Orange Star High School- The Legacy Continues...

Author Notes: I haven't updated this since last year! I'm so sorry to all my readers, some of which may have lost hope in this Fic. Thanks to the reader who e-mailed me about this Fic! For a while, I just couldn't come up with a good enough chapter, infact, I'm still not entirely happy with this chapter but it'll do. Hope you like it!

Chapter 20 – Happiness Subdued

"It's...Trunks," the voice finally answered in a low voice.

Pan could feel her eyes widening and she let out a breath of air. Playfully, she reached out and gave Trunks a shove.

"Kami Trunks, you scared me to death!"

Trunks chuckled nervously, "Well, uh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, it's just..." His voice trailed off and Pan looked to him, a grin spreading across her face.

"You're hiding something," She concurred.

"Yeah, and obviously you are too," Trunks replied with a smirk, "Or is hiding in closets a hobby of yours?"

Pan's smile faltered. He had her there. And there was no way that anyone was going to see her like this...

"Okay, well, are we just going to sit here for the rest of our lives?" Pan finally spoke up after a moment of silence.

I wouldn't mind. Trunks thought to himself but stopped himself before he could say it.

"I guess not..." He spoke.

Pan sighed, "You're right. Besides, it's not as if other seniors don't look like...this," She looked down at the clothing she was wearing and made a face, although Trunks couldn't see.

Trunks arched an eyebrow. Exactly what was Pan hiding? His curiosity was raised and just as he opened his mouth to speak, the door to the closet burst open then quickly closed again, another person entering the dark room.

"Huh?" The voice spoke up, feeling the presence of another body in the small room. "Don't tell me this closet's taken!"

Pan's eyes grew wide as she recognized the voice. "Goten!"

"Goten!" Trunks repeated, his eyes taking on the same shape as Pan's.

Goten sighed and squeezed in next to Pan, "For Kami's sake, what is this, national hide in a closet day!"

"What are you doing in here anyway?" Pan asked, frowning at the tight space in which she was in.

Goten sighed once more. "I came in here to develop my pictures."

Trunks' eyes returned to their normal state and were replaced by a look of confusion, "Pictures?"

"Goten, there's a thing called One Hour Photo," Pan spoke up, "ever heard of it?"

"I know, but I need practice if I'm going to be doing this myself one day," Goten replied, holding up his camera which hung loosely around his neck.

"Doing what yourself?" Trunks asked.

Goten let his camera hang freely once again and smiled, "I finally decided what I want to do for a living guys. I'm going to be a photographer!"

"Wow, that's great Goten," Pan replied, a slight hint of sarcasm in her tone. It seemed that every time her uncle decided on a career, it changed. Every two months in fact. She only hoped this one would be a keeper.

"A photographer, hmm...who'd thought," Trunks spoke up in a low tone.

Goten, not seeming to notice Pan's sarcasm or Trunks' low response, nodded happily and looked down at his camera. "This is definitely what I want to do."

The room fell silent for a second time until Goten spoke up again.

"Guys, why are we in the dark?"

"You're just now noticing that?" Trunks asked, looking at his friend in awe.

Goten nodded, "Yeah..."

"It's because we don't want anyone to see us dressed up as fools," Pan answered with a sigh.

Trunks nodded in agreement.

"Oh come on guys, it can't be that bad."

"You have no idea," Trunks responded, shaking his head.

Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared on Goten's face as he reached toward the light switch. "Oh, but I think I do!"

"Goten, no!" Pan called out, but it was too late. Goten had already switched the light on and the room was slowly becoming engulfed in light.

Immediately, Goten's eyes adjusted to the sudden light and he stared at both of his friends before falling out in hysterics onto the floor.

Trunks and Pan blushed deeply as they watched Goten roll around on the closet floor.

The two slowly turned and faced each other and their eyes widened.

"Trunks..."

"Pan..."

The two trailed off slowly then suddenly burst into laughter along with Goten, for both looked ridiculous. Pan was dressed as a guy, her pants baggy and covering her shoes completely, her shirt so low it hung to her knees, and her hair ruffled up and covered with a hat.

It was however Trunks that took the cake. His high heeled shoes and dress was no doubt one of the funniest things both Son members had ever bare witness to...

As soon as Trunks' laughter wavered off, he frowned as he looked at Pan and Goten, both of which who were still shaking with laughter. He sighed and crossed his arms. He knew his outfit had been the worst in school!

Later on that day…

Angelina giggled madly as the boy she stood next to whispered flirtatious things in her ear.

She peered around the room a moment, glancing around for Goten. Thankfully, he was no where to be seen and she turned her attention back to the boy, her giggles spreading throughout the hall.

Goten waved off Pan and Trunks and started for his locker, his camera closely in hand.

He was lost in his own thoughts as he almost mindlessly twirled through his combination and opened his locker, pulling out a few books and placing a few back.

As he pulled out a book, a note suddenly slipped out and he caught it just before it hit the floor.

Curiously, he looked at it and smiled. It was an old note from Angelina that he still had. He just couldn't bear to throw the thing away however. Just looking at her curvy cute handwriting made him think in which in return made him turn to jelly.

Sighing happily, he closed his locket shut and turned to start back down the hallway where Trunks and Pan awaited toward the front of the school.

It wasn't until he turned the corner did he see it.

Angelina stood giggling and flirting happily against a locker, another tall senior next to her, whispering in her ear.

Goten stopped dead in his tracks, taking a moment to absorb the scene. He blinked a few times, making sure what he was seeing what real. His eyes opened once again and stared back at the scene unbelievably.

No, it couldn't be. She wouldn't do this to him. She couldn't.

He looked back again. Angelina stood still chatting with the guy, totally oblivious to everything that was going on around her.

Maybe it's just a friend, Goten told himself, continuing to stare. But no, it couldn't be. Friends didn't speak to each other like that. That wasn't just chatting, it was flirting.

Flirting, when she was supposed to have a boyfriend already.

Feeling his heart sink, Goten slowly reached toward his camera, holding it to his eye, focusing closely on Angelina and the other guy. His vision becoming blurred by forming tears, he quickly pressed down on the button.

The camera flashed, signaling that the picture had been taken and Goten lowered the camera back down to his chest, still staring at Angelina, this time darkly.

Surprised by the flash, Angelina looked up and gasped slightly as her eyes locked on with Goten's. For a moment, neither blinked until finally, Goten turned the corner and continued on his way, not once glancing back at Angelina.
