Last time:
(Trunks' p.o.v.)
I watch her, hoping that she's not upset. You're so stupid, Trunks! "That's wonderful. I've never been on a cruise before." She turns to me and smiles a bit then goes back to her homework.
I breathe in slowly and exhale deeply. I brush my fingers through my hair and shake my head. What's going on Trunks? What's happening?
Chapter 13: Meeting the Gang
I walk around slowly, looking around frantically before hiding behind a wall. I breathe in and out deeply so loud that I'm afraid someone will find me. I sigh when I see no one in sight. Remember Pan! This is supposed to help you, not kill you! I grip onto the gun tighter, looking around to see if the coast is clear when…
The sound of temporary death occurs.
I jump up a bit and sigh when I see Trunks behind me, laughing like a mad man. "Got you, Pan-chan!"
I blush at the stupid nickname and luckily the recharger is right next to me. I dip my gun in and aim; "Now it's your turn, Trunksie!" I smirk and shoot.
"Not.. aww…"
I laugh and run. Dende, I never thought Laser Tag could be this much fun! I climb up a ledge and duck down so no one can see me. I smile when I see little kids chasing each other around, screaming and laughing. All of a sudden, I see Trunks leaning back against the wall, looking for me. I quickly get up, already aiming down at him. I yell out, "GOT YOU TRUNKS!!!" He looks up at me, shocked and I just laugh as I shoot.
Trunks quickly ducks down and I barely miss him. I quickly get off the ledge and run to the other side of the arena. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE PANNY!!
Suddenly I'm pushed into a wall after… running into a wall? I open my eyes to the dim area and hear a baritone chuckle. This guy touches my shoulder and smile at me. "I'm sorry; I guess we both weren't lookin'…"
I smile a nervous smile, at this point in time you can only really see someone's eyes and this guy has really nice eyes. I step back a bit. What's going on here? My back hits the wall and I almost freak out. "I'm really sorry." I turn to move, knowing that he's on the other team worries me. I don't need another person to shoot at.
He steps towards me and says, "Don't worry, I don't want to shoot." I turn around and look at him, confused. "My name's Yamcha." (A/N: I know, I know.. he's too old but hey.. I'm tryin to keep it all DBZ.. Well except for Christina.. Who would u want me to use?? Chi-chi?!? Haha) He steps a little bit closer and for some reason, I feel captured. "What's your name?" His voice is husky, totally different than how any guy has spoken to me before.
I smile a bit and say, "My name is-"
"What the fuck is going on here?!"
(-)
I look up once ducking down. Damn, that was close! I see Pan run farther away from where I was hiding and I just lean back against the wall. I notice the neon sign above the place Pan ran into say "Dead End". I smirk and shake my head, whispering to myself, "Bad move, Panny, bad move."
I decide to just stand here and wait. I glance around and notice that I'm hidden enough to not be seen at all! I lean back against the wall and look down at the gun. I think about today.
I wait for a couple minutes then I make my way towards where Pan went. I don't mind a good chase…
I turn around the corner and stop dead in my tracks. I see Pan up against the wall, with a guy leaning against her. Their lips are moving but their bodies are so fucking close! My free hand balls up to a tight fist while I just stand there. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!? I stop and my eyes squint, making sure it's Pan. My body stiffens and I feel my face turn red when I see a familiar dirty orange cargo pants. I have the urge to yell.
So I do. "What the fuck is going on here?!"
(-)
I jump up a bit, in fright as I see a very angry Trunks. Oh Dende!
"Get off of you her, you stupid fag!" My face turns red when I realize how close Yamcha and I really are and I quickly move away from him.
"Trunks, that isn't how-"
"Pan." That one word made my heart stop. I felt so inferior. It wasn't the word itself but just how he said it. There was so much anger, disappointment, and jealousy? I watched Trunks and I saw how his eyes squinted in anger. I looked down immediately right after and I noticed how his left hand is balled up to a fist and his right hand is clutching on oh so tight to the gun. I can say without any hesitation that I'm scared. "Come here."
