DESTINY OF THE COUPLES 14

*A/N* Actually, Trunks isn't gonna kno about the bond till later. Suspense ^.~ ***************************************************************



"Pan! Where were you???" Chi Chi asked, once the three sayjins came in the dinner hall. Pan looked at her brother and uncle for an answer because everyone was watching.

"She was.....in the training room wearing a ki shield." said Goten. Pan took the ring off her finger and gave it to Bulma.

"Sorry, I didn't want people to know how powerful I've become." Pan said, and looked at Trunks with a hated glare.

"Ok! Well, Pan, you must be hungry. Let's eat." Goku said, noticing Trunks and Pan's glaring contest.

Pan sat down and ate. She wasn't very hungry, and fiddled with the food on her plate. By now, Chi Chi, Bulma, Vegeta and Goku had left. Goten stayed and sat near his sister. Trunks and Bra didn't look up from where they were eating. Pan had been thinking about what her father said about a bond. She looked up to glare at Trunks, and saw he was glaring her. She stuck out her tongue, he twisted up his face, she threw her chop stick at him which hit him between the eye.

"You're lucky it missed!" Trunks yelled from across the table.

"Oh ya?! Is that a threat?!?" Pan yelled back.

"If you haven't already figured that out, you must be pretty stupid!"

Goten nudged her, warning her not to continue. Pan shoved her unfinished food aside and got up from the table. Goten stood up and followed her. She walked towards the front door to leave, but Goten stopped her.

"I wanna leave!" Pan yelled.

"Mom wouldn't be too happy if we left. Do you wanna spar or something?" Goten asked. Pan nodded.

They walked outside, and Goten immediatley regretted agreeing to spar. An hour later he was bruised and beaten.

"I feel so much better, because I just imagined you as Trunks the whole time. Thanks bro!"Pan said smiling. Goten collapsed and looked up at the sky. The red from the sunset was in view. Pan went and layed down next to Goten to look up at the sky, which now was red with hints of little stars.

"Do you think you'll ever be friends with Bra again?" Goten asked.

"I dunno." Pan sighed. "But it sure is lonely."

"Ya......I have an idea! Why don't you go apologize to Bra. Let your pride go for 5 minutes, and talk stuff out."

"It's not that simple. It's a matter of whether she wants to talk to me or not."

"How about I go with you? I need to apologize to her too." Goten sat up.

".................I'm not so sure about this..." Goten grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"Please? " Goten gave her the puppy eyes.

"Ugh! Ok." And they walked towards the castle.

*Trunks and Bra*

Trunks and Bra were sitting in the royal room, bored and listening to their parents talk. They soon detecting Pan and Goten's ki coming and got up.

"You two aren't going anywhere. Both of you have to talk to Pan and Trunks." said Goku, who knew Trunks and Bra were leaving because of Pan and Trunks.

"Oh good! We'll leave you to talk and straighten things out." Bulma ushered everyone out of the room.

A short while later, Goten and Pan came in the room. Pan immediatly went to turn around, but Goten stopped her.

"Guys, we need to talk." Goten said. He sat down on the couch next to Pan. And Bra and Trunks did the same.

For a while, no one talked.

"Alright, I'll start. Trunks, Bra, I'm sorry. You know I was just sticking up for my sister like Bra did for Trunks. Can we still become friends and sparring partners?" Goten asked. Trunks and Bra smiled and accepted.

Pan ignored them and was busy plucking dirt out from under her nails. Goten cleared his throat loudly, and Pan jumped.

"O, ya....right. What he said." Pan said.

"Paaan." Goten said warningly.

"Alright. Bra, I'm really sorry, I'm just not used to you sticking up for your brother and giving me a choice between friendship or nothing. Can we still be friends?" she asked. Bra thought a moment, smiled and forgave Pan.

"Aren't you forgetting someone?"Goten asked.

"Nope-oh. " said Pan, realizing she had to apologize to Trunks. "Errr......I'm not apologizing, but I swear to Kami, I will kill you if you EVER do anything like that again. So can we go back to disliking each other instead of hating each other?"

"I don't know......how about you start being nice to me." Trunks smirked.

"How about no!" Pan said in anger.

"Alright. Calm down. But I promise I'll stop treating you like shit........once in a while."

"Boxer boy, you're alright. Once in a VERY great while." said Pan.

