1 But She Was Happy………………….Chapter 4
Pan woke to a blinding headache. It was like a migraine but worse. However, her head had held. That was when she noticed that Atzirk's arm was around her. She groaned and then memories from the night before flashed through her memory. Her facial featured dropped and she felt her eyes beginning to sting with tears as she held them back. But she couldn't. They were silent and she wiped them with her hands, determined not to make a sound or make her eyes puffy. She glanced at the clock and it read as 5:00. She decided to go down to her dojo that was located behind the house and train. She quietly slipped out of the bed and put her fiancé's arm on the bed gently. After washing and dressing into a tee shirt, shorts and tying her hair back with a bandanna like she used to when she was little, she went into her dojo.
It was an enormous room with bars and ropes for her gymnastic work on one side and punching and kicking equipment on the other side. But she set her sights on the gravity chamber that only she knew about in the basement of the dojo. Bulma had made it for her nine years ago and she had put it in a capsule. She had only put it in there after she had phoned Trunks for the first time in nine years. She couldn't control herself and instead of crying, she let her anger out by training under intense gravity. And that was what she was going to do now.
She went to the control panel and put it on. Then she raised the gravity to 350 times Earth's normal gravity: the highest she had ever gone to was 200 times. She instantly felt the pull of the gravity and fell to the floor gasping for breath as it pulled on her lungs. She raised her ki as much as she could and slowly stood up. She could feel her knees buckling, but she held in best she could. After about 10 minutes, she was able to at least walk. She began by doing push-ups and press-ups and lifting weights. Perspiration trickled down her brow and got worse as she trained harder. After about an hour, she began to practice her fighting moves: kicks, punches and ki blasts. She then tried to fly and found herself being pulled down.
~Come on Pan! What's wrong with you? You have saiyan blood in you, this shouldn't be a problem!~
She again tried to touch the ceiling, but to no avail.
"Come on!" she yelled out loud. It echoed around the room. She could feel her veins beginning to bulge as her blood circulation became faster. Her ki rose dramatically high as she put as much effort into trying to touch the ceiling.
Slowly, but surely, she rose higher and higher. She could sense her own power growing bigger and bigger. A blue aura danced and swirled around her as she gained more power. Her long black hair moved and rose, splitting into chunks. She rose her ki even higher and suddenly her pupils disappeared and were replaced with bright light. The blue aura began to produce sparks and her hair became defined even more. She suddenly rose with great speed and slowed as she neared the ceiling. She reached up with her arm and gently lifted herself to touch the ceiling. Her eyes were still bright and filled with light and her hair remained the same. She then let a yell escape her lips as the aura became bigger and sparks hit the floor. This hoisted her up and she touched the ceiling. As soon as she did, her powering up failed her and she fell to the bottom of the gravity room with a
loud thud. The gravity still clung her down and when she did at last open her eyes, she couldn't move.
"What the hell happened?" she said out loud, "I've never felt anything like that happen before, it was as if I was being sucked inside out and like something was trying to escape me, but it failed. I'm glad it did though; who knows what would have happened."
Perspiration trickled down her brow and fell to the floor. Her breathing was fast and heavy. She couldn't move an inch. It was then that Trunks came into her mind. She closed her eyes and tried to forget but the picture was staying there. She could feel her heart begin to ache as feelings washed over her. Tears came out forcefully at first, but freely afterwards. It took her a whole hour to hoist herself up and drag herself to the switch to turn the machine off. And she cried all the time. By this time, it was nearing 8:30 and she proceeded to take a quick shower and make herself breakfast, hoping that Atzirk would be hungry as well so that she could eat with him. She was going to be spending her entire life with this man and she wanted to spend some time with him, though deep inside, where she could not go, she was doing the wrong thing.
Her shower was uneventful and so was breakfast. Atzirk had eaten breakfast as well, but didn't only taste the breakfast, but her lips as well. She accepted this, trying not to lose control. Her mother had also called her telling her that the hen party was still on and that they would meet at the ice cream bar called Slush's downtown. Pan was surprised when she was told that Trunks' girlfriend was coming as well and she told her mother that it was fine, although images of telling Krystal about things that would surely make her break up with him flashed across her mind.
