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. Okay, enough of my rambling, on with the story.
No, I couldn't come up with a better name for this chapter. You're going to have to live with it for now until I can think of a better one.
Chapter 10- The Beginning of the End
Bra followed Pan upstairs into her room and closed the door behind her. Pan sat on her bed and turned on the TV.
"Now what did you want?" Pan asked, looking at the television.
Bra went over and turned the TV off.
"Excuse me, I was watching that!" Pan exclaimed as Bra stood in front of the TV with her arms folded, much in a fashion like Vegeta.
"I want you to tell me what's going on," Bra spoke, getting right to the point.
Pan shifted around. "Nothing, what kind of question is that?"
Bra lifted an eyebrow. "You can't hide anything from me Pan. We've been friends way too long for that."
"Look, nothing's wrong, I just had a bad day okay," Pan answered.
"Come on Pan!" Bra begged, "You can tell me anything!"
Pan looked up at her friend and sighed. "There's this boy..."
"A boy?!" Bra exclaimed loudly.
"Shut up!" Pan yelled. "Just broadcast it to the whole world why don't you?!"
Bra put a hand over her mouth. "Sorry," She whispered. "Who is it?"
"It's um..." Pan trailed off then threw her hands up into the air. "Oh just forget it! I kissed Trunks, okay?"
Bra's eyes went wide, "You what?!"
"I kissed Trunks, end of story," Pan stood up and began making her way toward her door, only to be stopped by Bra.
"No, not end of story! This is just the beginning! I want the full version, and don't skip any parts!" Bra replied, eyes glowing.
Pan sighed and began telling Bra everything that happened. She finished the story and Bra immediately hugged her, "You and Trunks! This is so great! If you two got married..."
"Married?!" Pan exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Bra continued on. "All the best couples start off as couples in high school! Just look at your mom and dad; high school sweethearts!"
Pan groaned. "Listen, I'm not sure I even like Trunks that way."
"You mean, you don't like him?" Bra asked.
Pan shrugged. "I mean, the kiss -was- pretty nice, but I think I might have done it because of pressure. Besides, I don't even know if he likes he back."
"Why wouldn't he? I mean, you're smart, popular, and strong, lots of guys already like you!"
"I don't know...I just have to think," Pan spoke.
Bra nodded and started for the door. "Okay, if you need someone to talk to, just call."
Pan nodded and watched her leave the room. She sighed and fell back on her bed, falling into a daydream...
-----------------------------------------
Pan kicked a rock into the street as she made her way to school. Her long black hair flowed through the wind aimlessly. She quickly looked up at her uncle Goten who was eyeing her carefully. Pan stared at him strangely.
"What?!"
Goten nearly tripped at Pan's sudden outburst, "Nothing! Can't I look at my own niece without getting the third-degree?"
"Not when you're staring like that!" Pan came back.
Goten shifted his backpack. "Well, sorry. I was just-"
"Forget it," Pan interrupted as they entered the school grounds. "It's not important."
Goten sighed quietly as the two entered the school building. Immediately, sounds of gossiping teens filled the air. Pan ignored it all and headed straight for her locker. What she found was someone waiting for her.
"Pan!"
"Bra, what are you doing?" Pan asked, opening her locker.
"Didn't you hear?!" The girl squealed.
Pan removed several books from her backpack. "Hear what? And I'm pretty sure that I didn't hear about whatever it is you're talking about because I don't gossip."
Bra ignored the comment made by her friend. "Seiko Origami, he's coming to Orange Star today!"
"Who?" Pan asked, closing the door to her locker.
"The big director guy," Bra explained.
"Oh, that's magical," Pan replied sarcastically.
Bra shook Pan around. "Don't you know what this means?!"
Pan removed Bra's hands from her shoulders. "That I don't care?"
"No! That-"
"I'm gonna be a star!" A voice interrupted.
Pan rolled her eyes and didn't bother to see who the voice belonged to. She already knew...
"And I just might take you to the top with me if you play your cards right babe."
