Last time on 'Say You Love Me':

The next morning Pan woke up in Trunks arms. Letting out a long sigh she snuggled in closer to his warmth. "Mmm... Panny you awake?" Trunks stretched and hugged Pan closer.



"Hai Trunks-kun." There was a bit of silence between them until Pan spoke again. "Trunks?"



"Yeah?" Trunks asked.



Pan lowered her head. "What's going to happen? I mean with us..." Pan asked, a little bit of worry in her voice.



"Well, we'll probably end up getting engaged, I mean... now that your pregnant and all," Trunks said with a sly smile as he heard Pan let out a small gasp in shock and placing a hand on her stomach. "Then we'll tell everyone the news and, you know, get married." Trunks put his hands behind his head and looked up into the clear blue sky as a blue bird flew by overhead. "You'd be Mrs. Trunks Briefs."



Pan smiled as she kept her hand over her stomach. "I like the sound of that," she said softly.

Chapter 16: Home Again

Pan sighed as she walked up the steps to her apartment door. She unlocked the door, opening and closing quietly so she wouldn't wake her sleeping roomy. Pan took off her coat and set it on the side table with her keys. Leaning against the door, she let out a dreamy sigh. She was happier then she could ever remember being. Memories of the long night flashed in her mind. A smile crept upon her lips. She turned on the light switch beside her and let out a scream as she saw her friend Claire sitting on the couch staring at her with a serious look on her face. Pan closed her eyes and placed a hand against her chest. "Claire, I thought you would be asleep. What are you doing up this hour in the morning? You're usually sleeping in!"

"I was up waiting for you. I got worried when I got back home and didn't see you here." Claire replied, looking behind Pan. "Where's Robert?"

Pan shrugged. "Who knows. Who cares?" Pan said calmly and walked towards Claire taking a seat next to her. "He ditched me last night after two muggers got hold of me last night. He ran off like a chicken, leaving me to defend for myself. That bastard."

"Oh my! Why would he do such a thing! I can't believe he would do anything like that." Claire shook her head in disbelief. "But, how'd you get away from that? Especially with no cuts or anything!"

"Um, long story. I'll tell you about it soon." Pan looked away trying to get off the subject. "About last night, I'm really sorry I blew up at you Claire. I had no right to. I'm truly sorry."

Claire gave Pan a little hug. "It's okay Pan. I probably shouldn't have done what I did. It was wrong of me." Pan just smiled. "Well, after everything last night. Where the hell were you?"

Pan turned away and blushed. "I met up with Trunks." Pan trailed off.

Claire's eyes turned wide with shock. "And?"

"And, um, hehe." Pan laughed nervously. "Let's just say something happened. And it happened for a reason. Trunks, Bra, Goten and I are going back to Japan this afternoon. And we want you to come back with us, and meet everyone, because when we get there, something big is going to happen. And I need you there for it as well." Pan said.

"Are you serious? I would love to go back to Japan with you guys! But what is this thing your talking about exactly?" Claire asked curiously.

Pan smiled big and grabbed hold of Claire's hand. "It's a surprise. A big surprise." Pan winked. "Trust me when I say you'll like it. Now start getting packed!" Pan jumped in the air pulling Claire off the couch with her. Claire laughed loudly at the excitement Pan was showing. Pan ran to her room to get packed for the long trip home.

Claire smiled, "It's great to see her smile like that again." Claire giggled and walked to her room to start packing as well. A couple hours later Claire walked out of her room and saw Pan sitting on the couch impatiently. "Alright Pan! I'm all ready to go! When's our flight take off?"

Pan smiled a rather goofy smile that Claire had never seen before. "As soon as the other's get here!"

Claire looked at Pan weirdly. "Okay."

There was a loud knock on the door. Pan jumped up quickly. "I'll get it!" Running to the door she opened seeing Trunks. Immediately she jumped on him giving him a tight hug and a sweet kissed. Bra giggled from behind Trunks. Pan blushed. "Hi Bra-chan, hi Uncle Goten!" She gave them both a hug and turned around to gather up her bags. "Ready Claire? We're leaving!"

"Yup all ready!" Claire said excitedly. They walked out the door locking it then out of the building. Trunks, Pan, Goten and Bra stopped walking causing Claire to bump into the back of Pan. "Huh? Why are we stopping? We're going to be late for our flight!"

"Wrong Claire," Pan pointed a finger up. "This is our flight."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Claire asked curiously, unsure of what was going on.

Pan grabbed hold of Claire's shoulders. "Okay Claire, I need you to promise me that you won't freak out and not tell anyone." Claire nodded slowly. Pan took a deep breath. "We're, as in Trunks, Bra, Goten and I, are not really what you think." Claire looked confused. "I'll show you what I mean. Pick up your bags, we're leaving now." After Claire picked up her bags, Pan grabbed her tightly which caused Claire to go into confusion more. Feeling her feet being lifted from the ground, Claire let out a scream. "It's alright Claire, I got you!"

