Past

"I am so sorry Gohan." Videl said as she lay in the hospital bed. She was holding his hand and felt his tears fall on her hand.

"I am sorry too Videl. I am sorry that I can't go with you." Gohan said and regretted that he must say goodbye to his young wife.

"Take care of her for me ok?" Videl said and smiled slightly when she thought about her dauger.

"I will honey and we will both miss you." Gohan told her and leaned down to kiss her.

"Can I see her one more time?" Videl asked him and he nodded his head.

"Hi momy!" Pan said as she bounced in the hospital room.

"Hi baby." Videl said and hugged her daughter with all her strength.

"What is wrong mommy?" Pan asked looking at her mom pale face.

"Mommy has to go now baby and you won't see me for a very long time. That doesn't mean that I will ever stop loving you. Even though you can't see me I am always right here." Videl said and pointed to her daughter's heart.

"I will miss you mommy." Pan said and held onto her chest as if keeping her mom close.

"I will miss you too be good for daddy ok?" She told her and was slowly losing her grip on Pan.

"Ok I will." Pan said and nodded.

The monitor in the room began to beep slower and slower. When Pan looked up she saw just a line that was on the screen. Doctors and Nurses ran in pushing and barely noticing the 4 year old girl who had watched her mother die.

Pan began to sob in the corner of the hospital room as she couldn't stop watching what was happening to her mother. Big strange men were pounding on her chest and using things that she knew hurt her mommy.

"Hey P what are you doing in here?" They young voice asked and she looked up at the boy of only 11.

"Is my mommy going to be ok Twunks?" She asked softly.

"Your mommy has gone to heaven with my grandparents Pan. It is a much more beautiful place." He told her.

She nodded her head and understood. Trunks held out his hand and she took it and allowed him to escort her out of the room. They walked hand in hand down the hallway and into the waiting room where there parents were.

Present

It was Pan's 14th birthday she had invited all of her friends to her house on the planet Vegeta.After Pan's mother had died Bulma, the Queen of Vegeta, and Gohan's childhood friend offered them a home on their planet and they have lived there for 10 years.

Marron, Bra, her Uncle Goten were her best friends who were able to make it and some other people from her school. Her and Bra have been best friends ever since they could talk. They tell each other everything including Pan's crush on Trunks which has bloomed into love. But her best friend Trunks who she had a crush on since she could remember couldn't make it, but he did get her something it was placed on the table with her other gifts.

"All right guys, who wants cake?" Gohan asked.

After all of Pan's friends went through 10 whole cakes they decided it was time to open presents. Marron got Pan a light pastel pink summer dress, at first Pan didn't know what it was then thought about it and said sarcastically, "Thanks Marron."

"You're welcome." Marron squealed.

Bra made a special something for Pan, it was a video of the 5 of them on vacations and meetings or at parties.

"Bra it's fantastic thank you." Pan said

"Aw it was nothing." replied Bra.

"Here you go Pan." Goten said and gave her a box that looked like he wrapped it himself.

"Uh thanks Goten...woah these are awesome!" she said and held up the bandanas of many colors.

She didn't see Trunks' present and continued to open the others. She got several great gifts, she thanked everyone and they all left except Marron and Bra who were going to spend the night.

"Hey Pan I think you forgot one." Marron said and tossed her the little ring box.

"Hmm I wonder who this is from?" She said, and then saw an envelope she opened it and it read:

"Hey Happy Birthday P, we have been friends for 10 years and you have grown up so fast. I hope this is your special day.

Love your friend,

Your older bro

Trunks

P.S. I hope you enjoy my present."

"He didn't forget!" she thought to herself and then opened the ring box. "Huh!" she gasped at what she saw. It was a ring on a chain, with her birth stone on it She smiled and put it on.

Then the girls together said, "Ooh!"

"Oh shut up you guys!" Pan said and shook her fists.

She turned it to look inside the ring and it read, "Pan, Beautiful Daughter of Gohan, Happy Birthday and may you cherish this forever

Trunks."

"Awwwwwwwwwww" The girls cooed.

"I'm warning you two!" Pan steamed as her face turned red.

Pan chased her friends upstairs where they had rented 3 movies and had popcorn, chips and dip, pop, and candy. But the time of their 3rd movie it felt like they had gained 20lbs. Then Marron suggested they play truth or dare. Pan didn't like this idea but she wasn't a wimp so she agreed to play.

"All right Marron, truth or dare?" Bra asked

"Um...truth."

"All right who do you like?" she asked.

'Please don't say Trunks, please don't say Trunks.' Pan kept saying to herself.

"We'll promise you won't laugh, but, I like Goten." Marron said, Bra and Pan couldn't help but laugh.

"You like my uncle?" Pan said while still laughing

"Hey I said not to laugh!" she screamed and then attacked them with pillows.

"Pillow fight!" they all screamed and had their own pillow war.

"Girls! Hey girls."

"Yeah Dad?" Pan asked her dad.

"Girls I am going to be sleeping so please be quiet so I can get some sleep." He yelled from downstairs.

"All right daddy, Good night." Pan said and then turned to her friends.

