The Perfect Life – Chapter 5
Pan looked out onto her beautiful land. "Care for some celebration wine?" Pan smiled and looked up to Trunks. "Sure, why not. Need help?" Pan shook her head and headed out of the room.
Trunks just stood there gazing upon the ocean, which never freezes. "If only it wasn't the middle of winter, I would dive right in.'. He put his elbows on the railing of the balcony and rested his head in his hands. 'I have to be the luckiest guy in the word right now. I have the most beautiful girl as my fiancée, the perfect future, the perfect job.' Trunks spun around when Pan walked into the room carrying two long stem wine glasses and a long neck bottle of French wine. She handed trunks a glass and popped open the bottle. The cork flew off the balcony and splashed into the ocean. They both laughed. Pan poured them both some wine and put the bottle just inside the sliding door. "A toast! To whatever may come and our eternal future together." Trunks held his glass up and Pan toasted. "I'll toast to that!" They both sipped their wine, and continued to stare out at the water. "You know, its almost scary, I remember listing to Grandpa Goku tell me all the stories of past battles that happened before I was born. It seamed there was a problem almost every day. Now ever since the dark dragons have been defeated, it's been quite, almost too quiet." Pan took a sip of her wine and looked up at Trunks. Trunks finished his wine and leaned over the balcony railing. "You're right about one thing, it was been quiet. But I don't really think something is going to happen. "Knock on wood, but nothing can stop us Z fighters from living in this time of peace." Trunks smiled at Pan and she smiled back. That little bit of reassuring knowledge helped Pan. She was so worried something was going to happen. Something was going to ruin her happiness. But now that Trunks was there, by her side forever, she felt more secure.
While lost in their romantic little world, the phone started to ring. "Oh… excuse me." Pan ran to answer her bedside phone. Trunks followed Pan back inside the house. He closed the sliding door and took a seat on the bed. "Hello? Oh…Hi Bulma! Um… yes Trunks is here. Do you need to talk to him? Okay. What? Sure that would be great. Are my parents coming? Great! When? Six o'clock? Okay. Non-formal you said? See you then. Okay cool. Bye." Pan hung up the phone and laid down on her bed so her head was next to Trunks' lap. Your mom is inviting everyone over for a non-formal New Years party. Oh, and in the background, it sounded like Bra challenged your father to another game of PS2. I could hear her screaming that she was winning and he was denying it." Trunks laughed while he tried to picture his father sitting on the couch playing a video game without blowing it up. Pan rearranged her position so that her head was on Trunks' lap once again. "Trunks…" Pan opened her eyes and stared straight up into his. "Hmmm…" Trunks put his hand on her head and started to stroke her long black silky hair. "I love you." Pan then rolled onto one side and fell asleep on his lap. "I love you too, Pan-Chan." Trunks slowly leaned back and took a nap himself.
When he woke up, Pan was gone. So he sat up and tried to gather all his thoughts. The clock on the bedside table read five fifteen pm. He heard a door start to open and when he looked up he saw Pan emerge from the steamy bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head and her body. "Oh… Hello! Have a nice nap?" Pan was carrying her clothes in her hand as she walked across the room watching Trunks. He nodded his head and then fell back onto the bed. "Your bed is definitely comfy." Trunks said with a smile as he watched Pan disappears into the closet. "I know. I wanted a waterbed by my dad said that isn't the best kind of bed to have. It screws up my back. So I went for the ultra soft one." Pan emerged from her closet wearing denim bellbottoms and a teal oriental sleeveless top. "Trunks, could you give me a hand. I always have trouble with these tops. I just can't seam to get the buttons right." Trunks walked over to the closet, and when he got there it took him by surprise. Not only was it huge, but it also was a wrap around closet with the center housing a two mirrored shelf with draws for cosmetics and stuff. "Damn Pan-Chan!" Trunks walked into the closet while Pan went down the left side of the closet and came out the right carrying a pair of black heel boots. "Yes?" Pan looked at Trunks with a smile. "This thing is huge. Are you sure this is a closet and not part of Sears clothing department?" Only two thirds of the way was filled with clothing due to her only being a single small person. "Yep I'm sure. When Grandpa Hercule showed me the place with the realtor, the realtor said this was the closet." Pan hopped on one foot while she struggled to put her boots on. As she got the second boot on, she stumbled and fell into Trunks. "Ahh, falling for me now are you?" Trunks smirked and helped Pan stand back up. "Very funny Trunks. Can you help me now with my shirt?"
