Trunks stared in a daze at the hotel wall until Goten almost punched him in the stomach. Trunks snapped out of it and a look of pure hatred appeared in his blue eyes. Goten involuntarily stepped back against the wall and almost felt scared of his friend. HE had never seen him like this before. Trunks stood up and started pacing around the room.
"Goten, what do you think I should do first? Torture her by pretending then stab her in the back or just kill her tonight?" Trunks said when he stopped to get a drink.
Goten thought for a moment and replied," I think you should toy with her first. After what she did too you, you should do the same back."
"Great answer. Revenge will be sweet." said Trunks with a queer gleam in his eyes as he punched his hand with malice.
"Goten, who's the girl you have to kill, again? Well, whoever it is, we are going to have a double date tonight and we are gonna have fun." Trunks rubbed his hands together with anticipation. Goten smiled nervously and quickly stepped out of the room.
With Goten gone, Trunks truly let out his feelings. His heart had broken. Trunks had thought Pan was the one he would settle down with, but she turned out to be the one who had to kill him and he her. HE wasn't sure whether to cry out in pain or kill her right then and there.
'How am I going to face her later at the date? I am going to have to act with coldness. She'll never find out. I think this revenge thing is right' thought Trunks sadly and uncertainly.
HE picked up his wallet and looked at it with a pen/microscope. HE found fingerprints there. HE grimaced at the sight. IT could be Pan's and it could not be so he scanned it through his computer.
'Please don't let Pan have gone through my stuff!' he thought earnestly.
Unfortunately they were Pan's fingerprints and he found several others in the room. IT wasn't fair, why did he have to kill the woman he loved?! Two little voices in his brain were yelling two different things and he didn't know which to go along with. One was yelling for him to kill her and enjoy it like the old days. She was just a girl. The other retaliated and said she was the girl of his dreams and maybe she would tell him. HE did love her and she probably would return those feelings. The voices argued on and on and on. They never stopped throughout the whole day. IT never ended from when he had seen the picture till when he was knocking on Pan's door with Goten for their dates.
"We'll be right out!" Pan yelled at the door as she started fixing the last of her makeup. In quieter voices the girls began to talk so the boys couldn't hear.
"Pan, do you know where the guys are taking us?"
"I think they are taking us to a dinner and a movie. They will probably separate us to try and romance each other by their selves."
"Cool. HOW long should we keep up this act?"
"I don't know, I am thinking about pretending to do the mission. I really think he's the one."
"Pan, you can't be serious! You can't forsake the Legends! They'll kick you out and then kill you so you can't tell anyone about us. Its totally insane!"
"well, Bra I am. He's so perfect and he treats me like a human being. HE doesn't treat me like another mindless drone he's met like the bosses treat us. Strange times call for desperate measures. IF you hit it off with Goten, we could do it together and run away from the Legends."
"I don't know, Pan. We can talk about it later after the date."
Bra faked a smile and opened the door to find Goten's hand about to hit her. She stepped back just in time and he blushed. HE murmured something about going to knock on the door and her being beautiful, but she couldn't make out what he was saying. Trunks quickly put his arm around Pan and led them to the car with a usual smile on his face.
The dinner went well except for the incident when Goten tripped on a waiter's foot and caused the waiter to fall and knock over an empty table. When they arrived at the movies, they came to early, so they had to wait there for a while. Just like Pan foretold the boys immediately separated in the theater and sat at the exact opposite ends of the theater.
Trunks and Goten had decided not to kill them till about one more date. They had the time since an agent never came back till the mission is done and over with. They could take as long as the wanted.
Goten started romancing Bra as hard as he could, but like trunks he too had fallen for the enemy agent. HE couldn't pay attention to what he was saying so he babbled on all sorts of things. Bra laughed and enjoyed his blubbering immensely. The best way to kill an agent was to lure him into your trap then strike slowly and always with a smile. Goten babbled on and on till the movie started. IT was a horror movie so he put his arm around Bra rather nervously. Fortunately for his ego she didn't flinch or back away. She let him do so without a word or comment, just a smile. Goten blushed beet red. HE thanked any god there was that the theater was dark.
Trunks made conversation with her about the last movie they saw. Pan took full interest in it, she made several comments on how fake the spies, and their devices seemed. Trunks almost blew her cover when he asked how come she knew so much about this kind of subject. She replied rather too quickly by saying that she dabbled in technology and knew about gadgetry. Trunks laughed and teased her a bit about her learning's. When the movie started he too put his arm around her. She settled into his arms with a sigh of pleasure.
