Chapter 5 Ice Cream on V-Day
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
"I never felt anything... I guess he saved me... but why cut the rope on me if he was going to save me anyway?"
The girl put her hands on her head and lay down on the floor. "It is hopeless... he never liked me..." she sniffed. Then the phone rang. She stood hesitantly and picked up the receiver. "Mooshi mooshi?"
"`Pan?`"
Pan's eyes narrowed. It was Trunks. "What do you want?"
"`I want to know if you are coming with us. We're all going to the Ice Cream Shoppe in honour of Valentine's, remember?`"
Pan sighed. "Yes, I guess I'm coming..."
"`Ok. We'll be there to pick you up in around 5 minutes.`" Click.
Pan hung up her phone and sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling. ":Why the hell did I just let him slide like that?:" Pan scolded herself for always being too forgiving. As she did, she subconsiously began to rub the pendant around her neck. It was so smooth and strong. Like a friendship wthout too many rough edges- fights, lies, betrayals... it played a symbolic role in her life without her even knowing it.
The doorbell rang, springing her out of her thoughts and down the stairs. "'Tousan, I am going to be at the Ice Cream Shoppe!" she called before heading out.
"So I told Marissa that if she wanted to be invited, she would have to crawl..."
Trunks and Bura laughed at Marron's story. Apparently Marissa was so pathetic, she did anything Marron told her too. Goten chomped down on fries. Pan sat in the back, away from the ever cackling Bura and Marron, staring at the road. Her smooth black hair whipped around in the wind blowing through the unroofed convertible. Her eyes glazed over as she was lost in thought. Lost in another memory of back then, when the wounds of betrayal were fresh and still being made.
"I want Pecan Butter!" demanded Marron.
"Yeah, me too!" agreed Bura.
"Rocky Road!" cheered Goten.
"Vanilla Ripple!" called Uubu.
"And a triple fudgey chocolate yougurt for me." Trunks placed retrieved their order and brought it to their table. "Happy Valentine's Day everybody!" he smiled. The kids scrambled for their Ice Cream and began gourging.
"H-hey! Wh-what did I m-miss?" Pan came running over and leaned on the table, panting. "I-is my ice cream r-ready?" she looked over at Trunks, who looked back with a cold look in his eyes.
"YOUR ice cream? Well... if you would order it, it would be."
"Um, okay. I want a... Rocky Road please!" Pan grinned.
"Okay, go tell him that!" Trunks snorted, pointing to the Ice Cream Man.
Pan looked slightly taken aback, but she walked over and placed her order nonetheless. The man held out her ice cream cone but when she moved to take it, he swung it back.
"Pay up missy."
"Pay? But I thought Trunks paid!"
"Trunks? As in Briefs? Hah, he only paid for his friends."
"B-but I have not got any money!"
"Tough luck little lady!" the man scoffed as he ate the ice cream himself.
Pan looked over at the table where everyone (other than Goten, who was gourging, and Uubu) was laughing at her. Her eyes welled up intears, but her face took on an angry expression.
"Aw, did we make the puppy cry?" sneered Marron.
"Yeah, is the doggy woggie going to cwy?" laughed Bura.
Trunks just continued laughing between bites of ice cream.
Pan stormed away, sniffing and keeping her eyes squeezed shut. She walked out the door of the Shoppe and slammed it behind her, causing an old light to fall. She began crying as soon as she was in the parking lot, oblivious to the cars around her, or the one beside her, holding out his ice cream.
"Pan?
Pan?
Pan?
PAN!"
Pan snapped out of her thoughts and swiveled around to face Uubu. "C'mon Pan, we're at the Shoppe." he opened the door for her and closed it after she walked out of the car. He followed her as she walked into the Shoppe, reaching into her pocket. She felt around for the few Yen she kept saved, just in case.
