CONGRADUALTIONS TO KRAZY BRUNETTE!!! You had my 200th review!

I'm glad you all liked the last chapter. I'm happy to say that my boyfriend has said that to me and I thought it would be sweet in the fic!

*************

Wait, those weren't raindrops!

"Trunks?" I reached out to wipe the tears. "Are you okay?"

"Pan-chan," He smiled, "you have no idea how happy you make me!" Then, he leaned down.....and kissed me.

*************

It wasn't a breathtaking kiss, nor was it a ground shaking one. However, it still made me feel weak in the knees. It was more of a 'this is how I feel', gentle kind of kiss. He pulled back and looked straight into my eyes. I felt as though he could read my thoughts. And I liked that.

He looked as though if I turned him away, he would just shrink away and never be seen again. He looked scared, but not like he had before, when I scared the living daylights out of everyone. He looked scared....of me.

I smiled gently and floated up to his level. I leaned forward and kissed him like he had kissed me. As I pulled back, I looked into his eyes as he had done to me. We were both smiling a little, but then that changed. He broke out into a grin and grabbed me out of the air in a huge bear hug. He swung me around and slowly came to a stop.

I was crying now and smiling just as much as he was. My tears mixed with the rain that was still coming down as we just stared into each other's eyes.

"Yes, Trunks, I do know how happy I make you." I said quietly.

"Pan! Trunks!" We both jumped as Bulma ruined the moment. "What are you doing out there in the rain! You're both going to get sick!" We rolled our eyes. "Come inside and have some breakfast!" With that, she turned and shut the door. We looked at each other and shook our heads.

"Race ya!" I grinned and took off running towards the door.

"That's cheating!" Trunks yelled back and started running as well. We ran through the front door, through the hall, the formal dining room, the kitchen, and finally to the table on the far side of the kitchen.

We got all the floors wet wherever we had run. Bad idea.

"TRUNKS!!! PAN!!!" Bulma screeched; we both covered our ears. "I JUST HAD THE BOTS CLEAN THIS FLOOR! NOW YOU"RE GOING TO DO IT YOUSELVES!!!"

"Um, okay." We both said, really quietly and quickly ate our food. Trunks put our dishes in the sink and we went to clean up our 'little' mess. He grabbed two mops that have this thing that you push down and they fold in half and squeeze the water out. He also grabbed a bucket.

"Well, I guess we better do this." Trunks sighed. I grinned and levitated off the ground. I put the mop on the floor and took off down the hallway. "Pan!" Trunks yelled after me. "What do you think you're doing? Mom doesn't allow us to fly in the house!" He ran up behind me where I had stopped to squeeze the water out of my mop.

"Yeah," I said, turning towards him, "well, what she doesn't know can't hurt me." He bit his lip and looked behind me. I gulped. "She's right behind me, isn't she?" He nodded. I turned around slowly, still a foot off the floor. I grinned sheepishly and dropped my feet to the ground with a thud.

"Um...hi?" I said, still grinning. "I was cleaning?"

"Yeah, well, no more flying." Bulma replied, hands on her hips. I nodded. "I'll come back and check on you two in a little while." She walked away, probably back to her lab.

"Don't even say it." I said, turning toward Trunks. He grinned.

"I told you so!"

"AAAARGH!" I yelled, trying really hard not to laugh. "I thought I told-" I was cut off by a pair of lips pressing on mine. He pulled back and smirked.

"I still told you so." I rolled my eyes at him and started mopping again. It didn't take us too long to finish. We ended up playing a game to see who could get the most water in their bucket, but it didn't work out too well because there wasn't enough water to fill the buckets even one-fourth of the way up. The two of us dumped our buckets out off the front porch and walked back inside.

"Do you want to go to the mall today?" Trunks asked.

"Uh... sure." I answered. "Think we should invite Bra and Goten, too?"