"We better stop fighting."

"Sure, we can just play make-up." Bra said,

"Uh, Bra first of all I thought it was dress up and second we aren't 8 years old anymore." Marron said.

"Make-up is where we get all pretty as in 18-20 year old pretty." Bra said and Marron cheered up.

"You guys can just cut me out." Pan said and started to back up.

"Aw come on Pan why not?" Bra asked

"Because its stupid." she said and glared at them.

"You're not scared are you." Marron asked.

"Of course not! Its just I don't need that make-up."

"Pan if you don't I will call Trunks and tell him that you like him." Bra threatened.

"Oh all right but just for Trunks."

"Yeah." Both Marron and Bra screamed they were excited to fix their best friend up.

Bra got out all her make-up out and Marron tried to figure out what she was going to wear.

"I know." she said and found the pink dress she got her. "Perfect." she said with a smile then went over to where Bra was doing Pan's make-up.

"Ow! Hey Bra!" Pan yelled.

"Sorry Pan but do you want a unabrow?"

"No."

"Alright then be still and quiet." Marron watched as Bra concentrated on Pan's makeup. "Ta Daa!" she said,

"Wow, Pan you look beautiful." said Marron.

"Here go put this on." she handed Pan the dress and pointed to the bathroom Pan mumbled and walked to the bathroom. When she came out her friends didn't even recognize her.

"You look gorgeous." Bra said and pointed to the mirror for Pan to look at herself. "I look prissy." she growled.

"I have an Idea lets go to a club." Bra said

"Are you CRAZY!"

"Why not Pan?" asked Marron,

"Number 1, they won't let 14 year old kids in a club, 2. My dad will kill me and 3 I look retarded." said Pan and then crossed her arms.

"Well we certainly do not look like 14 years old and have you forgotten who I am? Plus we will be quiet and your dad will never know we left." Bra said,

"And you look great." Marron added.

"Come on lets go have some fun." Bra begged Pan.

"It will be your fault if we get caught." was all Pan said. Both Marron and Bra jumped up and down and got ready to go.

"Are we ready?" Marron asked.

"Yup." Bra said.

"Only 2 hours all right then we come home."

"All right, All right now lets go." Bra said and dragged Pan out of the house.

"So which club are we going to?" Marron asked.

"How about the Princess Saiyan?" Bra suggested. Both girls gave her a glare.

"What?" she asked.

"That's a strip club." Pan said.

"Oh, I didn't know, How about Vegettorat?"

"Sure they play awesome music there" Pan said getting excited.

"All right then lets go!" Marron said and they all went to the club.

There wasn't that big of a line and the 3 girls managed to get in, by showing a little skin but it got them in the club.

"Bra remind me to kill you." Pan said. When they got in "Country Girl" was playing. Marron and Bra got up on the dance floor. The crowd of men went wild. Pan wasn't really into dancing and just took a seat at the table and watched as the guys acted like wolves trying to get some red meat.

"And this is supposed to be fun." she said,

"It would be if you were dancing." said a voice behind her.

She turned around and a man about 24 was there.

"Well I can't dance." she said,

"Don't worry I won't laugh." he said and smiled.

"Look I am just here cause my friends made me come." she said and pointed at Marron and Bra.

"Come on babe just one dance." He asked again and then showed her his money.

"Look mister I am not a prostitute and I won't dance with you!" she yelled he grabbed her by her wrists and said "I am not asking!" she tried to get free but couldn't she screamed and everyone looked at her

"Don't worry guys she is with me." he said,

"No I am not!" she yelled. Everyone continued dancing she screamed again.

"Who is that?" someone asked

"Sounds like someone's in trouble and I am going to find out." said the other guy. And he went to go find the girl in trouble.

They huge man was pulling Pan on the dance floor. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop i-- huh?" Pan said looking surprised as the man no longer had a grip on her and he was on the floor knocked out. She looked at where he was standing before and he was there.

"Way to go Trunks!" Goten cheered. "Man you really decked him."

Trunks couldn't hear his best friend because he was shocked at what was standing before him.

"Yoo-hoo Trunks are you in there?" Goten asked making goofy faces at Trunks. "Hey whatcha lookin at?" he asked, "Oh I see man she is quite the looker." Goten said and nudged Trunks in the ribs. "Go ask her to dance." Trunks grabbed Goten by his shirt and pulled him away from Pan.

"Goten are you nuts she won't dance with me." Trunks whispered.

"Come on you'll never know with that attitude now go get her." Goten said and gave Trunks a reassuring punch in the arm.

"I can't believe he is here." she said to herself. "I better go get Marron and Bra so we won't get caught." she said and started to walk off when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turned around and screamed, "Hey you still owe me a dance." the man said. "Thought that punk took care of me?" he said then laughed.

"Aw no that guy is conscious again." Trunks said and ran towards them.

"I don't want to dance with you!" she yelled and screamed for help.

"Let her go." Trunks said and made the man release her and the man tried to fight him. The guy was drunk so a strong energy blast by the super saiyan easily knocked him unconscious and he was taken away from the bar in a stretcher.