I make a step then I stop. Why should I give in to this? Who is HE to control me?! "No, Trunks. I can handle-"
I was about to finish when he quickly aimed at my chest and killed me. Not literally of course. "Now go. Recharge." I just shake my head and walk to my post.
(-)
"Hey look man, I'm sorry. I didn't know she was your girl."
I slowly breathe and unfortunately, I begin to realize what I've done. I don't look at the stupid fag, I just shake my head. What's WRONG with me?! She probably thinks I'm a jerk.. "Don't worry about it."
I lean back against the wall and sigh. I don't understand why I'm feeling this way.. I'm not supposed to care.. not for her.. she doesn't even look like my type at all! I see the guy walk towards me and I just watch him. He smiles a bit and says, "You've got some control issues there."
I look down and my two left fingers squeeze the bridge of my nose. I laugh a bit and I hear him laugh along with me. Dumbass. "What's your name again?"
He smiles at me and answers, "It's Yamcha, man."
I laugh a bit harder and smile. "Hey Yamcha," I punch him square in the face and smirk as I watch him fall back on the floor. I walk away.
Later…
I look through the tops and frown in disgust at the tube tops and halters. What the hell is this?!
"Look Panny, I'm sorry okay?"
I look up at him and shake my head. "Don't call me that. My name's Pan."
Trunks looks at me and leans against the clothing rack with a tiny frown on his face. Stop trying to look so adorable! "I'm sorry."
I sigh and look at him. "You know you have no right to act the way you did."
"I know, I know. It was uncalled for, I can admit that. Please forgive me."
I give him a stern look and I shake my head. "You know I can't let you off that easy." I try to look interested at the tops, not wanting to look at his face. Stupid hoochies, these are all like underwear!
"I'll buy you ice cream."
I just look at him and say, "Only if it's vanilla." I smile when I see him smile.
"Of course."
(-)
I slip a hand in my pocket and smile a bit. At least she's not mad at me anymore. I smirk as I see a couple ladies pass and I wait in line in front of the ice cream shop. I look up at the screen which basically has the whole menu.
Now lets think, Trunks. I sigh and look down. I've never acted this way before. I don't understand. I mean, Pan's not that attractive and some dumb guy was all over her?! I turn around and look at her. I see her checking out a punching bag at the local sports store. I smile a bit as I watch her but then I frown. What if I'm turning gay?
I turn back around just in time to make my order. "Hey, can I have a scoop of vanilla on a cone and.." I look up at the menu, "Actually, make that two." I smile a bit and wait for my order to be fixed up. I keep a hand in my pocket while the other hand brushes my lavender hair back.
I jump up when I feel someone touch my shoulder but I smile when I realize who it or should I say his voice. "Hey buddy! Long time no see. I thought you already left us."
"Yeah, Trunks. Don't you miss me?" I completely turn around and I immediately step back a bit when I notice how close Marron was standing behind me.
"Hey there, Marron."
(-)
"Call him again."
"Dende, Marron, I already called him five times. His phone's off, okay?" I glare at Goten. Good for nothing..
I sigh and cross my arms. "I thought he was coming to the mall with us."
"Well he said he would."
I just frown and look at Goten. "Just call him again, okay?"
"Look Marron, he's not picking up. Why don't you just call him?"
My mouth hangs open and I just look at him, shocked. What?! "Bra! Did you hear that?! You better get your man straightened up!"
I turn around, facing my back to them and pout. What the hell?? I feel Bra's hand on my shoulder and I just sigh a bit. "Don't be mad at Goten, he can't help it if Trunks' phone is off. Besides, we're at the mall already, lets just get some shopping done."
I look around at all the stores and notice the orange 'sales' signs. I turn around and hug Bra. "Okay! Lets get started!"
We leave and giggle, not even noticing Goten walking the opposite direction.
(-)
I cross my arms and look at the ground. Why are girls so thick headed? Especially Marron. I look up a bit and notice Bra smiling at me instead of yelling like what Marron told her to do. She hugs me and kisses me on the cheek when Marron turns around, her back facing us. She whispers, "Don't mind her, I bet she's just PMSing."
