Fallen from the start

Chapter three

Disclaimer: No I don't own anything except the storyline so yeah..

A/N: Well Pan has just recently broken up with that jerk. Hehe. Thanks everybody for the reviews. They are real nice and uplifting. Wow such a big word? Haha. Now on with the story.

The doorbell rang and Trunks ran down to open the door. He flung it open to reveal a dreadful looking Pan with red puffy eyes and a pale face. She looked at him and didn't attempt to do anything. There was hurt in his eyes as he looked at his best friend. He wanted to kill that jerk for whatever he had said to her.

"Come here." He said softly as he brought her to him. They stood like that for a while before she faced him again.

"It's ok Trunks. I'm not going to cry anymore. I've done enough of that for one day. Besides, why waste tears on him?" She laughed lightly. He got his hand and wiped a tear which had fallen a moment ago. Then suddenly they stopped falling. Like she had said she had stopped crying. It was quite amazing the way she could force herself not to cry. "Anyway, your girlfriend is coming. I can sense her ki approaching." She smiled. "I'm going to go upstairs and talk with Marron and Bra for a while."

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay here or anything. I'm sure Kea will understand." Pan shook her head. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"I'm sure. Besides we've got all the time in the world to be there for each other. I'll see you later." Then she made her way upstairs and knocked gently on Bra's door. A moment later Bra walked out. She took one look at her and gasped then pulled her inside. Trunks shook his head and laughed. His sister was so typical.

"Hey Trunks, ready to go?" A voice called form behind him. He turned around and was face to face with his girlfriend. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Then he closed the door behind him and they were off.

Marron and Bra were sitting around Pan as she explained her story. They gasped at some parts and were quiet at other times. When she had finally finished they had disgusted looks on their faces. Apparently, they like Trunks thought ill of him.

"I can't believe he said that to you." Bra gasped. She shook her head with disbelief. "I mean after knowing you so long he must've have known that it would pull a trigger. Who in their right mind would think they owned somebody."

"I know!" Marron agreed. They had both taken turns to hug Pan in an attempt to comfort her. Pan sat silently next to them and was nodding her head in agreement. She wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying. Just sort of tuning in and out.

"What do you guys mean? I broke up with him. Don't you kind of think I deserved what he said to me?" Pan asked as she stared ahead of her at the wall. She had taken the time to think the situation over and there was some doubt it was his entire fault. "I don't think everything that happened should be blamed on him alone. What do you think?"

"Pan! How can you say that about yourself?" Marron and Bra said angrily.

"You shouldn't blame yourself. You did what was right. The feelings he had for you weren't returned in the same way so you told him so he could find someone else. Would he of rather you live a lie for his happiness?" Marron asked.

"Yeah she's right Pan. Besides he doesn't deserve you if he can't even stay friends after breaking up. You weren't doing anything wrong like most people who cheat on their partners." Bra agreed.

"I don't know. You guys are probably right." She sat there for the next couple of hours listening to them criticise her ex boyfriend. She didn't really say much but what was there to say? Some of it was just made up but some part of her was comforted by their remarks. It made her feel better like Trunks always could.

Pan walked to the gravity room where loud noises could be heard. After sitting there for some time she had gotten a bit edgy. There was so much pent up anger inside her she needed to let it loose and what better way to do it then to go head to head with Vegeta. He would beat her to a bloody pulp which was something she could count on. She opened the door and he stopped throwing punches at his imaginary opponent. Instead he lunged right for her but she had expected this so she blocked his kicks and blasts.

"Nice greeting Vegeta!" Pan gasped as she flung to the wall. He grunted in response and they continued that way for a while before he spoke.

"I heard you got rid of that pathetic human." He stopped for a second just as she held her arms up in a defense position. She took that moment to take a plunge and attack him but he had already anticipated her move. They both stopped fighting as he glanced at her again in order to wait for a response.

"If you mean Mark then yes. He was quite a pathetic human don't you think?" Pan's voice replied hoarsely. This answer seemed to surprise Vegeta. This wasn't something he was expecting. It came as a shocker which was very out of the ordinary. "What is it Vegeta? Surprised because I agree with you?"

"No, not because of that." He raised an eyebrow as if questioning whether to tell her or not. "Then again, you'll know soon won't you?" Vegeta shrugged it off and began to start throwing ki blasts at her.

"Know what?" A puzzled Pan asked.

"You know. How my pathetic son has intentions of asking his little friend to marry him tonight. Humans and their rituals. What a waste of time." He grunted yet again.

What a shocker eh? Although I'm sure cause you're all very smart you would have guessed that was going to happen. Hmm, Trunks is getting married huh? No, no, still a Trunks/Pan fic lol. Sorry about the short chapter though. I've been busy and I'm never home anymore so I'll make it up to you. Thanks for all the reviews. They are so nice to read. Hope it wasn't too bad. Thanks anyways.
