'.......' : Trunks thinking/thoughts





This entire chapter is gonna be in Author Who Knows Trunks´ Thoughts POV...eh.right..



Nothing happened.

The young Guardian of Earth clearly had more important things to do than listen to Trunks desperate pleas.

Trunks began to panic, cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He looked around frantically for some kind of miracle to happen that would end this nightmare. HIS nightmare to be exactly. Because as he desperately let his gaze wander around the chapel, all he could see was the happy faces of his family and friends. No one seemed to be noticing the agony he was in.

He watched Videl beam with pride and wipe away tears of joy while she looked at her daughter; Trunks also noticed the faint look of sadness in Gohan´s eyes, most likely because his "little" girl was about to leave her parents and childhood behind, and embark on life´s journey as an adult.

Trunks could only imagine what it must feel like, letting your one and only daughter go. But then again, at this peticuliar moment Trunks most immediate concern was his own agonizing feelings, he didn´t really feel like having the burden of Gohan´s problems on his shoulders aswell.

The priest kept talking, but Trunks didn´t hear a word of what he said. All he could do was stare at the raven haired beauty who was standing tall and proud at the alter next to her soon to be husband.

'Grr..' The mere thought of "his" Panny with another man for the rest of her life, away from him, was enough to make him frown and growl furiously. At that moment he felt a disturbing feeling of someone watching him, and when he turned around his eyes met a pair of glaring onyx orbs.

It was his father.

Trunks tried to figure out why his father was staring so intensely at him, but as always the face of his father showed no emotion whatsoever. 'That man.' Trunks was used to Vegeta´s emotionless face, and he knew that his father wasn´t at all as coldhearted as his hard features might lead to think. But just for once Trunks would have liked to known WHY his father was looking at him like that. He was in no mood to use hours on figuring out his fathers "hidden" messages.

So he turned back to look at Pan, or rather stare at her. Trunks watched her standing there, smiling reassuringly to the man next to her, and then take HIS hand and give HIM a comforting squeeze.

Trunks felt like blowing the place up. And it wasn´t like he couldn´t, but he knew that Gohan and Videl, not to mention his OWN mother would rip his head off if he did. And Pan...She would probably go ballistic if he did something like that on the most important day of her life. No, it was better to stay at least semi-calm and think rationally about what to do.

Why did it have to be so complicated? Why couldn´t he just take her in his arms and hold her close like he always had when they were younger? Oh, how he longed to feel her in his arms, hugging him and letting him smell that comforting and sweet scent only she had. Her scent...



~~ Flashback ~~



"Trunks! Trunks!" His head jerked up and a wide smile crept onto his lips when he heard that cheerful and bright voice beaming through the hall.

"What´s up, Panny-chan?" He scooped the 4-year-old up so that he could see her face. She flashed him one of her adorable bright smiles and he immediately felt his heart soften. She wrapped her little arms around his neck and let her head rest against his chest. He held her close and enjoyed the feeling of her warm little body cuddling in his strong arms.

Suddenly Pan lifted her head and looked at him with wide questioning eyes.

"Trunks...Bra says she´s got a boyfriend and that she´s gonna marry him. What´s a boyfriend? What´s marry?"

She looked expectantly at him while he tried to figure out exactly how to explain.

"Um, you see, Panny...It´s like this..." His voice trailed off not knowing how to explain this to a 4-year-old.

"Errm, ok. See Panny...a boyfriend is someone you really like, no wait, someone you love and want to be with, um...have fun with, got it? And "marry" means...well, when you marry it´s because you´ve found someone really special that you love with all of your heart and want to be with for the rest of your life. Um, it´s like your parents, they´re married because they love each other like that. And you see Panny, when a girl finds a boyfriend and really likes him, she usually wants to marry him..."

Trunks paused and looked carefully at Pan, who seemed very thoughtful and caught up in his explanation.

"Um, Panny-chan...Did you understand any of what I said or..." He trailed of as he looked at her thoughtful face and hoped that he hadn´t confused her too much.

"I...think so, Trunks." She looked satisfied with his answer.

He let out a sigh of relief and led his head rest on her head, burying his nose in her silkysmooth raven hair and breathing in her sweet and childlike scent of pure innocence. Being around Pan always made him feel relaxed and comfortable, and in an odd way he also felt completely secure. As if nothing could hurt him as long as she was there, by his side. The hyper little girl, who at times resembled a roaring hurricane, had won his heart from the very first moment he laid eyes on her. She was special, he knew that.

"Trunks?" He was brought back to reality. "Yes, what is it Panny-chan?" He would do anything to protect

her, anything.

She was smiling at him, as if she had just realised something important. It wasn´t one those famous Son-smiles that Goten and Goku usually had on their faces, but one of those precious Panny-smiles only reserved for very few people in the world, Trunks being one of them. He still thanked Dende for that.

"Are you my boyfriend Trunks? Are we gonna marry? `Cause we´re friends and I really like you, and you just said that when a girl really likes a boy, she´s gonna marry him!" Pan blurted everything out and once again had a questioning look on her face, but this time also a hint of expectancy...

Trunks´ heart skipped a beat and he almost choked.

"Um...no...we´re just friends Panny-chan, just friends."

"Oh...ok." Pan smiled at him and began to squirm in his tight embrace. He put her down and saw her run down the hall and into Bra´s room.

"Are we gonna marry?"

Her words hung in the air and it confused him. She was just a little kid, and marriage...well, he had never actually thought about that before. Marriage was something for old people, like his parents and their friends. Him and marriage...with Pan...? He brushed away a few strands of lavender hair from his eyes, before slowly walking down the hall towards the kitchen. He would have to think about this, a lot...but not on an empty stomach.

Lol.sorry, I don´t know what came over me ^_^

By the way, I still haven´t decided who it is that Pan is about to marry...^_^.I just call him HE/HIM because I can´t decide

whether it should be someone we know or a complete stranger. It could be Uub, 17, some made up-character of my own, but...I AM gonna have to find out pretty soon...the wedding is in progress, you know.

If you´ve got any sort of suggestion, feel free to tell me...I won´t mind, not at all.
