*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Pan 'sighed' and leaned on the glass wall next to Trunks. He had hardly made eye contact with her since they landed on the beach. It was like he knew what she was thinking, and that he knew better to stay away from her.
'Maybe i was being too hard on myself...it isnt Trunks's fault that i'm being so paranoid and infatuated. We used to be so close as friends, like brother and sister. And maybe that is all we will ever be...brother and sister...'
Pan turned to gaze at Trunks...only to find that he was looking at her too! Trunks blushed a little and turned away. Pan felt intrigued and decided to play with his mind a little.
"So Trunks" Pan chimed "I'm not the little girl i used to be ehh?" She half smirked and batted her eyes. She flipped her hair and moved a little closer to him so that he could feel her breath on his neck. She cocked her head to one side and raised her left eyebrow as if in a question mark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks was alarmed...she was so close to him! He widened his eyes and looked down at her. She had a point though, Pan had blossomed in many ways.
She had grown her hair longer, and combed it more often so that it shined and shown through that bandanna of hers. Her eyes didnt really have that bright, mischevious shine in them. They had a darker tone, as if she became more calm and mature. Her legs were shapely and more woman-like. Not as tomboyish and not full of scabs and scars. Her breasts had even grown a bit, and the curves in her body were smooth and hour-glass. Her lips were a bit fuller, and her cheeks now had a rosy complexion in them. Pan was getting older and more of a woman every day.
He couldn't help but think how beautiful she was. When he first bumped into her at her school, he hadn't really noticed. He was probably just too nervous and excited. He remembered all the times he had touched her accidentally, but then backed away quickly...as if the touch had burned him. He also remembered how Pan used to be a little brat and annoyed him all the time. But she seemed so different now. He remembered the long talks they used to have. He had seen how much she'd grown when Pan cried and cried to Trunks about her bad relationship with her boyfriend. He hadn't known how compassionate Pan had become then. He had held her, and rocked her softly while she cried. He was so jealous of her boyfriend before, but then wanted to protect Pan so that no one would ever hurt her again. Every time Pan was hurting, Trunks would feel it too...and it would leave him feeling depressed and alone.
But he shrugged it off easily, like always. He stuck it in his mind that Pan was just like a sister. So instead of kissing her tears away and telling her how much he wanted her that night, how much he needed her, he punched her playfully and told her that she was strong and would find somebody else. And how she was being childish about crying over something so simple. It was the same situation now. Instead of telling Pan how much she'd changed and how much he'd want to hold her in his arms...he turned on some sort of defense mechanism and acted as an older brother. Trying to cover up love with logic.
The dreamy look in his eyes had suddenly turned hard and cold. He looked at Pan once more and made a face.
"Humph" Trunks managed to get out. "You haven't change so much...stop trying to flatter yourself. Your still a kid Pan and i can't believe you still have the stupid bandanna. When are you going to get rid of it? Sure your 'chest' has grown a bit...but still not as much. You should see my latest girlfriend. Absolutely beautiful!"
The glare he got from Pan forced him to look away. He just pretended that he was disgusted with her and all of a sudden became very interested at the closest fish swimming around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan glared at him angrily. 'What did he just say?!' Her eyes blazed a fire and her body stiffened. She backed away from him immediately and turned away. She wanted to punch that disgusted look on his face so badly that she was actually hurting herself trying to keep her arm down.
'THAT BAKA!! I can't believe he could say something like that. And then he even compared me to his latest girlfriend in a way. He has the nerve!!'
But...all of a sudden, as fast as her anger rose...it faded into sadness. She turned away so that Trunks wouldn't see the disappointment in her eyes.
'How could i be so stupid?? Of course Trunks would react that way! He doesn't care for me at all! Only as a sister.'
Over the years Pan had hoped that the dramatic change in her would impress Trunks...and make him fall head over heels in love with her. But she was wrong. How could she be so blind? Trunks had so many girlfriends...and all of them so much prettier than she was. Here Trunks was, his mother being one of the richest and most famous incorporater in the world. He could have any girl he wanted..whether she was a ditz or not, as long as she was beautiful. And here Pan was, nothing but a playmate Trunks used to have when he was young..and now a simple country girl. She had gotten her hopes up too high when she caught Trunks looking at her. 'He was probably only comparing me to his other girlfriend!'
She wiped a tear that started to stream down her face. 'No! I won't stand it! This is the last time Trunks will ever hurt me again. And do you know why? Because I will never fall for him again. Never! Ooo Trunks you baka...you're in for it now.'
Pan nodded as if agreeing to herself. She almost hated Trunks right now...how could he do this to her?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks kept looking at Pan. She had her back turned to him and he wondered why she was standing so stiff. Her head was bent down and she was holding her forehead with her hand
'Oh Kami...what have i done?! ack! i've done it haven't i? Why do i always have to hurt her feelings like that! I didnt mean to sound so mean. Oh man maybe i should say sorry? I was just trying to be-'
Trunks's thoughts were interrupted by a huge pressure in his chest
"Oh kuso!" He said almost out loud. He was getting that feeling again. His heart was pounding and he almost doubled over. It was the same thing as when he was flying. His vision blurred and his knees weakened. He started to sweat and pant heavily. It was so hard to breathe, his heart was in major pain! He fell against the wall for support, clenched his fists, and shut his eyes tightly...waiting for it to pass. Pan must've been so angry with him.
'Uuuugh!! why do i do this to myself!' All Trunks could do at the moment was hold his stomache to keep from gagging...and prayed to Kami that Goten, Bra, and especially Pan wouldn't notice him.
