Pan was the first to wake up and she felt Trunks strong arms wrapped around her. She gently slipped out of his arms and she heard him moan. She look down and saw his eyes almost open she couldn't risk him waking up. She leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips he smiled and rolled back over to hug the pillow thinking it was Pea.
She sighed with relief as she saw him go back to bed. She slid her shoes back on then went over to him. "bye trunks." she whispered then flew out the door. "I have to hurry before my dad wakes up and realizes that I was out all night." she said flying towards her house.
Trunks Dream
"I love you." Trunks said to a woman with her back towards him.
"I love you too." she said. He put his hand on her shoulder and turned her around to see her face.
"What?" he said then he woke up.
"Pea?" he asked and looked around the cabin to find that she had left the cabin.
"Damn it." he whispered 'I didn't even get her address or phone number.' he thought as he got up. He cleaned up the cabin then flew back to the castle. When he got back to his bedroom he found his mother, father, Goten and Bra waiting in his room.
"Hi Guys" Trunks voice squeaked and scratched behind his head.
"DONT YOU HI ME, So... how was your date?" Bra asked all excited.
"What how did you guys know I had a date?" Trunks asked then looked at his dad and glared.
Vegeta shook his hand and said "It wasn't me!" Trunks deepened his glare but Bulma broke it when she said.
"Trunks, you must tell us all about your date!" Bulma said all excited.
"Yeah and judging by what time you got home something must have happened." Goten said and snickered.
Bra whacked him over the head "GOTEN behave yourself!" she hollered
"Sorry honey." Goten mumbled and was quiet. Trunks laughed at the show of affection the two displayed for each other.
"Alright guys be quiet and I will tell you." Trunks said and everyone got quiet. He explained to everyone how well his date with Pea and what happened on the date.
'Pea hmmm why does this all sound familiar?' Vegeta thought as Trunks spoke about her 'Could she be?' Vegeta thought.
"AWWWWW Trunks she sounds great so when will we all get to meet her?" Bra asked
"Yeah I want to see this babe." Goten said. Bra threatened him by raising her hand up.
"Of course she can't be more beautiful than you sweetheart." Goten said petrified of his wife. Bra brought her hand down and smiled at him.
"Bra its not like we are engaged it was just one date I don't think she is ready to meet the royal family just yet." Trunks said afraid how Pea would react.
"Well I think it would be a great idea if you invited her over dinner." Vegeta said wanting to see if his suspicions were right.
"I am not for sure father I mean she hasn't been around the royal family." Trunks said.
"I'm sure she will treat us like family." Vegeta said. And then he walked off,
"Trunks breakfast will be ready in a few minutes." Bulma said then followed her husband.
"See you at breakfast bro." Bra said and Goten waved.
'What did father mean by I'm sure she will treat us like family?' Trunks thought.
Pan had just slid in her window when she heard her fathers voice.
"Well Pea tell me how your date went?" He asked she jumped then turned around.
"Hi Dad." she said.
"Don't try to avoid the question I want all the details." he said and scowled.
Pan let out a little laugh then told him about them going out to dance, and then she told him about the cabin but promised nothing happened.
"So I take it you didn't tell him who you were." Gohan said.
"Umm well I haven't got to yet but I promise I will." she said.
"Whatever Pan get ready you have to be at work in one hour." Gohan said and left her room.
'I will tell him as soon as I see him again.' she thought then concentrated on getting ready for work
At Breakfast everyone talked and Bra and Bulma were already planning Trunks marriage to Pea.
"Now HOLD ON JUST ONE MINUTE!" Vegeta screamed and everyone got quiet and looked at him. "We haven't even met the girl and he has only been on one date so don't jump to any conclusions if she is smart she wont marry Trunks." Vegeta said.
"HEY!!!" Trunks hollered.
"Stop your whining Trunks I didn't mean it like that I just meant that she will have to go through a lot if she is dating you." Vegeta said.
Trunks mumbled something under his breath and continued eating his breakfast. After breakfast Trunks went up to his room and decided to call Pan after all he did owe her lunch.
"Ouch." Pan said she was trying to put on her work shoes. She had several blisters from the stupid things and if her job didn't pay such good money she would have quit by now. She finally managed to fit her feet in them and was walking out her door. She heard the phone ring and ran downstairs to answer the phone.
