Chapter 3
~At Pan's House~
I walked around in circles in my bedroom. My mind filled with frustration. *What the hell am I going to do? I don't want to disappoint Dad by not going to this party, but I really don't want to miss the opportunity in seeing Trunks again. Damn!!! Why is this so hard? I really really like Trunks. I can't stop thinking about him ever since that day I met him. But I love my Dad. What can I do to not mess this thing up? Damn-*
My thoughts were interrupted by a voice I wasn't expecting.
"Hey Panny! Are you already for the party tonight? I hear it's going to be fun!!" my mom shouted with excitement.
"Hi Mom. You back from work already?" I asked softly.
"Yea, my boss let me off early. So, are you excited about your blind date?" Mom said excitedly.
"Umm, not really. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to go to this party tonight. I know if I don't, Dad will be sad about it and you know how I hate it when he is." I answered very softly.
"Its ok. Just go to this party and then it will be over with. If you don't like your blind date, then that's it. No more blind dates for you. Ok? Just do this for your father." Mom said smiling as she left my room.
I was about to object when I heard the phone next to my bed ring about a thousand times.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi Pan, its me, Trunks,"
"Oh hey Trunks. I'm so glad that you called. Listen, about tonight.." I said as I was interrupted by his sweet voice.
"Yea, about that, umm I can't make it. You see, my parents are taking me to dinner tonight, and they have been planning this for a while. I'm really sorry about this Pan. I could have called sooner, but I've been busy lately. I really do want to get to know you, but I guess tonight isn't a good night.." Trunks said as though he was out of breath.
"It's fine Trunks. You don't have to apologize for anything. You see, my parents are making me go to this lame party tonight, and I totally forgot about it. I too wanted to get to know you. Maybe another time we can?" I said very sadly.
There was silence for a while. I was worried that Trunks might not have heard me.
"Yeah, we can definitely go out another time. Look Pan, I have to go now. My parents are screaming at me. So, I'll see you later. Bye Pan." He said.
"Bye." I said sadly.
When we hung up, someone busted through my room screaming.
"Hurry Pan or we are going to be late?" Shouted my dad as he was putting on his tie.
"Ok, ok. I'll get dressed." I said a little amused.
*~*~*~*~*~*
We have arrived at this restaurant where tons and tons of people were outside. I looked around to see tons and tons of women standing and looking for some particular person.
"I wonder who they are looking for?" I asked myself.
Then seconds later, my dad had parked the car. When we got out he handed me an object, which I did not know what it was.
"Here Pan, take this." My dad said cheerfully.
"What is it Dad?" I asked curiously.
"It's a mask for the party. I guess I forgot to tell you that this party is sort of like a costume party, but we only wear masks."
I stared at my dad for what seemed like hours.
"I'm not wearing that Dad! And you can't make me." I shouted.
"Yeah, you are going to wear this. Come on, this is just for fun. We only get to wear a mask for a little while. I don't know, but it was my friend's wife that said that we had to. She said that it would be fun for all of us to do this. So please Pan, can you?" Dad said like he was begging.
"Fine, give it to me." I said as I snapped it out of his hands.
The mask I wore was almost like butterfly wings. I thought that it was embarrassing to wear it, but when I walked into the restaurant, there were people with masks of all shapes and sizes.
"Oh my god!!" I said softly.
*~*~*~*
"Why are we at this restaurant? This looks like a party. Mom, Dad, what is going on?" asked Trunks questioningly.
"Well, Trunks. This party is for. you! Surprise!! Now put this mask on. I'd thought it would be fun." Bulma cheered.
"Mom! I don't want to." Trunks whined.
"Please, only for a little while. And besides I have a little surprise for you later on tonight." Bulma smiled as she got out of the car.
Trunks followed behind. *This is so embarrassing!* He put on the golden mask and walked inside.
*~*~*~*~*
"Pan, I'm going to find my friend, so you sit here and enjoy yourself. I'll be back with your blind date." Dad said as he smiled and then walked away.
I just watched him walk away. I sat on a chair that was behind me. I looked around, watching all the couples dancing and having fun. *Oh my god!! Why do I keep feeling sorry for myself? I wish Trunks were here. Then at least I would try to enjoy myself.*
Then all of a sudden a figure stepped up in front of me. He was blocking my view of the wonderful couples that were dancing.
"Excuse miss? Is someone sitting here?" He said in a soft voice pointing to an empty seat.
"No, no, go ahead," I said.
"What a great party huh? I can't believe my parents dragged me out here?" the mysterious man said.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. My parents did the same thing. I really didn't want to come. I had other plans." I said sadly.
I looked at him and smiled. I can tell he smiled back at me.
"Yeah, I met this beautiful woman a couple of days ago. And I can't seem to get her off my mind. I wish she were here so I could tell her how I feel. Sure I just met her, but my heart just wants me to go for it. I'm sorry, am I talking too much?" he said as he was blushing.
"Oh no, I know exactly what you mean. I met this great guy. I really like him a lot. I haven't felt this way about anyone. I wish I could tell him how I feel too." I said as I kept smiling.