During several times in the movie the couples furtively glanced at each other looking away instantly when the other looked at them. Each person had different thoughts. Some bad and some good, lets look at their thoughts.

Trunks thoughts:
~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~ ~***********~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~***
She doesn't look evil at all. She looks kind and beautiful. She can't be an enemy secret agent, or can she? Maybe she won't kill me, maybe she'll forsake her side, and then we could run away. OH, she is so beautiful, I wish I could be with her. I think this revenge thing is right… Why do I have to be a Dragoon and her a Legend? Kill me now or let me somehow be with her!
~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~*********~~ ~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~*
Pan's thoughts:
*********~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~ ~~**********~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~
HE is such a handsome man. He's kind and not a total jerk like all the other guys I have met. I will really want to be with him for the rest of my life. He's just so perfect for me and that look in his eye says emotion. I will forsake the Legends, run away, and be with him forever. I have no doubt about this. I will be with him, I don't care about the consequences …
***********~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~********* ****~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********
Goten's thoughts:
~~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~**** ******~~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~******
Maybe I shouldn't do this whole revenge thing. I haven't spent a whole day with her yet and I still have fallen for her. Her blue hair, her smile, her twinkling eyes, her quaint laugh, and her personality are the most perfect thing in the world. I think I am going to tell Trunks that I am giving up being a secret agent, but I am keeping the gadgets of course. I wonder what it would be like running away between two feuding companies… Why am I using the word quaint? Hmmm… Oh! Trunks is back with the popcorn!
***~~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~** ********~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~~**
Bra's thoughts:
******~~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~ ~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~
Goten is such a cute guy and he is so nice too. Maybe I should do what Pan said and run away and be free. It's not even been four hours yet and I think I am in love with Goten. He's so nice and he's funny. I wish I was braver, so I could really do what Pan said. It would be so hard to run away with two feuding secret agent companies on your back. Even with love, it would be hard. Oh, I just don't know what to do….
~~************~~~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~
After the movie they went back to the hotel and said their goodnights. Pan and Trunks kissed, but barely for a second and Goten ducked into the room before Bra could say or do a single thing. Bra blushed and just went back to Pan's room. Trunks laughter rang in the halls. Pan's laughter soon joined with his and together made a merry note.
"I can't believe those two. IT is so obvious they like each other." Pan said with a mocking tone.
"Yup. You are so right. Well, goodnight then." Trunks said as he went into his room and flashed a smile before he shut the door.
"Goodnight, Trunks." Pan replied as she went into her room in a trance and quietly shut the door behind her.
The four secret agents did not go to bed and to their dreams right away. They all talked in their own private conversations. Bra and Pan about love and running away. Trunks and Goten talked about if they should do it and how to do it if they did. HOW confusing huh?

Bra's and Pan's girl talk
******~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~ ~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~
"What should we do, Pan?
"I say we do it. Do you like Goten?"
"Yeah, a lot."
"I knew it. You were looking at him in the lovesick way."
"Really?"
"Yup. Lets tell them tomorrow at the next date. K?"
"Awesome!"
"This is great! C'mon lets go to bed now."
"Okay."
"Night. I'll wake you up at ten ok?"
"Sure. Night."
~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~*************~~~~~~~~~~*** ********~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~***
Trunks and Goten's not so happy talk:
*******~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~********~~~~~~*********~~~~ ~~~~********~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~*******
Before Goten had left Bra standing in front of the door. He had bugged her and he heard the entire conversation. It made him very unhappy to find that Bra would kill him even though she liked him and Pan was doing the same to Trunks. What if Trunks didn't believe him?
"Trunks, do you mind stopping that pacing? I have something to tell you."
"I have something to tell you too and I'll stop. You go first."
"Ok then. Well, I bugged Bra, just in case they were going to say something vital."
"Well, did the say anything?"
"Yeah, they talked about you and me."
"They were talking about how to kill us right?"
"I am not sure. I should have bugged Bra earlier because they were consenting to do something.
"I think it was about killing us. When did they say?"
"Tomorrow on our not planned date. Should we still ask them?"
" Yes. We'll be prepared for them by being ready to exterminate them ourselves. It is great."
"Are you really sure we should do this?"
"Of course! What are you chickening out?"