I chuckle a bit and hug Bra tight. Dende, I love this girl… She goes to Marron and says, "Don't be mad at Goten. He can't help it if Trunks' phone is off. Besides, we're at the mall already, lets get some shopping done." …sometimes.
As they begin to walk off, I turn my head to at least glance at the sports store. I frown when I notice the new basketball shoes up on display and the ultimate sale on punching bags. I know I won't be getting anything there today.
My eyes travel to the ice cream shop and I keep recognize a certain lavender haired guy waiting in line. Thank you Dende! He's here!
I turn my head back smiling while I look for the girls. I smirk when I see Bra's butt. "Hey girls!" They both stop and look at me. I wave my hand for them to come back here. Once they arrive, I smile again and point. "Guess what's over there?"
Marron looks at me oddly. "You want us to get swim suits? Honestly Goten, we already bought them over spring break!" I look at where I'm pointing and I roll my eyes when I see that she believes I was pointing at the bikini shop behind the ice cream parlor.
"No, you dumb blonde! Trunks?! Over there?! Dende, help me out over here!" My arms fall to my sides in defeat until I feel Bra hold onto one of them. I don't even notice Marron giving me death glares while Bra smiles sweetly up at me. We just walk towards Trunks.
(-)
Sometimes, I don't know what to do about those two… I follow Bra and Goten, smirking a little. While walking towards Trunks, I fix my hair and reapply my shiny clear lip gloss. You're perfect, Marron!
I roll my eyes when I hear Goten say, "Hey buddy! Long time no see. I thought you already left us!"
I push Goten to the side a bit and I almost whisper in Trunks' ear, "Yeah, Trunks. Don't you miss me?"
I smirk a little when he turns around and sees us so close that it causes him to step back a bit. I bet he's nervous! "Hey there, Marron."
I smile and bring a few strands of hair behind my ear. "Hey Trunks," I say in a husky voice, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah, Trunks. We thought you died or something." I roll my eyes until I hear Trunks laugh and slap Goten's hand.
"I've actually been busy."
I look up a bit to see Goten nudge Trunks' stomach with his elbow. "Busy doin' what? Jerkin' off?"
Goten just laughs while Trunks punches his arm. "Nah you fag, I've been spending some time with this girl for the last week." I stay silent and just watch the conversation. Trunks doesn't even notice me! (A/N: So she's a little short.. haha)
"You talkin' about that college chick?!" I wish Goten would just disappear! I scowl and slowly breathe in.
"Excuse me, sir? Your ice cream." I see the two cones and I just look at him. We move to the benches. I don't even smile back at Bra as she just walks with Goten, holding his hand. I don't understand why she doesn't care that she isn't apart of this conversation! I sit down next to Trunks, so close that I almost lay my head on his shoulder. Bra and Goten stay standing up in front of us, Bra in front of him so he can put his hands on his waist. Why can't Trunks be like that with me? I don't understand what's going on with him..
"Hey Trunks, why'd you buy two cones?"
I just roll my eyes and say before Trunks can even open his mouth, "He's with the bitch now, Goten." Right after saying that, I quickly put my hand in front of my mouth. I can't believe I snapped!
(-)
"He's with the bitch now, Goten." I look down at Marron, realizing now that she's still here. And so close.
"Hey, don't call her a bitch. If I'm ever jealous of some sad loser you pick to go out with, you don't see me calling you a whore."
I see her pout and I slide away from her. She takes my arm and for some reason, I just don't pull back. "I'm sorry, Trunks. I have no idea where that came from!"
I sigh and just nod my head, "It's no problem, Marron." Girls.. they're like freakin' tigers. And not in a good way! I lean back a bit on the bench. There's no harm in just staying around for a little bit.. I glance at Marron when she scoots a little bit closer to me once again. I start eating my ice cream. "What have you guys been up to?" I smirk a bit at Marron and notice her staring up at him as if I'm a Roman god. I bet I could be the God of Sex and Pleasure. I laugh a bit at myself but stop when everyone looks at me weird.
