Pan was slightly bored listening to Marron and Kailey's conversation about what they were going to wear, what they were going to do…
'Maybe I'll go to the training room. That seems more interesting…'
Pan was about to but into their conversation of what they were going to dress her up in, but Trunks got there first. Not caring about being rude he blurted "Pan, I need to talk with you."
Startled Pan just followed.
Trunks didn't stop walking when they were out of the kitchens, nor did he stop at his and Goten's room…
"Where are we going?" Pan asked, confused.
"I need to talk to you privately, it's important." He replied going a little bit red. Pan said no more just followed him.
Suddenly he stopped, Pan almost ran into he's back. They were at Trunks' room… 'What's going on… why are we here…' thought Pan to herself. Trunks motioned for Pan to sit on his bed, after they entered the room.
'That's the bed from my dream…' she thought as she sat.
"I don't know how to start…" he began red as a tomato. "Is this true?" He held up the paper with the letter Pan wrote.
Pan was stunned "Where… but… how... my pocket!" was all that Pan could manage to say.
"Pan please tell me…" asked a very embarrassed Trunks quietly.
"was yours?" she asked looking him directly in the eye, going a little red in the cheeks.
"Yes." Was all he breathed starting her back in the eye.
"Mine was too." Replied Pan, unsure what would happen next.
Trunks said nothing nor did he move, Pan broke the gaze looking down at her fidgeting hands.
She was about to say something when she saw Trunks' hands grab one of her own, before Pan knew it, she was up on her feet, looking into Trunks eyes. Trunks eyes began to close and he moved forward, Pan could feel him millimetres from her lips as she closed her eyes and leaned in herself.
'This feels so right' she thought as the kiss began to get a little more heated. Pan slowly began to move her hands up and around Trunks' neck just as he put his hands around her waist.
Pan broke the kiss "So… what happens now?" she whispered to him. Without opening his eyes he answered.
"What ever you want to happen." Pan gave a light smile and gave him another kiss. It was Trunks who had the next question.
"So… are we a couple now?" He felt a little silly asking but it needed to be asked.
Pan thought about it for a few moments. "Yes.. but let's hold off telling Marron and everyone."
"Why?" Trunks questioned.
"One, when the other nurses found out you talked to me… I got glares and them being snobbish." She paused while Trunks gave her a surprised look. "Two, I think it might be fun to trick everyone. I know Uncle Goten and Marron are planning something to do with us…" she smiled and winked at Trunks, he grinned back then leaned in for another kiss.

'She's perfect!' thought Trunks as they parted separate ways coming out of his room. Pan and him and been secretly see each other for that last couple of days now.
Trunks couldn't help himself he had to look back and watch her walk away. 'I just love everything about her…' he sighed out loud as she turned a corner. Trunks continued back towards the hospital wing room he was staying in with Goten.
"Where have you been going?" demanded Goten as Trunks walked through the door. Trunks gave Goten a puzzled look, Goten was sitting on the side of his bed.
"You're sitting up!" said Trunks surprised and trying to ignore Goten's question.
"Marron made me, she said it was about time I started walking again." He replied pulling a face.
"Then where is she?" Trunks asked.
"She's gone to get a wheelchair; I'm being taken to a room where they help you walk… or something like that." Trunks could tell Goten was nervous.
"It'll be good to have you walking again." Trunks said, trying to bring Goten's confidence up.
"You only have one day left in this room." Marron informed Trunks as she came through the door with the wheelchair.
"What do you mean?" asked Trunks.
"Your all better, there's no need for you to be here anymore." She said not looking at him. "So tomorrow you get to go back to sleeping in your own room." Marron started helping Goten into the wheelchair. "Trunks could you help me out?" without saying anything Trunks walked over and helped get Goten into the wheelchair. After they had gone Trunks sat on his bed.
