Author's Notes: I don't know the age difference between Trunks and Pan.
Therefore, I will make Pan 28 years old, and Trunks will be 42. So there is
a 14-year age difference. Aw the powers of being in control, is so sweet.
This story is also derived from one of my favorite movies, and that is
Bridgett Jone's diary.

Pan Son cradled the telephone between her shoulder and ear, as she talked to her mother on the other end. It seemed like her uncle's five-year wedding anniversary was coming up. Earlier in the week Pan had promised to attend, but now as it would seem she had been having second thoughts about going. However, it seemed like her mother wasn't about to let her get out of attending the fancy shindig that easy. Pan tried arguing the fact that leaving right then would be bad for business. She had just recently opened up a new company in New York City, and to leave right now would set the business back a few hundred dollars.
Pan didn't know if she was ready to accept that kind of loss in profits, all because her uncle was celebrating a simple wedding anniversary. It wasn't because she didn't care about her uncle, but she wasn't willing to destroy years of hard work. She knew that by going to the anniversary party, was also an open invitation for her mother to try to set her up. She knew that her mother would try to set her up on some kind of blind date, and that she would eventually cave in. Then she would spend the entire date wishing that she didn't listen to her mother in the first place.
Lately it would seem as if her mother was becoming even more relentless, in her pursuit of finding her a man. Then to make matters worse, her mother had been trying unsuccessly to hook her up with one of her best friends. Trunks had been her child hood friend, and he was fourteen years older than her. He even babysat her when she was still in diapers. There was no way Pan was going to be set up with one of her best friends, who thought of her as only a sister anyway.
Just because the man was still single, didn't mean that she wanted to date him. He was fourteen years older, and they had absolutely nothing in common. The only thing they had in common, was the fact that they both had say-jin blood coursing through their veins. Her mother reasoned that Trunks had been waiting for her to come around to her senses, and that he'd became attached to her when they traveled to outer space together.
Then Pan quickly pointed out the fact that she snuck on the ship, and through the entire trip through the cosmos, Trunks wanted to do nothing but send her back home. That's the way it always was. Pan had always wanted to hang out with Trunks and Goten as kids, because they were more fun to hang around. From this her mother concluded that Pan had a crush on Trunks, because she liked spending so much time with him.
What her mother didn't know was that she didn't have a crush on Trunks at all. In fact if there was anyone that she liked in that way, then it was on Piccolo. Yes you heard right. She figured the only way to get closer to the green skinned warrior, was to get closer to Trunks and Goten. She tried for years to make Piccolo see her as a woman, and when he finally did it was a too late.
Pan had been able to successfully make him open up, and his whole hard edge demeanor began to soften up a little bit. She was able to make him talk about things, some things he wouldn't have revealed otherwise to anyone else. It may have taken her twelve years to get him to open up towards her advances, but just as soon as he did he was quickly taken away from her.
Unbeknownst to the Z Force, an ominous threat was looming in the background waiting to strike down anyone that got in the way. It would seem like the evil Freeza, escaped the clutches of hell, and reined pure evil on the planet Earth. He had one target in mind, and that was revenge on Goku for killing him. Unknown to Freeza, Goku was on a mission to find the black star dragon balls. Pan had traveled with Goku and Trunks once before, but she snuck on the ship the first time they traveled to outer space taking Goten's place. So she had to stay on Earth the second time as Trunks, Goku, and Goten went into space.
It was during this time that her and Piccolo became closer. However, revenge was on Freeza's mind, before the lord of darkness set off to find him. So he went to the one place where he could exact some revenge. He went in search of Goku's oldest son Gohan. Instead what he found was Piccolo training a very beautiful young woman. He managed to suppress his chi, as he spied on them. He was surprised to find that the girl was a remarkable fighter, and even more surprised when his target walked outside. Gohan walked out of the house, and walked up to Pan. He gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, and Freeza strained to hear what he was saying.
He was surprised to find out that the young beautiful woman was Gohan's daughter. Once he found out this little fact, he aimed at taking the life of Goku's only granddaughter instead. He watched as Gohan and his wife drove off, and the two below still fought and trained. Freeza watched in amazement as the petite woman brought Piccolo down to his knees in defeat. She waved her hands in the air, as a sign of victory.
Piccolo smiled at the young woman, as she reached out to help him to his feet. Once Piccolo was back on his feet, he stared into Pan's big brown eyes. He then leaned closer to her lips, until he felt a strange chi that he hadn't sensed in a while.
His head jerked up towards a nearby tree, and he spotted Freeza beginning to charge up. Just as soon as Freeza shot off his powers, Piccolo grabbed Pan by her shoulders and turned her around. The blast hit Piccolo in the back, and Pan watched as he struggled to breathe.
Knowing that the only man that she ever loved was dying, Pan felt her anger rising like never before. Before any one knew it, Pan was standing there with blonde hair and green eyes. It was this same anger that would lead her to reach the power level that she had spent most of her life trying to attain. It was with that same anger that she was able to defeat Freeza in a matter of minutes, and it was with this anger that she sent Freeza back to the murky hell that he escaped from.
When Freeza was destroyed, Pan sat by Piccolo's side as he was dying. She reached out and tenderly caressed his face, as he looked into her brown eyes. Hot tears ran down her face, as he painfully brought his hand to her face. He slid his hand behind her neck, and pulled on her neck until their lips met. It was a nice kiss, which made both of their hearts beat a little faster. When they pulled apart, they stared into each other's eyes.
Pan tried to stand, but Piccolo grabbed onto her arm.
"Piccolo I need to go find some sezun beans. Please let me go. You're hurt."
"I know. I just don't want you to leave."
