Chapter Five: Liar
I wish that I hadn't have worn high heels today. Just my stupid luck. I had never had the right amount of luck. My mother even told me I had no luck. It could have been Bra who was my jinx. She pushed me to wear these. What a great friend.
"Panny stop right now!" Trunks voice stood out like a cheerleader shouting through a blow horn. The palace walls didn't help either. His voice could probably be heard miles away.
"I'm sorry your highness, my name is Crystal not Panny. I'm sorry I have to leave, I um left the iron on in my hotel room." Pan's high heels clicked against the floor with each quick walking step she took. Trunks wasn't that far trailing behind.
"I know you're my Pan. Did you honestly think by putting contacts in and changing your name and hair would fool me? I know you Pan. No one has the same features as you and no one has a size four and a half foot size on planet Vegeta except you."
"Sir, really, my name is Crystal Ann Pinnacle, I'm earthling and I was born in Brooklyn." Pan could hear in the background that Bra was done with her interview.
"Thank you Mr. Son. I'll be sure to clear up your gossip problems for you." Bra turned around and saw Pan walking away. She didn't notice Trunks behind Pan. Without even thinking she spoke.
"Hey Pan, wait up!"
Goten's jaw dropped to the ground. Pan stopped dead in her tracks. Trunks stopped right after her. He smirked as she stopped. He had caught her.
Pan took her sun glasses off the top of her head slowly. She folded them softly in her hands, which were beginning to sweat.
The only thing that could be heard in the great hall was Pan's high heels, as she turned around slowly. When she was completely around she saw that Goten's jaw was still dropped. Bra's eyes had basically bulged out of her head and both hands were clasped tightly on her mouth. Trunks was smirking arrogantly.
"Thanks a lot Bra. After six years in hiding you totally blow it."
"Pan I'm so-." Pan cut her off.
"It's ok Bra. You know I love you. It was a good idea."
"Oh my god! Pan! How are y-." Pan cut him off too.
"Goten, shut up." Pan said quietly. It was a dangerously low tone. Goten could still hear it with his own Sayain hearing.
"Bra, Goten, look why don't you two just leave for now. Okay?"
"Alright," Bra answered. "Come on Goten." She touched his arm lightly and he followed her through the other way out the hall.
"So this is what you're up to now Pan. You're a reporter. I never would have guessed."
"Yeah well, I had other dreams, but they just didn't work out." Pan shot a death glare at Trunks.
"They were on this planet. So you had no other back up plan. Planet Vegeta had nothing plans? Planet Vegeta had nothing else to offer you?"
"That's right. If I did find something else, I would still have distractions."
Trunks gulped a little and looked around. "What were these distractions?"
"It was a who," Pan crossed her arms, glanced at the ground quickly, Looked back up and swallowed a little bit. "Namely you."
"Pan…"
I don't want your explanations Trunks. Because all you are is a spoiled bratty prince, You care for no one but yourself."
His eyes were glazed over in a sorrowful way. He looked up at her, "That's not true Panny. Yes I am a spoiled prince. I don't know about bratty. But you're wrong. I do care for other people I care about you the most Panny."
"Stop calling me that. You've lost privileges. Don't use that bullshit that you care about me. Because you don't."
Trunks changed his mood into hot anger. Nobody got to him like she did. "I haven't slept with a single woman since you left. I have a drink every morning just to get me through the day." He took a step with each sentence he said, "I've flooded myself with work in order to forget about you and it never ever works. I haven't gone to sleep with out a dream about you invading my mind." Now he was right in her face looking at her straight in the eyes. He took her chin in his hands and he quietly said, "You're not the only one who suffered Pan. But probably the greatest I suffered came to the fact that this whole time you weren't with me, by my side, in my bed."
Trunks leaned down to meet her lips. His breath was searing hot on her lips. That was the last feeling she had in her body before it went numb. He kissed her with every emotion he ever had to face because of her. His passion left deep scares in her body, but they weren't painful. His tongue reached her lips, begging for permission to let him in. Pan moaned a little.
Her moan seemed to jolt her mind back to reality. She bit down on his bottom using her fangs. Trunks jumped back a little and wiped his lip with his forearm. There was a little blood. He seemed to be furious at first but then he smirked mischievously.
