Before You Read: Bra isn't even supposed to be born in this story, because it will just screw up my whole idea! Sorry for Bra fans! But Goten's in here...and he's not related to Pan, it's confusing but hopefully you'll figure it out.
A/N: I have posted this story before, but as I read over it recently, I realize that it had terrible grammatical errors, and the plot was not as good as I first remembered it as being. So, here is a new version of:
LOVE WILL FIND US
Chapter 4
Pan glanced up at Trunks with her arms around him. Her friends Marron and Goten were looking at the duo oddly, so Pan and Trunks quickly separated. Upon doing so though, the raven-haired girl felt an impulse to go back into his arms and did such. Tears escaped her eyes as she held on strongly to her friend.
"What the heck is going on?" Marron whispered to Goten. He merely shrugged his shoulders in response. "Weird..."
"Trunks...thank you." Pan said between her tears and smiled.
"For what?" Trunks asked.
"For everything." Pan said as she wiped away her tears. Trunks gave her a hug back.
"You're welcome," he said and held her in his grasp for a moment's time.
"Ahem..." Marron said clearing her throat. Trunks pulled away from Pan and started to blush slightly.
"Come on guys, the bus has been sitting here for like five minutes, lets go to school or we'll be late." Goten said. The four of them then got off of the bus and into the school's cafeteria.
"Hi Pan." Uub said when Pan walked into the cafeteria. The raven-haired girl felt her face heat up as she simply waved her hello back. Uub grinned at the fifteen-year-old before approaching her. "Hey, so I have this crazy idea for you and me. How about we go on a date somewhere. Maybe the movies this Saturday night at seven?"
"Uh..." the girl stuttered. Was he serious or was he messing with her mind? Regaining her composure, she was finally able to muster up a response. "Y-yeah, that would be great."
"I guess I'll see you then, Pan." Uub said with another smile at her. She nodded her head in response as his hand grazed over her shoulders before he left. The young teenager was enamored, she just couldn't believe it! Uub, her crush of what felt like forever, had finally asked her out! She happily skipped over to the table with her best friend Marron and began talking about her encounter. Trunks on the other hand was in line to get breakfast and had his hands clutched into fists.
'Stupid Uub. Just who does he think he is? I can't believe he his leading her on like that. Everyone knows he's such a man-whore.' he thought to himself as he grabbed a tray to put his food on. 'I've just got to talk to her, before something happens.'
The lavender-haired teenager approached Pan and Marron at the table they were sitting at, "Mind if I join you guys?"
"Of course not!" Pan responded happily. Trunks resisted the urge to roll his eyes at how ridiculously happy she was. Instead, he began playing with his food, trying to distract himself from her demeanor. "Are you okay, Trunks? You look a little pale."
"I'm fine," he began. Putting his fork down, he glanced at the raven-haired girl intensely. "It's just...I have a bad feeling about Uub asking you out. I think he's just leading you on. I really don't think you should go to the movies with him."
"Are you kidding me?" she practically yelled. "The reason he probably asked me it is because he likes me!"
"Pan, you don't know him like I do. You don't want to be his girlfriend, or even his friend."
"Whatever," Pan stated. She began eating her pancakes, but Trunks continued to talk.
"Please," he began, pulling her eating hand away from her tray. "Just listen to me."
"I'm listening."
"Do you remember last year when Uub went out with that girl, Paris - you know, the same girl Goten likes?" Pan nodded her head at his question. "Well, from what I have heard, some things happened between them, and one thing lead to another, and-"
"Shut up!" Pan screeched as her eyes started to water.
"But P-"
"Just leave me alone." Pan reached for her tray and began to stand up from the breakfast table. Without a glance at Trunks, she said, "Come on, Marron. Let's get to homeroom."
"Great going buddy, look what you did, you made her cry." Goten said as he sat down next to his friend at the table. The lavender haired teenager was taken aback by his friend's sudden appearance, but accepted it anyway.
"But I didn't mean to." Trunks said as he lowered his head.
"Tough luck." Goten said, shrugging his shoulders.
'How could I do that to Pan? I mean, I was just...what was I?' He questioned himself. 'Jealous? Was I jealous that Uub is trying to take her out on a date?' Trunks quickly shoved the thought aside as he idly continued to chop up his pancakes.
"Trunks, Trunks, TRUNKS!" Goten finally yelled.
"Huh?" he said as he looked up at his friend. "You've been sitting there playing with your food for the past 5 minutes, I mean if you're not gonna eat it then at least give it to me."
"Take it." Trunks said and pushed his tray over to Goten.
"Thanks!" Goten said and started to chomp down on the pancakes.
"Trunks, what's wrong?" Goten asked.
"It's nothing really." Trunks lied.
"Whatever." Goten said as he burped loudly. Some of the students in the cafeteria glanced at Goten in disgust. "Yep that's some good stuff," he said and patted his stomach.