On the way down she twisted her ankle and fell the rest of the way down the stairs. Gohan came out of the kitchen when he heard all of the commotion he heard the phone ringing and he went to go answer it.
"Hello" Gohan said.
Pan could hear someone's voice mumble on the other end of the phone. "I don't she is able to answer the phone right now I will have her call you back later Trunks." Gohan said
"Wait Dad no!!" Pan screamed but was too late he had already hung up the phone. She scowled at him when he came over to look at her.
"Don't you give me that look!!!" he said then felt her ankle to see if anything was broken.
"I wonder what is wrong with Pan?" Trunks asked himself when he hung up the phone. "I guess this changes our plans for lunch." he said.
His thought then went to Pea. 'Hmm I wonder why she left me, Maybe she didn't have a good time or Maybe she doesn't like me or maybe.' Trunks was interrupted from his thoughts when Bra walked in his room.
"Hey Trunks Goten and I are going into town you want to come?" she asked.
"Wait Dad said you can go?" He asked 'Dad never lets any of us leave the castle without at least 20 body guards.' he thought.
"Well not exactly we are sneaking out." she said and gave him a Vegeta grin.
"Sure lets go." Trunks said and followed his sister and brother-in-law. They went through a passageway that led them under the castle and they ended up right in the middle of town. Bra climbed out first then Goten and last Trunks.
"Ok we have to be back at the castle at 1:00 p.m" Bra said. The boys nodded their heads and both were being dragged by Bra.
"Pan let me wrap it up." Gohan said
"No it is just fine." She said crossing her arms
"Well fine then lets see you walk on it." Gohan said
"OK then I will." she said and barely stood up before landing right back on her butt. She scowled and Gohan let out a chuckle.
"Now will you let me wrap it up." He asked.
"Fine." was all she said totally embarrassed that she couldn't walk on a stupid twisted ankle. Gohan wrapped it up and then carried her in the living room and sat her on the recliner.
"Now you need to put your foot up and keep ice on it. I am going to call your work and tell them you won't be able to come in for a couple of days." He said she nodded her head and grabbed for the remote. She flipped through the channels looking for some good cartoons to watch.
Trunks, Goten and Bra were all panting and hiding in the alley. "I think we lost them." Goten said looking just to make sure.
"Trunks you idiot I can't believe you forgot your disguise!" Bra yelled at him.
"Hey its not my fault I am the worlds most eligible bachelor." He whined Bra just scowled at him.
"Here I wanted to have some fun and you have to ruin it by just being you!!" Bra continued to yell. She was right he hardly ever got to go anywhere without being noticed and spotted by millions of saiyan women.
"Well fine." Trunks said then flew off.
"Trunks wait!" Bra screamed and was about to go after him when Goten stopped her.
"Bra just let him go." Goten said feeling sorry for Trunks.
"AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" Bra screamed extremely mad at Goten for stopping her. Goten backed down as Bra was about to bite his head off. He decided to take a chance 'here goes nothing.' he thought he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her in the middle of the alley.
Pan threw the remote at the TV and screamed "Stupid satellite." She had enough of staying cooped up inside the house plus she was starving she hadn't even had breakfast and it was almost time for lunch.
Gohan had went to work about an hour ago and he told her not to move that recliner. But she couldn't just stay here all day she was already bored and hungry. She put her good ankle on the floor first then slowly brought the one that wrapped down on the floor. She winced at the pain but she could bare it. After all she is a saiyan! She made her way upstairs and changed out of her work clothes and into something more comfortable.
She walked back downstairs and out the front door into town. She didn't know that a certain someone was also there.
'Maybe I should go back to the castle.' Trunks thought 'Father won't catch me as long as we are back for lunch.' he said to himself walking around town with his head down so no one could identify him as The prince.
He walked in to a store to purchase a scarf to put around his face only leaving his eyes covered and a hat to hide his purple locks. He looked in the store mirror and barely recognized himself. "This will do Thank you." he said and paid the man.
He stomach began to growl he looked down at it and said "Time for a snack."
He was headed to snack shop when a young girl bumped into him. She fell down on the floor and he held out his hand to help her up. "I'm sorry." he said then looked at her "Pan?" he asked.
Pan had left the house and went to the mall. She had taken her paycheck she got and went to cash at the bank mall. Then she went to the Alltel company she stayed in there for about 20 minutes and came out with a new cell phone. 'Now Trunks can call me.' she thought looking at it. 'Should I call him?' she asked herself.
