Chapter Six: Rescue Me!
Mirai Trunks woke up to the sound of birds humming their morning tune. He lifted his head from underneath the white pillows to check on the time. The clock read 5:30AM. For the first time in a long time, Mirai Trunks was at peace. He actually wanted to sleep in and not deal with any human contact. All he wanted was to drift back into what he called, "the dream world". His head felt so light and fuzzy that he instantly fell asleep once again. That is, until the watch on the nightstand started to scream like his mother. Not wanting to even open his eyes, he continued his sleep. Still half asleep, he thought, '...watch's alarm sounds a lot like mom. It's even yelling with the same tone of voice...' Mirai Trunks opened his eyes a crack and right there on the nightstand was the holographic image of his mother.
He mumbled, "Mom? Is that you?"
"OF COURSE IT'S ME!!" Mirai Trunks winced at his mother's screeching.
"How could you not call me as soon as you got there?! Did you realize how worried I was?! Huh?!" Bulma saw that Mirai Trunks buried his head under the pillows and blankets once again; this upset her even more. "TRUNKS!!!!" A shirtless Mirai Trunks jumped out of bed yet still half asleep, trying to give his mother the attention that she wanted. Before he was fully awake, he had to yawn and stretch as any man would. His hair was such a mess that it seemed as though it was a bird's nesting place. He sighed. Now fully awake, he was ready to tell his mother the previous events.
Meanwhile, downstairs...
Pan quietly stepped into the Briefs home, making sure she wasn't making too much noise. She was already dressed in her blue cut-off jeans that matched perfectly with her white tank top and white tennis shoes. Ironically, there was no morning chill or anything of that sort. The temperature was just, normal. Pan wasn't looking where she was going and almost knocked down a vase that was near the stairs. She sighed with relief when she caught it just in time before it fell. She tried to remain as quiet as possible. Mainly, she just hoped Trunks wouldn't wake up yet. After what happened last night, Pan wasn't sure if she could face him, at least not yet. She had just about gotten over him, but after what he said last night, she was beginning to have second thoughts. In her heart, she knew that she still loved him and yet she couldn't bring herself to go back to him. To be held in the arms that saved her life countless of times before...
Mirai Trunks came walking down the stairs wearing a sleeveless black t-shirt that clung to his muscular physic, dark gray sweat pants and a pair of his usual orange combat boots. He was happy to know that Pan was downstairs, at least now he had company. He felt her ki awhile after he was through explaining to his mother about the time machine. When he saw Pan at the foot of the stairs, just standing there and not moving, he began to worry. As he got closer, Pan still didn't move. In fact, he didn't think that she sensed his ki at all. Mirai Trunks was about three steps away from Pan when he decided to break her trance of thought.
"Ohayo Pan." She immediately looked up at the sound of his voice.
"Trunks! Oh, I mean Torunks-kun. I didn't know you were up already." Mirai Trunks smiled.
"I'm always up around this time."
"Really? That's how I am too. It's always been that way for me, for as long I can remember." There was a moment of silence. The only thing that could be heard was the humming of Vegta's gravity room. Pan looked at her wristwatch. 6:15AM. 'Oh no, he's...' Pan looked past Mirai Trunks to see that Trunks was now awake and ready for work. By the look on Trunks face, Pan could tell that he was surprised to see her, more or less surprised by the fact that she was still at the foot of the stairs, with Mirai Trunks just a few steps away.
"Ohayo Pan-chan. I thought you weren't suppose to meet Bra until 11 o'clock." He looked at his watch. "Its 6:18 now." Pan didn't even know what to say. She didn't even know what possessed her to come there in the first place. She quickly tried to think of an excuse. "Well..I uh..."
Seeing how Pan was in need of help, Mirai Trunks decided to come to her rescue.
"I asked her to come. She promised to show me around, seeing as how I'm actually 'new' in this dimension." Pan just looked at Mirai Trunks and smiled. She then replied, "That's exactly it! I made that promise yesterday and I don't intend to break it either." Pan grabbed Mirai Trunks' hand and dragged him out of the house, calling back, "See you later Trunks!!" Trunks stood in the open doorway and watched as his beloved ran off with his other self. Then he chanted to himself over and over again as he made his way to the limo, "There is nothing between them. Nothing between them..."
At the Park...
Mirai Trunks and Pan walked side-by-side in silence, enjoying the sweet fragrance of the newly bloomed blossoms of the Cherry Blossom trees. Pan stopped in the middle of the bridge that crossed over the little pond. She sighed and leaned forward, looking at the large kois' that were just waiting to be fed. Mirai Trunks cleared his throat.
"So, what is it between you and Trunks anyway?" He looked at Pan with a look of curiosity. He could sense that she was feeling a bit uncomfortable so he was about to tell her to forget about what he had just asked but before he could, she answered him.
"Trunks and I used to date." Mirai Trunks was a bit surprised at that.
"So what happened?" Pan took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
"His heart no longer belonged to me. His infatuation with another woman forced us to break apart."
"Just like that?"
"Just like that." Mirai Trunks didn't know what else to say. He was just speechless. The tone in her voice gave a hint of sadness, he instantly regretted asking her what he did. Pan noticed this and just smiled.
"You don't have to worry. I actually feel better now. The funny thing is, I don't even know why." Mirai Trunks let out an uneasy breath and just continued to look at the blossoms. Pan on the other hand, giggled. When he looked at her, he saw that she was staring at him. Trying her best to contain the laughter that threatened to take over.
"What is it?" He noticed that she was pointing at his head. Mirai Trunks was now confused. "What?" When he touched his head, a blue bird quickly flew away. Pan couldn't take it anymore and just burst out laughing until she had tears in her eyes. He himself burst into frits of laughter. When he finally managed to stop, he touched his hair to make sure the blue bird didn't leave a 'gift' for him. Seeing this, Pan levitated just a little above him and checked his hair herself. All he could do was smile.
"Arigato." Pan just smiled down at him.
"No problem." After her examination with his head, she came to the conclusion that he had nothing to worry about. No 'gift'.
"Arigato, Toranuks-kun. You know, about earlier. He smiled at her.
"Your welcome."
She then levitated back to the ground where she stood only to the height of his throat. Pan pouted. "I feel like a midget now."
Mirai Trunks laughed at that. "But you look so cute that way." Both he and Pan were shocked by the words he had just said. They both blushed. Feeling extremely embarrassed, Mirai Trunks cleared his throat and said "We should head back now." Pan agreed with him completely.
"Right. Lets go." The walk back to C.C was in complete silence.
