*~*The Next Day*~*

"Wake up brat, your bus comes in fifteen minutes." Vegeta said and kicked Trunks in the gut hard. Trunks rolled off of his mattress and softly let a yawn out as he stretched his arms out. He stood up and walked through the living room to step in the bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror and studied his newly acquired bruise from his father. Shaking his head, Trunks turned the faucet. He ran the cool water for a few moments then cupped his hands together and placed them under the water. He washed his face off and let the cool water act as an antidote for his bruise. Trunks reached for a small hand towel and wiped off his face with it.

'Today is going to be a long day.' Trunks thought to himself inwardly as he surprisingly found a clean towel and positioned it down on the toilet. He stripped himself naked and turned on the shower. The warm water soothed Trunks' body as he thought of many ways to tell his friends that he was moving in two weeks. A few moments later, Trunks stepped out of the shower and quickly wrapped the towel around his naked flesh. He dressed in a white Hanes T-shirt with a basic pair of loose fitted jeans. Trunks tossed his hair around on either side of his head and walked to the front of the door, picked up his back pack, and walked outside in the cool late fall weather.

'Just in time.' Trunks thought to himself as the bus pulled up. He sauntered onto the bus and sat down in front of Pan. Pan cheerfully tapped his shoulder. Trunks turned around to be met with dark brown eyes. Pan gasped when her eyes glanced at his poorly taken care of face.

"What happened? Your face wasn't that bad yesterday." Pan inquired, noticing the newly received bruise that was plastered to his face.  Trunks grinned at Pan and situated his hand under her chin.  He pulled her into a soft kiss, barely grazing her lips.  Pan closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment while it lasted.  Trunks began to pull Pan slightly closer to him and pressed harder against her lips.  Pan felt Trunks' tongue begin to shove against her mouth, causing Pan to pull away from him for a moment.

"Pan?" he asked as she breathed heavily for a moment.  Pan literately jumped on top of Trunks in the bus seat and pressed him down hard.  Pan crawled on top of him, with both of her legs on either side of his waist.  She thanked God that they were close to the back of the bus so that the bus driver didn't have a good view from back there. 

Hesitantly, Pan inched her face closer to Trunks.  Her breathing quickened when her face was centimeters away.  Reluctantly she did it, she kissed Trunks.  To Trunks' surprise Pan slid her tongue in his mouth without a warning.  After the two wrestled tongues for about two minutes, Pan pulled away to take a deep breath.  Her breathing was harsh and Trunks sat her up and propped her into his lap.

"Are you okay Pan?" he asked and placed his hand on her chest, not her boob, to feel her heart beating quickly.  Trunks grinned slightly and tilted himself closer to Pan.  "Was the kiss too much?" Trunks' whispery breath cooled off her neck causing her to shiver slightly. 

A few moments later, after Pan had regained herself, Trunks kissed Pan, only this time HE was in control.  Trunks didn't like the fact that Pan had been in control last time, so he had pressed her up against the window pane and licked the outside of her lips with his tongue.  Pan shuddered slightly at this gesture, but took quite a liking to it for her hands were roaming in Trunks' wild hair.

Trunks' tongue then finally entered Pan's mouth.  It wondered onto her teeth and moved around slowly in her mouth.  Pan surprised Trunks and shoved her tongue in his mouth once again, receiving a small noise in his throat.  Pan's tongue ran down the back of his tonsils and soothed back up.  The two pulled away from each other once again, only this time both of them were breathing hard.   

"It swelled up last night." Trunks said, answering Pan's question from about ten minutes ago.

Pan glanced at him queerly.  "What?" she inquired

"I was answering your question about what happened to my face." Trunks said.

"Oh." Pan said receiving a smile from Trunks.  Pan smiled back at Trunks and placed a hand on his shoulder. The two sat there in silence a while until Trunks removed her hand off his shoulder, knocking the two out of their trances.

Marron arrived on the bus, and shortly after she did, Goten did as well. Trunks sighed heavily then inhaled a deep breath, gaining his friends' attention. They all waited impatiently for him to say something. Finally, he took another deep breath.

"I have something to tell you guys that I find rather important." Trunks announced as the group of friends continued to stare at him. Trunks sighed once again then continued with his announcement. "In about two weeks I'm going to move." Trunks glimpsed around to see everyone's reaction. Shock, was how to describe the look on Pan's face. Joy, to describe the look on Marron's face. Gloom, to describe the look on Goten's face.

"Are you serious?" Pan asked.

"Let's throw a party!" Marron exclaimed.

"My only true friend, is…moving?" Goten squeaked out.