'Why does it matter so much? There's no reason to stay, I'll finally get a good nights sleep… so what's wrong about it?' he thought then a little part of his mind said 'You won't get to see Pan that much' he agreed with the little voice 'but I'll still see her. After all she loves me!' he smiled at that thought/ 'But what happens when you go off to war? What will happen then?' Trunks began to get worried 'What if she thinks I'm going to die… would she find someone else?'
"Hello… earth to Trunks!" Pan waved a hand in front of his face.
Trunks blinked a couple of times "Sorry, I was lost in thought…"
"Ok then," quickly Pan gave Trunks a kiss. "Where's my Uncle?" she asked sitting down on the bed next to him.
"Oh, Marron took him to help him walk." Trunks thought about his next sentence. "Pan… what would you do if I had to go back to war?"
Pan was a little startled by the question but thought about it a couple of moments.
"I would probably cry a lot… try and make you stay… then wait til you come back then smother you in kisses and say your never going to leave me again." She gave a small smile. "Why do you ask? Are you going?" she looked worried.
"No not yet… but you should know that I will be asked to go again, even if I don't want to…"
"Yeah, I kind of guessed that… but please promise me you'll come back alive…" Pan didn't look Trunks in the eye.
"I'll do my best!" he gave a small smile and put his hand on Pan's leg. "Just promise me you won't fall in love with any other soldiers!" that made Pan give a little laugh.
"Trunks, I never did before." She looked serious "The whole time this wars been on, you're the only one I've fallen for." Trunks couldn't help himself, he grabbed Pan in a great big hug and smothered her in kisses.
"I love you Pan." Pan just smiled at Trunks and hugged him back.
"Why were you worried that I'd find someone else?" asked Pan as Trunks finally let her go.
Trunks thought for a little while, he turned and looked at Pan he gave her a small smile about to answer her when Goten and Marron walked back into the room.
"Panny! I walked!" Goten yelled happily. "Marron reckons I'll be running around in no time." Marron just gave a small giggle.
"That's great Uncle Goten." Smiled Pan.
'God I love that smile of hers…' thought Trunks as he watched the scene in front of him.
"So what did you get up to while I was out?" asked Goten looking from Pan to Trunks.
"I was resting when Pan came in." replied Trunks after realising Pan was blushing to hard to answer.
"So you two didn't get up to anything?" Goten sounded disappointed.
"No why would we?" asked Pan not looking Goten in the eye.
"OK, this is pointless," said Marron with a sigh. "We saw you two kissing. Now fess up!" Trunks and Pan both turned bright red.
"Marron how could you do that, that's mean now you've made them embarrassed!" said Goten although he was laughing.
'I can't believe it, Goten and Marron had the whole thing planned out…' was all both Trunks and Pan were able to think.
"At least it's out in the air now" said Pan walking over to Trunks, she was almost the colour of mars.
"I guess," replied Trunks quietly. 'When's this embarrassment going to end?' Trunks thought as he put his hand around Pan while Goten and Marron laughed more.
"Sire!" yelled Lee racing into the room, "He told me to get you right away!" panted the lower class sayin.
"Lee, catch your breath." Said Trunks sternly, walking over to the soldier.
"No time!" he replied "The king needs you!"
"You have to slow down, I don't know what your asking." Trunks told Lee moving him to the bed.
After Lee finally calmed down he began. "We got word that Freeza had attacked Earth." Lee stopped and waited for everyone to stop talking "The king called for you, he said we go to war at once."
Everyone was speechless Trunks turned and looked at Pan who was very pale.
"Tell my father I'll be ready in a few minutes." Trunks told Lee.
"Yes Sire." With that Lee saluted and ran out of the room.
Marron and Goten both nodded. "We'll leave you two alone," Marron said as she wheeled Goten from the room.
Trunks looked at the floor. 'Why now, why does this have to happen just as I find the girl of my dreams.' He thought suddenly he heard a few light sobs 'oh Pan.' In a few short strides he was at her side.
"Why do you have to go?" Pan asked quietly.
"Pan…" Trunks spoke softly "As much as I hate to say this, both you and I knew I would have to go again…" Trunks gently wiped a tear from Pan's cheeks.
