Last time:
"Yeah. Are you hungry?"
"Yep!"
"Good because my mom's making lunch!"
"Great!" I jumped up off the couch. I quickly landed back there, though, due to a feeling of light-headedness. After it wore off, I stood up slowly and was relieved to find no light-headedness this time.

After eating lunch with and telling Goten about the club tonight, I tried to figure out a way home. That's when Goten suggested I use Nimbus, Grandpa Goku's old cloud. I agreed and we stepped outside.
"Flying Nimbus!" Goten bellowed. A few seconds later, a puffy yellow-ish cloud zoomed in front of us. "This is my niece, Pan." Goten told it. (I had never ridden on Nimbus before, only heard about it). "I want you to listen to her, okay?" The cloud bounced around happily. We took that as a yes. I climbed onto it and we took off. I waved to Goten as we rose higher and higher.
"I know! Let's go bother Trunks at work!" The cloud turned towards Satan City and we were off. We soon could see the C.C. building. As we got closer, I could see Trunks sitting at his desk with his back to the window, working. At least, it looked like he was working. In reality, he was probably just pretending.
I tapped on the glass when we got up to the window. I had stood up on Nimbus and it floated just below the windowsill, also just out of Trunks' view. Trunks turned around and did a double take. He then stuck his head out the window that was still broken.
"Oh, Pan-chan. Don't scare me like that." He muttered, then motioned me over. He held out his hands, which I took, and he helped me through the window, making sure I didn't hit any of the sharp glass. Nimbus flew away. "Want to help me?" He asked, gesturing to all the paperwork on his desk.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked, looking at it.
"Well, could you take these to Melody, please?" He stacked two piled of papers in my arms and turned me towards the door. I started walking towards it, but he phased out and appeared in front of me, holing the door open. I walked out, to Melody's desk.
She was on the phone when I came around front. However, she smiled her greeting and held up her pointer finger, meaning 'just a minute'. I nodded. She soon ended the call, scribbling down a message.
"So, Pan, what does Slave-driver Trunks have you doing this time?" She asked jokingly.
"Pretty much whatever he needs." I laughed. "He told me to bring these to you."
"Okay, just put them here." She cleared a spot on her desk where I set the stacks down. "Would you take this to Trunks, please?" She held up the note she had taken a few minutes ago.
"Of course," I answered, taking the note from her.
"Oh yeah, Trunks had to explain the broken window to me. Are you okay?"
"Yep, thanks for asking. I'll see you later." I walked back into Trunks' office. "Did you tell her about our heritage?" I asked while handing him the note.
"Yeah, she walked in a few times as I was flying away. I trust her. Joe knows, too. They both thought it was pretty cool."
"Oh, okay." I replied. "What do you want me to do now?"
"Well, right now your ki feels a little low, so I want you to take a nap." He pointed to a very comfortable looking couch. A nap did sound good right now... but wait...
"Do you think taking those stacks of papers to Melody really took that much out of me?"
"No, it felt weak since I left you at Goten's house."
"Oh, okay..." I muttered. I went and laid down on the couch, my back to Trunks. The only sound in the room was the steady sound of him typing. Right as I was about to fall asleep, he stopped typing and I heard him get up. The blanket that was on the back of the couch was thrown over me.
"I'll wake you in a little while." Trunks whispered and kissed my cheek.
"Okay, thanks." I whispered sleepily back.
******
A little while later, I woke up to Trunks shaking me gently. I opened my eyes slowly, wondering where I was. I sat up and looked around, seeing that I was in Trunks' office. Then I wondered how long he had let me sleep, as it was starting to get dark outside.
"What time is it?" I asked him.
"About 6:30." He answered. I jumped off the couch. 6:30!! We were supposed to go to the club tonight!! "What's wrong?" Trunks asked.
"Bra wanted to go to a club tonight! I forgot all about that!"
"Don't worry about it. She called before, wondering where you were. I told her that you were here and she told me what's going on tonight. We're not going until 8:00, so I decided to let you sleep."
"Oh, okay."
"Yep. We should get going, though. She'll take forever if you're going to let her do your hair and stuff." I gave him an odd look and he smiled sheepishly.
"Whatever. Okay, let's go." I folded the blanket up and put it back on the couch, then followed Trunks out of the office. We said goodbye to Melody and left the building. Trunks decided we should fly, seeing as it would be faster. I was about to call Nimbus when he scooped me into his arms and took off. I buried my face in his chest from surprise.
"Gee, Pan-chan, I'd have thought that you'd be used to that by now!" Trunks smirked.
"Well, Trunks-kun, I just wasn't expecting it."
"Yeah, right. I just think you like doing that." He answered, still smirking. I blushed and looked down towards the ground to hide it. "That's what I thought." I just shook my head, trying to get rid of the redness.
A little while later, I could tell we were getting closed to home. We were starting to reach the edge of the city; the lights were becoming less dense. I yawned and rested my head on Trunks' chest.
"You sure you're up to this club tonight?" Trunks asked, noticing my yawn.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I think that nap you made me take did me some good." I smiled.
"Okay." Trunks said. We soon landed on the front lawn and walked inside. I was immediately grabbed by Bra and Marron and started to be dragged up the stairs.
"Trunks! Help me!" I laughed. He grinned and waved.
"Have fun, Pan-chan! I'll see you later!" He laughed and walked towards the kitchen while I was dragged the rest of the way up the stairs.
"Bra! Marron! I can walk by myself!" I laughed again. The let me go and we made our way to Bra's bedroom. I sat on Bra's bed, waiting for them to decide what I should wear. Bra came out of her over-sized closet carrying a small pile of clothes.
"Okay, Pan, you can choose from these. Just pick something that looks like you." Marron had brought her own clothes to change into and had gone into Bra's bathroom to change. I didn't really like anything Bra had picked out, but oh well. I didn't really have much of a choice; it was either wear what Bra picked out, or.... wear what Bra picked out. See? not much of a choice there.
I chose a pair of black leather pants and a blue top. Both were tight fitting. I also had on a pair of black knee-high combat-like boots. Bra did my make-up and Marron did my hair. I made sure, though, that Bra didn't put too much on, but enough to cover the bruise. I don't really like the feel, and I wanted to look somewhat natural. Marron had pulled all my hair up and then put it in a messy bun, similar to what I had put in earlier, but still a little different.
They had both gotten ready while the other was working with me. So, now we were all ready. As we walked down the stairs, I noticed that Trunks, Goten, and a man I'm guessing was Uubu, were standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for us.
Trunks smiled at me as I got to the bottom. "See," he said. "This is why I didn't 'save' you; I knew you'd look great. Not that you didn't before." I smiled at him.
"Thanks."
"Well, are we ready to go?" Bra asked, obviously anxious to get going.
"Yeah, I think so." Marron answered. We nodded in agreement and made our way out the door.
"Looks like we'll have to take two cars." Bra said.
"Yeah," Trunks agreed. "Pan and I will take my car, anyone else?"
"Sure, Goten and I will. That okay with you, Marron?"
"Of course." She smiled at Uubu, who grinned back. Bra rolled her eyes and we got into Trunks' car. I sat in the front, While Bra and Goten were in back. We pulled out of the driveway, Uubu and Marron following behind.
The ride was taken mostly in silence... except for the noises made by Bra and Goten. I noticed Trunks looking at me out of the corner of his eye and made gagging motions, then gestured towards Goten and Bra. Trunks laughed and nodded in agreement. Thankfully, the ride to the club was fairly short, so we didn't have to put up with them for too long.
As we got out of the car, Trunks said to me, "Remind me to never let them ride with us ever again." I laughed and nodded.
