Forgotten Pleasures
Chapter Two- Prince of Fools
"Pan?" He shot up in bed and looked around. He had just woken up to an empty bed without his last night lover. He reached to the sides of his king sized bed to see if she was hiding under the covers. She was not.
Trunks got out of bed and took his boxers off the floor. He put them on and went into his bathroom. He checked every corner of it and there was no sign of her. Confused, he walked out of his bedroom into the hallway.
"Panny!" he called out. But nobody answered. Instead he heard something break. It was a vase somewhere around the corner. He ran around the corner and narrowed his eyes. Pan had run into a vase and broke it. She had run, he could tell. She was running away from him. But why?
"Pan what are you doing?" He asked as if he was clueless. Pan looked up at him. Tears were apparent. They were welling up in her eyes but she fought them from coming down.
"None of your business." She replied in crude monotone. Then her eyes went back down to the ground as she got up. He knew she was hiding something.
"You were running away weren't you? Why?" His voice was strict and harsh. But he was trying not to get too mad.
She looked back up at him. Her eyes were had a fire in them that he had never seen before. This was Pan, one of his best friends, a happy joyful girl. Why was she looking at him like that?
She gave him another frightening glare before responding, "I hate you."
Trunk's face went pale and dead. He stepped backwards. His eyes went wide in surprise. He didn't say anything he couldn't even move. He finally opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't.
Pan turned away from him and started to walk. Her walk was very powerful her head was up in the sky full of pride. Because she had regained it back. But by regaining it back she left his body numb and torn. As well as his heart. And for the first time he realized that he actually had one. A broken one.
Trunks woke up sweating and panting once again. For years he had terrible nightmares such as that one. His dreams never graced him one night of peace. The feelings were still the same. He never got used to it and he felt as if he never would.
Trunks sighed and picked up his martini glass and drank it down. He hoped to drown out the memory of her. Every night he would try and figure out what went wrong. He saw her stares across the room sometimes. He knew her wishes and desires and yet she hated him for fulfilling them. Her looks were deceiving though. She was vixen to Trunks.
When she turned sixteen she started to blossom and she would were skirts and tank tops with sandals all the time. She was very appealing to the eye. She would walk around the city and palace, and men would be drooling over her every second. While Gohan, Goten, and Trunks were glare at them off at the side lines.
He always denied to himself that he was attracted to her and that he had feelings for her. But watching her with other men and watching her in her somewhat revealing outfits eventually got the best of him. After a year or so on her seventeenth birthday he took her innocence and she had hated him ever since.
Bra even started hating him. When she found out she told him that he was no longer her brother. She disowned him. His mother had tried several attempts to get her to talk to him again but none of them worked. Bra would talk to anybody. His cousins, his uncle, his grandparents, his mom and dad, but never him. Because of that one night he had lost two people that really meant a lot to him. More than he ever realized.
Trunks looked out his window. The sun was peaking over the horizon now, illuminating the pink skies of planet Vegeta. He got out of bed and ready for his day at work. Another glorious day of being vice- president of Capsule Corporations and prince of planet Vegeta. Oh how wonderful. Trunks thought sarcastically in his head.
Trunks walked into the Capsule Corporation offices. He walked into his mother's personal elevator and went up to floor number one- hundred and eighteen. Once he got out of the elevator he heard his mother's voice on the telephone in her office. Whoever she was on the phone with she was mad at them. But that wasn't unusual. As president of the company nothing got past Bulma Briefs.
"YOU WILL DO AS I SAY! THIS IS AN ORDER!"
Trunks rolled his eyes. Another typical day with mother, He thought.
"SHUT UP!"
Trunks approached his mother. She was sitting in her large leader chair and her back was turned from him so he could not see her face. But he knew that he probably didn't want to see it this morning.
"THAT'S RIGHT MISTER I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP! HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU WANT?!"
What the hell is she doing, He thought confused, what kind of business is this?
