T/P lovers... this is for you...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Pan had decided. This would be the day. She would tell him how she felt. She would walk up to him, tell him she had fallen head over heals for him, then kiss him. Right smack on the mouth.

It was after all her eighteenth birthday. She was finally free, and Trunks was single. He had been for a very long time and she was Trunks' type. Unlike Goten, who preferred the gullible, wide-eyed and innocent, Trunks liked his women tough. She was tough and she could be bold. Today would be the day. Pan licked her lips, she had wanted to do this forever. Since she could remember. Now was the time.

Her parents were throwing her a party, everybody would be there. Excitement filling her limbs. She opened the door and flew down the stairs.

"Morning Pan." Turning around, her mother looked at her and seeing the way her daughters' eyes glimmered she smiled "My aren't you in a fine mood today!"

Pan could hardly contain herself. She was nervous, and unsure but she would do it. And she was hyper about it. Still, she couldn't help but ask her mother. She simply smiled and replied nothing. Then "Where's daddy?"

"Oh, he's out... I think he's gone over to your grandpa's house... Don't ask me what for. He didn't say..."

"Oh... Ok... Well mum. I have a question you something..."

Videl turned away from the dishes she had been cleaning. Pan wondered briefly where so many dishes had come from so early in the morning. Then her mind settling on her bleu-eyed hero, pushed the thoughts out of her head.

"Mum... Let's say...That I knew a girl right...and this girl had had a crush on this guy forever and-"

Before she could finish the sentence Videl turned around and without hesitating said

"Your talking about Trunks right?"

Pan reddened "NO! Of course not! I do not like Trunks!"

Her mother laughed "Oh, come on hunny! I know you like him. It's written all over you when you are around him."

Pan looked down "Really?! Am I THAT transparent?"

Videl laughed "Oh, no hunny. It's just... I'm your mum. I know you. I can see you like him. Guys can be quite dumb. Your grandma has noticed, and Bulma is picking on but you dad and grandfather have noticed nothing. Vegeta... Well I don't know, and I don't think he cares..."

Pan looked up "Do you think he knows?"

"Videl looked at her "Who Trunks?"

Pan nodded.

"Well, to tell you the truth... I am not certain. Trunks is not the shy type, but he is definitely not a loud mouth... So it's hard to tell... He wouldn't be embarrassed about it, but wouldn't announce it..."

Pan looked down "Well mum, I'm going to do this no matter what you tell me but... Do you think... Do you think he'll reject me?"

Videl looked away then back at her "I don't know hunny. Trunks is a fine young man... But he is just that... He is 'fine' and 'young' and men will be men. Don't expect too much and remember he is Vegeta's son... Keeping that in mind all I can tell you is don't expect too much and keep safe..."

Pan nodded. "Thanks mum!"

Getting up of the chair where she had sat down, Pan gave her mum a kiss then ran out the door.

Videl shouted after her "Back before 3 Pan! Don't want the party girl to be late!!"
