~*~
"Why am I doing this again?" Trunks groaned.
"I will bake you a cake every month for as long as you want." Pan grinned.
"Make that every week." Trunks bargained.
"Fine, just hurry up, already." Pan crossed her arms.
"You? A peasant girl? Asking me to hurry up?" Trunks snorted.
"Hello? Do you want your cakes or not?" Pan threw her arms in the air.
"Fine, fine, don't get your knickers in a knot." Trunks grumbled.
Pan snickered and Trunks asked, "What's so funny?"
Pan started laughing, "You sound like my mother."
Trunks groaned, "How did you know that I have an addiction to sweets anyways?"
Pan smirked, "I saw you drooling at the pastries in my uncle's shop that other day."
Trunks grunted, "They looked so good and I was going to buy some, until you came along!"
Pan stuck out her tongue. The two were riding on Trunks' horse back to Pan's house, tempted by the offer of pastries, Trunks has agreed to go and explain to Videl how it all 'his' fault that Pan got into a fight.
"Well, at least you're gonna be out of trouble, I'm still in way over my head." Trunks mumbled.
"What do you mean?" Pan asked.
"Well, my father wants me to get married, but I don't want to unless I love the person, but you see, I don't love anyone, therefore I can't get married." Trunks sighed, "But I'm going to turn 30 soon, and that's when a prince is supposed to get married."
Pan looked shocked, "Wow, I didn't know that even the royals had dilemmas, I always pictured you guys as the ideal family, with no problems or worries."
Trunks laughed, "Are you kidding? We're just like an ordinary family, except much more complex."
Pan said sarcastically, "Well, that made a lot of sense, and what do you mean, you don't love anyone? I always thought that princes had their picks of women."
Trunks sighed, there was only one woman that he ever wanted, and that was Celeste, somehow, after they've met in the plains of the apple tree, he and Celeste became friends, er, debate partners. He would go and meet her there every Wednesday afternoon and they would lay underneath the tree, soaking the warm rays of the sun, they could talk about anything comfortably, it was like they were destined for each other.
Pan interrupted Trunks' thoughts, "Hello? Earth to boxer boy? We're here!"
Trunks snapped, "Don't call me that!" and they jumped off his horse.
Pan ran up to the large brick house and rang the doorbell, Videl answered the door and hugged Pan really hard, "Oh, Panny, I'm sorry, I didn't mean those things I said. I was so worried about you!"
"Uh? Mom?" Pan gasped for air, "You're choking me!"
"I'm sorry, I- Oh!" Videl noticed Trunks, standing awkwardly beside his horse, "You brought a little friend! Well, hello there! Come on in!"
Trunks looked around him until he realized that he was the one that Videl had called 'little friend'. He didn't know whether he should go in to Pan's house but Pan dragged him towards Videl, she hissed into his ear, "Explain! Now!"
Videl gave a cheery smile, "So how long have you two known each other? Panny? How come you've never mentioned this gentleman before?"
Pan and Trunks both laughed at the same time, Pan laughed because Videl had called Trunks a gentleman, and Trunks laughed because he heard Videl call Pan, 'Panny'.
"Pretty cute nickname, Panny." Trunks snorted.
"Pretty small brain, boxer boy." Pan snorted back.
Videl clamped her hands together, "My, such good friends already, come in and have dinner with us, I insist!"
Trunks went back to his old annoying princy self, "My, Pan, is this your mother? I thought she was your sister."
Videl giggled and lead Trunks into the dining room.
Pan sighed and shook her head, "Damn that prince."
As they sat down for dinner, the doorbell rang. Videl went to get the door and Pan was left at the table with Trunks, "Your mom is a fantastic cook, even first-class royal chefs couldn't cook such fantastic food."
Pan smiled, "Thanks, but don't tell her that, she'll take it as an insult."
Trunks raised a violet eyebrow, "Oh? How come?"
Pan saw her mom coming back to the dining room and quickly said, "I'll explain later, but whatever you do, don't tell her that you're a prince."
Trunks nodded, "I wasn't planning to scare the living daylights out of her, anyways."
Pan glared at Trunks, who smiled at her innocently.
Videl smiled, "Panny? Marron's here."
"Oh!" Pan got up from her chair and ran to the door, "Hey, Marron, what's up?"
