Chapter 2 ~ Sleeping memories, Awakened desires

Pan lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Bra was still mad and was muttering swears at Trunks who was lying unconscious on Bra's bed. "Pan! We should have just left him in the park!" Bra yelled, "Once he wakes up, he's going to start another fight!"

Pan didn't answer her. Bra frowned, "Panny? Are you upset?"

Pan snorted, "Do I look like I'm upset?"

"Yes." Bra replied.

"Well, I'm not, all right?" Pan yelled, "Frankly, I don't care if your brother forgot me or not! I don't care about what he thinks of me! He's gone, all right, Bra? Trunks doesn't exist in my mind anymore, Okay?!"

Bra nodded slowly, she looked at Trunks and whispered, "Now look at what you've done."

Suddenly, the door opened, Pan turned around and Bra stood up.

"Hey!" Rob called.

"Oh, hi." Bra thought it was going to be Maria or Cheryl.

"Do you guys wanna come and have dinner with us? Me and Mike, I mean." Rob asked. Mike was Rob's best friend, and he obviously has a thing for Bra.

Normally, Bra would've declined, but because she desperately wanted to take Pan's mind off Trunks she agreed, "Give us 15 minutes." Bra said.

"Alright, we'll meet you in the lobby." Rob left.

Bra tugged on Pan's arm, "C'mon Pan, we have 15 minutes to get ready."

"I'm not going." Pan said.

"On come on, Pan." Bra reasoned, "It'll be fun!"

"No, it won't." Pan didn't look up.

"But what'll you do in here? What if 'he' wakes up?" Bra asked.

She had a point there, Pan thought, but she really wasn't in the mood to eat.

"Oh, Bra, I don't feel like eating anything, remember when Goten started dating Paris?" Pan complained.

"Don't remind me." Bra smiled. When Bra found out that Goten was going out she wouldn't eat for 3 days.

"Anyways, that was different." Bra explained, "I had a crush on Goten but Trunks is just your friend."

Pan murmured, "That's what you think."

"What?" Bra asked.

"Never mind." Pan didn't want to carry on this conversation any longer so she said, "How about this, instead of going for dinner, let's just go to a movie."

Bra bit her bottom lip, "Okay then, but we should tell Rob and Mike about our change of plans."

Pan nodded and sat up, she threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, Bra wanted to complain about how much her t-shirt clashed with her hair but she decided not to.

"What are we going to do about him?" Bra gestured to Trunks.

Pan shrugged, "Leave him here, I guess."

Bra nodded and grabbed her purse, "Well? Let's go."

They left and slammed the door.

-----------------

About an hour later, Trunks opened one eye, "Where am I?" He slowly sat up and observed his surroundings, it appeared to be a hotel room. He tried to remember what had happened, he and Bra got in a fight, but how did he end up here? Trunks stood up and walked towards a desk, he picked up a book and flipped open the cover.

'Property of Bra Vegeta-Briefs, so stay out!' Trunks nodded, that made sense, so this was where Bra was staying. But why had she gotten mad at him? And who was that pretty girl that was with her? Trunks's head hurt, there were too many questions unanswered, and he was really sore from the Kamehameha wave. How did Bra know how to fire the Son's specialty beam anyways, unless it wasn't Bra. But could it have been the girl that was with her? No, he didn't sense any ki from her. Either she didn't have any, or else she hid it very well.

Trunks stumbled out of the hotel room, still clutching on to the book, he nearly bumped into two girls coming into the room. One had brown hair and the other had red hair. He wanted to ask if they knew where Bra was, but he decided not to. He knew where they were staying, he could always come back later.

-----------------

Pan and Bra ran into the room, laughing. "That was so funny when you screamed, B-chan!"

"Well, it wasn't my fault that Mike put his arm around me." Bra protested.

"Right, and what would you have done if Goten did that?" Pan teased.

"Slap myself." Bra sighed dreamily at the thought.

"Slap yourself?" Pan was puzzled.

"To see if it was a dream." Bra explained.

Pan noticed that Maria and Cheryl were both in the room, "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Oh, not much, except I think that we have been robbed." Cheryl said.

"ROBBED?" Bra and Pan both exclaimed together.

Maria explained, "Well, when we got back, a man with purple hair came running out of our room."

Bra snorted, "Oh, he was my brother."

"Oh." Maria smiled, "Well, that's good then."

"But why do you think that we've been robbed?" Bra asked.

Cheryl said, "Well, he was carrying a book with him."

"A book?" Pan was confused.

"Probably the one that he was reading in the park." Bra said.

"With a pink fluffy cover?" Maria laughed.

"What?" Bra asked.

"Well, the book had a pink fluffy cover." Maria explained.

Bra walked towards her desk, "That jerk!! He took my diary!!"

Pan looked amused, "Your diary had a pink fluffy cover?"

"It was from Marron as a gift." Bra blushed.

"Oh! Well, that explains a lot." Pan laughed.

"Anyways." Cheryl interrupted while holding up the newspaper, "Can you believe this? Look, there's a ball held in this hotel this Saturday and the owner of the hotel is going to be there!"