"Look I know she's your best reporter but the amount of money I'm going to give you now to get this job done would pay for everything you ever wanted. Hell, it would even pay for your children's, children's, children's retirement at the age of five."
At this time Trunks had to interrupt, "Mother what are you doing?!"
"Hold on for a sec would ya?" Bulma said to her son without turning around in her chair.
"Okay are you ready for the amount I'm going to offer you, or are you not going to shut up?" Bulma snapped at the other man on the phone.
"Alright," she began, "I'm going to offer you twenty billion dollars in American money. How about that?"
"HOLY SHIT!" the man on the other said of the phone said. Trunks had heard him say it clearly.
What the hell is she doing?!
"That's right that amount of money barely puts a dent in my bank account. As president of Capsule Corporations I have trillions of dollars on both Earth and Vegeta. And all you have to do to get this money is to send her and the person that shares her office with her. Send them here. Order them here. You'll get your money if they get their asses here. Do you got that?...Okay good. Good day Mr. Waters."
"Mother what the hell was that about?!" Trunks exclaimed with his jaw still dropped as Bulma dropped the phone on its receiver and turned towards him.
"I'll tell you what I did. I'm getting their asses up here!"
"Whose asses?"
"You'll see."
"I just love how you're full of surprises mother." Trunks said sarcastically.
"Oh I know son. By the way your not dating anyone right now, are you?"
"No. Why?"
"Just wondering." Bulma said quickly and cheerfully.
"Mother I'm not an idiot? Well the hell is going on?" Trunks asked in an impatient tone. God I wish she didn't hide things from me. I'm not a child. He thought angrily.
"Well I can't tell you it's a surprise for your birthday." She replied with her eyes wondering around the room. She did this when she didn't want to tell him something.
"But my birthday is in four and a half months." He said.
"Well it's a big number for you son." Her eyes looked at him with fake cheerfulness as she said it.
"Mother, honestly, I'm turning thirty-one." He said quite amazed.
"Well that's a big number!" She was getting irritated now and running out of things to say. This is something Trunks noticed very well.
"You said thirty was the last giant birthday party you'd plan for me until I'm fifty."
"Prove that I said that Trunks Vegeta Briefs." Bulma said now staring at him through slits in her eyes.
"Well…I don't exactly tape my conversations with you mother. They're from memory." He stuttered slightly. She had obviously caught him off guard.
"Trunks you have a memory of a fish. Which I would never trust. You probably wouldn't even remember your name if I didn't address you it every day."
Trunks sighed and groaned. He gave up. He'd try with her another day. "Whatever." He breathed out. He set is suitcase on his desk which was across the room from his mother's desk. He decided just to forget about it for now and go back to work on another buyer deal. It was a big one. He had to make a deal with the King of planet Tiken. Which was a small planet in the Sombrero galaxy.
"Knock, knock." Trunks looked up at the people who interrupted his thoughts. It wasn't a surprise when he saw Goten and Gohan at his door. They had bought breakfast to him. Gohan was holding a piece of paper.
"What's up man? We have food for you from our mom."
"Yeah I saw thanks. Come in we'll eat together."
"Bulma do you want some," asked Gohan.
"No thank you boys I've already had breakfast."
When Trunks looked over and saw that his mother was listening to music on her head phones he looked at Gohan and Goten who were already digging into their breakfasts.
"Ok guys. What's really up?"
Goten and Gohan looked at each other and then looked at Trunks. Goten swallowed his food and started to speak.
"Well you see man I'd thought you'd be interested to know that we got a letter from Pan."
Trunk's heart stopped. His body went as numb as the day she said the three tortuous words to him. But then Trunks got all feeling back into his body. Why should I be excited? It's not a letter to me. She doesn't even care. He thought.
"So?" Trunks said in an arrogant tone. He rolled his eyes as if his two best friends had been wasting his time.