"No, I just have a awful sense about the whole thing."
"Sure you do. Now lets prepare. What do you think we should take?"
"I don't know. The usual I guess."
"Ok. I'll pack and I'll wake you up at 11 tomorrow, ok?"
"Sure. I am heading to bed. Night."
"Ok, go ahead. Night."

~*The next morning*~
~~~~~********~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~* ********~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~*******
Pan awoke in a sweat. She almost screamed in terror. In her dreams she had been assaulted by visions of what could happen to Trunks and her if they ran away. Agents from both sides were trailing them wherever they went. From place to place they traveled, living only on their wits. Finally they were backed into an alley and before her eyes Trunks was hacked down by Bra who had betrayed her. Then they advanced on her… She woke up just in time to not find out the ending of the nightmare. She was glad she didn't. She shuddered at the thought of that really happening.
She checked the clock and saw it was ten. She woke Bra up and told her about the dream. Bra just stared at her and told her she had the dream too except it was reversed. They thought for a moment and dismissed the whole thing as nervousness. Pan then dressed and Bra did after her. They walked out and got some donuts for their breakfast and the boys. IT was 10:30.
"The boys won't be awake yet, so how about we get them something to drink." Bra asked absentmindedly.
"Okay." Said Pan quickly.
They got some drinks for all four of them. They went over and knocked on the boys' door. Goten opened the door and brightened immediately at the sight of Bra. Pan rushed in and handed the food all around. Fortunately she didn't notice Trunks sniffing his food for poison. HE judged it worthy and began eating it ravenously. At that signal Goten to started eating. When everyone finished Trunks spoke up.
"Pan, Bra if you guys are still up for a date with us, do you want to stay in at the hotel and watch movies?" Trunks asked with a fake nervous look plastered on his face. IT fooled the girls, so they quickly consented.
Trunks rubbed his hands together with a mischievous look all over his face. Bra saw it, but she thought that he was planning something romantic, so she didn't comment. IT was lucky for him, she didn't, or else his cover would have been blown. HE had everything planned out and he was purely enjoying it.
There was a nagging voice at the back of Trunks' mind telling him what he was doing was wrong. HE pushed it farther back and ignored it. HE had gone from uncertainty about the whole Pan going to kill him to perfect unwavering belief that she was pure evil in a beauty's form.
She's the most beautiful woman on earth and you know it.
Leave me alone; she has turned into a pure evil wretch.
You won't believe that in the end.
Whatever. *
Goten watched Trunks for a moment. IT seemed there was a battle of thoughts going on in Trunks brain. Maybe there was a chance after all that they could be together. HE hoped with all his heart it could be so. Goten glanced back at Trunks and noticed he was once again the calm and assure person that he normally was. The battle had passed and Goten did not know who won. HE sighed and said goodbye to the girls as the left the room.
Goten looked at Trunks and once again sighed. His goodbye to Pan had been formal and cold. Trunks acted as if, this was the first time he had met her all his life. There might not be a chance even if good came through. Trunks was too stubborn and stuck to something when he finally consented to it. It was hopeless!
**~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~*** *******~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~*******
Later that day ~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~ ~*********~~~~~~********~~~~~~*********~~
Bra and Pan quickly dressed themselves since they were almost late for their movie date with Goten and Trunks. They adjusted each other's hair and walked across the hall to their rooms. They knocked on the door.
A few moments before Bra and Pan knocked on the door, Trunks and Goten were rushing around the room. They had split the pile of videos between the two rooms. Trunks had somehow got the key to the empty room next door that was connected to this room. Goten didn't ask how because he didn't want to know. Goten neatened the room a bit, just enough to make it seem like they weren't pigs, but still guys. Trunks lit some candles and turned off the lights. Goten smiled. Trunks rubbed his hand tomorrow and gave Goten a thumb up sign. Goten returned the sign and he chuckled uneasily.
"Goten, do you think that this looks romantic enough?"
" Yeah. It's great."
"Good. I want the girls to have a grisly death and yet be surrounded by all this mushy stuff that they like so much."
"Trunks, don't you think that is a little cruel?"
"No, not at all."
"Ok then. I'll open the door."
Goten walked over to the door and opened it. HE flashed a goofy smile at both of them and welcomed them in. The girls walked in and surveyed the surroundings with surprise. It was actually tidy!
"Are we all going to watch movies in this room? I was just asking since there is only one couch and only two people can fit on it?" Pan asked.
