WOW! Two chapters in two consecutive days, I'm proud of myself!
Last Chapter's translation is: 'Without Pain You Don't Become Happy.'
Sorry, no lemon on this one. It's just that there is stuff I want there to happen between Pan and another character before the plot progresses. So, without further babbling:
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, or the song in this chapter (Estopa - Bossanova).
Enjoy!

Chapter 5: Yo Me Fuí 'Pa' Tí Derecho Y Así Entraste En Mi Memoria.
"Hello?"
"Pan! Listen, I want to talk to you, let me take you out."
"O...K..." said Pan unsure of what was going on.
"I'll be there in an hour." As suddenly as he called, he hung up the phone.
Kalid led her to a breath-taking site. It was a lake at the outskirts of the city. As they landed he took her hand and both walked down a long deck where one could see all the city lights as well as the moon reflected on the surface. Pan noticed Kalid was acting a little sweeter towards her than usual. *He must want something. I wonder what it is.* As if reading her thoughts, Kalid looked at her getting ready to speak.
At that very moment, Pan got lost in his chocolate eyes. She never noticed how handsome he really was. *Must be this beautiful place that made me notice.* She thought as she took in his beauty. The light seemed to clash gracefully with his tan skin. And the breeze softly caressed his wavy black hair. He let it grow a little more than an inch and it made a soft resemblance to the waves of a sea at night. He was almost a foot taller than Pan, but it didn't matter *we could still kiss.*
His chocolate eyes triggered Pan's memory. It jogged back to moments she'd spent with Kalid. How he was always a gentleman to her. How he'd be ready to flirt when Trunks was present... *and even when Trunks wasn't there. Come to think of it, I flirted too.* She also remembered the butterflies she got in her stomach whenever she saw Kalid. The feeling was so strong tonight, it felt more like birds in her stomach. *Wait, flirting, butterflies...I know what this means.* Yes something in her body called out to Kalid.
*Those eyes,* she thought *Why can't I stop staring at them? Why can't I stop thinking about those eyes lately?* Then something clicked inside of her mind. *I have feelings for him? But what kind of feelings?* This was no time to think about this. He was talking to her and she had no clue what he had just said. *I should probably pay attention now.* She laughed mentally at her realization and her brain came back to Earth.
"...So yeah Pan, what I've been meaning to tell you is that I like you. A lot. And I want to try it out." He said carefully. "Of course, if you want to, that is."
He looked at her waiting for an answer. Pan pretended to be confused; she wanted him to ask the right question.
"So the point is," he continued, "Will you be my girlfriend?" As he asked the question he came closer to her and his hands softly circled her hands.
She responded by intertwining her fingers with his. Then she stretched her neck, perked her head up and slowly closed her eyes.
Time seemed to slow down before their lips found each other. Kalid softly nibbled on her lips and Pan just tasted the sweetness of having someone who cared about her like Kalid did. However he wasn't ready to admit it just yet.
*Score!* Kalid pulled away to hug Pan and whisper to her ear: "I'll take that as a 'yes'." Pan only hugged him tighter.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
So what's going on with Bra and Goten? Oddly enough, they were able to work their differences with a cruel April Fool's joke that Bra played on Goten with the help of Pan and Kalid.
~Flashback Bra's POV~
It's very beautiful outside; it's a perfect day to pull this prank on Goten. It's time he tasted a bit of his own medicine.
My, er, Pan's plan has to work; it's.what is that word?.perfect!
Goten's here! That's just the way he rings the doorbell. Ok. Here we go. I go to the kitchen where Kalid is waiting for me. I rush into the kitchen before Goten reaches it; I know that's the first place he goes to. I start flirting with Kalid who is a really good actor, by the way. I draw little patterns on his chest as I talk sweetly to him about doing something later. In the meantime, Kalid acts nervous, again, he's really good. I hear a very low creaking sound. Goten's here.
"What's going on?" I hear him say. I pretend not to hear him and I whisper something in Kalid's ear. I giggle mentally as I feel Goten's power increase. He thinks I'm being naughty! Now I laugh mentally. When I whispered to Kalid, I was only asking where Pan was. Kalid whispers back in my ear replying that he doesn't know. Again I pretend to be naughty and giggle, this time out loud to make sure Goten hears me.
Whoa! Now I hear Goten growl. I look at Kalid and he looks pretty scared. I dare to turn around and see a blond, aqua-eyed Goten. Now I get nervous. He growls some more. I start walking towards him not sure this was a good idea after all.
"Now how does it feel Goten?" Wait, is that Pan? Good Kami! Good timing!
Before Goten could do anything drastic, Pan explains the 'joke' and why we did it. To my relief, he decides to come clean and explains what really happened.
"O K. I forgive you, if you forgive me." I try to work out a deal.
I'm very relieved to hear him say "Truce." We hug tenderly, while uncomfortable Pan and Kalid leave the room.
~End of flashback~
It was the beginning of May now, when the yearly Capsule Corp get-together was approaching. In other words it was party time! Bulma and Bra were more than happy to organize the party from the food to the decoration to the invitations; they put it all together and were damn proud of it. Bra was especially excited about dressing Pan and herself up. Pan was Bra's very own life-size-doll-who-was-actually-alive.
The party was tonight and both Pan and Bra had already chosen their dresses. All they had to do now was actually get pretty for all the people that would be looking at them tonight. Bra made Pan promise that she was going to come early in the afternoon to get ready and perform emergency make-over stunts if needed.
Pan touched down at Capsule Corp with her bag hanging on her shoulder, with her other arm, holding her dress carefully. On the way to the door she bumped into Vegeta and Trunks.
"Brat." Vegeta greeted.
"Hey Vegeta, Trunks." Pan was definitely in a good mood today.
