Pan looked at the women before giving her the best death glare she had. The women stepped towards Pan again bringing the cloth held in her hands up covering her face walking over to Pan. Sighing Pan stepped aside letting the women continue her walk closer but only to run into the wall that was behind Pan. Covering her mouth to hide her laughter Pan looked over to Deidra setting on the bed doing the same.
"Excuse me miss but you must put this on." Pan looked down at the women lying on the floor glaring up at Pan. Offering her hand Pan helped the women up and grabbed the garment from her hands.
"I don't see why I must put on a dress. As you can plainly see I already have clothes on." Pan slung the dress on the bed then taking a seat between the huge blue dress and Deidra. Deidra waved her arm to the servant letting her be excused before turning to Pan.
"Yes well you see Pan the women of the court must be lady like and well…jeans don't work. They are going to introduce you to the people today and a black t-shirt with old blue jeans aren't the best impression."
"I don't give a damn. I want to go home. I miss my Trunks and my family and my HOME!" Deidra smiled sadly at Pan patting her leg. After two weeks of being here Pan had not spoken to anyone except Deidra. Considering everything that had happen to the poor girl Deidra had tried helplessly to convince Angel he had made a mistake only to be brushed aside. The only thing Pan was allowed to due is sit in her room unless taken out by Angel or Deidra. But in such a short time Pan had come to trust Deidra and value what little friendship they were allowed to have.
"I know you do but there's nothing we can do."
"But there is I know you know instant transmission so let me go."
"I told you before that I don't know how to. Only royalty knows and some elitist that's all. Even if I did I could never go against Angel I…" Deidra closed her mouth quickly and looked away from Pan over to the dress crumbled on the bed.
"You what?" Pan stared at her already knowing what she was probably going to say. Deidra ran her hand along the dress and closed her eyes before smiling. She glanced back up to Pan shaking her head.
"Nothing. It wouldn't matter anyways." She laughed sadly and got up. "I have to meet Angel. By the time I get back you should be ready." Before Pan could say anymore Deidra turned and walked out the door. Closing the door slowly behind her Deidra let out a raged breath and headed to Angel's quarters. Walking through several corridors Deidra ran a shaky hand through her long brown hair before knocking on Angel's door.
"Come in." Opening the door Deidra stepped in closing the door softly behind her looking over at Angel. Sitting on the floor both his legs held close to his chest with his head resting on his knees looking over at the door. He smiled slightly causing Deidra's stomach to flip. Angel patted the floor beside him and Deidra walked over taking a seat on the cold stone floor beside him. Seating crossed leg Deidra placed both her elbows on each leg and held her head in her hands looking forward.
"What's wrong?" Deidra felt Angel's breath on her neck making a shiver run down her spine. Ignoring the growing pain in her chest she sat back against the bed still not looking at Angel.
"Nothing. What did you want to see me for?" Angel shifted his legs so that his leg was touching Deidra's. He scooted closer to her resting his head on her shoulder.
"I don't know." Deidra watched as his hand took hold of hers and started running his fingers down her hand playing with her fingers. Sighing she slowly pulled her hand back and stood up from her spot.
"Well if you don't have any work for me to do then I should get going. Your father has to present you and Pan to the people in an hour so I…"
"Can't you stay for a while?" Deidra looked down at Angel surprised by the crack in his voice as he spoke. He was looking down at her shoes his hands clenched into fists. "You've been avoiding me. I thought you were my best friend."
"Yeah well now you got Pan." Deidra spoke rather loudly regretting the words she let slip. Angel stood up facing her trying to make her look at him.
"What? What does that mean?"
"Look you have someone to spend the rest of your life with. I been thinking that maybe I should be reassigned to a different position or something…" Angel stepped forward his chest tighten as Deidra continued looking at the floor.
"Why?"
"Well it's just that you won't being needing me around that much anymore and well it's time I start looking for someone I could spend my life with." Deidra looked up at Angel standing right in front of her so close she could feel his uneven breath on her lips. Her eyes found his and for a second she saw something that caused her heart to stop. Angel stood there unable to read what is heart and mind were both screaming. Her deep brown eyes were shining up at him as his hand came up to her face.
"I'll always need you." Angel moved his head slightly forward his lips almost touching Deidra's. His green eyes locked on her as he smiled.
"Angel! Open up!" Deidra jumped back as Angel sighed walking over to his door ripping it open.
"What!" Angel's mother looked at him surprised as Angel softly said sorry.
"Well that girl of yours is gone again. Seems she has escaped for the third time. You better find her before the ceremony." Angel nodded looking back to Deidra already ready to go find Pan.
"Let's go." Deidra walked out of the room Angel following closely confused by what had happened in just a few minutes.
*~*~*~*
"OK. So who is staying here?" Gohan looked around the room after telling everyone what had happened to Pan. No one said anything but looked at Gohan as if he had the answer. Scratching his forehead Gohan sat down in his chair and glanced at Trunks who looked like the rest of them.
"OK…well we know Trunks and I are going. Who wants to stay and watch the girls incase something should go wrong?" Still nothing. "Umm…Vegeta do you want to stay with Bulma?" Nothing. "Krillin, Piccolo, Yamcha…Goten?" Same thing. "Ok here's what's going to happen. Krillin, Yamcha, Goten you are staying here. Vegeta unless you answer my damn question you are going with us. Piccolo your going." Piccolo shrugged his shoulders looking down. Gohan looked over to Vegeta who was looking at his hands.
"I'll be back." Vegeta got up and rushed upstairs were Bulma was resting peacefully. The room men gave each other knowing looking. During the weeks that Pan had gone Bulma had went into surgery for her tumor. The surgery went well without any type of problems. When she woke up she demanded to go home were she felt safe and comfortable. Going against doctor's orders Vegeta took her home but had an on call nurse come to the house from time to time. Bra, Trunks and Vegeta had spent day and night with her barely leaving her side. Trunks was only gone when working with Gohan to get Pan back. With Vegeta gone Bra would be alone to take care of Bulma.
"Hey why do I have to stay?" Goten looked over to Gohan. "I mean I'm like her brother. Beside when was the last time we got to really fight? Why I'm I stuck here?"
"Bra." Was all Gohan said and Goten just nodded in agreement. Silence filled the room as everyone was consumed by their own thoughts. Piccolo looked over to Gohan from his spot on the wall.
"How are we going to do this anyways?" Gohan perked up and smiled from his seat.
"The only way we ever did it." Piccolo smirked and Goten slapped his brother's knee. "King Ki has already located the planet, so now we're going up to King Ki's tonight and then use instant transmission to go get Pan. Once we get there we are just going to try to get Pan without…"
"Wait. We don't know instant transmission." Goten broke into Gohan explanation. Trunks glanced over to Gohan smiling then turned back Goten.
"I do."
"How?"
"Think about all we had to do was contact the place were Goku learn it. Then tell them the situation and they tell us how to do. Took about an hour to learn it. It's pretty easy. We'll teach you when we get back with Pan." Trunks smiled about seeing Pan again. In just two weeks Trunks had been through every emotion only to end up with determination left. Tonight he would finally get Pan back in his arms were she belonged. Vegeta jumped off the last step into the living grabbing the attention of everyone in the room. Trunks looked over to his father who was staring at them with his arms crossed.
"Are you going?" Trunks asked now standing up ready to go. The rest of the group stood up Gohan, Piccolo, and Trunks stepped forward. Krillin looked over to Yamcha who shrugged then glanced over to Goten who was yawning. Vegeta sighed glancing back up the stairs then looked at Trunks's pleading eyes. Vegeta opened his mouth still looking at his son.
"Well…"