"I know," Pan looked up at Trunks it really hurt him to see tears in her eyes. "I just don't want…" Pan trailed off.
"Shh, Pan…" soothed Trunks as he hugged her. "I'll try my hardest not to get injured." He whispered in her ear but thought to himself 'Or killed'
Trunks hugged Pan for a few more minutes 'I wish I could do this forever.' Pan suddenly tightened her grip on Trunks' shirt. 'She must be thinking the same thing.' Trunks gave a small sad smile at the thought.
"Pan, come with me," he suddenly said taking hold of her hand "I have something to give you."
"What is it Trunks?" Pan asked surprised.
"Come with me and you'll see." Trunks smiled and he began pulling her out the door.
"Come on Trunks, tell me." Pan whined half way down the corridor.
"It's in my room but you won't find out til we get there." Was all his reply was.
Finally in his room Trunks let go of Pan's hand and he walked to his bedside table. After undoing the many locks he grabbed something that looked like an old wooden box. He opened and grabbed a smaller box out. Trunks walked back over to Pan.
"I know you may think I'm crazy…" Trunks paused, unsure of what to sat next.
"Yes…" Pan said slowly trying to encourage him to continue.
'I must be crazy.' Trunks thought to himself. "I love you, Pan, I've loved you from the moment I met you," he paused again, this time to watch her reaction. 'She looks puzzled… should I go on? Yes Trunks just get on with it you idiot!' Swallowing all the pride he had, he continued "I was a baka back then and I will be now it I don't ask." Suddenly Trunks got down on one knee, "Like I said I was a baka for not doing this before… Pan… will you marry me?"
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Pan was in shock, she opened and closed her mouth a few times 'Oh my… what do I say!? Yes you idiot!' Pan clasped her hands together and covered her mouth, 'He's beginning to look worried, say it!' just as fast as she covered her mouth she grabbed Trunks in a huge hug
"Yes, yes, YES!!" she screamed, her eyes filling with tears of joy and happiness.
"I'm glad." Trunks beamed as he got up off his knee to kiss her.
"Brat, I told you I needed you." Vegeta said as he walked through the open door.
"You can't take the fact I need five more minutes, could you!" Trunks yelled angrily at his father.
"What, so you finally preposed, get over it and hurry up." Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest.
"Can't I even say goodbye properly?" Pan yelled furiously at Vegeta.
Vegeta turned and stared her in the eyes, Pan didn't cower, she stared straight back. Pan was used to the staring competition now.
"I'm proud of the bride you've chosen, you have ten minutes." Vegeta turned and walked from the room.
Pan turned and looked at Trunks "At least I get a little longer with you." She said sadly.
"I promise I'll be fine." Trunks said, rushing over to hug his fiancée.
"Don't promise if you don't know if you will." Said Pan quietly. "As long as I know you love me, I'll be fine."
"You know I love you." Trunks said lifting up Pan's chin and giving her a hard kiss on the lips.
They hugged for a few more minutes before Trunks sighed "Will you come and see me off?" Trunks asked as he let go of Pan.
"Of course I will." Pan replied as she walked to the door with Trunks.
They gave each other one last kiss before parting their separate ways down the hallway.
Pan headed off back to the hospital wing, 'My life's changed so much and so quickly…' she thought 'What would my father say…'
Pan was almost at her uncle's bedroom when Kailey poked her head out of a close by room.
"I'm sorry to hear that Trunks has to go and fight again." She said to Pan.
"What's there to be sorry about?" Pan replied "I knew he'd have to go again!" Pan forced herself to smile.
Kailey shrugged her shoulders, "Oh well, I thought you'd be a little more caring," she said as she went back to work.
Pan sighed to herself 'I'm gonna get this from everyone now.' She thought walking into her uncle's room.
"You look really sad, Panny." Goten told her, Pan could tell he was really worried about her.
"Don't worry Uncle Goten… I'll be ok…" she gave him a small smile.
