"So you're ready then?" Trunks asked his hands shoved into his pockets as
he walked. He suggested a walk in the park to lighten her mood. The day was
bright, and the park trail seemed lit with light as the golden beams of
sunlight streamed down through the trees.
Pan smiled. "Yes, any day now, thanks Trunks." She pushed a few stray pieces of hair from her eyes. He was so sweet, she was glad to have a boyfriend like him. What more could you ask for? She planned to move out of her house and get an apartment and thanks to Trunks she'd be getting one faster than she expected.
"Glad to hear it." He replied smiling. He loved it when she was happy, he'd never make her sad again, never. "So what about your friend? He moving in with you?" Pan's face hardened slightly. "I...I...don't know." She found her mind wandering again. She couldn't help it, she felt guilty.
Trunks mentally slapped himself. Once again he'd said something to upset her. Lowering his head he watched as the leaves blew gracefully across their path as they past. She did seem to be depressed lately. But why? Sometimes it was hard to figure her out. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly.
Pan looked at him shook her head. "No, no Trunks, I'm sorry...it's just..." she shrugged. What could she say? She could never tell him about the kiss, she didn't want to hurt him too. She didn't want to hurt anybody anymore.
"Pan..."
"Hm?" she turned to face him. Was he mad at her? Would he find out about that night? He was staring at her, something she was used of by now, but for some reason it troubled her now. Trunks pulled her close planting a kiss on her lips, on she half ignored. Something wasn't right; something was about to happen she just knew it. She pushed away from trunks suddenly, whirling around to face what she had sensed. Her heart fell apart at the scene before her.
"Angel...?" He just stood there, his head down, not moving. Pan mentally slapped herself. Why did he have to show up now? He must have come to her to talk about what happened that night. She would have looked for him earlier but knowing Angel he probably didn't want to be bothered at the time. And besides, she wouldn't have found him anyway. Despite how strong he was or looked, Angel had no ki. She didn't understand it herself. He had one, but it was different, somehow, maybe it had something to do with his past...
Trunks put an arm on her shoulder, and she turned giving him a look that said she needed to be alone. "I'll be over there by the car." He pointed behind him towards the parking lot. Whatever it was that happened between the two friends, it was obvious that it needed to be worked out.
She watched until he had disappeared back down the dirt path before turning back to her fallen friend. "Angel I..."
His head snapped up and his eyes narrowed. The yellow sent shivers down her spine, not of longing or lust, but of fear. "Why didn't you say something?" he spat coldly. The air seemed at a stand still, nothing moved.
Pan shook her head. "Tell you what, Angel you know I tell you everything." What was he talking about? He out of all people should know that best friends never keep things from each other.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about. Is that why you pushed me away?" His voice soften and he slowly let his head drop. The calmness that had surrounded them was broken by a small gust of wind and Pan hugged her arms close to her chest.
"Angel, I didn't mean to, I..." So that was it, she never did get a chance to tell him about her date with Trunks. She had been so excited to tell him about it, but when she got home... So he had seen the kiss, something else to fuel his fire. " Please...let me explain."
Angel chuckled darkly; his sliver locks flowing as he shook his head. "It's a little too late for that Pan." Pan reached out for him as he turned to leave, but Angel spun around, throwing his hand out and releasing and blinding light and a gust of wind from it.
From the parking lot Trunks watched as the light filled the air, coming to the conclusion that their meeting didn't go well he quickly rushed to Pan's side. He found her on the ground, her face tear streaked as she hugged a feather to her chest.
*~*~*~*~*~
Pan snuggled into her covers, trying her best to ignore the bright light streaming in from her apartment bedroom. She'd get up, really, just not now. Sleep would have gladly accepted her if it wasn't for the soft chuckling she heard. Throwing the covers back, her eyes widened at the sight before her. "You look as if you've seen a ghost." He said grinning.
She didn't answer at first, still too shocked. Angel...her Angel sat on the edge of her bed, grinning like no tomorrow. Giggling she jumped up to hug him, tell him how much she missed him. Much to her disappointment the allusion faded away and she was left alone again in her room. Sighing she started straightening her room.
Bra and Marron must be worried about her. That's right, Bra and Marron. They all shared the same large house, or as it was so affectionately called apartment. It had two stories, the first floor consisted of a kitchen, living room, and dinning room, and the second floor held all of their rooms, thankfully with private bathrooms. Without them Pam was sure the house would have turned into a war zone. Her room clean she quickly dressed and headed downstairs, the smell of food calling.
A whole month had past since her last encounter with Angel. She missed him so much, but why? Why had she not seen her feelings for him before? It was then she realized that her feelings had always been there. The way she'd stare, the way she'd pick with him, or when she told him he looked nice. From the stairs Pan wandered through the living room, waving to Marron as she passed through and into the kitchen.
Bra looked up at her with a sly look on her face. "Sleep well?" She taunted as she fixed her friend some breakfast and sat down across from her.
"Fine I guess." Pan answered shoving some eggs into her mouth. She was kinda busy now, couldn't Bra wait just a little bit?
"So, you and Angel still having trouble?" Bra leaned forwards on the table and stared at Pan intently.
"How'd you know?" she snapped as she finished the rest of her breakfast. Was she that predictable?
"Bra shrugged, a smirk on her face. "Oh I don't know...maybe it's because you talk in your sleep."
" Do not!"
"Then how do I know what's going on?" Pan pushed her empty plate away and rested her head in her hands. "What are you going to do?"
I don't know...I love Trunks and he's made me very happy, I couldn't ask for more, but..."
Bra arched an eyebrow. "But...?"
"But I don't think I could love him as he loves me, not after what happened between me and Angel." Pan admitted. There, she'd said it and it felt good. Bra nodded, she knew about the kiss, of course she would know, she knew just about everything that happened to her roommates.
"It's funny, not that you think about it. The tables have turned." Bra giggled. "Trunks just have to realize that he lost his chance to have you, someone else has stepped up. He lost his along time ago. It's obvious that you two love each other. Haven't you noticed that every time something has happened to you he's always been there and it brought you closer together?
Pan nodded. It was true, every time from the first time Trunks hurt her, to her and Bra's fight at the mall, to Trunks bet at the party...it has brought them closer. "Bra, I gotta go, I got to find him." She said suddenly.
Bra started at her for a while. That was something she was not expecting. "If that's what you want." The girl shrugged. She was happy for her friend; at least she had found someone that wouldn't hurt her repeatedly.
Pan got up to leave, but stopped and sat down once she realized something. "But, I don't know how to find him, he can't be sensed."
Bra giggled and shook her head. "That's easy, if you really love him, your heart should lead you to him, not your saiyan powers or any machine." Pan nodded, running a hand through her hair. This would take a little thinking...
Topazia: I hate to admit it, but this is coming to an end. It was fun while it lasted. ^^ Thanks again for the reviews. I had fun reading them.