"Are you all right?" Trunks asked while helping Pan up.

"Yes, thank you very much."

"Um, I hope you don't mind me asking but do you?"

Before he could finish Bra and Marron ran up, "Pan are you all right?" Marron asked

"Yeah, Marron and I heard someone scream but we didn't know it was you." said Bra.

"Yeah you brother helped me." she said,

"M-m-my brother." Bra gulped.

"PAN!" Trunks shouted very surprised that the woman he was just attracted to was his 14 year old friend.

"Whoa Trunks can I have one of these girls." Goten said and gave then all the goofy son smile.

The girls all giggled. "Goten you idiot this is Bra, Pan, and Marron." Trunks said,

"Whoa! And here I was just about to ask if they wanted to get a room with me." he laughed and scratched his head and everyone else fell down and all the girls hit him over the head.

"Ouch, I was only joking." He said but everyone knew he was lying.

"Anyways what are you 3 doing this in an adult club." Trunks said furious that all those men were all over his good friends and sister.

"Well it was all Bra's idea." Pan blurted out.

"Thanks a lot Pan." Bra said.

"Well you see Trunks we played make-up and once we got all pretty we wanted to go somewhere so we decided to go clubbing." said Marron.

"Well you guys are going back to Pan's right now and we will escort you." Trunks said,

"Trunks please don't tell my dad I didn't dance or anything." Pan begged him.

"I will think about it but for now lets just take you home!" Trunks picked up Pan and Bra climbed on her brothers' back. Goten carried Marron and they all flew away and headed for Pan's house.

"Trunks I can fly." Pan said,

"Do you want your dad to sense your energy level?"

"Oh yeah good thinking." She said. Her heart was racing as he carried her.

"Trunks?" she asked

"Yeah"

"What were you gonna ask me at the club?" she asked.

He blushed not only because of embarrassment but also because he couldn't believe how beautiful she was.

"I was going to ask your name why?" he said,

"No reason." she quickly replied. Bra was watching all of this from behind inside and out she was smiling. 'They would make such a cute couple' she thought, but her thoughts were interrupted when they landed in Pan's room.

"You girls stay here and no more clubbing." Trunks said, upset with the young girls.

"Yeah you guys don't need anymore hickeys." Goten giggled and then they left.

Marron and Bra went to the closest mirror and saw red marks all over their necks and traveling down to their chests.

"OH MY GOD my dad will kill me!" Bra said,

"Yeah mine will too." said Marron started to cry.

"Turtlenecks?" Pan suggested

"In the middle of summer!" Bra screamed.

"Well it's not my fault it was your idea Bra, And on top of that we got caught!" Pan yelled.

"Pan sweetie are you all right?" Her dad said and knocked on her door.

"Shoot!" she whispered. "Yes daddy, just got up to pee." she said.

"All right then good night." Gohan said and walked back to his bedroom and went back to sleep.

"I hope you are happy with yourselves!" Pan said and scowled at her friends. "I don't know about you two but I am exhausted, so good night." Pan said and climbed back into her bed and went to sleep.

"Let grouchy sleep, we have to figure out how to hide these hickeys." Bra said and her and Marron stayed up for an hour then gave up and went to bed. Pan was having dreams of her and Trunks dancing. Meanwhile Trunks wasn't handling what happened at the dance club.

"Ha ha Trunks you were falling for Pan and if Marron and Bra didn't come right then you would have danced with her." Goten said laughing.

"Shut up Goten!" 'He's right I didn't even recognize her. She looked so beautiful. Whoa Trunks this is your best friend and the girl who is like your sister.' He thought

"Hey Trunks yoo hoo are you thinking about Pan?" Goten asked and flashed a grin.

"No, and who do you think you are making fun of me you wanted to get in all of their pants." Trunks said and gave him the Vegeta death glare.

"Hey Trunks you know I was joking don't you?" Goten asked and scratched his head.

"You are simply disgusting." Trunks said

"Sorry Trunks but man your sister is hot!" Goten said.

"Hey keep those thoughts to yourself please?" Trunks said but was kind of happy and hoped Bra liked him cause he would like to have Goten as a brother-in-law.

"Well don't think of my niece in any other way either alright?" Goten said firmly not joking cause he know Trunks was trouble with a capital T.

"Look Goten, I won't ever think of Pan like that alright." he said.

"Sure whatever Trunks anyways do you want to go back to the club or go home?" he asked.

"Home, I'm going on a combat mission tomorrow so I need some sleep before we leave."

"All right Trunks, see you later." Goten said and waved goodbye then headed home.

Trunks flew past the castle into the forest behind the castle. He came here often when he had problems. And he had a major one tonight. He removed all his clothes and jumped in the little pond with a waterfall. It was cold but he got used to it and sat in the water thinking.

"Do I like Pan? I mean she is my second sister we tell each other everything and we hang out. But man did she look beautiful. What am I saying? This is Pan, The biggest tomboy in the world. Of course I don't like her in anyway just as a friend."

Convinced he got out, shook himself dried, put his clothes on, and flew to his room. He got in his bed and went to sleep, having confusing dreams.
