Friendship, Anger, & Love

Chapter 1: Friendship and Anger

A/N: Sorry this one is so short! I just couldn't think of any thing else to say for Friendship and Anger! I promise, though... They'll get longer!

Pan glanced across the table as she saw Trunks playfully smiling. 'How could he be smiling? We're not going to see him for four years, does he think it is funny or something?' She walked out through the sliding glass door and looked at the empty pool. She thought about all the fun they had: swimming, water fights, diving… and that time he almost killed her… those were the good old days… not that she was old or anything… She was fifteen, her hair tied up in an orange bandana with her usual getup on. She sighed… it would be a long four years without her best friend.

She heard a voice coming from behind her. It was Trunks. "Hey Pan, thinking about last summer?" He cocked his head to the side and held a familiar smirk on his face.

"Mmm… yeah… remember when we had that water fight?" She looked over the water and then back at him.

"Hell, yeah!" He re-enacted a throw of a water balloon that nearly knocked Pan out. He laughed.

"I'm going to miss you…" She took three steps closer to where he was standing.

"Same here…" He embraced her into a hug. "Best friends forever, right?"

Pan nodded and felt the warmth of Trunks' body around hers.

Bulma walked out from inside. "Okay, you lovers… let's break it up, Kay?"

Pan hit her arm lightly. "Bulma!"

"Sorry… don't shoot!" she raised her hands up in the air in mock fear. "But, seriously, you two do look cute together.

"But their ages are way, way off!" Chi-Chi said interrupting.

"Yeah, and Trunks is too much of a friend to me…" Gohan said.

"Yeah, also, Trunks is too cool for her!" Goten said, crossing his arms across his chest while displaying the famous Son grin.

"No, Pan is way too hot for him!" Bra wrapped her arms around the young girl and stuck out her tongue at Goten.

"Well, you're too good for him…" Pan pointed at the two of them: secret exposed, they were going out….

Bra blushed, as did Goten. Everybody laughed at this idea insanely, but Pan was too depressed to do more than smile.

Trunks loaded his car down with the final bags. "Oh, I forgot my camera!" Bulma ran frantically inside the house, leaving just Pan and Trunks alone."

"Well, bye, Panny…" he slammed the trunk.

"Mmm…. Bye Trunks…" She felt a tear stat to come to her eye, but wiped it away before it was noticeable.

"Pan…?"

"What?"

"I love you."

"Well, I love you too…"

"No, seriously, I love you…"

Pan winced. 'But we are friends… we are not supposed to be like that! He's ruining everything!'

Trunks leaned in and kissed her lips. Pan pushed him away. "You bastard! How could you do that!" Bulma walked out just as she finished saying this and stormed off.

"What the hell?" Trunks muttered as she flew away.

Bulma took a picture of Trunks, confused, in front of his car.

"Bye, Mom…" He said, leaving for four years.
