Last Time: Their lips touched lightly then…
Marron came in and quickly killed the mood. "Trunks! There you are," she cried enthusiastically. Pan and Trunks jumped and disappeared to opposite ends of the room. Disappointment and slight confusion was added to the swirl of emotions they were experiencing. "I have to tell you something," Marron told Trunks as she dragged him away. They left Pan alone to contemplate what just took place.
After what just happened, Pan decided she wasn't going to let Trunks get away that easy. So she set off to find him and make him hers.
Meanwhile…"Oh Trunks!" came Marron's high pitched squeal, "I was looking all over for you! I wanted to know if you wanted to go out sometime. Ooh! I know! I'll cook you dinner at my place!"
"Uh…Marron? You're a great girl and you're pretty-"
"Oh thank you," Marron interrupted as she jumped up to hug him.
At that moment, Pan found Trunks…in Marron's arms. If only she saw the weirded-out and uncomfortable look he had on his face.
"Ok. Uh Marron-" Trunks began. Marron put her finger to his lips to silence him. Then she forced her lips onto his. That was when Pan's world came crashing down. She stomped away loudly, letting her presence be known. Trunks turned around and saw her beautiful form walking away angrily. He immediately felt guilty without knowing why.
"Marron!" Trunks stated decisively, "As I was saying, you're a great girl but I don't feel the same way about you."
Marron's face fell. "Oh. Okay. Well, that's a shame. We could have had something good," she said seductively, trying to cover up her disappointment. She had never been turned down before. (There's a first for everything.) She quickly left the room in embarrassment.
Trunks was left bemused. Why did he feel guilty when he saw Pan? Why the sudden attraction to her? All these questions, he had no answers to.
Pan found a spare bedroom in a wing of Capsule Corps. that was as far away from the party as possible. She released all the pressure that had built up inside of her. Tears poured down her cheeks.
"I can't believe I actually thought he would want to go out with me," Pan thought sadly, "he probably thinks I'm too young. He'll never think of me like that. Who was I kidding? Like he'll ever love me. Well, I'm over it. I'm over him. I don't love him anymore. I don't love him anymore. I don't love him anymore. Ha! I'm pathetic. And a really bad liar. I love him!"(Sorry about the corny one-sided conversation. It had to be done.) At this, she cried even harder. She couldn't take the pain of seeing Trunks yet again with another woman besides herself. Especially with Marron. Why couldn't be her?
Pan's pent up anger and frustration fought to get out, so she decided to beat the shit out of something. She headed out to the Gravity Room. She knew Bra wouldn't miss her because she was shamelessly flirting with Goten, who was too clueless to get what she was doing but he knew he liked it. Pan especially knew Trunks wouldn't miss her.
Pan went upstairs to Bra's room to grab something comfortable to train in. The problem was that Bra took after her father- in a bad way. Like Vegeta, Bra only wore tight, revealing Spandex. And Pan knew that Bra didn't like train because she hated getting sweaty and yet, she kept tons of pairs of it. Pan was used to baggy shorts and biker shorts like her mom. But she reluctantly put on a pair of Spandex and looked at herself self-consciously.
Pan slipped out Bra's window so one noticed from the party. Once inside the GR, she put the gravity to the highest setting it could go, ignoring the warning that the machine could overheat from working so hard. She started throwing kicks and punches, pretending Trunks and Marron were kissing and they were the recipients of all her blows. Then she imagined Marron's annoying face in front of her and started fighting even harder. Her rage blinded her from what was going on around her. Red, flashing warning lights and a warning signal were going off around her.
Meanwhile inside the party…
Vegeta silently wished he could be out training in the GR instead of being here, at the party, in so much irritating human contact. But the only human contact he could stand and secretly enjoyed told him that if he loved her, he would stay. Of course he loved her but he didn't wear a sign declaring it but then also he didn't want to sleep on the couch either. So instead, he sat at the party, in his "Bad Guy" (sometimes its Bad Man) shirt, skulking. He decided to at least look at his precious GR. He was surprised the light was on. So he checked to make sure Bulma wasn't watching him and went to take a peek at what was going on. What he saw, alarmed him.
Whew! I am the worst author in the world. I really planned to get this chapter out by Spring Break but things came up and I wanted to type a semi-long chapter instead of cutting it off to post it earlier. I just couldn't resist putting a little B/V in there. I originally wanted to write a B/V. Omygosh! Has anyone seen the episodes where Vegeta fights Majjin Buu? In California, on Cartoon Network they only played the episodes up until Vegeta fights him. Then there are tapes of what happens after that come out two at a time, once a month. It is so good. So email me if you have seen them because I really want to discuss it with someone. I got a new email address its dreamberry_2004@yahoo.com. Okie dokie. Buh-byeee!