"why not." she said and dialed Trunks number.
It rang 4 times then she got his answer machine "Hi This is Trunks Brief I can't come to the phone right now please your name and message after the beep thank you." he said and the answer machine beeped.
Pan left him a message as Pea then she hung up the phone. 'I wonder where he could be?' she asked herself. She walked out of the mall and went to go grab an ice cream cone when she bumped into a man and got knocked down.
The man offered to help her up and when she stood up he said "Pan"
"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked she did not recognize him at all.
He began to chuckle then he leaned in next to her ear and whispered "It's me Trunks." She backed up and looked surprised
"Trunks?" she asked and he nodded.
"Come and have an Ice cream with me and I will explain everything." he said. She nodded and followed him into the ice cream shop. Once they both had their ice creams they sat down at a booth and Trunks started to talk.
"You see Bra had this brilliant idea of going into town and she wanted to know if I wanted to come. Personally I thought I could use some fresh air so I agreed only I forgot my disguise and all these women young and old kept on chasing me. Goten, bra, and I finally lost them when we detoured in the alley but I was upset with Bra so I flew off and went to go buy another disguise. I was stopping to get me a snack before I headed back into the castle." He said.
"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" he asked her.
"Yeah but I twisted my ankle when I was running down the stairs and my dad told my work that I wasn't coming in today." she said.
"Oh well I called you to see if you wanted to have lunch with me today but your dad said." before Trunks finished Pan interrupted him
"Yes"
"You want to have lunch with me?" He asked again.
"Yes, where do you want to go?" she asked.
"Anywhere that you want to." he said wanting Pan to pick the restaurant.
"Hmmm how about Toy Wong's Japanese steakhouse." Pan suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Trunks said and rushed through the rest of his Ice Cream.
"OWWWW BRAIN FREEZE!" Trunks whined cause he ate his ice cream to fast. Pan laughed at Trunks holding his head.
"You know you shouldn't eat your ice cream so fast." she said.
"Don't rub it in!" he said and crossed his arms.
After Trunks got over his brain freeze they both went to the Japanese Steakhouse. "Hmmmm lets see I will have 2 of everything on the menu." Trunks said and handed him the menu.
"I will have the same." she said.
"Very well." the waiter said and took their menu's and left.
"So do you want me to go first or would you like to tell me what has been happening with you?" Trunks asked Pan.
"You can go first." she said she wanted to hear about him cause what she did was pretty boring.
"Ok then I'll go first." he said and began to tell her his story. She laughed when she heard about his bad experience with cooking and gave him weird looks when he brought up the planet of beautiful women. Then got grossed out when he said that they were men who had their privates cut off.
"Well sounds like you had quiet an adventure." she said.
"Yeah it was long and boring but I guess it was worth it." he said. "So what have you been up to?" he asked her.
Pan told him that her father sent her to earth to live with her grandpa Hercule and that she made several new friends. Then she told him all about Pen. Trunks was starting to get a little frustrated but cooled down when she told him that he had saved her (meaning Trunks not Pen). He was glad to know that she broke up with that jerk but still wasn't crazy about them being friends. He almost felt like crying when she had told him that her Grandpa Hercule had died.
"Then when I came back to Vegeta-sei I found a job at the restaurant and I have worked there ever since." she said.
"Whoa sounds like you had a good time on earth." he said.
"Hey Pan can I ask you something." Trunks asked her.
"Sure what is it?" she said.
"At your restaurant is there a waitress there named Pea?" he asked
'Oh dear God what do I say what do I say?' she thought and panicked. "Yeah why?" she asked.
"Well you see I went on a date with her last night and we seemed to have a good time but when I woke up this morning she was gone." he said.
"Trunks what exactly did you do?" Pan asked suspicious trying to act like she didn't know anything.
"PAN we didn't do that! I took her to a small cabin and we talked then we fell asleep." he said and blushed.
"Oh well then what is wrong?" she asked.
"Well Pan I really like this girl she is beautiful, smart, brave, fun to be around. But I just would like to know why she left. Do you think it is because she doesn't like me?" he asked worried.
"Trunks if this girl doesn't like you then she is an idiot. Listen I am sure she has a good explanation why she left and I'm sure she will tell you so don't get all worried about it." Pan said trying to comfort him. "
Thanks Pan. I know I've only met this girl but I think she could be the one." he said. Pan was eating some rice when he said that then she spit it out.
