I'M SOOO SORRY THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG!!! It's been typed for a while (it's been waiting to get uploaded for like 2 ½ weeks) but I was put on punishment *pout* and wasn't allowed near the comp! *Screams* I'm sooo happy!! I got sooo many reviews!! I finally saw the last ep of Cowboy Bebop (u all should watch that show) and now I'm depressed, every time I hear the song Blue I bust out in uncontrollable tears *sigh*. OMGosh I bought the bomb cd… Thursday War All The Time. It Rocks, you guys have to go buy it. On w/ the story…
"So Miss Son, how have your classes been going?" Ms Yoshimara asked with a sick twinkle in her eyes.
"Wonderful." Pan answered trying to keep her temper while looking at one of the two people that she wouldn't mind blowing up. Yoshimara-san was obviously not talking about her regular classes but the anger management class that she and Pan's father made her take.
After quitting her job and 'attacking' her fellow classmates Yoshimara-san and Gohan thought it wise that she learn to deal with her pent up anger before she had to encounter 'the real world'. The only problem was that these anger management classes were only making her more pissed off. Every time she was around the woman who led the classes, Happy Haruka as she liked to be called, Pan only wanted to slap everyone in the vicinity.
The little disagreement she had had with Amber the day before wasn't helping either. Apparently, from what she had heard, Amber was going to attempt to get revenge. Pan wanted to know what the little whore had planned. Not because she was intimidated but because she wondered what Amber really thought she could do to get back at her.
"Pay attention when I'm talking to you!" Yoshimara's booming voice brought Pan back to the conversation. Pan gave Yoshimara a don't-you-ever-yell-at-me-like-that-again glare that would have had pee running down the legs of a weaker person.
"Who are you talking to?" Pan asked as her hold on her temper started to slip.
"Who else beside me and you are in this room?" Yoshimara asked threateningly.
"Oh." Pan stated. Yoshimara opened her mouth as if to continue speaking before getting cut off by Pan. "Then you must have been talking to yourself." (hehe ^_^)
"Look little miss, don't make me angry. You will not like me when I'm angry."
"Oh, so now you're the Incredible Hulk." Pan stated as she smoothed out her red and black checkered skirt. She was intentionally trying to get under the dean's skin. She had to admit that even though she hated Yoshimara she sort of enjoyed getting sent to her office so that she could torture the evil bitch.
"That's it! Be here at eight o' clock Saturday morning. You just earned yourself detention for the next two weeks!"
Pan sat in the hard back plastic chair that she had become used to and stared at the Dean. Surely she didn't just say that Pan had detention? A broad smile spread across Pan's lips.
"Wow. You must really like me. I think I'm flattered that you would give up not one but two of your Saturdays to sit in a room with me."
It seemed like the fact that she supervised the Saturday school had just hit Yoshimara because she suddenly became a deep shade of red and started shaking with anger. She took a few deep breaths before speaking again. "On second thought, I will be speaking with your father about your suspension."
"You know. I always wondered why you guys thought that suspension was a punishment. It sounds more like a vacation to me. So how long is it gonna be? Are you giving me a five day weekend?"
"We'll see what kind of vacation it is after I speak with your father." Yoshimara grinned as she dialed Gohan's work number. She was on the line for a minute or two before hanging up and dialing Pan's home number. Pan sat in the plastic chair with a smile plastered on her face. After a few seconds Yoshimara left a message and hung up the phone.
"Can I leave now?" Pan asked while playing with the holes in her fish net stockings. She looked up to see Yoshimara seething in anger.
"After I speak with your parents I will be telling you how long your suspension will be. Now get out of my sight."
"Gladly." Pan stated flatly as she grabbed her bag and walked out.
"Oh yeah, Miss Son." Yoshimara called with what sounded like amusement in her voice.
"Yes, Ma'am" Pan said sarcastically as she turned around.
"I believe you are violating the dress code."
"How would that be, Ma'am?"
"Your skirt is too short I believe that is grounds for after school trash pick up duty." Yoshimara replied smiling.
"Oh, well, I hate to tell you this, Ma'am, but in chapter two, section five, paragraph three of the student handbook it says that no skirts can be more than five inches above the knee. My skirt falls at exactly four inches and two centimeters above my knee. If you do the math, assuming that you can count, then you will realize that I am at no fault." Pan asked before turning and walking out of the office. She was grinning wider than she had ever done before. Not only had she pissed Yoshimara off, she got out of trash duty, and would be getting into no trouble at all when she got home since Gohan and Videl had to leave town for a week for some dork convention.
