Pan looked at Trunks and thought of how much she loved him. He loved her. Just knowing of the mere fact made her heart do leaps. She was lost when she was with him. She no longer had thoughts or her mind. When he wasn't around she was always in search for him to be forever lost again. It had been painful watching him from afar for three grueling years. She thrist and thrived for that day she would get to be in his arms. She held his face in one hand. Even if she became blind she would always remember the contours of his face. She kissed him, a kiss of love that her heart burned and lived for him. A kiss that yelled her answer to his question.

*** 1 1/2 Months Later ***


"Woman! Open the damn door!!" Vegeta howeled from outside. She always hogged the bathroom. "OPEN!" Vegeta's voice raised. He sighed and smashed the 100th door down. "Finally!" Vegeta said, his face changed from triumph to plain worry when he saw Bulma on the floor next the toilet. "Bulma?" He rushed over and grabbed her and helped her up. She seemed weak and tired. She stood up and fell back down. Her legs gave out on her. She crawled as fast as she could back to t he toilet.

"LILIANA!" Vegeta roared. Liliana ran up the stairs and burst through the grand suite's doors. Vegeta carried Bulma out to their large bed. Her small body sunk in the feather stuffed matress. Liliana checked up on Bulma. She placed a blanket over Bulma weak body. Instead of Vegeta's worried scowl, Liliana smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" Vegeta irratated.

"Vegeta, you are going to be a daddy...again" Liliana proved a reason for her smile.

Pan snuck out of bed and downstairs to the kitchen to grab a sandwich. She heard a faint rap on the mansion's main door. "Who would be at this hour?" She went to the door. Her slippers sliding against the marble floor. She opened the door to see a handsome blonde man holding onto the doorframe, His hand gave in and he fell inside. Pan fell to the floor as she caught him. Trunks walked down the stairs.

"Pan...done with sandwich yet? I am getting kind of lonely up there" He chuckled.

"Trunks!" Pan looked back and saw him in his blue plaid pajama pants and usualy black muscle shirt. He took his hand and combed his hair back.

"What?" He said to the darkness. As his eyes cleard up he saw Pan struggling to keep a guy up. He ran over making a soft clicking noise with his slippers. He held the man to the a kitchen chair.

"Water...Please can I have a glass of water" Pan ran and got him what he wanted. Trunks looked at him gulp down the water in one breath intake. He asked for another glass and Pan did as she was asked.

"Mmmm" Liliana walked downt the Capsule corps stairs as she blindly rubbed her eyes. She yawned out lous as she streached. She looked up an noticed the light was on in the Kitchen. She figureed it would be one of the sayjins. They had a huge appetite. "Sayjins" She sighed as she walked towards the light. She got into the kitchen and saw Pan and trunks's head at the kitchen table.

"Do you guys have to be with each other 24/7?" She smiled. They both looked up revealing familliar blonde hair. "Valcone?" She gasped in dsibelief. She ran to him and grabed his hands. Pan and Trunks both stood back and watched and wondered who this person was.

"What are you doing here?" She held on to his hands.

"Baby…" He called intimately. Trunks and Pan both arched their eyebrows and looked at each other.

"I came to get you" He whispered, his lips were pale, his eyelids closed as he collapsed on the chair.

"Trunks, help me get Valcone to the pool" They carried him to the pool room.

Without a thought he dived in. As predicted Valcone's legs changed into fins, a royal blue that shimmered like Liliana's.

Liliana turned to Pan and Trunks to explain. "He is Valcone Tristian Triton the second…He's my older brother"

Both Trunks and Pan nodded. "He calls you baby?" Pan inquired.

"My whole family calls me that…I am the youngest" She explained. Pan and Trunks nodded again. After the water absorbed into his body, they took him up to one of the rooms and lowered the temperature. Liliana walked to the side of the bed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked her brother.

"Mom was worried about you. She got sick. She's not talking or anything. So I came to get you." He said.

"Mom is sick??" Liliana's voice dropped down to worry.

"Its not bad, she is just not talking, its not life threatning" He barely whispered.

"Okay that's good. Hows Cruzak?" She asked her voice went a bit cheerier. Her brother didn't answer. "How is he?" She asked again.

"Baby…he's…" Her brother started to speak. Liliana's eyebrows creased in worry and confusion. Pan and Trunks stood near the door watching. "Baby…he's married"

Pan and Trunks looked as Liliana froze. "He's what?" She asked not hiding her shocked tone. "To who?" She tried remained in control.

"To Hailiana, a courtier, daughter of Duke Siminist" He said as he looked at her expression.

"Hailiana?" Liliana stood up. "Why did he…" She walked back and hit the door. She opened the door and ran off.

"Go get her Trunks…we don't want her getting into any trouble." Pan said as Trunks went after her. After Trunks left Pan walked over to the bed. "Whose Cruzak?" Pan asked the MerPrince.

"He was Liliana's bethrothed and 1st love," He simply said. Pan nodded and whispered a mere "Oh"

"LILI!" Trunks called out. He noticed her on the ground by the lake. He walked over and sat down beside her.

"What are you doing here?" She whispered, her expression covered by her long hair.

Trunks pulled his legs up to his chest and brushed his long hair back. "I don't know, why are you here?" He smiled at her.

"He's married" He whispered her voice scratchy. "He was my fiancee, and I loved him and he went off with Hailiana"

"I see" Trunks whispered.

"She is prettier than me that's why!" She spat bitterly.

"I really doubt that you know," He honestly said "I mean, look at you, you are also beautiful on the inside, always helping people. I mean there are probably so many mermen who like you and yet you pay no attention"

"Liar" She looked up at him.

"No, I am not lying, I mean its me Trunks, I don't lie to you Lili" He said seriously.

She smiled thru her tears. She looked up at him and started to laugh. "You look so funny when you are serious"

"Hey!" He said as he gave her a pat on the back. "You know what? You are probably the prettist person I know…you know next to me" He laughed. His jokes were back. "You are only 18, you will find another person who can make you way more happy"

She hugged him. "Thank you, you know, for listening. But it still hurts," Her eyes welled up in tears. "It's odd though. He loved me so much. I don't know why he would just go off with Hailiana…and yeah I am prettier" She giggled at her own vein comment.

"See? Theres the confidence. You are learning," He said.

"Yeah, I am learning how to be conceited like you" She laughed and she stood up. He propped an arm around her shoulder and they started to walk back to the house. Pan looked at them come in and she smiled. Trunks always had his charm to attack bad moods.

Liliana went back up to her brother's room, leaving Trunks in the hallway. Pan walked down the stairs. "Hey Lili" she said to the young girl as she walked to Trunks, still in her PJs.

He put an arm around her waist as they walked back upstairs to their room. "Made her feel better?" She smiled.

"I try" he opened the door to their bedroom. "She'll get over him"

"Its not that easy you know. Getting over someone you love so much." She pointed out.

"Hey! Do not contradict my advice to her!" he protested as he jumped onto the bed.

"Well, would you get over me, If I married someone else??" She asked as she slid under the covers.

"That's different," He said as he moved over to make room.

"Is it now?" She asked.

"Well, I mean its you…I don't think anyone can get over you" He replied simply. She looked at him and smiled and then a frown.

"What are you sad about? My comment is true though!" he remarked.

She sighed outloud "No, Its not that…I still didn't get that sandwhich"
