Chapter 33

Pan was silent as Trunks drove to the restaurant. She couldn't believe

how much has happened in her life in such a short amount of time. Trunks

kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

He was slightly worried. She had been unusually quite since he had

proposed and he was worried she might be changing her mind.

"Are you sure your alright?" He asked for the third time.

Pan looked over at him forcing a smile. "Yeah, I'm just hungry and tired.

I would kill to sleep in a real bed."

Trunks smiled in relief as she laid her head back on the headrest and

closed her eyes.

"We'll I'll feed you and get you into bed. We can shop later." Trunks

said smiling at her.

Pan's eyes shot open at his words and he blushed realizing how it came

out sounding.

"Ah, no.. I mean I didn't mean it like that!" He blurted out flustered as

a teenager.

Pan giggled, "I know what you meant." She looked thoughtful for a minute

and then took in his disheveled appearance. "We'll I guess it would be okay

to snuggle."

"Your offer is accepted and we're here." Trunks said as they pulled up in

front of a fancy restaurant.

Pan gasped, "I've ate here with my parents before, we can't go in their

dressed like this!"

Trunks came around to open her door for her. Before she could object he

leaned down and kissed her gently. "I think you look beautiful." He

grasped Pan's hand and led her to the front door of the establishment.

The host looked down his nose at them as they entered.



"I'm sorry sir but this is black tie only, I believe there is a

McDonald's down the road that may be more suited to your taste." He said

with a scowl.

Pan felt Trunks power level rising with his anger and grabbed his arm

trying to calm him down. Trunks looked down at Pan and patted her hand on

his arm.

He smiled at her and then looked up to glare at the man in front of him.

"You're fired." Trunks stated rather calmly and both Pan and the host's

eyes widened.

"Mr. Briefs? I'm sorry I didn't recognize you! Well we have a private room

in the back if like for you and your friend."

Trunks smirked, "That would be fine." He said as he and Pan followed the

still shaking man.

Bra groaned as the light eking through her window awakened her. And she

was having such a good dream too. Bra smiled as her hand drifted to her

neck. She felt the tenderness there and the two small wounds still fresh

and she sat up quickly. She wasn't dreaming.

She frantically searched the room Goten not finding him she began to

panic.

"Goten?" She called out softly.

Her door was kicked open and Goten appeared carrying a tray laden with

food. He saw Bra's panicked face and quickly put the tray down and went to

her pulling her into his arms.

"I thought you left me." Bra said as she clung to him.

Goten chuckled the sound vibrating through his chest and against her

cheek. "Never."

Bra looked up and smiled at him before pulling his face down to meet her

mouth. She heard a soft growl escape him and pulled him down on the bed as

breakfast was forgotten.

****************************************************************



Bulma had gotten up early to work in her lab. It helps to keep her

mind busy. She still could not believe that Vegeta had left her after all

these years.

"Quit feeling sorry for yourself." She mumbled to no one.

She was grateful for Bra and Goten's company although they spent most

of their time in their room. It was better than being alone.

She doubted that Vegeta's pride would allow him to come back anytime soon

if ever. He could be such an ass sometimes, well most of the time

actually.

She sighed wondering how her future self coped. Well, If she could

do it so can I. Bulma thought to herself smiling sadly as she bent over her

current project.

****************************************************************

Vegeta sat on a cliff over looking the desert. It reminded him of his

homeland. He closed his eyes trying to clear his mind. Unconsciously he

sought the familiar ki's. He could feel his daughters ki elevated at the

moment and quickly discarded it. His other brat was with Kakarot's spawns

spawn.

At least he made a good choice. Of course this planet didn't offer many

choices. That's why he wanted to look elsewhere.

Of course he had no transportation so he was stuck on this forsaken

planet. Stupid planet. Stupid humans.

He opened his eyes. So much for meditating he didn't know how the Namek

did it. Sitting around doing nothing all day. He needed excitement,

challenges.

He supposed that was the reason he stayed with the woman for so long.

The constant conflict was always refreshing. Of course that was the only

reason he was with her. Well that and the coupling. But besides that he

had no use for her.