"What?" she asked.
"I think it might be to early to tell but I think I am falling in love with her." he said. 'Ok I have to tell him I wont lead him on like this if he is falling in love with Pea.' Pan thought.
"Trunks there is something I have to tell you." Pan said.
"Hmm what is it Pan?" he asked.
"Well you see I am." but before Pan could finish Vegeta came into the restaurant and walked over to there table.
"Kakarotto's brat have you seen my son?" he asked Pan.
Trunks shook his head nervously at her and she said "No sorry Vegeta I haven't"
"Funny I can sense his Ki but I don't see him anywhere. Who is this?" He asked pointing to Trunks in disguise.
"This is my friend from work T-bone." she said.
Trunks slapped his head 'T-bone!' he thought and sweat dropped from his forehead.
"Well if you see him tell him that he better get his half saiyan but back to the castle immediately." Vegeta said then walked out the door.
"Whew that was close." Pan said.
"t-bone" Trunks said. Pan laughed nervously
"Sorry about that Trunks it was the only name I could come up with." she said.
"That's ok look Pan I have to get back to the castle here is the money for the tab." he said and handed her a bag full of gold.
"Wait Trunks" Pan called out but he already left. 'This is way to much money.' she thought and looked at it.
She wasn't able to finish her food she felt horrible that she wasn't able to tell him that she was Pea. 'I didn't think he would fall in love with Pea.' she thought as she limped back home. "I will have to tell him soon before I break his heart." she said.
She walked back to her lonely house and turned the TV back on. She channel surfed for about an hour till her favorite show Rurouni Kenshin came on. "Just what I need to get me in a better mood." She thought and watched the show.
Trunks dropped his disguise and flew towards the castle. He slid in his window and thought he was home free when.
"Where have you been?" his mother asked she was sitting at the edge of his bed.
"Umm I went into town." he said.
"Now Trunks if you tell me the truth I can get you off the hook with your father." she said.
"Ok I ran into Pan and we had lunch together. I had promised to have dinner but then I was supposed to have a date with pea so I broke off my dinner date with Pan but I made it up to her by having lunch with her today." he said.
"Ok well I will tell your father that you were having lunch with Pan and left a note." she said "how does that sound?" she asked him.
"Great thank you mom." he said and hugged her.
"Your welcome Trunks." She said and smiled at him. "I think I will go find Vegeta now." she said and walked out the door.
"Whew saved by mom." he said and then looked at his phone. The red button for the answer machine was blinking. "Hmmm I wonder who called?" he asked and pushed the button.
"You have 1 new message." the answering machine said then beeped.
"Hi Trunks this is Pea I was calling to explain something to you but I guess your not home right now. When you get home could you please call me my number is 423-8501. Bye." she said then the answering machine beeped. "end of messages." it said then went off.
"423-8501." Trunks said as he dialed Pea's number.
The phone rang twice and then Pan answered it "Hello" she said.
"Pea?" he asked
"Hey Trunks!" Pan said she was happy that he called her she was starting to get bored again.
"What did you want to explain to me?" He asked he already had an idea of what it was she wanted to explain but wasn't for sure.
"Oh yeah I wanted to tell you why I had to leave this morning." she said.
"Ok." he said wanting her to go on. 'Shoot I have got to give a good excuse.' Pan thought. "I had to open the restaurant this morning and I had to be there by 7;00 a.m." she said praying that Trunks would buy it.
"Oh I thought it was because you didn't have a good time." he said.
"No I have a great time with you." Pan said.
"I had a great time with you too Pea. Do you want to go out on another date?" he asked her.
"Yeah sure but I will have to check my work schedule before I set another day." she said.
"That's alright you can call me when you have a day or an afternoon off." he said.
"Great how about I call work right now?" She asked.
"ok." he said. he really didn't want her to get off the phone but he wanted to know when the next time he could take her out on a date.
"All right Trunks I will call you right back." Pan told him.
"All right Pea bye." he said.
"Bye Trunks." She said and hung up the phone.
Pan called her boss down at work and asked which day she had off this week.
"Hmmm lets see today is Sunday you have Tuesday and Friday off this week." her boss told her over the phone.
'Tuesday and Friday.' she said to herself remembering those days. "Thank you goodbye." she said and hung up the phone.
