(Pan's p.o.v.)
I leave my eyes close as I feel the plane descending and I hear the beeps for everyone to put on their seatbelts. Here goes...

Chapter 8: A Family of Suck Ups
*~*
I pick up my things from the trunk of the cab and start rolling my stuff up to the front door. As I walk on the pavement, I notice the healthy green grass that's our new lawn and empty flower boxes on most of the windows. That's one good thing about my house so far... I wait till my dad opens the front wooden door and I slowly try to go through, without touching it. I hate getting splinters. I drop my bags after kicking my shoes to the side in front of the white closet doors. I leave my stuff to the side and begin my own tour of the house.
I just nod a bit as I walk to the right, going through what looks a dining room, then through a kitchen, going passed a couple doors, and going through another room and ending up back right where I started. Everything's so... white...
*~(^-^)~*
I look down at everyone as they talk about whatever. I lean against the 'tree' and look up at the sky as my mind wanders to the summer vacation which is only a couple days away. I keep my hands in my baggy jeans and I look around at all the people eating their lunches in the outdoor cafeteria or just around on the grass.
"So yeah, this one girl totally complimented my on my shirt and I was like 'yeah I know' and she was like 'it is nice' and I'm like 'Duh! It's Gucci!'" I wince as I hear Marron's fake laugh.
I turn my attention to Goten tossing a football to some random kid I've never seen before. I sigh when I hear a familiar voice, "Oh Trunksie!! You'll take us to the mall right?! Oh, Dende! I love your sunglasses… They look really sexy." I turn my head a bit as I feel Marron's chest against my arms and her hands touching my own torso.
I smirk when I lower my glasses a bit and I see her swoon from my natural move that I do with everyone. "Of course, Mar," I lean my head closer to her ear and whisper, "for 200 yen." I lean my head back and laugh.
I look away and just sigh right when I see her pout. She just ruined all the fun! "Aww, c'mon, Trunksie!! You know you wanna go..." I look down at my watch and then glance at her.
"I've got class in a few. But I've got plans also. Sorry." I do another one of my classic smirks and just walk off, touching Goten's shoulder when I pass by him and he just walks with me, since of course we have the same class next.
*~(^-^)~*
I look at all of boxes that almost cover the whole floor of my room. I just shake my head while I lean against the railing of my balcony. It's not like Romeo and Juliet but it'll do. I smile a bit and turn around. I'm glad we don't live in the city. Everything would be so small and compact. One reason why I hate Tokyo. I glance at the Cherry Blossom trees and smile a bit when I notice that when the wind blows, leaves fall from the trees. I turn around and walk inside my room. Lets get down to business.
*~(^-^)~*
I'm running. And for a guy who has always been fit, I feel like I'm drowning. I slowly stop and just speed walk. Lets go, lets go. Where is my house?! I start running again, this time just staring at the numbers. I begin to stare up at the sky again and as always, I imagine Pan in front of me, waiting for me as I just keep running. She's my goal and hopefully, I still have her. I look back at the numbers again. I know I'm not lost! Oh wait!! There it is! I quickly stop, my feet sliding a bit on the pavement and I quickly run, opening and slamming the door once I'm inside.
I drop my book bag on the floor and quickly run to the telephone. I pick it up and just stare at it. Oh, Dende! Don't tell me I forgot! C'mon Uub, think man! I think about it some more and I smirk when I figured it out. I quickly dial the number.
"I'm sorry but the number you dialed has been disconnected. Please check your number and dial again, thank you." I just stand there as I slowly hang up the phone. Disconnected? I feel my heart sink when I realized what that meant. She moved.
*~(^-^)~*
Cuddling with my stuffed dog, Patrick, I look again around at my empty room. I sigh from feeling so short sitting on the floor instead of a bed.
"Pan!! Come down here please!" I quickly get up and walk inbetween boxes as I make my way downstairs to my father.
"Yeah, Dad? Do you need help with the unpacking?" I finally enter the kitchen and lean against the door frame.
