"Yeah I know Pea also works here." Trunks said and started to walk in to the restaurant.
"Really" Goten said suspiciously in his mind he was beginning to piece it all together. Trunks and Goten casually walk in with their heads slightly down afraid to be noticed as royalty. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Pan. He nugged Goten and motioned for him to follow him over to Pan. 'Maybe Pan will know where Pea is.' Trunks thought as he walked closer to Pan.
Pan was finished take a young couples order and was heading towards the kitchen when felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Startled she jumped and turned around she was so shocked her jaw dropped open when she saw him. "T-trrunks" Pan said uneasy. "Wh-hat are y-ou doing here?" she asked nervously. 'Please don't ask for Pea, Please don't ask for Pea.' she said to herself.
"Is Pea here?" he asked and her heart began to beat faster and faster.
"Y-yeah why don't you two have a seat and I'll go get her." Pan said hoping that would buy her time to get a little bit ready.
"Ok come on Goten." Trunks said and they went to go sit down in a booth in the corner.
"Oh god what am I going to do?" She asked herself as she went into the kitchen.
Luckily her friend Millie was working today and she said that she would cover for Pan for 15 minutes and let Pan use her make-up. Pan darted into the bathroom put on her make up took her hair out of her ponytail and ran her fingers through it.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror and frowned. "I'm going to get caught." she told herself and sighed. She feared the worst was yet to come. She unlocked the door her stomach churning as she made her way to go see Trunks.
Trunks looked down at his wrist watch again only two minutes had passed. "Where is she?" he asked and he looked up from his watch to look at Goten.
"Relax Trunks its only been 2 minutes." Goten said. Trunks looked around the restaurant trying to see if he could spot her anywhere.
"There she is." Trunks said excited and pointed to Pan who just stepped out of the bathroom
'Pan' Goten said to himself as he studied the girl Trunks called Pea. Trunks waved his hands frantically to get her attention.
Pan saw him and gave him a big grin 'What have I gotten myself into?' she asked herself as she got closer to the booth.
"Hi Trunks Pan told me that you wanted to see me." Pan said trying to make things seem less awkward for her. Trunks slid over to the right in the booth and made enough room for Pan to sit down beside him. She sat down and he looked her straight in the eyes.
"Yeah, I have some bad news." he said.
"What?" she asked trying to sound worried about the situation.
"Take a look." he said and handed her the paper. She looked at it then her mouth dropped open.
"Oh Trunks I am so sorry about all of this. I didn't want to embarrass you. I understand if you don't want to go out anywhere else with me. she said and her eyes got watery.
"No, no, Pea I don't want that." he said and hugged her shoulders pulling her closer to him.
"I don't think Vegeta was that upset." Goten commented to get a laugh from everybody and to cheer Pea up.
"Thanks Goten." she said sarcastically towards him. Trunks and Goten looked at her surprised and shocked. "
How do you know Goten?" Trunks asked and Goten examined her closely.
"Well I read about his marriage to Bra and saw the wedding pictures from their royal weeding." Pan lied. Trunks nodded not really interested in that anymore.
"Oh" Goten said and gave her a confused look because his wedding pictures to Bra were never made public in the newspaper or anywhere else.
"So what are we going to do about our date tomorrow?" Pan asked quickly changing the subject suspecting that Goten might be on to her.
"Well since the theme this year is Medeival Costumes we should be fine but just in case we should disguise ourselves a little more." he said "
All right that sounds like a good idea." Pan said and looked towards the kitchen door where her friend Millie was waving for her to come back.
"I'll talk to you about it more later I have to get back to work.'' she said and stood up from the booth. Trunks was about to stand up but Pan leaned down and quickly gave him a kiss on the lips stopping him in midair. He slowly sat back down and a big grin spread upon his face and Goten noticed that look of love in his eyes.
"Bye." she said and waved to both of them then left.
Trunks turned to face Goten and asked "Well what do you think?'
"She seems great Trunks. I can tell that she really likes you" Goten said. T
runks smiled and said "I do feel very lucky. Are you ready to go?" He asked Goten.
"Go on ahead without me I have to ask Pan something." Goten said.
"All right see you back at the castle then." Trunks said and left the restaurant.
Goten snuck around the restaurant he had a good idea that Pea was really his niece and he was just about to prove it. Pan swung open the kitchen doors carrying a tray with two plates of food on it in her right hand.
"Pea it was really nice meeting you." Goten said and Pan jumped up a little, she turned around relieved to see her uncle.
"The pleasure was all mine." she said and bowed her head. "Now if you'll please excuse me I-"
"One question. Why are you wearing my nieces nametag? Isn't she here also and wouldn't she need it?" he asked.
Pan looked down and sure enough her nametag was back on. 'Busted' she thought. "Look Goten I'll explain it to you after I deliver this order ok." she said.
"All right." he said and left to go sit down at a empty table and waited for Pan to come over to explain everything.
Once she gave the Saiyans their orders she walked over to the table where Goten was sitting and sat down across from him.
"Before I explain anything you must promise me that you won't tell anyone especially not Trunks.' she said.
He nodded and said "I promise."
"Ok well." she began telling him the whole story.
"Pan are you nuts!" Goten said a little bit to loudly.
"No Goten its just-"
"Look Pan you have to tell him what's going on before he gets his heart broken and gets upset with you." he said.
"Goten your not listening to me your starting to sound like my father." she protested.
"Pan please listen to me you don't understand the seriousness of the situation of the situation." he said quieter.
"No Goten you dont understand how serious my love is." she countered.
Goten's face softened he realized that he was starting to sound like his older brother.
He sighed "Pan just please be careful." He warned and she smiled at him. "
I will and remember you promised."
"I promise I won't say word." He said. She leaned across the table and gave him a hug.
"Thanks." she whispered and he hugged her back then she pulled away. "I have to get back to work or else I'll get fired."
Pan said and left the table. Goten waved goodbye to her and smiled. 'It seems that Pan finally got what she wanted, Trunks.' he thought as he walked out of the restaurant.
He looked down at his watch "Shoot I've been here for almost 30 minutes Bra's going to be furious." he said. The thought of Bra yelling and chasing him around the castle ran through his mind. He quickly flew home hoping Bra wouldn't be too upset.
When Trunks got home his father was occupied with reading and signing important documents. Trunks saw this as an opportunity and went to go find his mother. She was in the covered gardens smelling all the flowers they had acquired from many planets but he found that his mothers favorite flowers were the one's from earth. He coughed to announce his presence so that he wouldn't startle his mother. She turned around and gave him a smile.
"Trunks what brings you in here?" Bulma asked her son.
"Well you know that the Saiyan annual fair starts tomorrow and I am going to need a better costume because I am going to take a date." he said.
"Could your date be the mysterious Pea?" Bulma asked. He blushed then nodded his head yes and Bulma smiled. "Come on lets go make you a better costume." she said
"Thanks mom." he said and began to follow her when they heard Bra scream.
"GOTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Bra wait please let me explain." They heard the terror in the Goten's voice.
"Maybe we should avoid Bra for a while." he said cautiosly making Bulma laugh.
"She is too much like your father." Bulma said.
Trunks let out a chuckle hearing poor Goten. 'And Goten's just like Goku.' he thought.