"He'll be ok… I'm sure of it." Marron piped up.
"Well, we better get to the lobby and send him off." Said Goten, obviously wanting to get off the current topic, he wheeled himself to the door. Pan just nodded and followed her friend and Uncle.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Trunks walked though the open door and towards his father "Lee said Freeza's attacked Earth." Trunks spoke very seriously "What do you want me to do?" he looked down at the tactics board.
Vegeta was stunned that Trunks wasn't objecting like normal.
"Well I decided we would detach our main ship and leave the others on Eakgla." Vegeta paused looking at the map spread out in front of him. "It's the only way to really get to him without endangering everybody."
"You mean…" Trunks opened his mouth but he just couldn't pronounce the words.
"Yes it means I'll be going to war with you." Vegeta snapped answering the question Trunks couldn't even finish.
"But… why now?" Trunks asked, confused.
"Your asking to many questions again" Vegeta glared at him. "Freeza threatened your mother and sister. You'll understand if Pan ever was threatened." Vegeta said as he walked out of the room to go and get himself ready.
Trunks stood in the tactics room by himself for a little while longer, looking over his father's plans. He then deciding it best to head to the lobby to explain to everyone what was happening.
888888888888888888888888888888888888
"I wonder what's taking so much longer," said Goten out aloud "The troops are here and their all ready, the nurses and injured troops are also here… but where's the king and Trunks?" he asked looking around the crowd.
"I know the king needed to talk to him first." Pan said to Goten and Marron. She looked down at her ring, twisting it a few times. Pan flinched a little as three or four girls behind her squealed, she looked up at the podium and saw Trunks walking up the stairs. He turned his head and looked straight at her, a small smile spread across his face, he then continued to walk up the stairs, his face returning to the serious look he had begun with..
Once he was at the top, he didn't approach the microphone, just crossed his arms and stood there waiting…
'He's probably waiting for the king.' Thought Pan to herself. 'He looks so serious, it must be really bad.'
"Oh! I hope he notices me," a nurse whispered, fiddling with her hair, as she and her friend pushed past Pan.
Pan bit her tough, 'Nows not the time to worry about that sort of stuff, I don't think Trunks would be very impressed in a situation like the one we're in…' Pan shook her head and looked back up at Trunks, she noticed the sad look in his eyes but she had no time to ponder on it as Vegeta was now standing at the microphone.
"There's been an attack on earth…" Vegeta paused and waited for the whispers to stop. "Instead of the troops departing, I'm going to get everyone to gather some personal gear and we'll be letting the detachment pod go to Eakgla." Vegeta walked away from the microphone and Trunks stepped up.
"Everyone please listen," He stopped and waited "Grab the most important things to you and meet back here in fifteen minutes." Trunks stood there and watched everyone file out of the lobby and down to their rooms.
Pan knew Trunks hadn't seen her, she wrapped her arms around his waist. It startled him but not for long.
"What are you doing?" he asked her, giving her a confused look as he twisted around in her grip.
"I'm grabbing something important to me." Pan smiled at him.
"Oh Panny." Trunks said smiling but shaking his head. "Come on lets go and get your things." He put his arm around her waist and lead her towards her room.
Trunks decided to wait outside Pan's room while she got her things together.
"It's so romantic that he's waiting for you," Kailey sighed, plopping herself down on her bed. "How come you didn't tell me you two were an item before?"
"Shh, he'll hear you." Pan scolded trying to ignore Kailey and her talk of romance.
Pan grabbed a few shirts and pants, plus another nurse outfit. She grabbed a few more personal things and shoved them in her backpack.
She walked over to her desk, she looked at the photo of her mother, father, grandfather, grandmother and Uncle. 'Don't worry dad, grandpa, I didn't forget about you two…' she picked it up and heard something fall from the back, she looked at her father's necklace, 'how on earth did that get there…' Pan then noticed a piece of paper fall to the floor. She put her photo into her backpack and bent down to pick up the paper. 'Why haven't I seen this all before…' she thought as she stood up and unfolded the paper. It was a little letter from her father…
If your reading this Panny, I'm sorry I didn't make it to see
You grow up. You'd be very beautiful, just like your
Mother.
