I Kept My Promise

Pan looked at her King. Trunks stepped around her to speak.

"Dad..."

"Move aside boy. The girl will answer me not you!" Vegeta cut off whatever Trunks was going to say.

Trunks looked at his father and stepped away from Pan so his father could see her.

"Now girl. I have a mission for you."

Pan nodded at her king.

"You are to go to the dragon planet..."

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! YOU CAN'T JUST SEND HER THERE!!! NOT LIKE YOU DID WITH GOTEN..."

"SILENCE BOY!!!" Yelled the king.

Trunks fell silent and took a step back.

Vegeta then looked back at Pan.

"You will continue on the task that everyone has failed to do so far. I suggest you get a strong crew." Said Vegeta.

Trunks turned to Pan and looked at her. Hoping her answer would be no.

"Yes your majesty I will leave in a week." Said Pan as she bowed and turned to leave the throne room.

Trunks looked at his and was going to say something but decided not to. He turned on his heel and ran after Pan.

"Pan!" Yelled Trunks as he caught up with her.

Pan stopped and turned around to look at her friend. Trunks put his hands on her shoulders and looked into Pan's eyes.

"Pan you can't do this...You have to reconsider and train here...Take another mission at least...You can't just leave..."

"Trunks I have to do this...Who else will take revenge for Goten?"

"Well at least let me come with you I can..."

Pan cut Trunks off. "Trunks no...Please I wouldn't be able to stand if I lost you to."

Trunks looked at Pan.

"Pan I..." Trunks was cut off by a guard who came to get Pan so she could choose her crew for the mission.

Pan looked at Trunks and smiled.

"I'll talk to you later...Come to my room in about an hour." Said Pan as she walked off with the guard.

Trunks watched Pan leave and sighed. He was such a fool, he should have told her long ago. Then maybe she wouldn't have taken this stupid mission. Trunks sighed and walked down the hall. He needed to let go of some steam so he decided to go to the training hall and train a bit.

Vegeta had gathered some of his finest warriors for Pan to choose. Pan walked up and down the line looking at each saiyan.

Pan picked four males and a female. Garreth was among these males he was twenty-two years old. Then there was Jase a tall saiyan that was at least forty years old, but was a really tough saiyan, in fact one of the best. After him was a saiyan called Grant he was medium in height and about Trunks' age. Then there was Brian who was pretty small slightly taller than Pan. And the female was Kida's daughter Lacey who was Pan's height, she was a year younger than Pan but she was just as good as the rest.

With that settled Pan told them the mission and told them if anyone wanted to back out now was the time for they would not be backing out at the last minute. None of the five left. So Pan had her crew and was ready to go. But she had told Trunks she wasn't leaving now.

Pan walked out of the room and down the hall and into her room where she found Trunks looking out her window.

"What was it...Seven years ago when we stood here looking out this window...Hoping Goten would return...Now I'll be the one standing here alone watching...Waiting...Hoping for your safe return..." said Trunks without looking at Pan.

Pan walked up to Trunks and looked out the window as well.

"Trunks...I...I have..."

"I know...You have to do this...But couldn't you let someone else do it?"

"Trunks he was our friend...And I want to do this...I have to take this mission Trunks."

Trunks said nothing; he just stood still, looking out the window.

"Well I guess I just have to let you go as well..." whispered Trunks.

Pan looked at Trunks then back out the window. It was hard for her to leave her friend, and she knew it was hard for him as well.

"Pan?"

"Hmmm?"

"I once promised you that I would never go to the dragon planet...I promised I wouldn't leave you...I kept my promise...I was ordered to go to that planet of hell about three years ago...But I had to keep my promise...I know you didn't promise me anything but I just had to let you know."

Pan looked at Trunks and was speechless. She never thought that he would actually keep that promise. He was the type that would follow orders from his king. Even if the king was his father.

"Trunks...I...Thank you..."

"Well I should go now...I'll see you around." Said Trunks as he left.

Pan walked to her bed and sat down. He could have left and yet he kept his promise, for her. She really felt bad but she knew she had to do this.

Well things are getting pretty hard for these two friends. Will Trunks let her know how he really feels about her before it's to late? Well we'll find out in the next chapter. Like I said before, hope you enjoyed this chapter. And thanks to all those who reviewed! ^.^
