*** 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...
