Hey Everyone! Well here's another chappie!..........................And the
plot thickens! MWAHAHAHA! Wow! I never thought I would get so many reviews
again! Thanks' to everyone! I love you with all my heart! I should probably
specify ages. Pan-23; Trunks-28; Bra-24; Goten-27. As far as the kingdom
goes, just imagine England today. BTW, everyone is a saiyan, and they don't
know about Earth.

Chapter 4: The one where Trunks is back to his old self.
It was the ball commemorating the 29th wedding anniversary of King Vegeta and Queen Bulma. Videl had worked on hers and Pan's dresses along with Gohan's tux for over two weeks. They had been looking forward to this night.
Gohan, Videl, Chichi, Goku and Pan were ready to go. Goten had said he would fly to the palace.
They only had to wait a few minutes before a limo came to pick them up.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As soon as Pan and her family entered the ball room, they were welcomed by the queen and king. Pan introduced her family and the royal couple led them in.
After her family was settled in a table, she wondered around looking for her prince. "Hey! Pan!" She heard behind her. She turned around and found a lavender haired cutie walking hastily towards her.
When Trunks was close enough to see her whole, he gaped. She wore a one sleeve black dress that fell down to her ankles. It had a slit on the right leg that reached her knee. The dress showed off her curves and fully exposed one of her shoulders which attracted the saiyan-no-ouji.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Dinner went on peacefully as both Pan and Goten sat with their families and Bra and Trunks at the royal table. A while after dessert was served; Bulma and Vegeta danced the first waltz of the night giving the kick-off to the real party.
A few minutes later, almost every couple in the party were dancing.
"Vegeta, look at Bra and Trunks, they look so happy." Bulma said holding Vegeta's hand. Vegeta replied with a smile and a squeeze to Bulma's hand.
"I wonder what the royal council will say if they decide to marry Goten and Pan." Bulma said thoughtfully.
"I was thinking about that the other day-eh?" Bulma was looking at him weird. "See? You worry about them!" Bulma squealed. The mighty king blushed at his low defense.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
*How am I going to ask her? I don't want to be a sheep and do it the same way everyone does. Ugh!*
"What's wrong?" Pan asked when Trunks' face faltered a little in thought.
"Oh, nothing." He smiled sheepishly and continued dancing.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"So that's the prince." Gohan said. Videl nodded. "He's cute huh?" Gohan looked at Videl and her unusual comment.
"Well, as long as he treats her right, I see no problem." Gohan pulling Videl closer as they turned. Videl giggled at his public show of affection.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Bra, you know that I like you." Goten started nervous. "Actually I MORE than like you." He said widening his eyes.
"I MORE than like you too." Bra said mimicking Goten. He lowered his head a little and kissed Bra softly on the lips. They stood like that for a few moments, somewhat bashful, they parted and continued dancing.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"The kingdom is oblivious to us sir!" A soldier said. He seemed to be talking to a tall chair.
The chair spun slowly to reveal a tall man. He had light brown hair accompanied by a mustache the same color. He wore a body fitting red suit with black armor on his torso, legs and arms. He had a black cape with two gold button-like things attaching the cape to his armor. He stood going over to the panel that showed Vegeta-sei.
"How long till we reach land?" The tall leader asked.
"Seventy-two hours sir!" The soldier stood proud.
"Make arrangements with the rest of the soldiers."
"Sir!" The soldier replied leaving the room.
"HMMMM One more planet for our collection."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Pan and Trunks were taking a break from dancing. *When will he ask me?* Pan thought somewhat annoyed as she walked to the table where her grandparents were sitting.
"Hey! Are you guys having fun?" Pan asked.
"Yeah! We're having a blast!" Said Goku almost shouting.
Pan sat down on a spare chair and looked at the other people who were dancing. *I wonder why he hasn't asked me. I thought he liked me. What if he doesn't? What if I'm just another trophy?* Pan turned to look at Trunks talking to his parents. *Nah! He's probably just waiting for the right time.* Pan thought happy imagining a really romantic moment when he would ask her to be his.