(-)
I slowly walk out of the sports store. What's taking Trunks so long? I look ahead at the ice cream parlor and I don't see him in line. I hold onto my dark blue spandex shorts I bought while I furrow my brows. Where could he have gone? I turn my head towards the benches and I frown. I see Trunks sitting down with a few people around him, one of them sitting really close to him. Maybe I should just go…
I stand in the same spot for some time, thinking about what I should do. If I go over there, what's the worse that could happen? I sigh when I notice the girls over there. They're all dressed like.. I look down at my orange cargo pants, black tank top, unbuttoned dirty green button down shirt, and old, worn out sneakers. Well, this IS life.. I push my glasses up and walk to Trunks. Oh Please Dende, do something! Send me an angel!!
(-)
"You know Trunks, that other ice cream cone is starting to melt. I love vanilla." I look down at the ice cream in my hand and start looking around a bit.
I look at my watch. I've been here for ten minutes! (A/N: I don't know how long ice cream stays till it starts to melt!) I was about to stand up and run to Pan when I hear someone say, "Hey Trunks, who are you friends?"
I smile a little and quickly walk behind Pan. I give her the ice cream and say, "That's Goten. Goten, this is Pan."
Goten smiles at Pan and shakes her hand. "Pleasure meeting you, Pan."
"Nice meeting you too."
When I turn Pan towards Marron, I notice Goten whispering to Bra. Most likely asking who she is. "That's Marron."
Pan is still smiling and she says, "Hello."
I can sense Marron's a bit jealous for she keeps her hands to herself but she still smiles, an attempt to at least look nice. At least she says hi.
"And that's Bra, Goten's girl friend."
They shake hands and Bra says, "It's really nice meeting you."
"Me too."
Everyone's quiet until after a few seconds. Marron's the one to open her mouth. "So Pan, I like your pants." I see Pan smile. Why are you so naïve, Pan?!
"Thank you, it was actually a gift."
It was only Marron that laughed. "I bet they thought you were a-"
Bra cuts her off.
"Hey Pan! Come over here, I want to tell you something." I smile a bit at Bra as they both leave to another bench.
(-)
Goten and I are still standing. Well, I'm really just leaning back against him and he's holding me up. The boys are still talking and I just look around a little. I see a girl standing in the middle of the walk way. She almost looks like she's staring at our group. I frown a bit. I open my mouth to the share the news until Marron says, "You know Trunks, that other ice cream cone is starting to melt. I love vanilla." I shake my head and sigh. Sometimes I have no idea why I'm friends with her.
I look back at the girl and frown a bit when I don't see her. Hopefully she's alright. I jump up a bit when an unfamiliar voice says right next to me, "Hey Trunks, who are your friends?"
(-)
I hear Marron laugh and I just give Trunks a weird look. "Trunks, who is that girl and why are you laughing Marron?"
I scratch the back of my head and look back at Bra. She looks at me and smiles, waving slightly. I smile back an uneasy smile and just turn back to Trunks, waiting for an answer. He finally speaks after staring at the ground for a bit, "Pan is um.. that college chick, remember?"
I stop whatever I was thinking about. What was I thinking about? I do a double take at Pan then look back at Trunks, confused more than I've been before. She looks like she's 15! "Are you sure about that?" I smile a bit, trying not to laugh. I look at Marron, her face turning red from even some more laughter that she's trying to conceal.
Trunks sighs and then glares at me. "Listen. She's in my class and she's the daughter of my professor." His face softens up a little bit and he puts his hand on my shoulder, smiling when he does, and says "Catch my drift?"
I look at Trunks for a moment, taking notice at how he still looks annoyed at my question. I then smile, not wanting to push anymore of his new found buttons. "Sweet. I hear college chicks are nasty, man. Especially those that went to an all girl's for high school!" I smirk and glance at Pan before saying, "And she looks the type." We both laugh and slap each other's hand. I glance down and notice Marron's arms are crossed with a scowl on her face. She has some real issues goin' on…
(-)
I hold onto Pan's hand, practically dragging her to another bench until she sits down next to me. I smile sweetly, trying to ignore the uncomfortable look Pan gives me. "So, are you Trunks' new girl friend?" I see Goten looking at me and I wave at him. Dende, I love that guy..
