6:35 p.m. Tuesday

            "HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN?"  Gohan stared at the two men standing in front of him letting his anger be shown.  Vegeta crossed his arms looked across the living room to Goten standing beside his son looking at the ground.  Goten looked over to Trunks setting on the floor with his back against the couch and his head in his hands.  After Angel had left Trunks talked Pan into telling everyone what was going on and that he would be taking her in the morning.  Goten looked back to his brother and sighed.

            "When he first landed he told us about his intentions.  We didn't know how powerful he was…Trunks seemed to have noticed but never mentioned anything.  But I take it you felt Angel's power level tonight…we can't beat that." 

            "So what, we're supposed to set back and let him take her…my ONLY child?  Why the hell didn't anyone tell me?"  Gohan raged on as Goten looked back to Trunks who had not said a word since arriving over an hour ago.  It was like he was dormant after Pan had walked off crying with her mother Trunks became placid.  He stared at the doorway the two had left before his head fell into his hands.  Goten watched as Trunks head came up his eyes were red but Goten knew that he hadn't even cried or at least he hadn't heard him.  His blue eyes were dark with a red trim but the sorrow was evident.  It was like part of him was being ripped away.  Trunks looked straight head staring out the window into the peaceful afternoon.

            "…Who is this guy anyways?  Angel?  Isn't that a girl's name?  My daughter doesn't need a guy that has a girls name…"

            "Shut up Gohan."  Trunks voice was low and scratchy.  Gohan and Vegeta looked over to Trunks who continued to look through the window.  He slowly stood up turning to face Gohan running a hand through his hair.  "Just…shut up."  He turned and headed to where Pan and Videl had walked off early.  Goten turned to Gohan and Vegeta and scratched his head.

            "We can't let him take her…look what kind of state Trunks is in now…and she hasn't gone anywhere.  Think of what he going to be like when…" Goten couldn't finish as he looked back to the hallway.  To Goten Pan was a sister to him.  They had been raised together like brother and sister.  She had always been there for him and even helped him realize that special person in is life.  Where as Trunks was his best friend.  They were like brothers, how could some guy just take away two people that meant so much to him.  Once Pan was gone Trunks would follow…one way or another.  Turning back to Vegeta and Gohan now sitting on the couch talking about possible plans.  Setting down beside to two on the couch Goten clapped his hands together and looked at the two.

            "Well what do we got?"

6:47 p.m. Tuesday

            Trunks slowly opened to the door seeing Pan holding her mother setting on the bed.  Taking a deep breath and trying to clam his emotions he knocked on the door to let his present be known.  Pan looked up her eyes dried of any tears and she smiled slightly at him and motioned for him to come in.  Videl pulled back from her daughter and excused herself from the room.  Trunks closed the door behind Videl turning back to Pan now staring at her carpet while her right hand played with her cover on the bed.  Pain shot through Trunks's entire body as he covered his face with his hands breathing hard.  Closing his eyes tightly he was again clamed his nerves before speaking.

            "Pan…" She looked up hearing his voice break and tried to smile again but failing.  Trunks walked over to set on the bed forcing his legs to move.  Setting down beside her he took her hand playing with the blanket and held it tightly in his own.  Pan glanced down at their hands and sighed pulling her hand back.  Trunks's breath quickened as he reached for her hand resting on her lap only for Pan to pull her hand out of reach.

            "Pan?"  Her face was emotionless as she faced him.  Trunks looked away seeing she had masked her eyes from letting him she her pain.  Looking down at his hands he turned to face her.  "We will find a way to stop him.  I'll fight him to the end.  He not going to get away with this we can defeat him…"

            "No." 

            "What?"  Pan turned from him regaining her strength that she had built up before he came in the room.  Trunks stared at the side of her face ignoring the tightness in his chest.  Pan stood up from the bed walking over to her old dresser placing her hands on top to steady her balance before speaking. 

            "You are not going to fight."

            "Why?  I can't just let him take you I'm…"

            "He can destroy our planet, our families, our home.  I will gladly give up my life to know that all of you can go on with yours."

            "But I won't!"  Pan looked down to Trunks.  His hands were digging into his hair and he was shaking his legs.  "You leaving…I don't know if I can…go on.  It's all ready killing me inside.  I feel this enormous pain that keeps growing knowing that you will be gone.  I don't know if I can handle it.  I need you." 

7:53 p.m. Tuesday

            "I just wanted to say good-bye and that I love you."  Pan smiled down at Bulma still sleeping peacefully.  Leaning forward she lightly kissed her forehead and smiled.  "You were like a second mother to me and I'll miss you…" Choking on her words Pan covered her face with her hands demanding her body not to cry.  Trunks watched from his spot leaning against the wall.  His arms were crossed and in the dimly lit room no one could see the tears gathering in his eyes.  The door to the room opened slowly as a short little nurse walked in smiling like everything was fine.

            "Excuse me but hospital visiting hours are over at eight."  Pan looked over to the women and nodded kindly before reaching over one last time to kiss Bulma good-bye.  Standing up she walked over to the door stopping to look over to Trunks still leaning against the wall.

            "Come on Trunks."  Pan said hoarsely and continued walking out the door following the nurse.  Pushing himself off the wall he walked over to his mother kissing her check softly so as not to disturb her.

            "Good-bye mom…I love you."

