A/N: Hey, Sorry I haven't pdated. I've been on vacation. Enjoy!!
Disclaimer: If I said I did, what would ya do?
Bulma turned to Vegeta. He had a look in his eyes, one of knowledge. She raised her eyebrows at him. He glanced at her.
"They're together again."
"What do you mean?"
"You heard me. Like when they were in the restraunt and on that bridge and now they're at his apartment. I think I'll go break it up."
"Why, Vegeta? Why can't you just let them love eachother. What harm could possibly come from them being happy?"
"Lots. I don't want the blood of my family line tainted with theirs."
"Love knows no boundries, Vegeta! You don't want your blood line tainted? What happened when you fell for me? Didn't my blood taint yours? Or is there something special about mine? Is it just different? Am I special?" Bulma asked, going crimson.
"Love knows no boundries?" Vegeta questioned with a smirk.
Bulma stared at him wide-eyed. Memories flashing of all the boys who had liked her and she had turned down because they weren't handsome enough.
"If I hadn't looked the way I do, I don't think you would have thought twice about loving me. Love knows thousands of boundries!" Vegeta said with a smirk.
Bulma continued to stare, "That's not true!" She yelled breaking into tears, "I loved you becuase of what's on the inside, not the outside."
"Oh really, so you wouldn't mind the world staring wide-eyed at the tv screen becuase your beauty was defiled by your husbands ugliness? You wouldn't care that the world would see your ugly husband and begin to think less of you?"
"Not ever--" Bulma began to say before cut off.
"Your quite right my dear, some people would think you to be brave and not self-centered, but you must remember everyone else. More of the world would be interested in you having a handsome husband!" Vegeta yelled laughing.
"You're right, Vegeta." Bulma paused, stiffling her tears, "I needed a husband who wasn't reched looking. Even if he wasn't rich, that didn't matter, I didn't need what money he might have had," She paused again, looking down at the floor. "However it might have been for me, Trunks doesn't have to follow in my foot prints. As much as I wanted him to run Capsule Corp., I can't force him to and even if he did Pan is pretty enough to satisfy the world."
"Oh, but you misunderstand me. I'm not saying Pan hasn't grown up to be a beautiful young lady, I was just telling you that love has boundries. A prince cannot marry a peasant without outrage from the citizens. The fairytales are just that. No royal has ever married a commoner."
"But you did! You married me! I am but a commoner. Not a royal! So, why shouldn't Trunks be able to marry a peasant or a commoner. Or whoever he likes for that matter?"
"Bulma, Bulma, Bulma. You're definetly not a peasant. You're not a royal for that matter, but this world does not have those stations. See Bulma if your planet went by those stations, you would be a princess. Your family is the richest. The Son's is some of the poorest, but since you were among the richer, you seemed suitable enough for me."
"So, you've never loved me? What about ChiChi? What's wrong with her? She's a princess! Wait! Pan is a princess, too! Her family might not be rich, but they are definetly of royal heritage! You see, if Pan and Trunks were to be married it would be as if Trunks were marrying a princess from a far away land! Ha! There is no reason why you should have for Pan and Trunks not to be happy together!"
Vegeta stared at Bulma dumbly. How had she proven him wrong once again? She always seemed to do this. No matter what. Bulma began to laugh and poke him in the chest, saying words at him that he couldn't understand. Finally coming to his senses, he looked down at Bulma.
"So, you have proven me wrong once again, but," Vegeta stopped as Bulma gave him a look.
He laughed and led her out of the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Pan opened her eyes and looked around the darkened room with a yawn, "Trunks?" She questioned, forgetting where she was.
She felt an arm wrap around her and nuzzled closer to the warmth. Inhaling deeply for a scent, she pulled back. This wasn't Trunks! Bringing light into her hands she looked at the persons features and memories came flooding back. Liam.
Pan assured Liam she was alright and left to take a shower. When she came out 30 minutes later Liam was sitting at the table eating breakfast. she sat across from him and began to eat. Liam left the table while she was half-way done. Weird. Pan thought. He normally waits until I'm done.
Liam walked from Pan. He was sorry he couldn't spend more time with her, but he had to correct his mistake. Trunks had seen me kiss Pan. I need to go prove to him that it was all my fault. Pan will never love me.