"Hey Pan! How's it going?" Pan's happiness was contagious. *Why would you want to be mean to such a pretty girl anyway?* Trunks thought.
The two demi-saiyans talked for a while catching up on their lives. Then Trunks decided to pop the question.
"So any new guys?" He asked smugly, sure Pan was still hanging on him.
"Actually yeah. And he's a great guy." *What are you doing Pan!?!* She scolded herself, *you like, no, LOVE this guy!*
"Oh really?" *she FORGOT about ME!?!* "And who might he be?"
Pan seemed to notice a twinge of jealousy in his voice. She stared suspiciously at him for a brief moment and replied: "Kalid." Before he had the chance to say anything she quickly said Bra was waiting for her and hurried to the house.
As Pan was walking to Bra's room she couldn't help it but to smirk in a way only Vegeta did. *Trunks was jealous.* she thought, smiling even more.
Pan wanted to tell Bra the Trunks incident but *she'll give me a speech about loyalty now that she learned her lesson with Goten, and now that Trunks is with Marron, and I'm with Kalid.* Thus, she decided against it. She thought it better to make Bra happy tonight and be her model for the latest make-up and hair trends.
After several of hours of hair-dryers, curling irons, foundation, eye- shadow, lipstick, and gossip Bra and Pan stared each other down for any imperfections. After finding none, they looked in the mirror and finally sprayed some Mambo on their wrists and hair.
(A/N: Mambo by Liz Claiborne is a perfume, my second favorite after Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. ^_^)
Bra had to go to the ball room to meet the guests who already started arriving. Since Pan had nothing to do at the moment, she decided to go surprise Kalid. She started for his room, and guess who she bumped into???
"Pan!" Gaped Trunks in disbelief. *WOW. When did she start to look more.grown up? And why wasn't I notified about it?*
"Trunks.hey! You look nice tonight.Bet Marron is going to like it." *Marron? Why am I talking about her?*
"Oh, yeah, Marron! Well things aren't going good lately." *What am I saying? Things are going just fine with Marron!* "You look gorgeous." *gorgeous? Where did that come from?* "Say, maybe later you could give me a dance." *a dance? Well I am a pretty good dancer. She better say 'yes'.*
"UH, I have to go.to the bathroom!" *Did he just make a hit at me? Great move Pan! He's finally interested in you and you blow him off.*
Trunks stood in the hallway in utter disbelief. He was turned down by Pan !?! Pan of all people who supposedly was 'hopelessly in love' with him!!! *Ughh! Marron wouldn't have liked my move. OH! That's right! Have to pick her up!"
Kalid heard a knock on the door, almost immediately the door opened. He looked like a deer in front of headlights. And for a moment he was sure Pan was the one. Pan saw his scrutinizing eyes; she smiled softly and tucked a curled strand behind her ear enticing Kalid's senses even more.
Pan was wearing a dark blue spaghetti strapped dress. The straps crossed several times in the back. The upper part of the dress clung tightly to her curves and the lower part was loose and had a slit along her left side that reached her mid-thigh. Half of her hair was up in a pattern of small braids and rolls, which were all gathered at the back in a messy bun. Several curled strands fell to frame her face. To finish it all, she wore a thin necklace with a small diamond, a generous gift from her grandfather Hercule.
"You look very good!" Pan approached Kalid and gave him a soft peck on the lips. Kalid finished slapping some perfume on his chest, put his blazer on and extended his arm. "Shall we go?"
Pan saw her family gathered in a large table close to the buffet table. *They're the Son family all right!*
She and Kalid decided to get something, or a lot of something's to eat! After the whole family was satisfied-which took all the food on the buffet table times two; they were joking around and having a great time. A tune familiar to Pan started to play. She realized it was her favorite ballad and remembered it was great mellow song to dance to.
Again, Kalid seemed to read her mind. He stood up and politely asked her to dance seeing that Gohan was staring him down. *Kalid reads my mind a lot.* Pan thought to herself while they walked to the dance floor.
Some time into the song, he looked sweetly at her. He then placed Pan's hand behind his neck and he placed his own hand on Pan's back thus holding her tighter.
Pero si me dejas esta noche yo te doy
But if you allow me tonight I'll give you
Todos los besos que te debo
All the kisses I owe you
Ya se que siempre digo que empiezo a partir de hoy
I know that I always say I'll start from today on
Que luego nunca me atrevo
And then I never dare to
Pero si me dejas yo te canto una Bossanova
But if you allow me, I'll sing you a Bossanova
Y no te voy a dejar ni un minuto sola
And I won't let you alone for one minute
Si te dejas llevar como el mar lleva a las olas
If you let yourself get carried like the sea carries the waves
Hasta las rocas.
Up to the rocks.
Pan suddenly realized why she turned Trunks down earlier today. *I want to be with this man for the rest of my life.* All of a sudden a longing feeling for Kalid overwhelmed Pan.
A similar feeling washed over Kalid. But because he wasn't quite ready to admit it he dismissed it as being.aroused: he did get a good view of her cleavage.
After the song was over Pan walked outside with Kalid in hand. She tenderly looked at him, took hold of his face and kissed him..........Kalid finally pulled away and caressed Pan's cheek. Pan leaned into his hand and closed her eyes.
"I love you." *Did I just say that!?!*
*OH MY GOD! Did he just say what I think he did?* Pan snapped her eyes open and smiled. "I love you too." *Wait, I love him?...Yeah! I love him!*
*I'm ready*
*Me too*
And with that they took off to Pan's house.

Well, I hope this chapter wasn't too boring. Now I definitely promise that next chapter WILL be a lemon. I only hope it turns out good. -_- *sigh* I better get to work on that if I want it to be good.
See Y'all!
