Chapter Five

--------------------------------------

She woke in a dead sweat, the perspiration running down her skin, still scared shitless from her nightmare. She took a deep breath and shifted her tangled mass of hair out of her face while taking a glance at the clock. It was about time for her to get up anyway.

After a quick shower, she called up Marron to see how the date had gone the night before, their eighth month anniversary.

Marron and Trunks had to be the happiest couple ever and they had been dating long enough that jokes had been started about the two of them getting married. Marron repeatedly brushed them off, talking about how she was too young to get into any serious commitments like that. She still wanted to travel the world.

"Marron speaking."

"Hey, Marron, it's Pan."

"Oh, hey Pan..."

"Date didn't go well?"

"You have no idea. It was just awful. That asshole. He needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that I have my own beliefs and I am not going to just turn around and change them because he doesn't agree.

"I mean, Kami, we disagree on everything! From religion to politics to TRAVELING! Who disagrees on traveling?"

"What do you mean? You never explain anything about your relationship to me anymore, Marron. Ya'll have been fighting even more I take it?" questioned Pan.

"More is an understatement. I mean, religion-wise, we worship the same god and follow the same principles. What's the big deal that he is on denomination and I am another? They are relatively the same. And all he does it condescend it. I don't insult his beliefs, why must he insult mine?"

"And the traveling...?" Pan prompted.

"For being such a rich, arrogant bastard, he really doesn't believe people should just jump in their capsule car and drive around. You have to have a reason. And! Listen to this: You have to be efficient. Like as in, don't go out and go shopping in South City for an hour when it is an hour trip down there. He says just stay here and shop or spend the whole day down there! Jerk."

"But what did he do last night?"

"Oh... That. Do you really want to get me started?" She asked, her temper still raging.

"Anything that makes you this upset is important to me, Marron."

"He told me that if I wasn't going to respect him, then we ought to break up. Me, not respect him? What the hell is his problem!?"

"Calm down, Marron. What did you do about it?" Anxiously she awaited Marron to tell her that they broke up, but she was slightly disappointed.

"I told him that I would, quote: think about it. It doesn't matter anyhow. That boy is so whipped, by the time I get back from my trip, he will be begging me to accept him and take him back and forgive him. You just wait. I'll probably get a nice fancy gift out of it too."

"Trip..?" Pan asked, ignoring the rude comment about Trunks, even if he deserved it.

"Yes, trip. I'm leaving for a little vacation to go shopping for a while. I'll be back in about a week."

"Well, I hope you have fun!" Pan exclaimed, wondering when this trip was planned.

"Yeah, I am sure that I will. But, enough about me, how are you and... what's his name?"

"Okay. He is kind of a dud now. I mean, he was really nice and everything, but now, whenever I call him, he is always busy doing something else, listening to music, playing video games, something, and he pays no attention to me. And when we go out, all he wants to do is feel me up. It's degrading."

"That's really too bad." Marron sympathized, and then the two continued on with their conversation about anything and everything under the sun, talking as only teenage girls can talk.