Liam began to walk out the door. He paused and quickly pulled on a cot before continuing the trek outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Trunks opened his eyes as the sun bore through his eyelids. The sweat continued to drip down his forehead. What had Pan tried to say? Something about Liam?
"What, you don't remeber kissing Liam in the hospital, right in front of my face? Or did that part slip your mind when you were savoring my lips?"
"What? I would never do such a thing! Liam........ he ........ I don't care! Seeing as to how much trust you have in me, I don't think I want to see you again!"
"Good, because I don't want to ever see you, you stupid girl!"
"Girl? You act as if I'm a child!"
"You are! And you're being a whore!"
"I am not! Liam, I want to go!"
"Good, because i was about to kick you out!"
"Oh, now I remember." Trunks said to the bright room as he stirred from the flashback.
So, if she says she didn't do anything............., but Liam didn't say anything either. Someones keeping something and for some odd reason I'm begging to believe it's not Pan.
He jumped from the bed and ran towards the phone, about to call Pan, he stopped. No, I can't call her. Liam will probably answer or if Pan does she won't talk to me.
"What am I supposed to do?" Trunks yelled out, looking up at his ceiling as if it would answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Liam jumped into his car and drove as fast as he could, the wind whipping his hair. He looked at the street names as they flew by, finally stopping at one and turning to the right. As he reached the 5th house he slowed the car and turned into the drive way and shut off the car. Shoving the keys in his pocket, he stepped from the car and began to walk towards the door.
As the ringing sound faded, the door was opened and the purple-haired saiyan began to ask, "What ya need?"
He recognized the man and was slightly scared. Why would he be over here without Pan? Did something happen to her?
"Did something happen to Pan?" He heard the words fall from his mouth but didn't remember forming them.
"Well, not really." Trunks let go of a sigh, "But she is extremely sad. I must tell you something. Is it okay if we go inside?"
"Sure." Why am I being so nice to him? Trunks wondered, but allowed Liam to enter.
Trunks led him into the kitchen and sat down in one of the chairs. Liam sat in the chair across from him and began to pour out a story.
"Listen, Pan had nothing to do with the kiss you saw in the hospital. It wasn't her fault at all. You see, I've begun to fall for Pan, but I realize that I can never have her, seeing as to how she entrapped in you. She hasn't been very happy lately. Infact, she woke up this morning and yelled out your name. I have no idea what she was dreaming about, but when I came to comfort her she shook me off. You have to believe me, Pan will never love me, but I'm sure she'll always love you. I'll be gone tomorrow from 12:30 to 3:00 tomorrow."
Trunks took the hint and began to laugh, "You really do want her to be happy. What are you doing tomorrow?"
"I'm gonna go visit my sister. She called and said she was ill. Gohan's promised I could go visit her and ChiChi gave me some of her food."
"Yum, food made by ChiChi. I wish our families weren't in a fued, then I could eat that instead of take-out and my mothers horrible food."
Liam and Trunks laughed together, "I'll ask ChiChi if she'll make some and I'll leave it in the freezer for you. I have to be going before Pan gets suspicious. Bye."
Trunks showed Liam to the door before heading back inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Pan sat on the couch tapping her foot. Where had Liam gone to? She knew he was going to see his sister tomorrow, but that's no reason for him to be gone now. Unless of course he went to pick her up a present. What a sweet brother.
Pan's head cocked to the side as the door creaked open. Liam walked through the door with a glint of mischief in his eyes. As she looked at the bulk in his arms, Pan rushed to help him. He had picked up ChiChi's food, and what was that he had. It must be a present for her. I wonder what it is. I'll ask him later.
The thing Pan thought was a present went with Liam into his room. The food she set on the counter and crept up to his door, it was slammed in her face. She rubbed her nose and walked back into the kitchen. Why was there so much food she wondered as she stared at the two bulky bags. If this is just for his sister, why so much? Maybe there'll be other people. No, I could have sworn he said something about it being just a nurse and her. Weird, maybe he wanted some for another time. We can ask him about that, too.
Liam came back out of the room and went over to the food some of it went into the fridge and the rest was put into the freezer.
Pan couldn't hold it in any longer, "Liam, what did you get your sister? And why is there so much of ChiChi's cooking?"
Liam turned around and gave her a look, "Nosy, aren't we?"
"Very, now tell!"
"I got her a teddy bear and a couple of other things. The extra food is for later."
"Oh. Okay!" Pan said and left the kitchen.
