Pan's hand lay on the bed. She seemed to have lost her soul. A strain of fear suddenly struck Trunks. He let go of the hug that seemed to be only one way. Pan fell into his arms. Her eyes now closed. He took a hand and wiped the blood from her lips. "Pan?" He whispered nervously. "Pan…talk to me" His shaking hand reached for her face. "LILIANA!!!!!! MOM!!!!!" No one came. "HARRIS!!!!!!" The butler ran back into the room. "CALL THEM!!!!!!" He yelled. Harris didn't have to leave. Bulma and Liliana ran through the doors once they heard Trunks' roar. "She woke up and now she-she…"Trunks started still holding onto Pan. Bulma stared at the monitor. The beeping was turned off. All that was left was a straight line. There was no heartbeat. "Patient gone…Patient gone…" it flashed back and forth. Angry Bulma struck the monitor and it made a hissing noise then went quiet. Liliana, not believing the monitor, ran over to Pan. She checked the pulses. She started to check everything of Pan. Tears welled in her eyes. "She's gone"

They all left the room. Trunks sat with his love in his arms. "She's gone…She's gone…" Liliana's voice rang through his mind. "No...No" Trunks whispered in disbelief. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" He yelled at her. He ordered her to wake up. She didn't respond. "YOU CANNOT LEAVE LIKE THIS! YOU CAN'T JUST TELL ME YOU LOVE ME THEN LEAVE!!!!! IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!" He screamed his heart out. Tears welled up in his eyes. He never cried. He held her body close to his. He didn't know what to think. He hid his face in hair. He sobbed for her to come back. His world seemed to collapse on him.

Bulma held her hand to her mouth. Tears ran down her face. She stood outside of the Bio room. She had never seen Trunks in so much pain. She stifled a sob. The pain occurred all over again. Trunks lost Pan just like she lost Vegeta. Her heart started to ache. How she missed him. She was lonely…she and lost her mate. Now Trunks had to lose his. Vegeta died when Trunks was very young, when Bulma was young. Yet she never loved another. She never found his body along with Goku and Gohan's. Most of the other bodies were badly destroyed by the androids. She made graves for all and paid all of them a great deal of respect. It was lonely in her bed at night. She never wanted that feeling to happen to her Son, but she couldn't prevent it.

They placed Pan into a frozen cave. The walls were filled with ice. Trunks carried her body and put her on the glass bed. He stroked her hair and said his last good-byes as they shut the cave door. Bulma held on to her son's shoulder as a form of comfort. Liliana looked up with swollen eyes. Pan was so good to her and Ninoa. They all walked away and left Trunks in deep solitude. Trunks stood looking at the cave. His heart started to hurt. He was in pain and no antibiotics could have stopped it. "This is not goodbye" He said his voice cracked "…it's just a parting for the time being" He broke. He fell to the ground. "Why did you leave me here? Why?" He asked the emptiness. His heart broke in pieces and he didn't know how to put it back together.

The rock creaked opened a dark figure stepped inside. After awhile he stepped out and closed the rock behind him.

*** 3 years later ***

Trunks every 3 weeks he came to her grave and checked on her. He didn't go inside. He didn't know how to bear seeing her [AN: Her body doesn't deteriorate]. He cleaned the surroundings and spent time talking to her while he fixed up the place. After three years her face is still clear in his mind. His love never died and heart never mended.

Liliana gave Trunks his jacket "Here you go Trunks" She said.

"Lili you know you really don't have to work around the house" Trunks said as he took the freshly cleaned jacket.

"You and your mother have been so good to me, I have nothing to return but help out. " She smiled her blue eyes gleamed. He smiled back and sighed. He opened the door. "Oh Trunks," He looked back at her "Please say hi to her for me" She said

"I will" He replied.

He flew to the past the forest and past Diamond falls and finally reached Iceglaze. He landed on the ground. It was time. He was going to see her. He stood staring at the doorway. It's been so long yet he remembered like it was yesterday. He took in a deep breath and pushed the rock open. A gust of cold wind blew out. He buttoned his jacket and walked inside.

Bulma walked out to the balcony of her room and sighed. She looked to the sky. The sun was peaking out through the clouds. She winced as she looked up. Suddenly she felt eyes on her. She spun around but saw no one there. She looked around but no one was in sight. She had an eerie feeling and went inside.

He walked into the cave and past some of the ice boulders to the glass bed. He looked and saw nothing. Shocked and angry he looked everywhere...Pan was no where insight. Who would move her? The boulder was heavy no one of human blood can open it. Something caught his eye. He went to the glass bed and picked up a feather. He ran back outside and flew back home.

"Kassan" He called for his mother.

"Trunks what is it??" Bulma looked worried. He never came back so fast from seeing Pan.

"She's gone..." He said as he gave her the feather.
