Hello again Minna! Well, I hope I got this part out a little faster than the first part. :-P I've been trying to overcome a brainblockage over the past couple weeks, but I'm hoping to get over it completely soon. Hmm...let's see, where were we? Ah yes...

Siege And Assist
Part 20
By: Christina

"That's a horrible plan." Pan said over her communicator as she walked to her room.

"What do you suggest then?" Freeza's voice inquired slyly.

"Well, leave Vegetasai alone until we have settled some things. I think it would be more beneficial if we talk things out first."

"How so?"

"Well think about it…if we were to make treaties with them, it's possible that we could get out more from them that way than us actually conquering Vegetasai ourselves! And to think, we could even have the King as our slave rather than killing him. Doesn't that idea entice you?"

"I suppose. You know, it's good to have you on my team. We'll discuss these findings tomorrow."

With that said, Freeza clicked off. Pan continued to her room and shut the door. She was instantly slammed into the door just as she closed it.

"I knew you were a traitor." The voice whispered vehemently into her ear. Pan couldn't help but enjoy the closeness but roll her eyes at the stupidity of the large male pressed up against her.

"Get off me will you?" Pan said as she shoved him off. "How'd you get out anyway?"

"Hello, I'm Saiya-jin; nothing can hold me back."

"Why do you keep calling me a traitor?! Get over yourself!" Pan said as she sat on her bed to remove her boots that were hurting her feet.

"Yeah, like I didn't hear that conversation out there."

"Yeah, you did hear that conversation. But you also heard the conversation between your father and me. That doesn't seem to faze you."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why do you always ask that? Maybe doing the right thing doesn't require an explanation you know."

"This is the right thing to you?"

"Hmm, being royalty on the side of a psychotic killer…or defending my people. I'm gonna have to go with the second option." Pan said sarcastically.

The Prince wanted to correct her, but he remembered that she was also royalty.

"Thank you." Trunks said out of nowhere. Pan looked up instantly, but he was already gone.

"You're welcome." Pan said taking her cape off.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hail Lord Freeza!" The loyal subjects sounded off as the Lord boarded his ship that was to take him to his destination. He was to go to Liazon to settle a disagreement that had flared between the two Lords since things with Vegetasai were getting intense.

"Let nothing bad happen." Freeza warned Pan as he boarded the ship. Pan bowed her "loyalty" and watched him depart.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Freeza has left me in charge of this operation until he comes back. You will take all your orders from me. You will not take them from anyone else, is that understood?!" Pan roared to the crowd of perfectly aligned soldiers. Prince Trunks stood on the side and watched as she took charge of the situation. She truly was built for the wages of war. "Now you are to go to Vegetasai and set up camp. You will await there for my orders. You are to be undetectable to any of the local citizens. If any of them see you, our cover is completely blown. Understood?"

"Yes Queen Pan." They all said respectfully with their bows.

"MOVE OUT!" Pan roared to the crowd demonically. They bowed one last time and made their ways to the ships that waited for them outside.

"Another day's work." Pan said walking past Trunks with a sly smile and a wink. Trunks couldn't help but blush a little at this.

*~*~*~*~*~*

It was getting harder and harder for Pan to suppress her feelings towards Trunks. She noticed that she had to avoid him a lot more than usual to prevent herself from pouncing on the demi-Saiyajin.

"Do the right thing." Pan said to herself as she made her way through the endless corridors.

"Oops, sorry." Pan said realizing she was lost in a daze. She instantly was caught in his gaze. His glistening body made her come to the conclusion that he had been training.

"Sorry again." Pan nodded in his direction before quickly making her way down the hall.

"Wait." Trunks called after her. Pan closed her eyes to mentally gather herself, but all that was in vain once she turned around to talk to him.

"Yes?" She inquired.

"Are you avoiding me?" He asked with a mischievous smirk on his face.

Pan concocted a plan in her mind as quickly as possible. Forcing on her most convincing scowl she muttered, "Well, you convicted me of treason!"

"Sure." Trunks said knowingly as he turned his back on her this time to walk back to his quarters.

"No really! It is!" Pan called after him.

"Uh huh." He said sarcastically as he waved her off. Pan fumed outwardly and advanced the other direction.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"That little encounter was totally uncalled for." Pan muttered as she threw things down on her bed. She went to the window to admire the view. Back on Vegetasai, she couldn't even get a glimpse of the stars on the count of the smog. But now, she was one of them in the deep vast sky.