Gohan's eyes flashed red for a second and then went back to normal. Instead he just glared at Trunks and said quietly through clenched teeth, "You slept with my sister. You said that you cared about her. But now you're disregarding her like one of your whores?"
For the second time today Trunks was got off guard. He had never seen Gohan talk this way before.
"Dude you've got major problems," Goten addressed Trunks on a lighter tone just before taking a large bite of his bagel.
Trunks wasn't going to let down to them for a second. He had no place anymore in announcing his feelings for her. Why should he start now? "Guys get over it. She doesn't give a flying fuck about me. So why should I give a care about her?"
"She cares about you." Goten said almost unsurely.
"Bullshit, Goten and you know that."
"Well I think she does a little bit…"
"How would you know?"
"Well look at this Trunks and see what you think." Gohan urged on as he pushed the letter in Trunk's face. He sighed and opened the letter, admitting defeat to his two dear friends.
Well here goes nothing, he thought.
He started to read to himself her letter.
Gohan and Goten,
Well after these past six years I guess it's time to contact you two. After your hundreds of letters of trying to get me to talk to you I guess you can say I just gave in. So I'm going to tell you two one thing about the past.
All I know is that you took his side instead of your own sister's. It's interesting that after all I've done for you two it's never been enough. Even when I was younger and fell on my hands and knees you managed to ignore me and watch me bleed and cry. Well I guess you can say I gave up on you two. I guess this is what I should have expected.
Our age difference is so big that it's hard to get close. I mean let's face it. Goten you're eight years older than me. And Gohan you're thirteen years older than me. Mother always thought we'd be close. But I always knew that she was wrong.
Your "best friend" has always been the object of your attention over me. It's hard to believe that at one time he was mine too. He replaced you two for years as my brother, friend, and mentor. I guess you could say I looked up to him… But now he's gone. Forever out of my life. I want nothing to do with him or his adversaries. Even if it includes my own flesh in blood brothers. Don't write anymore please.
I'm going to repeat myself again I want nothing to do with you…or Trunks.
Your sister,
Pan Son
P.S. Come on Goten it's so obvious. You're Bra's secret admirer. Out of some left over respect for you I won't tell her it's you that's been sending her letters. Also, I guess in a way I could still say that no matter how far away I go from you guys. I still love you. So just incase I ever die this is the last time I will say this to you…I love you.
Trunks smoothed the letter out on his desk when he was done. He closed his eyes and pictured a place where he could imagine Pan at. He saw her face somewhere in the big city of New York and managed to crack a smile. She was radiant where ever she was.
"Trunks?" a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Trunks opened his eyes leaving his favorite place of the absolute pleasure he had been denied for years.
"So what do you think?" Goten asked.
Trunks smiled sadly as he thought of his Pan before saying, "She only announced her absolute hate for me. You didn't have to show me that."
"Didn't you see it though?" Gohan pressed on.
"See what?" What are they talking about?
"In the last part of the letter she said something that nobody has really heard her say in exactly six years."
"Which was…?"
"Dude you're so blind. Even I got it. She said your name." Goten said proudly.
"Remember," Gohan said, "she swore if she ever addressed you in anyway to anyone it would be bastard, it boy, man whore, or him."
Trunks looked down at the letter again. They were right she had said his name.
"Also," Gohan added, "Look at what she said about how she used to see you has a brother when she was younger. Well at the end of the letter under PS she basically said I love you guys."
"Which obviously means she not only loves her brothers but…." Goten tried to speak but then he was cut off by Trunks.
"She loves me too…" Trunks whispered to himself wide- eyed.
Closing his eyes again he pictured her the night they were both together in bliss. The night he reached absolute heaven. The last night he was given to have with her. The night that caused her to leave him for all these years.
He was denied of her for years. All that was left given was memories. But now there may have been new hope. Pan Son was a genius. The top of her class in high school and a brilliant writer. But even as a genius she could not recognize her own feelings.
I will have you Pan Son…
