Chapter Six: Apologies
Pan sighed, and pulled out her science book on the left side of the brain. She flipped to page 356, and read therums, equations, and facts that would be on her finals, but none of it sunk in. Her eyes glazed over, as Trunks appeared in her mind. She raised a hand to her neck where a golden chain hung around her neck. She got it from Trunks at her 15 birthday party.
She opened it, and read in her mind, hearing Trunk's voice say at the same time, Pan and Trunks Best Friends 4ever. The golden necklace was in the shape of the sun. Trunks had an identical one that was the shape of the moon. She sat up off her bed giving up on her studies. There was no point. She wasn't going to be there for the finals any ways.
She glanced around her dorm. The bed sat in a corner by the white wooden door, with the blankets askew, and books littering every inch. The baige carpeting wasn't visable through all of her bags, books, notes, and assignments. Her computer desk was made of oak, painted black with golden stars, and a silver laptop sat atop it. By the window, sat a book case literally overflowing of books. And pictures of the old days lined her walls. The flowers Wesley had brought here were beside her laptop. Her closet was pushed up against the wall on the other side of the room where the window was.
'I feel so, cluttered. Especially with the white walls. It's like an aslym.' She thought cocking her head in a Goku like fashion. Sighing, she decided to get up from her lazy ass, and do some cleaning. Hey, she was Chi Chi's granddaughter. She neatly put the close in the laundry basket, some going back into her drawer, and placed her books back onto the book case…..later deciding to organize them alphabetically.
She sighed as she stared at the laptop. She sat down on the computer chair, and turned on the laptop. She stared blankly at the screen, before deciding that she needed a good chat. Pan reached over and pulling open one of the drawers attached to the table, she retrieved a small red device. It looked almost like a snow globe, except that it had an extension cord attached to the bottom of it. C
She hooked it up to her laptop, immediatly, she her screen went black. An emblem appeared on the screen. Two golden dragons were flying over on another forming and "x", and A silver shield stood behind them. In cerulean letters, it read, "Masterians".
The emblem disappeared, and soon a web page appeared instead. She quickly clicked on the conversation icon, and was greated by salutations from different people, but she looked for one name in particular. She smirked as she found it.
~hey dngosu!~
#looking good fireneko!# was the response.
~thanx. Wha's goin on with the council?~
#Taya's throwing a fit. She want to abort mission s.u.#
~s.u?~ Pan questioned Dryden. She had not been informed about mission s.u.
#o. tha's right. Didn't tell u. s.u = save universe. ^_^#
~T_T u couldn't come up with something more original?~
#_' nope.#
~wha's Taya doin?! She crazy or something?~
#don know.# Dryden responded. Pan could just see him with a serious look on his face.
Taya was the one in control of the Masterians, since the Prince had disappeared on them. She was in charge of everything from the weapons, to the missions, and even the petty things like taxes. But since she was only filling in, she needed the councils approval before doing anything drastic. Or anything at all for that matter.
Pan started the conversation again, but this time, someone else joined the conversation.
~ Hey Marabu. U hear about taya?~
*yup. She be actin weird lately* Marabu was another one of Pan's friends from planet Neo Vegita-sei. She was most informed, and always up to date. She was the Princes best friend, and most of the time had more control than Taya did. Marabu was a General. Pretty high ranking for a female saiyan.
~how so?~
# she bein real secretive#
*man. If our prince was still here…..*
#he's with Catastrophie#
~o_O Catastophie? Who tha?~
*our enemy T_T. The 1 who gonna make our uni go BOOM! *
~well u don tell me these things no more!~
There was a knock on the door.
~G2g. some1 here.~ Pan got up, and turned off her laptop, and stashed the mechanism in her desk.
She opened the door. "Yes?" she questioned, and then slammed it shut as she caught sight of who it was.
*_*Trunks *_*
Trunks sighed. One day closer to the wedding, and his doubts were getting stronger. He sighed. Pan was his best friend, and she wasn't even going to be there. He had e-mailed her, called her, and even went to visit her a couple of times, but there was never any response. 'Trunks, what the Hell have you done? You've just about thrown yourself into a bottomless pit now. I'll go see her again. I know she's there.'
He stood up, and poked a head out his office door. His secretary was talking on the phone with one of his clients, and no one was around. He closed the door quietly, and opened an office window. God it had been forever since he had done this.