"Yes I'm serious, go throw a party for all I care, and I'll miss you too bud." Trunks responded answering to all three of them. Goten's eyes watered up and he began to ball into a hysterical fit as he fell into Trunks' arms.

"You can't go!" Goten squealed. Trunks raised a perplexed eyebrow at Goten. "You're my only true friend who doesn't like me just because I'm rich!" Goten wiped his eyes quickly and sat back up as Pan, Marron, and Trunks glanced at him queerly.

"Don't cry Goten, I'm sure we'll keep in touch." Trunks reassured him and softly patted his back. Goten sniffled a few times then glanced up at his friend and smiled.

"Thanks Trunks!" Goten exclaimed. He gave his good friend a huge hug. Trunks hugged Goten back earning a few awkward glances from some of the people on the bus. Trunks pulled away from the hug before anyone got the wrong idea.

"I hate to be rude Trunks…but why are you moving?" Pan asked as she leaned her head against the seat in front of her. Trunks was silent for a moment, he hadn't thought about what to say if someone asked him that. He smiled at Pan and softly sighed.

"My mom and dad are getting separated; they have been fighting a little bit here and there. And I have to live with my mom." Trunks said telling the truth to some extent. Pan nodded her head and turned towards studied Trunks for a moment.

"Trunks, tell me the truth when I ask you this question." She stated and continued to stare at him. Trunks' eyes wondered around the bus for a moment, and then he glanced at Pan and barely nodded his head. Pan placed both of her hands on Trunks' shoulders. "Look at me straight in the eyes when you answer this question." Her tone was serious, Trunks could tell and he swallowed hard, afraid to know what she was about to ask him. Trunks nodded his head once again and stared at her straight in the eyes, just as she requested.

Pan snuffled up a heavy breath and exhaled it out. "Did, did, your parents do that to you?" Pan asked and lightly grazed his face with her right hand. Trunks wanted so badly to tell her everything, and grasp onto her hand and confess his love for her right there, but something held him back. He continued to stare into her eyes for about three seconds, then, blinking once or twice, he pulled her hand away from his face and smiled.

"No Pan." He lied. The teenager was an excellent liar, he lied at any chance he could. "I promise they didn't, it was just from my fight with Uub." Trunks felt the knot form in his stomach. Damn it! How could he just lie to Pan, the one person who he truly wanted to try to love? He resisted from showing any hint of pain or fear in his eyes and once again smiled at Pan. 'Damn it, I have a feeling I'm gonna regret this.'

Pan examined his face once again. She thought back on Friday night for a second then suddenly realized something. She glared at Trunks for less than a second then turned back serious. Trunks gulped hard once again as Pan opened her mouth to say something.

"Uub didn't even hit you in the eye…" she said aloud and eyed Trunks strangely. Trunks was about to turn his head away from Pan, but remembered what she had said. "Trunks…you're lying aren't you?" Pan glanced deep into his eyes, trying to figure out if he was lying.

"Pan, I told you, my parents aren't like that." Trunks said and faintly shook his head. "And you didn't even watch the whole fight with me and Uub. He punched me across the face about three different times." Trunks commented.

Pan shook her head and smiled at Trunks the best that she could. "Okay, but you better not be lying to me. Or else!" Pan threatened and playfully threw up her fists. Trunks quietly laughed and turned back around in his seat on the bus. The rest of the ride to school was silent. No one said a word, even a pin dropping could be heard where the four friends were sitting.

*~*Homeroom*~*

"I can't believe Trunks is moving!" Pan exclaimed in shock. Marron stood up on her chair and waved her arms in the air. She started chanting something about Trunks leaving, earning a glare from Pan.

"What?" Marron asked. "I'm sick of him."

"Yeah, well I like him." Pan retorted and crossed her arms over her chest. She laid her head down on her desk and mumbled something under her breath that Marron didn't quite catch. Marron grinned at her friend and poked her on the back.

"What did you say?" she asked and grinned up at Pan. Pan groaned and glared up at her friend.

"I said, 'I'm really gonna miss Trunks'." Pan said as her face became saddened. Trunks approached the two and saw that Pan wasn't as happy as usual. He sat down next to her and took one of her notebooks, opened to a clean piece of paper, and wrote her a short note. He handed it back to her and she read it with Marron. It read:

"Pan, you look sad, what's wrong my poor little friend? Please tell me."

