Part 17
By: Christina
Pan was awoken to the soft hum of the machine that bleeped. Trunks' eyes were closed from the long flight that was underway. They were far away from the ship now and were definitely off the radars.
Pan watched Trunks sleep until he was stirred by an unknown feeling in him. "Hi." He smiled sleepily. "Hi." Pan smiled. Seeing him sleep was peaceful, but being able to stare into his blue eyes was better. Pan looked around sheepishly as she was about to bring up another uncomfortable topic.
"About yesterday." Pan said uneasily.
"What about it? The kiss?"
Pan blushed wildly upon remembering it. "Well yeah that." She said.
"What about it?" He asked, happy he was getting the type of response he wanted.
"Well, it's just that…well, I don't know." Pan stammered. Trunks took this time to lean forward and give her another kiss. She was taken by shock, but enjoyed it nonetheless.
Trunks pulled away and looked at her. "You're like no one I've ever met before."
"But I'm 3rd class." Pan almost whimpered knowing that she wouldn't have her way anyway.
"That doesn't matter to me." Trunks said as he held her face with his hands.
Pan began to laugh to herself. "What?" The Prince asked.
"Well it's just…no, it's stupid." Pan wavered.
"No, I want to know. In case you haven't noticed, we're kind of pressed for entertainment around here…so do tell."
"Well, it's just that I had this dream that you and I…"
"…went to Earth?" The Prince asked. Pan looked up instantly, this time she was taken by surprise.
'Damn, this was supposed to be my surprise, not his!'
"I had that dream too." He said.
"You did?"
"Yeah, I did."
"But, how?"
"Who knows?" Trunks shrugged leaning back.
"Huh, interesting." Pan said. She looked around uncomfortably. This truly wasn't one of her current favorite positions. She tried to shift so she was able to just sit on Trunks lap, but he grunted uncomfortably.
"Trust me, you don't want to move." Trunks said sucking in a deep breath.
"Why?" Pan asked puzzled. "Ooh, never mind." She said grasping the concept. "So what do I do? Just sit here like this the whole trip? My legs are getting numb."
"It's either have them get numb or…just have them get numb." Trunks said. Pan nodded her head and just sat in a stupor. What was she supposed to look at? She didn't want to look at the Prince – that could lead up to something bad. She couldn't look out the window because right now her butt was taking a glance outside.
"What's going to happen to me?" Pan finally asked. That question had been itching to be asked since she first exposed herself as a woman.
"I honestly don't know." Trunks shrugged.
"No, tell me." Pan said looking deep into his eyes. No male of the Saiya-jin race could ever bare a woman looking deep down into their eyes.
"Depending on how severe the situation – death." Trunks said.
"How severe is my situation?"
"Well let's see. You told a commanding officer you were a male when you first checked into camp, you came in and posed as a male and made everyone in the army believe you were a male, you fooled the King into believing you were a male and you were even promoted to a commanding General yourself." Trunks listed.
"I didn't need a list of my accomplishments, thanks though." Pan said dryly. "I'm in pretty deep huh?"
"Yeah, just a little." The Prince said. Pan wanted nothing more than to leave the ship and head for Earth. It would have probably been better on Earth anyway.
"Why Earth?" Trunks asked. Pan blinked at him in amazement.
'He must have ESP,' she thought.
"Earth is better."
"Why, you don't like Vegetasai?" The Prince questioned.
Pan looked at this situation in astonishment. 'This is exactly like my dream!' She wondered where things would lead if she were to follow the same path she did in her dream.
"It's not that I don't love Vegetasai, I do. It's just a different type of love. I love Vegetasai because my family is there and because it's my home. I love Earth because of its beauty. They always have a deep rich blue sky; whether it is night or day. Their water is so pure and clean compared to ours. And their sky has not as much pollution as ours. I wake up to the smell of the early fog…on Earth I can wake to the sun shining on my face." Pan said dazed.
Trunks looked at her. "I never really thought about Earth that way."
"Yeah well, that's all I think about." Pan said looking down at her hands that she began to play around with.
"You've done Earth…now what's great about Vegetasai." Trunks asked grasping her hands. Pan looked up amazed but saw sincerity in his eyes.
"Well…it has…a really good army?" Pan questioned innocently looking up. Trunks laughed a laugh that rippled through Pan and sent shivers up and down her spine.
"I suppose, but this is coming from the General of her own troops."
"Yeah, I guess it is." Pan said quietly looking into his eyes.
The Prince looked at Pan. His hand caressed her cheek as he brought her face closer to his. Pan closed her eyes just as Trunks did but suddenly.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Could this be another dream? Okay, take a guess before going on to the next chapter! It'll make things just a tad bit more exciting now won't it?
