Broken Promises

Disclaimer: Cheese Louis. Nobody's listening! I don't own DBZ!!!!

Chapter Four =P

Pan stumbled into Capsule Corp. She had to prepare for the worst. She had to tell them. They were coming, and wither she liked it or not, she couldn't let Earth crumble no matter how much it hurt her pride. Everyone was there. Once again, she felt rather secluded. She stood straight and tall, and crossed her arms. A cool expression on her face. She would not let her worry shine through.

"PAN!" Bra screeched. "Where were you?! You haven't called or anything. Like you wanted to pretend we didn't exist."

Pan almost sneered, but decided against it. No matter how much Vegita agreed with her, he still loved Bra, and Bra was her former best friend, not to mention she was the saiyan Princess. So as kindly as she could, she responded.

"Well, you haven't given me much reason to keeping in contact." 'Okay.' She thought. 'That could've come out better. But it wasn't the worst of snide remarks now was it?'

"See. I told you she was ungrateful for all we've done for her."

Pan's eyes flashed to Marron. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Krillen wince, and 18 shake her head. Under Pan's intense stare, Marron seemed to shrink. "You've done for me?" Pan chuckled. "Hell, if any ones done anything for me these past few weeks, it's been Piccolo and Pri-King Vegita."

Vegita puffed out his chest in pride in his corner. A smirk graced his lips. At least someone who was related to Kakarot had common sense.

"Pan!" Videl scorned.

"Watch your mouth young lady. Marron is your elder. Show her some respect!" 'No matter how little she deserves.' Gohan thought quietly. The blonde was getting on his nerves. He had seen her flirt shamelessly even though she was engaged, and he totally agreed with Pan.

Pan glanced at everyone in the room. Her eyes connected with Piccolo, who nodded, and she nodded back. Then, she turned her eyes to Vegita. He also nodded in consent.

Marron eyed her wearily. If Piccolo, and Vegita sided with her, then most likely the rest of the Z Warriors soon would as well. So, she had to get her then, and there. Trunks would never see through her act. She'd done it a million times, and each time, she got what she wanted.

"My, my Pan. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were interested in men old enough to be you grandfather."

"Marron!" 18 snapped.

Trunks looked shocked at the girl he held in his arms. He glanced at Pan. Her fists were clenched tightly at her sides. Head bowed, and hair covering her eyes. Her fists were shaking in anger. He glanced back down at Marron.

"Marron, take that back."

"But Trunks, I was only saying on my mind." She pouted.

"Marron, I suggest you take that back right now, if you don't want an early grave." Pan managed to get through her teeth. All eyes turned from the couple, to Pan. Mouths started to fall. Pan's ki was higher than any one had ever seen it. Her eyes a greenish, blueish color.

"B-b-but when? Pan you're only quarter saiyan!" Master Roshi gawked.

"Watch the quarter uncle. 'Cause apparently, quarter is enough for me to kick your ass."

"Panny! Why are you so cold all of a sudden?" Videl all but yelled at her.

"Why are you so noisy? For someone who informed me of anything going on in their life while I was gone, you sure want to know a lot about my life."

Vegita stepped out from his corner, and entered the front of the crowd. "Show respect mother Koneko."

Pan hesitated, and her eyes narrowed. "But King Vegita…"

"Listen to your mentor Pan."

"Yes Master Piccolo."

Everyone in the room stood in awe. First, Pan was a super saiyan, and then, next thing they knew, Piccolo, and Vegita were her mentors. 'When did I miss out on so much of my daughters life?' Videl turned away, and hid her head in Gohan's chest. 'When did I loose my only daughter?'

Similar thoughts were going through Gohan's head. 'When did my little girl grow up? When did she grow such a strong distaste for me? Why?' But he knew the answers to his questions. It was because of Marron. Marron never did inform Trunks of her coupling with Trunks like she said she would.

"Sorry Mother." Pan mumbled. "But you, I cannot forgive." She turned to Marron.

"Watch it Pan. She's my fiancée." Trunks stepped in front of Marron, and behind him, said girl was smirking.

Bra decided to step in. "Trunks, Marron had no right to say those things."

"Pan had no right to provoke her."

Pan burst out laughing. "Me? Provoke her? Please. Stop being so blind. She's just digging around Trunks. Open your eyes."

"How dare you Pan. How dare you come into my house, and act the way you are? What happened to you?"

"No Prince Trunks, the question is, what happened to you?" Trunks heart felt as if he had been stabbed. She had called him 'Prince Trunks'. And it was true. Marron did provoke Pan first. But before he could apologize, Pan opened her mouth.

