Ch.7: I'm not who you think I am



Pan sat up in Trunks' bed wearing his shirt as a nightshirt. She blinked over at the clock.

It was after eight. Trunks was sleeping on his stomach facing towards the wall. Pan

noticed a small bite mark on his neck. 'Oh no. I did it.' She got up and walked over to the

mirror to look at her own neck. Sure enough there was a bite mark. "Oh no." She

whispered, "We're bonded." Quickly she searched for her clothes which were scattered

on the floor and dressed. Careful as not to wake him she cooked a few eggs, some bacon

and some biscuits and left a note before she herself had left. On the way to her house she

strained to remember what they had done but couldn't. Though, if they had bonded they

must have had sex. Pan pulled into the parking lot of her apartment. Building. She took

the elevator up to the nineteenth floor. She carefully let herself into her apartment. Sure

enough Aaliyah was sitting in the living room. Pan threw her keys in the basket next to

the door and went to sit down.

"So did you tell him?" Aaliyah asked.

"No I didn't. Kami, I am so stupid Aaliyah."

"Pan you are not stupid, just crazy. You're only stupid if you had sex with him… Well no

Pari had sex with him." Pan looked at her guiltily.

"I've got a letter to write." Pan picked up a notebook and a pen. "I can't hide anymore."

"You're right about that." Aaliyah said. Pan went into her bedroom.

"Aaliyah if Trunks comes by tell him I'm not feeling well." Aaliyah sadly shook her

head, 'She's got it bad.'

**Trunks**

Trunks got up an hour after "Pari" had left. He looked around for her but all he found was

a note:

Dear Trunks,

Thanks for last night. I'll see you at work Monday.

Love,

Pari

P.S: I made you breakfast.

He smiled and looked down at the bacon, eggs and biscuits she had made. He decided to

take a shower before he ate so he went back into his bedroom to get some clean clothes.

After a long hot shower Trunks noticed a bite mark on his neck.

"It can't be." He looked at it again. "It has to be." He dressed in a pair of black sweat

pants and a black muscle shirt and went to eat his breakfast. He had a flashback.

*Flashback*

"Trunks naturally when Marron bit you, it didn't leave a mark!" Vegeta told his son.

"Why didn't it?"

"She's an earthling. Earthling bites cannot penetrate a Saiyan's skin."

*Flashback ends*

'She can't be a Saiyan. She would have a ki.' Trunks finished his food and washed his

plate. 'I'll give her some time to think since its Sunday.' He went into his living room

and popped in Gone in 60 seconds into the DVD player.

*The next day*

Pan had finished her letter and had it ready to go. Trunks meant everything to her but Pari

had to be out of the picture. She had a pair of khakis and a dark green button up shirt.

Aaliyah had already left to take Coby to school and Brynn to daycare so she could hunt

for an apartment. Pan left for Capsule.

'We both know that I shouldn't be here

And this is wrong

And baby it's killin me

Its killin you the both of us gotta be strong

I've got somewhere else to be.'

Pan pulled up to Capsule, a letter in her hands. She knew if Pari was going to tell him it

was over, she had to be the strongest she could be.

'Promises to keep

Some else who loved me

And trusted me fast asleep

I've made up my mind

There is no turning back

She's been good to me

And she deserves better than that.'

Pan knocked on Trunks' office door.

"Come in." She breathed deeply and went in. Trunks looked up from some papers he was

signing.

"We need to talk."

'It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eyes

And tell you I don't love you

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion when you start to cry.'

"About what?" Trunks asked.

"About Saturday night."

"Okay."

"I don't know what we did or anything but I think whatever we did was a mistake."

"What?!" Trunks didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry. I can't do this."

"So it's over?" Trunks asked angry.

"Yes." She paused. "I'm sorry." She turned to leave and then she remembered the letter.

"This is from Pan." She threw the letter on Trunks' desk and left. Pan felt a clod stab of

guilt in the pit of his stomach as she sat in her car crying. She drove off thinking of how

stupid she was for lying to him. It was a relief to think now that he would be meeting her

as Pan instead of Pari.

'I can't let you see what you mean to me

When my hands are tied

And my heart's not free

We're not meant to be

It's the hardest thing

I'll ever have to do

To turn around and walk away

Pretending I don't love you.'

*Trunks*

'I can't believe it. She thought what we did was a mistake. He looked down at the letter.

It was still unopened. So he picked it up and opened it.

Trunks,

I'm going to warn you now before you see me. I've changed a great deal. I'm not the same little girl you knew so well. Meet me in the Club Rouge parking lot at 4:30. I'll be wearing my bandana and driving a black mustang. See you then.

Panny

He folded the letter and put it in his pocket. 'My little Panny.' He picked up his pen and

resumed signing the paperwork. At least now he had something to look forward to. He

felt his love for the young quarter Saiyan grow stronger at every second.

*Later at the club*

Pan was leaning on car checking her watch every few minutes.

"Four thirty-five. He's late." She paused to think. "Maybe he's not coming." She felt a

hand on her shoulder.

"Its been awhile Panny." Pan looked up into Trunks' deep blue eyes. "Pari?" Pan shook

her head

"No Trunks its me. Pan." She looked back down.

"You look so much like Pari."

"That's because I am Pari."

"What?!" He took his hand off her shoulder. "You lied to me?" He backed away.

"Yes, I did. Trunks…" He slapped her. Hard. "What was that for?" She asked rubbing

her face, unshed tears glossed her eyes.

"Why'd you lie to me?"

"No, you answer me!"

"I don't know why I hit you. Kami I only feel betrayed Pan!"

"What would you rather I was originally never going to come back but you pushed me

without you realization."

"So why'd you lie to me?"

"I seriously don't know. I'll understand if you never want to see me again."

"That's right. You're fired." He began to walk away.

"You're too late. I quit!" She got in her car and slammed to door shut and drove off.



Pan: Sorry for the short chapter.
