Chapter 16
Vegeta-sei
Trunks excused himself immediately, refusing to look at his father. For all Trunks cared it was his fault in the first place that Pan had left.
He heard footsteps behind him as he made his way to his wing and he heard a deep voice call after him.
"Prince Trunks!" Goten called after him. He was out of breath by the time he had caught up with the prince.
"What is it?" Trunks asked agitated. He definitely wasn't in the mood for Goten's carefree attitude. He needed to figure out how to get Pan back.
"I… I have an idea on how to get Pan back." Goten panted out and he bended over resting his hands on his knees and sticking his tongue out like a dog.
"Come." Trunks' commanded and he pulled Goten into his bedroom that they had now reached.
Pan and Prince Greg
Pan felt like crap. Prince Gregory looked her up and down.
"Are you done puking now?" He asked arms folded and head held high.
Pan wanted to shout something that wasn't so nice but bit her tongue holding back her words and staggered to her feet. She smoothed out her ruffled hair that had fallen in her pale face and gave him a defiant look and brushed past him out of the bathroom.
"Where are you going?!" He directed grabbing her arm and spinning her around.
"Away from you!"
"You don't go anywhere unless I tell you too. You're not on Vegeta-sei anymore."
"Actually, I'm not on any planet."
"Silence, don't back sass me."
"Sorry for telling the truth…" She mumbled.
Pan started to feel lightheaded and looked down at her arm that was now asleep from his hold.
"Could you please not stop the circulation in my arm?" She said louder and more sarcastically and yanked it from his hand.
"I will put you in order."
"Good luck with that." Pan was fighting to keep her sight focused and held her head.
"Are you okay?" he asked, grabbing onto her arm more lightly and balancing her as she swayed slightly.
"I'm fine." She said and she yanked away with the last bit of energy she had left, causing her to stumble backwards and he caught her.
"No you're not." He picked her up bridal style and Pan couldn't help but lay her head on his chest as he carried her down a hallway into a room.
She was laid down in a large bed and she tried to lift her head from the soft pillows.
"I know you would like to continue our argument, but you can barely stand. What's the fun in arguing with an unconscious girl?" He said pushing her back down.
"I'm fine."
"I'll be back later." He got up from the edge of the bed and walked out.
Pan stared at the ceiling after he left, tracing the patterns on it. Her eyelids drooped as she fought against the tiredness and she reflected back in her memories to Trunks.
She tried to remember his smell and the way it felt when they touched. She smiled slightly at the memories of the times when he told her he loved her.
She gave up and fell into a world of darkness and happy thoughts of the man she loved. She had no idea how she was going to get out of this situation.
Vegeta-sei
"What's the plan?" Trunks asked as he took a seat in the chair in the corner of the room.
"Well…" Goten said leaning up against the bed post, "I say we go after her…"
Trunks smacked his forehead, "Is that all you have? I came up with that the moment they said she was leaving!"
"I wasn't finished yet before you so rudely interrupted me." Trunks gave him a warning glare and Goten lowered his head a bit, "Look she's my niece and I love her too."
"I understand." Trunks said resting his head on the back of the chair and letting out an exasperated sigh, "What's the idea?"
"We take a little trip to Planet Peregrine."
"How are we going to get there? My dad won't let me anywhere near that planet unless I have a reason."
"Do you remember why Prince Greg came here in the first place?"
"He was training to become a king."
"Exactly, you haven't done yours yet right?" Goten asked giving him a mischievous smirk and nodding his head.
"No…oh I see where you going with this." Trunks said returning the smirk and the nod.
They had their plan mapped out within an hour.
"Great." Trunks said clapping his hands free of the fake dust and admiring him and Goten's written out plan, "Now we have to present this to my father."
"Do you think he'll buy it?" Goten asked looking at the prince.
"I have no idea." And with that Trunks walked out of the room towards his father's chambers.
Vegeta's Office
"Vegeta be reasonable!"
"Woman there's nothing I can do about it now, she's already gone."
"You shouldn't have let her go in the first place!"
"What was I supposed to say 'Hey my son's in love with her, you can't take her.'?"
"Umm…yeah?"
"No."
"Didn't you see how hurt he was?" Bulma asked as her motherly compassion poured out through her eyes that had now grew big and blue.
Vegeta only grumbled at this. He couldn't admit it to Bulma but he had seen the hurt in his son's eyes as the ship flew away and he saw the deception and betrayal that flashed through them as he turned and stormed away. Vegeta wouldn't admit it, but it had hurt him inside and if he could he would have made the girl stay.
Just then they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"The Prince wishes to speak with you." Vegeta had made out through the door.