"I have to go. I'm sure I can find at least one bean for you."
"No time. I.I have so much that I wanted to tell you." He said with difficulty
"Piccolo please. If you just let me go."
"Pan...I just wanted you to know.urggh." He screamed out in pain.
"Piccolo." Pan said worriedly
"I just want you to know that I love you Pan. I've never had any feelings for any woman, but somehow I find myself being drawn to you. You must have put some .kind.of spell on.me."
"Piccolo." Pan said as tears streaked down her face.
"I'm proud of you. You managed to turn super say-jin. Our lesson .is now over."
"Piccolo can't you just use your powers to rejuvenate? You've always managed to heal yourself before." She wondered out loud.
"You don't understand. I'm too far gone, to heal my self now."
"Why?"
"Freeza was able to hit a large portion of my heart. By the time I'm fully rejuvenated it'll be too late."
"Then let me go find a bean."
"It's already.too late. Please forgive me for leaving like this.my love."
"Piccolo."
"Yeah.what's up?" He said smiling.
"I just wanted you to know that I love you too."
"I know.I guess I've always known. It's just too bad that I.waited this long to tell you how I felt. Pan?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll miss you the most. Promise me that you'll practice everyday on your training. You still have to attain to level 2. Then there are still levels 3,4, and 5. So promise me that you'll continue training."
"I promise."
"Promise me that you'll think of me sometime."
"I promise."
"Also promise me that you'll live your life to the fullest. Promise me that you'll also find someone that will make you happy, someone that will love you as much as I do."
"I promise Piccolo. I promise."
Piccolo reached up and pulled her into a tight embrace once again. They kissed until he breathed his very last breath. Pan could do nothing but hold him in her arms as he slipped away.
That had to be one her most difficult things that she has ever gone through. However, she kept each of her promises to Piccolo, because she knew that he was above watching over her. She also held onto the hope that one day the Grand Kai would allow Piccolo the chance to come back to Earth. It was because of this hope of Piccolo's return, that Pan hasn't dated anyone since his death. In a sense she wanted to save herself for him, and she didn't want to date anyone until he came back.
So as time passed since Piccolo's death, Pan immersed herself in her work. Eventually Goku, Trunks, and Goten returned from outer space. They were unsuccessful in their quest to find all the dragon balls. So they helped Bulma try to trace down the last dragon ball, but even that was unsuccessful. Consequently they realized that they were never going to be able to wish Piccolo back after all.
Soon Pan found that she was somehow withdrawn from her family and friends. Before long she found a cheap apartment in L.A, and she moved there before anyone could object with the exception of her father. Now as she sat in that same L.A apartment, she couldn't help but to wonder if it was one of the best decisions that she ever made.
She could only imagine how obstinate her mother would be, and that there would be no peace whatsoever. Much to her chagrin, she didn't think that she would get daily calls from her mother either. However, today she was once again delighted hear her mother's voice, urging her to come to the party.
She wanted nothing but to end their long drawn out conversation, so Pan agreed to attend the gathering so she could get off the phone as soon as possible. As the conversation ended, Pan hung up the phone feeling even more anxious than before. It's not that she didn't want to go, but she shuddered at the thought of her mom trying to pair her up with Trunks all night.
She walked towards her nightstand, and pulled out a burgundy journal. She pulled it out with ease, and sat down at the vanity table in her bedroom. She removed a Bic pen from her penholder, and turned to the first clean page that she could find. She quickly put pen to paper, in order to write down her feelings before she could forget them.
Dear Diary:
Can you believe that my mother is at it again? How many times can I tell her that I have no interest in Trunks? She always tries so hard to hook us up, that she's blind to the fact that my heart belongs to another. So what if he's dead? It's been a proven fact that the dead can be brought back to life. Right? I mean there are the dragon balls that can bring a person back to life, and let's not forget that we have four Kai's that can bring Piccolo back. Although the search for dragon balls has proved ineffective, I still hold onto the hope of finding more out there. Not to mention the Grand Kia. Surely he could bring Piccolo back, even though he has failed do so in as much as twelve years. I don't fault the Kai's in any way mind you, but for once I wished that they would just bring him back.
Diary, what I'm trying to say is that I miss Piccolo, and that I really don't think that Trunks could ever measure up to a man as great as Piccolo. Don't get me wrong, Trunks is a nice guy. However, he reminds me of one of those rich snobbish guys that get on your last nerve. Whenever I was around him, he always managed to make me feel inferior to him. He made it seem like I was always a thorn in his side, when in actuality he was a thorn in mine. Just to make my mother happy, I agreed to go to this party. I just hope that I can make it through the rest of the night, and not feel like some sort of third wheel.
I bet everything that I've ever work for that Christy is going to be there as well. Whose Christy you ask? She's Trunks personal assistant, and part time booty buddy. As the president of C.C. he brings her everywhere that he goes, and of course she scares off any female that dares tries to get too close to Trunks including me. Of course they're not going together or anything, but she makes it clear as rain that she wants him all to herself. However, I'd wished that they would just make it official or something. That way my mother could just get off my back for once, and just drop this whole Trunks infatuation thing once and for all.
Anyway I got to go pack my belongings. Instead of using my chi, I'm taking an airplane. I want some time to think about how I'm going to avoid Mr. Trunks Briefs, and my mother during the duration of the party. So here I go, into the valley of the shadow of death. O.K. maybe it's not the valley of death, but its sure going to feel like it.
Next chapter Pan arrives at the party, and things are about to get pretty bad for Pan. Tune in next time to find out what's going to happen next. Also Pan has one too many drinks, and this event is going to lighten up in more ways than one. Also find out what Pan does, that gets a lot of tongues wagging.