9:27 p.m. Tuesday

            Pan looked around her father's living room at her family trying to hold all emotions within.  Gohan and Videl were sitting on the couch with Pan between them holding her like a child.  Goten was sitting on the floor beside the couch tickling Pan's feet trying to see her smile…one last time.  Chi-chi was smiling sadly watching from the chair opposite of the couch telling Goten to leave Pan alone.  Vegeta was sitting at Gohan's desk going over what little plan they had working on what should happen before morning and trying to explain it to Bra.  The only person missing from her family was Trunks.  After they had came back from the hospital he went off to Pan's old room and told her he would be down in a minute…almost hour ago. 

            "I'm going to bed, I'll need my energy in the morning.  I suggest you all do the same."  Vegeta got up from the table walking down to the guest room slamming the door.  Bra shook her head and looked over to Goten.  Getting up Bra walked over to the couch leaning over to give Pan a hug.

            "Don't worry Pan everything will be fine.  You've got the strongest warriors in the world on your side."  Bra reached down and grabbed Goten's arm yanking him up.  Goten gave Pan a hug and a quick kiss reassuring her everything would be fine then following Bra down the hall.  Pan smiled at the two wishing she could believe their words.

            "Vegeta's right.  Go on to bed Pan nothing is going to happen."  Pan looked up at her father engulfing him in a hug then doing the same to Videl.  Tears rolled down all their faces as Pan stood up and looked down at them.

            "I love you…and I wish I could believe you…" Pan took off up the stairs towards her room as more tears fell down her face.  Gohan turned to Videl reaching over to cling on to something for support.

9:31p.m. Tuesday

            It was a perfect day, a summer ago with Pan's arms around Trunks neck and him holding her up like they had just gotten married…it was perfect.  Trunks watched as the picture he was holding became blurry before he launched it against the wall hearing the glass break and the wall crack.  Running his hand through his hair he heard the door open and Pan came in crying.  He looked up seeing her face covered with wetness her eyes showing a pain someone like her should never have to face.  Without questioning he simply stood up and took her in his arms gliding her back to the bed.  Pushing himself up against the headboard he placed her on his lap rubbing her back.

            "I don't want…to…go…" Trunks heard her small voice and pulled her closer to him.  Pan lifted her head as Trunks refused to look down to see the pain in her eyes again.  Moving up Pan forced Trunks to look her in the eye.  His bottom lip began to tremble, as his eyes couldn't focus on her face.

            "I'm sorry I let you down Panny.  You were the only person I really loved."  Pan grabbed his face in her hands and kissed him trying to let him forget the pain they both felt.  His worry melted away as he felt her running her hands through his hair whispering her love for him.

            "I love you Trunks…no matter how far apart we are nothing will change that."  Holding her tightly he rolled her back against the bed looking down at her as tears fell on her face.

            "I love you and I won't let…him take you."  Pan reached up bringing his lips crashing down on hers.  Each one trying to avoid the inevitable that was to come in a few short hours. 

3:18 a.m. Wednesday

            "TURNKS!"  Jumping up from his sleep Trunks turned to his right reaching over to the empty spot on the bed. 

            "TRUNKS!  PLEASE!"  Pan's voice screamed in the middle of the night as Trunks through the covers off him quickly getting out of bed grabbing his jeans laying on the floor and putting them on.  Running to the window Trunks saw Pan arms stretched out towards her fathers house screaming as Angel was carrying her away.  Flying out the window Trunks hit super sayian grabbing Pan's hand yanking her out of Angel's grasp.  Pan held on to Trunks as he pushed her behind him.  Angel turned around sighing deeply.

            "I thought it would be better if I took her without anyone knowing."  Angel smiled but Trunks stepped forward punching Angel sending him flying into a tree. 

            "YOU'RE NOT TAKING HER DAMNIT!"  Trunks's energy increased as he quickly walked over to Angel who was trying to stand up rubbing his jaw.  Angel smirked as Trunks drew his fist back ready to strike when Angel disappeared.  Sensing his ki Trunks turned to see Angel behind Pan ready to grab her.

            "Pan move!"  Angel grabbed Pan's waist bringing her closer to him covering her mouth with his hand.  Trunks ran over to the two but Angel brought up his free hand gathering a blast. 

            "Stop or I'll kill you."  Angel spat his jaw was already swallow.  Pan eyes pleaded with Trunks to stop as her tears ran down her face and on Angel's hand.

            "I'll follow you, will trace you ship…"

            "You don't think your Goku is the only one who knows instant transmission?"  Trunks looked to Pan as her eyes silently told him she loved him.  Looking down to the ground Trunks clenched his fist at his side.

            "Please…please don't do this…" His voice started to crack but when he looked back up everything that made his life worth living for was gone.  Covering his face Trunks whole body began to shake and no tears could fall.  His legs gave out as he fell to the ground ignoring the pain throbbing in his head.  Holding his hand in his hands he heard the grass move and quickly looked up to see Gohan, Goten, and Vegeta standing in front of him.  Gohan stepped forward kneeling in front of Trunks placing a hand on his shoulder. 

            "What happened?  Where's Pan?  I heard her yell." Trunks looked past Gohan to where Pan just was as his body swayed a little.  Gohan moved Trunks head to look at him but when he did Gohan saw nothing in Trunks eyes…nothing.  Trunks laughed a little running his hand through his hair.  He looked down at the ground before answering Gohan.

            "He didn't even let me say good-bye."  Was all Trunks said before he took off.

OH MY GOD, I'm so sorry you guys.  But I just got a new job that's killing me but I got a killer new place thanks to the job, and I had to move and work.  So I'm sorry again but hopefully now that I'm at least in the new house I'll be able to write some more.  If you want you can leave your e-mail address and I'll let you know when I update.  Don't worry the next chapter takes place on Angel's planet…with some interesting new people.  Deidra (wink, wink).  Laterz!
