"Well being famous saved you tonight."
"How?" Trunks asked giving her a confused look.
"From embarrassment that apple guy was just about to announce that I won." She said then crossed her arms in a fake pout.
"Pea you are something else."
He then looked her straight in the eyes. 'Or someone else?' he thought as he found himself drowning in her soft eyes.
"Trunks" Pan whispered and leaned in closer to kiss him.
"Pan" he let the name slip out of his mouth like soap.
Pan looked like a deer caught in headlights when he said her name, she began to frantically stutter. "W-h-who t-t-o-told H-h-ho-how"
Trunks immediately snapped out of his trance and apologized to her. "I'm sorry Pea it's just that you reminded me of my good friend Pan."
"That's ok" Pan began to smile 'He's thinking of me.' She thought.
"Sorry for my interruption now where were we?" Trunks asked giving Pan a sly grin.
"I think I remember." Pan leaned over to kiss Trunks. He returned her kiss by deepening leaving them both breathless.
Both of them pulled away from the kiss feeling like their hearts were about to explode. "I haven't felt like that in...forever" she sighed making him smile.
"Pea remember what I told you about love at first sight?" Pan blushed at his question and smiled there was no way she could forget it was such beautiful poetry.
"Yes." She said and nuzzled closely to him.
"I meant to say that I've fallen in love with you." He gently kissed the top of her forehead.
"I thought I was in love with someone once so how are you so sure?" Pan asked being skeptical.
"I know this is going to sound crazy but every time around you I feel like I've known you my entire life and I can't picture the future without you in it."
"Trunks are you sure about this because I ..."
"Yes Pea I'm sure" he interrupted her and kissed her.
After the kiss he felt little hazy and when he looked back at her and he blinked twice and her name slip out again. "Pan?"
Pan's heartbeat went faster and faster as she was about to say the 'I can explain line again but Trunks quickly snapped out of it and pushed the thoughts away again.
"Pea I'm sorry for some reason you keep reminding me of my first Pan."
"You haven't talked much about her. Why don't you tell me about her, I do want to hear more about your family and friends."
"Well that's because I..." he then went quiet.
"Why?" she asked again.
"Well there's so much about her though, she is a very special girl. Whenever her mom died when she was 4 she moved to Vegeta with her father. She visited earth when she was 14 a couple of days after I left."
"Where did you go?" Pan asked.
"All over the universe I saw a lot of amazing and strange things."
"But why did you go on the space mission?"
"My dad wanted me to go but I stayed out in space for so long because of Pan. I couldn't get her off my mind I thought I loved her."
Shock was plastered all over Pan's face. "What happened? Why don't you...It's because of me isn't it?" Pan asked.
"Don't feel bad about it Pea if wouldn't have worked out anyway."
"Why not?" Pan asked harshly. She felt a horrible hurt and angry at the same time.
"Our difference in age was a major factor, but she is just so perfect she deserves someone better than me, she deserves more."
"But Trunks what if she wanted you, what if she loves only you?"
"She did, when I was leaving on my space mission she threw a poem telling me that she loved me."
"What happen to it? Do you still have it?"
"I kept it in my training uniform and read it every night. When I came home I put it in the back of a picture frame that has a picture of us in it."
"If you loved her and you knew she felt the same way then why didn't you tell her?"
"I was going to, that day I came to restaurant I was with her father I just got back from my mission and reread the poem for the hundredth time. I was going to tell her when I heard a crash and saw you needed help and my mind went blank at the sight of you. "
Feeling confident and eased by what she heard Pan was now ready to tell Trunks the truth. "Trunks there's something I need to tell you."
"BAM BAM POP POP CRACK!" Red, yellow, blue, and green fireworks began to fly into the sky as the Ferris wheel stopped in midair. Trunks tightened his grip around Pea's shoulders and leaned his head on top of hers.
Pan watched the fireworks light up the sky with there beautiful colors but wasn't' able to enjoy them. 'If only I had been myself Trunks wouldn't be holding a lie.' She thought as a tear slipped down her cheek. The Ferris wheel began to roll again as another tear rolled down Pan's face. 'I should have listened to my dad, Bra and Goten. I'm so stupid.'
Trunks felt the wet tears stain his shirt and he lifted Pan's head up. "Is there something wrong Pea?"
"Trunks can I ask you something?" "Absolutely what is it?" he asked concerned that she was crying on their date.
"Would you do anything for the one you love?" Pan asked him.
"I would do everything in my power for her."
"But what if the one you love didn't return you love so in order to gain it you pretended to be someone else, deceived them to love you and found out that they were in love with you all along." Pan was left breathless confessing everything she had done. 'Certainly he has figured me out now.' She thought.
