Thanks for all of your reviews!

I don't own Dragonball Z sadly…



But She Was Happy………………………chapter 9

When Vegeta returned to Bulma to say that he couldn't find them, Bulma believed his every word as his eyes always told the truth. She rang up Videl to tell her. Gohan landed in the Capsule Corp. lawn at around 10 o'clock. He rushed in to find Vegeta watching TV. He said hi to Bra who was walking up and down behind the sofa. Vegeta got up and Gohan followed him into the kitchen where they talked.

"Did you find them? Did you talk to Trunks?" asked Gohan.

"No. they were close because I felt his ki, but I couldn't find them."

"What do we do now, wait?"

"Exactly."

"Remember when you trained Pan?" asked Gohan.

The memory came back to Vegeta. He had forgotten. As soon as Pan had learnt how to fly and make ki blasts, she was only four years of age. Videl had come to show Bulma what Pan could do and Vegeta had spotted her. From then on, he trained her and sometimes his son would join them both. He also remembered them trying to make Bra join in, but she wouldn't have it. But Vegeta was proud of his daughter now because as soon as Goku had left with Shenron, Bra had trained daily and now she was quite close to the saiyan transformation. Vegeta couldn't wait to see how Pan had progressed, although he wasn't that close to the Son family.

"Yes," he lied.

However, neither of them saw or heard the person who was eavesdropping on them.

"She's quite strong now. Nearly Super Saiyan, nearly."

"If I couldn't sense their ki, Pan must be with Trunks as he knows that I rely on air vibrations. I couldn't feel hardly any, so they must be together in hiding. That proves that they didn't have an argument."

"But what if," began Gohan, "what if they did have an argument, but Trunks is doing what she wants, not to be found. So when you came along, he played that part of the deal."

"I told you before, because of the saiyans of their own age, they have formed small bonds between them. Just look at Bra and Goten. I bet 99% chance that they would have confessed their feelings, and 1% chance that they are mortal enemies."

"But what if…"

"Ugh!!! I can't stand people who find other possibilities!" huffed Vegeta and stalked out of the room to watch his favourite program (I have no idea ^_~)

"Geez, personality problem," said Gohan before going to find Bulma.



Trunks and Pan waited and waited. Pan's stomach was still rumbling and Trunks had to put up with all her moaning.

"If I had known that you were this annoying, I wouldn't have told you I loved you," Trunk said laughing.

Pan giggled, "It's not my fault I complain. Anyway, I wouldn't say that you wouldn't have told me; you wouldn't know what you're missing."

"Oh, and what would I miss?"

Pan moved towards him and took his hands into hers. They stared into each other's eyes. She moved towards him, and she felt his breath against her neck. She brushed her lips against his.

"This," she whispered.

She then kissed him gently and he deepened the kiss, running his hands through her hair. He moved to her neck where he kissed over the mark he had made on her neck during their night of passion. She moaned slightly and then noticed the ki of her Uncle Goten.

"What's wrong?" asked Trunks as he continued trailing kisses along her neck.

"There's a lot of activity going on out there."

Trunks stopped and turned her face to face him.

"Hey, stop worrying. Everything is going to be okay.

"I hope so."



Time passed quite quickly and by eleven, nearly everyone was at the Capsule Corporation building. Chi-Chi, Bulma, Videl and 18 were talking in the kitchen.

"Videl," said Bulma, "it's not going to happen, is it?"

"I know…"

"Don't act like that Videl," said 18, "this wedding was Pan's, not yours."

"Yeah. I have been a bit selfish to her, but she should have told me."

"I agree," said Chi-Chi.

"Well, Vegeta said that we'll just have to wait for her to come back along with Trunks. The are probably waiting until it is after twelve," said Bulma.

"Hmm," they said.

