Sorry the first few chapters have been so small I'm trying to make them longer. Thanks for the reviews! Keep them coming.

Note: I have added the prologue into this chapter. But I kind of changed it. Everything Pan said is still here but I took out what Trunks said and added his thoughts to what is going on. I hope you like it and that it isn't to confusing.

Love's Pain

Leaving and a Meeting

"Pan! What are you doing here?" Trunks asked trying to collect his jumbled thoughts. 'Dende, she is beautiful and she smells good too. NO! Remember Trunks, you have to make her think you don't want her anymore, no matter how hard it is, you have to make her hate you.'

"Bra and I went shopping and she suggested that I come over and hang out. We need to talk. What is going on Trunks? Why did you leave my bed to be with Marron? Why did you kiss her?" Pan asked feeling more upset by the second.

'Thanks a lot Bra, I need to remember to kill you later.' Trunks thought before he replied to Pan's questions. "Nothing is going on Pan. I'm a grown man so if I want to leave your place and go hang out with one of my best friends, I can. I don't have to ask for your permission to do what I want. And it was only a kiss on the cheek, no big deal." 'There that ought to piss her off enough to make her stay away from me.'

"Trunks, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I was just overreacting and letting my imagination run wild. Let's just forget about this. Come on, there is still over half the day left, we can still go out and spend some time together."

'Dende, why are you doing this? Pan you are suppose to be mad at me. Now what am I going to do?' "No Pan, I have stuff I need to do."

"Okay, well how about tomorrow then?"

"No! Don't you get it? I don't want to be with you. I made a mistake last night. I don't care about you like that. Please Pan just leave." 'Dende please let that have worked.'

"What are you talking about?" Pan asked as she felt her heart break into millions of pieces. "Trunks, I thought you cared about me and wanted to be with me."

"Well I lied, okay? Look Pan, there is no us and there never will be. I don't care about you! I can't figure out why you don't get this."

"Oh I understand. 'Yes, finally she gets it. Thank you Dende.' "I understand that you are an ass! And here is the really funny part to all of this I want to be with you. Don't you understand I love you! 'She loves me. Dammit!' "I have since the first time I really saw you. You own my heart, you are in my soul. But I guess my love isn't good enough for you." 'Sure I understand. I love you, you love me, but this big scary guy is going to kill you if I don't make you hate me.'

"Why?" 'Why? Why? She wants to know why. Because I'm trying to be a good guy for once. Quit being stubborn and just accept my answer.

"Unlike you I'm not afraid to listen and follow my heart. Even now when my mind is telling me to forget about you, my heart still screams that I love you." ' I'm sorry Pan but it has to be this way.' Trunks thought as he watched her drive away. He turned and walked into his house before the sky opened up and rain came pouring down. That night while Pan cried herself to sleep, Trunks fought for his sanity as his nightmare replayed over and over again in his mind. ' I did the right thing. Pan will be safe now.' Trunks thought shaking from the horrors of his latest nightmare. ' I love you Pan' he thought before finally falling into a dreamless sleep.

Summer finally came to an end, and life once again found Pan in a routine. She would train and go to work but she lacked the enthusiasm of before. It was as if the light around her had been dimmed to almost nothing. Everyone noticed the change in Pan but only Bra knew why. And even Bra didn't know the full reason, she just knew that it had to deal with her baka brother.

(Phone Conversation)

"Pan, you need to get out. You are making yourself crazy and everyone else is worried about you. Hell, even Goten has noticed something isn't right and you know how clueless your Uncle is."

"Bra, I get that you want to help me, but everything is fine. I've just been really busy with school. May.."

"That's bullshit and you know it, Pan." Bra exclaimed, cutting Pan off before she could give another lame excuse. "I know something happened with Trunks. I understand that you don't want to talk about it, but you can't bury yourself in training and teaching, because by doing so you have become my dad. Please just go out with me tonight and I'll leave you alone for a few days, I promise."