After breakfast, Trunks and Goten headed to homeroom so that they could be counted at being present for the day of school. The first period class that Trunks had he also shared with his best friend, Goten in addition to Pan and Uub. Trunks wasn't looking too excited to be this class because the teacher tended to pick favorites.
"Okay class, today we are working on our labs today, you'll be partnered up by my choice." Ms. Clowers said. Several of the students grumbled angrily, while others swore under their breath unbeknownst unto the oblivious teacher. She stood up from her desk and began walking around the room and saying names,"Okay, Randy you and Travis together, Mary and Chris"
'Please let me be with Goten, please let me be with Goten.' Trunks thought to himself. His eye though caught Pan's and he smiled at her coyly. 'Or Pan. Yeah, I want to be with Pan.'
"Goten, you will be with Pan. Uub you will be with Trunks." Ms. Clowers said, clearly ignoring Trunks' inner dialogue.
'Dammit, not that loser.' Trunks thought to himself angrily. He opened up his class notebook as he saw Uub coming over to sit by him.
"Hey." Uub said nonchalantly, attempting to appear cooler than he actually was. Trunks rolled his eyes at Uub, not really wanting to engage in any more conversation than he had to. "Umm, I said hey, are you deaf?"
"No, I just want to get this stupid lab done and over with. The less interaction with you the better." Trunks stated. He picked up his book, lab papers, notebook, and a pencil and walked to the back of the classroom to get a decent microscope.
"Okay then..." Uub said. He had no idea what he even did to the lavender haired boy to make him mad. Instead of questioning though, too grabbed his things and joined Trunks.
"So, I hear that you're going on a date with Pan on Saturday?" Trunks asked as he put the animal cell under a microscope.
"Yeah, isn't it great, I get to watch a good movie and get a hot chick to go with me." Uub said and chuckled a little bit.
"Yeah great." Trunks said sarcasm dripping from his tone. Uub didn't notice it though.
"So, you friends with Pan?" Uub asked.
"Yeah, why?" Trunks asked.
"Will you do me a favor?" Uub asked.
"What?" Trunks asked as he started to look at the animal cell under the microscope.
"Don't tell Pan anything we talk about." Uub said.
"Why should I lie to my friend and do a so called 'favor' for someone I barely know?" Trunks asked as he looked up at Uub.
"Come on, technically you don't have to lie to her, you can just tell her that you and me talked about football, and we will talk about football." Uub said.
"Well..." Trunks said.
'I can't trust him, why should I trust him? I mean what is he gonna talk about Pan?' Trunks thought to himself. 'On the other hand, if what he says is really bad I'll tell Goten and I'll have him tell Pan, therefore it wouldn't be me who told Pan.' Trunks thought to himself and kind of smiled. Ah, he loved the rules of technicality.
"Sure." Trunks said.
"Okay, you promise you won't tell her anything?" Uub asked.
"Yes, I promise." Trunks said.
"I already know that Pan likes me and all, so during the date I'm going to start out slow and just put my arm around her, then maybe try to hold her hand. But after the date is over, I'm gonna..." Uub said and leaned into Trunks and whispered something.
"What?" Trunks whispered back.
"I know isn't it gonna be great?" Uub said and smiled.
"Ye...yeah great." Trunks said.
'Oh my goodness, this guy must be crazy or something.' Trunks thought to himself.
"I wonder what Trunks and Uub are talking about." Pan said as she gazed over to the two of them.
"Probably you." Goten said and chuckled.
"Oh shut up." Pan said.
"I hear you and Uub are going out to the movies on Saturday, is it true?" Goten asked.
"Yeah, isn't it great?" Pan said as she smiled and sighed as she went into her daydreaming world.
"Yoo Hoo earth to Pan!" Goten said.
"Oh sorry, come on lets finish this animal cell." Pan said and turned her attention back to science.
The class seemed to drag on as the students worked dillegently with the animal cell assignment, but the bell finally rang and as the students were filing out of the room, Pan ran up to Trunks. She was eager to hear about what he and Uub talked about.
"Soo...what did you and Uub talk about?" Pan asked.
"Funny you know, this morning you were mad at me because of something I said about Uub, why should I tell you what we talked about?" Trunks said.
"Oh come on, Trunks! You know I didn't mean it." she said with a sweet smile. Trunks couldn't resist her smile it seemed. "Please, tell me."
"We just talked about football." Trunks said. Though his mind added, 'And your date that's going to happen this weekend.'
"Which team?" Pan asked.
"Our school's team and how much it sucked." Trunks said.
"That's it?" Pan asked.
"Oh and we talked about baseball." Trunks said.
"Oh...that's nice..." she said, a bit disappointed that she wasn't mentioned in the conversation. Trunks took notice to her disappointment, but her facial expression quickly changed. "I guess I'll see you in English, cause I have Math next." Pan said and groaned.
Trunks chuckled a little bit, "See ya." he said and left.
