When we last left off…
Pan turned back around and kept pressing his groin against hers. She placed her hands back on his neck but put one behind his neck playing lightly with the sweat drops that were sliding down his neck. Trunks but his hand right above her butt, feeling the sweat dampening her tunic and pushed her into him more. Pan started to pull his face towards hers looking directly at his lips. She slid her other hand to cup his cheek and kept nearing her face towards his.
When their noses touched, the song ended and both took in a surprised gasp and pulled away from each other blushing furiously. Both avoided each others gaze and walked off the dance floor without a word.

Pan woke up with one of the worst hangovers she has ever experienced. Worst hangover was putting it lightly. More like her brain was trying to claw its way out of her skull and her stomach acid was eating away at her intestines. It took her a nanosecond to realize that she better start running towards the bathroom or else her sheets were going to be covered in whatever was crawling up her throat.
She threw the covers off her and ran to the bathroom. She threw the door open and bent over the toilet just in time to throw up her stomach's contents. She sat on the bathroom tile feeling how terribly cold it was against her naked legs. NAKED LEGS?! Pan looked down to see herself in only her black lace bra and thong. She frowned thinking how she got to be half naked.
There were two knocks on the open bathroom door and Pan turned to see Uub standing in the doorway with a glass of water and a bottle of pills. He walked over handing her the glass of water while he struggled opening the bottle.
"Want me to get them?" Pan looked up at him with a lazy smile.
Uub stopped biting the cap and just handed her the bottle. "So I'm guessing you feel like shit?"
"Yeah." Pan popped two 500 mg. antihistamines into her mouth and took a couple of gulps of water to wash them down. She didn't care if it killed her liver. She just wanted the headache to stop. "So, what happened last night? I can remember up to the part where me and Tru… you finished dancing."
"Well, we all were a bit too drunk and decided it was time to call it a night. So Trunks' limo drove us to my place and here we are. I hope you don't mind that I took your clothes off. I didn't think you sleeping in your club clothes would be comfortable." He leaned against the door frame and shrugged a little too gracefully.
"You like taking my clothes off." Pan smirked and leaned against the Jacuzzi sized tub letting the coldness of it bring goose bumps to her arms.
"Is that an invitation?" Uub pushed himself away from door frame and took a step forward, the darkness of his manly thoughts taking over his eyes.
Pan chuckled and put a hand out to stop him. "I'm way too hung over for sex right now."
Uub pretended to look hurt and pouted. "Ouch. Denied."
"Damn straight. Now, I have to go get ready. I have work to do today."
"What work do you have to do? I thought the only work you had was a show on Friday." Uub was confused and started to get suspicious. "Do you have a date with someone?"
Pan frowned getting frustrated and looked up at him. "No. Now leave so I can get ready."
"Fine." Uub closed the door as he walked out and left Pan shaking her head.
"That boy is acting weird."

