Girl of My Dreams
Chapter 5
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pan woke up a few hours after she had fainted looking a little dazed. I have to say I really felt bad for her because yet again, everyone was crowding around her. I sat next to her bed, holding her hand as if she were in a coma. Even though I knew she had only fainted, I couldn't make myself let go. It was as if I didn't have control of my body anymore. I noticed Dad looking at me with an evil glitter in his eyes and that smirk that's always on his face when he's amused. I'm sure that he thinks that I was holding her hand because she's my "mate," but I'm not…am I? Whatever. I'm sure he is planning something to do to embarrass me about it if it's true.
Anyway, Pan looked around at all of us surrounding her bed and then saw Videl next to her, asking her over and over again if she was okay. Pan moaned and looked away, hiding her face in her hands.
"Okay you guys," I said protectively and perhaps a little harshly, "Pan needs some time to herself now, so go ahead and sit out in the living room. She'll be fine."
Videl must have been in total shock or something, but she didn't argue with me. She must have known there was some truth to what I said. Everyone left the room, and as he was walking out, I heard Dad mutter something about Pan and I needing time to bond. Heh, then I saw Gohan whirl at him and glare at Dad. Well, at least it shut him up! No one wants to mess around with Gohan because who knows when he'll unleash his hidden power at us if we get him mad enough. Though he's kind of lost his edge. Dad says he's weak…But of course he would say that about his rival's son.
"Am I really their kid?" Pan asked me, wanting to hear that these crazy people were not her family.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are. It would be a big coincidence if they're not."
She nodded. "I guess so."
"Gohan and Videl want you to stay here with them…Do you want to? I'm sure they'll calm down after a little while, it's just they have been waiting all your life to get you back."
"Will you stay here with me? At least until they calm down? I don't want to be alone," she said softly, staring a whole in the bed.
"Well," I said, "I guess I could…I don't know if my parents will let me…And I'm sure if I did stay here, my dad would criticize us even more and say we're mating or something." I laughed nervously.
Pan smiled, amused at my nervousness. "I would really appreciate it if you stayed here with me. By the way, your name is Trunks, right?"
I nodded. "Are you ready to talk to me yet?"
Pan wrinkled her eyebrows. "I'm talking to you now."
"Oh, uh, I mean I wanted to ask you a few questions…I was hoping that you would be able to answer them for me. But it's okay if you don't want to…"
She chewed her bottom lip. "Promise to stay with me if I do answer your questions?" she bargained.
I smiled and nodded. "Okay. How do you communicate with me through my dreams?"
"Oh, I've been able to do that my whole life, though not very well, or else you would have been able to understand what I said. I'm working on that though. One time when I was in a bookstore, I read a book on telepathy and so I thought it would be fun to try it, but didn't actually think I could do it. Well, I did. I have telekinesis too."
I nodded. "And what about in my first dream, you said there was nothing wrong with your life, but obviously there is something wrong with it. I mean, if that guy chases you with kitchen knives everyday or hurts you, then I would consider that wrong. What did you do for him to chase you anyway?"
I heard a gasp come from outside the door. It was pretty obvious to me that everyone was listening to us, but I don't think Pan heard anything.
"Well," she said nervously, "I thought I deserved it. And I had burned the dinner I had cooked for us."
"What?! No one deserves to be treated that way for such a stupid reason! You could have just started over, or went out to eat, it's not that big a deal."
She shrugged sadly. "I didn't think so either, but I did some things wrong sometimes and so I thought that I deserved to be punished, but not as bad as I was." A tear escaped her eye.
"It's all right, Pan," I said gently, reaching up to stroke her cheek and wipe away the tear. "You're far away from that guy now and it's unlikely that he'll find you. You should stay here where you belong. Gohan and Videl would never hurt you, not in a million years. They love you too much! You'd be much happier here."
She smiled. "Yeah, they do seem to love me a lot."
"They do!"
"And so do I," I thought out of nowhere. Where did that come from?! Pan looked sharply at me. I felt my face getting hot and could tell that I must have been blushing A LOT.
"What did you say?" she asked. I heard my dad chuckle outside the door.
Well that confused me even more, since I had thought that thought, I didn't say it out loud. "I didn't say anything," I said defensively. "I'd better go now so you can get some rest." I got up and practically ran out of the room.
When I stepped out into the hallway, everyone was gathered around, watching me expectantly. Dad broke the silence by saying, "So…she hears your thoughts now and wants you to stay here with her? Well, let the bonding and mating begin!"
I growled at him and walked out, noting the grin plastered on his face and mom slapping his arm as I stalked outside.