"Okay!" Trunks replied. "I'll go call Goten; you can deal with Bra." He said that as though she was the worst thing in to world right now. Guess she wasn't much of a morning person. That was okay, though, because I had a secret weapon!

I made my way upstairs and to Bra's room. She looked so silly! She was all tangled in the sheets and she was about to fall our of her bed. I decided to do what I used to do to her when I would sleep over.

"BRA!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "TIME TO GO TO THE MALL! WE"RE GONNA BE LATE!" She gave a shriek and fell out of her bed with a thump.

"PAN!" She screeched. "I thought I told you not to do that!" I was laughing so hard at the look on her face that I didn't answer. "Wait... did you say go to the mall?!" I could only nod. "Is Goten going? I have to get ready! When is he going to get here? How much time do I have?!" I only laughed harder. You see, she was sitting on the floor next to her bed. Her blankets were still tangled around her and her hair was all messy.

"Calm down, Bra." I laughed. She crossed her arms and glared at me. I calmed myself down and said, "Trunks is calling Goten right now. Most likely, he's still asleep, too, so that gives you enough time."

"Oh, okay." Bra answered simply. I rolled my eyes at her and went to find some clothes. I was still wearing my pajamas and they were still soaked. I just noticed how cold I was and began to shiver. As I walked towards my room to get clothes, I passed Trunks.

"Goten said he'll be here in about an hour." Trunks said. I nodded. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm just cold." I answered.

"Oh, okay." He took my hand and brought it up to his mouth to kiss it. However, before he did, he jumped and gasped.

"Holy crap, Pan-chan!" He exclaimed. "You said that you were cold! You're freezing!" I nodded while shivering.

"I'm going to take a shower, so don't worry about it." I answered. He still looked worried, though.

"Okay," he sighed, "I just can't help but worry about you." A light blush came across his cheeks. I smiled at him.

"It's okay. I don't mind, really." I was being sarcastic.

"Well, good." Trunks grinned. "I'll tell Bra that she has an hour before we leave." He kissed me on the lips and continued down the hall. I stared after him for a minute before going into my room and grabbing some clothes.

***

After my shower, pulled my hair up into a messy bun after getting dressed. I brushed my teeth and hung up my towel. Then, I walked to find Bra to borrow a little make-up from her. I don't know why I felt like wearing make-up, but I did.

"Bra?" I asked, knocking on her bathroom door. I could hear her brushing her teeth. "Can I borrow some make-up?" She threw the door open and gaped at me, her toothbrush almost falling out of her mouth.

"You want to borrow make-up?!" She asked.

"Yeah, could I?"

"Of course you can!" She finished brushing her teeth and pulled out her make-up. "Can I put it on you?"

"Sure, I guess so." I answered, remembering when I would run as fast as I could away from her so as not to have make-up put on.

"Okay, close your eyes." Bra ordered. I laughed and closed my eyes. A few minutes later, she told me to open them up. I looked in the mirror and gasped. I knew she hadn't put on much make-up, but it was just enough. I decided that I liked the make-up.

"You're going to have to show me how to do that!"

"Okay! We'll get you some make-up while we're at the mall today!" Bra said excitedly.

"Sounds good." I agreed. After she put on her own make-up, we walked downstairs and saw Trunks and Goten sitting on the couch watching TV.

"You two ready to go?" Trunks asked, not looking away from the TV.

"Yep, we are." Bra said, looking at Goten, who was also absorbed in the TV show. Trunks turned off the TV and got up and looked towards us.

"Well, let's....go...then." I stumbled over his words as he looked at me. He walked towards the door and whispered in my ear as he passed, "you look great!" I blushed a little, causing him to smirk.

"Where are you going?" Bulma asked, passing through to the stairs.

"To the mall." Trunks answered.

"Oh, good. Pan, Bra, you both need to find a dress." Bulma said to us.

"Why?" We both asked at one time.

"Well, Pan's birthday is next weekend!" Bulma answered, seeming surprised.