~No Pan~ she thought as her Mum talked about how excited she was on the phone, ~I mustn't do that. Trunks is a friend… that's all and he would be devastated if she broke up with him. Control yourself girl~
She hung up on the phone quickly telling her Mum that someone was at the door when really she was losing control of her emotions. Atzirk returned with his tuxedo in his hand from the shop where he had just been to find her tears rolling down her smooth complexion. Pan told him that she was just so happy and excited, telling herself to feel that at the same time as Trunks was only her friend, not lover.
The rest of the day went smoothly except that she stumbled across a picture album of the days of Bebi. She opened it to find pictures of herself when she was nine and pictures of Bra, her uncle Goten and Trunks. He was so young but he was still the same today. That was the only other time that she cried that day: crying for a whole hour straight until she could cry no more. At around 5:00, she began to get ready for her hen night: ice cream followed by extreme clubbing. Pan didn't feel in the mood at all even though Atzirk had told her that she was going to have a blast after his stag night was a complete success. She still had Trunks on her mind, but the thought of her friends and family seeing her upset put her right off the mood of crying.
Trunks had a pretty hectic morning. He promised his mum that he would go and do some work in his office, as there was some money issues to work out. He then called Krystal to tell her about the Hen night, but she was ill and couldn't go. He told her that he would come around later and hung up, calling Videl to tell her. After that, he had a hard three hours of training with his dad. That was when his mind went back to Pan.
"Son," said Vegeta while Trunks was busy doing 20,000 push-ups on his little finger.
"What, Dad?"
"Yesterday, when you came in from the outdoors, I noticed that you seemed a bit down."
Trunks looked at his father. Normally, he would let him sort out his own problems like he was taught, but where was this leading?
"You also missed your training."
Trunks growled and went back to his push-ups.
"I came to your room last night to see what was wrong, but you were asleep," said Vegeta.
"Well, a person can sleep, Dad," Trunks replied.
Vegeta knew that he had caught him out: "But not at 8:00 at night."
Trunks looked at his father and that was when Pan came into his mind again. He looked to the floor and continued with his training only to find himself losing count and focusing on her. He tried desperately to replace the picture with a picture of Krystal. He eventually did, taking less time than he had that morning.
~I'm getting better at letting her go~ he noted.
"You can hide it from me for now, Trunks, but you can't hide it forever; whatever it is."
"What if I do want to hide it?" Trunks retaliated.
"You need to face your problems, boy. Keeping them inside didn't help me one bit. How on Earth did you think I got your mother as my mate?"
"I said I wanted to hide it, okay?" Trunks yelled as he got up off the floor and wiped his brow with a towel.
"You have Bulma's attitude: stubborn."
"I don't care right now! Just leave me alone." Trunks left the room, dropping the towel on the floor.
Vegeta would have usually confronted him about what he had just said and in his tone of voice, but he knew exactly what Trunks was going through.
"Women trouble!" he said continuing his training and making a mental note to tell Bulma.
Later that day after a lunch: Bra, Marron, Trunks and Goten went to the mall to get their outfits. Goten and Trunks took half an hour to find what they wanted: Goten bought an orange suit complete with tie while Trunks bought grey trousers, and a light blue shirt to wear along with a grey jacket as he hated ties. But Marron and Bra went around the mall around a thousand times. They had to buy two outfits: one for the hen night and one for the wedding along with a pair of shoes. Along with stopping for ice cream, Bra, and Goten going missing (They masked their Trunks and Marron found them kissing) they didn't get home until 5:00. Trunks rushed out to Krystals while Bra got ready for the hen night.
But before Trunks reached the door, his mother confronted him about the incident in the gravity room.
"Trunks, your Father tells me that you were in a bit of a mood while you were training today."
"Mum, it was nothing. I only got annoyed because he told me what to do when it is my decision what I do."
"He knows what it's about Trunks," his mother said toady.
"What?"
"Look Trunks. Your father knows that you're experiencing women problems. Has Krystal dumped you?" Bulma asked.
