Chapter 13

"Hey Mom… I have decided that I want an escort. I mean Bulla, and Marron are having one, why can't I?" I said to my mom.

She smiled, and nodded. "This is your 19th birthday you get anything you want." My mother told me.

I went through my phone book, and was stuck between 3 friends. My boyfriend of a year Ruben; My closest friend Akira; and my childhood love, best friend Trunks to choose from. I obviously had to choose Ruben, but I was stuck. I decided on Ruben, I would add 2 more girls to be Trunks, and Akira's escorts. I chose Mina, she was my height, 5'3 she had blonde hair, and her skin was light. She reminded me of Marron. They were best friends know, and she had a crush on Akira. I then choose Asa for Trunks. She was 5'1; she had short green hair one side was longer than the other. (Think of Asa from Shuffle!) She was my oldest friend; I had known her since birth.

"Mom, I need some help!" I yelled from my room.

She came in, and helped me put my eye shadow on. I had never imagined putting make-up on, I mean I have put it on for special occasions, but I never put it on myself.

I called everyone to come to Bulla's house.

"Welcome everybody! I am here to invite you all to be a part of Son Pan's 19th birthday! Please agree, and have fun at the same time." Bulma said.

They all agreed, and we went to go get fitted.

The girls all wore small; there dresses were white with black lace. Their shoes were black pumps.

They guys wore white tuxes with a black shirt, and vest. Their shoes were white. Rubens Tuxedo was Black with a black shirt, and white tie, and black shoes.

We took a group picture, and had a good time. We then went home to practice the entrance.

Marron and Uub were first to walk in, then Mina, and Akira; then Bulla, and Goten, and then Asa, and Trunks. Ruben and I were last. The practice went well.

"How was your day dear?" Bulma, My mother, and Grandma asked me.

"Good. Thanks everybody for helping. I can't thank you enough!" I said with gratitude. I was about to walk to my room, and study when my father came in the door.

"Pan MAIL!" he said as he gave me the letter.

Dear Pan,

Hi it's me Isaac. I wanted to say thanks for everything. I know we barely met, but I wanted to know if you wanted to go out for some coffee. Don't worry I am not asking you on a date, I have a girlfriend… you were right. I just want to see a friend. Hopefully we are friends right? Well anyway please respond as soon as you can. Being the granddaughter of two guys who were once champion you must be busy; please respond to me. I would love to hear from you again, and soon.

Sincerely Isaac.

"Who was it Pan?" My father asked,

"Isaac… from the world tournament. He wants to meet up for coffee. Should I go?" I said.

My father smiled, and laughed.

"You can handle yourself. I know it." He said.

I left Ruben and Bulla a message and left to the café.

"Hello, I am here to see a Son Pan." Isaac said.

"Yes, right this way please." Said the women.

I saw him coming, and sipped some of my coffee, and put it down.

"Hello, thank you Sarah we do not need your assistance any longer." I told her. "Hello Isaac, here." I said as I slipped him an envelope.

He opened it, and smiled. "I will be there!" he said.

"So how long has it been? I think about a 6 months huh?" Isaac said.

We laughed, and nodded.

"Yeah I think that's about it. He-he so your girlfriend you have a picture of her?" I said.

He showed me; she had long brown hair, and her skin was tan. She was beautiful.

"She is very pretty. How long know?" I asked.

"3 years, and still strong." He said proudly.

I froze. I wanted a relationship like that; I was only a year with Ruben. I didn't understand, how can somebody stay with someone that long?

"Wow! Uhmm that's impressive. I am only a year with my boyfriend. How do you do it?" I asked.

"Easy, I love her. I would do anything for her. She is my world, and stars; soul mate, and future wife." He said with a warm smile.

I sipped some of my coffee, and smiled.

"That's easy for you to say, me and Ruben have fights a lot know." I said.

He chuckled, and pulled out a piece of paper. It read: "Only you can save yourself from a relationship that is going downhill…" It kept repeating in my head over, and over again. I don't know why, but I felt my heart stop. Trunks once told me that when I have a serious relationship that he could no longer protect me. I never understood what he meant; I guess I still kind of don't get it.

"Well, Isaac it was great seeing you again, please come to my party." I said.

I went home, and sat on my bed. What he had told me really hit me. I never thought about it in that way… it was weird.

::Trunks… want to come over?::

::Sure! HEY::

"Ahhh, you always get me… so? Want to go to the park?" I asked.

He nodded, and we flew to the park.

"So… wanna play TAG YOUR IT!" he said as he touched me, and ran to the top of the slide.

"Wow… nice hiding spot." I said smiling.

"Just like when we were kids… we need to have a nostalgic themed party. Ha-ha that would be cool!" he said.

I loved his sence of humor, we understood each other. We started to play like the old days. We were on our 5th game of hide-and-seek.

"Found YA!" Trunks said. He grabbed my hand, and pulled me close to him. I felt his muscular arms around my waist. I felt happy, and safe.

"Hey wanna go to the swings with me?" he asked me.

We went, and I sat on a swing, he got in front of me, and held my waist. I felt his warm hands.

"Trunks… me and Ruben might break up… I don't want to lose our friendship though. He is my friend… this relationship we had was good, but I thinks it's time we stopped, it is tearing us apart." I said.

(Trunks POV)

I was happy we were hanging out again, she can trust me… I can trust her. Her and Ruben's relationship was gonna end soon, but I should at least help her. He is my friend know. I want us to still be friends throughout ups and downs.

She hugged me, and I held her waist tight. She looked up at me, and her eyes were watering up; I wiped the tears away, and leaned in. when our lips meet fireworks popped in my mind. I felt the luckiest man alive. I had always loved Pan, and know I just realize it.

She pulled away. "Stop… this isn't right, I know me, and Ruben are gonna break up but this isn't right… sorry trunks I have to go…" Pan said as she flew away.

(Pan's POV)

I walked in, and ran to my room. What did I just do? What did we just do? I can't believe it.

"Hello? Mom can I go over to Mina's house?" I asked.

She agreed, and I called Asa, Marron, and Bulla to go over as well.

"Come in my parents are out of town, what's going on?" Mina asked.

"Me, and Trunks kissed."

"WHAT!" Yelled Ruben.