Pan grinned and wrote a long response to the lavender haired teenager. Pan handed the piece of paper to Trunks and watched him read intently, it read:

"Hi Trunks! How are you? Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me, what ever gave you the idea that there was something wrong with me? Oh and by the way, did you do last nights homework? I kind of forgot to do it cause I was on the Internet watching music videos, and e-mailing Marron and all my other friends. Okay, listen there is something really important that I need to discuss with you and I don't want to discuss it with one of my friends other than Marron. So, I think that all of my friends, excluding You, Goten, and Marron, are all mad at me, could you have any idea why? I mean my friend Sarah yells at me all the time for reasons that I couldn't possibly know, and Kristi scares the living shit out of me, and Natasha ignores me when I talk. Please help me with this crisis!"

Trunks glanced over at Pan and grinned mischievously. He quickly wrote something down on the piece of paper and handed it back to Pan. Once again, Pan and Marron read over it, it read:

"Sorry Pan, can't help you on any of those accounts! Oh and, seriously, what's wrong with you? Earlier you were laying your head on your desk and mumbling curses."

Pan sighed and stood up with the note in hand and threw it away. She was sick of writing notes back and forth to Trunks so after she threw the note away she sat back down and faced Trunks.

"There is nothing wrong with me Trunks." Pan simply said and turned her attention back over to Marron. Trunks rolled his eyes slightly and left the two friends to sit in his assigned seat. Pan inwardly cheered that he was gone, for she wanted to talk to Marron about Trunks moving, and how it burned her up that he was.

"Marron, we gotta talk." Pan said and sighed heavily.

"About what?" Marron asked clueless as to what they were going to talk about. Pan eyed Trunks quickly and nudged Marron in the arm. "Oh…I knew that." Marron grinned and the two huddled up closely to talk.

"Marron, I really want to tell Trunks I like him…but I think he already knows." Pan said.

"What makes you think that?" Marron questioned and scratched the back of her head.

"Hum, I don't know, maybe the fact that at the party we kissed and on the bus we kissed." Pan commented as Marron gasped loudly.

"You know what that means don't you?" Marron squealed in delight.

"What?" Pan asked.

"He likes you!" Marron said and giggled.

"Whatever…" Pan commented. The two talked about what they could do to tell Trunks that Pan liked him for the rest of homeroom period. When the bell rang for first period the students scrambled out of the classroom to arrive to their classes on time, and not late.

"Hey Trunks." Goten said and grinned at Trunks mischievously. He whispered something in Trunks' ear, earning a goofy smile from Trunks and a nod.

"Wanna do it now?" Trunks asked. Goten's grin grew into a smile as he nodded his head in approval. The two teenagers walked up to their substitute teacher, Ms. Drake.

"Hi Ms. Drake, how are you today?" Goten asked happily and nudged Trunks to come closer. The two friends were about to get in major trouble. MAJOR trouble. Goten smirked up at 5 foot 11 inch red headed teacher and opened his mouth to say something very inappropriate for school.

*~*Ten Minutes Later*~*

"We rule." Trunks said as him and Goten gave each other a high five. The two burst into a hysterical laughter. After a few moments they controlled their laughter to a small chuckle.

"Nice comments after what I asked." Goten said and grinned.

"Is it true that red heads give good head?" Trunks asked imitating what Goten asked.

"I mean, we don't know yet cause we haven't been with you." Trunks said imitating Goten. The two started to laugh hysterically again.

The two teenagers were sitting in the office waiting for the principal to talk with them once again. They had been sitting there for about twenty minutes in total silence. Very bored. They both sighed heavily at the same time and placed their faces in their cupped hands.

"Wanna play gay chicken?" Goten asked out of nowhere. Trunks glanced at him strangely and shrugged his shoulders softly. Goten hit himself in the head. "Do you even know what it is?"

"No." Trunks simply said and grinned.

"Its just like chicken, only its where you act like you are going to kiss and move closer and closer until someone pulls away." Goten said.

"Sounds fun. Let's play." Trunks said and both looked at each other in the eyes. They positioned themselves to face each other completely and they started to inch closer to the others face.

"When do we start?" Trunks asked.

"Now." Goten said as his face inched closer to Trunks'. Trunks did the same and also inched his face closer to Goten's. Their faces became closer as they moved closer and closer every thirty seconds. Now only centimeters away from the others lips, Trunks was thinking of stirring his head away from Goten.

"I'm not gonna lose." Goten said breathing on Trunks.

"Neither am I." Trunks said and grinned.

*~*In The Hallway*~*

"They're in there." Marron said and pointed to the office. Pan and Marron both peeked through the small window in the door and searched for the two teenagers, Trunks and Goten. Both gasped at what they saw. Trunks and Goten, less than a centimeter away from the others face. The two girls watched as Trunks and Goten locked lips.

"Ahh!!" Pan, Trunks, Goten, and Marron all yelled at the same time.