"I came here, to warn you of our new enemy. Apparently, you don't need my help. So I'll just leave, and you can back to swooning over the newly weds. Forget I even came. Hell, just forget I exist." She turned to leave.

"PAN!!!" Goten yelled. He started after her.

Pan spun around in mid air, and her ki turned cerulean. Raising her hand, she shot a ki beam at Goten. Not prepared for the attack from his own niece, it hit him full force, and when her got up, he was soaking wet, and shivering with cold. Did Pan just attack him with a water attack?

Trunks sighed, and let go of Marron. Marron's eyes narrowed. Now he had done it. He had ruined the friendship between him and Pan. Things were getting worse by the minute. He ran a shaking hand through his hair.

"You better fix this brat." Vegita growled as he swept past him, and diappeared somewhere.

"Well, who's up for tea?" Bulma asked trying to lighten up the room. Then chuckling nervously as heads turned to her.

Swallowing his fears, Trunks stepped out of the building, Marron trailing behind him.

"Trunks, sweetie, where are you going?" She said as sweetly as she could.

"I have to go apologize to Pan. You should to. Some of the things you said to her back there, weren't exactly the nicest things to say."

"But Trunks, she provoked….." she trailed off as Trunks took off. She growled. Pan was getting in the way. She was supposed to be Mrs. Marron Chestnut Briefs by now, but the stupid runt had gotten in her way.

~_~;; Trunks ~_~;;

Trunks found Pan's ki in a remote forest. He lowered his ki, so that she wouldn't sense him. He walked towards it, but as he got closer, he heard voices. He was about to turn around, until he heard a voice that he had not heard before. Feeling jealousy rise in the pit of his stomach, though why he was jealous he would not admit, he walked towards the voices, and hid behind a tree.

"They aren't listening to me." Pan was saying.

There was a sigh. It sounded masculine. "They are idiots. The lot of them."

"Watch what you are saying about my King, and mentor. I may be working with you, and you may be helping me, but my loyalty lies first with them. Though, I can't say the same for my so called friends."

Trunks winced. She was right. Wedding plans were really getting to him, and he didn't seem to notice how he was treating her before. He took a chance, and glanced out from behind his tree. Pan stood by a small stream, and in front of her appeared to be a hollow gram.

The man was, much to Trunks' dismay, rather attractive. He had re fiery hair, and blue/gray eyes. He stood at the same height as Trunks, and had broad shoulders. His muscles were enough to make any girl swoon, yet not quiet buldging.

Trunks bit his bottom lip. Could Pan have a boyfriend that she didn't tell them about? He sure as Hell hoped not. It just, didn't seem right for her to have a boyfriend. 'I should be her boyfriend!.....Woah! Where'd that come from. Well, where ever it came from, it sure ain't my heart. I hope. If it did, my life would be screwed. I'm engaged for Heaven's sake!'

Pan had began talking again. "How long till you reach Earth?"

"Not long. A month at most."

"Are you sure Dryden? Don't make any miscalculations. I must know for sure."

"Yes. Why the sudden worry?" the man, Dryden, his voice lowered a few notches, and became very serious. "They're not there already are there?"

"No, but….." Pan paused.

Trunks held his breathe. Had she heard him? He had accidentally dropped his watch, and it hit a small twig. The twig snapped due to the weight of the silver, and Pan seemed to have heard it.

"We shall continue this later Dryden."

"As you wish Koneko."

There was a faint beeping sound, and then Pan's voice broke the silence. "Come out Trunks. I don't have time for games."

He winced. Slowly, he walked out from behind the tree. "Pan, who was that?"

"Why are you here?"

"Don't answer a question with a question. Who was that."

"None of your business."

"I'll answer your question if you answered mine okay?"

Pan nodded. "That was Dryden."

"I know, but, where's he from? How do you know him? That isn't answering to question Pan."

"You never said that I had to go into details. Your turn."

Trunks sighed. "Okay, okay, I'm here to apologize."

Pan raised an eyebrow. She was feeling amused. "Oh?"

"I'm sorry okay? I've been a jerk lately, and I just noticed. Please forgive me. I really want your friendship back. I miss you Pan. I miss the old times. Everyone does."

Pan looked off into the distance behind him. "Trunks, I can only forgive you, on one condition."

"Yes? I'll do anything."

"You promise?"

Trunks paused, then, "Yes."

"Break your engagement with Marron."

!_!_!_!_!_!_!_!_!_!

Holly mother of pearls! Yes. Will Trunks say yes or no? How much does he really care for Pan, but most importantly, who is Dryden? Any who, this is like that fastest I'll probably update. Free time.
