Ch.2: Pari Sakura
Pan found a nice apartment in the city now she was down to a job. She applied at the
newspaper, Capsule, and the local trash paper even, but not under her real name. Instead
she took up a fake name: Pari Sakura. After living back in Japan for three weeks, Pan
received a phone call offering her a job as Trunks' secretary.
"Hello this is Bulma Briefs of Capsule Corp. and I'm looking for a Pari Sakura. If you
could just give me a call, I found you a job here." Naturally Pan called her back and
accepted Bulma's job offer. After getting all the details about the job, Pan decided to give
her uncle a call.
"Hello?"
"Goten is that you?"
"Depends on who's asking."
"Hey Goten. It's Pan."
"Oh its been forever since you've called."
"I've been very busy between work and classes. You'll never guess what I found out
when Trunks called me."
"No, I probably won't so you're just going to have to tell me."
"When did you get married?"
"Oh he told you I guess?"
"Yeah he did. I'm very surprised Vegeta didn't strangle you or better yet kill you."
"He just about did if Bra hadn't gotten in his energy blast I would be dinner."
"Mmm sounds good. Fried Goten for dinner."
"Hey listen Panny I've got to pick up Trunks and Marron."
"Why?"
"Well Trunks is doing a mate search."
"Where you guys going?"
"This newer club on the corner of Satan and 8th."
"Oh okay then I'll let you go."
"Bye." Pan heard Goten's side of the line go dead so she hung up.
'A party. Well now I have plans.' She ran for her closet. "Dammit where is that mesh
shirt. Ahh there it is." She picked out a blood red tube top, a long sleeved mesh shirt to go
over her tube top and a black skirt that had one side coming up to her hip and it stopped
on the other side at her ankle. Pan put on her clothes after she found her belly ring and
gothic crucifix that Aaliyah gave her along with the camouflage heart anklet. Last but not
least her bracelet which served as a ki detector.
Club Rouge on the corner of Satan and 8th
"You found anybody to dance with Trunks?"
"No." Trunks answered Goten harshly.
"So why did you break up with Marron?"
"You wouldn't understand Goten."
"Try me."
"Well there's this girl I knew for about all her life and fell in love with her." The song
'nobody wants to be lonely' came on and Trunks spotted a beautiful dragonfly dancing
on the floor.
1 There you are in a darkened room
2 And you're all alone looking out the window
3 Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me
Come to me
Can't you see that
He was mesmerized in her every movement
"Trunks, hey man wake up."
4 Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you so bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and its slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you?
Trunks ignored Goten and walked out onto the dance floor towards the beauty. His
emotions were in powering him.
5 Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It's serenade so your heart can find me
And suddenly you're flying down the stairs
Into my arms baby
Before I start going crazy
Run to me
Run to me
Cause I'm dyin'
He walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around. It was Pan or
Pari.
"Hello." She had to yell to let him hear her.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Sure." He took her hand and led her off the floor to the bar.
"I'm Trunks. Trunks Briefs." He said before ordering a shot of whisky. The bartender
turned to Pan.
Pari. Pari Sakura and I'll have a strawberry wine cooler." The bartender handed Pan a
wine cooler and Trunks a shot.
"Come on we'll go see what my people are doing." He stood up.
"Your people?"
Yeah the people I came here with."
"Oh okay." She followed him through the crowd.
*Goten*
Goten sat in a chair waiting for Trunks, Marron, or Bra to come back. Finally he spotted
Trunks being followed by Bra, Marron, and another woman.
"Hey Goten I found someone." Trunks said happily to his friend. Goten surveyed Pan.
"I'd like you guys to meet Pari. Pari this is my brother in law Goten. My sister Bra and
our close friend Marron."
"Hey nice to meet you." Marron said surveying Pan more closely than the others. She
noticed Pan's fairy tattoo that was on her back and her belly button ring. Bra noticed it
too.
"Doesn't getting your belly button pierced hurt?"
"No not really but then again I've had it done three times. She answered sitting down in
one of the chairs.
"Why three?" Trunks, Bra, and Marron sat down as well.
"The first time I had it done I went swimming and some how it got infected. The second
time I had it five weeks and I went to work and one of my regulars at the restaurant I was
working at ripped it out and that really hurt." 'But not as bad as he did.' Pan had beaten
several 'I'm sorrys' out him.
"Hey Trunks what's today?" Goten asked suddenly.
"Tuesday."
"No shit Sherlock. The date stupid."
"Dig deeper Watson and it's the 18th."
"Why are you asking Goten?" Pan asked although she knew the answer.
"It's my niece's twenty-forth birthday. I'll call her when I get home."
"That's cool. I just turned twenty-four myself."
"When?" Trunks asked sipping the beer he had just ordered.
"Today." Pan took the lat sip pf her wine cooler and checked her watch. "So sorry but I
have to go now." She stood silently. "As much as I hate to but I'm starting a new job
tomorrow."