"Beautiful, smart, strong, sexy, and … rough? Well if you wanted it that way," He stepped forward to her, his breathe hot on her neck, while he seductively said, "you should have just told me." Pan growled in response along with her sexual frustration.
"Get away from me Trunks. This is over. I had dreams and you took them from me. In time I can forgive you. Just, please, leave me alone."
Trunk's face hardened a little, "You had other options. You didn't have to hate me. In fact, I don't think you hate me at all. You love me Pan Son."
Pan's eyes looked hurt for a slight second but then she took a deep breathe and said, "Maybe once, but not now."
"Bullshit. You didn't even look me in the eyes and say that." He grabbed her hips and forced her body to press up against his, "I know you baby." He took his hands and rubbed them up and down her back. He kissed and sucked on her neck until he reached her left ear. He lightly bit her ear.
A single tear fell down the left side of her face. But Trunks kissed it away. "What's wrong Panny?"
Pan let all the anger she had at him over the years build up in her body. She roughly pushed him away and he stumbled backward.
"You bastard! Exactly what I said before. You care about nobody except yourself. If you truly cared about me you wouldn't have taken it that night six years ago! I had an abstinence scholarship to the top school on planet Vegeta. You needed to have a perfect record in order to get in! I did everything I could! It didn't matter that I came from a first class family!
I did everything I could to get in! I did soccer, I took every AP class offered in high school, and I even joined the abstinence club! You know when the tested me to see if I truly stayed abstinent before I went home to pack my stuff for earth, do you know what they said! They said that I was a fake and they didn't want me at their school! All I wanted to do was get into their art program and became a famous sculptor and painter but you had to come and ruin it! I was a vulnerable virgin Trunks and you had no honor to your name to stop what you did!"
"You could have been an artist without that stupid school! You're right you were a vulnerable virgin! I wanted the best for you baby! I didn't know you were apart of the abstinence club! I had no idea until your brothers told me. You don't know how I've felt all these years about it! You can't blame me for something I had no idea about it!"
"You were my best friend Trunks. I'm sure you knew about it. No in fact I'm positive." Pan said shaking her head, "so explain to me how you didn't know."
"I don't know Panny." He said quietly.
"Trunks after all that's happened. I don't believe you. I'm sorry. I even remember having a conversation about it with you. Don't lie to me." Pan said sadly.
"I'm not lying." He stated firmly.
"You keep on believing that Trunks." She turned around abruptly and walked away from him. He didn't go after he just stood there with an emotionless expression. Before Pan turned the corner. Trunks looked up and shouted to her, "I will have you back Pan Son!"
There was no fault in her steps as she turned the corner.
Pan felt as if she had way too many emotions in her body. She took out her contacts as she left the palace. There were few people she could talk to right now. But she knew two who always loved her and listened to her. Pan took flight into the air and went a block away from the palace to her old home. It was more like a mansion since her family was first class.
She landed on the front porch. Pan opened the door without knocking. As soon as she entered the room familiar scents of ginger and cinnamon filled her nose. She smiled to herself. She was defiantly home. In the study there were familiar voices, somewhere not from her household. But she knew who they were. There were two from her own household.
"Bardock who will be attending the ball tonight in your family?"
"Well Goku and myself. Goten and Gohan should be going and of course Neva and Chi-Chi. Raditz and Turles are coming too."
"How is Neva now days? I haven't seen her in forever."
"Yes well she does keep busy."
Pan peeked in the large family room and smiled. Her grandfather and father were sitting on the couch and across from them on the other couch were Vegeta, and King Vegeta. Pan didn't want to interrupt, but she did miss her father and grandfather. She missed the smell of cigars and apples of her grandfather.
Pan knocked on the doorway bringing the attention of the whole room.
"Hey daddy. Hi grandpa." Pan waved.
Bardock and Goku shot of from their seats and radiantly smiled.
"Is that my baby Panny?" Bardock said.
"Oh yes that's my baby girl." Goku responded, "I'm not so sure about that hair though. It's pretty freaky."
"Oh daddy shut up." Pan said happily and she gave them both a hug, "I missed you both so much."
"What did I tell you Goku," Bardock looked sternly at him son, "I told you that she would be back, I saw it in my vision."
"Dad not this again," Goku groaned, "for the last time you are not physic."
"Brat I understand you're jealous that you couldn't get these amazing powers, but that doesn't mean you should take it out on me." Bardock said with a light sense of humor in his voice.
