Chapter 3
Trunks finally arrived at C.C. Headquarters in America and slammed his brief case down on the Mahogany desk. He had had a rough flight and didn't even have time to check into his hotel until late last night. Still sleepy he sat down at the leather encased chair behind the desk. The office was tidy to the extreme. He must be some kind of weirdo Trunks thought as he opened up a drawer and found sets of paper clips lined up in neat rows. Smirking Trunks used a finger to scatter them before closing the drawer.
Sitting back in the chair he reviewed the schedule for the day. Meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting, lunch, interview, meeting. His eyes were drawn back to the second to last item on the list. Why would a V.P. bother with interviews? Curious he rang his secretary.
"Yes, Mr. Briefs?" The secretary breathed huskily.
"What is this interview for at 3:00?" Trunks asked.
"Oh! That is one of Mr. Phillips Community Projects. She was recommended by one of his golfing buddies for an internship here. I'd be happy to cancel it if you like." She said a little too eagerly.
Trunks rolled his eyes. "No, that's okay. Do you have any information on the applicant?"
"I'm not sure, I'll see what I can find."
"You do that." Trunks said hanging up. Golfing buddy huh? Trunks thought she's probably a Bimbo. Great that's all I need. Maybe I should just cancel it 'til Phillips is better. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. He stood up to greet his guests and begin his first meeting.

Pan woke up and stretched as she began her morning exercise routine. She took a quick shower and headed down for breakfast. Wolfing down her eggs and bacon she told her parents bye as she headed to the bus stop. It was so humiliating to travel like this, oh well if everything goes all right today maybe she'd be driving her own car soon.
She smiled thinking how hard it was for her to even get her drivers license. She had given up on her Dad and had coerced her Uncle Goten to teach her how to drive. Not that it had taken alot of arm twisting, Goten couldn't refuse her anything. She heard the annoying sound of air brakes and climbed on the bus. She cursed whoever she inherited her sensitive hearing from. She quickly took a seat near the front and looked out the window getting lost in her thoughts again. When her dad found out about the lessons he blew a gasket. Heck, she could of sworn that his eyes had even flashed different colors. Then her mom had grabbed his arm and calmed him down. He was so over protective of her. It really annoyed her sometimes even though she knew it was done out of love.
Thinking of Goten made her think of her grandparents. They were all so unusual. Her Grandpa Goku acted just like a little kid sometimes, and he could always make her laugh, whether intentional or not. And her grandma Chi-chi, she was always so full of energy. She could be a little high strung every now and then but I guess you have to be raising a house full of boys. And of course her Grandpa Hercule. She adored him, all his stories of how he defeated Cell. Not to mention he let her do anything and everything she wanted. Nothing was too good for his 'little Panny' he even bought her a brand new capsule car for her sixteen birthday present, too bad her father made him take it back. It had been an orange convertible too. Her favorite color. The bus ground to a halt and she hoped off eager to get through the morning.

Trunks had just finished shaking hands with their new ad agency exec. when his secretary popped in.
"Here's the file you wanted." She said handing him a plain manila folder.
Trunks took it and practically had to push her out the door. He put it in his brief case and decided to look at it during lunch. At the thought of food his stomach rumbled. Smirking he headed out the door. Informing his secretary that he would be back by three he headed to the elevator.
He decided to walk instead of driving, although he had brought several capsule cars with him. It was a beautiful day, he saw a deli up ahead and decided to order a sub. He sat at a booth near the back and quickly ate his meal. He received several appreciative glances from women but none were too forward. Guess I'm not as well known here as I am back home. He thought as he finished his meal.
Leaning back he pulled out the file folder and opened it. On top was a note from Mr. Phillips with his recommendation and a copy of her college transcripts. He glanced down the list noticing the difficult coarse of study she was taking and the high marks that she has received. His eyes trailed down to her name at the bottom and he looked at it closer. Son. I wonder if she's related to Goten? Now way he thought smiling as he thought of his naive friend. But then again Gohan was very intelligent and he did move to the states, hmm maybe it is Gohan's daughter. He didn't think she would be old enough for college yet but who knows. He smiled it would be good to see Gohan again he had talked to him only a couple of times since he moved and mostly for business reasons, he'd have to look into this.
He packed away his things and headed back to his office with a new bounce in his step. He glanced at his watch it was a quarter to three. He hopped on the elevator and took it up to the main floor. The door opened up into a hallway and he stepped out and sniffed. There was a wonderful fragrant scent filling his nostrils. What is that? He thought as he took another whiff. Mesmerized he followed the scent and was surprised to find it came from a young woman seated in a chair in his reception area. She had magnificent black hair and a trim body. She looked good in the peasant shirt with a long skirt. She looked very natural. He wasn't used to women like that. She was looking at a Capsule Corp. brochure of their latest designs and had not yet noticed him. Neither had his secretary who was on the phone giggling to someone. He was surprised to find that his feet had carried him over to the girl on their own accord and he was standing directly in front of her.
"May I help you?" He asked his voice coming out as a soft caress.
Pan jumped as she looked to see a man standing in front of her. Her eyes swept up over his body to his finely chiseled face. Surprisingly he had lavender hair and her mouth dropped open in shock as she realized who he was.