"Get a life Eraser," Pan replied.
Eraser stepped in front of her. "Oh, but I do have a life my friend; a life in show business!"
Pan's eyes went wide as she looked at Eraser. She held in a laugh. "I don't know what's funnier, the way you're acting or your outfit!"
Eraser looked down and scanned his clothes, "What?! What's wrong with my clothes?"
"I think it's the fact that they're sparkling!" Pan exclaimed.
Goten began laughing, "Why are you wearing sparkling pants?!"
Eraser blushed slightly then ran a hand through his hair. "You guys are only jealous you don't have clothes like these."
"More like I'm glad I don't have clothes like those," Pan remarked. Goten gave a snicker.
Meanwhile, Trunks peered from around the corner and spotted Pan. There she was standing at her locker laughing about something. What if she was telling everyone about their kiss? Or worse, what if Goten had told? Knowing him, he probably had, seeing he couldn't keep a secret for anything. Trunks sighed and gathered up his courage and began making his way toward Pan. He had to face her sooner or later, he minus well get it over with...
Eraser opened his mouth to speak when suddenly, he was interrupted by the sounds of people chatting loudly and squealing.
Bra gasped. "He's here!"
Pan pretended to be excited, "Oh my gosh! Does my hair look okay? Do I have enough make-up?! Does my breath smell minty fresh?!" She shook Goten furiously. "Does it?! DOES IT?!"
Goten laughed then stopped as someone pushed him out of the way. A tall man wearing beige pants, a button up beige and black shirt, and a black hat stood there. Behind him stood a lady wearing a business suit and a man holding a camera.
Pan helped Goten to his feet then stared angrily at the three. "Excuse me but you just pushed my friend out of the way."
The tall man opened his mouth to say something when Eraser and Bra came rushing forward. Eraser stuck his hand out.
"Hi, I'm Eraser Pencil, I'm your -biggest- fan this side of town!"
The man nodded quickly and pushed Eraser to the side. "That's great; I'll get you an autograph later." He stepped over to Pan. "Are you Pan Son?"
Pan folded her arms, "Maybe, why?"
The tall man held out his hand. "I'm Seiko Origami and I'm the director who's shooting the documentary that you may have heard about."
"Oh really, so you're the reason everyone's acting so superficial," Pan spoke.
Bra gasped and stepped in front of her friend. "Mr. Origami, Pan didn't mean that. She just-"
Seiko laughed. "Are you kidding me?! I'm lovin' the girl! She's got some serious attitude! She'll be great for my documentary!"
"Listen, I'm not some science project of yours," Pan spoke through gritted teeth, "If you wanna tape someone, go tape blonde boy over here." She pointed to Eraser whose eyes were still gleaming.
Seiko shook his head. "Oh, but we can't do the movie without you! You're the star!"
"What?!" Eraser and Bra exclaimed in union.
"Didn't you know?" Seiko asked. "This whole documentary's about the day in the life of Pan Son!"
Pan's mouth dropped, "What?!"
"Yeah, I'm continuing my documentary on the Satan/Son Legacy!" Seiko spoke, "You ever see my documentary on Mr. Satan? Or how about the one about Videl Satan herself?"
Pan curved an eyebrow. "No, and what makes you think I want to be followed around by the likes of you?"
"Come on, who doesn't?" He neared Pan, "I could make you a star!"
Bra shook Pan. "Come on Pan! You should let him!"
Eraser nodded vigorously while at the same time thinking about how he could inch his way into the spotlight.
Pan sighed and looked to Goten for support but to her dismay, he had disappeared. She turned back to the director. "Okay, you can do your little documentary."
Seiko gave her a pat on the back. "Good call there! I'm sure you won't regret it once you see how the documentary turns out!"
Pan nodded weakly and headed for class, Eraser, Bra, and Seiko Origami following behind her.
Meanwhile, Trunks sighed as he watched Pan take off for class. He'd have to catch her at another time. If at all that would be possible thanks to Seiko and his documentary...
