Chapter 3

They went from shop to shop buying anything Mirai Trunks could possibly need. Now it was time for clothes. They went into the first shop and started looking around. "So what do you like to wear?"

"I don't really know, I didn't have much of a choice growing up, just the CC clothes."

"Well, why don't you just start trying things on and figure out what you like."

"Ok, sounds good. Where do we start?"

Pan walked over to a rack full of muscle shirts, "Do you think you would like these?"

"I can try." He walked over and looked at all the colors, "What color do you think I should try?"

Pan smiled, since they had been shopping she noticed that Mirai Trunks was started to loosen up around her and she liked it. He was a really sweet man, like nobody she had ever met before. She looked through the rack of shirts and pulled out a black muscle shirt and handed it to him, "How about this one?"

He looked at it and smiled, "Looks good. Where do I go to try it on?" Pan nearly melted when he smiled, his smile was so much more sweeter then the present Trunks.

"Umm…the dressing room is over there." Pan pointed to a booth in the corner.

Trunks smiled again, he was really starting to like Pan, she was really sweet, and she was really nice to him. He had never really been around a lot of girls before and was really shy around anyone he wasn't used to. He snapped his thoughts back, "Let's go see how it fits then." They walked over to the dressing room and Trunks walked inside. When he walked out Pan had to stop herself from drooling. "So, how's it look?"

Pan recomposed herself, "It looks great!"

"Good, I like it. Do you think I should get a couple different colors?"

"Definitely, they look really good."

Trunks blushed. "Ok, what other shirts should I get?"

Pan looked around. "Umm….what about t-shirts, lets go look at them, then tank tops."

Trunks laughed at her enthusiasm, "Ok, let's go."

After they picked out MANY shirts and several pairs of different kinds of jeans, they got a couple of tuxes. They were walking out of the last store when all of a sudden Trunks stomach growled. Pan laughed at him and he blushed, "Hungry?"

Trunks grinned, "A little."

"How about we go get pizza at the snack bar?"

"Sure, sounds good to me." They were on they're way to the snack bar when they heard a very familiar voice.

"Hey what are you two doing here?"

"Trunks, you know good and well that I brought Mirai Trunks here to get his things." Pan was surprised to say the least to see Trunks standing before her and Mirai Trunks, it was like he wasfollowing them. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Well, I was just bringing Amy," he motioned to the American model behind him, "to pick out anything she wants in the mall."

"That's cool, well, we're going to go get some pizza, I guess we'll see you tonight."

"That convenient, we were just heading to get pizza to."

Amy looked at him, "We were?"

He laughed nervously, "Of course we were. Why don't we join you?"

Pan looked at Mirai Trunks who hadn't said anything the whole time, he looked kind of uncomfortable, "Umm….I think we might wait until we get home instead. I'm tired."

"Whatever, come on Amy." Trunks walked off, Amy following like a puppy wanting to be petted.

Mirai Trunks looked at Pan, "What was that about?"

"I have no clue. He knew we would be here, it was like he was checking up on us."

"Why?"

Pan looked up at Trunks, he looked so cute when he was confused. "I don't know, he's been acting weird lately anyway, maybe personal problems."

"Whatever it is I hope he's ok."

"I wouldn't worry about him, Mirai Trunks. Mirai Trunks, that's too long, is there anything else I could call you?"

"Well, my mom used to call me Toran, I guess you could call me that."

Pan smiled, "Ok, Toran.Let's go."

"But I'm hungry."

Pan laughed at the whining Mirai Trunks, "I promise I'll fix you something when we get back to CC, ok?"

Mirai Trunks smiled, "Ok."

They pulled into CC and brought all of the clothes and other stuff inside. They walked in and Bulma was on her way out to the lab, she asked Pan to show him to a guest room. It took both of them to carry the things they got up the stairs to the room.

"So, where's my food."

Pan laughed, "I'll go fix you something, what do you want?"

"FOOD!"

