"I don't know B. I do not want to put myself up for rejection. What if he only wants me to attend the ball with him so he can break up with me and humiliate me in front of all my classmates?" Pan kept putting her down. She was positive that Trunks would break up with her. She did not know when or where she just knew something was going to happen that would forever change her life.
Bra stared at her friend. She shook her head at the quarter saiyan. "Pan Trunks loves you. He isn't going to break up with you."
"That's easy for you to say, you have Uub."
"Yeah I do and I know that Uub would never break it off with me just like Trunks isn't going to break it off wit you."
"He'd rather have Marron."
"Marron is married to your uncle."
"Well he wants someone who is a beautiful as Marron." Bra stared in disbelief as Pan continued putting herself down. Didn't Pan know she was way prettier then Marron?
"Pan you have a natural beauty that not every girl has. Girls like Marron and me we need to use make up and product in our hair just to become as beautiful as you are." Bra said to make Pan feel better. Bra knew it was the truth. She wished she could where the things Pan did and be able to pull it off.
"You're just saying that. I am always going to be ugly no matter how much you say I am not. So stop trying to make me feel better Bra." Pan started to yell at her friend. Bra stepped back in shock.
"I'm not trying to make you feel better Pan, I'm not lying I'm telling you the truth." Bra hated it when Pan got this way. Having the stubbornness of both her grandmother and mother. She never gave in to what Bra was telling her.
"Pan Son." She grasped the girl's shoulders. "Trunks loves you. He has asked me to get you to go to the senior ball with him. Now am I going to have to force you to go?"
Pan closed her eyes slightly before opening them again. "I'll go Bra; I'll go to the Ball so I can be humiliated by Trunks once he breaks up with me."
"Look Pan I'll come over tomorrow when can go buy you a dress, nothing to fancy or over the top. Something that will accentuate your own natural and subtle beauty." Bra suggested they go shopping. However knowing Pan's views on shopping she suggested only going for a subtle dress and accessories.
"Alright. I'll go to this thing; I'll get all prettied for Trunks only for him to dump me in front of my classmates." Pan said as she said goodbye to Bra.
After Bra had left. Pan had lain down on her bed and closed her eyes. Did she want to go to the Ball with Trunks? She did not want him to break up with her. Trunks was her lifeline her reason for living. "Trunks what are you planning for me on the night of the twenty first?"
Pan hated guessing games. She rather beat the crap out of the person forcing her into one. She could beat the crap out of Trunks, but what if the surprise he had; set up for her was he was going to break up with her. She could not have that.
No, she would wait. Wait and play little game Trunks had come up with. "I'm going to play your game for now Trunks Briefs; however I will win in the end." Pan smiled to herself as her telephone rang.
"She answered it. " Hello."
"How is my favorite girl this evening?" Trunks asked the love of his life through the phone.
"I don't know why don't you ask her?" Pan said with a mixture of sadness and anger. She had always known that she was never going to be Trunks favorite girl. Why should she get her hopes up?
"Pan, what's up? This isn't like you." Trunks knew Pan was a little insecure about the way she was looking and even facing a big crowd when they announced they were dating.
"Just admit it Trunks." Pan said forcefully.
Trunks were taking aback. "Admit what?"
"Admit you are going to break up with me in front of the entire school and humiliate me in front of all my classmates."
Trunks was now taking aback. Did Pan just accuse him of doing something so cruel? "Pan you alright? You're not in your period are you?"
That pissed off Pan even more whenever a woman was pissed a man would blame it on PMS or something. "No you jerk I'm not in my period. But since you think that way you overstuffed pompous pig, I will save you the trouble and break up with you instead." Pan shouted slamming down the phone.
She stared at the phone and soon regretted doing that.
Trunks sat and stared at the receiver in his hands. Did Pan just break up with him. Why would she think that he would break up with her? He was going to ask her to marry him after all.
"Pan if you only knew what I have been planning, I need you to attend the ball with me. I need this night to be perfect. "He went to find his sister.
"Bra? What did you say to Pan?" Trunk asked his sister. Bra looked up from the magazine she was wearing.
"Nothing, but I did get her to attend the ball with you." Bra said not knowing that Pan had told Trunks they were through.
"You did? Did you? Well I just got a call from Pan saying she wasn't going with me, and then she broke up with me."
"She what?" Bra was knocked for six. She could not believe Pan would just break up with Trunks it was not like her to break up with him. "I'm sorry Trunks; I'll try to talk to her. However, I am not too sure if she is going to listen. Her insecurities have been eating at her.
Trunks sighed. "Tell me Bra. Why the entire sudden Pan is having all of these insecurities about how she looks? She never was like this before."
"I think it's the fact you and her are going out together for the first time in public, she feels you want to show someone who is a knockout beauty queen, and she keeps telling me you'd rather have some blonde like Marron.
"That's preposterous; I don't want anyone but her." Trunks said as he sat down on his sister's bed. He ran a hand through his silky lavender locks and sighed.