"Well, I hope we both get the chance to tell that person how we feel for them. Look, I have to go now, someone is calling for me. It was great talking to you. Bye now." He said as he stood up and walked off.
I looked at him, and I could tell that he knows what it feels like to like someone that much. Then I heard someone else call my name.
"Pan, Pan, come here!! Your blind date is waiting for you!" shouted my dad from a far.
I stood up not even answering him. I walked slowly until I reached him.
"I'm here Dad. So where is he?" I said as I looked around.
"Right there! Don't you see? He is standing right next to that person with that nice looking mask." My dad said cheerfully.
As I scanned the room, there he was. Or what I thought was him. He was exactly what I had pictured. A person with a mask covered with his glasses, and braces.
"Oh my god! Dad, you did it this time. I can't do this.." I said as Dad interfered.
"Do you hear that? A slow song!! What a perfect opportunity to meet your date!!" He jumped up and down. He grabbed my arm and dragged my to the dance floor.
I stood there looking like an idiot. Waiting for my 'date' to come up to me. Instead, he just stood there drinking his punch. He looked around until his eyes met mine. He later took his eyes off of me, and wondered them somewhere else. Like he was all cool.
*Damn! I can't believe this. I know this isn't going to work out.." I said.
I was about to leave the dance floor, but someone popped in front of me.
"Here Pan, meet your date." My dad said as he pushed some guy in front of me.
I looked at my dad then back at that geek drinking his drink.
"You mean, that guy over there, isn't my date?" I said very confused.
"Oh no! Why would he be? What a geek!! This is your date. Now have fun!" Dad said as he walked off.
When I looked up my eyes just went wide.
"You're my date? I can't believe this!" I said shockingly.
It was that same guy that I talked to when I was at that table.
"I can't believe it either. What a small world!! Well, since we are here, why don't we dance." He said as he took my hand and we started to slow dance.
"This is so weird. I'm so embarrassed." I said as I put my head down.
"You're the one that's embarrassed? Look at me! I have to wear this stupid mask. I can't wait to take it off." He said laughing.
I laughed and smiled. We danced until the song was over. It didn't seem that long, but everyone clapped at the end.
"Well, you want to know what I think?" He said cheerfully. "I think you and I should take off our masks and reveal ourselves." He said mysteriously.
"Sure why not! I have no idea what you look like anyway." I said as we both took off our masks and then stared at each other straight in the eye.
"Oh my god!!" We both said in unison.
I couldn't say anything I was so shocked, but somewhat happy at the same time.
"Tru-Trunks? You mean, you're my blind date?" I said as if I was almost out of breath.
"Pa-Pan? Oh my god!! This is really embarrassing. I can't believe our parents set us up. But to tell you the truth I'm glad that they did." He said as he bent down and touched my lips with his.
When we broke for air, my mind was still filled with confusing ideas.
"What was that for?" I asked still wanting more.
"Well, I have been waiting to do that a while now." Trunks smiled.
I smiled and hugged him. Knowing that I'm really glad my dad did this for me.
"This is your dinner you were supposed to go to?" I asked.
"Well, it was my mother's idea. This whole thing turned out to be a surprise party for me. My mom also said that she had a little surprise for me later. And that surprise was this blind date." He said smiling. "To tell you the truth, I wasn't exactly happy about it."
I looked at him then frowned.
"Oh no, please don't think that. I'm really glad my mom made this party. I got a chance to see you again." Trunks said happily.
"Hey, Trunks, before you say anything, I have to tell you something." I said.
"Really? What is it?" He said afraid of the response.
"You know how when we said back there at that table, that we both wanted to tell that person that we cared about how we feel? Well, I just have to say that.. I .. I really really like you Trunks." I said blushing and looking down at the ground.
Trunks just smiled and lifted up my chin.
"Well, Pan! I don't know what to say. Except that I have to tell you something too. I.. I.really" He was about to say when someone just jumped in in front of us.
"Hey, Trunks I have been looking all over for you. Where have you been?" said this same blonde I saw at the park.
The next thing I knew this bimbo dragged Trunks onto the dance floor.
"I guess Trunks doesn't feel the way I do. Man, I can't believe I just said that in front of his face. Now he must of think that I'm such an idiot." I screamed.
I looked at the couple dancing. I saw Trunks glance at me, but then turned away.
I felt so stupid, that I just left those two alone.
~Meanwhile~
"Come on Trunks, why aren't you dancing?" shouted Marron.
"Marron what the hell are you doing here? And why the hell did you just pull me away from Pan?" screamed Trunks.
"I just want to be with you that's all." Said Marron innocently.
"Look, we are over! Stop following me! And if you pull a stunt like that again, I'll make sure that the police will hear from me, k?" Trunks said seriously.
And with that he shoved himself away from Marron, and ran after Pan.
*I have to find her. I didn't tell her how I feel. Damn! She must have gotten the wrong idea. Where is she?* Trunks thought breathlessly.
He looked around the room, but still couldn't see Pan. He bumped into people, shoving them, and pushing them.
"What am I going to do?"