Coming out of the shower, Pan grabbed a pair of destroyed skinny jeans and a white tank top and slipped them on. She then took out a black blazer jacket and slipped it on after seeing the black clouds roll over Orange Star City. She got her black flats out and put them on. Looking herself over, she liked her outfit enough and proceeded to put her wet hair in a bun and bobby pinned any stray hairs. She applied mascara and a bit of blush and walked out of Uub's room only to hear yelling and screaming.
Pan closed his bedroom door and stopped hearing yelling at the end of the hallway. She stood there trying to figure out who it was.
"I'm not going to keep arguing about this. Who… the fuck was it?" A man's voice sounded completely raged.
"No one. God! Why won't you believe me?!" A woman's voice sounded angry but a bit scared.
"I smell someone else on you and you expect me to believe that you were with no one else?! I'm not fucking stupid, Marron!" Pan's eyebrow raised. Marron? What was Marron doing here?
"Trunks, please. Just hear me out…" This time, both of Pan's eyebrow's shot up. Trunks and Marron? Here? Fighting?
"Then tell me why you smell of someone else's cologne. I never left you out of my sight, Marron, so you didn't dance with anyone. The only time I left you alone was when you went to the bathroom. Now that I think about it, you took quite a fucking while."
"Trunks…"
"Save it Marron. You're lying. I know it."
"Trunks, I…"
"Listen to me and listen fucking good. You either a, ran off with someone for a while, or b, fucked someone while you, I quote, went to the bathroom. Which one was it?"
"Trunks, I didn't…"
"Do not fucking tell me you didn't do anything bad! I smell a man on you and it isn't me. You're little shit story of just going to the bathroom and waiting in a very long line while someone probably had diarrhea is bullshit."
"What do you want me to say?!"
"The truth. All I want is the fucking truth."
"That's all you want? Just the simple truth?" Pan had to strain to hear this since Marron only said it softly. Yeah she felt guilty of eavesdropping, but it was juicy drama she walked into.
"Ok, fine." Pan strained even more to hear but couldn't hear anything that was said.
"WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU FUCKING THINKING!? GOD! I can't believe this! I can't believe you! I can't believe I'm dealing with you! Go back home, get your stuff, and leave. NOW!"
"Trunks, please, don't do this."
"Go."
Marron ran out of the bedroom and Pan quickly turned around hoping she wouldn't see her standing in the middle of the hall. Pan started walking downstairs since Uub's condo was 2 stories high and topped one of the highest buildings in the city. As Pan was nearing the stairs, Trunks came out of the same bedroom Marron came out of and gave Pan a very tired smile. Pan smiled back and walked down the stairs not waiting to see what would happen.
"Pan?"
Pan stopped and turned back looking up at Trunks. "Yeah?"
"Umm, I was wondering if you wanted to umm, have dinner with me tonight. I mean, if you're busy it's fine. I don't want you canceling anything for me or maybe you're just busy or…"
"That'd be great. Pick me up at 7." Pan turned back around and went to fix herself some breakfast.

Monday morning downtown was always filled with people in suits and suitcases hurrying to get to their office jobs. Orange Star City had come a long way since she was a little girl going to school here. With the growth of Capsule Corp, the city became a prosperous business city. Although the smaller competitions were no match to compete against Capsule Corp, they still managed to be help out Capsule Corp and in return they helped them. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.
Pan walked down Main St. and headed into the first bridal boutique she saw. The Pretty Lady sounded promising, right? Wrong. Pan walked in, took a glance and walked out immediately. The dresses seemed to only dress nuns. Not that they would marry.
Next, she came to another boutique called Wedding Lights. She walked in and liked instantly what she saw. The variety of dresses was exactly what she was looking for. She quickly took her phone out and pounded Bra's number in.
"Hello?" Answered Bra.
"Hey, it's Pan. I found a boutique on Main St. Get here now! I need the advice of a fashion guru! The place is called Wedding Lights."
"Oh, I've heard of that place. I'll be there in about 10 minutes. I'm right down the street at Capsule Corp."
"Ok, see you soon."
The hung up and Pan started looking at dresses on mannequins walking around them. The little islands that the mannequins were on were scattered throughout the large store making it seem like people dancing. Pan stopped to look at one and liked the halter top front but didn't like the covered back.
30 minutes later, Bra walks in and looks flushed. Pan eyes her carefully and starts laughing at her. "I think I know why you were late missy."
Bra looked surprised and smirked. "Oh, well then, by all means take a guess."
"Did it have anything to do with a certain family member of mine whose name starts with a G but ends with oten?"
Bra giggled and nodded. "Yep. That's exactly right."
After a few hours of trying on dresses, Pan was getting annoyed and frustrated at the same time. According to Bra, if she didn't find a dress in this boutique, she wouldn't find one in any other one.
"Pan, if you don't find one here, you're gonna have to travel to Paris or something. This is the only boutique with really nice dresses."
Pan raised her eyebrow and looked at Bra through the mirror while glancing at the dress she was wearing. The off the shoulder look didn't quite make it for her. "May I ask how you would know that little detail?"
Bra noticed what Pan meant by that and blushed furiously. "Well, as soon as Goten pops the question, I want to get married right away. He's been hinting here and there so I decided to look for a dress beforehand."
Pan laughed and turned around to look at Bra and extended her arms. "Yes or no?" Bra shook her head and Pan turned to the fitter and asked her to get her next choice ready. The fitter only gave a tired sigh and murmured something about white hairs appearing. "And, I'm sure he's gonna pop it soon. He loves you. As for the dress shopping, I don't blame you. Look at me. I've been browsing wedding magazine since I met Uub."
Bra laughed and waited for Pan to come back with the final dress. If Pan didn't like this one, she would have to fly to Paris as soon as possible and find one. The fitter came back and pulled Pan down from the pedestal only to drag her down the hall into the fitting room. Bra laughed but quickly covered it with a cough when Pan turned around to glare.
Bra started dozing off when she heard Pan clear her throat. She looked up and gaped at the final dress. The strapless white dress was tight fitted on top but not enough to squish her boobs. The multi-layers of the skirt flared out in a mixture of cloth and silk chiffon giving it a slight shimmer. Diamonds were sowed into the top in exquisite detail and the bottom hem of the skirt was encrusted in thousand of diamonds.
Bra gasped. "Oh my God! This is totally you! My vote goes to this one."
Pan turned around and looked into the 3 panel mirror as she gave a couple of poses to see every aspect of the dress. "You're right. This is me and I really love it. But what about the rest? The head piece? The hair-do? The shoes? I'm freaking out, aren't I?"
Bra giggled. "It's just pre-wedding jitters. It'll be fine Pan. You'll look absolutely beautiful."
"I hope so. Oh, guess what?" Pan turned around as the fitter adjusted the hem of her skirt with pins.
"What?" Bra said not looking up from the wedding magazine.
"I have a dinner date with your brother tonight."
Bra jaw hung as her head lashed up to meet Pan's eyes. "You do?!"
Pan nodded and gave her a big smile. "I guess it would be a good time to settle some thing we haven't, you know, settled."
"You know, it would be a good thing. He's always wondered, you know. What would've happened if…" In that moment, Bra's phone went off. She scrambled to and picked opened it, not even looking at the ID.
"Yeah… Hello? Oh hi Marron… what's wrong? oh my God… seriously… but why… oh… it's fine if you can't talk about it… sure.. yeah I'll be at your parents as soon as I can… ok… bye."
"Pan, did you know Marron got kicked out of Trunks' place?"
Pan faked looking surprised. "Really? Oh, how… awful."
"Yeah, I'm gonna head out to her place right now. That's if it's OK. I mean, I know I was supposed to help you look for a hairdresser and go for your shoes, but…"
"It's fine Bra." Pan gave her a reassuring smile. "We can do that tomorrow. I have to go get ready for that thing with Trunks. Maybe I can find out what happened between him and Marron."
Bra's face glowed. "Oh, that'd be so great! I owe you. See you later!" Bra blew her a kiss and scurried out of the shop leaving Pan to ponder on her dinner date. I hope it all goes well.

