Chapter 18: Dating?

*BRRRRING! BRRRING!*
"Hello?" asked Pan,picking up the phone.
"Um,hello,I'd like to speak with miss Son Pan please?" the caller said uncertainly.
"Chris!" cried Pan in surprise. "You called!"
"Oh,hello Pan. You didn't think I would forget such a beautiful face so easily,did you?" Chris replied smoothly.
Pan blushed. "That's so sweet of you."
"I wanted to see you again,Pan. Can we meet?"
"Sure," Pan felt herself blushing again. "How about at the Orange Cafe in...let's say,an hour."
"Great! I'll see you then."
~An hour later~
Pan opened the door of the Orange Cafe and looked around for any sign of Chris. She spotted a tall figure wearing a blue shirt and black pants. She smiled to herself as she went up to him and tapped him lightly on his shoulder.
"Hey,Chris."
Chris turned to her with a big grin on his face. "Why,hello again. You're exactly on time," he remarked. "Pan,I'd like you to meet some of my friends." he gestured to a couple of men sitting on tables across from theirs.
"Hey,babe. I'm Jack Harrison,Chris's best buddy." A tall and well built man of 23 grinned at her as he ran a hand through his blond hair.
"Jonas Carter,at your service." A young man of about 19 shook Pan's hand and kissed it.
"I'm Albert Alden,Chris's good friend." A dark skinned man of 25 held out his hand to her and smiled.
"And everyone,this is Pan,the girl of my dreams." Chris winked at Pan,making her blush again.
"It's great to meet all of you. I've only met Chris yesterday,yet I feel as if we've known each other forever." said Pan.
"I feel the same way." Chris whispered as he moved his face closer to hers.
"Ok,cut it out you two! We're not here to see you do mushy stuff!" said Jack,laughing.
"Oh? What about when you brung me along on that date you had with your wife? You practically made out in the resturant!" shot back Chris.
Jack blushed a deep shade of red. "Damn you,man! Talking like that in front of your girl here." He looked at Pan,who seemed uncomfortable at this conversation.
"All right,you guys,leave us alone now. After all,I came to spend time with her not you three!"
As the three left,Chris turned to Pan shaking his head. "When will those guys learn?"
Pan giggled. "They were very sweet,all of them."
"As sweet as me?" Chris grinned at her.
"Nope. Not even nearly as sweet as you."
Chris brought his face close to hers and brushed his lips against hers. "You look gorgeous,Panny. May I call you Panny?"
Pan returned the kiss as she put his arms around his neck. She suddenly remembered Trunks,who always called her Panny or Pan chan. Trying to shake off the feeling of guilt,she smiled saying,"Of course."
"Good. Pan,there's something I've been meaning to ask you..." his voice trailed off.
"Go on. What is it?"
"Are you seeing anyone? I mean,besides me,of course."
Again,she tried to shake off the feeling of guilt in the pit of her stomach. *I'm not seeing Trunks anymore. I WAS,but not anymore. And I don't want to.* "Uh,no. Not at all."
"Great!" Chris breathed a sigh of relief. "Because I wanted to start dating you seriously."

"We've got to keep trying,Trunks. Maybe Goten's back home by now." Amanda patted Trunks's hand,sighing.
"He's not." Trunks replied dully.
"Well,then keep searching for her ki. I'm sure you'll find her soon enough." said Amanda desperately.
"There's no point anymore. You know what I sensed yesterday,Amanda?"
"What?"
"Pan's in love. I can tell because I'm her real mate."
"What?! No way!"
"So you see,there's just no point anymore."
"Shit," cried Amanda,"That's one thing we sure didn't count on."
"You're telling me. I get depressed thinking of how Janine will grow up without a mother. She's growing so quickly."
"I'll take care of Janine myself. After all,i'm her grandmother,aren't I?" spoke up Bulma,standing in the door to Trunks's room.
"Oh,mom,thank you so much but.....I think she really needs a mother's care." he said gently.
"I know she does. But until then,I'll be with her."
"Thanks alot Mom. You're the best."
-----
"Honey,are you SURE you'll be all right by yourself?" asked Bulma for the hundreth time.
"Mom!" Trunks rolled his eyes,"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine!"
"I hope you'll be able to take care of Janine by yourself. Usually someone's home with you like Bra or Amanda. But they're going too,and so is Jeffrey."
"Have a great time at the party,Mom. I promise I'll be fine. And so will Janine." Trunks reassured her.
"Well...if you say so. Take care of yourself."
"Bye! Have fun!" Trunks closed the door behind him. The house suddenly seemed quiet. *Too quiet.* thought Trunks. Forgetting that Janine was sleeping upstairs,he turned on the music. Loud.
"Much better!" he sighed. He grabbed a magazine and began to read. 10 minutes later,he jolted up at the sound of a baby crying. *Janine!* he thought,as he madly dashed up the stairs.
Once upstairs,he realized the blaring music must have woken her up. *Damn! How stupid can I be?* he thought. "Hiya Janine! Daddy's here!" he cooed,picking her up into his arms. Janine giggled and burped loudly.
"You're probably hungry,aren't you? I'll make you some of that baby mush." he ran back downstairs with Janine in his arms. Opening a jar of baby food,he fed it to her by the spoonful. 5 minutes later,Janine refused to eat anymore,and he scooped her up into his arms and patted her on the back,trying to get her to burp.
Janine kicked around uncomfortably,and eventually burped,leaving a white sticky liquid on his shirt. "Dende!" Trunks cried as he settled Janine down on the floor and ran to the bathroom,madly rubbing at his shirt to get the liquid off. Trunks sighed tiredly as he returned back to the living room,only to see Janine crying again.
"Now what is it?" he grumbled. *I've fed her,and she's already slept.* he thought. *What was the other thing Mom always did when she cried?* Then it hit him. "We've got to change your diaper!" *But how?* he thought with a sinking feeling in his stomach. *It can't be too hard. I'll learn.* He grabbed Janine and took her to the bathroom,and removed her diaper,holding his nose.
"Ugh! It's so dirty!" he threw it in the trash and Janine gurgled happily. He took a diaper,and tried to tie it on her. He twisted the diaper this way and that,desperately trying for it to fit. But no matter how hard he tried,it wouldn't stay in one place. Finally,he grabbed a pin from his mother's drawer and just pinned it into place. "There. That'll have to do until Mom or someone can do it right."
Trunks expected to hear the happy gurgling sound of Janine,but instead he heard a soft snore. "Well,what do you know. She's sleeping again."
~An hour later~
"Honey,was everything all-" Bulma broke off as she stared at the pinned diaper on Janine.
Bra burst out laughing,followed by Amanda. "You did that? Sweet Dende!"
"Not only that," Trunks replied dryly,"I fed her too. Not to mention I spent 10 minutes rubbing off a white sticky thing she threw up on me!"
Bulma,Bra,and Amanda laughed harder. Jeffrey took Trunks's side and said,"Hey,how was he supposed to know how to deal with baby vomit?"
The girls didn't seem to have heard. Trunks rolled his eyes and sighed saying,"Some father I'm going to be."

A/N: NOOOO! Trunks,don't give up hope yet! Keep searching,because there's something fishy going on with Chris Mcloughlin...
Next Chapter: Trunks finds Pan! The long awaited talk! How will Chris react? and how will Pan react? And what exactly is going on between Jeffrey and Amanda? And where's Goten?!
