The Strangest Thing

Ch5- A Coincidence Really

Pan easily made her way through the mess of metal contraptions and wires towards the looming ship. "Trunks? Trunks where are you?" she called circling the ship. "He must be in there then."

The aforementioned was currently shifting through a mass of wires and cord spilling out form beneath the main consul. Half way inside the heap Trunks had begun diligently but was quickly becoming frustrated. His mind kept wandering back to Pan and her…irritatingly jealous ex. When he needed to focus on his work.

"Trunks, you in here?"

"Just a second." He wasn't expecting her so early he glanced at his watch. Actually she was a little late. "I just need to do this one last thing"
