"Can you believe we have only three weeks left here?" Pan asked.
"I know," Trunks agreed, "It went by so fast."
Trunks and Pan were in the kitchen, because Pan was cooking and Trunks was hungry.
"Where's Bra and Goten?" Trunks asked.
"I don't know. Bra wasn't here when I woke up, but my uncle Goten was, but then he left too," Pan replied.
"They'll be back soon, Goten didn't eat breakfast yet," Trunks chuckled.
"Hey Trunks?" Pan asked.
"Yah?" He gave her a weird look.
"What did you mean when you said, 'don't I wish?'" Pan asked.
Trunks smirked, but didn't answer.
"Well..." Pan was getting impatient.
"You said, 'I wish I had a boyfriend,' all I said was, 'don't you wish,'" He grinned.
"But what was that supposed to mean?" Pan asked.
"Well...I don't know," Trunks smirked again.
"Nevermind," Pan rolled her eyes.
"You still didn't answer my question from the other day," Trunks said.
"Nani?" Pan asked.
"About guys, all you said was that you wish. I want to know more," He said.
Pan blushed. "I do like someone though. I care about this person more than anything in the world, but I'm not sure he knows how I feel," She replied.
"Do I know this guy? Maybe I could beat some sense into him?" Trunks laughed.
Pan shook her head, "Maybe you know him, but no, you don't have to hurt him." She sighed.
"Oh," Trunks said, and thought, 'I wonder who it is?'
"Well...what about you? Now that you're a single man you gonna hit the little black book now?" Pan teased.
Trunks laughed, but shook his head.
"Why not?" She asked obviously surprised.
"Panny, I'm twenty-six years old now. Don't you think it's time for me to get serious?" He asked.
Pan nodded.
"I want to look for a relationship, that's going somewhere. Someone to turn to. I don't want to be some old guy like Master Roshi, I want to have a future ahead of me...you know...get settled down...soon."
Pan gave him a soft smile.
"So what are your hopes and dreams?" Trunks asked.
"It's almost the same. Though I'm not even twenty, I don't want to be old lady when I get married. Probably around my mom's age, when she married my dad," Pan replied.
"She was only a few years older than you right?" Trunks asked.
Pan nodded.
"What the kind of girl you want?" Pan asked.
Trunks thought for a moment, "Sure," He started, "The girl I want, is someone who I can tell everything, and she wouldn't be embarrassed by my eating habits either."
Pan laughed.
"She'll be kind, caring, someone who would be supportive of me, and listens to me. I wouldn't want to treat her like she a slave or anything, I want to treat her like the Queen she is. I want to have at least one kid, possibly more, and she'll be the most greatest mom in the world," Trunks sighed by just even thinking about it.
"Why so sad?" Pan asked.
"Because the girl I want doesn't even know I'm alive." He sighed.
"Who wouldn't? You're the most popular, the most eligible bachelor I know; all the girls love you. Whoever this girl may be she is so blind! I mean, hello, you're the richest guy in the world, and the best looking one at that! " Pan exclaimed.
"Thanks," Trunks blushed.
"But then why don't you?" Trunks asked, then mentally slapped himself.
"Nani?" Pan asked, "I'm not sure I heard you right.
'It's now or never," Trunks thought.
Trunks took Pan's hand; she gave him a confused look. "You do know? Don't you, that I'm in love with you, Son Pan?"
Pan was so surprised at his declaration that she pulled back her hand and said, "You do not, Trunks Briefs!"
"How do you know?" He said, "You can't see inside of me or what I'm feeling." The wounded expression on his face made Pan bite her lip.
He walked out onto the balcony. How could she hurt him like that? She turned off the food, and left the vegetables she was cutting.
She walked over to him. "I'm sorry," Pan said. She felt awful. Worse than awful. Terrible. No horrible. "You're right, I don't know what you're feeling. I don't know, but I do know that I'm in love with you too, Trunks Briefs."
He looked over at her with his head down but with his face turned toward hers, looking expectant. "Really?"
Pan nodded. "You're the guy I was talking about. I had no idea I was the one you were talking about."
"You are Panny, and I love you, and I've always had. I didn't know at first, but now I do," Trunks smiled.
"I love you too," Pan hugged him.
Trunks leaned over and kissed Pan, and she melted in his embrace, as she returned the kiss.