"Fine Bra, I'll go out with you, but it will have to be tomorrow night. I have to much work to do tonight. Okay?"

"That's great. Listen we will go to that new club in Satan City and..."

"Why can't we just go out to dinner and to Barnes and Nobles or something like that?" Pan asked cutting Bra off before she could think of thousands of places they could go to.

"What! Pan, I am not going to some bookstore. You need to get out and let loose not wander through stacks of books. Got it?"

"Well it has been forever since I went out dancing. Okay the club sounds like fun. Let's do that."

"That's my girl! I will pick you up at 9:00, oh and wear something cute. No jeans and t-shirts!"

"Yes mam, see you tomorrow at nine!"

"Alright, bye girlie."

"Bye Bra."

Trunks was doing just as bad as Pan. Only he let his Saiyan temper usually get the better of him, which would always lead to a beating from Vegeta in the Gravity Room. The only person that Trunks seemed to get along with was Marron.

(Phone Conversation)

"Trunks you can't keep going on like this. All you do is lose your temper, get beat up by Vegeta, and work! I have never seen you work so much before. You don't even escape through your window anymore. Everyone is worried about you and thinks that you are up to something bad. Your mother thinks we are having an affair, because you only talk to me. Hell, even Goten, who wouldn't know if a bug bit him, has noticed something wrong with you. Please get out of your house and go out with me tonight,"

"I don't think I can Mar. I'm trying to take over this new company, and it is keeping me pretty busy. Maybe some other time."

"Trunks Vegeta Briefs, I ought to tell Vegeta that you back talked Bulma so that he can beat some sense into you. And don't you dare give me this shit about you needing to work. What you need is to get out and have a normal life." Marron said when Trunks tried to interject that he had work he needed to do. "Look, I'm really sorry about you and Pan. I think that everyone should be with the person they love, but you can't. And you also can't keep going on like this. I know you miss her and love her, but do you really want to see her hurt?" Marron sighed as she thought of ways to hurt Trunks for being so stubborn and for cutting himself off from everyone.

"I know that I'm working more than normal, but taking over this company is really important and it helps to get my mind off everything. I can't go out tonight, but I promise that I will tomorrow. How does that sound?"

"Great! Have you been having the nightmares lately?"

"Yeah, I still have them. I don't know why. I'm not with Pan anymore." Trunks said sadly. "Okay new subject. So where are you taking me tomorrow?"

"Well I was thinking you, me, Mike, and Goten could all go to the new club in Satan City. Maybe around 9ish. How does that sound?"

"Good. I'll meet you there around nine. See you tomorrow night. Bye Mar."

"Bye Trunks."

(Satan Cafe later that day)

"Marron over here." Bra waved as she, Ubb, and Goten sat at a table outside waiting for Marron to arrive.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late, but I had to get rid of Mike so that I could meet you."

"Um guys, we are pretty much out of the loop. So what is going on and why did you call us down here to meet you?" Ubb asked while Goten nodded his head in agreement.

"Well you see Pan and Trunks are in love and" Bra started

"WHAT! Trunks loves my niece? Then why is she so miserable. I'll kill him if he has hurt her." Goten exclaimed, jumping out of his chair.

"Goten sit down and I'll tell you what is going on." Marron said as she tugged on Goten's arm trying to make him sit down.

(An Hour Later)

"Wow I had no idea!" Bra exclaimed. "That's why he is usually up pacing at night and losing his temper with everyone. Poor Trunks."

"Woa, Brolli is alive. But I thought we killed him for sure that last time. What a bummer. Wait why isn't Brolli coming after me too? I helped kill him."

"I don't know Goten. I just know what Trunks has told me and what I saw at the movies." Marron sighed.

"So he loves her and she loves him, but they can't be together because some dead guy is going to come and kill her if they are together. So what are we here for. I mean what are we suppose to do about this?" Ubb asked slightly confused by everything.

"Well here is what I was thinking."

Please, Please, Please Review. I know you want to.