"Whoopee." Pan said sarcastically.

"That's not all!" Cheryl said, excitedly, " The vice-president of C.C is going to be here as well!"

"Whoopee." Pan said again, "WAIT! What did you say?"

Cheryl repeated her statement and Bra asked, "C.C as in Capsule Corp?"

Cheryl nodded, "It's going to be so cool! Some people say that he's a multi- millionaire!"

"Billionaire." Bra corrected.

"Whatever." Cheryl continued, "It's quite surprising, because as the vice- president of the largest corporation in the world he's only like, 30 years old."

"29." Pan corrected, "His birthday is next month."

"Really?" Cheryl asked, "Wow, you guys sure know a lot about him."

"Not that we want to." Bra said.

Pan dragged Bra to a corner and asked, "Haven't you told them that Bulma is the president of C.C?"

"Nope." Bra crossed her arms, "And I intend to keep it that way."

"Hey, you guys, did you know, that the Vice-president isn't even married yet?" Maria said excitedly, "Some people say that he's really nice and good- looking."

Pan spat, "No, he isn't, he's a heartless, worthless bastard."

Bra nodded in agreement and Maria looked surprised, "Whoa, chill out."

"So?" Cheryl asked, "Are you guys gonna go to this ball?"

Bra said no and Pan said yes. They both stared at each other. "B-but, won't you be upset?" Bra asked.

"No," Pan said coldly, "He's not going to be ruining my trip in Paris, if he doesn't remember me, then what is there to worry about? And besides, I already said that he doesn't exist in my head anymore."

-----------------

The next few days passed quickly, Pan hasn't mentioned one single word about Trunks since. It was Saturday morning and someone knocked on their door.

"Come in." Pan called

Ron stepped in, "Hello, I'm here on behalf of Mike, where's Bra?"

Pan said, "She went shopping with Cheryl and Maria."

"Oh well, when she comes back, could you tell her that Mike asked her to the ball?" Rob asked.

"Sure." Pan said. Bra's so lucky, she thought, boys are always chasing her.

"Okay, thanks," Rob started to leave but when he reached the door he turned around, "Oh, are you going to the ball with someone?"

Pan shook her head.

"Would you like to go with me, then?" Rob asked.

Pan smiled and nodded.

"Great! Okay, don't forget to tell Bra." Rob left.

Pan smiled again and she laughed, "That shows you, Trunks Vegeta-Briefs, my world doesn't revolve around you."

Just then, Bra came stepping into the room carrying a large shopping bag, "There, I've finally got my dress, now all I need is a boy."

"Too late," Pan was still smiling, "Mike already asked."

"REALLY?!" Bra squealed.

"Un-huh." Pan nodded.

"Oooo! I've got to get ready!" Bra yelled.

"Bra, there's like 7 more hours until the ball." Pan laughed.

"ONLY 7 HOURS?!" Bra screamed.

"Oh! The horrors!." Pan murmured, "Spare me."

The next 6 hours consisted of Maria, Cheryl and Bra all getting ready frantically for the ball.

When Bra finished, Pan decided that she looked stunning, she was wearing a strapless dark red velvet evening gown that went all the way down to the floor. A long slit was on the left side and a golden dragon was embroidered down the right. Bra's blue hair hang loosely down her shoulders, and there was a purple shawl wrapped loosely around her shoulders.

Bra rubbed her hands, "Now for the hard part-getting YOU ready."

"Uh-oh." Pan said as Bra dragged her towards her suitcase.

"Will you be wearing the pretty lavender dress?" Bra asked.

"No, I'm just going in my jeans." Pan rolled her eyes.

Bra scowled, "I hope that was a joke!"

So after almost an hour of torture, Pan was finally done. Bra clapped her hands, "C'mon out, Pan!"

Reluctantly, Pan stepped out of the washroom. Cheryl, Maria and Bra all cheered.

Pan's hair was tied in an elegant knot. She was wearing the dragon bracelets and diamond earrings. The dress itself was just perfect, it looked like it belonged on Pan. It only went down to a little bit above her knees. The straps were tied in a small bow behind Pan's neck, there were criss-crosses down her back. She was wearing matching heels that she had bought the day before.

"Now for the finishing touch." Bra took out a small box and sprayed her with 'To Die For'

Pan coughed and Bra smiled, "Mmm, this perfume smells like Goten."

Pan coughed again and Cheryl and Maria left to find their dates.

"Well, come on Panny, let's go." Bra dragged a coughing Pan out of the room.

As they arrived in the ballroom, Rob and Mike came to greet them, both in tuxedos. Well, in Pan's opinion, they looked like penguins. She hated men in tuxedos! But as she glanced around the room, she saw that almost every boy was dressed in a tuxedo. "Darn penguins," She muttered.

Rob smiled, "You look great, Pan."

Pan smiled too, "You look great also, penguin."

Rob raised an eyebrow and Pan sighed. She remember when she was still 12 and it was Trunks's 25th birthday.

