Pan woke up early as usual and turned over in Trunks' arms, he opened one of his eyes and brought her closer to him, he began to kiss her suavely, running his hands through her hair. She began to giggle, but suppressed it for the comfort and joy that came from kissing him. They stopped for a quick breath, but soon were at it again.

Then, suddenly someone burst through the door, ripping it off its hinges and blowing a strong amount of raw energy through the room. Pan and Trunks broke it off to look up in utter astonishment at Gohan. He growled, seething with anger. Pan gave him a weak grin and he seemed to get madder. Trunks quickly stepped out of the bed, fully clothed, which seemed to calm Gohan down a little bit. Pan, noticing Gohan's reaction to seeing Trunks fully clothed, followed his example and stepped from the bed, although she was not fully clothed Gohan seemed satisfied with a long shirt and a thong. Pan looked down at the rumpled sheets and then quickly back up at her father with anger coursing through her veins.

"Why did he have to do this? Why couldn't he appreciate her finding someone she loved as much as her family? What did it matter where he came from, all that should matter is what he is now, a perfect gentleman. Her father never heard her complaining about how he took advantage of her, not that he had." All these questions ran through her head as she stared at her father with venom

Finally she shouted out, "Why are you doing this?"

"It's for your own good! Go find someone worth your time! Someone who will treat you with love and caring! Not this piece of trash you found in the garbage! Why couldn't you have just left him behind? That's why we moved!" Gohan yelled at her, it seemed that even though he had cooled off, he was even angrier than before.

Trunks stared at Gohan, thinking over what he had said, but Pan didn't take any time, "I hate you! You're never happy with anything, my love life, my grades, or anything else. One day when you least expect it, I'll be gone and it'll be your entire fault!" Pan screamed back at him, hinting of a suicide attempt, which scared both Trunks and Gohan. Pan pulled up enough energy to fly and took off out the open window, leaving scattered papers and two shocked men.

Trunks needed only seconds to realize Pan could be going to kill herself now, but, no, she said 'when you least expect it' and Pan wouldn't lie, but Gohan didn't think that far ahead he began to take off. Trunks grabbed one of his feet and shook his head. Gohan's brain began to wonder why he would do that, but then it clicked and he landed on the floor with one of his feet. Trunks quickly let go of Gohan's other leg, allowing him time to escape as Gohan gained his balance.

Gohan regained his balance and looked around for Trunks, but he was gone. "Well at least they're separated." Gohan thought and began walking out of the room, but decided he would check on them periodically.

Months passed, but nothing very interesting happened. Pan and Trunks had varied meetings, but were never caught. Gohan made checks on them regularly enough.

Five months after the last time Pan and Trunks had been caught, Pan was heading out of her house towards her car and jumped in and was soon headed down the road towards a small diner where she and Trunks had planned on meeting. Pan's face was covered in a huge smile; her black sunglasses matched her multi-colored skirt and black shirt. Her dark hair was caressing her shoulders and billowing in the wind.

As she pulled into the diner she saw a purple haired god standing in the doorway of a convertible very similar to hers. She grinned as he strode towards her and opened the door, offering a hand as she steeped out. Pan accepted the hand and they walked briskly into the diner. They were given a table quickly when the waiter realized who they were.

They turned towards each other and smiled. The waiter stopped in front
of a comfortably
small table where she set down the silverware, he pulled back a chair
for Pan and then left. Pan
leaned across the table to meet Trunks' kiss and then pulled away
after a sweet, but short kiss.

"So, I see you're happy today. Did Gohan finally say you could
marry me if I offered?"
Trunks questioned with a smile that stated he knew it wasn't true.

Pan giggled, managing to control herself long enough to reply,
"No, but something good did
happen today."

"What?" Trunks asked, placing his chin in the cup of his hands.

"Well, I went to see my mom and she said she was talking to your
mother on a pay
phone at the mall and that your family was coming to visit in a week
and so I could
reacquaint myself with her." Pan ended to a funny look from Trunks.

"Yeah, but I didn't realize that would make you so happy." Trunks ended as the waiter came back.

"Can I get you all something to drink?"

"Can I have a coke?" Pan asked.

"I'll have an iced tea." Trunks said and then turned back to Pan to continue talking, "Well, in any case, they're coming over during Thanksgiving. I bet if you disguised yourself," Trunks stopped to make sure the waiter had left, "And your ki then dad would never know, but you certainly do look a lot different than you did when you were eight so dad might not notice."