Anyway, my chain that should be with this note is for you to
Keep Panny. Would you please pass it on to your children,
It's a family treasure and it would make me proud to see
It being continued.
I hope you choose a good mate, Panny… you're my little
Girl and I'd hate to see anything bad happen to you.
I do believe you'll make the right choice, I've always been
Proud of you Panny,
My little Panny
Love Dad.
Pan re-read the note once more, she felt her eyes welling with tears as she picked up the necklace and ran her thumb over the dragon pendent. She folded up the note and put it into her bag. She glanced once more over her room to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. A single tear falling down her cheek thinking of her father as she headed for the door. Pan walked out to Trunks and before he could ask her what was wrong she grabbed him in a hug.
"Panny are you alright" Trunks asked, concerned. Pan didn't answer, which made Trunks worry even more.
Pan was still tightly clutching her father's chain, 'I should give it to Trunks to wear… my father would be proud to know that.' Pan quickly rubbed her eyes before looking up at Trunks.
"I'm alright Trunks, I just found a note from my father." Pan watched Trunks' reaction.
"Was it bad?" Trunks asked, not knowing really what to say.
"No it was good…" Pan felt her throat tighten, "Dad… my father would be proud." Trunks looked slightly confused. "The note he left told me to pass his necklace on to my family…" she held up the necklace to show him. "And well, I am marrying you, I would like you to wear it," she smiled, but quickly added, "Only if you want to though."
He looked it over a couple of times, "What does the dragon symbolise?" he asked curiously.
"The dragon's name is Shenron, it has something to do with my families history but I'm not to sure how." Pan said quietly watching Trunks study it. "My father would be proud."
"I'm honoured to wear it." Trunks said, smiling as he put it on.
Pan gave Trunks a tight hug, happy that he agreed to wear it. "Come one, we better get back."
They walked hand in hand back to the lobby. Pan heard plenty of girls whispering as she walked passed, but she didn't care. 'Let them whisper, I don't care. They should know he's taken anyway.' Pan stood straight, with dignity she continued to walk with Trunks.
Once back in the lobby, everyone was saying their goodbyes, Goten, who was now travelling around on crutches, came over.
"What happened to the wheelchair?" Trunks asked him looking at Goten's new mode of transport.
"Well it's a bit useless on a rocky planet, isn't it." Goten replied, flashing him a goofy smile.
"I guess that's right." Trunks said, adding a little laugh.
"Anyway, watchout for yourself this time bro, I'm not gonna be there to do it for you." They both gave a laugh and said their goodbyes. Goten wondered off to say goodbye to a few more of his fellow soldiers. Trunks turned his attention back to Pan.
"Take care of yourself." He said.
"Wally, I should be the one saying that." Pan laughed but it hurt inside.
"Well normally yes you'd be saying it when I left the ship, but you're the one leaving so.. I want you to be careful." He smiled at her but Pan could see he was forcing it 'He's trying to lift the mood and make me happy…' she thought sadly.
"Trunks…" she whispered "Please promise me you will be careful." Trunks looked down at the ground, Pan thought he wasn't going to respond.
"I will if you will…" He whispered back as he pulled her in for a hug.
"Deal" Pan whispered back giving him a quick kiss, when she went to release it though Trunks held on, forcing it into a longer one.
"Listen up." Vegeta said gruffly through the microphone, which broke Pan and Trunks' kiss.
"Everyone should have finished their goodbyes by now." He continued "Can all the nurses and unlisted troops head to the detachment pod."
"Bye" Pan whispered as she pried herself out of Trunks' grasp, she ran over to where her uncle and Marron were waiting, took one last look back at Trunks and walked through the detachment pod door. 'I hope you stay safe… please watch over him for me dad…'