Trunks was making his way around the tables to the one where Pan was sitting. Someone grabbed his shoulder and he turned around. "Sean! Enjoying yourself?" Trunks said politely.
"Yeah." Replied Sean. "I would like to talk to you in private prince. There's something I would like to discuss with you."
Trunks eyed him suspiciously and nodded for Sean to lead the way.
"What is it you want to discuss?" Trunks asked, once out in the court yard.
"Well, it's about Pan."
"What about her?" Trunks asked, getting a funny feeling.
"Well, first I want you to know that I want nothing but the best for the royal family and for the Kingdom of Vegeta-sei. I wanted to warn you about Pan. I have done some research on her and her family. As you must know, she comes from a humble family. Well, they're not more than gold diggers who only look for a way to get money, no matter how many people they hurt in the process. Think about it. When Pan was little, she attended the Myst academy-very expensive. Where did they get the money to send her there? Then to the top university in Vegeta-sei? Someone like her could ruin the kingdom not to mention its treasure. I understand she's a beautiful and sweet person. But that's just her weapons to make you fall into her trap. Think about it prince. Why must you fall in love for someone who only wants your money?" Skillfully he was convincing the prince to stay away from Pan.
*Now I can have her* he though smirking inwardly. "That will be all prince." Sean said as he walked back to the ball room.
Sean had left Trunks in deep thought. *It IS weird that she was able to get top-notch education being from such a humble family. ~But she was nice to me. ~Well, who wouldn't be when money is involved?* Trunks' brow furrowed as he thought everything nice Pan had done for him was only to get his money or power, or status. *Sean is trusted. He wouldn't lie to me! The kingdom's money won't be in danger because of her! I was right about poor people, they're all gold diggers.* Trunks growled deciding not to have anything to do with Pan.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Pan saw Trunks walk back in the ball room. *He looks angry.* Pan thought walking to him. "Trunks what's wrong?" Pan asked grasping his hand.
"You are to address me as 'prince.'" He said flatly. Pan stopped to look at him.
"You are not allowed within 30 meters of me if you're alone. Therefore, you're not aloud to come into my room. And you will be kept under close surveillance." He looked at her with a hate she's never seen before.
"Why the sudden change Trunks. What happened?"
"I told you not to address me by my name! Now don't play dumb. You know what's wrong. I've stopped you before you could still any of the kingdom's treasure. You are nothing but a two faced snake." He lashed at her. Bulma saw what was happening from afar and approached her son.
Pan only stared at him in disbelief. *How could he? Asshole!* Tears covered her eyes and she didn't know what to say.
"What's going on?" Bulma asked concerned.
"Nothing Queen Bulma" Pan spoke before he could say anything. Her voice wavered a little. "Sorry to be a burden Prince." She bowed and ran to her parents.
"Back room Now!" Bulma threatened before getting her husband and daughter to go to the same room.
Soon after, Pan and her parents left the palace with her.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"What was that back there?" Bulma asked Trunks angry. Vegeta looked at Bulma questioningly. "Trunks said something to Pan. She ran off crying, and calling us by our proper names!"
"Well, it's only right! She IS a commoner." Trunks yelled.
"Don't yell at your mother." Vegeta said pointing at Trunks.
"Why would you be mean to her Trunks?" Bra asked.
"Pan and her family are nothing but freeloaders. The only reason why Pan comes on to me is my money!" Trunks said trying to control his anger.
"Why are you all of a sudden thinking this?" Bulma eyed Trunks suspiciously.
"Someone told you didn't they?" Bra approached Trunks. "And this stranger only mentioned Pan's family right?"
Trunks nodded.
"Well, why didn't they say anything about Goten? He's her uncle."
Trunks snapped once again: "Goten is in the armed forces, he has taken a sacred oath to protect the kingdom, its people and its treasure!"