He jumped out, and finally stopped, before shooting off into the sky headed for Tokyo University. He stopped a big triangle shaped building with a sign infront. It said, Tonake Building. He walked through the door, and stepped into the elevator pushing the button for the 15th floor. As the elevator made a soft, "ping" sound, he got out. Walking down the empty hallways, he stopped at door number 9666.
He took in a deep breathe, and raised a shaking hand. Apologizing was way beyond his pride. But here he was, doing it. Trunks knocked, and let out a sigh of relief as he heard foot steps come towards him. Pan's familiar face opened the door.
"Yes?" she looked up, and met his gaze before, with wide eyes, slaming it closed.
He stood perplexed. 'She…..just…..slammed the…..door….in my…..face!' He knocked again.
"Go away!" came a muffled reply.
"Pan, open up! I know you're in there! I just saw you!"
"I'm sorry, Pan Son is not home right now, what you just saw was a hologram of her."
"I can sense you ki Pan. Open up! I want to apologize." There was a screech from down the hallways. Followed by a cry of his name. Followed by a whole lot more screeching.
His eyes widened. Girls. Lots of them. Coming towards him. He started banging on Pan's door. "PAN! OPEN UP! WILD FAN GIRLS ARE AFTER ME!!!!! PLEASE!!!"
The door remained closed, and the girls were getting closer. His pleading became more desperate. They were five feet from him. Then a small hand reached out, and pulled him inside. The door closed. Sounding with small clicks of a couple of locks.
Trunks let out a relieved sigh, and sunk to the ground. "Thanks Pan." Pan stood in front of him wearing a blue three quarter sleeve belly top, and white baggy track pants. Her hair had was up in a pony tail. She quirked any eyebrow. He was still in his work attire he remembered.
"What do you want?" her voice was bitter, but had a small glimpse of hope in them.
"Pan, you were…are my best friend, and I don't want to ruin the friendship." He stood up, and faced her. Gently toying with the gold necklace on her neck. "Please forgive me. I can't marry without you."
"Then don't marry at all." Pan said. She had one week and a half to get him to profess his love to her, and the first step, was to call off the wedding, or all hopes would be lost.
Trunks clenched his fist at his side. "I have to Pan."
"No you don't. Not if you don't want to."
He looked into her eyes. "Yes I do."
Pan stared back. He was really convinced that he loved Marron. 'Maybe he does.' Pan thought. 'Maybe he really does love her… and the prophesy was talking about someone else.' Pan lowered her eyes at the thought.
"Pan, listen. I know that you're convinced that you like me, but there are plenty of other fish out in the sea. The world it big."
"You don't understand."
"Yes I do. But nothing you say will stop me from marrying Marron." 'That came out a little harsh.' Trunks thought. "How about we promise to always be best friends. Nothing will come between us ever."
Pan looked into his eyes. This would have to do. She wasn't going to get anything better. Maybe, she could escape her fate, and get the Prince back anyways. Without Trunk's love. "Okay."
Trunks smiled. He hadn't lost his best friend. "Will you be the maid of honour at our wedding?"
Pan nodded. Tears were welling in her eyes again, but not because she was being rejected this time. No. Because she had failed both her grandpa, and her clan. Because now, she was going to be alone for the rest of her life.
Trunks didn't notice. "Great! I'm glad we're best friends again." And he headed out the door thinking that every thing would be okay. But everything was far from it. This, was nothing to the future events to occure.
*_* Some where in outer space *_*
"M'lord, the shadow day draws closer. And our troops are not yet ready." Said a bowing woman with blonde hair.
A figure stood in the shadows smirking. "A change of plans Tajain. It was not the corrupter we were supposed to be after. We are supposed to be searching for the warrior. The Prince. Or should I say…Princess?"
"We have found out more about the guardian. It seems she is loosing our deal."
"Good. Good. Make sure to keep an eye out for what was his name? Dryden. That was it. Keep a close watch on the three of them. They are the key. They shall bring us to power."
"Yes m'lord." The woman exited the room.
"Soon. Soon I shall power, the universe, and a worthy Queen by my side." A snide, horribly evil laugh filled the hall ways of the ship.
*_* Piccolo*_*
Vegita's head snapped up. Something was wrong. Something was amiss. The birds were disturbed, and the wind held a vile feeling in them. He stopped his meditating, and started flying towards capsule corp. Vegita would want to know of the changes. They'd be on Earth soon, and time was running out. Trunks had to call the wedding off. Soon!
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Gah! So sorry! I got the flu, and got caught up on a whole bunch of major tests. I'm sorry! I'm over a week late! I just haven't been feeling up to it. But with out further adu, thanks to the following.