"Oh brother, I give up for today."
Behind her grandfather and father Pan saw two men that she was expecting to see. Her grandfather was the top advisor to the royal family, not to mention the king's best friend.
"Hello your majesty how do you do?"
"Well it's nice to see you again Pan," King Vegeta,(Trunk's grandfather) said in his normal deep raspy tone.
Pan smirked. She started to remember one of her favorite things she always did, "Oh hey Veggie, what's up?" In her mind Pan giggled. She loved to insult the ego of a great prince.
"You haven't changed a damn bit brat. If your harpy of a mother wasn't best friends with my woman I would have shot you along time ago." Vegeta scowled his anger was no different than usual.
"Oh I missed you too Vegetable head!" Pan said flashing her radiant smile at him.
King Vegeta threw his head back and let out a great roar of laughter.
"Brat…you're getting to my last nerve," Vegeta said through clenched teeth.
"Alright, alright, I think we're done Panny. You can have all the fun you want tonight at the ball," King Vegeta chimed in.
"Ball?"
"Oh you haven't heard," The king said, "well because of the deal with Capsule Corporations went so well with Tiken, we decided to through a ball for them to cool off the tension between their planet and ours."
"Pan you should go shopping with your grandma and mom today for a dress. No limit to cost sweet heart you can take my credit card," Goku said happily.
"I'm sorry everyone, but I can't go." Pan knew who was going to be at the ball. She refused to face him again. Lying bastard, she thought.
"You're going Pan." Bardock firmly ordered.
"No grandpa I can't go." Pan's voice pleaded.
"And why not?" He pressed. Pan looked around the room thinking about an excuse, when Gohan came in with Goten. He had obviously heard the news of her return. I hate to even think it but thank god for my brothers. She thought.
Pan faked a sad face and puffed out her lower lip and stated in a fake sorrowful tone, "Gohan and Goten said that I look fat in a dress and that I should never go to a royal ball!"
"WHAT!" Gohan and Goten yelled in unison.
"You brats are going in the training room tomorrow with your father and I," Bardock growled.
"But we never said that!" Both yelled in unison again.
"Yes you did!" Pan pointed at them accusingly.
"Pan what are you talking about? You're skinny! We've told you that your whole life!" Gohan fought back.
"Liar!"
"Brats enough!" Bardock yelled, "Look I have to finish up with the King here so why don't you all go up stairs and argue there."
"Fine with me," Pan said cheerily kissing her grandfather and father on the cheek before ascending the stairs. Goten and Gohan followed behind grumbling to themselves.
"What was that for?" Goten yelled at Pan.
"Hey if you guys want to get back on my good side then you'll shut up and listen. I'm here for three fucken weeks. So here's what's going to happen. I'm not going to any royal balls. When I home I'm quitting my job because I'm not going to interview Trunks again. During this time don't mess with me."
"Deal," Gohan smiled shaking Pan's hand along with Goten's.
"Can we get a hug now?" Goten pouted. Pan was reluctant as she leaned the other way.
"Come on Panny it's been six years. Just one little hug." Gohan coaxed her on. Pan smirked and gave in to her brothers. It was a short hug, but one long over due. No matter how mad she was or still was at them.
"Where are mom and grandma?" Pan recalled. They were the people she was looking for.
"They aren't here. They'll be at the ball tonight." Goten answered.
"Dammit." Pan cursed.
"Oh come one Panny you have to go," Goten begged.
"No I don't want to. Besides I look fat in a dress. Remember?" Pan smirked. Her brothers groaned, remembering they had a long day coming up in the training room.
"Oh no Pan, you're defiantly going, I'm ordering you to."
Pan looked to the door way and saw her friend Bra there with two guards at her side carrying a bunch of beauty supplies and two dresses. She had died her hair back to the original blue color and she no long had her eye contacts in.
"Bra," Pan groaned, "what are you doing?"
"I'm a princess and I'm ordering you to go to the ball. There's no escape I have guards at every entrance and exit of this mansion. You're going!" Bra answered.
"Bra why are you making me go?" Pan asked confused.
"Because it will be fun and when was the last time you had fun?" Bra asked.
"Well-." Bra cut her off.
"Exactly, you have no fun. You're like the exact opposite of fun."
"Thanks Bra," Pan said as if she had a headache. Something was telling her it was going to be a long night.
