Author's Note: Konnichiwa, minna? How'd you like the first chapter? Not bad, ne? Heh. Well, here's the second one. And, just a remind, this is in Trunks's POV.
Disclaimer: DBZ is not mine, but since I stole my radar back, that's all gonna change... Hehehe. ::gathers all the Dragon Balls together:: Shenlong, come forth!
[Shenlong] ::rises in his melodramatic way:: What is your wish, mortal?
::triumphantly:: I wish to own DBZ!
[Shenlong] ::raises an eyebrow at her:: That is not within my power to grant.
...Nuts.

Chapter 2
I watch after her, puzzled. I don't get it. What could get her so upset? I must have forgotten something, but... what? I walk along down the street, a hand to my chin, deep in thought. What could it be...?
After a few minutes of retrospection, I vaguely hear my name being called again. Thinking it's Pan, I look up, only to have the sight of my best friend approaching greet me instead. "Oh, it's you," I say.
Goten stops in front of me, brushing a stray strand of ebony hair behind his left ear. He's grown it long again, and it likes to get in his face. He pouts, mock-hurt. "JUST me? Wow, don't I feel special? And here I thought I was your best friend."
"Sorry," I apologize. "I've just got something on my mind."
"It's okay. Listen," he says, changing the subject, "have you seen Pan?"
I stick my hands in my pockets. "Yeah, actually," I reply. "I just saw her. Why? Is something the matter?"
"Oh, no," he reassures me, smiling. "I just wanted to find her so I can get her to her surprise party."
I freeze. "Surprise party? What surprise party?"
He laughs, slapping me on the back. "Good one, Trunks! 'What surprise party?' Ha ha ha! For her birthday, of course!"
I gulp. "...Birthday?"
"Yeah, she's eighteen today, remember?"
Oh... shit.
Suddenly, a memory of her shocked face at my words of ignorance flashes before my eyes.
She must hate me now.
At my horror-stricken expression, his laughter dies down and the infamous Son grin vanishes. "Don't tell me you forgot."
"..."
"Oh, Kami, Trunks..." His eyes close in disapproval. They snap open a moment later and he says quickly, "Wait, you said you just saw her. What happened?"
"...She ran away..." I reply meekly.
*THWAP*
"Ow!" I rub the back of my head sheepishly.
Goten picks me up by the front of my shirt, glaring at me like I was one of the many evil villains who had plans of world, galactic, and universal domination. I swear, his pupils, normally a deep black, are now red, a fire fueled by complete rage at my idiocy. "You insensitive bastard! She's never going to forgive you for this unless you do something! Didn't you know she's in love with you?" he screams.
I wince, but am surprised. "She... is?" I think back, and realize, he's right. There were so many signs and I never caught on. My eyes widen as I realize, oh my god, I'm an idiot.
"Yes!" he answers, still speaking in a raised voice. He puts me down and gives me a violent shove. I fall to the pavement and land on my ass. I look up at him, ashamed. I am now the child having gotten caught bringing home a failing grade on a test.
Goten continues to scowl at me. "Well? What are you waiting for? Go find her!"
I scramble to my feet and give him one last desperate, apologetic glance before I take off running in the direction Pan went.
Pan, I thought. Please forgive me... I'm coming....

Hehe, that's it for now! Review!
