Tell me babe how many do I shed my tears?

19-year-old Pan let the hot water warm her body. It's hard for me to believe that, now, the only way to feel that warmth is like this…Training was starting in a few minutes. With Trunks." Pan! Hurry up!" Her mother's voice scattered her thoughts. "Coming!"

She turned off the water, dried herself and got out. Then she put on her training uniform and headed to the training room where Trunks was waiting. She avoided his beautiful blue eyes and said, "Okay, let's go." Instead of starting to spar, the handsome lilac-haired 24yr-old walked up to her." Something wrong? Panny… Tell me…"

"Nothing's wrong." Was all he got as a reply. He raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, only to have Pan slap the hand away. "Tell me"

"Fine, I quit." How could you Maron?Why did you take him away from me? Even after I told you that I had strong feelings for him… Why? "No, Pan! Why?" She ignored his question. "Someday you'll know." She turned and flew out, leaving her mentor speechless. Father will make me return… But I won't go! I can't bear being so near Trunks when I know that I can't have him… "You quit huh?" Pan froze at Vegeta's harsh voice.She didn't turn to face him. " I'm sorry… But I just can't…"

"You can't what? I know that no one else has realized it but I know, that you have been avoiding my son ever since he began dating that half-android and half-trash Maron." Vegeta continued. " I can see that you don't eat as much and that your hiding within yourself more than ever. Pan, you may think that you can hide your emotions but I see right through you. Your family is a bunch of imbeciles to not have noticed"

"Then you know…" She fell to the ground. " I don't care if he's my son, he's an absolute idiot if he can't see through her tricks."

"Trunks isn't worth this kind of pain… No one is…"

He went on. " Pan, Gohan and Videl are lucky to have you… sometimes I … wish… that you were… my own …"

Pan gasped "Vegeta… that's the nicest thing that anyone… other that Goten and Trunks… has ever said to me…"

"Well, it's the nicest thing that I've ever told anyone." Vegeta admitted. Then became his old self again. " Now, Pan, you need a new mentor right?" He asked.

" I guess…"

"Then let's go." He pulled her up and then the mentor and his new student headed to the woods to train. At least Father can't make me see Trunks anymore…but then why do I feel this emptiness I feel? Why am I still so lonely?

Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness…