"True, so did you want me to come over as your girlfriend then for Thanksgiving?" Pan asked and then added as a second thought, "But then what about my Thanksgiving, if I went over to your house I couldn't go to mine."

"True, but I think my family is going to eat pretty early, like five- ish." Trunks replied, trying to think of a solution to allow Pan to go to both Thanksgivings."

"Alright, I can try to arrange it so we have Thanksgiving at eight or so, but you have to make sure yours is at five." Pan said, giving him a stern look.

"Can do, will do, done. Now we're going to have to dress nice. Do you want to get a new dress, or you can wear an older one. Your pick." Trunks said grabbing at the glass the waiter had just sat down.

"Sorry to interrupt, but do you know what you want to eat?" The waiter asked placing one hand inside of his apron and letting the other one dangle at his side.

"Yes, we're ready." Pan said and then began to place her order, "I'll have a corn beef sandwich with chips and an extra order of French fries."

"What is your soup of the day?" Trunks asked, giving the man an inquisitive glance.

"Chicken Enchilada." The waiter replied with a bored look.

"Alright, I'll have that and a grilled cheese."

"Okay, I'll be back with your orders as soon as possible." The man said and walked off towards the kitchen.

"Gee, our waiter sure is blah."

"Wouldn't you be if you got minimum wage and had to deal with idiots all day." Pan retorted.

"What are you talking about? Sure, I get a high pay, but I still work with more idiots than he does and at least the customers he has to work with doesn't stay there all day long." Trunks said with a grin and his tongue sticking out.

"Oh, hush." Pan replied. "Now back to what we were saying, I would like to get a new dress. Can we go after lunch?" Pan took a sip of her drink, "And then, after we get the dress, you can call Bulma and make sure y'all have dinner early and I'll call ChiChi to make sure we have ours late."

"Deal!" Trunks yelled, quietly.

Pan and Trunks received their meal and ate quickly with little conversation. Mainly Pan wanted to finish so she could go dress shopping and then, after calling ChiChi and leaving Trunks, she had a secret plan. As they finished their meal Trunks grabbed the check the waiter had left and took it up to the cashier, tossing the keys to pan as he left. Pan quickly took the keys and walked out the door to Trunks' convertible, after all, they had decided to take his car and come back for hers. Pan sat down in the passenger seat and waited on Trunks. He came out about two minutes later and hopped over the door and into the driver's seat, where he turned the key and began to take off.

Gohan turned around and hung up the phone. Where was his daughter? She wasn't at home or she would have picked up. "Well, I better check up on her ki and Trunks'." Gohan thought and went into a meditation. He began to look for his daughter's ki and then for Trunks'.

Videl placed her knife down and began to scoop the onions into the pot when she heard a cold scream erupt from the living room and felt a burst of energy as a vase dropped to the floor. "Oh shit!" Videl thought as she began to run into the living room. "He must have found Pan and Trunks together again." She reached the living room in just enough time to see Gohan escape through the window. Videl snapped her fingers as she came up with a plan.

She ran over to the phone and quickly dialed up Tien's number. The phone rang until finally someone picked up, "Tien, I need your help. Gohan's about to beat the crap out of Trunks because he's with Pan. Can you call everyone and have them meet Gohan before he does anything?"

"Sure, anything else?"

"Nope. See you there." Videl replied hurriedly and hung up the phone before flying out the window after Gohan.

Trunks stopped the car and went to the other side to let Pan out. Pan took his hand and stepped out of the car, placing a kiss on his cheek as thanks. They began to walk inside the mall hand-in-hand. As they reached the door, Trunks stopped and looked around.

"What's wrong?" Pan asked.

"You can't feel it? Someone extremely powerful is coming towards us."

Pan began to look around and feel the energy, "Trunks, hide! That's my dad! He knows we're together!"

Trunks looked wildly around, but couldn't find a place to hide in time. Gohan landed five feet from where they were standing in Super Saiyan two. Pan and Trunks turned to look at each other, both of their faces displayed a look of horror.

"Daddy, calm down. I know this might look bad, but we're not doing anything bad. Trunks is just taking me shopping with his money."

Gohan growled, "Shut up, Pan! I thought I had taught you better than this. Did you not understand from last time?" Gohan yelled in anger.

"But..."