Well maybe to fix things here and there.... What was he doing?? He came

up he to clear his mind of the past and move on and he had done nothing of

the sort.

He didn't need the woman or brats or their idiotic mates. He needed no

one. He was a warrior.

Smirking he flew in to the air to start his work out.

****************************************************************

Gohan and Videl stood in their living room. Goku had IT'd them home

after they decided they didn't want to go refrigerator shopping with them.

Videl looked at her husband.

"Do you smell something?" Videl asked.

Gohan nodded "It's burnt rice. I should know." He said from years of

experience.

Videl huffed, "Well just for that YOU can cook!" She said stopping up

the stairs and slamming their bedroom door.

Gohan shook his head. Women.

He walked into the kitchen finding the mess. He thought about apologizing

to Videl so she could clean it up and meekly climbed the stairs.

****************************************************************

Pan stretched and yawned as she pushed herself back from the table.

She could barely see Trunks on the other side over the pile of dishes in

between them. The meal had been heavenly.

She had questioned him earlier about his owner ship in the restaurant

and he had only laughed saying he owned several and that Saiyans were big on

food.

Trunks watched as Pan yawned for the third time. Wiping his mouth with

the cloth napkin he came around the table and swooped her up in his arms.

"Trunks!" She chastised sleepily.

Trunks kissed her forehead. "I think it's time to get you back home." He

said quietly.

He really wanted to take her back to his home, but he didn't have one at

the moment. His hotel he was staying at was destroyed, the capsule house

wasn't permanent, and capsule corp. would be too awkward.

'Sides she would be more comfortable in her own bed until he could make

other arraignments.

He felt Pan snuggle closer to him in sleep and he smiled as he headed out

the door.



Trunks settled Pan into the front seat next to him and buckled her in.

He drove her carefully home.

After arriving he once again scooped her sleepy form up and carried her

to the door. He was about to wake he and ask her for her key when the door

swung open and Gohan stood their eyeing him suspiciously.

"Tell me you didn't." He said dryly.

"Ah, we didn't." Trunks wasn't sure if he thought they got married or

what but he wasn't about to ask.

His answer seemed to please Gohan and he stepped aside allowing Trunks

and his burden passage. Trunks unwilling to carry her up to her room with

her father watching gently placed her on the couch and sat near her head.

"Oh hello!" Videl said as she came down the stairs, She glared at Gohan,

"You didn't tell me we had company."

Gohan rolled his eyes as he plopped down into a chair and Videl sat on

the love seat near Trunks.

"Is Pan okay?" She asked in concern. Gohan had told her about the room

of spirit and time and how difficult it was staying there.

Trunks nodded. "Yeah we just went out to eat, I think she's just

exhausted." Gohan glared at him and Trunks tried to focus on Videl instead.

"Have you made any plans?" Videl asked him leaning forward eagerly for

gossip.

"Well we agreed upon some things, but I'm sure Pan would want to tell you

herself." Trunks said feeling Gohan's gaze boring into him.

"Of course," Videl said trying to hide her disappointment. Then she

perked up "Did you hear Bra and Goten got mated? They're staying at

capsule corp."

Trunks shook his head. "It's still kind of strange to think about."

"I agree." Gohan said and winced when Videl kicked him.

"At least Bulma isn't alone." Videl added.

Trunks eyes narrowed, "Vegeta still hasn't come back?"

"No, Dad can't even locate his ki."

Trunks said nothing. Absent-mindedly he began to play with Pan's hair.

He had thought about going out and looking for him, but what then? If Goku

couldn't locate him what chance did Trunks have? He wouldn't listen to

Trunks anyway. He never has. Besides he didn't want to leave Pan. He was

unsure of their future. Yes they were getting married but what then.

He felt a hand on his face and looked over to see Pan looking up at

him, her eyes still sleepy. He sucked in his breath, gosh she was

beautiful.

Pan smiled "You are too."

He leaned down to kiss here and then stopped half way looking over to her

parents. He was surprised to find them gone.

Smiling he leaned down and kissed her gently. She smiled up at him.

"You said we could snuggle."

Trunks grinned, "I would never break a vow to you my love." He said

picking her up AGAIN and carrying her upstairs as Pan giggled.