"Hey Trunks." She said, the happiness oozing from her pores.
"I wish you would stop calling me that. People look at you funny and I had to come up with an excuse to tell Amber about why you keep calling me by my 'brother's' name." Mirai Trunks said as he walked over to her.
"Oh, It just sort of slips, what with your name being Trunks and all." She stated in her oh so smart way. "So how is my 'best friend' doing now a days?" Pan asked referring to Amber.
"Please don't." Mirai stated.
Pan looked up at him to see the upset expression on his face. She noticed that he looked pretty good today, not that he ever looked bad. Blush started to creep up Pan's face. He was wearing a nice pair of slightly baggy jeans, an open grey button up shirt, and a black tank top. ('tank top' sounds funny we call 'em wife beaters ^_^)
Pan looked down quickly before Trunks had the chance to realize that she was staring at him. "Sorry. Didn't mean to offend you." She answered referring to their conversation about Amber.
"What ever. Hey you wanna hang out today? Since your parents are gone, you don't have a job anymore, and your anger management classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays," He let out a small chuckle at the thought of her in those classes before continuing, "I assumed you don't have anything to do today."
"Actually I have to…" Pan started, "Okay, no, I don't have anything to do today. So, what you wanna do?" Pan looked up to see a smile on Mirai Trunks' face. She had just got busted again. It was true she had no life but she didn't want the rest of the world to know that.
"I don't know. I didn't think about that." Mirai Trunks replied with a smile. Pan chuckled at her friend. "Nice shirt. Adema's cool."
"What? Are you turning into a rock fan?"
"You obviously haven't seen my cd collection."
The third period bell had rung signaling the beginning of lunch. The two friends turned a corner heading towards the cafeteria. "Hey, you wanna skip the cafeteria and go get something to eat…" Pan trailed off as they saw a shocking sight.
Amber was leaning up against a locker kissing a guy that was not Mirai Trunks. She was too busy to notice that her boyfriend was watching the scene. Pan reached out and grabbed Trunks' arm as he went to attack the guy kissing his girlfriend. Pan wasn't sure why she stopped him, she just didn't want her friend to get in trouble, like she was going to be in as soon as she finished pounding Amber into the ground.
"Come on let's just go." Pan said as she glared at the bitch who had the nerve to cheat on someone as wonderful as Trunks. Mirai stopped his advances for a moment. "Come on let's go." Pan repeated.
"Okay." Trunks answered but continued in his intended path of travel. Pan ran up behind him and grabbed his arm again. "It's okay. I'm not gonna do anything." He stated. Pan decided to trust her friend and continued walking along side him.
As they came closer to Amber she stopped sucking face with her companion long enough to see Trunks walking by. She jumped and tried to nervously explain but was cut short as she realized he wasn't paying her any attention. She did however catch Pan mouthing the words, "I'm gonna beat your ass."
***
After catching Amber cheating on him Trunks didn't want to stay at the school any longer so after asking Bra if she wanted to tag along (and getting a brisk 'no') they left campus and found a McDonalds.
Pan watched Mirai Trunks seethe in anger as he ate one of his burgers. She couldn't remember ever seeing Trunks mad. Wait, except at the party. She remembered seeing the anger flicker in his eyes as he tried to comfort her. She also very vividly remembered seeing the crumpled figure of Tenshi. She was so happy that Mirai was there to save her. She was even happier because she was scared to think about what she would have done to Tenshi if his plan had worked.
Mirai noticed the look on Pan's face and asked her what was wrong.
"It's nothing." Pan replied shortly.
"No it's something. You don't look pissed for no reason." He had come out of his anger induced stuper long enough to see the expression on Pan's face. She looked severely pissed and kind of sad at the same time. He had a feeling that it wasn't because Amber had cheated on him.
"I was just thinking." She answered quietly as she continued eating her fries.
"Thinking about…?" It was obvious he wasn't going to let her get by with a half answer.
"Tenshi." Pan replied honestly.
"Oh… Look if you need someone to talk to I'm here."
"Yeah, I know. It's just-"
"What?"
"Nothing. It's nothing." Pan didn't want to talk about it yet. Even though she knew that if there was anyone in the world who would be there for her it would be Trunks she still couldn't get the words out.
"You want another burger? I'm still hungry." She said hurriedly changing the subject.
