Orange Star High School- The Legacy Continues...
A/N: Just a quick note. This takes place at a time when Pan is in high school. Trunks, Goten, and Bra also attend Orange Star and obviously their ages have been changed. Pan- 17, Trunks- 18, Goten- 18, Bra- 16. Also, I have added a new character of my own. His name's Eraser and he's the child of Sharpner and Erasa; age 17. And in case you didn't read the summary, this is a Trunks/Pan pairing.
Chapter 5- Movies and Heartbreaks
Pan sighed and closed the math book and dropped it down to the hardwood floor. "Looks like we're all done for today."
The gleam in Goten's eyes returned and he stood up stretching. "Thank Dende."
Pan stood up as well and made her way into the kitchen. "Want anything to eat?!"
"Of course!" Goten called, sitting on the couch and turning on the TV. Moments later, Pan returned to the family room with arm full of snacks including popcorn, candy, soda, and much more. She looked over the bowl of popcorn and stared at Goten who was absorbed in the TV.
"Uh, Goten."
"Yeah?" He asked, not noticing Pan struggling with the snacks.
"You know, some help with this stuff might be nice!" She snapped.
Goten looked over saying a quick, 'Oh!' and helped Pan with the snacks. Once the two were all settled in, Pan walked over to the movie rack where all the DVD's and tapes were.
"So, what do you wanna see?" She asked, giving the rack a twirl.
Goten shrugged. "Whatever, as long as it isn't tragedy, I hate that stuff."
Pan nodded and picked out 'Spiderman 2' from the rack and popped it into the DVD player. Goten raised an eyebrow. "Spiderman?"
Pan sat down on the couch next to him and grabbed some popcorn. "It's not a bad movie."
Just as the previews began, the doorbell rung. Pan groaned and raced up to answer it. To her surprise, it was Trunks.
"Trunks?" She answered mouth full of popcorn. She swallowed. "What are you doing here?"
"Mom, dad, argument," Trunks explained, "A little too much drama for me. Mind if I stay here for a while?"
Pan nodded and let him inside the room. Trunks arched an eyebrow at the sight of the room, which had not one light on. "Did I interrupt something?"
Pan's eyes went wide as she realized what he thought was going on. "No! Why the heck would I- oh forget it."
"Pan, who's there?!" Goten called from the couch.
"Just Trunks, the untrusting sicko," Pan joked.
Trunks laughed and walked over to the couch and sat down next to Pan. "What are we watching?"
"Spiderman 2," Pan replied, stuffing gummy worms into her mouth.
Trunks nodded and leaned back into the couch. Pan offered him some gummy worms. Trunks grabbed some. "Thanks."
Pan nodded and continued watching the movie. Halfway through the movie, the sound of the phone interrupted them. Pan hopped up from her spot on the couch to answer it.
"Son residence, Pan speaking," She replied. There was a pause. "Okay, bye Grandma."
Trunks looked over. "Something wrong?"
Pan shook her head. "Nah, but Grandma wants you home Goten."
Goten sighed and grabbed another handful of popcorn. "Man, mind if I come over tomorrow to finish watching it?"
"You liked it that much?" Pan asked.
Goten nodded and stole some of Pan's gummy worms. Pan glared then stopped the DVD and ejected it from the DVD player. "Here," she replied, handing it to him, "Take it home and watch it. I'm sure Trunks and I will find something else to watch."
"Thanks!" Goten called, running out the door with the DVD in hand.
The room was silent for a moment until Pan spoke up. "So...what do you wanna watch?"
Trunks shrugged. "Anything's fine, just not romance, I hate that stuff."
"Really? I hate that stuff as well," Pan replied, getting up from the couch once more. She searched through the movie rack then walked back over to the couch. "Can't find anything good. You don't mind if we just talk do you?"
Trunks shook his head. "Nah." A small smile appeared on his face. "So, what are you doing for Eraser's bet?"
Pan groaned. "Not you too, both Goten and Bra have already asked me. And like I told them, I'm not sure yet."
"Well you better get started soon, one week left you know," Trunks pointed out.
"Yeah, and there's no way I'm pretending to be Eraser's boyfriend."
Trunks laughed. "And I'd like to see Eraser shave his head."
Pan gave a smirk. "That'd be sweet. I can't image Eraser without his beloved hair though..."
"Me either..."
"Wonder what the 'ladies' would think of him as then?" Pan wondered.
Trunks shrugged.
"I bet he'd have a hard time trying to get a date for the dance," Pan continued on.
Trunks nodded, all the same time thinking to himself. The room grew silent once more. This time it was Trunks who broke the silence. "So, plan on asking someone to the dance?"
Pan shook her head. "Not really. That's one reason I joined leadership. You have an excuse to go to the dances without a date."
"Yeah," Trunks replied, "But I bet there are lots of guys out there that like you..."
Pan laughed. "Yeah, like me because I'm popular. They don't care about my personality at all. I doubt half of them know a thing about me."
"But if they did, I'm sure they'd like you," Trunks continued, trying to contain himself from blushing. Was she getting the hint or what?
"Probably not," Pan remarked, "I'm the biggest tomboy this side of town. You know how most guys are, they go for the girly-girl type." She kicked her legs up on the end tables. "And I'm hardly that."
"Not all guys, in fact, some guys like them feisty..."
Pan turned to Trunks and looked him in the eye. Trunks could feel himself starting to sweat. What in Kami's Lookout had he just said?
"So if you liked me as more than just a friend, you'd ask me out?"
Trunks nodded weakly, hoping she got the message he was trying to send.
Pan leaned back on the couch and looked up at the ceiling. "Well that's good to know, I guess."
Trunks sighed and mentally swore to himself. She hadn't got the hint and he was too afraid to say anything. He stood up. "Well I better be going then..."
"Already?" Pan questioned, walking him to the door.
Trunks nodded, not wanting to say anything else. He waved a short goodbye and flew off toward the Capsule Corp. Pan closed the door behind him and sat on the couch baffled. What was his problem?