"Bra how am I going to convince her I love her?" Trunks looked like he was at a lost; Bra had no idea what to do either. Pan was one of the most stubbornness women on the planet. She definitely took after her grandmother Chi-Chi.
"I'll try to talk to her; however I have no idea if she's going to listen. Trunks I'll get her to come around, don't you worry about anything."
Trunks sighed. "I'm counting on you to get her to that Ball; I plan on proposing to her that night. I don't want anything to mess it up."
"Don't worry Bro, I'll get Pan to attend the ball even it I have to hogtie her up and drag her to it."
"Thanks Bra."
Bra took a deep breath as she watched her brother leave. Now all she had to do was convince a very stubborn and bitchy woman to attend an event she did not want to attend in the first place.

Two Days Later. The Son House.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Son." An eighteen-year-old boy with Black hair and dark blue eyes said. "My name is Jonathan Miles and I'm going to be taking your daughter to the senior Ball if that is alright with you sir."
Gohan looked at the young man in front of him. The boy seemed nice enough to take his daughter out to the prom. At least he was going with a boy from her school; all this talk about going with Trunks when she was younger almost gave Gohan a heart attack.
Gohan was too happy to learn that Part of Pan's life was over. "Well Jonathan it is nice to meet you. It is nice to see my daughter actually dating someone."
"Well I promise I will treat your daughter with the utmost respect Mr. Son." Jonathan charmed.
"Hey Videl, I think we got a keeper." Gohan shouted to his wife and Pan's mother Videl Satan Son.
As Videl was about to come out to meet Jonathan the door swung open to reveal Goten and Trunks. "Gohan, I need to ask you something." Goten shouted for his brother.
"Goten that was rude of you to do that, can't you see we are entertaining a guest." Gohan tired to shush his younger brother up.
"Really who?" Goten became curious as to who was so important. He followed Gohan into the room, Trunks followed. Trunks stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his Pan kissing this stranger.
He tried to control his chi; however, it proved to be a difficult task. Nonetheless, he did manage it thought. Pan looked at Trunks who had a shock expression on his face.
"Pan?" Was all he could say? He did not know what else to do. Jonathan noticed the tension between everyone and decided he would introduce himself.
He got up and introduced himself to Goten who took a liking to the boy, and then he turned to Trunks. "I'm Jonathan Miles, it' nice to meet ya." Jonathan gave his hand for Trunks to shake, but all Trunks did was stared death into his eyes.
Jonathan backed away. He went to Goten. "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know, maybe he's constipated or something? On the other hand, maybe he is an ex boyfriend who is ready to tear you limb from limb. I mean it could be anything." Goten whispered to the frightened teenager.
"Ah but don't worry, when Trunks kills he kills fast, so you won't even feel it."
"Kill?" Now Jonathan looked like someone who was about to urinate in his pants.
"Yeah I'm not to sure; it's hard to read Trunks. But we all love him, isn't that right Pan?"
Pan looked up. "Huh? Oh of course, we all love him. He's the greatest after all." Pan hoped she could disintegrate into the ground.
Goten went over to Trunks who was still standing in the same spot. He grasped onto his shoulders from behind and said. "Trunks here are like family, he's practically my brother, and that makes him Pan's second Uncle."
Trunks continued to stare at Pan; he wanted nothing more then to destroy this new 'boyfriend of hers. He needed some more help with what he was planning. "Goten can I speak to you outside for a moment? Trunks asked.
Goten stepped back. "Yeah sure Trunks."
Trunks walked outside with Goten right behind him. Trunks stood for a moment before handing Goten the velvet box with the diamond engagement ring inside.
"Oh Trunks, I had no idea you returned my feelings, and even though I'm married to Marron, I'm pretty sure I can convince her to let you into our marriage. Oh Trunks you made me the happiest man on this planet." Goten mockingly cried with happiness.
Trunks stood there Anime style. "Uh no Goten, I'm not proposing to you. I was planning on proposing to Pan on the night of her senior Ball, I'm still going to propose, but now she's made all the more difficult."
"What do you mean?" Goten became more serious.
"She broke up with me."
"Why?"
"Don't know, she thought I was going to break up with her. She has no idea what I have planned."
"And you want me to do what?"
"Even if she doesn't attend the ball with me I'm still going to ask her to marry me. That much I plan on doing. I want to do it there. I want that night to be memorable for her. I know how much she hates gatherings where she has to dress up. I need you to keep Pan at the ball long enough for me to pull off the plan, can you do that?"
"Anything for my best friend." Goten said smiling. He was glad Trunks had finally come to his senses to marry Pan.
"So on the night of May 21st Pan will become my fiancé." Trunks smiled. "If I can convince her I love her for her and not for her looks."
A/n: Will Trunks and Goten's plan work out. Will Trunks be able to ask Pan to marry him? Or will something happen that will cause Trunks and Pan to be apart forever. Please Leave a Review. (I have brownies and Double Stuffed Oreo's) I am not affiliated with Nabisco or Dragon Ball Z GT
