"Pan." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him with a mischievious gleem in his eyes. "Even tough the idea of staying here sounds very entertaining, I can't. I'm old, almost 30 and you're 18. I couldn't live with myself if we did something that you'll regret later."

"But Trunks-" Trunks cut Pan off again as she tried to speak.

"You may not regret it today or tomorrow but someday you would. We've been friends for so long Pan. I don't want to do anything to make you hate me somewhere down the line."

Pan gave Trunks a pouty-face but she knew that she had lost. One part of her was sad because it felt so right to be with Trunks and she really did want him to stay the night. She couldn't think of anyone else she'd rather be there with. The other part of her was excited because Trunks had not only saved her social life tonight but something in him had changed about the way he looked at her. He was finally seeing her as a woman and that was at least a good place to start.

Trunks felt like he was ripping his heart out of his own chest when he said goodbye and listened to Pan lock the door behind him. Something just felt so right about being there with her tonight and he knew it wasn't just lust. He encountered that every day but this was different.

As he flew back to Capsule Corp and laid down in his bed, he knew that someday this night would play a very important page in his life.

**** 4 Years Later ****

Yesturday Pan had graduated from Satan City University with her BA Degree in Communications so tonight Bulma was throwing a party for all of the Son and Briefs families. Everyone was excited, especially Bra and Trunks who were given the day off of work to get ready.

Over the last four years, Trunks and Pan had gotten closer than ever. Trunks had even tutored Pan through some of her more difficult classes during college. They'd both seen each other through various relationships and been the moral support for each other when things had not worked out. Pan still considered Bra her best friend but ever since she and Uncle Goten had started dating seriously over a year ago, Trunks and herself had kind of been brushed aside. Thankfully they had each other.

"Pan. Are you ready?" Videl called upstairs.

"Be right down!" Pan did one last primp in the mirror and smiled.

She was wearing a short summer dress that had a red floral print on it. Her sandles strapped around her ankles and were platform style with made her long muscular legs look even more so. Her black hair was brushed striaght so it fell freely down her back and her makeup was just slightly heavier than usual. The eyeliner that she used made her already large eyes look incredible. Although her shoulders and legs were bare, she knew she wouldn't be cold outside in the warm June air so she didn't grabbing a jacket as she barrelled down the stairs and into the living room where her parents were waiting.

"You look nice Pan." Gohan grinned at his daughter.

"Who are you trying to impress?" The wicked gleem in her parents eyes made her blush.

"Lets just go." She turned to the door to leave but knew that her face was bright red.

When they got to the party everyone was already there, lounging around comfortably. Bulma greeted Gohans family with hugs and kissed before dragging Videl off to the kitchen with her.

"Hey Pan!" The blue-haired demi-saiyan ran over happily and threw her arms around Pans neck.

"Hi Bra. Wheres Uncle Goten?" Bra flashed Pan a dirty look but it quickly turned into a smile because every knew that anywhere Bra went, he was never far behind.

"Right here!" Pan looked over and saw her uncle grinning ear to ear. "Congradulations on your graduation."

After chatting with them for a few minutes, Pan made her way to the living the room to find Trunks. To her surprise, he wasn't there so then she decided to search the rest of the house but the only person she found was Vegeta who was absolutly no help to her. Finally Pan made her way back to the living room and sat down on the couch to sulk.

After talking to Trunks on the phone this morning, he had sworn that he'd be there but he wasn't and it really hurt her feeling. Since they hadn't kissed since her prom night or even discussed what had happened, Pan hadn't really expected him to fall at her feet tonight but if he really was that good of a friend, she felt he should have at least shown up.

The next few hours passed incredibly slowly for Pan. They had dinner and engaged in idle chatter yet the whole time, Pan could think of nothing else but Trunks. She felt let down and even if he had just popped in to say hi and left again, it would be better than this. That would at least showed that he cared.

Finally at about 9pm, Pan made her way to the balcony and leaned up againist the railing. She watched the lights around Satan City and was unable to stope the questions and thoughts that were running through her head. Where are you Trunks? Why couldn't you just come and say hi? Just hello would have meant the world to me.

Trunks had spent the entire night thinking about what he should do. The last four years he'd gotten so close to Pan that it was almost scary and the fact that now she was completely grown and out of college had really scared him. That is why he hadn't shown up on time for the party. He spent the last several hours just thinking about what to do. Then he'd seen her out on the balcony looking like an angel in the moonlight and he realized what he needed to do.

Pan almost screamed out in shock when she felt a hand on her shoulder that shook her from her thoughts. She whirled around and found herself face to face with the most attractive man in the universe.

"Shhhhh.... I don't want anyone to know that I'm here. Come with me. I want to show you something." He took her hand and all she was able to do was nod.

He pulled her off the balcony and they took off in the opposite direction of Satan City. After a bit of flying they landed inside of the old statium where they'd all competed in the Worlds Tournament.

"I didn't think you'd come tonight."

Trunks released Pans hand and turned around. For a moment she thought that he would walk away but then he stopped. "I had to think."

Pans mind started to race. Think? About what?! Trunks' face looked so troubled and she couldn't figure out why. She'd never seen him like this before. After a long silence, she walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Whats wrong?"

He ignored her question and started his own line of questioning. "Do you know why I brought you here?"

"No." That was the truth. Pan honestly had no clue.

He turned towards her so quickly that it caught Pan of guard. The intesity in his eyes made it impossible for her to look away.

"I brought you here because this was the first place that I relized how special you were to me."

"What?" Now Pan was REALLY confused. She'd only been there with Trunks twice. Once she was 4 and the other time she was 11.

Thankfully Trunks' gaze softened and he smiled. Then he took her hand and lead her to the edge of the ring to have a seat.

"Let me explain..."
