Trunks flew up kicking Goten in the stomach before receiving a punch to the face causing him to fly backwards. Staring a Goten they both jumped into super sayians flying at one another at top speed. Goten formed a ki blast as Trunks flew at him increasing his power level. Closing in Goten let go of the blast sending it screaming at Trunks hitting him directly in the chest. A massive light engulfed Trunks making it impossible to make him out. Goten flew off to the direction of the blast looking for a sign of Trunks. The landscape was nothing but dust now and Goten shook his head at Trunks's weakness.
"Geez Trunks I was only in the first stage."
"I know." Goten looked over to Trunks flying beside him and fired another ki blast. Trunks brushed it off and slowed down to land on the grassy plain followed by Goten. The two settled down on the grass taking a break from the training only to be interrupted by the sound of arguing. Trunks opened his left eye to see Bra and Pan walking over to them. Trunks smiled as he saw Pan carrying a picnic basket and sat back up. Goten rolled over to his side and motion for Bra to come sit down beside him. The arguing stopped as the girls walked off to the boys. Pan sat down on Trunks lap and making herself comfortable.
"What were you two going on about?" Trunks asked as he took the sandwich Pan had made for him. Pan smiled at him as he eat his sandwich little crumbs landing all over his dirty clothes. She wiped off his face with the corner of her sleeve and laughed a little. Someone at his age still looked like a child at times.
"Angel." Trunks looked down at her seeing her blush at his name. He put down the sandwich and took small breaths trying to calm his anger.
"What about him?"
"Did you know he knew grandpa?" Trunks nodded his head and told her to go on. "Well this morning he brought me fresh wild flowers now Bra keeps going on about how she thinks he likes me you know…"
"He brought you FLOWERS!" Pan stopped mumbling at Trunks outburst. Goten and Bra both looked over to Trunks who eyes were changing colors as well as his hair. Pan grabbed Trunks hand and started rubbing his face.
"Trunks calm down it was nothing. He cut his finger making me breakfast and I cleaned it up."
"He made you BREAKFAST! That little bastard I'm going to kill him." Pan rolled her eyes as Trunks turned super sayian. She got up and walked over to Bra and Goten who went back to eating their lunch. After realizing Pan had walked away Trunks powered down but rage was still flowing through him. Trunks walked over to them sitting down and finding his half eating sandwich.
"Done?" Pan asked mockingly. Bra and Goten laughed quietly as Trunks turned his head from them trying to control his breathing.
"I told you last night what I thought of him."
"And I told you that nothing will happen." Trunks turned to Pan smiling but the doubt was still in his eyes. He shook his head and looked down to his now mushy sandwich.
"You don't understand Pan." He whispered as Pan felt her own anger increase.
"I would if you would tell me…no you know what I'll just ask him."
"What?" Pan moved Trunks's head to the sky. Angel was slowly down landing near to group. Trunks rolled his eyes cursing under his breath. "Damn why does he always have to show up."
"Hello everyone. Pan." Angel sat down between Bra and Pan ignoring Trunks's growling and shook hands with Goten. Bra offered him a sandwich as Pan handed him a drink. Angel smiled at Pan causing her to blush as well as him. Pan tucked some hair behind her ear and smiled over to Angel who was watching her shyly.
"So…umm why don't you tell us more about you Angel. Like where you come from." Angel smile grew at Pan's curiosity. Setting comfortable he looked over to Trunks now sending him death glares and laughed slightly before turning back to Pan.
"Well my planet is much like yours but we live by what you call aristocracy. My family has been in rule for many generations after the Great War. There is peace on our planet ever since the Great War. Unlike many planets with our type of strength we don't wish to cause any war or destruction. I for one am just an average twenty year old just like you. I went to school, have many friends, and as normal as a job gets with being the prince. But unfortunately I have never had a g…" Angel's face became red as he looked down to his hands. His messy blonde hair had hung a little over his face hiding the blush.
"A what?" Bra had scooted closer to him while he was talking causing Goten to look over to Trunks with raised eyebrows. Trunks motioned his head away. He and Goten got up and walked away from the girls and Angel though neither of the girls had noticed but Angel smirked knowingly. Turning his attention to the girls Angel played with his hands.
"Well I've never had a girlfriend."