"Let him in."
Trunks walked in head held high.
"Father, mother." He said bowing.
"Prince."
"I have come to ask a favor of you."
"Yes?"
"I would like to start my training to become a king."
"Where would you like to go?" Vegeta asked before thinking about Trunks' statement.
Trunks looked at his father knowingly.
"No." Vegeta asserted.
"But…" Trunks stuttered.
"No." He repeated.
"Vegeta." Bulma interjected.
"Woman."
"Trunks, we'll think about it." Bulma said, directing it to her son.
"No…" But Bulma shut Vegeta up with a kiss on the lips and Trunks took this opportunity to dash from the room with a thank you.
"Why would you do that?" Vegeta screamed when Bulma had finished.
"Because you are not ruining our son's chances at happiness, I'm getting the ship ready." And with that Bulma was walking out of the room. "Call the planet and tell them we'll be landing before their prince."
"How are we going to do that?"
"With the new prototype I built." And she smiled and left.
Vegeta called one of his servants to send the message. He couldn't believe he was going through with this.
Later…
Bulma had caught up with Trunks who was in his room sprawled out on his bed.
"Knock knock." She said as he entered the room and he lifted his head.
"Hello mother."
"Why are you just laying around, you have a ship to catch in 15 minutes."
"Are you serious?" He was standing in front of her now.
"Yep."
"Thank you. Thank you." He said giving her a bear hug and a kiss.
"Go." She said with a laugh and Trunks was headed out of the door to Goten's room.
"Let's go." He said when Goten opened the door.
"Where are we going?"
"To get Pan."
Pan and Prince Greg
Pan had awakened a little while later and she was feeling much better. She didn't know what was happening to her. She sat up in the bed and looked around.
At that moment Prince Greg had entered.
When Pan saw him, she threw her head back on the pillow and groaned.
"I was hoping it was just a dream." She grumbled as he approached.
"Nope honey, I'm all real." He said with a sly smile.
"It's Pan, NOT honey."
"I'm sorry sweetie." He said with a hint of mockery in his voice.
Pan took the pillow behind her head and smacked him across the face.
"No need for violence!" he said and mumbled to himself, "Looks like someone got their energy back."
"Humph." Pan snorted and crossed her arms after replacing the pillow in the rightful spot.
"Not very lady like are we?"
Pan just glowered at him. Her stomach growled.
"I figured you would be hungry after emptying your stomach in my toilet so I already had your food prepared. I was actually coming to wake you."
"That was nice of you. Is there anything you would like in return your highness?" Pan asked bitter sweetly.
"Well now that you asked…" But he didn't get to finish before Pan hit him over the head with the pillow again.
'Her ki is stronger now.' He thought as he rubbed his head, 'It's almost like it's not even her own.'
Pan sat up and crawled out of the bed. "Show me where the kitchen is." She ordered.
3 Days Later…
They felt the ship land. Finally Pan would be able to get some fresh air. Every morning on the ship she had been throwing up last night's meal and she was starting to think that it wasn't from the thought of Greg's face anymore.
She pushed her thoughts aside as she let Greg get off the ship before her. He had acted almost like a perfect gentleman to her. He had kept his perverted jokes to himself and had almost kept his hands to himself except for the couple of times they had 'accidentally' reached out and grabbed her butt or rubbed up against her chest that was now somehow bigger.
Pan was dreading walking out of the ship as she saw Greg hold out his hand to her. She ignored it and told him to keep walking. He shrugged it off and they both walked off the ship to a huge crowd of people.
Pan stared out in shock. Everyone was cheering and waving and balloons and confetti flew everywhere. How could this many people love Greg?
She scanned the crowd. Everyone looked the same, brown or blonde hair with blue or the same intense purple eyes that Greg had. Something caught her eye. She caught a glimpse of something that looked out of the ordinary of the identical crowd of people.
Purple and black!
She saw purple and black hair!
'It can't be!' She thought mouth wide. Greg looked in the same direction as her.
"TRUNKS!" They both screamed at the same time.
A/N: Is it really Trunks and Goten?
Is it possible that they can be there that fast?
Find out in the next chapter of… The Prince's Prize
Can you believe it has almost been a month? I feel horrible, but I can totally explain. I switched classes this semester so I'm piled with more homework than ever. I really have been trying to get this typed, you have no idea.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed and I hope the story seems realistic still (in some ways). Sorry if it's not that good, but I'll try to do better.
I kind of let you see Greg's 'nicer' side. Don't worry, its still T/P. Pan won't surprisingly fall in love with him… or will she?
DUN DUN DUN!