I grin when I see her face go red and she looks down at the ground, avoiding my eyes. "Um.. I don't know. I've only known him for a couple of weeks and we're not…" She just shrugs and smiles at me, clearly uncomfortable now.
I laugh a bit and place my hand on her knee, letting her look up at me. "Don't worry, Trunks can be a bit confusing and I bet he's confused too." We both laugh now. "I like your pants, they look… comfortable." I give her a sweet smile. I have no idea what to say to this girl!
"Thanks, it's new. I really like your outfit," Pan says nicely. She's so sweet.
I tilt my head to the side a little and just smile. "Don't worry about Marron. She can be really mean sometimes. I think she's jealous of you."
Pan gives me an uneasy look and asks, "Jealous of me? Why would she be jealous of me?"
I lean closer to her and whisper, "She's got a thing for Trunks, but he doesn't want anything from her." I can tell Pan takes a look at Marron and then back at me.
All of a sudden I hear her laugh. I look at Pan oddly and she laughs some more before saying, "Now that's crazy. Look at her! She's gorgeous! Look at me, I'm just Pan."
I frown a bit. Anyone can be better than Marron. "I bet you've had a lot of guy friends when you were younger." She nods and smiles a bit, "Don't think you're not better only because you two look different. You're going to Trunks' going away party, aren't you?"
She looks at me confused. Please tell me you know all about it! "Going away party?"
I just blink and smile a bit. "Oh, I guess Trunks forgot to mention it. Well, Trunks is leaving Sunday and his family decided to have a going away party on Friday. It's really formal and it's always a lot of fun. The Briefs are known to have the best parties, ever!" I take her hand and say, "You're going to go, right?"
(-)
The only question that was going through my mind at that moment is: Was I supposed to know about the party? I look down at Bra's hand and sigh a bit. I look up at her, trying to smile but it just doesn't seem to work. "It's not that I don't want to go, I just would prefer Trunks asking me first is all."
Bra looks at me a bit confused but then she smiles and nods. "Of course, I understand. I guess I'd feel a bit awkward myself if I was going to a party I'm not sure I was invited to." We laugh off this uncomfortable situation. I hope he asks me. "I bet he just forgot to mention it."
I turn my head and look back at Trunks. I see him laughing with Goten and I smile a bit. I look back at Bra and smile at her, "I really hope so."
"Pan, I'm so confident that he's going to talk to you about it that I think we should go shopping together for the party. Here," I see her take out her wallet out of her purse and she gives me this card, "that's my number. When Trunks finally asks you to go, I want you to call me. I think I can help you out." She smiles a bit and I just put the card in my pocket.
I smile apologetically and say, "Thank you for the offer, but I don't know if I should go shopping with you." Bra looks at me a bit upset and I quickly say, "It's not that I don't like you or anything, it's just, we have different styles and tastes." I look down a bit until I hear her laugh.
"I highly doubt you'll have any problems." She grins at me and laughs some more. She better not be laughing at me! "You know what would be really fun to do?" She looks at me and I can see a mischievous twinkle in her eye. I just shake my head. "A make over."
Now it's my turn to laugh. "A make over?! A make over on me?! I don't know about that."
Bra smiles at me reassuringly, "Don't worry, Pan. I'm not trying to turn you into a major girly girl or anything. Besides, I just want to do it for the party. I think that with the right make up and outfit, you'll look absolutely stunning!"
(-)
"Don't worry, Pan. I'm not trying to turn you into some major girly girl or anything. Besides, I just want to do it for the party. I think that with the right make up and outfit, you'll look absolutely stunning!" I see the rest of the group walking our way. I bet they're really curious about me taking Pan away.. I bite my lip and try not to giggle. Before Pan can decline my invitation even more, I point to the group and say to her quickly, "We should make it a surprise and if you want me to, I can give you other styling tips besides for the party." I smile at Pan when I see her smile a little at me. I, then get up and wait for them to come.