"I'm not going to fire her! If you don't want her that's YOUR loss!" Bulma spat.
"You're going to trust her in YOUR lab?" Trunks yelled.
"I trust her." Bulma said simply. Trunks looked at Bra and she looked away letting him know she didn't agree with him. Then he looked at Vegeta. Vegeta challenged him back with his black eyes, also not taking his side.
"Fine! But don't come crying to me when we have no kingdom left!" He stormed out of the room.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Two day's later:
~Sean's POV:~
The alarm sounded off, my plan worked! I only had to steal something from the lab, and they'll blame Pan for it, because she's the only one that has access to it! Well, not anymore! HAHAHAHAHAHA. And since I'm head of the armed forces, I get to arrest her. Then I miraculously get her out of the dungeon and she'll have no choice but to accept what I have to offer! I'm such a genius.
I'm in the lab now. She looks startled! How beautiful! In spite of her protests of innocence I arrest her. "No! No! I didn't steal anything!" She keeps on screaming. I smack her to shut her up. The prince's here. Man! The look he's giving her. There's no way in hell they'll get back together.
Once she's in the dungeon we'll use the extractor to take the vast amount of energy away from her and she won't be able to escape.
I AM a genius! They'll never find me out! They trust me too much. I laugh internally now.
~End Sean's POV~
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Next Day in the morning:
Queen Bulma and king Vegeta stepped in the cell where they kept Pan. There was only a small window not allowing much sunlight in. The cell itself was as dirty as it could get, even the floor was dirt! Why Bulma came down. Even she didn't know. She didn't know if she trusted Pan anymore. She wanted to but Trunk's words got to her, and the king.
Pan was cuffed low on the wall. Her arms were spread to her sides. And she was sitting weakly with only her arms to hold her up.
Bulma crouched down to level with Pan. Vegeta just stood behind Bulma. Pan only looked at her. Bulma noticed the messy hair and dirty face, wait, not only dirt, there were also bruises. *They beat her. They must have used the extractor on her, she's so weak she can't even move.* "Pan, I'm sorry." Bulma looked sadly at her. "We can't change the laws, you're going to have to wait for the trial." Bulma sighed. "I'll be honest with you. I don't know if we believe that you didn't steal anything." Pan's eyes filled with tears. She looked up at Vegeta and he only turned away. She looked back at Bulma tears running down her dirty face. "I'm sorry Pan, I don't know what else to say." Bulma stood and left the dungeon with Vegeta. Pan looked down defeated. Treason equaled death.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Later that day:
*What are those power levels? They're huge!!!* Vegeta thought surprised. The rest of the council also felt the powers. They looked to Vegeta for orders. "You! Get the army. Have them assemble at the courtyard." *I better get my son, they seem tough. But nothing we can't handle.* He thought with a smirk.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"AAHHH! Nice clean air you breathe here!" He said. "Master Garland will be pleased." Dalton stepped onto the soil of Vegeta-sei. "MMM small power levels. This will be easy."
"Sir, we are ready to attack the palace."
"Ok, let's go." Dalton said calmly.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ^*^*
Well, how did you like it? This chapter isn't my best work, I'll admit. I just wrote a story full of angst, and my thoughts weren't really on this story. Anyway. As I was saying I just wrote a story on Uub/Pan. I think we write too little about them. At times I think they're better together than T/P. (Don't worry, this story will still be T/P). The name is 'By Myself, But Not Alone.' It's one shot and it's about Pan getting addicted to drugs, and all the angst she goes through. And who's there to help? Our hero Uub! I welcome y'all to read it, I think it's pretty good.
I'm advertising my story here ^_^, because there is no Uub category, and I can't really think of how people could find it if they don't look in my profile, and I want people to read it. For a while, I've wanted to write a really angsty and depressing fanfic for some reason. I finally did and I beg you to read it. T.T
Anyway, I think I'll post another chapter to this story some time this week. Till then, don't forget to review!
