Chapter 10

**~**~**~**~**~

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Pan asked worriedly one last time before letting Alex's hand go, to have her lead off by a nurse dressed in a white costume. (A GHOST!! MUAHAHA Halloween's comin up... ^^)

"Don't worry, Pan! I'll be fine! I promise! Go out and have fun!!!" Alex yelled while being dragged away. "I'll call if I need you!!!"

Pan smiled outwardly, secretly wanting to burst out in tears on the spot. (Secretly? I dunno... *needs a thesaurus*)

But she'd go out. Just to cool herself down.

* * *

Her shiny black convertible pulled up at an empty parking spot before the mall. The mall. Alex loves the mall.

"What the hell..." she thought as she got out of the car and headed towards the building, even though going to the mall wasn't her 'thing' unless someone MADE her go...

The second she stepped into the mall, she wanted to step right back out and drive away. What the hell would she do at the mall anyway? 'Shop'? She shuddered, thinking of the horrible past times she'd had at the mall. Trying out things, 'shopping', being dragged from store to store, it definitely was not a beautiful thing.

Food court? Well, there was nothing better to do. She hauled herself to the food court, looking around for stuff to do. Just when her eye caught a glimpse of the plain, yet still dull sign that read "Baskin Robins".

'Ice cream!' The idea popped in her head. Everybody loves ice cream! And just her luck, she wanted some at that very moment! (what can I say... I'm delirious, and MY TEETH HURT and my jaw if friggin sore!!! Sry I just got spacers -yanno the little rubberbandy thingies that you put inbetween your teeth so it feels like u got food stuck in your teeth in... *thinks* about six places...- AND IT HURTS LIKE A MOFO!!! Ahh I wanna pick em out... and I can... but I'm not supposed ta!!! Nooooohooooooooooo *cries*... so anyway that's why my writing is so bad now but you can't blame me! ^^)

* * *

"Pan?" A voice came from behind as she was walking through the semi-crowded place. She whirled around, trying to find the source of the call. "Pan!" They yelled this time. Finally, her dark chocolate eyes came to settle upon a brown haired, auburn-eyed man about her age. She thought he looked familiar somehow, but thought nothing of it. Too many people here looked alike.

"Pan!" The man called again, staggering in front of her.

"Hi...?" Pan said with a questionable tone, and expression.

"Remember me?" The auburn-eyed one asked. Pan cocked a brow. She had no idea who the hell he was. Not even a clue. She recognized the face a little, but the looks weren't ringing a bell at all. "Chad..."

Pan scrunched up her forehead. The name wasn't ringing a bell either.

"Chad... Sasaki?" He repeated. (Cheesy name? I know... MY TEETH HURT! And I'm kinda delirious... plus... I couldn't think of a last name so I just put some guy from the mariners ^^ awww good enough.)

"Ohh!!!" Pan realized. "Chad, yeah, howya doin???" She knew this guy alright. Well, at least she thought she knew... 'Just nod and pretend you know him, Pan... Yeah... that's it...' From what she recalled, he was from the 10th grade. He was the one who chased after her all the way to senior year but had no success.

He even asked her to the prom. Sadly for him, she turned him down and ended up at home, eating fatty junk foods. (Interesting life, neh?) She also knew him in middle school, she thought. He chased after her then too. Sure, he was 'cute' back then... and 'hot' now... but not even NEARLY as charming, or good looking, or all the other things, as Trunks. Nope, no one could compare to that purple-haired friend.

She frowned at the thought. Trunks didn't even love her anymore. Just the thought of him made wanted to make the tears well up in her eyes and begin to stream down her creamy cheeks.

"I'm fine! How about you?" Chad replied, but noticed that Pan was spacing out, with a frown tugging at her lips. "Hello? Pan??" He waved his hands in front of her eyes a little.

"Oh!" She blinked out of it, while slightly shaking her head. "Hmm?"

"How are YOU?" Chad asked again.

"Ohh! I'm doing fine!!!" Pan replied politely, "So what're you doing these days? Where are you at??"

"Well..." Chad began.

* * *

"Excuse me, can you tell me what room Alex Suzuki is in?" A deep male voice asked the lady at the counter. (Descriptive? Oh no my friend... I think not...)

