*****************
Chapter 6 – Another "Date"
*****************
In Starbucks..
"Two orders of white mocha frap.. Grande," said Trunks to the lady at the cashier.
"That would be 5 dollars I just made this one up., sir. But wait, aren't you Trunks Briefs, you know, daughter of the famous Bulma Briefs?"
"Guess that would be me. Why?" asked Trunks nicely to the lady.
"Nothing in particular (He's gorgeous!). I just needed your name for the labels on the frap containers. How about your companion sir?"
"Pan."
"What?! As in granddaughter of Master Satan?! Both of you are celebrities! COOL!" exclaimed the shocked lady.
"Yeah.."
"Umm.. Sorry sir for acting like that! It was so inappropriate! Please wait for your names to be called."
"It's okay.. We don't mind, right Pan-chan?" asked Trunks while winking at the cashier lady don't know how to call 'em! :)
Pan just nodded and flashed him an approving smile.
After waiting for two minutes, their names were called.
"Trunks and Pan. White mocha frap," said the man preparing the drinks and smiling at them.
Upon hearing the two very famous names, the people looked in their direction, surprised.
"Uhh.. Thanks," said Pan.
"Let's go take a seat," suggested Trunks.
Being a gentleman that he was, he pulled a chair out for Pan.
"So what do you think are those people thinking of when they saw us?" asked Pan to break the silence between the two of them.
"(We're in a relationship.. NO! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, TRUNKS?!)" thought the Saiyan prince.
"Umm.. Trunks? Hello? Earth to Trunks! Earth to Trunks! You okay?"
"Wa? Oh yeah. I'm all right.. thinking about stuff.." answered a confused Trunks.
"Okay.."
"Pan?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you happen to know who picked my name in the Kris Kringle?" queried Trunks.
"Me.." said Pan softly..
"WHAT?"
"I said, 'Me?' "? said Pan defensively.
Good thing Trunks' Saiyan hearing didn't work because he was too distracted both by the raven-haired beauty sitting in front of her and that 'someone.'
"Oh. I thought it was you.." said Trunks rather disappointed, but not making it too obvious.
"Nope. Sorry. Disappointed, T-chan?" joked Pan.
"T-chan? Where did you get that?!"
"Not fair.. You call me Pan-chan!"
"Fine, fine. And yes I was disappointed," said Trunks, laughing. "(Better not get too obvious.. Careful Trunks!)" he thought.
"Aww.." said Pan, with a frustrated face. But, she countered that with the famous Son grin. "(Why, Trunks?)" Due to disappointment, she blurted out, "It's almost time. Why don't we head back?"
"Yeah. Race 'ya!"
With those two words, the two Saiyans dashed outside Starbucks and into the sky.
*****************
In school..
"And where have you been?" asked Bra to the two who have just arrived.
"Starbucks," replied Pan.
"What did you do there?" asked Goten.
"Umm.. drank the usual? talked? sat down? breathed? Why are the two of you so curious of what we did?!" asked Trunks, looking a little annoyed.
"Yeah, Trunks is right. What is this, the Bra and Goten talk show?" said Pan, helping Trunks.
"Whoa. Why are the two of you SO defensive?" said Bra, looking at the two with malicious eyes.
"Nothing!!" said both at the same time.
"Let's go, Bra. Just leave the two alone," said Goten in defeat, while reaching his hand out to Bra.
When Bra and Goten were about enough distance away from Trunks and Pan, they both shouted, "YIKEE! TRUNKS AND PAN ARE DATING!" And they both ran away for their lives.
All of the students' attention were diverted to Trunks and Pan. They looked at the couple with questioning eyes.
"Umm.. Trunks.. Maybe we should go to our classes now.. eh.."
"Uhh, yeah. Let's go."
*****************
That night..
*Ring.. ring*
"Hello?"
"Hey Pan."
"Oh, Bra! Wassup?"
"Since we are best friends, pweese tell me what happened this afternoon, pweetie pweese?"
"Huh? Nothing happened, okay? Nothing special!"
"Fine. Just tell me what you talked about, please? Promise I'll give 'ya a makeover.."
"A makeover? Ha! Thought that would make me give in, neh, Bra?"
"But it's what Trunks wants.."
"FINE! ALL RIGHT! Whatever. Okay. The cashier just recognized the two of us as 'celebrities' and people looked at us. Then we talked. He asked me if I happen to know who picked his name in the Kris Kringle. I said I don't know and I made it look like it really wasn't me.."
"Ooohh.. What was his reaction?" asked Bra, sounding very excited.
"Umm.. He wasn't disappointed. No reaction. Zip. And I was.."
"Frustrated? Sorry, Pan. Maybe he's just not making it too obvious.."
"I don't think so.. But I do hope so.."
"Yeah, me too. Then we'll become have double dates, we'll get married together, we'll become sisters-in-law, then we'll grow old together!" exclaimed Bra.
"Geez, Bra. You're mind is so twisted! That's like you know, kinda impossible, and if ever Trunks and I really become an item, it will be like years before we get married, and decades before we get old. You know what? You're beginning to sound like my.. my.. my grandma Chi-chi! HAHA!"
"Oh shut up, Pan. 'Kay. I really have to sleep now."
"Yeah me too – "
Bra cut Pan's sentence short. "WAIT! I promised you I'll give you a makeover. Since it's Saturday tomorrow, I'll pick you up at 10 and – "
"But – "
"No buts for you! Just think that you're doing this for Trunks."
"FINE! BYE!"
"Sure, sure. Remember, okay? We had a deal. Night Pan."
*****************
The next day..
"PAN HONEY! WAKE UP! BRA'S HERE!"
Pan woke up at the sound of her mom's screams and shouts and attempts to wake her up from her deep snooze.
"Wa?" said Pan groggily. "WHAT?! IT'S 10 AM AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN WAKE ME UP! MOM!"
"At least you're now awake. Hey, you didn't tell me you were going out.."
"Oh yeah. Sorry. Hehe." replied Pan apologetically. To wake her up, she popped her CD into the player and the song 'Everywhere' by Michelle Branch started to play. She turned the volume loud enough so that she can hear the song when she's in her bathroom. Using her Saiyan speed, she dashed to the bathroom and turned on the shower.
She started to sing in the bathroom.. "Cause you're everywhere to me.. and when I close my eyes.. it's you I see.. Tell me.. Can you see me?the song is really not that familiar to me.. I don't really know the lyrics.. Trunks.. Can you see me?"
Just after the song stopped playing, she finished taking a bath and that was fast compared to most girls anywhere. She flew to her closet and wore a loose light yellow shirt and black baggy pants. She wore her favorite pair of rubber shoes and got her orange bandana. She then ran downstairs to meet Bra.
"YOU'RE LATE, PAN!" shouted Bra.
"Uh.. Good morning to you too," said Pan in a sarcastic manner.
"Whatever. Let's go now, okay?"
