A/N: …I apologize for the wait…I started school again and I have a lot of homework already…I also have three other stories I'm working on…so I'll try my best to get the new chapters up as soon as I can…
I'm thinking maybe one or two more chapters (unless someone has any ideas they want in the story) I'll end Secret last names.
Pan
My heart started to race when I saw both of my grandfathers at my school…
What if they saw me?
I tried to scoot behind Trunks as much as I could, but he noticed and sat me on his lap.
"Trunks! What are you doing?" I whispered to him angrily.
"What? You were the one who wanted to see these martial artists and now you're hiding from them?" Trunks whispered in my ear.
I grew silent and hoped to Kami that they wouldn't see me.
The gym grew quiet as the two started to talk.
"Hello high schoolers! You are in the presence of the mighty Satan Hercule" Hercule yelled to the teens.
"So…I guess we should show them some sort of martial arts move Hercule." Goku said to the cocky man.
"You're right Goku! Get ready!" Hercule told Goku as he dropped into his battle stance. Hercule ran at Goku, but before he reached the other man, he tripped and fell flat on his face.
The teens laughed, thinking that Hercule was joking around.
"Oh boy…" Goku sighed before looking around for a certain someone. He locked eyes with her and waved.
"Hey Pan! Why don't you come and help your grandfathers out, we sure aren't getting any younger." Goku called to his granddaughter.
I froze.
Should I go up?
But then Trunks would…
…who am I kidding…he was going to find out sooner or later…at least it wasn't as bad as if I was related to the Briefs…they were rich, famous, and just perfect…I'm only related to two of the world's best martial artists.
I stood and started to walk over to my grandfather, casting a glance over to Trunks, only to see shock clearly written on his face.
Trunks
I couldn't believe it…
…Pan was related to Son Goku? And Satan Hercule?
I smiled…well this was surely a turn of events.
No wonder why she didn't want to tell me her last name…
…she was just like me…not wanting friends that cared about your parent's fame…actually wanting friends that cared for you.
I watched as Pan walked to Goku and look down at her feet.
I didn't really pay attention to the martial arts demonstration and as soon as the assembly was over I ran over to Pan.
"Hey Pan." I said to her.
"Hey…look I'm sorry I never told you who I was related to…I just…" She paused obviously struggling on how to phrase the next part.
"Wanted friends that cared about you and not your money and famous parents." I finished for her and she looked at me surprised.
"Wha? But how did you know what I was thinking?" She asked me.
"I understand more than you think." I told her truthfully.
"Hey Trunks!" I heard an optimistic voice say. I turned to the man who had addressed me and waved.
"Hey Goku. How's Gohan?" I asked him, noticing the shocked look on Pan's face.
"He's good, studying a lot…so have you and Pan met?" He asked I nodded and he smiled.
"That's cool. How's Vegeta?" He asked, it made sense that he would want to know how his sparring partner was…and one of his best friends.
"He's fine, grumpy as usual…but that's inevitable." I said, making Goku laugh.
"You've got that right. How's Bulma?" This time he asked about my mother and his oldest friend. I glanced at Pan and noticed her eyes were wide and her jaw was dropped.
"She's doing well. Still getting mad at my father all the time…but that isn't going to change any time soon." I shrugged smiling…my family was weird.
"Wait a minute! What's going on here!?" Pan asked, trying to see if she had gotten something mixed up.
I chuckled, "I guess I should introduce myself fully…My name is Trunks Briefs." I said, extending my hand out to her.
Pan
I looked at Trunks' outstretched hand in wonder…
He was related to Bulma and Doctor Briefs…
"Son Pan…" I said grabbing his hand and shaking it. He pulled me into a hug and he held on.
"I hope this doesn't change our relationship." Trunks whispered in my ear…sometimes I wonder if he knows the effect it has on me.
"No, it doesn't." I said truthfully, thankful to finally get the truth off my chest.
He pulled back slightly, still holding me and looked into my eyes. He leaned in and I closed my eyes, knowing what he was going to do.
He brushed his lips against mine and I tangled my hands in his hair, holding him close as we deepened the kiss.
"Ahem…" We looked over to see that grandpa Goku still hadn't left and was watching us. I could feel the blood rush to my head in embarrassment. "Well…I should be getting home." Grandpa said before winking at us and leaving.
We stood there for a while.
"So are you really related to Bulma and Doctor Briefs?" I asked…I knew there weren't any other Briefs…but I wanted to be sure.
"Yeah, Bulma's my mother and Dr. Briefs is my grandfather." He reassured me.
"That's amazing…" Sure I seemed like a weirdo right then…but I just found out my best friend is related to the most intelligent people on earth…if not the universe.
I heard Trunks chuckle and shake his head. I started to get curious on why he was always shaking his head.
"Why do you always shake your head like that?" I asked him.
"…What do you mean?" I looked at him to see if he was joking.
"You always shake your head like…like your trying to clear your mind of all thoughts or something." Upon receiving a confused look it dawned on me he must not even realize he does it. I giggled and grabbed his hand.
"Let's get to lunch. I'm starving." His eyes lit up at the mention of food.
"Yeah! Let's go!" He pulled me along side him to the lunch room and we sat at our normal table.
During lunch we talked like normal, but there was something that was different.
"So now you know who I really am…you want to come to my house and meet my parents?" Trunks asked me.
"Oh…sure. I'll have to tell my parents and then I'll come over." I told him. I was positive that my dad would let me visit Trunks.
"I have to warn you though…my dad is sort of a grump…and when I say sort of I mean a total grump." Trunks told me with a smile.
"It doesn't bother me." I said, not really realizing how true Trunks was.
