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.
The following chapter introduces a new character into the story. Her name's Angelina and she's Angela's daughter. If you don't remember Angela, she's the girl who duped Gohan into his first date during the Great Saiyaman Saga. Anyway, Angelina is Angela's daughter.
Also, I just wanted to say, do you guys realize how hectic Pan's schedule is? Let's have a look, everyday she tutors Goten, every Tuesday and Thursday she has basketball practice and Saturdays are the games, she has leadership which can sometimes extend until after school, she's trying to win Eraser's bet plus keep up her grades, and on top of it all, she's trying to deal with a possible love life. I put Pan through so much, and more is soon to come! -Grins evilly-
Chapter 11- Stress and Annoyance
Pan took a seat next to Bra in her leadership class, Seiko and his crew following close behind. Pan groaned as she heard her fellow classmates giggling and pointing to the camera in awe. A couple of the brave ones purposely walked in front of the camera, hoping to get in the film.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry!" One girl exclaimed as she walked in front of the camera. She gave a quick smile and blew a kiss at the camera before taking her seat. Another guy flashed the peace sign before taking his seat.
Pan shook her head. What people would do to get on TV…
Markie stood at the front of the table and cleared her throat loudly, "Everyone quiet!"
The room immediately silenced and Markie began speaking again. "Now that the theme for the dance has been planned, we still need to get decorations, music, and more. I'm going to need some people to volunteer to do decorations. Any takers?"
Several hands shot up, Bra being one of them. Markie quickly wrote down the people who were to be in charge of the decorations down.
"Anyone up for the doing the music?"
Pan's hand went up along with others. Behind her, Pan could hear Seiko talking to his crew. "Did you get that on tape?" He whispered.
The camera man nodded. Pan rolled her eyes all the same time hoping that Seiko and his camera crew weren't going to tape her every move. She looked around the room as Markie jotted down the names of people who were to be in charge of the music and noticed that Trunks was missing. Wonder where boxer boy is. I haven't seen him since our kiss. I wonder if he faked sick...Nah, even he wouldn't do that.
Suddenly, the door to the leadership room burst open and Trunks walked in, a white slip in his hand. Pan watched as he handed it to Markie who nodded in response. Trunks looked around the room for an empty chair but to his dismay, only one spot remained, right next to Pan.
Oh it just -had- to be Pan. Just great... The half-saiyan thought to himself as he made his way over to where Pan was sitting.
Pan peered over at Trunks from the corner of her eye. He was currently making his way over to her and seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her. So that's how he wants to play. Well, two can play this game. Pan thought as Trunks took a seat next to her.
Trunks looked behind him where Seiko and his crew were filming everything, mainly focusing on Pan. He wanted to ask why they were taping Pan but decided against it and turned his attention to Markie who had just called out his name.
"Trunks, everything else for the dance has been taken so it looks like you're going to have to handle music."
Trunks nodded as Markie began going over everyone's positions.
"Okay, in charge of decorations, Bra, Leslie, Toei, and myself," Markie spoke, "In charge of music, Angelina, Pan, and Trunks..."
Trunks did a double take. Had Markie just said that -Pan- was in charge of music as well as him? This school only existed to make his life miserable.
Markie stood up. "Okay, now that you know your jobs, let's get to work. Um, people in charge of music can head over to the band room to discuss music."
The three in charge of music nodded and began making their way to the band room in silence. Angelina, who had a crush on Trunks, walked near him, smiling broadly on the way. Trunks blushed faintly and took a few steps away from her. Great, as if things aren't bad enough, now I have this girl trying to win me over.
The three made their way to the band room along Seiko and his crew. Pan closed the door to the room and pulled out three chairs for them to sit in.
"Okay, so what kind of music do you think we should have for this dance?"
"How about something romantic?" Angelina spoke, her eyes gleaming. She looked over to Trunks and smiled.
Pan felt her ki rise slightly. Just who did Ms. Innocent think she was anyway? Flirting with Trunks, she knew her type...
Trunks turned his head toward Pan, noticing that her ki level was going up. But why?
Wait, why do I care if Ms. Innocence is flirting with Trunks? Pan thought to herself as she shook her head. What had she been thinking? "Romantic music would be nice Angelina, if we were giving a Valentines Dance. But we're giving a martial arts themed dance."
Angelina grew silent then looked over at Trunks. "Well I'm sure Trunks has an idea."
All eyes went to Trunks who merely shrugged in response. "I, I don't know."
Pan groaned in irritation. It would definitely be a long day...
Pan arrived home late that afternoon with a slight headache and the urge to punch someone. She slammed the door closed hard, making the house rattle a bit.
"Pan that you?" Videl called from the kitchen.
"Yeah," Pan mumbled, dragging her way into the kitchen. She had spent the last few hours at school picking out music for the dance and all at the same time trying to get Seiko off her back. He was starting to get on her nerves. And even after all that, she still hadn't got a chance to speak with Trunks, the day was turning out to be a nightmare.
"Hey mom," Pan sighed as she took a seat at the counter. She rested her head in her arms which were placed on the kitchen counter.
Videl looked up from what she was cooking. "Bad day?"
"More like a nightmare," Pan replied with a heavy sigh.
Videl arched an eyebrow and Pan began explaining.
"There's this director at our school and he's following me around for his new documentary, A Day in the Life of Son Pan, he's really starting to bug the crap outta me."
Videl turned around quickly, "Don't tell me it's that Suki Origami guy..."
"Nope, it's Seiko Origami, why?"
Videl resumed cooking just as Gohan walked into the room. "Because some guy named Suki Origami came to Orange Star when I went there following me around the whole day. Seiko must be his son."
"A day?!" Pan exclaimed. "Seiko and his crew are doing this for a whole week!" She banged her head onto the table and let out another groan.
"Doing what for a week?" Gohan asked as he slowly made his way over to the food Videl was preparing.
Pan remained with her head down, "A documentary about me."
"Really?" Gohan went on. He sniffed the aroma of the food. "That sounds kind of neat." He slyly reached over for a sample of the dinner. Videl was faster though and caught his hand right before it touched the food.
"Back away from the food!" She yelled sternly. Pan snickered from behind.
"Nice goin' Dad," She laughed.
Gohan sighed, "Well I tried..."
"And failed miserably," Pan added as she stood up from the table. Just then, the phone rang. Pan walked over and answered it. "Hello?"
"Pan, hi!" Goten's voice came from over the phone, "Just calling to make sure my favorite niece if okay!"
Pan rolled her eyes from over the phone, "What do you want Goten?"
"Homework help, math, page 114," Goten explained.
Pan gave out a loud groan, threw down the phone, and ran out of the room yelling out in anger. Videl and Gohan starred at their daughter in confusion and peered over at the phone where Goten was still talking.
"Hello, Pan?" Goten called.
Videl looked over at Gohan who merely shrugged and went to retrieve the phone. "Pan's busy at the moment Goten, call back later."
"But I need help!" The younger of the two brothers cried.
Gohan sighed and began to come up with a motive as to why Pan was so annoyed. "Come over and I'll help."
"Okay," Goten replied happily, "Just let me get a quick bite to eat!" He hung up the phone.
Gohan fell over, anime style!
Finally an update! Yay! -Crickets sound in the background- Okay, nevermind. Anyhoo, sorry for not updating sooner, I was busy. If anyone's interested, I have another new story. It's a Vegeta/Bulma get together called A Prince and His Queen. Check it out if you want to.
