart.

"Life really is unfair, Pan. I have thought of you ever day since that prom. Every other woman I date can never seen to live up to you, You've taken over my thoughts and I feel helpless to stop it. What am I gonna do with you now?" He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist and laid his head on my shoulder so we were both looking out at the sky.

I shurgged. His warm breath on my ear had destroyed any chance I may have had to respond coherentley. In the last few years, my love had only grown for him. Now knowing that he felt the same way was like obtaining an intangiable dream and I found myself speechless.

After several minutes, I swallowed all of my remaining doubts and turned until we were face to face and inches apart. "You could start by kising me."

That was all the motivation he needed. He pulled me into his arms and my heart began to pound wildly. His lips met with mine in a tender way. We just stayed that way for a long while while his hands carressed my back. When he finally released me, we both let out mutual sighs and leaned our foreheads to one another.

"I still love you, Pan. I never stopped."

"I love you too, Trunks. I always will but before I get carried away, I have to know. Am I still too young?"

Trunks looked hurt for a moment but recovered nicely by flashing me a big smile. "I think we can work something out. What do ya say about having dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"Its a date!" I smiled and kissed him playfully on the nose. "What do you think our parents will say?"

"Why don't you ask us." Moms voice came out of nowhere and we jumped apart without even thinking. I looked over to see Bra, Mom, Bulma and Grandma all teary-eyed. Then I looked over and saw Dad, Vegeta, Uncle Goten and Krillin still smiling but looking a little more apprehensive then the ladies.

I caught Trunks gaze out of the corner of my eye and he winked at me. Without any goodbye or warning, we both took off toward the sky to find a quieter place to talk...