"No. One of the hotel staff let me use an vacant room as long as we don't clutter it up." Trunks explained like he had rehearsed it.
"Oh. What are we gonna eat?" Bra inquired.
"We are having pizza and pop. Are you two fine with that?" Goten asked pointing two the boxes on a table and the pop bottles.
Pan and Bra both nodded, and sat on the couch. Trunks passed the pizza and pop around and everyone began eating. Pan ate only one slice and then she started flipping though the channels on TV. Bra also only ate only one slice and watched TV with Pan. The boys sat on the bed and started whispering while wolfing down 5 pieces of pizza each. The girls didn't notice at all though, hey were immersed in watching TV.
The boys were talking about the girls. Goten was protesting against the revenge thing. He kept on saying that he liked Bra and couldn't raise a finger to hurt her. Trunks called him a lousy fool that would never learn anything. Trunks told him he didn't understand, any Legend was an evil seductive wretch that would kill them if they didn't move first. Goten argued that Bra had said that she liked him. Trunks said that they obviously knew they were bugged and they were faking the conversation. The quarrel continued for several minutes till both men rose and tried to calm themselves.
Trunks faced his facial expressions to return to a happy state. In side him it was chaos. HE didn't know what to do for sure. One voice stronger than the other was yelling at him to finish his mission. The softer voice was gently pointing out that he loved her with all his heart. He decided to push both voices back into the depths of his mind and went with his instincts. His instincts were a spy's instincts so he still decided to kill Pan and he knew now that he would enjoy her last scream.
Goten escorted Bra to the next room and they sat on the couch. HE pulled one of the DVDs from the pile and looked at Bra for approval. She nodded and didn't say a word. HE inserted the DVD and the movie began to play. HE nervously put his arm around her and to his delight she didn't protest. She paid attention to the movie. HE checked around the couch for the weapon compartments. They were all there; he frowned and wished the weapons were lost. Now he would have no excuse for not killing the blue- haired beauty.
Trunks and Pan started watching The Matrix and then Trunks started to cough uncontrollably. Pan turned around and stared at him with a scared and worried look on her face. Trunks started gesturing, but Pan couldn't understand. Trunks was totally faking, he had learned how to do it in his espionage training classes. Pan had totally fallen for it.
Trunks began to calm his coughing down enough so that he could talk at intervals. Pan's face brightened a tiny bit.
"Trunks, are you going to be okay?" Pan asked with great concern in her voice.
"I think so. ~*Cough, cough*~ I just need a special drink. ~*Cough cough*~ Its in the cabinet in the bathroom." Trunks replied with a look of pure pain on his handsome features.
"Ok. I'll go get it for you. Oh, it must hurt so much." Pan said as she rushed into the bathroom and searched the cabinets.
While she was gone, Trunks smiled evilly and made sure she was in the bathroom before he made the coughing die down just a little more. HE began feeling around the couch till he felt a particular compartment. HE found it and searched in it for a small bottle of poison. HE found her pop and poured one drop in. HE just wanted her to feel pain not faint.
Goten and Bra just watched the movie and then Goten brought his hand up and sprayed her in the face with some dazing gas. She fell into his arms immediately. That wasn't part of the plan, but hey a guy wanted some fun. She snapped out of the daze and just settled into Goten's arms with a contented sigh. She felt safe and yet she had the lurking sense that something was wrong.
Goten totally forgot about the whole having to kill her thing, so he just had fun with Bra.
Pan came rushing out of the restroom with a bottle labeled COUGHING DRINK. Trunks nodded and took the bottle. HE swallowed the stuff, which was really a strengthening tonic. HE flashed a stunning smile just before he pressed a button. Pan was instantly restrained to the couch. She instinctively refrained from making a single sound.
HE smiled and began talking in his normal voice while keeping a dazzling smile on his face. His eye had a twinkle. HE flicked back his hair and then kissed her. Pan was surprised and taken back.
"What is wrong, Trunks?" Pan asked with fear creeping into her voice. What if he's a psycho?
"I'll tell you what's wrong Ms. I am a Legend and I am gonna kill my boyfriend. You betrayed me, you wretch. I am a Dragoon, your mortal enemy, I was sent to kill you and with my new knowledge I will kill you with pleasure. I might have spared you, but you didn't tell me." Trunks said in a breath.