"No, that's okay but your new school, Orange Star High called and they said that since they're already finished with this year, your orientation will be a week before the new year. They've seen your grades already and your old teachers did your last quarter grades." He smiles a bit when he leans against our new counter, "You'll be able to have some time off before starting your college class for the summer. Did you decide what class you want to take?"
I shrug, looking uninterested and I smile a bit when I notice my dad looking concerned, "You know I wanna take your class first, Daddy!" I laugh a bit and cross my arms. "When does it start anyways?" I pull myself off the wall and sit down on the counter next to my Dad.
I watch as my Dad puts away the kitchen utensils and I glance out the window and see my Mom making our backyard look homier (A/N: trust me, it's a word!). "To be honest, Panny, I don't know. They gave me a packet but I didn't get a chance to look through it. Why don't you go get for me?" He looks up at me as he kneels down to put the pots and pans away.
"Sure thing, Dad," I say before I jump down and walk into our new living room area and look around on the tables for the packet. I sit on the floor once I picked it up. I open the packet and look through the papers. I think for a bit before actually reading anything and I realize something. Being busy will all this stuff kind of makes me not think about Uub. I sigh and shake my head. I wonder how he's doing right now… I finally find the sheet about summer programs and I look for the dates. Hmm... it starts next Monday...
*~(^-^)~*
Once again I'm sitting here in my parents' office. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they thought of this BEFORE I was born... I just shake my head and glance down, forgetting all about what they're saying but that ended after they say, "…next Monday."
I quickly sit up and look at them, "Next Monday? What's next Monday?"
"I swear, Trunks, You never listen. Do I have to say everything twice?" I shrug a bit as my Mother rolls her eyes and glances back down at some sheet of paper. Almost like she wrote a speech. "Summer college courses start Monday. And I'll repeat this too, your father will bring you there to make sure you get to class," My Mother, the woman who gave me life looks at me with a smirk that I knew she got from my Father but at this moment, they didn't look identical.
"WHAT?! I never agreed to take this brat to class! I don't even drive, woman!" I smirk when I watch as he gets up and clench his fists as to stop himself from doing anyone any harm, since all he knows is violence.
"Vegeta! Remember last night? Remember what we were talking about in bed..?" I cringe as I listen to my mother talk in such a seductive way that I felt like vomiting right on her oriental rug! This is just disgusting! My father relaxes a bit and just shrugs before sitting back down.
"Fine, I'll take the boy, but we'll be taking the limo 5, I already fixed the radio stations." He crosses his arms and looks away, acting like he's king of some random planet.
I quickly stand up and place my hands on the desk. "Mother, I don't see why I need to be watched over. I'm already 17 years old; I don't see why you have to treat me like a child." I lean back a bit as I watch my mother stand up to retaliate.
"Trunks, if you wouldn't act like a child, then I wouldn't be treating you like one. I haven't sprung this subject up but now I think I'm forced to. I know you've been ditching school lately and even though you're doing wonderful in all of your classes, this isn't how a member of the Briefs family should be acting! Now until you act like a proper and responsible adult, then I'll treat you like one." At this point, I'm already sitting down and sinking into my chair while my mother is leaning over the desk. Fuck, I hate it when she makes these dumb lectures. And who told her?! I paid the security guards well!!
I look away as I speak, "Fine, mother. I'll do whatever you say," I simply just get up and make my way towards the door.
Right before I leave, my mother calls to me, "Oh Trunks. I forgot to tell you. Cancel all your plans for this afternoon, you're meeting Professor Son at 4:00, I want you to meet your new teacher and hopefully you'll be able to be thankful for taking such a wonderful course." My mother and father then leave right before I do as I just stare at her in shock. How the HELL can she rule my life?!