"No buts. I'm sick and tired of this. The only way you're ever going to be able to be with him is to kill me first. So come on Trunks. You love Pan, don't you?" Gohan asked and Trunks replied with a nod, "Then come get me."

"I can't Gohan. Your daughter wouldn't love me if I did and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." Trunks said with a shake of his head.

"Well, then I guess you're not going to do anything with my daughter ever again." Gohan said with a smirk.

Pan burst out in anger, her ki rising significantly, but not enough to top Super Saiyan. "I'm sick and tired of this too, dad! Why can't you let me do what I want?"

Gohan stared at his daughter, having nothing to say.

Pan turned her back on Gohan and said, "Trunks, I love you!" She choked back a couple of tears and then took off towards the diner.

Gohan followed close behind and Trunks merely stood there, "I love you too, Pan!!!!!!!" He yelled after the fading figure.

Pan flew quickly, but was overpowered by Gohan. He flew beside her, not saying a word, but looking at her with an apologetic face. Pan chose not to say anything to him, forgiving or anything. They finally reached the diner and Pan landed in her car. She pulled out her keys and revved up the engine. Pan took off just as Gohan landed, but he didn't bother to follow her.

Pan drove into the street. She began to go above the speed limit, road rage overcoming her. She was headed towards a cliff she had spent many long hours on as a child, trying to calm after fights she had had with her father. It wasn't very far from the diner, only a mere twenty minutes. She reflected on her life, it hadn't been the best, but good enough. The best part of her life had been with Trunks, including their first kiss, even if, as she thought about it, it was absolutely wrong, then again their romance now could easily be considered wrong in general. Is that why her father didn't like it? No, that may be a part of it, but it couldn't be enough. She knew past every bad thing in her father that he wasn't so horrible to separate something on one thing. He had to have several reasons, she hoped. Pan looked up and wiped her eyes as she came out of her memories, she'd have plenty of time to remember in hell. The cliff loomed just another five miles ahead. Pan felt a rush of guilt as she quickly crept closer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trunks took off into the air, following Pan's ki. He stared at the ground as it zoomed by, he hoped Pan wasn't going to try to do what he thought she was going to do, but figured his luck wasn't very high today. All he could hope for was that he could get to her before she did any serious damage to herself. Trunks began to think back on what had happened before she had moved. He had known she was leaving, even if she hadn't, and he hadn't done anything to stop it, which infuriated him. All he was able to do was kiss her and then quickly leave. Why hadn't he done something? The least he could have done was to try and stop Gohan, or kidnap Pan and run away with her, but no, he had to kiss her and slip her a picture of him. "Way to go, Trunks!" He thought to himself. Trunks eyes refocused on the ground below, his eyes coming out of their haze.

There it was, or so he thought. Pan's car was flying down the road; she was getting pretty close to a large cliff. Was this how she planned to get back at Gohan? By killing herself? Did she not realize it would only result in pain for him, too? He had to stop her, before her life ... No! I have to save her! Trunks did a dive towards Pan's car, landing slightly behind it, he grabbed a hold of the back of the car and pushed all his weight down to slow the car, but it resisted. He skid behind the car as a man on skis does behind a boat. The soles in his shoes were coming off, but that was the least of his concerns. He could feel the car slowing, but not quickly enough. His frustration pushed him into Super Saiyan two and he began to feel the change, but could it happen fast enough? They were only thirty yards from the edge of the cliff and his hands were dripping with sweat, making his hands slip from the bumper. He knew if he let go Pan would punch it and be gone forever, he knew he wouldn't be able to stand himself if that did happen. Then suddenly, he felt a strong power beside him, it was Goku, but how could that be? Goku had died several years ago. He looked beside him, but no one was there. The car stopped right at the edge with the two front wheels hanging over the edge, but Trunks didn't let go for fear of the car slipping. He hhHhjlkdsjflkds He hauled it back up and tore off the two wheels, disabling it, and then walked towards the front door.

He yanked it off and reached inside to pull out Pan, his hands found purchase on delicate, smooth skin. He slowly pulled the body out and pulled it to his chest. Pan's wide eyes stared up at him. He placed his lips upon hers and was soon enveloping her. Pan tore her lips away and tried to pull away, Trunks' masculine arms were crushing her lungs. He realized what he was doing and let go, but only enough to let her breath. Their love was okay for now, but they knew from the several strong powers coming that they were about to have trouble.