Pan first burned through the steel clasps with a laser/lipstick she always carried. She stared at Trunks for a long time till he began talking again.
"Now I will kill you slowly and Painfully, Pan Son. Enjoy your last moments. I thought I loved you, but it was an illusion set up by you. Listen to me, this I say now to your face, I HATE YOU!!!" Trunks said with great anger in his voice.
Pan's face showed so much hurt that Trunk almost faltered. She broke out in tears and then she saw Bra and Goten standing at the door staring at them. She knew Goten had known all along. She gestured to Bra and opened the door. Bra walked out and gave death glares to Trunks. Before she left she opened her mouth to speak.
"Trunks, I was going to tell you tonight. I wanted to run away with you, but I guess you are not the one. I loved you Trunks." Pan yelled as she ran down the hall and disappeared with Bra trailing behind her.
Trunks gasped and just stared for a few moments. She may have just left him forever. Goten gave him an angry glare and stalked off trying to follow Bra. Trunks watched him go. Maybe Goten was gone forever too. HE just didn't know.
Goten's parting remark was, "I guess revenge wasn't so sweet for you, huh trunks?"
~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~********** *~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~********
Well what do you think is going to happen now? IS Pan really going away forever? IS Bra too? What about Goten? Will Trunks just be left alone to live out the rest of his life like that? Well to find out you are going to have to wait for me to finish. MUHAHAHA!! Oh, and hoped you enjoyed it.

The four secret agents did not go to bed and to their dreams right away. They all talked in their own private conversations. Bra and Pan about love and running away. Trunks and Goten talked about if they should do it and how to do it if they did. HOW confusing huh?

"What should we do, Pan?
"I say we do it. Do you like Goten?"
"Yeah, a lot."
"I knew it. You were looking at him in the lovesick way."
"Really?"
"Yup. Lets tell them tomorrow at the next date. K?"
"Awesome!"
"This is great! C'mon lets go to bed now."
"Okay."
"Night. I'll wake you up at ten ok?"
"Sure. Night."

Trunks and Goten's not so happy talk:
*******~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~********~~~~~~*********~~~~ ~~~~********~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~*******
Before Goten had left Bra standing in front of the door. He had bugged her and he heard the entire conversation. It made him very unhappy to find that Bra would kill him even though she liked him and Pan was doing the same to Trunks. What if Trunks didn't believe him?
"Trunks, do you mind stopping that pacing? I have something to tell you."
"I have something to tell you too and I'll stop. You go first."
"Ok then. Well, I bugged Bra, just in case they were going to say something vital."
"Well, did the say anything?"
"Yeah, they talked about you and me."
"They were talking about how to kill us right?"
"I am not sure. I should have bugged Bra earlier because they were consenting to do something.
"I think it was about killing us. When did they say?"
"Tomorrow on our not planned date. Should we still ask them?"
" Yes. We'll be prepared for them by being ready to exterminate them ourselves. It is great."
"Are you really sure we should do this?"
"Of course! What are you chickening out?"
"No, I just have a awful sense about the whole thing."
"Sure you do. Now lets prepare. What do you think we should take?"
"I don't know. The usual I guess."
"Ok. I'll pack and I'll wake you up at 11 tomorrow, ok?"
"Sure. I am heading to bed. Night."
"Ok, go ahead. Night."

~*The next morning*~
~~~~~********~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~* ********~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~*******
Pan awoke in a sweat. She almost screamed in terror. In her dreams she had been assaulted by visions of what could happen to Trunks and her if they ran away. Agents from both sides were trailing them wherever they went. From place to place they traveled, living only on their wits. Finally they were backed into an alley and before her eyes Trunks was hacked down by Bra who had betrayed her. Then they advanced on her… She woke up just in time to not find out the ending of the nightmare. She was glad she didn't. She shuddered at the thought of that really happening.
She checked the clock and saw it was ten. She woke Bra up and told her about the dream. Bra just stared at her and told her she had the dream too except it was reversed. They thought for a moment and dismissed the whole thing as nervousness. Pan then dressed and Bra did after her. They walked out and got some donuts for their breakfast and the boys. IT was 10:30.
"The boys won't be awake yet, so how about we get them something to drink." Bra asked absentmindedly.
"Okay." Said Pan quickly.
