Chapter 15
Pan and the Beast had been sitting under the cherry blossom tree reading together for hours. They were both enjoying themselves very much and it showed in their smiles and happy faces and expressions.
"That was an amazing book Pan." Trunks said holding it in his large paws.
Pan smiled, "I can't believe we got through Romeo and Juliet in one day. You picked up on how to read so fast, I must say I'm impressed Beast."
Trunks looked over at Pan and grinned, "Thank you Pan."
~~Over at Pan's cottage~~
Mr. Satan had not been the same since he returned from dropping Pan off at the castle. Cristina, Lora and Catherine were also not as cheery as they used to be, yet still life went on for the four. Yet everything was about to change when there was a knock at the door, Lora's was cooking in the kitchen and wiped her hands on her rag skirt and opened the door. Lora's eyes widened when she saw who it was.
"K-Kamon? What are you doing here?"
Yes it was none other then Kamon Pan's admirer from childhood, for two years he has been asking Pan to marry him but every time she said no.
"Hello Lora I came to see if Pan was here, I would like to speak with her. I haven't seenher in town for nearly a month." Kamon said looking devilishly charming and concerned at the same time. Kamon was after all the most eligible bachelor in the town and the most wanted.
"Pan…is no longer here." Lora said nearly choking on her own words.
Kamon's brow furrowed at what Lora had said not understanding what she meant by that, "What do you mean by not here?"
Lora sighed regaining her composure, "I said she's not here and that's exactly what I mean, she's not here anymore Kamon she's gone."
Kamon began growing slightly angry that he was not told this earlier, "Where did she go to?"
Lora looked at him annoyed, "She went to a castle…wait no that's not right…what I meant to say was that she went to go see some relatives that live in another kingdom."
Kamon looked at Lora almost not believeing what Lora was telling him, "Is that so?"
Lora rolled her eyes, "Yes Kamon it is. SO I suggest you go find another girl who would be more then willing to become your wife."
Kamon stood their with a smirk, "I will find her, for something tells me that she is not where you say." With that Kamon turned and began to walk away before Lora could say anything else to him.
"What a fool." Lora then closed the door.
~~Back at the castle~~
"So Pan now I know you have a favorite place in my castle, I am delighted." Trunks said with content in his deep voice. Pan smiled.
"It's hard to not have a favorite place here, everything is so beautiful and amazing…I just…well I just wish that my family could be here to see how beautiful everything here is." Pan said with a bit of sadness lacing her voice.
Trunks knew Pan had become sad and he didn't know what to do and that angered him for he didn't like to see Pan sad, he enjoyed seeing her happy and lively, he didn't know why he felt like that but all he did know was that he did feel that way, and he liked it.
"Pan…?" Trunks began to ask.
"Yes?" Pan replied.
"Would you like to have a special time everyday where you and I could read a new book right here?" Trunks said sounded as sincere as ever. Pan felt very touched by the Beasts request, it almost brought a tear of joy to her eye to see this other side of him, she found it amazing how many new sides to the Beast she was seeing everyday and she liked every side so far.
"Yes Beast, I would love to do that, in fact tomorrow I will bring a special book for us to read together." Pan said with a delightful smile.
Trunks smiled back, "Great, I look forward to our next reading time."
"As do I." Pan replied.
With that the two left the garden and headed back into the castle.
*~*~*~*
"I feel that a new hope has just risen up from the ashes." Videl said with a smile as she watched Pan and Trunks walk away from the garden together.
Vegeta humphed, "Perhaps, I'm not holding my breath."
ChiChi looked over at Vegeta, "Why say that Vegeta?"
Vegeta didn't respond, Bra walked up behind the three of them and said, "Too many disappointments."
"True, the other two girls before Pan, grew mad here and one starved herself to death." Videl said sadly, "This girl has a lot of spunk and she has a very open and loving heart, I know she's my daughter."
Bra smiled, "If she is then I say that there is no one better to break this curse then her."
"Do you really think she'll break the curse Videl?" ChiChi asked sounding hopeful.
"I can certainly hope so, but not even I shall feel definite about it, afterall this is a very delicate situation." Videl said sounding a bit sad.
"It'll be alright, we won't stay like this forever. In fact last night I had a dream that we were human again and Trunks and Pan were married that same day. It was all so beautiful." Bra said happily.
"Hey guys what's going on!?" Came a voice from behind them.
Bra turned around and smiled, "Hey Goten, hey Gohan! Where have you two been?"
"We were setting the dinning hall up for lunch." Replied Goten, who had been turned into a black hawk. "Its hard preparing the table with only talons to move things with but after thirteen years you learn." He added.
"Yea, at least the plates and silver wear are enchanted, so they set themselves up, its just the napkins you have to worry about. So…what's been going on?" Gohan asked as he hopped over to everyone. Gohan was a little teacup, matching ChiChi.
"Oh nothing we were just watching Trunks and Pan in the garden." Videl replied.
"Oh really? Anything happen that we should take note of?" Goten asked as he flew over to the window.
"Well they did have a nice time reading together. They are now going to do that everyday." Bra replied.
"Whoa! Trunks reading? And liking it? This Pan girl must really have some kind of hold on him, I mean growing up when we all used to get study lessons Trunks hardly ever picked up a book and when he did it was cause either Vegeta or Bulma made him. He wasn't even that good of a reader." Goten said with a quick flap of his wings.
"This girl is definitely something special." Videl said with pride.
"Ah yes I can see it all now! We'll be human again by midnight!" Said Goku, hopping in on the scene.
"Yea sure Kakarott, and I'm a monkey's uncle." Vegeta replied.
"You are?" Goku asked amazed.
Everyone just laughed except for Vegeta and Goku that is.
"We just got to wait this out no matter how long it takes." Bra said with a sigh.
"Yea well hopefully not to much longer, I'm getting tired of being a teacup and the smallest out of everybody. If we were all human I'd be taller then all of you, except for you dad." Gohan said with a bit of bitterness.
"Yes well at least I got to have my oldest son be like my baby again for a while." ChiChi said hopping next to her little teacup Gohan.
"Mom please," Gohan said hopping away, "I'm married with a kid…who I don't even know about anymore."
Videl smiled, "Not necessarily dear."
Gohan looked over at her, "What do you mean?"
"I think our little Pan is the beautiful young woman with Trunks." Videl replied with a smile and eager to see Gohan's reaction.
"What!? Seriously!?" That girl is our Pan! Our daughter!?" Gohan yelled.
"I think so…from what she told me it seems to fit so far." Videl replied.
"Imagine that." Gohan said with happiness in his voice.
"Yea and to think what that would mean if she breaks the spell and then they marry." Goten replied with a smirk.
"What would it mean?" Gohan and Vegeta asked at the same time.
"Bro you and Vegeta would be in-laws." Goten said laughing. Bra cracked a laugh but held it back and so did everyone else.
"WHAT!?" They both yelled together, "No child of mine will marry that man's spawn!"
Everyone just laughed.
Ok that's it for now! Sorry if it lacked anything but that's all I could do for this chapte without getting into the next chapter! Anyways, please read and review and tell me what you think! I shall try and update soon!
