"Arggh! Stupid Trunks! How could he make me date such losers!" Marron slammed down on a stool at a basement bar.
"What'll it be ma'am?"
"I don't care. Something hard and fast." The waiter handed her a drink and went to attend to his other customers.
'Why'd he do this to me? Bra said he liked me, so why's he setting me up with someone else? And he let Pan leave, he better not like her. No, he can't like her, she's too young. Besides even Pan said that he likes me. I doubt he even sees Pan as a woman. How could he not like me? I'm nice, pretty and sincere And I'm in a bar. '
"Waiter? Here." She handed the man money for the drink she hadn't touched, then left and headed to Pans house. When she got there Bra pulled her aside and spoke with her.
"I want you to help me get together with Trunks. I don't think I can on my own." Bra nodded smiling. "I'll help, but you do know you're competing with Pan in this?"
"I'm not scared. I've got just as good a chance as her." Bra nodded and took her back to Pan's room to discuss what they would do.

"What's all this?" Trunks asked as he stared hungrily at the gourmet meal in front of him.
"You're having a guest for dinner."
"Huh? Since when?" Bra smiled and pulled him to a chair. "Don't' worry about that, you just have to pick, Pan or Marron."
"Pan or Marron? Why them?"
Bra groaned. "Because you're too ignorant to understand anything. Just take your pick and that's your date for the evening." Trunks stared into nothing, thinking about his choice.
Pan's a lot of fun, but so is Marron. Pan is a little too young, so Marron would be a better choice, but I do know Pan better
Trunks turned to Bra with his answer. "Marron."
```````````````
Bra walked into the next room where Marron and Pan waited in apprehension. Bra smiled at both of them "He made his choice, it's Marron." Before Bra had even finished her name Marron had jumped in the air and Pan had closed her eyes tightly. "I'm sorry it wasn't you Pan." Marron consoled her, placing her hand on Pans shoulder. "It's okay." Pan said cheerily, smiling. "Atleast he'll be happy and I won't have to worry knowing he's with you."
"Are you sure?" Marron asked. Pan nodded and pulled her into a hug. "Take care of him kay?" Marron smiled and walked into the next room. Pan could hear Trunks talking to her already. Bra smiled at Pan and invited her up to her room but Pan declined. "Maybe tommorow Bra." Pan smiled again and left the room.
Once her back was turned tears began to swell in her eyes. "No!" Pan told herself. She squezed her eyes tightly to stop the tears which stang her eyes. She wiped them away and held her head high as she walked out of the building and down the street.
'Happiness. Not everyone finds it, but when someone does you should never try to take it away. If they're happy then my disappointment might ruin it. I don't want to do that to either of my friends. Not the ones I love so much. Love No.' Pan shook her head. 'I don't love Trunks, I can't. He's with Marron and she deserves him. I'm sure she loves him and that's okay. '
Pans smile faded and she stopped walking. She gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists, trying to relieve the pain she felt.' It's not okay, but I will be. I have to be.'
Pan collapsed to her knees, leaning on her palms. Tears splattered on the ground beneath her. 'I love him. I do. Why's it have to hurt so much? And why couldn't I realize it sooner?' Pan choked back her sobs but they soon returned. 'Why? Why? It's all over. I have to say goodbye. Goodbye to my feelings, and to him. I took him for granted but now it's all over. I have to For his sake.'
She stood and looked back in the direction of Capsule Corporation. The building where she had always found what her heart desired. The people who lived there were her second family, and it was a home away from home. At least it used to be, but now she knew she could never stay there like she always had. Never face Trunks the way she used to. Now all of that was gone.
The wind began to blow her hair from her face and pulled the tears from her eyes. She let them go freely, with all the felings she held inside.

_ Dammit! I gave up and let Marron win. I guess I had to do it sooner or later or all my stories might end up the same right? I'm still the same Pan and Trunks fan as before, and in my mind this was a T & P fic, just one with a sad ending(or happy if you're a T & M fan). Either way this fic was weird to begin with so it makes sense that the end is very different from my others right?