"I knew you guys would make up!" the door burst open and in came Bulma and Chi Chi who have obviously been listening.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't get too pleased with yourselves." muttered Pan.

*A/N* Sorry it took soooooooooooo long to update! School's a bitch, and my mind is becoming blank with things to write in this story........

Going blank.....

Blanker.......

.......

Back! Ok, I'm fine. Need to think for 5 minutes.

*10 minutes later*

Okay, I guess watching DBZ was a bit of an upgrade! I'll continue this chapter......

*End A/N*

The Sons went home that night. Goten was a great deal happier. Pan was happy too, though she didn't want to show it like Goten. Going to bed that night, Pan decided she couldn't sleep. Whenever she couldn't sleep, she ended up flying around. Though, when she couldn't sleep, it meant she had something on her mind. And that something on her mind was the bond. How could this happen? They LOATHE each other.

'Kami. Why me? Why does it have to be Trunks??' Pan thought, flying above the town below. 'He may be......ok, he's hot! But, there are a lot of guys like that. Who end up looking really sweet and innocent, but then one word out of them changes your impression of them.'

While Pan was thinking, she accidently bumped into a wall. (A/N: It is a wall people, not Trunks's muscular frame!) Looking at the wall she ran into, she descovered that she had ended up at the castle.

'Hmm.....Bra might be awake.' Pan flew down and looked in Bra's window. She was fast asleep.

Dissapointed, she flew up on the top of the great castle, and looked up at the stars. 'Might as well lay down.' And lie down she did.

"What are you doing up here?" a man's voice asked. Startled, Pan jumped up and got in fighting position, but then noticed it was Trunks and withdrew.

"What does it look like?" Pan asked, a tiny bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"Jeesh. Sorry. I usually come up here to think too. Is it okay with you?" he asked, mockingly pretending to adress a person of higher state.

"It's your place." Pan sighed, and sat down. "What do you have to think about?"

"Stuff. None of your concern. Nor would you understand."

"Try me." Trunks groaned, and decided not to piss Pan off so he told her....

*Flash back, after the Sons left that day*

"Son, I need to talk to you." Vegeta said, coming in the royal room. He gave Bulma a look that meant he wanted to talk to Trunks alone and Bulma and Bra left the room.

"What about?" Trunks asked.

"You are turning 18 soon, am I correct?" Trunks nodded. " And when a person of royalty turns 18...."

Trunks knew what was coming.

"You're going to have to find a mate, before your birthday."

"And if I don't?" Trunks asked coldly. Vegeta's eyes narrowed dangersouly.

"I get to choose the mate for you. And believe me, my pick is from the planet Yeta. I believe you've met the princess. She may not be supremely attractive, but she is the strongest female in this Universe. And only the powerful are allowed to be with my son."

"You can't be serious?! She's not queen material! Or husband material.....or my kinda type for that matter! She's got to be atleast 5 years older than me!"

"Age does not matter."

"But-"

"Shut up and leave. Think of what I've said, and be sure to have a mate before your birthday, which is next month."

*Flash forward*

"And that's my problem." Trunks said.

Pan had a horrible feeling in her stomach.

"Oh." Pan finally managed to say.

"Now, can I ask what you are doing up here?"

"I was thinking also. And about what, I'm not going to say."

"Why not? I told you!"

"My problem is different. Now bug off."

"Fine.........does it have anything to do with me?" Trunks asked suddenly. Pan's horrible feeling in her stomach returned. She looked at his blue eyes staring up at her for an answer. He was kinda sweet actually, when his head wasn't so far up his ass.

"No." she lied. "Why would you think I was thinking about you?"

"Because, I'm the girl every guy wants. And who couldn't be thinking of me?"

'His head just went up his ass again. *Sigh* And it was such a peaceful moment too'. Pan thought.

"It's not about you. And I don't want to start an arguement right now. I came up here to think, and I wanna think. So can you back off?" Pan asked angrily.

"Whatever." Trunks's knew not to bug Pan. Thinking she was PMS'ing or something, it would be dangerous to pick a fight with her.

Trunks moved over and went to lie down on his back. Pan was still gazing up at the stars. Then she heard snores. In the middle of the night, laying down, listening to snores, who couldn't fall asleep? So Pan fell asleep: On the roof of the castle. Next to Trunks.
