A Date and A Dilemma
Pan opened the door.
"Pan!! You look lovely!" John exclaimed. Forcing a smile, she thanked him. She took his offered arm and they walked down towards his car.
"Where are we going, John?" she asked once they had settled themselves in the car.
"Ritz," came the immediate reply. "It's the new restaurant they opened at the Town Hall. I've heard it's a good one."
John talked the most during the ride. Pan sat in silence, smiling occasionally giving an indication that she was listening to him. But in reality, her mind was wandering towards her encounter with Trunks in the morning. Now that she had calmed down, she began to wonder why he had kissed her again. Did it mean he liked her? For a brief second, she hoped that the answer would be yes. She would have agreed with him. A small smile fluttered on her lips as she remembered the kiss and how it felt. She jumped up, startled, when someone shook her arm. "Pan? Hey Pan! We've reached, love." It was John. There was a concerned look in his eyes. She gave him a small smile and apologized. Once inside the restaurant, john took her hand in hers,
"Pan are you okay?" he queried gently.
"What? Oh… yes, I'm fine. Why?"
"You seem preoccupied. Any problems?"
"I'm fine, John," she assured him. After that, Pan forced herself to direct all her thoughts towards John. They ended up having a good time.
Late that night, he dropped her at her house. "Good night, Pan," he whispered gently. "I want you to think carefully about what I said. Okay?" She nodded. She jumped back suddenly when he bent his head towards her.
"What's the matter? I just wanted to kiss you good night, Pan!" He cupped her chin and bought his lips to meet hers. But just before they met, Pan tilted her head and he ended up kissing her cheek. He seemed surprised and confused but didn't say anything. She waited till he went and then let the tears flow.

"And what do you want, Pan?" Bra asked gently.
Pan had called up Bra the moment she had changed into her pajamas. Bra was about to scold her for disturbing her beauty sleep; but stopped once she realized that Pan was crying.
" I don't know Bra," she spoke in a quieter tone. "I had decided that we would announce our engagement once he got back. I had thought about it a lot when he was away. But that dratted brother of yours has left me confused totally. I just don't know what to do," Pan finished.
Bra sat up in her bed. Pan had told her everything over the phone.
"Pan," Bra said. "Do you love him?"
"Nani?"
"I asked if you are still in love with my brother," she asked, her tone somewhat firm.
"I don't think I stopped loving him, Bra," came the genuine reply.
