DESTINY OF THE COUPLES 20
Pan leaned against a nearby wall, watching Bra greet the guests. There were tons of woman there, they practically screeched when they saw Trunks, Pan was disgusted with their attitude and knew not one girl wanted to marry him out of love. It actually was a funny scene watching Trunks and Goten eat, then have a whole pack of woman surround Trunks and Trunk's (who had a ton of food in his mouth) blushed at the state they saw him in. The girls didn't care.
"Look at them all." sighed Bra, leaning against the wall as well and watching Trunks's trying to greet every woman possible. "They're like a bunch of dogs over a bone."
Pan nodded in agreement. Bra was shocked for her silenceness and looked at Pan's expression on her face. Pan, to Bra, looked somewhat sad, and a little jealous. But her eyes looked worried. Pan had it bad for Trunks. And Bra knew.
"Hey. I know you're worried and all, but don't sweat it. I'm sure you can knock some sence into him." Bra reasurred her friend.
"Thanks Bra." said Pan. Still looking at Trunks, she saw caterers appear and start serving food. The smell enamored Pan, and got her mind off Trunks.
"And I thought food was the way to a man's heart. You proved me wrong." giggled Bra as she watched Pan go to every caterer possible, testing all the food.
*Trunks's P.O.V*
Wow, a lot of woman came. Now they won't leave me alone. I looked at Goten with a pleading look, but Goten shrugged as if saying 'there's- nothing-I-can-do'. All of a sudden, thoughts of becoming king, and getting married left my mind. Pan's words echoed in mind when she said "They'll be wanting to get in your pants and wallet". Of course she was right. Not one of these woman looked like they would kill to marry me if I wasn't rich. I'll admit I'm cute, and if I was poor I'd probably get a woman that would love me despite my lack of money. But these girls.......sure there were a few cute ones that caught my attention, but when you looked in their eyes......you only saw desire for power and money.
I'd never really been a expert on love or woman, but the looks they gave me made me feel uncomfterble. I looked around for my mother and father, but then I remembered they only stayed long enough to see how the turnout would be, and then they would leave for that vacation. To entertain the women, I asked each one to dance.
"You are a wonderful dancer Prince Trunks." said a good looking red head, but in her eyes I saw the longing of money and nothing more. So I simply nodded my head at her in thanks.
As I danced around the room with this girl, I saw Bra flirting with Goten and Pan checking out every type of food available. That made me laugh, for Pan wasn't like every girl. In fact, I wish more girls were like her.....wait.....did I just say that about Pan?! Yes, I did. But it's not like I like Pan, I just wish they had an attitude like her, confident, less sarcastic. The song ended, obviously the red head thought she had a chance with me, because she went off when I excused her, and told her friends. I don't want this. This is creeping me out. They're all just standing there, waiting for me to move, it's like they're holding the breath in anticipation.
"Excuse me ladies, I'll be right back." I turned and walked out of the ball room. I could tell the girls were confused because whispers followed when I left. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Bra, Pan's and Goten's confused faces. To tell the truth, I don't think I want to go back in that room.
It was simply a matter of life or death, or so I proclaimed my matter. It was either marry a woman, no love involved, or marry a princess 5 years older-wait, I change what I said. Either way, my life is ruined. At least walking out gave me a while of comfort. I knew exactly where to go, as I walked off the castle boundries. I was going to the place I could relax most, the water pool. (A/N: Place where he and Pan and Goten used to go swimming in, I mentioned it before.)
*Pan's P.O.V*
It has now been 15 minutes since Trunks left a hundred very confused girls. What is he doing?
"That dumbass." Bra sighed. "He's trying to get out of it. But he can't."
"I knew he was scared, but I didn't think he'd walk out." said Goten.
"You know what?" said Bra, all of a sudden looking dead at me, " You have to tell him now. It's the perfect time, you two will be all alone, no little whores around."
"Alright. But Bra, I'm just ruining your carefully planed party-"
"Pan, don't be as dumb as your brother, no offence Goten, but I set that party up for you and Trunks to get together! It was the perfect setup, and it still can! Just go out there and follow him. I know you're scared to admit your feelings, but please, do this for my brother's and your's sake."
I gulped. Then I nodded. Bra looked towards the door and back, signaling me to go. And I started walking. Immediatley, Bra shut the door after me, saying there's no going back now. This was my chance. And after 15 years of not knowing it, I have finally realized what made me go out that door to go and confront him, I really did love him. As I walked, my heels kept sticking in the ground so I threw them off, the air around me became cold, the sky darkened, it looked like rain but I didn't care. I knew where Trunks was, I'm not going to hesitate. I've never backed out of doing anything I've set my mind to and I'm not about to start now. Finally, I reached my destination, I found him, sitting next to where the water poured freely from the cliff and thus becoming the water fall we had known all our child hood. (A/N: I'm feeling really poetic people. ^.^) His face was filled with concentration, just looking at the water. But then he turned and his eyes bore into mine.