"When I was a boy, I used to love looking at the night sky." A voice said from the corner.

Pan instantly jumped and went down into a sparring stance. "Don't do that!" Pan said once she realized it was Trunks. He came closer, and Pan dully noted that he still didn't have a shirt on. 'I wish he would.'

Trunks said nothing though. He went over to her and gave her the deepest kiss he'd ever given yet.

Pan was taken aback to say the least. She had her eyes still closed when he pulled away slowly. Had this really happened to her? She opened her eyes to see his blue crystal's staring into her chocolate ones.

"I'm sorry, but I had to." He said as he caressed her face some more. He bent down and gave her another kiss. This time, Pan was sure to participate. Slowly, they moved back towards her bed where she sat at the edge as he began to kiss her feverishly.

"This is going to change everything, you know that right?" Pan said between kisses.

"I realized that a long time ago." Trunks responded.

"I'm only a third class Saiya-jin too. Well, actually a sixth class." Pan said pulling away to look him seriously in his face.

"In my eyes, you were always a queen." Trunks said sweetly. Pan wanted to slap him for being so sappy, but she couldn't help but drown in his words. She smiled mischievously and pulled him to her on the bed.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Pan smiled at the warm embrace behind her. She didn't find a need for a comforter right at the moment. Actually, it was smothered amongst the floor. She mentally laughed at all the excitement that had taken place last night.

A buzzing sound snapped her out of her thoughts as she slowly got out of Trunks' arms. Being utterly naked and walking across her room, she shivered slightly at the change in temperature.

"What?" She barked over her intercom in a harsh whisper.

"Lord Freeza is expected to dock within the next two hours your highness." A monotone voice said.

"Shit." Pan said under her breath. "Okay commander." Pan said as she confirmed his message.

Pan tiptoed over to the bed and looked at the sight before her. The naked demi Saiya-jin snored soundly asleep. She hated to wake him from where he was, but she had no choice; but, how she did this was all up to her.

She slowly crawled next to his side and gave him a warm kiss on the lips. That eventually got out ruled when he began to respond and had her pinned underneath his massive body.

"We can't do this now." Pan said frantically between kisses.

"Why not? You're not tired are you?" Trunks grinned.

"Freeza is coming back in 2 hours." Pan said. This got Trunks' attention. Within seconds, he was flying about her room getting his things together and on.

"Haha." Pan chuckled as she watched him zoom about the room. Sure she was just as frantic as he was, but this was too funny. She gripped the sheets to her body to warm herself and watched in amusement.

"I'll see you later." Trunks said as he kissed her one last time and headed to his "prison cell."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Pan headed to the "prison" quarters where the King and Queen were staying and explained to them that they were never released from their quarters and such. This would make sure that Freeza would see Pan was treating them just like prisoners.

The Royal Family understood and Pan went back to being the harsh leader she had to pretend to be.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Lord Freeza." Pan bowed as she entered the royal dining hall that was set with a large buffet.

"Hello my dear. Please, sit. And you," he barked to a nearby guard, "call the royal family to join us."

The guard nodded his head and left. Pan calmed herself and went about eating. It had been 2 days since she had last seen Prince Trunks. True she was able to sneak out to see him, but it was too risky.

"They refuse to join you sire." The Guard returned.

Freeza rolled his eyes and stood with a flare. "What do you mean?!"

"It's okay, I will retrieve them." Pan said calming the Ice-jin. The last thing she needed was for Freeza to be in a bad mood.

"Please do before I get a migraine."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Pan walked down the hall quickly. It had been far too long since she had seen Trunks and she had missed him.

*knock knock*

"We're not coming!" King Vegeta roared.

"Yes you are." Pan said in her demanding female voice. Within seconds, the door was opened and a defeated King stood before her.

"Lead the way woman." The King stated evenly. He didn't like being bossed around by this tiny sixth class warrior, but he had to do what he needed to do. Being a King sometimes meant putting your guard down.

*~*~*~*~*~*

During dinner, Pan concentrated on her plans. So far, she had managed to infiltrate Freeza's security systems as well as the ship's inner workings. And with Trunks' and Bulma's help, Pan was able to understand the way the ship controls worked as well as all the satellites that were connected to the mother ship.

"This is good." Pan thought to herself as she planned more. The festivities would take place in a week. Her plan was almost complete and she loved it.

Wow, what does Pan-chan have up her sleave? Tricky isn't she? And my isn't she getting herself into lots and lots of trouble. ;-) Ja ne!