Bulma had made Trunks dress up in a tuxedo and Trunks hated it. But Pan had smiled and said, "Hey, cool, Trunks, I love penguins." Trunks had laughed and said, "Well, Panny, if you like me as a penguin, then I guess it's worth making a fool of myself."

"Hello? Earth to Pan?" Rob called.

"Oh, sorry." Pan snapped back to reality. 'Get a grip on yourself, Pan.' She thought, 'He doesn't even remember who you are. He doesn't deserve you.'

Bra poked Pan and pointed to a crowd gathered in the middle of the room. They walked over there and saw a ring of girls gathered around Trunks.

"That's disgusting." Bra said, "Of all the guys, why my brother?"

Pan felt kind of bad for hitting Trunks with a Kamehameha wave. But then she remembered all the mean things that he had said.

Trunks, however had spotted Bra and he waved. He managed to squeeze through the crowd to talk to her.

Bra turned around when she saw him coming. "Hey B-chan." Trunks said, "Look, I'm sorry for what happened in the park the other day."

Bra glanced at Pan and said, "Apology accepted, but I'm still not taking back what I said about you."

"Whatever." Trunks decided that he didn't want to start another fight, "Wow, B-chan, you look great, real grown up."

Bra smiled, "Thanks, boxer boy, alright, fine. I'm sorry too."

Trunks smiled and held his arms out. Bra decided that she'd better hug him before he breaks down and cries.

Well, just then Rob and Pan and Mike all came over and well, Mike wasn't exactly friendly like Rob. "Why are you touching my girl?"

Bra blushed and yelled, "I'm not your girl!"

Pan started to say, "Yeah, she's saving herself for Uncle Got-"

Bra clamped her hand over Pan's mouth. Trunks looked amused, "Oh, Bra, is this your boyfriend?"

"No!" Bra yelled, "He's just a friend!"

Mike pointed a finger at Trunks, "Who are you?"

"I'm her brother." Trunks said coolly.

"Oh." Mike looked embarrassed.

Trunks then switched his gaze to Pan, 'Wow' he thought, 'She's the girl from the other day, man is she ever pretty.'

Pan started at Trunks who was wearing a black suit. She snorted, "Well at least someone's not a penguin."

Trunks looked confused, 'That's weird' he thought, 'Her voice, it sounds so familiar.'

Rob said, "Well, it was nice to meet you. Man with the purple hair."

Before Trunks could correct him, Pan blurted out, "Violet."

"What?" Rob asked.

Pan looked embarrassed, "I mean, Trunks' hair is violet, not purple." 'Shut up now!' her mind yelled.

Rob raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You know him?"

"No, not really." Pan quickly corrected herself, "I've just known Bra for a long time."

Trunks asked, "Really? I'd remember a pretty face like yours. How come I've never seen you before?" 'Shut up Trunks' He thought, 'She probably already has a boyfriend!'

Pan replied, "Oh, I met Bra at camp." She didn't know why but she didn't want to tell Trunks that she was Pan.

Trunks raised an eyebrow, "Bra never went to camp before."

Pan quickly said, "Err, I meant she knew someone that I knew from camp."

Trunks looked satisfied with that answer, "So, you never did tell me your name."

Bra said quickly, "Her name is Posann, but we just called her Po for short."

Pan bursted out laughing, "Po?"

Trunks looked at Bra suspiciously, "What's so funny?"

Mike started to say, "I thought her name was P-" Bra clamped a hand over his mouth.

Pan was still laughing, and Rob looked at her like she was crazy.

Trunks wanted to ask more, but the owner of the hotel was calling him so he said, "I'll be back later."

Mike asked Bra, "What was that all about?"

Bra said, "I'll explain to you later, for now, just play along."

Pan tugged on Bra's arm, "Posann?"

Bra shrugged, "Well, it's just Son Pan scrambled."

Pan nodded, "Well, what about Po?"

Bra grinned, "Oh, that was just to make it sound natural."

Ron laughed, "Hey, Po, wanna dance now?"

Pan nodded and glared at him, "Don't call me that, penguin boy!"

Rob laughed again and took her hand. Bra watched in amusement as they waltzed around the room.

"Do you wanna dance too?" Mike asked.

Bra wanted to decline, but decided that she might as well, "Sure, why not?" Well, to Bra's dismay, Mike wasn't too good a dancer and before long her toes were sore. She stopped and muttered, "Goten would never step on my toes."

Pan watched over Mike's shoulder as two more girls asked Trunks to dance, 'That's funny' she thought, 'Why is he refusing to dance with any of them?'

Bra was sitting on a chair, nursing her swollen toes when she realized that Trunks hasn't taken his eyes off Pan the whole time that she's been dancing. "If I didn't know better." She mumbled, "I'd think that Trunks' got a thing for Pan. But he's probably wondering why she looks so familiar."

Rob went to talk to Mike about something, so Pan leaned against a table to wait for him.

Trunks gasped, she looked so beautiful standing alone under the glow of a crystal chandelier. He couldn't control his feet as they walked towards Pan.

Pan looked up, "Hmm?"

Trunks gulped, "Umm, would you like to dance?"