All of them were in normal house clothes, and it looked like none of them were to wear the clothes for the wedding. Vegeta was still watching TV as Bulma had locked the gravity chamber and Gohan, Goten, Krillen, Yamcha and Puar had joined him and later, Hercule did as well. Bra and Marron had retired to Bra's bedroom to talk about the situation. Videl had been busy for most of the morning calling everyone to tell them the situation and to get ready just in case she came back. But in the last half-hour, she had rung them all again to tell them that it was off. Atzirk and his side of the family had done the rest of the calling after Videl rung them up to tell them that there wasn't any sight of Pan at 10:30. They had all stayed at Atzirk and Pan's house. Krystal was there as well and her cold had gone, but Trunks' absence and the absence of his friend Pan surprised her. she had a thought in her head, and it lingered there.

At around half past eleven, Sasha came and she talked to Bra and Marron about the situation. They all sat down on the floor of Bra's room

"So, why do you think she ran away?" asked Sasha.

"To not get married, der," said Bra sarcastically.

"No, Bra. Why do you think she doesn't want to get married?" asked Marron.

"Well, I personally think that she is a: scared, b: it all went to fast, c: she's been having an affair or d: she loves someone else."

"You really think that?" asked Marron.

"I don't know, I was suggesting. But what strikes me is that my brother went after her and never returned."

"Bra," said Sasha, "you told me earlier that they used to be great friends, Trunks and Pan. Maybe he was being friend again with her and trying to

get her to come back and face her problems."

"But, why didn't he come back?"

"I don't know," said Sasha.

"You don't think…" began Bra.

"What? You honestly think that…you know…something happened between them?" asked Marron shocked.

"Trunks has been acting strange lately. Since he came from the time when Pan told him about the wedding, he kept going to bed early and not

training with Dad," said Bra.

"But he has a girlfriend, doesn't he?" asked Marron.

"I don't know about your suggestion, Bra," said Sasha.

Just then, there was a knock at the door and Goten came in.

"What are you girls talking about?" he asked. He knelt down and kissed Bra on the forehead.

"Let's ask his best friend then."

"Ask me what?"

"Goten?" asked Bra, sitting in his lap as he sat down.

"What?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Does Trunks ever talk to you about his personal life?" asked Bra.

"Sometimes, but it is between him and me."

"Oh come on Goten," said Marron, "tell us what he tells you!"

"By the way, I'm Sasha, Pan's friend. Just answer this question…"

Bra finished the question for her:

"Does Trunks have a thing for Pan?"

Goten nearly swallowed his tongue.

"Bra, where did you get a thing like that?!"

"We sort of guessed," said Sasha.

"Well, is it true?" asked Marron.

The girls put on puppy-dog-eyes.

"No, no!" cried Goten, "I'm not telling anyone at all about his personal life."

"Please!" said Sasha and Marron.

Goten turned his nose up.

"Goten," said Bra, twirling her finger on his chest. He blushed as he turned to her. She kissed him with strength and passion and grazed his lips with her teeth, "what about if I say that you'll get laid by me tonight?"

Sasha and Marron burst into fits of laughter.

"What?" asked Bra.

"We are just laughing at what you'll do for gossip!" laughed Marron.

"I'm doing it so I can help Pan, and for that as well, but most of all because I love Goten." She blushed.

Goten's mind was buzzing. He wanted her bad, so he would have to tell them.

"Okay, I'll start from the beginning. After the Grand tour was finished and Dad went with Shenron to the other world, Trunks came up to me with a problem…he said that he had a crush on nine year old Pan. I said that I thought that they were best of friends, but he said that they were still, but he had formed a deep attraction to her. When she moved away, I could see that Trunks was heartbroken, not only because he fancied her really badly, but because they had been best of friends. He had let his attraction go for a while before she had left, but when she did leave, he didn't have a friend or an attraction anymore.

During the nine years, he let it go, although I could see that he still held that in his heart. He met with Krystal and two weeks before Pan called him, he had told me that he was going to propose to her. I haven't talked to him since, but I heard my brother and Vegeta talking earlier in the kitchen about the search for them and how they must be together somewhere and have probably confessed their feelings along with talking about saiyan bonds. I think Pan had the hots for Trunks before she left as well and has felt them again, even though she was getting married." Goten finished.