Trunks chuckled a little then asked her. "Where did you come up with that scenario?" "Trunks can you please just answer my question."
"Well once I found out how they really felt about me I would tell them what I did and would hope that they would be understanding and forgive me. I know that if the roles were reversed I would be upset if someone I loved deceived me. Love is all about trust and if there is none then that's not real love Pea."
Pan softly sighed hurt by Trunks truthful response. "Would you ever forgive them?" Pan whispered.
"I- I don't know I hope that it would never come to that. Pea I want the one I love to be completely honest with me." He told her as he looked into her eyes. She gulped and was going to try and tell him again when the Ferris wheel stopped on the ground and they had to get off.
Trunks escorted Pan away from the Ferris wheel and over to the carnival games. "You know I haven't won you anything. Men are supposed to do that on a date you know." He said and gave her a big grin. Pan politely smiled trying not to show how she was really feeling.
Trunks was excellent at everything he did Pan thought except for carnival games. "AHHHHHH!" he screamed and almost powered up to Super Saiyan. Pan placed her hand on Trunks arm.
"It's all right Trunks just calm down." She whispered. He couldn't calm down very easy though that was his 10th try at his 11th game and he still had no stuffed animal for Pan.
The guy at the milk can carnival games face went pale seeing how angry Trunks looked and gulped. "H-h-here you can try one more time on me?" He said giving Trunks a meek petrified smile.
Trunks took the softball and finally(with the help from the operators) knocked over the milk cans.
"Pea PEA I Got it!" Trunks shouted while jumping up and down. He was smiling from ear to ear holding up the medium size stuffed dogs.
"You know what Trunks why don't you keep it" Pan said, the sight of seeing Trunks so happy and proud was the greatest gift for her.
"Really?" He asked her. Part of Trunks wanted to keep the fluffy thing as a trophy but he really should give it to Pan.
"Yeah I don't need a stuffed animal to remind me of this moment." She said and grinned. Trunks smiled back at her then looked at his prize.
"What do you think we should name him?" he asked and turned the dogs face towards Pan.
The name she thought of just slipped out of her mouth. "Goku" There was a minute of silence before Trunks spoke again.
"He does look like a Goku." Trunks said then looked at the dog again.
Pan finally breathed 'I can't believe I just said that.'
"So what do you want to do next" Trunks asked her.
"We could play more carnival games." She suggested, but got a 'I don't think so' glare from Trunks. "Or not...How about we some cotton candy before we decide."
Trunks nodded in agreement and they went to find a vender. "Two cotton candy's please." When they got the cotton candy they walked over to a bench and sat down.
"Trunks did you really mean what you said up in the Ferris wheel?" Pan asked as she peeled off a piece of her cotton candy.
"I meant everything I said up there."
"Do you really believe that you fell in and out of love so quickly?" she asked him.
"I know that what I have and feel with you is love. I also felt that with Pan."
Pan began to get teary-eyed again. "Why do you love me?" she asked lowering her head to the ground ashamed that she even asked that question.
Trunks used his index finger to lift her chin up and he stared into her eyes as he spoke. "You compliment me Pea, we're the opposite and the same at the same time. That feeling you get that you can't put into words that is what I feel when I'm around you."
"But what if I was younger like Pan, would you hide your feelings from me?"
"No Pea feelings like this can't be determined just by age." Trunks said then listened to himself. 'But isn't that what I did to Pan?' he asked himself.
"Pea I have something to ask you." She looked at him her stomach tumbling waiting for the question afraid that he had figured out her secret.
"Pea this last week has been full of emotions, decisions, and feelings I have never felt in my life. There is also a chance that I might have to leave for war soon. Before that happens I want to know that I have someone to come back too. Someone who will welcome me with open loving arms. Who will cry and say that they missed me." Trunks then paused trying to stop himself from crying.
"I want a love that I willing to die and fight for, That love, that someone I want is you Pea. This might seem sudden for some people but I think it's perfect." He stood up from the bench and kneeled down. "Pea will you m-" Before Trunks could finish his father landed right beside them.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Vegeta asked and looked down at his kneeling son.
"No not at all." Trunks lied and gritted his teeth while he stood up.
"Good Trunks we need to leave immediately." Vegeta then turned to Pan and said "Pea you are welcome to join us for dinner tomorrow night Trunks can finish his important question then." Vegeta offered.
"Oh well I don't know if I'll be able to attend."
"Please I insist." Vegeta said strongly making it more of a command then an offer.
"I'll definaltley try." Pan said and bowed her head to the king.
"Come on the Trunks lets go. See you tomorrow night Pea." Vegeta said and flew off.
Trunks went over to Pan and gave her a kiss. "Sorry about this I hope to see you tomorrow night as well." He said and flew off waving one more goodbye.
