FLASHBACK

PAN'S POINT OF VIEW

I so wanted to be a super saiyan, just like my grandpa and my father. Even my brother Kai achieved super saiyan at a young age. It used to be just Bra and me that where non-super saiyans. Until it happened to her as well. It happened because of her boy friend (who she deeply loved) got murdered right in front of her on a cold, dark night. That pushed her into the transformation. Although she doesn't use her powers, it left me the only one hadn't turned into super saiyan yet. So, I want to the one person I thought I could depend on. Trunks.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

One day, Pan came to me, asking me too help train her so she could become a super saiyan. As the friend I was to her, I accepted. This was something she really wanted to do. I've never seen her so serious about any thing before. So I couldn't turn her down.

Months past as we trained. We grew stronger, but still no result. But our muscles weren't the only things that grew. Something I had been ignoring for along time did as well.

PAN'S P.O.V

As the mouths past, the idea of becoming a super saiyan was slowly slipping out my mind. I felt my friendship bond with Trunks growing into something much more. The problem was, did he feel the same way? I still remember the day that changed it all, like it a scar that won't go away.

It was at of a training session. I was absolutely ran out of energy, and collapsed.

TRUNKS P.O.V

That day was pretty tough on Pan. She was so close to becoming a super saiyan. But then she ran out of energy and fell unconscious. Since my place was closest, I decided to take her there. When we got to my apartment, I laid Pan down on the sofa. Over an hour had past, and I just sat there next to her, looking at her all time. I didn't move from the seat I was sitting in. Some how, I just couldn't take my eyes off her. Aloud of things were running though my mind in that past hour.

'She looks so peaceful while she sleeps,' I thought to myself, 'I don't know what to feel anymore. I mean I do have feelings for Pan. But still my mind's saying, if I do go into a relationship with Pan, she'll end up getting hurt, I'll end up getting hurt and then our friendship will never be the same. Meanwhile my heart's saying, go on tell her how you feel. Finally I got up 'cause I needed to go to the toilet. When I came back I found the she had gone. Suddenly someone suck behind me and shouted.

PAN'S P.O.V

"Boo!" I shouted behind Trunks, making him jump. I had woke up a few seconds ago, and I thought it wound be amusing to scare Trunks.

"I suppose you think that's funny," he replied letting out a little laugh.

I nodded while still grinning. Like the son of a saiyan prince he is, he refused to admit I scared him. Just then, this freak storm that suddenly came from out of nowhere showed up. Trunks insisted that I didn't go home yet.

TRUNKS P.O.V

I was worried about pan catching a cold or something while flying home I the rain. So I told her to stay here for a while. Two hours had past and the storm still didn't stop. Pan and me opened a couple bottles of wine I had lying around from my trip to France. Suddenly, without thinking, my head lowered down and…

PAN'S P.O.V

...He kissed me. I couldn't believe it! This was Trunks kissing me, Pan. His father's rival's granddaughter. Also, might I add, his best friends niece. A few seconds later, he broke away the kiss and looked at me with his heart- warming eyes. I felt the love inside me blooming like a flower. I didn't realise that I was leaning forward to kiss him back until it actually happened. Before I could pull back, I felt Trunk's arms starting to wrap around my back. He then kissed me back.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

I couldn't help it; my strong emotions in my heart had concord the judgements in my head. And so the kiss contained. Until it turned into something much more.

NEXT MORNING

Pan and me woke up at the same time. But to our surprise we won't wearing anything!

"Aahh!" we both screamed, quickly turning the opposite direction from each other.

'Oh man, how could I let this happen!' I thought to myself. 'Why did I let my heart take control!'

PAN'S P.O.V

'Oh my god,' I thought 'I. I can't believe it. I can't even think straight. I have to get out of here to clear my head.'

"Trunks," I said still not facing him.

"Yeah Pan?" Trunks responded.