The three girls looked at Goten in disbelief. It all slotted together in their brain.

"Oh my Kami! I never knew that my baka of a brother and Pan would have formed a deep attraction like that!" gasped Bra.

"Maybe that's why she ran away," said Marron, "because she loved Trunks, not her fiancée! I thought that she was acting a bit weird at the hen

night, but I didn't ask her."

"Also, what Goten says explains why Trunks was acting weird, he was trying to get her out of his head!" said Sasha.

"Trunks must have flown out last night to see where she was going and they didn't return," said Bra.

"Those two people that you were listening onto downstairs must know as well," said Sasha.

"Yeah, my brother and Bra's dad," said Bra.

"So," said Marron, "how do you think they stayed the night?"

"Well," began Bra, "however they did, I think it's along the same lines as what I'm up to with Goten tonight…"

They all snickered.

"Who actually likes Krystal?" asked Bra.

"Haven't met her," said Sasha.

"I don't like her," said Marron.

"Neither do I," said Goten

"Ditto," said Bra.

"I wish Ubb would hurry and get here," said Marron.

"Why?" asked Bra.

"I didn't tell you this guys, I didn't even get the chance last night, but I've been going out with Ubb for a year now." (AN: I don't know how old Ubb is, but in this he is around 24)

"What? You didn't even tell me?" shrieked Bra.

"Not even my parents know."

"I think that you and you and Pan are all alike," said Sasha.

"I can't wait for Trunks to get here, because we are going to confront him along with my Dad and Gohan about this whole situation…"



Pan sighed a huge sigh of relief when Trunks' watch bleeped twelve o'clock. He hugged her tightly and kissed her hair.

"It's over," he whispered.

"Not exactly," said Pan, "we still have to tell everyone and with your sister there, it's going to be tough."

He groaned.

"Trunks?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you go to Capsule Corp. and get them ready?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" said Trunks confused.

"Go to Capsule Corp. and tell my Mum and Dad and your parents to get into one of the rooms on their own, no one else, and then I'll come and tell them first, even though at least two of them know already. That way, our parents will know first and then I want to go and tell Atzirk while you can tell Krystal, then we'll tell everyone else."

"Good idea," he said.

He got up, stretched, and then turned to Pan.

"Pan, I'll be at the top floor at the south window. Meet us there. I'll try to not let anything slip. I love you." he kissed her on the forehead before flying out of the cave through the waterfall, and he was gone.



All of the humans and the saiyans who could sense ki perked up their heads at the ki of the flying Trunks. Vegeta was in the kitchen with his mate and the rest of the women when he looked out of the window.

"Vegeta, what's wrong?" asked Videl.

"The brat is on his way."

"Trunks?" asked Bulma.

He nodded.

"Is Pan with him?" asked Videl, hopefully.

"No."

"But at least we'll be able to get some answers from him," said 18.

Vegeta walked into the room where the rest of them were waiting. Gohan looked at him and the rest of the room was in a frenzy of whispers. Upstairs, Bra, Marron, Sasha and Goten were looking out of the window. They couldn't wait for Trunks to get there because their plan was interrogation…



Another cliffhanger, well, that means that the next chapter is when they all find out and more.

School is as boring as ever, especially the run up to exams. We have to wear school uniform in the UK, and it's not fair. All of the boys who muck about fill up balloons with water and then chase us. I got hit today on the back and it was freezing cold! But the teacher saw him and now he's suspended! Ha ha!

Somebody asked me in the reviews whether I write me ideas down first. Well, when I got this idea, I wrote the idea down and I had the rest of the story in my head. If I get a sudden brainstorm, I'll write it down. With my other fic, I write the basic summary of each chapter down so that I remember.

Please review?

See you in about a week!
