Chapter Five: Briefs Family Reunion
Pan didn't bother to knock on the door of the Brief's family home. She just walked in as if it were her own home. That's how close her family was to the Briefs.
Bulma's voice can be heard from the kitchen. No doubt she and Vegeta were arguing about senseless things again. Pan walked towards the kitchen, with Mirai Trunks behind her. When she entered the kitchen, she noticed that in total, there were only 3 members of the Briefs family present. 'I guess Trunks is still at work. Oh well.' Everyone, except Vegeta, looked up from their meal and happily greeted Pan; however they didn't notice Mirai Trunks just yet.
Bra quickly jumped from her seat and gave Pan a long hug.
"My dende Pan! How long has it been since I last saw you?" She did a mental count. "What, 4 months?" Before Pan even had a chance to answer, Bulma screamed with excitement and quickly got up from her seat and ran straight for Mirai Trunks.
"Ohhh, is that you Trunks?!" Bra frowned at her mother reaction to her brother.
" Mom, of course that's niichan. You act like you haven't seen him in ages." All Bulma did was smile. She then proceeded to give Mirai Trunks a big hug. Then she pushed him back to examine him; see how much he's changed. "Oh, my baby has grown so much! Well, not that you didn't in this timeline, I mean, you're much bigger than the last time I saw you." Bulma turned to face Vegeta. "Look Vegeta, it's Truunnkkss!!" Vegeta just grunted and said, "I know women. I know, now stop pestering me!" He continued to eat his meal with such speed that it seemed like he didn't have any food before him at all. At that comment, Bulma began to get upset again and so she began another one of their verbal combats; forgetting that Mirai Trunks was just there.
Pan just smiled and shook her head. 'Those two are hopeless.' She then looked at Bra, who still didn't understand why her mom was so hyped up about seeing her own brother. Bra crossed her arms, Vegeta style, and began to ponder the thought.
"Nothings different about onnichan. Oh wait..." She stepped closer to Mirai Trunks. "You never had long hair, and your taste in clothing is extremely different." Then as if lighting had struck, Bra finally realized whom he was. "Now I remember! Daddy used to talk about you sometimes. He was always comparing you with my onnichan from this time. Ohh wait 'till you see him! This is going to be so weird. I have two onnichans now!" As if on que, Trunks walked right into the kitchen, standing right next to his future self without even knowing it.
"What's this I'm hearing about two onnichans?" He asked. Bra pointed to Mirai Trunks. Trunks looked to his right and nearly jumped out of his skin. "DENDE!! That's me!" Everyone was quiet for a moment. Noticing that he just made an obvious statement, Trunks tried to cover his tracks. Clearing his throat, he said, "Of course it's me. I knew that."
Pan sighed and began walking out of the kitchen, bypassing Trunks and Mirai Trunks. "I have to get going now. I just remembered that I have to run an errand for dad. I'll see you tomorrow Bra."
"Ok Pan. Oh and just so you know ahead of time, we're going to go shopping tomorrow!" Pan's eyes widen and she began to shake nervously. Her once fear, shopping. Oh how she hated it! She couldn't understand how looking for clothes was more fun than sparring and training. She was about to object when Bra cut her off. "You can't back out Pan. Just think of it as a chance to catch up on all we've missed." She smiled, showing her pearly whites. "I'll see you here at 11AM sharp! This'll be so fun!" With that, she left the kitchen and went to tell Marron about the schedule.
Pan hung her head in defeat. She was about to leave when she heard her name. She looked up to see Trunks standing next to her.
"Can I talk to you outside for a couple of minutes."
Reluctantly agreeing, Pan nodded. Before she left, she called out to Mirai Trunks, "It was nice meeting you Trunks. I mean Mirai Trunks." He smiled at her.
"You can just call me Toran. It'll make things less confusing."
"Ok. Torn. Jaa ne."
"Jaa."
When she finally left, Mirai Trunks realized his parents were still verbally beating each other so he decided to leave them be and headed off to one of the many guest rooms.
Meanwhile, outside on the C.C lawn...
Pan stepped out under the star lit sky and breathed in the sweet fragrance of the air. She closed her eyes for a moment, and then re-opened them.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" She looked at Trunks, who was standing a bit too close for her comfort. 'I hope this isn't about what I think it might be.' Trunks just sighed and looked at the soft, dark grass for a while, and then, at her.
"Do you ever think about us?" Pan sighed at this. She looked away and answered, "Sometimes." She then looked back up at the stars. "I try not to think about it because sometimes...it hurts." She let out a breath that she didn't even knew she held. "But that's all in the past now. Try to forget about it, ok." Trunks shook his head furiously and pulled Pan close to him until their bodies were leaning against each other for support. He held her gently in his arms, afraid that she might break like a china doll if he held her too tight.
"Every time I think about you, it makes me love you even more. I just can't forget about us Pan-chan and neither can you. I know that deep in your heart you still love me. Please Pan-chan, give me a second chance and I swear to you that I will be yours forever. No one else can come between us." He looked down at small, beautiful face; thankful for the garden lights that made it possible for him to see how much more beautiful she'd gotten and how she would react to his feelings for her. When all she did was look up at him, he decided to lean down and kiss those luscious red lips. Just thinking about the feel of her lips against his drove him to insanity. Their lips were so close that he could almost taste her sweet nector. Then, she stopped him.
"Please, stop this Trunks." He saw a tear slid down her soft cheek. She broke free from his grip and stepped back. Now her face was stained with tears. "I...don't...I just can't go through it again. Please, just forget!" Turning, she ran and quickly blasted off into the sky, leaving nothing but a white ki trail. Trunks watched her until she was completely out of site. All he said was, "Pan-chan..."