"Y-Your Trunks Briefs." She stammered as she silently cursed herself. She was such an idiot. Stuttering in front of Trunks Briefs! She felt her face turning pink.
Trunks smiled at her demeanor. "Yes, and you are?"
"Pan Son." Pan said standing up. She felt awkward with him having to look down at her. After she stood they both realized how close Trunks was actually standing to her. He took a step looking slightly taken back by his actions. Trunks held his hand out to her and she shook it firmly.
"Well Miss Son as my secretary should of informed you Mr. Phillips is out for personal reasons so I will be conducting your interview."
"Ah no I wasn't aware of that but that's fine." She said smiling brightly.
Trunks felt his knees weaken and quickly motioned for her to enter his office. He opened the door as he passed and thought that he saw her lean towards him a little and sniff as she walked by. He shut the door behind her after glaring at his secretary.
"Please have a seat." He told Pan as she looked around the office in awe. Her gaze stopped at the panoramic view from the large window. As if in a trance she walked up to the window and placed her hands on it as she looked down almost wistfully. Trunks figured that if he hadn't of been in the room she would of put her whole head against the glass. He smiled softly as he walked towards her.
"Beautiful." He said softly. Pan cocked her head to the side and looked at him she wasn't sure if her was referring to her or the view. She turned back to the window and spoke softly. "You can see the whole city from here."
He stood next to here as he looked down fifty stories below them. Trunks shrugged, he was more intrigued with the girl than the view. "You like heights?" He asked just so he could hear her lilting voice.
Pan finally turned from the window and nodded. "I love heights, it makes me feel like I can fly." She said kind of dreamily.
That's odd, I wonder why she can't fly.
Pan suddenly realized where she was "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to waste your time, I know your busy." Pan said moving over to the desk and sitting in front of it. Trunks moved to his chair and sat down facing her.
He smiled "Actually it's refreshing to meet someone with so much optimism. That's hard to find these days. I am curious though, how did you know who I was?"
Pan looked surprised "Are you kidding? I'm a Business Major, why shouldn't I know who the President of the largest company in the world is, besides, after I found out about the position I looked up additional information on Capsule Corporation's web site and it has your picture."
Trunks smiled "Well you have certainly done your homework, You come very highly recommended and your grades are impeccable. I think it would be our loss if you didn't accept the position."
Pan blinked at him. "That's it? Do you mean that I have the job?"
Trunks smirked "It's yours if you want it, of course we still have to work some details such as hours and compensation."
Pan smiled "Well I could be here at 2:00 every day and work as late as you need me, I would need weekends off however, my parents run a Dojo and I'll be teaching there on weekends."
"That's a pretty busy schedule are you sure that you can handle it?" Trunks asked.
Pan smirked "I never back down from a challenge."
"Great we'll start you out at 500 zeni a week."
Pan's eyes almost bugged out that was much more than she was expecting.
"Is that okay?" He asked at seeing her surprised look. Pan nodded unable to speak.
Trunks leaned back in his chair "Would you mind if I asked you a personal question?"
Pan shrugged "I guess not."
"Well you wouldn't happen to be related to Gohan Son would you?"
Pan looked surprised "He's my father, how do you know him?"
Trunks grinned "Our families go back a long way, I'm surprised that he didn't mention that to you before."
"So you guys were pretty close?" Pan asked.
Trunks smiled thinking of old times both bad and good. "Yes we've been through alot together, actually I know both of your parents, in fact your Uncle Goten is my best friend."
"That's amazing! Well why don't you come over for dinner tonight? I'm sure they would love to see you again." Pan said.
Trunks shook his head "I wouldn't want to intrude."
"Don't worry about it! My mom always makes enough food to feed an army."
"Well okay then, I'll tell you what I have another meeting scheduled it should only take a couple of minutes, I need you to fill out some forms for me anyway so you can do that and we can leave together. Is that fine with you?"
Pan nodded as she took the stack of papers from him she went back out to the waiting room and worked on filling them out as he called an older gentleman into his office.
Pan's mind whirled, she hoped that her parents wouldn't mind, I mean they're old friends right? They always encouraged her to bring her friends over to visit which she rarely did. She just didn't really have any close friends. They might be ticked off by her riding with a stranger but he knew her uncle Goten too. Although it was odd that none of them ever mentioned him. I mean if Trunks Brief's was HER best friend she would want everyone to know. And besides she could take care of herself, 'sides anyone that smelled that good couldn't be bad. Could they? His smell. She had never smelt anything that good in her entire life, it made her feel weird inside too. Kind of like when you eat fresh baked cookies.
A shadow passed over her and she found herself unconsciously inhaling deeply at the same time she realized that Trunks was standing in front of her. That was a quick meeting, she thought.
"I told you it would be fast." Trunks said as Pan looked up at him strangely.
She then looked down at her paperwork realizing that she hadn't even started it yet. She looked up "Ahh, I wanted to read it first before filling anything out." She explained hastily. Trunks smiled "That's okay, if you like you can take it home and fill it out."
Pan nodded thankfully as she followed him to the elevator.