"I'll walk you out." Trunks said. Pan tried to reject him silently. "I won't take no for an
answer." He followed her as she walked out. She pulled out the capsule containing her
car, pressed the button, threw it down and watched her mustang pop up.
"Nice car."
"I try to please the guys."
"Well then I'd better get back inside. Maybe I'll see you again." He began to walk away.
"The key word in maybe." She called after him, getting in her car and driving off. 'Oh
yeah you'll see me again'
*Goten's House*
Goten sat down in his chair, phone pressed to his ear.
"Hello?" A voice said on the other line.
"Who's this?"
"Aaliyah Cope. Who are you?"
"Goten Son, Pan's uncle, is Pan there?"
"No she's not. She left three weeks ago for Japan."
"Oh okay thank you." With that he hung up. Bra came into the living room where Goten
was sitting wearing a see-through nightgown that barely covered her at all.
"Did you get a hold of her?"
"How can I when she's here in Japan?"
"How do you know that? Aaliyah could have been lying. We'll call her in the morning."
She crawled onto his lap. "In the meantime." She kissed him fumbling with the buttons
on his shirt.
*Pan's apartment the next morning*
Pan's alarm clock buzzed loudly. She stirred and looked up. It was ten after six.
"Damn. Trunks if I wasn't working for you I would call in right now." She crawled out of
bed and turned off the alarm clock. He cell phone rang from the kitchen where she had
left it the previous night. She picked up and turned on her phone.
"Pan Son's phone."
"Pan, it's Goten."
"Oh hey."
"Happy Birthday!"
"Oh thanks. Is that all you called for?"
"No. I called your phone in Los Angeles and your roommate said you were in Japan."
"No, I'm not. I'm in San Jose."
"Oh okay when are you coming home?"
"Soon hopefully. Listen Goten I have to let you go. I'm at work."
"Okay. Call me soon."
"Bye." She hung up. 'Well I'm not going to call Aaliyah now.' It was already six twenty.
She picked up the black skirt suit and white blouse she had picked out and headed for the
shower.
*Trunks CC*
Trunks had only gotten two hours of sleep. He had spent most of his time thinking
whether he would see Pari again. Bulma had reminded him the night before that she had
gotten him a new secretary. Trunks' cell phone rang (Yes I have a thing for cell phones).
He answered while fixing his tie.
"Trunks Briefs."
"I hate when you do that. It's Bra"
"Hello Bra. What are you calling 'bout?"
"Its about Pan."
"What about her?" Trunks felt his stomach lurch. 'She's dead.' He thought.
"Goten tried calling her last night and her roommate Aaliyah said she was in town. Have
you seen her?" Trunks felt relieved.
"No I haven't besides I talked to her the other day."
"What did she say?"
"Well she isn't supposed to be back till August or December, maybe even January."
"Oh okay are you at work yet?"
"No."
"Well don't forget you're getting that new secretary."
"You and Mom have too much time on your hands."
"It's not our faults."
"You're such a liar."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. Now listen I have to b in the office by seven fifteen today."
"Alright. Call me later and tell me what your new secretary is like."
"Bye." Trunks hung up. 'Pan can't be back.' He turned and headed out to his car.
Pan on her way to work
Pan was on her way to work prepared for what was going to be coming at her. She picked
up her phone that was sitting in the passenger's seat.
"Name." Came the automated connecter.
"Aaliyah."
"Connecting." Pan heard ringing sound coming from the other side. Aaliyah picked up on
the second ring.
"Talk."
"Aaliyah it's Pan."
"Hey girl your uncle called here last night."
"I'm aware of that."
"Why doesn't he know you're in Japan?"
"I'm hiding. I've already made contact with Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Marron but I'm
down to my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa."
"Well if you made your contact with Goten or whatever his name was, how come he
doesn't know you are in Japan?"
"I'm not going by Pan."
"Why not?"
"I don't know, but listen if anyone people from here calling asking for me, I'm in San
Jose and they can reach me on my cell."
"So if you're not going by Pan, what are you going by?"
"Pari Sakura."
"What's up with the B.A.(Bad Ass)?" Any action I need to know about?"
"Nope, but I did get a job."
"Where?"
"I'm Trunks' secretary."
"Well. Now this is getting interesting."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"The president of Capsule Corp getting some from his secretary. It's goin to be front-
page news."
"Smart ass."
"Better than a dumb ass."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Pan, sweetie, have some guts and tell him that its you. Not Pari whatever."
"You have no clue what my family would say to me if they saw me."
"No, I don't speak the 'Son' language."
Pan parked outside Capsule corp. "They'd flip. But listen I just got to work so I've got to
go."
"Wait home addy. I need it."
"1105 Dragon Ave. Apartment 19C."
"Okay bye." Pan hung up and got out of her car. 'Here I go.' Pan went in to the elevator
to the second floor. Her surroundings were very familiar to her. She remembered that
Trunks used to escape out of the window. The elevator door opened and she stepped out.
Trunks came out of his office.
"Pari?"
"Hello Trunks."
"What are you doing here?"
"New secretary."
"Oh well then we'll talk later."