They got some drinks for all four of them. They went over and knocked on the boys' door. Goten opened the door and brightened immediately at the sight of Bra. Pan rushed in and handed the food all around. Fortunately she didn't notice Trunks sniffing his food for poison. HE judged it worthy and began eating it ravenously. At that signal Goten to started eating. When everyone finished Trunks spoke up.
"Pan, Bra if you guys are still up for a date with us, do you want to stay in at the hotel and watch movies?" Trunks asked with a fake nervous look plastered on his face. IT fooled the girls, so they quickly consented.
Trunks rubbed his hands together with a mischievous look all over his face. Bra saw it, but she thought that he was planning something romantic, so she didn't comment. IT was lucky for him, she didn't, or else his cover would have been blown. HE had everything planned out and he was purely enjoying it.
There was a nagging voice at the back of Trunks' mind telling him what he was doing was wrong. HE pushed it farther back and ignored it. HE had gone from uncertainty about the whole Pan going to kill him to perfect unwavering belief that she was pure evil in a beauty's form.
She's the most beautiful woman on earth and you know it.
Leave me alone; she has turned into a pure evil wretch.
You won't believe that in the end.
Whatever. *
Goten watched Trunks for a moment. IT seemed there was a battle of thoughts going on in Trunks brain. Maybe there was a chance after all that they could be together. HE hoped with all his heart it could be so. Goten glanced back at Trunks and noticed he was once again the calm and assure person that he normally was. The battle had passed and Goten did not know who won. HE sighed and said goodbye to the girls as the left the room.
Goten looked at Trunks and once again sighed. His goodbye to Pan had been formal and cold. Trunks acted as if, this was the first time he had met her all his life. There might not be a chance even if good came through. Trunks was too stubborn and stuck to something when he finally consented to it. It was hopeless!
**~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~*** *******~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~*******
Later that day ~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~ ~*********~~~~~~********~~~~~~*********~~
Bra and Pan quickly dressed themselves since they were almost late for their movie date with Goten and Trunks. They adjusted each other's hair and walked across the hall to their rooms. They knocked on the door.
A few moments before Bra and Pan knocked on the door, Trunks and Goten were rushing around the room. They had split the pile of videos between the two rooms. Trunks had somehow got the key to the empty room next door that was connected to this room. Goten didn't ask how because he didn't want to know. Goten neatened the room a bit, just enough to make it seem like they weren't pigs, but still guys. Trunks lit some candles and turned off the lights. Goten smiled. Trunks rubbed his hand tomorrow and gave Goten a thumb up sign. Goten returned the sign and he chuckled uneasily.
"Goten, do you think that this looks romantic enough?"
" Yeah. It's great."
"Good. I want the girls to have a grisly death and yet be surrounded by all this mushy stuff that they like so much."
"Trunks, don't you think that is a little cruel?"
"No, not at all."
"Ok then. I'll open the door."
Goten walked over to the door and opened it. HE flashed a goofy smile at both of them and welcomed them in. The girls walked in and surveyed the surroundings with surprise. It was actually tidy!
"Are we all going to watch movies in this room? I was just asking since there is only one couch and only two people can fit on it?" Pan asked.
"No. One of the hotel staff let me use an vacant room as long as we don't clutter it up." Trunks explained like he had rehearsed it.
"Oh. What are we gonna eat?" Bra inquired.
"We are having pizza and pop. Are you two fine with that?" Goten asked pointing two the boxes on a table and the pop bottles.
Pan and Bra both nodded, and sat on the couch. Trunks passed the pizza and pop around and everyone began eating. Pan ate only one slice and then she started flipping though the channels on TV. Bra also only ate only one slice and watched TV with Pan. The boys sat on the bed and started whispering while wolfing down 5 pieces of pizza each. The girls didn't notice at all though, hey were immersed in watching TV.
The boys were talking about the girls. Goten was protesting against the revenge thing. He kept on saying that he liked Bra and couldn't raise a finger to hurt her. Trunks called him a lousy fool that would never learn anything. Trunks told him he didn't understand, any Legend was an evil seductive wretch that would kill them if they didn't move first. Goten argued that Bra had said that she liked him. Trunks said that they obviously knew they were bugged and they were faking the conversation. The quarrel continued for several minutes till both men rose and tried to calm themselves.
Trunks faced his facial expressions to return to a happy state. In side him it was chaos. HE didn't know what to do for sure. One voice stronger than the other was yelling at him to finish his mission. The softer voice was gently pointing out that he loved her with all his heart. He decided to push both voices back into the depths of his mind and went with his instincts. His instincts were a spy's instincts so he still decided to kill Pan and he knew now that he would enjoy her last scream.