*Trunk's P.O.V*
I senced Pan coming. Probably coming to taunt me about being a chicken in this whole mess. She froze when she saw me look at her, she looked gorgeous with the moon's light reflecting off her hair and skin. And now I don't care about those voices in my head, all I know is that I'm looking at a beauty before me, who must have been concerned about me to come out here. She lowered her eyes and silently flew up next to me. She sat, her legs dangled freely of the cliff next to me.
"Why did you walk out?" Pan suddenly asked.
"Isn't it obvious, I don't want to do this." I said, perhaps a little more anger in my voice than necessary.
"We all don't want to do a lot of things. But......sometimes we just have to." she said.
"Not everything Pan. I'll never find a woman who will understand and love me for who I am."
*Pan's P.O.V*
Now's my chance, to tell him my speech. I cleared my throat.
"Trunks, I'll admit, I've never known you to be one to back out of things. You're scared, you never wanted this. But you have a choice, to be happily married and create a promising future for Vegeta-sei. You've just never noticed your options before. And I'll admit, your option may not have been so clear for a long time. But it's becoming clearer as we very speak." I paused for effect, and I saw Trunks stare at me confusidly. " Trunks, I know we're friends and all. But that can all change, you may have known me to be the snotty little brat, who was annoying and sarcastic, but I never knew, not until some time ago. We've known each other for 15 years, I feel like we know almost everything about each other. I guess what I'm trying to say is....I do care for you. I did'nt figure that out until some time ago too. But I do, and through thick and thin, we've always had a knowingness about each other. True, we haven't shown it, but it's gotten stronger, I feel that if anyone gave me a 50 question quiz all about you, I would know every answer."
*Trunks's P.O.V*
I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of Pan's mouth. Surprisingly, it all made scence to me. We did have some sort of connection, in a way like my parents. Everytime we fought, we never took it deep, not really. We've always gotten back to some sort of agreement even though we never said "I'm sorry for how I acted. " outloud. And those moments, on the roof. Each time I was there. Pan was there. She had the instinct, and I had it too. The answer for me has been with me ever since I've known Pan. Pan was probably waiting for a response. I wasn't sure of what to say. It started drizziling.
"Pan." I said gently. She looked up at me, scared. In her eyes, I saw no need for power and money. I saw love, and that's what I've dreamed to find in the woman I really cared for. Now the drizziling came down harder, soon it would turn into rain. Thankfully Pan was very patient, I needed to pick out my words carefully. The wind came, and whipped her hair about her, mine was lashing about, she was covered head to toe, damp with cold, but it didn't look like she cared. All she cared about was the one thing she's been waiting for.
"When I went out to the ball room, I was scared. None of those woman appealed to me, like you have. " her eyes that were starting to lower, quickly looked at me in surprise. " You've known me, I've known you, I guess all this time we've had a silent bond. I'm sorry it took me so long to catch on, but the one girl I want to be with, is the girl I've known since she was a year old, the one who offered me a challenge, and now the one who has offered me her heart. Pan, I feel the same way. And I wish it could've been me to tell you first......but I love you."
Rain was pouring now, but I could still see Pan's face. She was smiling, and I didn't know if it was tears, or rain coming down her cheek, I could tell she was happy. She leaned over and hugged me. Even though it was freezing now, her body warmed me, and she herself, warmed my heart.
*Pan's P.O.V*
Happiness flooded in me when he finished. I leaned over and hugged him. He stood and picked me up in his arms, and flew back towards the castle. We never spoke the whole way, but I knew some how we were silently communicating with each other. Just being in each other's arms was good enough for the both of us, now that we have realized our love for one another. I may be 15. But that doesn't matter. I believe that love will come at any age, and you know it, when that one other person knows it. A person may never know it, but most of the time they know it when they loose that person, and luckily, I was able to say it before it was too late. I have never felt more proud of myself.
*Vegeta's P.O.V*
"I knew it!" I yelled suddenly.
"Knew what?" Bulma asked sleepily. We were previously sleeping in the vacation room.
"He has found a mate." I muttered darkly.
"Oh! Who is it?!" yelled the woman.
".......Pan........." said I.
"EEEEE!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for Trunks!!!!" She shreaked.
I sat silently. I was going to be related to a.....a kakkarot? What is this world coming to?!
"Vegeta, you have to admit, better her than any other girl." said the onna gently. " She is powerful, like you wanted, able to set our son straight, that you also wanted. And most importantly, they can find love together and I-I'm just so happy!" she burst into tears.
Well, maybe I was a little proud......just a little. But they won't have to know it.

*A/N*
Sorry it took so long. I had to plan my words perfectly. AND NO, THE STORY ISN'T DONE! I'd hate to have a story with that kind of ended, not being able to show what else is going to happen.