"No! She would never do that. She loves me too much. Unlike all the other bimbos who were only after my money rather than my heart," Trunks replied matter of factly.
"So you are saying that your father is wrong in thinking that?"
"Yeah Mum!" he said raising his voice in annoyance.
"Look, I am only trying to help. But if you are in a pickle, you can talk to me."
"Who says I am in a pickle?" Trunks replied looking away to the floor, lowering his voice.
Bulma then knew that he was lying.
"Look," she began, "you just pay attention to what I said. I'm not implying anything but you need to listen to me if you want things to work out. Have a good time at Krystal's and remember that if you need me, just find me."
"Thanks, mum. You're the best."
"Remember that!" she said as Trunks left and closed the door.
He flew all the way taking only half a minute. He had bought her a card saying 'Get Well Soon' and also some flowers; her favourites: roses. He wondered if she was coming to the wedding but he secretly hoped that she wouldn't.
He got out his keys and opened the door, calling her. She eventually called back in a croak voice. He went into the lounge to see his girlfriend lying on the sofa, a box of tissues by her side.
"Looks like someone has a very bad cold," he cooed.
"Very funny, Trunks." She moved her legs so that he could sit down, but before he did, he gave her a kiss on the forehead, her card and her roses. She thanked him and he sat down. Trunks felt sorry for her as him being half-saiyan, he never got ill. However, he could feel ache in his heart so he ignored it, easily.
Krystal was not like Pan in any way. She wasn't a brunette but a blonde. Her hair was long and there wasn't trace of Brown in sight. Her eyes were a very dark blue. She was not tomboy like Pan. Instead she loved shopping and beauty and always made sure that her make-up and nails were perfect: making her very fussy. She wore a dressing gown. Her nose was very red and every time she spoke, she added a 'n' to the end of words because of her clamed nose.
"So, do you have any idea who you caught the cold of?"
"Well, it certainly wasn't you, Trunks," she said, "you are a saiyan and you said they never get ill. I wish I was like that."
"Oh yeah?" he replied.
"Yep! I wish I could have gone to the hen night tonight," she said miserably.
"Why?"
"Because I bought the most amazing dress to wear and was looking forward to meeting Pan as you say that she is an excellent person."
"Oh."
"Is something wrong Trunks?" she asked.
"No, not at all. Just happy to see you that's all!" he said.
"Here, have a sweet."
They were his favourites; in fact, he hadn't even told her that they were.
"Who told you that they were my favourites?"
"Bra," she replied and then sneezing.
"Oh, you poor thing. I wish there was something I could do to help," he said putting his arm around her.
Krystal thought about it for a minute and then remembered.
"You can give me a massage. My neck is killing me and you are good at them."
"Let me guess who told you that…Bra?"
She nodded.
"What else did she tell you?"
"Only that you make the best milkshakes in the world, once blew up your kitchen and that you have a serious crush on your friend Pan."
Trunks suddenly looked away from what he was staring at and made eye contact with her. His heart began to beat very fast and he could feel himself getting hot.
~How on Earth? She knows! She…she can't! Bra couldn't know about it so how does she?~
Trunks was struck out of his thoughts by Krystal calling his name and by tapping him on the face.
"Trunks? What's wrong? You're all tensed up," she said stroking his face.
~That's weird. She didn't have a go at me. I must have been imagining it~
"Trunks!"
"What?!" he asked, his voice rising.
"Are you alright? You sort of blanked out and tensed up," she replied somewhat scared. She reached up to feel his head, "Blimey! You're boiling hot!"
"I'm…I'm s…sorry Krystal," he stammered. ~What the hell is happening to me?~
"You look rough Trunks. You should get more sleep, Twunks," she said comforting him while messing up his hair.
"Oi!" he retaliated sorting out his hair.
She pulled him into a deep kiss. It lasted at least a minute before Trunks broke it.
"I have to go now."
"Why?" she asked looking upset, "I was hoping you would stay the night and you said that you weren't busy."
"My Mum told me that I had to sort out the lab. We had a bit of an accident with the chemicals before I came over. I need to clean it," he lied.