Goten escorted Bra to the next room and they sat on the couch. HE pulled one of the DVDs from the pile and looked at Bra for approval. She nodded and didn't say a word. HE inserted the DVD and the movie began to play. HE nervously put his arm around her and to his delight she didn't protest. She paid attention to the movie. HE checked around the couch for the weapon compartments. They were all there; he frowned and wished the weapons were lost. Now he would have no excuse for not killing the blue- haired beauty.
Trunks and Pan started watching The Matrix and then Trunks started to cough uncontrollably. Pan turned around and stared at him with a scared and worried look on her face. Trunks started gesturing, but Pan couldn't understand. Trunks was totally faking, he had learned how to do it in his espionage training classes. Pan had totally fallen for it.
Trunks began to calm his coughing down enough so that he could talk at intervals. Pan's face brightened a tiny bit.
"Trunks, are you going to be okay?" Pan asked with great concern in her voice.
"I think so. ~*Cough, cough*~ I just need a special drink. ~*Cough cough*~ Its in the cabinet in the bathroom." Trunks replied with a look of pure pain on his handsome features.
"Ok. I'll go get it for you. Oh, it must hurt so much." Pan said as she rushed into the bathroom and searched the cabinets.
While she was gone, Trunks smiled evilly and made sure she was in the bathroom before he made the coughing die down just a little more. HE began feeling around the couch till he felt a particular compartment. HE found it and searched in it for a small bottle of poison. HE found her pop and poured one drop in. HE just wanted her to feel pain not faint.
Goten and Bra just watched the movie and then Goten brought his hand up and sprayed her in the face with some dazing gas. She fell into his arms immediately. That wasn't part of the plan, but hey a guy wanted some fun. She snapped out of the daze and just settled into Goten's arms with a contented sigh. She felt safe and yet she had the lurking sense that something was wrong.
Goten totally forgot about the whole having to kill her thing, so he just had fun with Bra.
Pan came rushing out of the restroom with a bottle labeled COUGHING DRINK. Trunks nodded and took the bottle. HE swallowed the stuff, which was really a strengthening tonic. HE flashed a stunning smile just before he pressed a button. Pan was instantly restrained to the couch. She instinctively refrained from making a single sound.
HE smiled and began talking in his normal voice while keeping a dazzling smile on his face. His eye had a twinkle. HE flicked back his hair and then kissed her. Pan was surprised and taken back.
"What is wrong, Trunks?" Pan asked with fear creeping into her voice. What if he's a psycho?
"I'll tell you what's wrong Ms. I am a Legend and I am gonna kill my boyfriend. You betrayed me, you wretch. I am a Dragoon, your mortal enemy, I was sent to kill you and with my new knowledge I will kill you with pleasure. I might have spared you, but you didn't tell me." Trunks said in a breath.
Pan first burned through the steel clasps with a laser/lipstick she always carried. She stared at Trunks for a long time till he began talking again.
"Now I will kill you slowly and Painfully, Pan Son. Enjoy your last moments. I thought I loved you, but it was an illusion set up by you. Listen to me, this I say now to your face, I HATE YOU!!!" Trunks said with great anger in his voice.
Pan's face showed so much hurt that Trunk almost faltered. She broke out in tears and then she saw Bra and Goten standing at the door staring at them. She knew Goten had known all along. She gestured to Bra and opened the door. Bra walked out and gave death glares to Trunks. Before she left she opened her mouth to speak.
"Trunks, I was going to tell you tonight. I wanted to run away with you, but I guess you are not the one. I loved you Trunks." Pan yelled as she ran down the hall and disappeared with Bra trailing behind her.
Trunks gasped and just stared for a few moments. She may have just left him forever. Goten gave him an angry glare and stalked off trying to follow Bra. Trunks watched him go. Maybe Goten was gone forever too. HE just didn't know.
Goten's parting remark was, "I guess revenge wasn't so sweet for you, huh trunks?"
~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~********** *~~~~~~~~~**************~~~~~~~~~~********
Well what do you think is going to happen now? IS Pan really going away forever? IS Bra too? What about Goten? Will Trunks just be left alone to live out the rest of his life like that? Well to find out you are going to have to wait for me to finish. MUHAHAHA!! Oh, and hoped you enjoyed it.