"Iie. I'm fine." Trunks replied watching Pan nervously get up and walk over to the cash register.
Pan was standing at the counter for a few seconds waiting for someone to come and take her order. It was obvious that they were still short on people. She would have preferred to go to a different McDonalds but this was the closest one to the school. Of course they would end up going to the place she dramatically quit from. Why couldn't they have gone to Jack in the Box? (I don't even know if they have Jack in the Box in Japan ^_-)
A few seconds later the manager came to take her order. He looked at her for a moment as anger filled his eyes. "Can I take your order?" He strained to ask politely.
"Sure, I would like two jumbo jacks with cheese and no onions, please." She ordered with a smile on her face.
"Will that be it?" He asked in the same strained voice. Pan fought with the idea of torturing the man by changing her order repeatedly but decided to be nice for once.
"Hai. That will be all, thank you." She stated in the same polite and cheery voice.
After her food was prepared the manager slammed her tray on the counter and glared at her. Pan could practically see the smoke coming from his nostrils. Her smile broadened as she saw how riled up he was getting at the mere sight of her.
"Thank you very much. That was fast you must have just broken your record. I guess the eight years of practice you've had has really paid off." Pan said in the same cheery tone. She could tell the man was trying his hardest to keep from jumping over the counter and strangling her.
After she sat back down at their table Trunks gave her a quizzical smile. "What did you say to get his panties all in a bunch?" He asked referring to the man who was glaring daggers at the side of Pan's head.
"Nothing. He's still mad at the way I quit I guess." She answered. "I still can't believe Bra turned us down just to hang out with those preppy bastards." She said changing the subject.
"They're not that bad you know." Trunks stated while sipping his soda.
"Whatever. Where do you want to go next?" Pan asked changing the subject again.
"I don't care. Pick a place."
Pan twisted on of her ponytails around her fingers. "Hm…" She had a slight grin on her face that made Mirai nerves.
"Nani?" He asked looking at her quizzically. She looked kind of cute sitting there with her two ponytails. She looked kind of… innocent… in a punk rock sorta way of course.
"I was just thinking about something we could do." She replied.
"Something like what?"
Pan just looked at him the smile spreading across her face. "Nah, you're too boring for it. Never mind."
"What? Come on what is it? Wait, if it has anything to do with violence, blowing anything up, or-" Trunks started.
"No. What type of person do you think I am? Don't answer that. What do you think Mom would say if you came home with a tat?" Pan asked.
"That sounds so wrong. It's weird when you call kaasan mom." Trunks said shaking his head.
"What's weird about it?"
"That would make you like my sister. Ugh."
"What do you mean 'ugh'? Anyways you didn't answer my question."
"She would probably kill me then have Vegeta incinerate my body." Mirai stated blankly.
"It would not be that bad. Come on grow some balls." Pan laughed poking Trunks in the shoulder. "Live a little."
"You know this is called peer pressure. But… okay." He stated piling all his trash on top of his tray. "Come on, let's go." He said standing up and heading toward the trash can.

"I can't believe you talked me into that." Mirai said as they sat on his bed later that day.
"Oh man up and stop acting like a little girl. I'm sure it wasn't that bad." Pan stated she had gotten her first tatoo and knew that Gohan was going to kill her if he found out. He forbade her from getting a tatoo until she moved out. Of course he also forbade her from getting piercings too. But she had nine of those (her naval, nose, tongue, three in her left ear, two in the lobe and one in the cartilage of her right ear) and all he did was ground her for a month.
"What did you get anyways?" Mirai Trunks asked her.
"A bucking bronco." Pan stated as she turned around so that he could see the horse on her lower back. Pan wouldn't let him see what she was getting until after. It was supposed to be surprises. "And what about you cry baby?" Pan asked teasing him.
"I didn't cry. Shut up. I got my mom's name. You know, my mom from the future." He said looking down at the bed.
"Trunks, what happened in the future? Why did you come back here? And how are you seventeen? I can't figure that out." Pan asked as she got up and plopped down on the giant beanbag chair in the corner.
Wow, that was long and boring. Sorry again that it took so long to update. I'll get the next chapter up relatively soon. I'm starting two other stories and a one shot right now and I have another T/P in the works. I need to get the next chapter of my B/V Betrayal up. I only update that once every two or three months. In short I'm a very busy girl. Yeah, I had to shout out Adema, they kick all kinda ass! My person fav is "Giving In"
Oh, and MUCHO thanx to everyone who has reviewed.