"I…I better go." I quickly got dressed and dashed out the window.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

I wanted to stop her, but what would I say? I couldn't think at that moment. 'Was it the right thing to do, or not?' I repeated over and over in my mind.

The battle between the heart and mind continued.

PAN'S P.O.V

I had to lye down, I was starting to get a headache from all the thinking I was doing.

'I like Trunks I really do. But did that night go to far?' I asked myself. 'Did it mean something?'

This was something I had to think very, very carefully about.

When two weeks had past from that night I finally came to dissuasion.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

After two weeks of avoiding each other, Pan finally came to see me. She had come to dissuasion, and yet I had not. I needed more time, but Pan wanted an answer. Pan then told me how she felt. She said she had fallen in love with me. Suddenly, whatever battle, which was going on between mind and heart, had ended. I told Pan that she was just a kid, and knew nothing of love yet. How I hate myself for saying that now.

PAN'S P.O.V

"Just a kid, JUST A KID!" I shouted at Trunks, "I'll show you who's just a kid!" I felt the anger running thorough my veins. My powers were increasing rapidly. I admit it was a pretty scary experience. Next thing I knew I was surround by a golden aura.

TRUNKS P.O.V

Pan's hair all stuck up and was blonde. Her eyes where no longer black either. Pan had finally turned super saiyan. And to think, it was because of what I said. That's when I realise much she loved me, and also I loved her back.

I stepped close to Pan to congratulate her for aching her goal. But Pan didn't want to hear it. She slapped me hard round the face.

"Don't you dare come near me again Trunks! Besides why would you want to hang out with a kid like me!" Pan yelled at me.

"Pan, wait," I said while rubbing my check where she'd slapped me. But she had already taken off. If I had gone after then, she would defiantly kill me. But what to do?

PAN'S P.O.V

When I reached my house, I entered through my bedroom window. I had changed back to my normal form while flying. I throw myself on the bed faced down, and that's where the tears continued to fall. I'd lost track of the number of hours that went by after that. When I settled down a bit, I reached under my bed, pulled out a black suitcase and started to pack my stuff into it.

"I can't stay here anymore. I can't stand to see him and just pretend nothing had happened. I just got to go, right now," I said to myself.

I'd decided to travel by aeroplane, 'cause if I flew myself, Trunks would sense me intently and might try to follow. When I arrived at the airport, I picked any country that a plane was going to that day at random and then I had to get my ticket. Lucky for me they had one more place left on the plane. The train that led up to the departure gate was going to arrive soon, so I had to hurry.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

I finally tracked down Pan's energy signal to the airport. I knew I just had to get hold of her and at least apologise to her. I didn't know what I was doing telling her that, it just slipped out. I do have feelings for Pan, but how to tell her? Anyway, the airport was a bit crowed that day. I looked and I looked for Pan. At first there was no site of Pan, then I spotted her walking over to one of the train station, which led to the departure gates. I was to court up in the crowed to reach her.

"PAN!" I shouted from the lungs. She came to a stop, but didn't turn a round.

PAN'S P.O.V

I heard Trunk's voice calling my name. It took all my power not to go running back into his arms. But I had to get away, I couldn't take anymore. I just didn't want to get hurt again. Suddenly the train I had been waiting for just pulled up

'This is it, it's time to go,' I thought. But yet again I heard Trunk's voice screaming behind me as I stepped onto the train.

'I will not go back, I will not go back, I will not go back,' I repeatedly thought with tears running down my cheeks. When the train doors where about to close, I turned around to see Trunks standing about a quarter of a mile away from me.

TRUNK'S P.O.V

When pan turned to face me, I could see the painful look I her eyes. I didn't want her to go.

"Pan wait!" I yelled.

As a final act, Pan smiled at me (not a smerk, a smile) and gave me a goodbye wave right before the train doors closed. I could only watch as the train moved anyway.

"Pan," I whispered.

PAN'S P.O.V

I gave a friendly goodbye wave to my friend I'll probably never see again. When the doors closed, I just had to except that my life was never going to be the same... how right I was.