"Oh." Bra and Pan both said exchanging similar glances each wondering why someone so sweet and handsome had never had a girlfriend. Unless he was…
"Why's that." Bra asked shyly.
"Well I always figured they only wanted to be my girlfriend due to who I was. I never had any girls that wanted to just hang out with me, you know?" Both the girls instantly hugged him feeling sorry for him. Bra rubbed his back telling him that they were silly for not seeing how wonderful he was as Pan patted his arm agreeing to Bra. Trunks and Goten looked over from their new sulking spot to see their girls all over Angel.
"PAN!"
"BRA!" The girls jumped away from Angel to see Goten and Trunks rushing over to them. Goten grabbed Bra's arm yanking her up and walking off. Trunks looked from Pan to Angel before pointing to Angel to follow him. Angel smirked and stood up but Pan jumped up and crossed her arms daring Trunks to do something.
"Trunks we were talking."
"Yeah and now I'm going to talk to him." Trunks smiled sweetly to Pan and walked off with Angel behind him. Slightly turning around Trunks blew a kiss to Pan before continuing on getting far enough away from Pan. Walking into the forest Trunks stopped and leaned up against a tree rubbing the back of his neck. Looking over to Angel curiously standing looking up at the treetops whistling.
"She loves me." Angel stopped whistling turning to Trunks as he spoke before sighed loudly. Angel's face fell and his shoulders slumped.
"Yeah I saw that. Sorry I have to do this."
"Then why are you?"
"Because I need her. I have dreamt of her since Goku has told me about her. She is everything I will ever need, what our planet will need in a queen. You must understand. It's nothing personal." Trunks quickly walked over to Angel pushing him back causing him to lose his balance falling on the ground hard. Trunks stood over Angel, his power level rising yet again.
"Oh course this is personal you are trying to take the only girl I have ever loved away and I won't let you." Angel rolled his eyes standing up to dust himself off. He looked at Trunks who breath was raging and uncontrolled. He simply smiled and crossed his arms.
"You can't stop me."
"I won't…we won't let you take her. Ever."
"You see Trunks you seem to forget that I'm stronger than anyone on this planet…" He leaned closer to Trunks and smirked "…combined. Now if you'll excuse me."
"You won't…you can't take her. I'll fight you."
"What's the point in fighting a losing battle? I will destroy you and this planet to get her." Angel turned walking back to the others who were gathering the belongings. Trunks walked over to a tree trying to find something to help him stand up. He looked over to see Angel standing beside a laughing Pan helping her pick things up. Tears began building up in his eyes knowing he wasn't strong enough for her after she had been so strong for him.
"I'm so…sorry Pan." Trunks slowly slid down the tree until sitting on the ground watching Pan laugh at something Angel had said. Trunks watched as Pan's eyes started to shimmer with tears of joy. Her face glowed in an angelic way causing Trunks's chest to tighten. Closing his eyes tightly to hold off the pain that was building.
"Come on Trunks, please I promise to be your best friend forever." Trunks smiled down at twelve-year-old Pan trying to get him to buy her favorite bands new cd.
"Well you better not break your promise, Panny."
"Trunks come on, quit being a baby. I promise you won't get in trouble." Looking over to Pan wearing a black outfit hugging her body perfectly as they tried to escape out of her house to catch the late movie. Trunks sighed knowing if this is the only way to get her alone so be it.
"Don't break it. Gohan will have my head for sneaking you out."
"I won't tell as long as you do that again. I promise." Trunks grinned as he leaned forward to kiss Pan for the second time in his life. The feeling caused his knees to go weak and Pan had to hold his shoulders so he didn't fall on top of her. He pulled back and smiled like a fool.
"So we won't tell anyone that we're together for awhile.."
"I promise I'll never leave you Trunks, TRUNKS, TRUNKS!!" Jumping up from the ground Trunks grabbed the person yelling in his face. Looking down into bright shiny eyes that were laughing at him he loosened his grip and smiled.
"You never broke a promise to me." Pan tilted her head and smiled before nodding. Leaning forward he kissed her hard that Pan was surprised by the intensity of the kiss slightly losing gravity. Trunks leaned back a little and held her shoulders. "I promise you I won't let you go." Pan stepped on her tipy toes and kissed him softly.
"I still have the gown at the apartment." Trunks grinned while picking her up and headed off not looking back to see Angel following them secretly.
