Chapter 3
As soon as the bell went for lunch, Pan raced out the door, put her stuff in her locker, and ran out of the school. She ran for a few blocks then jumped into the air and flew as quickly as she could to the rock pools. She hadn't thought about anything but Trunks all English lesson (probably the reason why she got in trouble for not paying attention again). Bra had believed her story about being kept in, and she was going to go and watch the football game on the oval (more like the guys watching her…he he).
Pan got there in record time. Trunks was already there, and stood up when he felt her ki approaching. She landed and they stared at each other for a while. Trunks sat back down on the rock, and motioned her to sit with him. She sat down next to him, both not knowing what to do next. Trunks broke that trend by taking her hand in his, then smiling at her.
"So…" Trunks started.
"Yeah…"
"Do you really feel the way this rock says that you do?" Trunks cursed himself in his head at his stupidity.
"Yes…" Pan paused for a moment. "Do you?" She asked as she turned her head, coming face to face with him.
"Yes…for a long time now…" Their faces were only centimetres apart.
"Well, what do we do about it…?
"This." Trunks leant forward even more and their lips touched. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. "I haven't stopped thinking about you for…ages, especially since I got back yesterday…"
"Ditto." Pan leant her head on his shoulder, and Trunks wrapped an arm around her waist. They lay here for a few more minutes before Trunks spoke again.
"How come you knew I was here last night?"
"I came here this morning and someone else's footprints were here, then Bra said this morning that you left the house at about the same time I flew over it. So I put them together, and I got you!"
"Hmmm, smart hey…" Trunks kissed on the forehead, and Pan leant back into his embrace. A warm feeling came over her, everything was gonna be fine now, he knew she liked him and vice versa. She smiled and just lay in Trunks' arms.
Time passed quickly and it was time for Pan to go back to school. She didn't want to leave him, and he didn't want her to leave…but she had to. She dragged herself away from his embrace and kissed him on the forehead.
"I have to go back now…"
"Ohhh! No fair!" He whined.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to leave either, but your sister will get suspicious."
"Ok then" They kissed for a few moments.
"How bout we meet later tonight? Maybe go shopping?"
"That sounds great!"
"Meet me at my window at about 8pm, ok?" She didn't give him a chance to respond by placing her lips over his. "Love ya!" She turned around and flew off.
Trunks sat there, dumbfounded. We're going on a date? Wow. I hope no one finds out about us. There'd definitely be some people who'd object to it! He picked himself up off the ground where they had been sitting and flew off home in a state of amused wonder.

Pan got back to school just as the bell rang. Her heart was beating faster than she was flying. She landed behind one of the buildings and sprinted to her locker, then to maths, where Bra was already waiting for her.
"What took ya so long? Where were you?"
"I told you, at an extra lesson!"
"Oh yeah, but why were you so late?" Bra eyed her suspiciously.
"We were finishing up, then I had to get my stuff out of my locker, then I had to go…you know…"
"That's why you are all flushed in the face! HAH! FLUSHED!!" Bra started to giggle hysterically. Pan rolled her eyes backwards.
"You idiot"
"You're the idiot! I'm just insane!" Bra said, though her giggles.
"Sigh" Pan hoped that that silly argument had made Bra forget about her flushed face. The fact was, all she could think about was Trunks. Trunks and her date with Trunks tonight. Trunks….She was off in a dreamland.
"Pan?" Bra clicked her fingers in front of her face. "Pan?!?" Pan didn't notice. I wonder what she is thinking about…or who maybe? Bra gave up getting Pan's attention and got on with her work.

When Pan got home, she raced upstairs and started to fix herself up. She had a shower and washed her hair, then she went to her wardrobe, wondering what she would wear.
"I don't know what to wear!" She exclaimed just as Goku walked past.
"Wear to what, Pannie-chan?"
"Oh…hi granddaddy! I'm going out to…a movie…with my maths study group tonight. I was just about tell dad that I'm going."
"Really, maths eh, never understood it myself. Oh well, have fun!"
"Thanks granddaddy!"
"I'd better be going. Your Grandma's walking around with a frying pan again. I don't know why, it might have something to do with me, though. BYE!" Pan sighed. What had happened to her dad to make him so much brighter than his dad?