*~(^-^)~*
After discussing almost everything about college courses for the summer, I now stand upstairs, leaning against the railing as I just stare at the open front door, waiting for the movers to come in and bring us our furniture. It's already 3:45 and they were supposed to be here at 3:00! I lean against the railing and just look passed the windows and towards the street. How can I sleep without a bed? I see my dad walk through the door, probably coming from the back yard. He sees me and I just wave a bit. "Panny, we're having a guest coming in 15 minutes so please change out of your house clothes, okay?" I nod a bit and walk in my room.
I look through my suitcase and pull out baggy blue jeans and a blue and white baseball tee. I just put my hair up in a low pony tail and keep my black plastic frames on instead of wearing contacts. I just shrug a bit when I look at myself in the mirror, it's not like it'll be someone of importance, probably one of dad's colleagues. I tidy up my room, just incase dad wants to give his friend a tour of the house. I finally hear some of the moving trucks pull up our drive away as well as a limo with the license plate "Briefs 5". Wow, he must be rich.
I walk outside of my room, closing the door right after and I nod a bit to the movers as they bring the couches in first. I see my dad trying to dodge the movers and he approaches the two men that I can't really see at the moment. I begin to walk down the stairs when all of a sudden I begin to lose balance and I hold onto the railings as if to save my life. I saw the two men and one of them doesn't look too bad. As I slowly continue to walk down the stairs, I listen in on their conversation.
"I'm sorry about the movers; they were supposed to be coming in at 3:00. You must be Trunks' father," I hear my father say as I peek through the window while they talk on the right side of the lawn, to get out of the movers' way.
"Vegeta Briefs," He shakes hands with my dad.
"And you must be Trunks. You'll be attending my class over the summer, yes?" This Trunks guy just nods a bit and smiles as he shakes hands with my dad also.
"My mother tells me that you're very talented. I'll be looking forward to your class next Monday," he smiles a great smile again and he notices me as I slowly slip out of the door.
*~(^-^)~*
Once walking out of the limo, I glance at the house and shrug a bit. Suburban houses are much bigger than the ones in the city... and they actually have grass too... I was really expecting some measly apartment but this is nice. I notice all the movers and I just sigh, I hate it when everything's so chaotic. I glance at my dad as he just quickly walks up to the professor, you can tell he wants to get this over and done with. I check my attire, baggy khaki pants and a light blue button down shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned. I keep my hands in my pockets as my dad and Professor Son introduces each other.
"And you must be Trunks. You'll be attending my class over the summer, yes?" I manage to nod and smile a bit and shake hands with him. This guy better not be a bore!
"My mother tells me that you're very talented. I'll be looking forward to your class next Monday," I smile but inside I smirk from my suck up skills, not that I really need them, and it's not like I practice, if your parents are like mine, you'll understand why I lie.
I notice some nerdy, most likely college student walk out the door right after the movers come inside the house. So he has a daughter.. Easy 'A'! I smirk and direct my attention back to the professor. "I'm happy that you're excited, Trunks. Geo-physics is a very exciting subject, of course. I've read that you'll be taking your mother's place as president of the C.C., why would you need to take geo-physics?"
I was about to speak when my father says, "My wife and I wanted our son to be able to experience having such a great professor, my wife's idea mainly." I couldn't help but just nod along with him; He's a suck up more than I am!
Finally, Professor Son noticed his daughter coming towards us. I raises a brow a bit at her attire; she looks as if she's wearing her house clothes. "Ah, this is my daughter, Pan. She'll be taking my class over the summer as well."
I smile a bit, "It's a pleasure meeting you, Pan Son. I'm Trunks Briefs and this is my father, Vegeta Briefs. I'm very excited to be attending the same class as you." I reach for her hand and I could tell that she was expecting a hand shake but I kiss it instead. This whole course will be such a breeze! Just go out with the daughter and convince her to change the grade!
I smirk when she blushes, "It's a pleasure meeting you too, Trunks and Vegeta. I must be going inside now." She quickly goes back inside. She doesn't look too bad. What'll the guys say when I tell them I'm dating a college girl? I look back at Gohan and smile.
"The movers are almost done but we could go to the back, we have a couple benches out there."