Pan laughed at him again, "I'll be back in a minute, why don't you change and start putting your things up and I'll help when I get back?"

"Ok, thanks."

"No problem."

While Pan was gone Trunks changed into a pair of blue jeans and the black muscle shirt he first tried on. He had just started putting his stuff away when Trunks came up the stairs and knocked on the door. Mirai Trunks walked over and opened the door smiling thinking it was Pan, but he was surprised when it was Trunks.

"Hi. Umm….can I help you?"

Trunks looked Mirai Trunks over, "What do you think your doing with Pan?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know good and well what I'm talking about. You go to the mall together, come home and she fixes you something to eat. She never cooks for me or anyone else except herself unless it's for everybody."

"What are you getting at, we're only friends."

"Just remember, stay away she's MINE!"

By now Mirai Trunks was starting to get mad, "Look buddy, I don't really know what is going on between you and Pan, but I do know that I have nothing buy a friendship with her. I'm sorry if you can't handle that."

Trunks stepped up and took a swing at Mirai Trunks, which he easily dodged. Mirai Trunks was stunned, he didn't know what in the world was going on with Trunks, but he did know that he was totally out of control. Trunks swung at Mirai Trunks again and this time made contact. Mirai Trunks flew across the bed into the wall. He was upset now and caught Trunks off guard with a kick to the head, causing blood to trickle into his eyes.

"Why don't you just leave, nobody really wants you here."

The words stung Mirai Trunks more than he wanted Trunks to know. Trunks stood up and walked out. As he started down the stairs Pan was coming up. "Trunks, what happened?"

"Your little friend down the hall."

"Mirai Trunks?"

"Who else, the man is psycho."

"What are you talking about?"

"I walked in and the man just jumped me. I just wanted to see if he was getting settled in."

Pan looked very confused. She was wondering why the sweet man she was with earlier would attack his counterpart.

"Well, Pan, I'm going to go get cleaned up. See you later." And with that Trunks walked down the hall with a satisfied smirk on his face.

When Pan walked in Mirai Trunks' room he was lying on his bed. He looked to be asleep so she walked over and sat on the side on the bed.

"Hey."

Pan jumped, "I thought you were asleep."

Mirai Trunks gave a half hearted smile, "No, just thinking." Pan offered him the food, which he took willingly. "Thanks."

"No problem." She watched him eat and noticed that he was off in lala land so she assumed he was still thinking. They set there like that a second before Pan couldn't take it anymore. "Toran, did Trunks come up here?"

Mirai Trunks tensed and Pan noticed this, "Yeah."

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"Toran, please don't lie to me. Just from what I learned of you today I can tell something happened since I left."

Mirai Trunks sighed, "Trunks came in here and accused me of liking you. I told him we were just friends and he punched at me, so I kicked him and he left."

Pan was confused. She looked at Mirai Trunks' face and could tell that he was telling the truth, but she wondered why Trunks would even care ifMirai Trunks likedher.It was none of his business anyways.

They both sat in thought for a minute before Mirai Trunks decided to break it, "This is really good."

"Thank you, I'm glad that you like it." She smiled at him, she had been doing that a lot today just to see him blush, he was cute when heblushed."Did you get everything put away?"

"Yeah, I think so. It was a lot of stuff."

"Your telling me." They stared at each other a moment, "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Umm….I don't know yet. Why?"

"Do you want to train with me tomorrow?"

Trunks smiled, "Sure!"

"Ok. Well, it's getting late so I think I'll just call my mom and tell her I'm staying here tonight. My room's across the hall if you need me."

"You have your own room?"

"Yeah, I stay here so much that Bulma gave me one of the guest rooms to fix and put all my stuff in."

"That's cool."

"Yep!" Pan walked over to the door and turned around to look at Mirai Trunks, "Don't let Trunks intimidate you. I don't know what's wrong with him, but just ignore it. Night Toran."

Mirai Trunks smiled, "Night Pan."

Well, that was some longer, but still probably longer to come. R&R