That day was one of the busiest days for Pan. She already got a caterer, for once letting the woman in her family enjoy eating and not cooking. Although she told them that 500 people were eating when in reality, only about 50 were going to attend the reception. Pan has never told any of her friends or even Uub about her being a quarter sayian. She and Uub have a very open relationship but she has never gotten the courage to tell him that a quarter of her blood was alien.
Apart from the caterer, Bulma gave her a number to call for the hall and decorations. Pan called and it was settled that it would take place in a club which she rented out for that whole day. Outside the 4 room club was a 1 acre large garden complete with fountains.
After a full day of getting every aspect of the club ready, she had about 1 hour to get ready for her date with Trunks. She didn't like calling it a date but she couldn't think of anything else to call it. She took a quick 5 minute shower and spent 30 minutes blow drying her hair straight giving it volume and a curl at the end. She put on a white strapless tight short dress with black stripes of different widths and black pointy toed 4 inch spikes. She applied two coats of mascara, a bit of bronzer on her cheeks and nude lip gloss. She painted her nails a chic sparkly black color and decided she was ready.
She sat on her couch in the meeting room while she fumbled with her hands waiting for Trunks to get there.
"Maybe he got lost." She mumbled to herself taking a look through the peep hole. "Or maybe he backed out." She took another look through the peep hole. "What if he's with Marron and they're making up." Another look. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." Once more, another look. "It's 7 o' clock and he's still not here." Look. "Why am I so nervous?" Look. "I never get this nervous." Look. Pan stopped and began pondering to her self. Half way through her thoughts, the doorbell rang.
She forced herself to wait a couple of seconds before walking up casually to the door. She fixed her dress, moved her hair from her face, and took one hell of a deep breath.

A/N: Here's a nice spot to stop. If I went on to the dinner, then this chapter would be too long for my liking. I'm trying to keep each chapter to about 3000 words each and the date would go well in the 4 or 5 thousand. So review please! I'm really trying to keep this updated as soon as I can possibly update!
