Chapter 2: Christmas ball and christmas presents
*~~*The next day*~~*
Pan woke up slowly. she had just gotten the best sleep in her entire life. Right now, she just wanted to keep on sleeping. suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "SHIT...who could it be in this time of day...?" pan mumbled. she was not one bit happy. another knock could be heard. "i'm coming already, hold up!"
Quickly, pan slipped out of bed to walk over to her door. when she opened it, she found trunks standing there, wearing his royal outfit. "hello, milady, have a nice rest?" pan frowned. "i was... until you knocked on the door. i'm still sleepy, can i go back to bed?" trunks' eyes widened. "oh. i'm sorry to disturb you. but... it's noon..." all of a sudden pan was wide-awake. "it's noon? oh my god. i better go change. umm... can you wait for a second? it won't take long." gently, pan closed the door and rushed to her closet. picking out a red dress and mmatching shoes, she got dressed quickly, in record time, she seperated her hair in the middle and braided them. it came out nicely, despite her rush.
"i'm ready! you can come in!" pan cried. slowly, trunks entered the room. "are you comfortable here?" pan nodded, smiling "yes, where shall we go?"
*~~*a year later*~~*
It has been a year later now and pan had learned who everyone was. she had become close friends with trunks and best friends with bura, while goten became trunks' best friend and had started to become friends with bura. the king and queen didn't mind them staing at the palae and eventually learned to trust them.
Her parents had visited every now and then. they were glad that pan was happy and that no one had hurt her. but now they visit less often as usual, since pan's grandfather goku died.
It was december 24 and everyone was getting ready for the christmas ball that queen bulma was holding that night.
*~~*In bura's room*~~*
"this would look absolutely great on you!" bura squealed. in her hands, she held a pure white dress with a cropped top along with matching heels. "put it on. the ball will be starting in two hours and we need to get ready. now where is that red dress...?"
picking up her clothing from bura's bed, pan left the room and headed toward her toom, whick was down the hall from bura's. "hello, milady. where is a pretty girl like you going?" pan turned around startled "Gerald! oh my god... you.. you scared me" the knight just grinned. "i'll see you around milady." pan just nodded in reply. quickly, without hesitation, she went to her room.
*~~*in the ballroom*~~*
"Pan!" pan turned around to see trunks walking to her. pan quickly walked toward trunks. "Hey, trunks. or should i say... prince trunks?" trunks chuckled. "well, milady, can you do me a favor?" pan looked at him curiously. "and what's that, my prince?" trunks extended his hand and grinned. "may I have this dance?" pan placed her hand on his, smiling. "sure, why not."
The music began as trunks and pan started dancing. many people looked on at them in awe. soon everyone began to dance. "pan... do you know how beautiful you are right now?" trunks whispered into pan's ear. pan blushed furiously. "stop kidding around trunks." trunks grinned "who said that i was kidding?" pan just turned redder by the moment.
By the end of the night, everyone began to leave, after congradulating the king and the queen for the magnificent ball. trunks quickly grabbed pan's hand and smiled. "C'mon, goten and bura are waiting for us." they left the room before the last of the guests left. quickly, trunks dragged pan through the corridors and stopped in front of his room. with graceful movements, trunks opened the door and bowed. "after you, milady."
Pan smiled softly and walked in. there was bura with her head on goten's chest, they were staring at eachother affectionatly as goten played with bura's hair. with a huge grin, pan cleared her throat. Instantly, they looked up and blushed. "i...i..umm...hey pan..." goten stammered. "so... are you two a couple?" bura nodded. "umm...yes...look pan if your uncomfortable about th-" pan shook her head. "no. i'm glad yo two are together. you guys are cute together! congradulations!" goten grinned crookidly. "thank you pan for being supportive."
"hey guys, it's midnight." trunks said pan whirled around to face trunks. "really??!" trunks smiled "merry christmas." suddenly, bura jumped up and down and hugged everyone. "merry christmas!! i got everyone of you a gift. c'mon let's open them!"
pan smiled. "let me get my gifts." goten nodded. "yeah, me too, i need to get my gifts from my room also." bura grinned. "oh yeah. me too!"
everyone went to their rooms to get the figrs. trunks sat down on his bed patiently waiting. taking out the gifts from his closet, he smiled softly as he thought of the reactions that the others will have, especially pan. "we're back!" bura cried, as she, pan and goten entered the room. as they all sat down on the floor, they sorted out the gifts. "this one is for goten, this is for pan, and this is for trunks." bura said. finally they were settled "bura, you go first." trunks said. bua pouted, "fine! now the first gift is from trunks" quickly, she ripped the wrapping paper. "and to think that i spent my time wrapping the gift, only to get the wrapping paper ripped into little pieces..."
finally, bura revealed a long velvet red dress with some gold here and there. "thank you trunks! this is what i wanted for a long time!" quickly, she opened the gift from pan. it was a whole set of make-up. "pan!! it's wonderful! thank you!" finally, she opened the gift from goten. it was a golden-heart shaped locket. opening it, there was an engraving in it, along with a small portrait of her. bura looked up at goten lovingly. "thank yo goten. it's beautiful. it's the bestest present i've ever gotten!"
Pan sighed as the couple stared into the other's eyes. "goten open your presents" snapping out of it, goten just opened all his gifts at once. from pan, he got a book on creatures all over the world. from trunks, he got gold coins. "i didn't know what to buy you, so instead i'll give you some gold coins to buy something you want." trunks said. goten nodded in understanding and looked at what bura got him. it was a dark blue mantle. "I umm... made it myself. do you like it?" goten stared at bura in awe. "bura...this is going to be my favorite present ever. thank you."
"i'm going to open my presents now!" trunks cried. he opened his gifts quickly. he got the latest book from bura, a writing set from goten, and a gold pocket watch from pan. "it's the latest thing in europe. it lets you tell time easily." pan explained. trunks grinned "Cool"
at lastm pan opened her presents. she got a new dress from bura, a few golden bracelet's from goten, and last but certainly not least, she got a music box from trunks. the music box had beautiful, polished, dark brown surface with some gold here and there. "it's...beautiful..." cautioysly, pan lifted the lid. a soft, but beautiful mysic began. inside, there was a silver locket, pan looked up to see trunks smiling at her. slowly, pan opened the locket. there was a short engraving inside. Quickly, pan read it.
"tru...trunks...i...i don't know what to say...thank you..." trunks looked on at pan's reaction. 'if only...if only i had the courage to tell her..." slowly, pan stood up. "umm...it's getting late. i better go to bed. goodnight everyone." with quick movements pan picked up her gifts and walked out of the room.
*~~*in pan's room*~~*
pan put the dress nto her closet and the golden bracelets in her jewlry box. all that's left were the music box and the locket from trunks. with care, pan placed the music box down on the table stand. then she opened the locket and read the message again.
"to my dearest pan, your everything to me. you've conquered my heart and soul. i don't know how to say this but I love you, Trunks."
pan sighed. suddenly, there was a knock on the door. placing the locket in her jewlry box, pan went to answer the door. instead of anyone she expected it to be, there stood Gerald, the royal knight. "hello, milady. i have a gift for you.