"Tomorrow then."
"After the wedding?"
"Yeah. Maybe, I'll catch the bouquet of flowers…" she giggled.
"Yeah." He leant over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. She had been dropping hints of engagement for a while now and Trunks was going to ask her soon, but now a new feeling in his heart seemed to stop him, even though he had planned to buy the ring by the end of the week and surprise her on her birthday that was in five days time. He cursed himself as he thought this. He was supposed to be letting Pan go and forgetting his love for her, not trying to forget about his life with Krystal and going with Pan. He kicked the lamp post that he passed as he walked down the street. It bent in half and he flew away.
When he got home, Bra and his mother were already ready to go. He said goodbye and then rushed to the gravity room. Vegeta was in there and when Trunks walked in he said: "Don't say a word."
His ki was raging and he needed to lose some sweat. Vegeta smirked and went about practising his meditating. Neither said a word to each other until Vegeta heard his stomach rumbling.
"So what's got you all humped up?"
"Well, Mum said you knew."
"I see that your mother had a word with you then: you mate has left you."
"No!" Trunks said angrily.
"Then what is it…in love with someone else?" he asked, smirking.
Trunks sort of lost control in his head and directed a punch in the side of Vegeta's head. He didn't expect it, so went crashing to the floor opposite. Trunks was in super saiyan level two and had a menacing look in his eyes. Nevertheless, his father got the best of him and in the blink of an eye had Trunks pinned to the floor, himself also in super saiyan level two.
"Trunks…"
"Dad, I'm sorry," Trunks said looking slightly scared and returning to normal state.
Vegeta saw the pain and anger in his eyes, which he knew were the best places to look for emotion. Then he too returned to normal state and helped him up.
"What is wrong with you? You have been acting weird lately."
"Nothing."
"What has your mate done, or what have you done?"
"Nothing Dad!" said Trunks, looking at him.
"I don't believe you."
"Oh!" Trunks thought for a moment. Then, "Dad, I love someone else. Okay?"
"You should have told me in the first place instead of resorting to anger, that is weak. I don't make promises, but I won't tell your mother." Vegeta said.
"Thanks, Dad." And with that, he left the room, trying to let Pan go every step of the way. He did: letting her go was much, much easier than he thought at first.
Pan looked at herself in the mirror. She wore purple dress that shimmered in the light. It was low cut and tied at the back of her neck. She hardly ever wore any of these type of clothes because she was a class A tomboy. Well, she once was a huge tomboy, loved fighting and being with the fighters. But now she was more like a woman. She did wear normal clothes instead of chains in her belt, but her bandanna stayed always. But tonight, her bandanna was put away and she had her long black hair up. It was fresh from being washed and dried quickly and she used her best clip to put it up. Before she used to hate make-up and never wore it but now she did wear it, nothing over the top: just pale natural colours. She used to hate shopping but now loved it although not as much as Bra or Marron did.
~That reminds me. I'm going to be seeing them tonight and all the other girls too. I wonder what Bulma looks like~
For nine whole years, her family was kept to itself and only six months ago did she return. In those six months she set up her dojo and met Atzirk. Nobody knew that she and her parents had returned until she and her family gave her Grandma and Grandpa a surprise visit when she was engaged. They would have gone sooner if it wasn't for all the hassle with the house they used to live in. She was surprised to see Goten as he looked exactly the same as before only taller. Her grandparents had given them the numbers of everyone and from there they called everyone to tell them about the wedding. Pan would be seeing her two old best friends, Bulma and 18 for the first time in nine years. And then tomorrow she would be seeing Vegeta, Krillen and Yamcha with his wife and twin kids. (AN: I don't now if Yamcha or Krillen are alive after Super 17 and Li Shenron appeared but in this they are alive, well and old)
She then heard a knock on the door. She grabbed her black bag, flew down the stairs to avoid tripping up and opened the door. Her mother was there and they both drove off towards Slush's.
Trunks was dead tired so decided to retire to bed early at only 8:00. His mother and sister had left an hour ago and by now the party was underway. He thought about Pan for one last time and fell asleep muttering only four words: I Love You Pan.

