Disclaimer: No I don't own anything except the storyline so yeah..
A/N: Thanks for the reviews everybody. Makes my day. Anyways enjoy I got nothing more to say.
The sunlight shone through the windows and awoke Trunks. He looked around and noticed he wasn't in his usual bed. In fact he couldn't remember what he was doing in this room. He noticed somebody in his arms and froze. Had he been drunk? Had he slept with somebody by mistake? All these thoughts rushed through him and made him dizzy. He breathed deeply and looked at the sleeping form. It was Pan. He stopped panicking instantly realizing it was her. Like before of course he didn't question what he was doing there or if something had happened between them. They trusted each other so much that even waking up in the most unlikely looking situations was normal. This was because there was always an explanation. He knew something must have happened because they would never do something wide of the mark and that's when last night's situation came back.
"Morning." She mumbled. Pan opened her eyes and sat up. Like Trunks she was confused as to what she was dong here. He looked at her with an amused expression. "I sort of forgot." She began to say but he answered her without waiting for her to finish talking.
"You fainted remember?" She laughed and shook her head. Then she lay back down and looked up to the ceiling.
"Can't believe I forgot." He lay on his side propped up on an elbow and smirked. He knew exactly what she was thinking. The thought of exaggerating and changing the real answer seemed tempting. "You don't suppose…"
"Yes." She was horrified and speechless. She looked at him trying to see if he was lying or not. He grinned and she pretended to be angry. She lightly shoved him and he made it seem as though it hurt. "What was that for?" He feigned ignorance.
"I can't believe you scared me like that. Making me think your father had seen me faint. You know he sees that stuff as a sign of weakness. He probably won't spar with me or train me anymore if he had been there." He shook his head and laughed at her. She was right but he knew his father liked Pan in some sense as well because of her determination to fight. He would have made an exception for her.
"Relax. He was in the gravity room at the time. I doubt he would act that way though even if he had been there. You know you're like a second daughter to him." She pondered this thought and silently agreed. "Do you want to grab some breakfast before you leave? I'm quite sure the anti biotic worked. You look better then yesterday."
"Nah. I don't think so Trunks. I need to go see Mark. I'm afraid if I don't do it now I won't ever have the courage to again." He embraced her with a hug and kissed her cheek. Taking his hand he brushed her fringe aside. "Thanks for everything Trunks." Pan stood up and opened the window. The warm air greeted her. Closing her eyes she let it calm her. The two exchanged one last glance and then she flew out.
"Bye Pan. I'll be here when he makes it worse." Trunks muttered quietly. He knew it wouldn't be an easy task. Mark would most definitely try to change her mind and he would throw a fit but it was for the best. He was quite the jealous character. That being his only bad trait. At first glance he would seem alright but when you gradually got to know him it was as though he had a totally different side to him. He had only begun to notice it these past few days and fortunately Pan had too.

A young man sat in the little coffee shop. He took a sip from his coffee and then put it down. Pan had called him a moment ago asking him to meet her. It was supposedly very important and couldn't wait. For a while now he had thought over and over about what it could possibly be. Maybe she wanted to take their relationship to the next level. Mark smirked at the thought. A chair scraped in front of him and he was taken away from his thoughts. Pan sat down and she smiled slightly.
"Hey." She spoke softly but it was audible all the same. He went to give her a quick peck on the cheek and she meekly obliged. Somehow he didn't seem to notice her expression at all. "We need to talk." The young girl sat down and looked to the ground.
"Yeah Pan. What is it?" Her discomfort began to show and it was now so obvious that he had to notice. "Is something wrong?" It wasn't a question asking her to tell him but more of a demand to know what was wrong with her. This made her even more uneasy.
"I think we should break up." There. She had said it. Pan sighed in relief and began to feel her heartbeat return to normal. His mouth was practically hanging open. Trying to muster words he slumped back in his chair. He hadn't been prepared for that sudden announcement. Instead of feeling sad or heartbroken he began to well up with anger.
"No." She wasn't expecting such an answer and stared at him with surprise. "I said no. We aren't breaking up." He was practically shouting it out now and people were beginning to stare. It was strange. He had never acted like this before. It almost seemed to frighten her. "This is because of Trunks isn't it? What happened huh? Did he make a few right moves and say I love you? Is that it?"
"What are you talking about?" Pan asked. Confusion was evident but he didn't seem to care. "Do you think this is because of Trunks?"
"I don't think it is because of him. I know it. I see the way you two touch each other. You make it seem as though you're practically married but you're not. You are mine. Do you understand that?" Mark banged his hands on the table. The whole café was quiet as everybody looked their way. He grabbed her hands and tightened his grip.
"I don't think you understand. Trunks and I are best friends. There is nothing going on between us and my reason for breaking up with you has nothing to do with it." She yanked her hands away from him. "I thought I understood you when we first got together but clearly I was wrong. You're jealous of every body and you don't trust me. You always think I'm doing something behind your back but I'm not. Just leave me alone." With that she ran out of the café. He stood there with a puzzled expression. Pan was his. She had always been and she always would be. At least that was what she thought. Was it possible she had fallen for someone else?

Pan ran through the streets. There were tears blurring her vision. She wasn't quite sure why she was crying. Maybe it was out of fear or more so maybe it was because she had once had feelings for such a person who at this very moment she despised. He had hurt her. Made her feel guilty when she knew what she was doing wasn't wrong. Right now she wanted to feel safe. Sure she was stronger then him physically but emotionally, she was the very opposite. How could she have been so blind? Kami, she hated herself for feeling this way. It wasn't right.
Rain started to pour down hard and she needed to find cover. Nearing a bench at some park she collapsed on it and sobbed even harder. She felt so weak just crying like this. Vegeta had always taught her that it was a sign of weakness. At that moment she didn't care. Screw Vegeta and his stupid theories. He was the weak one. He couldn't even admit he loved his family. The rain soaked her clothes but she didn't do anything about it. She needed comfort. She needed Trunks. Then her thoughts went back to Mark's words. I see the way you two touch each other. You make it seem as though you're practically married but you're not. Was this true? She had never thought of their relationship as anything but friends. No, she wouldn't think like that. Mark didn't know any better. He was wrong. Friends looked out for friends. That's what Trunks and her did. Her crying gradually stopped. Nothing had changed or had it?
