"So…"

"Yeah…"

Okay, this is going absolutely nowhere. Pan sighed inwardly, then took a deep breath, and asked, "Okay, so lunch is out… how about dinner?"

Trunks smiled. "Sure. Dinner sounds just great. How about the Silver Star Palace? I'll pick you up at 8:00. Oh, by the way, my name is Trunks."

"I know," Pan answered. Then, when she realized how that sounded, she amended quickly, "I mean, you're pretty famous. Anyway, I live at Son Industries."

The lavender haired man nodded. "I know. You're pretty famous too," he said with a grin.

Pan blushed slightly. "Okay, then. Great. I'll see you then." With that, she turned and walked away.

"Yeah," Trunks murmured. "Great." Then he headed back to Briefs Inc.

Videl immediately attacked her daughter with a barrage of questions as she walked in the door. "So, how'd it go? Did you have lunch with him? Why are you back so soon? Are you going to have a second date? Is he in love with you yet? Did anything go wrong?"

Pan gave an exasperated little sigh before beginning to answer her mother. "No, Mom, I did not have lunch with him."

"Panny!" Videl scolded. "What are you doing home, then? What went wrong? Get back out there!"

"You didn't let me finish, Mom. I'm having dinner with him tonight."

"Oooh! Dinner!" Videl smiled happily and clapped her hands. "Where?"

"Um… the Silver Star Palace, I think he said-"

"Wow!" Her mother interrupted her. "That's a really nice restaurant! We'll have to go shopping again… you'll need a new dress, and oh, shoes… we'll have to get you some nice perfume, get your makeup and hair done at that salon…" As Videl went on, Pan just stopped listening.

Ugh. She thought. Just how am I going to survive?

Hehehe… okay, people, I'm sorry I didn't update sooner… it's just that I worked on Night Shadows on Friday and Saturday and Sunday I was busy. And I apologize for the super-short length of this one. Homework and all, and it seemed like a pretty okay place to stop…

Next Time: Will Pan survive Pre-date preparations? And what's this Curling Iron of Painful Doom all about? We shall see. As always, tell me whatcha think!