After Trunks helped Pan button her shirt, he took a shower in the guest room after Pan suggested it would be best just so he would be fresher at the party. Since he had to change his clothes, they decided to head over to Bulma's a little earlier then planned. On the way, Pan stopped at her parent's house to drop off her mother's outfit and jewelry. But instead of leaving right away, they were held up for a while. Gohan ended up talking to Trunks in the living room while Pan was rummaging through her mother's jewelry box again. Both her parents were very excited about the news of the engagement and wished them the best of luck on all the planning. When Pan and Videl came back down stairs from rummaging through jewelry, they headed off to the party. Pan had picked out a pair of sapphire star earrings and a simple silver bracelet. She had borrowed her mother' short white fur coat again which left Videl to wearing a heavy jacket like the night before. When they got to Bulma's, Trunks had Pan pull the car into the garage next to his car where it would be safe against the weather. When they got inside, Trunks headed upstairs to change into his jeans, black shirt, and Capsule Corp. jacket. At around six ten, Pan looked around for Bra but couldn't find her anywhere. So she decided to go look up in Bra's room. When she got there, she heard a noise coming from the other side of the door. After knocking twice, she entered slowly. "Bra? Bra is everything alright?"" Pan looked around the pink room and found her best friend sprawled out on the bed crying. "Bra? What's wrong? Talk to me." Pan took a seat on the bed next to her sobbing friend and helped Bra sit up. After drying her tears and calming down a little, Bra was able to tell Pan what was bothering her.
"Pan, remember my boyfriend Jack? The one I met when we went to collage in the states? Well he went home just before Christmas to visit his family for the holidays and he just called me saying that his ex-girlfriend has returned from her trip and wants to get back together. So of course he does. Now he broke up with me. So now I'm single, my best friends getting married to my brother, and my parents wont shut up about petty thing! Life's just not fair!" Pan grabbed a tissue and gave it to Bra to wipe her eyes. After comforting her friend for a good ten minutes, Pan decided it was time they needed to join the party. "Bra, come on. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Even better ones then Jack. Probably the one for you is right under your noise and you don't even know it. Look at me, how long have I known trunks and I had to of have about fifteen boyfriends and seventeen breakups. Then in the end, the boy meant for me was right there all along. The one who used to help comfort me after the breakups. So you see, all is not lost. Now what do you say you dry you tears and we go join that party? Huh?" Pan smiled and Bra nodded her head. One glace at Bra's clothes told Pan the break-up happened last night since Bra was still in her PJ's. "Let's see. How about you wear this out fit?" Pan pulled Bra's black bellbottoms and long sleeved red top, which had a fur trim on the collar and wrists. "Umm…okay. But the party is non-formal. Hell my mom's wearing jeans and a tee shirt." Pan looked at Bra and just smirked. "Girl! We need to dress formal!" Bra looked at Pan with a confused expression on her face as she started to get dressed. "It's time you and I partied like we did in high school and paint this town red! Come on Bra! Don't cry over your loss - celebrate! Praise Kami you got rid of Jake." Pan winked over at Bra as Bra was fixing her hair. "But I didn't dump him, he dumped –" Pan held her hand up to silence Bra. "Girl, don't tell yourself that the man got the better of you. In your mind, its always the way you want it and need it to be. So, he did not dump you…" Pan waved her hand forward as Bra smiled and finished the statement. "I dumped him" Bra smiled, relived that she had such a good friend. They walked out of the room laughing at Jake's stupid talents and traits like schoolgirls.
Vegeta stepped out of his room to see what why everyone was making so much noise. When he saw Bra laughing, it took him by shock. "Damn women! One minute their balling their eyes out over some guy, and the next their walking down the hall laughing and making crack jokes about the same guy! I'll never understand them and I'm married to one!" He stood there in his bedroom doorway with no shirt on and a towel around his neck watching his daughter and future daughter in-law walk laughing down the hall.

Well? I know. For a multiple chaptered DBZ fanfic, there isn't a lot of action. Give me while. I like writing romance stories as much as I like writing action. I'm just not that good at writing action. If ya'll could gimme a few pointers, there would be more action in almost all my stories. Stay tune for chappie 6!
