Chapter One: Once Hidden and Now Revealed

The night sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain and yet Pan
still insisted on going to Trunk's favorite restaurant so that they may
celebrate their 6- month anniversary. As Trunks and Pan walked into the soft
lighting of the all too romantic restaurant, almost everyone looked up from
their meals to observe the couple.
Pan was wearing a tight black sleeveless dress that showed every curve of her
petite body and it hung down to her ankles with a slit that ran down from her
mid thigh down. Her hair was let loose and it spilled over her shoulders and
down to her waist. Her make-up was very light and calm. Her luscious lips were
grazed with natural brown lipstick and were lined with a shade of brown that was
a bit darker than the natural brown. Her eyes lids were shaded very lightly with
light brown eye shadow, which made her brown eyes stand out more.
Trunks on the other hand were wearing a nice white silk collard shirt along with
his jet-black suit that showed much of his muscular physique and along with the
suit was a blue silk tie that made his blue eyes seem like the depth of the
ocean itself. His lavender hair was combed neatly with his bangs falling
slightly over his forever-arched down eyebrows.
As Pan sat down on their special reserved table, she noticed how Trunks didn't
look as happy as he should have been. Or at least she thought he was supposes to
have been. The waiter handed them their menus and stood there, waiting to jot
down their food selection. Pan kept nervously looking up at Trunks from her
menu; she couldn't help but feel that something wasn't right.
"Trunks?" He looked up from his menu to see a very concerned Pan. "Yes?"
She took a breath, and paused for a moment, then asked, "Is something wrong? You
don't seem happy at all." Before he answered her, he looked to the waiter and
told him that they'd need a few minutes before they order. As told, the waiter
left Trunks and Pan.
He sighed and tried to think of a way to tell her. How am I going to do
this? How can I tell her that I love her but I'm not in love with her? That I'm
actually in love with Marron? Trunks felt a gentle touch, Pan's touch and again
she asked, "What's wrong?" He took a deep breath and held Pan's hand tightly.
"Pan, You know I love you right?" She nodded. "Well the truth is, I'm not
in love with you."
"I don't understand. What are you trying to say Trunks?" Pan's hands began
to shake.
"What I'm trying to say is-"
"You want to see other people. Specifically Marron right?" She looked into
his eyes to search for the truth. And she had found it, months ago.
Trunks was speechless. "H..how did you know?"
Pan bit back the tears; she didn't want him to see her cry. "I've known
for quit some time now. I was hoping that it was only temporary...but I guess I
was wrong." Pan relaxed, sighed and looked down at her hands that overlapped
his. She then looked up into his eyes and forced a smile on her deprived face.
"I hope that you too will be happy together."
Trunks was speechless. He assumed that she would have burst into a flood
of tears and yet, here she was, with the most calmest expression that he has
ever seen. After a few moments of silence, he finally found his voice.
"Pan..." He smiled a smile of relief; all the pressure that he'd felt for
the last few months have been finally lifted.
"Thank you for understanding Pan-chan. It really means a lot to me."
All she could do was give him a smile. She may have looked happy and
cheerful on the outside, but on the inside, her heart was crying out with pain.