"Cool. I'll see you later today then…do you know where my house is?" I rolled my eyes.
"Of course…the humongous dome shaped building with Capsule Corp. on it in West
City. I think anyone could figure out where it is." I said sarcastically.
"Geez…it was just a question…you didn't have to be so mean…" Trunks said, trying to look hurt, but was instantly turned back into the happy go lucky boy I had a crush on.
And yes I said I had a crush on him.
The bell rang for us to go to our classes and Trunks and I departed. I was excited to actually meet Bulma and Dr. Briefs, they seemed like they would be nice people. The rest of the school day passed in a flash and I meet up with Trunks outside.
"Hey Trunks…do you mind if we stop at my house before we go to your house? I need to tell my dad I'll be at your house." I asked him.
"Why don't you just call him on your cell phone?" He asked me puzzled.
"I don't have a cell phone." I informed him.
"You can use mine." He extended his phone to me and I stared at it.
"We don't have a home phone…" I awkwardly explained.
"Oh…okay then…we can head to your house for a minute and then head to mine." Trunks said.
We walked away from the school and far enough away I could fly home with out being spotted…
Then I realized that I would probably have to carry Trunks if I were to fly…
"I'll race you there Pan." Trunks said with a smirk.
"Oh please…I'll beat you there without any challenge." I told him.
Trunks
"Oh really? I bet I could beat you there." I told her.
"Trunks…whatever but when I win, don't complain." Pan said cockily. When it came to challenges I was like my parents, very stubborn and never backing down.
"Fine. Ready…?" I asked, watching her. She nodded and she took off into the air and I took off right behind her.
"Wha!?" I heard her exclaim as she realized I was right behind her. I smirked at her before taking the lead.
I arrived before Pan and I enjoyed the surprised expression on her face.
"You never said you could fly." She said accusingly.
"You never asked." I chuckled and she glared at me.
"You still could've told me." She said grumpily.
She walked to the front door and went inside, she paused to turn and look at me.
"Aren't you coming?" She asked me.
"Nah…I'll wait out here." I told her, she nodded and went inside. I started to think about all those years ago when Goten and I had been inseparable.
I chuckled to myself, we were like hell on wheels.
Flashback
Goten and I were two and three respectively, and Goten had been practicing on walking without falling. We were at Capsule Corp and had managed to escape our parents ever watchful eyes. We found our way to my grandfather's lab and were searching the room thoroughly. Goten had managed to find some strange chemical and accidentally spilled some on Gohan's clothes…poor Gohan had purple marks all over his arms for the next few weeks.
It was the day of the Tenkaichi Budokai, and after I won the junior division, I convinced Goten to help me knock out Mighty Mask and fight in his place. We had originally thought our name was Spopovich, and we ended up making a fool of ourselves. We would have won if it wasn't for Eighteen.
A day later we were training for fusion and since Piccolo had made up wake up early, I asked Piccolo to demonstrate the fusion dance…we really didn't need to see it again, I just wanted to see Piccolo make a fool of himself.
We had to fuse three times before we managed to do it correctly. My father and Goten's father had managed to kill the evil Majin Buu and we were both excited to have our fathers alive again.
End Flashback
I started to wonder when we started to fall apart from each other. We had been so close and now…I hadn't seen him since I was…eleven? Seven years ago…
I sighed and wondered if I should try talking to him or not.
"Hey Trunks." I jumped in surprise and turned to whoever addressed me.
"Oh…hey Gohan. How are you?" I asked the older demi-saiyan.
"I'm well, and you?" He asked me with a smile, just like his father's.
"I'm well." I told him.
"You seemed to be in deep thought." I nodded.
"I was just wondering when Goten and I fell apart…" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"…Well…it kind of seems like you fell apart after he meet Valise…" I looked at Gohan in surprise.
"Oh…" It kind of hurt my feelings to know that Goten had chosen a girl over his best friend.
"Did you want to see him?" Gohan asked me and I paused.
"Trunks! I'm ready to go." I looked at Pan who had just come out of the house. Gohan smiled at me.
"I'll take that as another time." Gohan waved goodbye and returned to the house.
"Ready?" I asked Pan. She nodded and we flew off towards my landed outside my house and I saw Pan look around the yard in wonder.
Pan
We landed outside Capsule Corp and I was surprised to see how big the building actually was. I looked at Trunks and he was smirking at me.
"It's pretty big isn't it?" Trunks asked me and all I could do was nod in agreement.
"Oh hello Trunks dearie. Can you come over here for a sec and help me?" I heard a feminine voice say. I looked over at her and saw a blonde woman in her forties or fifties.
"Yeah grandma…" Trunks turned to me, "I'll be back in a sec…" He told me before heading over to his grandmother.
I continued to look around the property and I had managed to wander off to another section of the yard.
"Well, well, well…what do we have here? A lone female…or perhaps an easy target?" I gulped as I froze. I could feel whoever had said this was right behind me, and he had a deep not friendly sounding voice. I trembled as I started to wonder what I should do…
…my mind was yelling at me to run…
…but instincts were saying to stay still…he may be one to chase his prey…
A/N: I'm really sorry I haven't updated any of my stories for a while…school's kind of kicking my butt right now. I'm hoping I'll have more time in the future…I finally had one day without homework so I had some spare time to type this chapter. I'm guessing that I may have one more chapter (and possibly an epilogue). For anyone that reads my other fic, Blue Angel, I haven't started working on it…so it will be awhile for the next chapter to come out.
I'd love to hear what you thought of this chapter…I'm sorry if some parts didn't flow right since I started working on this chapter about a month ago, I got half way through it, stopped and picked up about a month later…So feel free to tell me if a part doesn't seem right or if the whole chapter is no good at all.
