Okay... if you are a Kyoko lover and a Cammy hater then you will love this chapter! Enough said! :) Love, *Faye*

I flew to Capsule Corp not even sure if Trunks would be there. I knew it wasn't fair to go and tell him the rumors that I'd heard but wasn't it also unfair not to tell him?
Suddenly I felt a ki flying towards me and I froze. Second later Trunks was hoovering in front of me.
"Pan, we need to talk." He looked dead serious.
"I know." My heart sank. Trunks only looked like this when he was forced to do something that he didn't like.
"I have to try to work things out with Cammy for the babys sake. You understand, don't you?" His eyes seemed to be pleading for understanding.
I had made a firm resolve not to cry anymore but all I could muster was a nod.
"Pan, I need you to understand."
"I do Trunks... I do."
He suddenly flew forward and took my face in his hands. "No you don't." He waited until our eyes met before he continued. "I love you Pan. I want to be with you more than anything else in the world.
My resolve to not cry crumbled as I felt hot tears roll down my face and over his hands. "I love you too, Trunks but its not fair."
"This is all my fault. I'm so, so sorry. Now this bond between us makes me feel like I'll be ripped apart every moment that I am away from you."
"You feel it too?!" My jaw dropped.
"Yes. As Dad so delicatly put it, you are my mate. He then told me that if I stayed with Cammy that I may as well kill myself because I'd never be happy."
"Oh...." That was all I could manage to say. I remember Vegeta telling me about a saiyan bond once but that was years ago and I'd nearly forgotten. "Why are you telling me this? It doesn't change a thing."
"But Pan, I have to think of something. I want to be with you!"
"Trunks, Kyoko told me something that she heard in a rumor and I wanted to tell you." I took a deep breath and let out the news. "She heard that Cammy had been unfaithful."
Trunks frowned and dropped his head in defeat. "I know."
"WHAT?!"
"I know... Thats what makes all of this so difficult. I love YOU! I want to be with YOU! Now I am saddled with a child that I won't even know if its mine until after the birth."
"I'm sorry." My heart was broken but the fact that he'd openly admitted his love to me kept that spark of hope alive in my soul. Unfortunately the feeling was bittersweet.
'I'm sorry' were the two most useless words in the world for a sitsuation like this but nothing else came to mind. We both simply hovered in the air not too far from Capsule Corp and looked at each other. The silence was killing me but the words that came out of my mouth were just asking for more pain in the future.
"No matter what happens between you, Cammy and the baby, I'll always be here for you." I gave my best effort at a smile but I am sure I failed miserably.
Trunks sighed deeply in relief. "Thank you, Pan. I don't think I could go through these next 6 months without you." He took my hands and pulled me into his arms. "I hope someday you can forgive me."
"I already have." And although I still hurt deeply, the words were true.
***3 Months Later***
Kyoko had come over this morning and we'd spent the whole day getting ready to go to dinner. She'd said that I'd locked myself up in the house too much lately and I needed to get out.
She taken the whole saiyan and super power stuff very well but then again Dad had a way of calming people down. The first day sfter she found out she'd begged Dad and I to show her some cool ki blasts so we gave her a little private show in the forest near Grandma Chi-chis house. Dad must have really taken a liking to Kyoko because he even went Super Saiyan just to show her what it looked like. Now she thought Dad was a god. Mom just told her that she would have liked Grandpa Goku even better. She'd definetly become like the sister I'd never had.
Trunks on the other hand called me every night faithfully just to find out how I was doing. I hadn't seen him since that last time though because Cammy had told him that the thought of him seeing me was upsetting and that was bad for the baby. She'd tried to make him cut off all contact but he finally put his foot down. I silently prayed that she'd get as bug as a house just so I could have a touch of revenge.
"Pan, are you daydreaming again?" Kyoko let out a discusted sigh.
"Sorry, I can't help it."
"I swear Pan. If that kid is not Trunks' I am going to kill her."
I laughed good heartedly. She'd been making the same threat everyday for a month.
"No Pan. I'm serious. Cold-blooded, pre-meditated murder." Her face was dead serious until she winked and e both burst out laughing.
I sighed. "Oh Kyoko... thats such a nice fantasy." Then I made a pouty face. "Too bad Dad has to go and spoil all of our fun!" My face made Kyoko laugh so hard that she almost fell over.
"Well Panny. Only time will tell what is going to happen so its my job to keep you happy until that time comes. Now get ready. Our reservations are in 45 mins.
We got dolled up and headed out to dinner at the nicest resturant in Satan City. Being the granddaughter of the one and only Mr. Satan assured us a good table and great service.
We chatted for a long time and I had to admit that it was one of the funnest nights I'd had in quite a while. We reminsied about high school, college, bad dates and just about everything else under the sun except for Trunks and Cammy.
At the end of the evening I forced Cammy to let me pay the bill before we stepped out the door. To my surprise a man held the door open for us and when I looked up to thank him, I nearly started laughing. For some reason I found it extremely funny.
Trunks was holding the door but once he realized it was us, he let go of the door in shock and almost knocked Kyoko out.
"Hello Trunks! Long time no see." Kyoko smiled widely.
"Hi Kyoko, hi Pan. How are you ladies doing?"
"Just great! We just had a fabulous dinner and now we are off to see a movie." Kyoko spoke excitedly while I just stood sliently watching the events unfold.
"Sounds like fun."
"Are you done?!" Cammy sounded put out and then sighed melodramatically.
I opened my mouth to say a quick goodbye and escape to avoid a conflict but Kyoko was faster.
"Oh... and YOU must be Cammy. I've heard so very, very much about you. All bad I assure you." Her voice was dripping with malice.
"Ans who are you?!" I don't really think that Cammy cared who she was but deep down I think that she just wasn't clever enough to come up with a good rebuttal.
"I'm Kyoko, best friend of Pan and cheerleader to the saiyan race." The phrase slid off her tongue so naturally that Trunks and I exchanged shocked looked before bursting into laughter.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Obviously Trunks had still not told her about our heritage but what really seemed to be bothering her is that Trunks and I were laughing together.
"Oh nothing Cammy. Nothing at all." I had to admit that I was truly impressed by Kyokos ability to act heartless.
"Listen Ryoko--"
"Kyoko. K-Y-O-K-O"
"Whatever. I don't care about you or that little bitch--"
Before any of us knew it, Kyoko slapped Cammy across the face with a satisfying smack.
"Dende." I muttered under my breath and Trunks' jaw dropped but I would swear that I'd seen just a hint of amuesment in his eyes. I grabbed Kyokos arm and drug her towards the road as the two women began shouting at each other.
Trunks was physically holding Cammy back as she she screamed. "I'll get you back! You better run! I'll sue you for everything you have!"
"YEAH?! Try it! I don't have anything! Don't you ever call Pan that again or I'll do worse!"
I had to drag Kyoko half way down the street before she stopped yelling but once she did I took one look at her face and began laughing. Then she joined in too. We must have sat there laughing for 10 minutes before I was able to speak again.
"That was great! I'll never get the image of Cammy shocked face out of my head!"
"I know! I just hope that Trunks doesn't get too mad. Then again, if she ever calls you that again, I'll do worse than just slap her."
I grinned. "Just make sure I'm there to watch it. Dad said I couldn't touch her but he never said I couldn't watch!" That sent is into a new wave of laughter!
