Oh and also, this chapter is in Trunks POV.and the end is Pan's.if it's good, I might keep the whole fic like this.

CHAPTER 2: A Chance Meeting

"A lot sure has changed, huh Trunks?" I smile, waving off my friend. Looking out of the window, I wave to the adoring businesswomen below, leaving their office. What else can I do? Can I help it that I'm rich, handsome, and women adore me-even enough to throw themselves at me? I'm so self-centered sometimes. Ha! I'm just the luckiest man in the world, now that I think of it. I have everything that most men want-money, fame, fortune, and the "love" and adoration of women. What man wouldn't want that?

*sigh* But, sometimes, I see myself wishing to have a life like Goten there. He married Bra and now, they're going to a child together. Makes me wish that I could have someone like that.someone I could marry-that could have my children. Dende, that would make me so happy! But alas, I am nothing but a mere bachelor.and a bachelor, I shall stay.

"Hey Trunks? Why are you banging you head on the glass like that?" I looked at him, then at my now reddened forehead in the mirror.

"Ow! I didn't even know that I was doing that!" he patted me on the back as my secretary walked through the door.

"Mr. Briefs, Mr. Son-I'm leaving for the night." We simply waved her goodbye. "Oh and remember that you have to go to the CEO International Convention tomorrow at 8 am in Hawaii." I smiled, Hawaii-sun, fun, and more women than you can shake a stick at! My dumbfounded friend looked at me in confusion.

"Um, Trunks.are you ok?" I simply nodded, thinking about women again. That's all that's on my mind now. I pick up my briefcase, taking one quick look into the mirror in my office. Flying through the sky, I let the air beat my lavender locks in different directions, leaving my friend in the office. Seems that my sister has made her daily stop at work.and I'm not the person to really want to see what goes on when they're together. *wink*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Trunks, go and pack your clothes!" I hear my mother yell through the intercom. By the tone of her voice, I can tell that she's arguing with Vegeta again. What? Never heard a child speak of their parents in their formal names?! Well, around here, it happens a lot. Anyway, I'm not listening to her.I've been ready for this trip for a week. *ring* "Hello?" I hear a sweet and cheerful voice on the other end.Marron. She was always like that.sweet and nice in the limelight.but in the bedroom, that's a whole 'nother issue. "How are you?" I hear her speak again.

"Fine.just a little stressed out." I look in confusion, seeing her in my doorway.

She smirked seductively, "I hoped you would say that.I have the best remedy." She closed the door with a slam, locking it behind her. I smile, licking my lips.boy, I've been needing this all week long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yawning, I stretched my arms out.plus covering my eyes from the sun. "Get up! Get up now!" figures, my mother again.always her.and her bodyguard (my father). She threw my covers off, never minding my decorum of dress.

Vegeta just simply smirks.not really saying anything because the woman would cut off his so-called 'privileges.' I reluctantly walk to the shower in all my glory.just like I was born.and close it, hoping that Bulma has the sense that Dende gave her and leaves.

But no, she's still there.with my suit lain out on the bed.waiting patiently for me to get dressed. Well, at least her muscle-bound husband decided to leave. "Mom, can I have some privacy?" she sucks her teeth, folding her arms.

"Now you didn't have the decency to sleep with that girl somewhere else so I'm not leaving.get dressed now!" I squint at her voice, hurrying to get dressed. After everything is finished, I get on my jet.waving at them below. Rubbing my hands together, all I can think about hula girls in Hawaii.maybe I should consider getting into therapy.I'm turning into Master Roshi. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ah, hello Hawaii!" I speak out loud, walking off of my jet. I wink to the welcoming lady, who in return, puts a lai around my neck. "Welcome!" I hear her speak as she kisses my cheek. I walk away, seeing a quite hefty man dressed in a light blue suit wave at me. His green eyes sparkle a little bit in the sun, running his hands through his bleached blond hair.

"Wonderful Mr. Briefs, you've arrived just in time." The man laughed, shaking my hand fiercely. "I'm Mr. Adam Thompson, President of Thompson Enterprises." I nod to him, walking to the hotel. We talk about various things like money, stocks, and most importantly, women as we head inside. I look around at the semi-crowded room, still being led by Adam.

"Well, Mr. Briefs, it looks like convention is starting." He says to me, looking up at the man who stood by the podium.

"If everyone can take a seat, we can begin." With that one sentence, all of the world's biggest CEOs and Presidents were reduced to lowly citizens as they all did what he kind of commanded from them. Me, being too busy thinking about other things, was pulled down sharply by Adam. I hit the chair hard, earning a laugh from my fellow colleges as well as the man on stage.

"Hello and welcome to the 1st annual CEO International Convention." The man began, eyeing the audience. "Before we have brunch, I need to make an announcement." He cleared his throat. "I, Minoki Nadesico, hereby retire my title as CEO and we will now introduce my company's next CEO." He waved at a woman offstage and she walked to him. The lady cleared her throat slightly into the microphone. I eyed the woman, taking in every detail of her-from her black and red streaked hair and her hazel eyes to her tight black skirt and her dark blue collared shirt, which showed off a good bit o' cleavage if I might say.

Taking the woman's hand, he smiled. "I would like for you, Ms. Pan Son, to take over Nadesico Incorporated for me." Whoa, did I hear right from Old Man River?! Was that really Pan? Our little Panny-chan? No! It couldn't be? Could it? She nodded, speaking into the microphone.

"It would be an honor to accept the position as Nadesico Incorporated's CEO." She hugged the old man, the tears streaming down her face as the audience moved to congratulate her. I, for one, am in a state of shock.that was Pan. Bratty, tomboyish Pan. Heh, looks like she traded in her khakis for a mini skirt. "Hey, Trunks man, are you ok? Looks like you seen a ghost."

"I might as well have." I replied, getting up abruptly, walking towards the crowd. I needed to speak to her.after all these years. Looking at her intensely, I could see someone behind her, hugging her around the waist. Could Panny have a boyfriend?

"Ah, wonderful! You made it, Mr. Briefs." The old man said, tapping me on the arm. "Ms. Son here said that she had a friend in the business world but I would have never guessed that she would have known someone as prestigious and popular as you." Ah, flattery will get you nowhere, old man.

I simply shook hands with him as he turned and left. Finally, the old man was gone! I turned to Pan, "Hello Pan, long time no see."
Pan's POV

I smiled seductively, looking at him. Who does he think he is?! "Ditto." I simply replied, walking off. Feeling his energy rise, I can tell that he's angry.well, he can go to hell for all I care! I walk towards the bellboy, beginning to ask for my keys when I feel myself being yanked back by strong hands on my arm. I look up.two blue pools look back at me, quite angrily.

"After 16 years of not seeing or contacting with anyone, all you have to say is 'ditto'?" Whoa! He's mad at me! Well, he started it.and I'm going to finish it.

"It's ironic Trunks." I begin, pushing him against the wall. "That you want me to speak to you, but when I was around, I couldn't get a simple hello out of you!" I look at him.he's speechless. Smiling, I move away from him, brushing myself off.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and get dressed for tonight's formal ball.hope to see you there." I walk away from him, hoping that he's mad at me.but then again, that look in his eye. What was that? Did I see what I thought I saw? Smirking, I open the door of my car.teasing him was going to be fun.it was going to be fun indeed.