"Eww! Eww! Eww!" Trunks yelled as he wiped off his mouth. Goten fell to the floor and wiped his mouth on the carpet. The two of them glanced at each other in disgust.

"I can't believe you kissed me!" Goten yelled.

"I didn't kiss you! You kissed me!" Trunks yelled spitting all over the floor.

Pan and Marron entered the office. "Just what the hell were you two doing?" Marron and Pan asked in unison.

"Playing gay chicken." They stupidly responded and shuddered slightly at the thought of what they did.

"And never, EVER again will I do that again!" Trunks yelled and once again wiped off his lips.

Pan and Marron rolled their eyes and left the office to go to their next class. Leaving Trunks and Goten to wait for the principal. A few moments later, Mrs. Bond came out of her office. Shocked to see Trunks and Goten, she quickly invited them in her office.

*~*Half An Hour Later*~*

"That went well." Trunks commented and grinned.

"I must agree." Goten said and gave Trunks a high five.

The two then went to their next class, so they wouldn't be late for it.

*~*End Of School Day*~*

Trunks, Pan, Marron, and Goten all arrived on the bus and sat down together. Trunks and Goten were sitting in front of Marron and Pan.

"Can I come to your house tonight Marron?" Pan inquired as she glanced up at Marron. Marron smiled at Pan and nodded her head. "Thanks."

"Sure, anytime." Marron responded. They didn't talk until Marron and Pan were off the bus. And Pan and Marron said goodbye to Trunks and Goten.

Pan and Marron entered the house and plopped down on the couch. Both watched TV in silence for about half an hour. The silence was deafening, both Marron and Pan were thinking, pondering, questioning. Finally, Pan sighed.

"Are you gonna tell Trunks?" Marron asked as soon as she heard Pan sigh.

"I don't know. Maybe I will on the day he leaves." Pan commented.

"Okay. That's a good idea." Marron said.

"Yeah I guess it is." Pan said and sighed heavily once again. Marron stood up from the couch and motioned for Pan to follow. Pan groaned slightly and forced herself to stand up. Both of the girls walked into the kitchen and dining room area and searched for something to eat.

"I found bubbly." A less enthusiastic Pan said as she barely raised the 'Sparkling Apple Cider' in the air then lazily dropped it onto the kitchen counter. Marron continued her search for something in the counters.

"I found pizza rolls! Yummy!" Marron said and softly rubbed her belly. "I gots a rumbly in my tumbly how bout you Pan?" Marron contained her laughter as she watched Pan burst out into a hysterical laughter.

"A rumbly in your tumbly?" Pan said rolling on the floor laughing. "Sheesh! You can always make me laugh Marron." Pan placed both her hands on her stomach and patted it. "I gots a rumbly in my tumbly!" Both of the girls started to laugh again. The two discontinued their laughter and began to cook their food.

*~*30 Minutes Later*~*

Pan burped loudly and dumped her body down onto the comfortable couch. Sighing loudly, she turned on the TV and turned the channel to WAM. Once again, the Tribe was on…reruns.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Marron inquired.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?" Pan asked.

"Nothing in particular really." Marron sighed. Pan and Marron sat in silence for a while and watched the reruns of The Tribe. Pan stood up and fumbled over to her backpack to find something. Marron glanced over at her and also stood up and walked over by Pan. "Whatcha looking for?" Marron asked.

"CD." Pan responded. Her hands fumbled around for the CD, she threw out five of her notebooks, her history and math book and even her homework folder, and still she couldn't find it. Pan groaned in agony as she continued to rummage through the bag. She mumbled something under her breath about being unorganized. After completely emptying out her bag, she found her Yellowcard 'One For The Kids' CD. Proudly holding it in the air, she ran over to Marron's CD player and shoved the CD in the CD player.

"What song we listening to?" Marron asked as she saw Pan's fingers press the Search button a few times. Pan turned around and smiled proudly.

"Something Of Value." Pan responded as the music began to play.

All that I need to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
all that I wished that I'd find within you...

See how what she wanted and she needed
Tore it all down in the end
some how like a sickness she infects me
She's simple but deadly my friend

All that I needed to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
all that I wished that I'd find within you

Stings when I see all the ways that you...
Took me for granted and told me it's through
Picked from my pockets and smiled
Empty is nothing and nothing is you
Think I'll just sit for a while

See how what I wanted and I needed
It wasn't enough in the end
Somehow with quickness I forgot her
I realized she wasn't my friend

The two friends listened to Yellowcard the rest of the night and stayed up talking about Trunks and Goten and how cute they were.

"Trunks…I love you." Pan mumbled under her breath while she was sleeping.