Pan gets up as well and takes a step towards me. She whispers, "Thank you," and turns around. I wouldn't be surprised if she's looking at Trunks right about now. She has so much potential…
(-)
"Lets go see what Bra and Pan are up to." I look at Goten after his suggestion and smile a bit.
"What do you think they're talking about?" I look at Bra and Pan and I smirk a bit when I see Pan look back at me. This is interesting…
"I can't possibly think of anything for them to talk about. Look at 'em. It's like cats and dogs." I glance down at Marron and just ignore her comment.
"Why don't we just go over there and check?" Goten and I look at each other and just smirk. While we begin walking, I glance towards Marron just to see her scowl with her arms crossed. Wow, she's really upset today.. I notice her glaring at Pan, even though Pan's not even looking at her. She's looking at me. I smirk a bit before my lips turn into a smile. I notice Pan smiling when I do and I just wink at her.
Once we approach them, Goten goes behind Bra right away and wraps his arms around her. Marron stands closer to me and I just stand in front of Pan. I look at Goten and Bra, then say, "I'm sorry for this rude interruption ladies, but," I look down at my watch and it reads 4:45, "Pan and I have a movie to catch at 5:15." I take Pan's hand almost too quick and give Goten a high five before we walk away. I glance back at them and notice Bra taking something out of her purse while Marron sits down looking pissed off and Goten just looks dazed as usual.
As we walk out of the mall I glance down at Pan while we now walk to the car, "So, what did you and Bra talk about?"
She looks up at me and smiles, "Oh you know, just the regular stuff." We walk inside the car and I just look at her, dumbfounded.
"Are you two friends or something?"
Pan laughs and shakes her head, "Well, I just met her, Trunks? You can't be friends with someone you just met." She looks up at me and smiles. I smile too.
"Well what's the regular stuff then?"
Pan pauses for a moment then replies, "Oh you know, school and those types of things. She thought I was related to this underground rock star. Supposedly, I look just like him." She laughs and I smile a bit, unsure of the whole thing. Bra and underground music? I laugh along with Pan.
I turn on the ignition and shift to reverse. As I drive out of the parking lot (A/N: not in reverse of course!), I say to Pan, "I'm surprised Bra wasn't-"
A loud beep all of a sudden went off along with a vibration coming from my phone in my pocket. I smile a bit at Pan as I out my cell. A text? I look at the road for a while, making sure I don't crash into anything while I read it.
Aye its B! :P Jus wantd 2 say dat pans a swt grl n i tld her bout da goin away party! Dun wry, its makovr tym!! ciao!
I reply back once the traffic light turns red on me.
Yo its Trnks. thnks 4 wuh u did bak durr.. mar can b a bish sumtyms! wuh makovr?
"What happened?" I look back at Pan and smile a little when I start driving again.
"Oh it's nothing, just Goten." I enter the parking lot of the theatre.
"Is it anything serious?" She looks up at me and I can see a hint of concern. How can she be concerned for person she's only met today?
As we wait in line together to buy the tickets, I look at her and smile a bit. "I've been meaning to ask if you wanted to come to this little party my parents are hosting.. well, more like my mother's hosting on Friday. It's like a little going away party, are you interested?"
She looks down a bit but I see her smile. She glances back up after a little while and asks, "Do you ask all the girls you go out with to go to some party two days in advance?" (A/N: Yes I'm kinda speeding it up lols)
I lean against the wall in front of her and smirk, "Well, only the ones that I really like." Pan blushes and just walks passed me, letting me know that the line's moving.
"Well I guess I'm one of the lucky ones then."
For some reason, I believe that I am.
A/N:
First thing's first I'm so sorry about the late update!! I work a lot over the summer and it was really hard but please review!
Second, please don't hate Bra. It's not that she thinks Pan's ugly or anything; she's just trying to help a girl out. I hope I captured that.
Thanks for all the reviews! :D
