Love's Pain

Love at First Sight

Pan and her parents picked up Goku, Chi Chi, and Goten before heading over to Capsule Corps.

"Hey P-chan! How are you?"

"Hey Uncle G. I'm good, especially now that school's out for the summer. How have you been?"

"Great! Parisu and I went out to a new restaurant last night, then we went and got some ice cream."

"Goten, the only thing you and Parisu do is eat. Don't you ever do anything else?" Gohan asked as he shook his head at his little brother.

"Well yeah Gohan, what else would we do?" Goten asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh brother." Pan muttered before she started laughing at Goten. "Sometimes you are so clueless Uncle G. Girls like to be romanced and maybe have someone they can talk to, not someone who will only take them out to eat."

Thankfully, they arrived at Capsule Corps before Goten could be picked on anymore.

Bulma was the one who answered the door, screaming how happy she was to see everyone. Goku and Gohan laughed as Chi Chi, Videl and Pan smiled at Bulma. Goten just stood there with a blank look on his face. "But Bulma you just saw me yesterday, why are you acting like you haven't seen me in forever?"

Trunks picked that moment to walk to the door. He just laughed and shook his head at his best friend. "Goten, you baka, Mom was referring to your parents, Gohan, Videl, and Pan. Not you."

"Oh, well okay then."

Bulma led Chi Chi and Videl into the kitchen as Goku and Gohan went to find Vegeta. It was then that Pan and Trunks got their first good look at each other in over seven years. They both stared amazed at the sight before them.

'Oh my Dende, he is handsome! Why is my heart beating faster?'

'Dende, she is breathtaking! It's like the whole room just lit up.'

They were both pulled out of their stupor by the loud squealling that could only come from Bra Briefs. "Pan! Dende girl it has been forever. Look how gorgeous you are!" Pan blushed, pulling her eyes away from Trunks' s blue ones to smile at Bra. " Bar, girl you haven't changed one bit. You are still just as beautiful as before."

Trunks just stared at the two as they hugged and smiled at each other. His breath caught in his throat as Pan turned to smile at him before she and Bra walked away to catch up with each other.

"Yo Trunks, my man is anybody home?" Getting no response, Goten tried waving his hand in front of Trunks' face. When that failed Goten tried the only thing that could get Trunks moving, "Oh no here comes Vegeta and he wants you to train with him."

Trunks quickly looked around for a quick escape route, until he heard Goten laughing at him. "That's not funny Goten, you just scared 6 years off my life."

"Oh man you should have seen your face. It was priceless. Hahaha."

"Shut up Goten before I shut you up." Trunks growled before he stalked off to his room.

"Trunks wait up. Man, I'm sorry I'll never do it again." Goten yelled as he ran after Trunks. "So Trunks, what is up with the look you were giving Pan downstairs? It was like you had never seen her before."

"I don't know. It was like I was seeing her for the first time. Not because she was beautiful but because she had this light around her that shined so much brighter than anything else."

"Wow it sounds as if you love her. Do you?"

"I don't know Goten. I've known her all her life and I love her as a friend, but now I feel like I don't know her at all. My heart beats faster when I see her or think about her."

A knock at the door prevented them from further conversation. Especially when Bra poked her head in the room to tell them that dinner was ready and to go downstairs. Chi Chi had made dinner for everyone since it was a well know fact that Bulma couldn't cook. At the mention of food especially his mother's, Goten all but ran Bra over trying to get downstairs and to the food.
