Trunks's POV

I never would have guessed that something like this could have ever happened. Pan and I were just gonna go out and have some fun, maybe go to the beach or head to a club. We had grown so close over the past couple of years. Everyone teased us. They would say things like, "Don't they make the cutest couple", or Goten's personal favorite, "Sixteen'll get you twenty." Pan was 21, but the joke still made sense to most, considering she's 14 years younger than I am. We all laughed at the jokes, and Pan and I denied every last one of the insinuations that we had anything for each other. But it was a lie. At least on my part.

I suppose I should start this from the beginning. Pan and I were, as I said, trying to decide on going to the beach or clubbing. We had ultimately decided on the club scene. My reason was I wanted to see if anything could possibly happen between us. What better place to do that than in a hot, over-crowded nightclub where we'd be pressed firmly to each other for a majority of our time there. Pan's motives were a bit less romantic. She'd just gotten a new outfit and wanted to show it off. It showed well. But that's beside the point. We spent a good 4 hours at that club. I was a bit jealous. She had what seemed like mile upon mile of men lined up to get a dance with her. Not that I didn't have women crowding around me. I ALWAYS had women crowding me. Pan danced with a couple of the men, but didn't seem to be having a very good time. She must have felt some kind of pity for me as she walked away from her current dance partner to dig through the mob of women around me and drag me out to safety and oxygen. Oh sweet oxygen...Anyways, back to the point. We left the club at about five in the morning. Neither of us the least bit tired. To be honest, I think we were both a bit tipsy. We capsulized my car since driving was out of the question and flew back towards home. We never made it there. We stopped to land on the beach and go for a stroll. I stopped us in the middle of our conversation and pointed to a small white disk in the sky. Pan saw it too and both our eyes went wide as we realized all too late that the orb was getting bigger. No. Not bigger. Closer. It enveloped us completely. The next thing I knew, I was in a dark room. Pan was nowhere to be found. I saw a stream of light coming from the ground and could only assume that it was a door. I stood up and tried to open it. I was a little confused to find it unlocked. Whatever was here either didn't know how strong Pan and I were, or they did and felt no reason to fear us. I was hoping it was the former, but something in my gut told me it wasn't. I started to walk around when I heard a scream. I ran in the direction it came from and froze in my tracks at what I saw. Standing in front of me was a large, muscular being. And in his arms...

"Pan?!?!"