1 But She Was Happy………………….Chapter 4
Pan woke to a blinding headache. It was like a migraine but worse. However, her head had held. That was when she noticed that Atzirk's arm was around her.

She hung up on the phone quickly telling her Mum that someone was at the door when really she was losing control of her emotions.

~I'm getting better at letting her go~ he noted.
"You can hide it from me for now, Trunks, but you can't hide it forever; whatever it is."
"What if I do want to hide it?" Trunks retaliated.
"You need to face your problems, boy. Keeping them inside didn't help me one bit. How on Earth did you think I got your mother as my mate?"
"I said I wanted to hide it, okay?" Trunks yelled as he got up off the floor and wiped his brow with a towel.

"Look, I am only trying to help. But if you are in a pickle, you can talk to me."
"Who says I am in a pickle?" Trunks replied looking away to the floor, lowering his voice.
Bulma then knew that he was lying.
"Look," she began, "you just pay attention to what I said. I'm not implying anything but you need to listen to me if you want things to work out. Have a good time at Krystal's and remember that if you need me, just find me."
"Thanks, mum. You're the best."
"Remember that!" she said as Trunks left and closed the door.
He flew all the way taking only half a minute. He had bought her a card saying 'Get Well Soon' and also some flowers; her favourites: roses. He wondered if she was coming to the wedding but he secretly hoped that she wouldn't.
He got out his keys and opened the door, calling her. She eventually called back in a croak voice. He went into the lounge to see his girlfriend lying on the sofa, a box of tissues by her side.
"Looks like someone has a very bad cold," he cooed.
"Very funny, Trunks." She moved her legs so that he could sit down, but before he did, he gave her a kiss on the forehead, her card and her roses. She thanked him and he sat down. Trunks felt sorry for her as him being half-saiyan, he never got ill. However, he could feel ache in his heart so he ignored it, easily.

"Oh yeah?" he replied.
"Yep! I wish I could have gone to the hen night tonight," she said miserably.
"Why?"
"Because I bought the most amazing dress to wear and was looking forward to meeting Pan as you say that she is an excellent person."
"Oh."
"Is something wrong Trunks?" she asked.
"No, not at all. Just happy to see you that's all!" he said.
"Here, have a sweet."
They were his favourites; in fact, he hadn't even told her that they were.
"Who told you that they were my favourites?"
"Bra," she replied and then sneezing.
"Oh, you poor thing. I wish there was something I could do to help," he said putting his arm around her.
Krystal thought about it for a minute and then remembered.
"You can give me a massage. My neck is killing me and you are good at them."
"Let me guess who told you that…Bra?"
She nodded.
"What else did she tell you?"
"Only that you make the best milkshakes in the world, once blew up your kitchen and that you have a serious crush on your friend Pan."
Trunks suddenly looked away from what he was staring at and made eye contact with her. His heart began to beat very fast and he could feel himself getting hot.
~How on Earth? She knows! She…she can't! Bra couldn't know about it so how does she?~
Trunks was struck out of his thoughts by Krystal calling his name and by tapping him on the face.
"Trunks? What's wrong? You're all tensed up," she said stroking his face.
~That's weird. She didn't have a go at me. I must have been imagining it~
"Trunks!"
"What?!" he asked, his voice rising.
"Are you alright? You sort of blanked out and tensed up," she replied somewhat scared. She reached up to feel his head, "Blimey! You're boiling hot!"
"I'm…I'm s…sorry Krystal," he stammered. ~What the hell is happening to me?~
"You look rough Trunks. You should get more sleep, Twunks," she said comforting him while messing up his hair.
"Oi!" he retaliated sorting out his hair.
She pulled him into a deep kiss. It lasted at least a minute before Trunks broke it.
"I have to go now."
"Why?" she asked looking upset, "I was hoping you would stay the night and you said that you weren't busy."
"My Mum told me that I had to sort out the lab. We had a bit of an accident with the chemicals before I came over. I need to clean it," he lied.
"Tomorrow then."