"It depends..." The woman mumbled then coughed, and looked up. "Yeah! Let me see..."

She looked down at the computer screen again. Realizing who she just saw standing before her, she couldn't help but do a double take. "OH MY GOD! TRUNKS BRIEFS!!!!!!!" She stood up and pointed. "TRUNKS BRIEFS IS HERE!!!" She bounced up and down, never lowering her finger.

"Will you SHUT UP??" He said with gritted teeth, not wanting the entire building's females to come flocking around him.

"TRUNKS BRIEFS! TRUNKS BRIEFS! TRUNKS BRIEFS!" She wheezed.

"SHUT UP!!!" Trunks tried again. No luck.

"TRUNKS BRIEFS! TRUNKS BRIEFS! TRUNKS BRIEFS!" She exhaled loudly.

"SHUT UP ALREADY!" He finally yelled. Taken aback by his aggressiveness, the woman stopped flapping, and sat down in her rolly chair.

"Ahem," she tried to continue normally, but all eyeballs were already staring in her direction, due to the commotion. "Alex Suzuki, was it?"

"Yes," Trunks flashed her one of his charming smiles, showing off his pearly whites, "It was..." He said the last part with gritted teeth.

"Room D204, on the fourth floor," she breathed seductively, or at least what she thought was seductive. "So, do you have any plans tonight?"

'No, but now I definitely do,' he thought to himself, and then put on an extremely fake smile. "Yes, I'm busy. Sorry, maybe some other time."

"Ok, here's my number," before he could protest, she grabbed his hand and began to scribble ink digits on his palm.

"Um... I... I haveta go," Trunks said abruptly before speed walking off. (lol... hehe "work those buns!" you know Kali...)

He glanced back as he continued speed walking, to find the woman winking, smiling, and waving at him. He groaned in annoyance, and then shaded his face while he walked, not wanting any more attention. Absentmindedly, he stumbled into a nurse, holding a tray-full of contents, which went scattering across the hall.

"Oh sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" Trunks apologized.

"It's fine, it happens all the..." the nurse looked up and hung open her mouth when she saw who it was. "time,"

"OH MY GOD!" she got up, uncaring for the scattered items. "YOU'RE TRUNKS BRIEFS!!!" she pointed as she jumped enthusiastically. (No one should be that happy... actually... screw that sometimes I am...)

Trunks panicked. "NO I'M NOT! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!" he tried to shield his face from being visible.

"YES YOU ARE!!!!" she jumped and pointed some more.

Trunks wanted to smack her. But no, he had to resist the urge. So instead, he quickly walked away. Stopping at the elevator, he pushed the "up" button, which lit up a dull manila-ish color.

* * *



"And that's how I ended up back here." Chad finally finished after what seemed like an eternity of talking and babbling about what the hell he did after graduation.

Pan tried to hold back a yawn. "Hmm... really... Listen... Chad... I really haveta go now... so... I guess I'll see you around!" She exclaimed cheesily as she started to walk off, but was stopped when he grabbed her wrist.

"Pan, maybe we can... see each other again?" He asked shyly, looking at his feet. "Like... tonight?"

Pan scrunched up her forehead, bringing her eyebrows down low. Maybe it was gonna help her get over Trunks... Or maybe not. But what has she got to lose? "Sure,"

Chad smiled. Inside, he felt like cheering. After all these years, Pan Son was finally going to be his. "Great! So meet at..."

* * *

"Miss Suzuki, a Trunks Briefs is here to see you," The nurse informed after knocking softly on the door, then left.

Trunks stepped into the dull room. Alex looked up. "Hey," he smiled.

"Hey Trunks," she smiled back, her eyes slightly squinting with cheerfulness.

"How ya doin?" he shoved his hands into his pocket and shuffled over, beside the bed that Alex's frail body lay on.

"Good, I guess," she sighed deeply. "But how good can you get when you have cancer? And you only have a few weeks to live?"

Trunks let out a soft smile. "Don't say that, Alex,"

"Shut up, Trunks," Alex said, kidding.

The door creaked open. Both heads turned that way to see Pan slipping in. Pan and Trunks' eyes locked.
