He stepped forward in his best black suit with a big smile on his face and turned to my father.

"Gohan, you're right. I think she looks great too!" He smiled to Dad with the usual smile that he'd always used as a child to get out of trouble. Then he caught my eye and winked before turning back to Dad.

Dad gave Trunks the completley unamused father look and he seemed to be thinking really hard about something. Thankfully Mom stepped forward and took Dad by the arm. She smiled at me and them did the same to Trunks.

"Have a good time tonight."

Dads expression didn't change too much but I could have swore I heard him mutter something along the lines of "Not too much fun."

I stepped over and hugged Mom who winked at me when Dad was not looking. Then I gave Dad a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek and I could tell that he relaxed a bit. Bulma came over to say goodbye, dragging Vegeta behind her.

Right as we were about to leave, Dad stopped Trunks and held his hand out to him with a smile. It seemed as though he had made peace with whatever thoughts had been swimming in his head. When Trunks took Dads hand, it felt as though a weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

"Have fun tonight."

"Thanks... We will." They exchanged more smiled and I could not help but feel more butterflies in my stomach again as I realized that Dad had just given us his blessing to be together. It was all a whirlwind fairytale come true.

"You ready to go?" Trunks turned to me with a grin.

"Yeah... lets go."

We said goodbye once more and practically ran out the door before we were stopped again. Once outside, I saw a long white limo that looked identical to the one that we had gone to prom in over 4 years ago. My jaw dropped and I suddenly heard Trunks burst into laughter behind me.

"Are you surprised Pan?" He helped me into the limo and once I was seated he sat down next to me with a grin.

"What?" I was confused but excited at the same time.

Trunks reached into his pocket and pulled out a red rose bud, handing it to me. "I do love you, Pan. I don't think you know how much but I hope to show you."

"Pulling out all the stops tonight, aren't you." My effort at humor failed as I wiped tears of joy from my eyes. "Thank you for taking me out tonight. You look wonderful."

"ME?! When I first saw you from the doorway tonight, I almost passed out right there. You look absolutley gorgeous."

I leaned up and kissed his lips softly. "Thanks."

We chatted idly the rest of the way to the resturant and when we got out, I realized that I'd never actually seen this particular resturant before. It was huge and beautiful.

"This place opened a few years ago by some of my old clients. They've been bugging me to come here for years but I, unfortunately, never had the right person to come with me... until now that is." He winked at me again and took my arm, leading me up the stairs.

We made it into the lobby where, once they realized who Trunks was, we were immediatly taken to their best private booth. We spoke about everything over dinner and dessert. It was completely relaxed and enjoyable. At college, I'd gone on plenty of dates before but no one had ever made me feel as safe, calm and secure as Trunks did. about 9 o'clock, Trunks grinned at me and stood up. "Would you like to take a walk with me before we head back?"

"I'd love it."

We left the resturant and went down the street until we reached the Satan City Park where we walked past an incredibly large statue of my grandfather which sent us both into a fit of laughter. We finally came across a bench where we sat down together and looked up at the stars.

"I want to do this every night Trunks. I feel so..." It took me a few minutes to grasp the right word. "free. I just feel so free."

Trunks smiled at me and I would have sworn on a stack of bibles that his eyes were misty. "Pan... do you really mean that?"

"Of course. I've been dreaming of this since I was 4."

We both chuckled a bit until Trunks stood up. He jumped up so suddenly that I was afraid that I'd done something wrong.

"Whats wr----"

I stopped as Trunks bent down on one knee and reached into his jacket pocket. I was speechless as he pulled out a dark blue velvet box and held it out to me with a smile.

With tears blurring my vison and my heart pounding ni my chest, I took the box and opened it. Inside was the most beautiful ring that I had ever seen. It was white gold with one large diamond in the middle and two small ones on either side. It was simple and elegent. It was perfect. I could feel tears streaming down my face as I looked up to met Trunks' misty eyes.

"Pan Son, will you marry me?"

I was speechless as I fought to find my voice. I wanted to say so many things but I'd suddenly lost my ability to speak. Finally I managed to choke out one word.

"Y-yes."

I was now completely crying as Trunks smiled widely and took the box from my hand. He placed the ring on the ring finger of my left hand before throwing his arms around my neck.

"I love you Trunks." I finally composed myself a bit and flashed Trunks a smile.

"I love you too, Panny. You're mine now." He winked.

"Thats just fine with me." He pulled me to my feet and kissed me. This time his kiss was much fuller of the hunger and desire that we both felt. Time slipped away as we stood there kissing and when we pulled apart, I felt reborn.

I was now engaged to the love of my life and I felt whole. In that last kiss it felt as though something had changed between us. We felt bonded somehow. It was a scary yet much more exhillarating feeling.

"Our parents are going to flip." I grinned devilishy, wiping away my last tears of joy from my face.

"They'll love it but our moms are going to cry."

We both started to laugh as we made our way back to the limo to tell our parents the good news.