Marron gave Pan a big hug, "Oh, Panny, I was so worried about you! Your mom told me what happened when I came over earlier and I looked all over for you!"
Pan smiled, "Sorry, Marron, but I'm back now, anyways, have you had dinner yet? If not, would you like to have dinner with us?"
Marron smiled, "That sounds great, Pan, but is it okay with your mother?"
"Of course," Pan laughed, "She was the one that said, 'my house is your house'."
Marron grinned, "She's nice."
Pan shrugged, "I guess." Marron hit Pan on the shoulder and they walked, laughing, into the dining room.
Videl and Trunks were engaged in a deep conversation about, to Pan's horror, herself.
She coughed, "Ahem."
Videl and Trunks both looked up. And Trunks gave a grin. Pan crossed her arms, "So, what bad things have you said about me?"
Trunks gave an innocent look, "Why, Panny, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."
Pan pointed her index finger at him, "Yeah, right, you've probably been saying how mean and bossy I am."
Trunks smiled, "Now that you mention it, I was going to-"
Videl interrupted him, "Pan! Don't scare away your boyfriend!"
Pan turned deep red, "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
Trunks smirked, "She wished I was, though."
Pan stomped up to him and hit him on the head with a rubber chicken that just happened to be laying on a shelf on the wall of the dining room.
"Owww!" Trunks rubbed his head, "That was mean and uncalled for."
Videl had a dreamy look in her eyes, "You two are exactly like Gohan and I when we were young."
Pan looked horrified and Trunks whispered to her, "Who's Gohan?"
"My dad." Pan whispered back. Now it was Trunks' turn to look horrified.
Pan suddenly noticed that Marron was still standing behind her, so she cleared her throat. "Trunks, this is my best friend, Marron. And Marron, this is my 'friend' Trunks."
Marron looked for some reason, to be in a daze, and Trunks stood up and stuck out his hand, "Hi, pleased to make your acquaintance, my name is Trunks."
Marron was still in a daze when she shook his hand, "H-how do you do, I'm Marron."
They all sat down when Videl suddenly said, "Trunks? Did you know your name is the same as the Prince's"
Trunks said, "I am the-" Pan kicked his leg under the table, rather hard. "Owww!"
Videl raised an eyebrow, "I am the owww?"
Trunks corrected himself, "Sorry, I do know that my name is the same as the oh-so-noble-and-wise- prince's."
Pan fell on the ground laughing. Videl raised her eyebrow again, "Pan? Have you always acted this weird, or is it because you are nervous in the presence of your boyfriend?"
Pan stood up and stopped laughing, "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!"
Trunks said, once again, "But you wish I were."
Pan stomped over to him again and wacked him on the head with the rubber chicken.
Trunks complained, "Owww!!! Why do you have a rubber chicken there, anyways?"
Pan smirked, "That is none of your business."
Videl said, "I think you should tell him, Pan, since he is going to be your husband someday."
Pan gasped in horror, "I'd rather die! And mom? Why are you sounding so much like Grandma Chichi?"
Trunks winked at her, "Oh, you little joker, you know that you can't resist me."
Pan, who still had the rubber chicken in her hand, wacked Trunks again, and again and again.
Trunks rubbed his head, "Owww! Panny, could you stop hitting my head!"
Pan yelled, "Don't call me that!" And she hit him again.
Trunks covered his head, "Please Panny, stop!"
Pan glared at him, "You just never learn, do you?" Whack, whack, whack.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry, Panny!" Whack, whack, whack.
"Okay, Okay, Pan! Are you happy now that you've caused me permanent brain damage?
"Yes, I am." Pan was about to put the rubber chicken away when Trunks had to open his big mouth again and say.
"But, you know, Pan, if you want me that bad, you could always-" Whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, "Alright, alright, I'll" Whack, "Owww! I'll shut up now!"
Videl, once again, had a dreamy look in her eyes, "Yup, exactly like Gohan and I, I still remember the time when he-" She trailed off.
So, through the midst of Videl talking to no one in particular dreamily about herself and Gohan and Pan wacking Trunks on the head with a rubber chicken. No one noticed Marron, who still had a dazed look, and she couldn't take her eyes off Trunks.