"After the wedding?"
"Yeah. Maybe, I'll catch the bouquet of flowers…" she giggled.
"Yeah." He leant over and gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. She had been dropping hints of engagement for a while now and Trunks was going to ask her soon, but now a new feeling in his heart seemed to stop him, even though he had planned to buy the ring by the end of the week and surprise her on her birthday that was in five days time. He cursed himself as he thought this. He was supposed to be letting Pan go and forgetting his love for her, not trying to forget about his life with Krystal and going with Pan. He kicked the lamp post that he passed as he walked down the street. It bent in half and he flew away.
When he got home, Bra and his mother were already ready to go. He said goodbye and then rushed to the gravity room. Vegeta was in there and when Trunks walked in he said: "Don't say a word."
His ki was raging and he needed to lose some sweat. Vegeta smirked and went about practising his meditating. Neither said a word to each other until Vegeta heard his stomach rumbling.
"So what's got you all humped up?"
"Well, Mum said you knew."
"I see that your mother had a word with you then: you mate has left you."
"No!" Trunks said angrily.
"Then what is it…in love with someone else?" he asked, smirking.
Trunks sort of lost control in his head and directed a punch in the side of Vegeta's head. He didn't expect it, so went crashing to the floor opposite. Trunks was in super saiyan level two and had a menacing look in his eyes. Nevertheless, his father got the best of him and in the blink of an eye had Trunks pinned to the floor, himself also in super saiyan level two.
"Trunks…"
"Dad, I'm sorry," Trunks said looking slightly scared and returning to normal state.
Vegeta saw the pain and anger in his eyes, which he knew were the best places to look for emotion. Then he too returned to normal state and helped him up.
"What is wrong with you? You have been acting weird lately."
"Nothing."
"What has your mate done, or what have you done?"
"Nothing Dad!" said Trunks, looking at him.
"I don't believe you."
"Oh!" Trunks thought for a moment. Then, "Dad, I love someone else. Okay?"
"You should have told me in the first place instead of resorting to anger, that is weak. I don't make promises, but I won't tell your mother." Vegeta said.
"Thanks, Dad." And with that, he left the room, trying to let Pan go every step of the way. He did: letting her go was much, much easier than he thought at first.
Pan looked at herself in the mirror. She wore purple dress that shimmered in the light. It was low cut and tied at the back of her neck. She hardly ever wore any of these type of clothes because she was a class A tomboy. Well, she once was a huge tomboy, loved fighting and being with the fighters. But now she was more like a woman. She did wear normal clothes instead of chains in her belt, but her bandanna stayed always. But tonight, her bandanna was put away and she had her long black hair up. It was fresh from being washed and dried quickly and she used her best clip to put it up. Before she used to hate make-up and never wore it but now she did wear it, nothing over the top: just pale natural colours. She used to hate shopping but now loved it although not as much as Bra or Marron did.
~That reminds me. I'm going to be seeing them tonight and all the other girls too. I wonder what Bulma looks like~
For nine whole years, her family was kept to itself and only six months ago did she return. In those six months she set up her dojo and met Atzirk. Nobody knew that she and her parents had returned until she and her family gave her Grandma and Grandpa a surprise visit when she was engaged. They would have gone sooner if it wasn't for all the hassle with the house they used to live in. She was surprised to see Goten as he looked exactly the same as before only taller. Her grandparents had given them the numbers of everyone and from there they called everyone to tell them about the wedding. Pan would be seeing her two old best friends, Bulma and 18 for the first time in nine years. And then tomorrow she would be seeing Vegeta, Krillen and Yamcha with his wife and twin kids. (AN: I don't now if Yamcha or Krillen are alive after Super 17 and Li Shenron appeared but in this they are alive, well and old)
She then heard a knock on the door. She grabbed her black bag, flew down the stairs to avoid tripping up and opened the door. Her mother was there and they both drove off towards Slush's.
Trunks was dead tired so decided to retire to bed early at only 8:00. His mother and sister had left an hour ago and by now the party was underway. He thought about Pan for one last time and fell asleep muttering only four words: I Love You Pan.