Claire closed her eyes tightly then opened them again looking at the ground. "What the hell! No fucking way!" Claire yelled out. "How is this possible! People can't fly!"

Pan laughed. "It's a long story. I'll tell you on the way home." Blasting off with the others they were set in the direction of home. "Finally," Pan sighed. "Home again."

On the way home, Pan explained everything to Claire while she 'Ooo'd' and 'Ahh'd' throughout Pan's long story. "Wow, I had no idea! That is way cool!" Claire said excitedly.

"Yeah, but you've got to promise that you will never tell another living soul about this. I mean, our families are counting on you to keep this as a secret. Otherwise, we'd be exploited and no one would leave us alone. And what would people think of aliens that look like humans living on their planet? These people have no idea clue whatsoever after all these years." Pan said almost sternly.

Claire nodded. "Well, you can count on me to keep my mouth shut!" She said smiling. "I mean you're like my best friend. And what kind of friend would I be if I told someone about it. Not very good of one I can you that."

"We're here!" Goten yelled at everyone. Everyone stopped and started to slowly drop to the ground of Capsule Corp.

As soon as they touched the ground, Claire stared in shock at the large dome of Capsule Corps. "Wow, what are we doing here?"

Pan smiled. "This is Trunks and Bra's home. Trunks is the president of Capsule Corps. His grandfather invented the capsule! Almost everyone in his mom's side of the family are geniuses." Pan spoke proudly. Trunks walked up to Pan placing a hand on her shoulder and kissing her forehead lightly.

Everyone walked in the building. It was dark inside. No lights were on. "Mom we're home!" Trunks yelled.

All the sudden lights turned on. Pan gasped as she saw everyone jump out and yell 'Surprise!' "Oh Kami!" Pan yelled out. She looked towards Trunks who shrugged and smiled innocently. She gave him a little glare knowing he called before they left.

Videl and Gohan came running up to Pan. "Oh welcome home Panny! We've missed you so much!" Her mother Videl cried as she hugged her and her father Gohan kissing her on the head. Pan just laughed trying to get away from her mother's deathtrap of a hug she had on her like if she let her go she would disappear.

"Its okay mom, dad. I'm home now, and I won't be leaving again. I'm staying for good." Pan smiled. Pan looked around and saw her Grandpa Goku snacking on a large amount of food. "Grandpa Goku!" Pan shouted running up to him and hugging him.

"Hi Pan-chan! How have you been kiddo?" Goku said rubbing her hair and making it messier than it already was from the flight home.

"Horrible, but now I'm great again!" Pan exclaimed, hugging Goku again. She went around the room hugging and introducing Claire to everyone who she hadn't seen in so long. Even Vegeta gave her a small hug although telling her afterwards that hugging was for the weaklings and asking if she had been training. Pan just laughed and tried avoiding the subject. But to no avail couldn't. "No, I haven't been. I didn't really have the time to with all the school and working I did." Pan closed her eyes and waited for Vegeta's remark about her being a baka and probably weak from not training. But, to her surprise he didn't.

Vegeta 'hmphed', "Brat, starting tomorrow we're starting your daily training again!" Pan laughed and then he walked off to go sit by Goku and eat as well. Pan laughed as Vegeta started yelling at Goku about eating all the food. "BAKA! You ate all the food and left none for anyone else!" She heard her grandmother ChiChi and Bulma laughing in the corner.

Trunks came up from behind Pan surprising her as he grabbed her. "Enjoying yourself?" He whispered softly in Pan's ear. Letting out a small giggle she nodded.

Pan heard a familiar feminine voice from behind her and Trunks. "Hi," turning around to see whom the voice belonged to Pan saw Marron. She stood there for a moment before running up to Pan and hugging her tightly. "Oh Panny it's so nice to see you again."

Pan smiled, and hugged Marron back. "It's good to see you too Marron. It's good to be home again."

Marron let go of Pan and looked both her and Trunks and let out a little smile. "Marron." Trunks started.

Marron shook her head and smiled bigger. "What happened, happened for a reason. All things do. They are just meant to be that way." Trunks smiled and nodded. "Anyway, do you guys remember Ubuu?" Marron went and grabbed Ubuu who was sitting silently on the couch.

Pan's eyes turned wide. "Ubuu!" She yelled out and hugged him tightly. "It's been so many years since the last time I saw you! What have you been doing all this time?"

Ubuu smiled shyly. "Nothing really." Pan smiled.

"Ubuu is my new fiancée as of yesterday." Marron held out her hand to show off the ring with a small diamond on top.

Hugging Marron, Pan yelled in excitement. "I'm so happy for you both! You guys make a perfect couple!"

"Thanks," Marron said giggling and began jumping up and down in excitement with Pan.

Trunks grabbed hold of Pan's shoulder. "It's time," he whispered. Pan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. They walked up to the front of the room and Trunks tapped on a glass of champagne with a spoon. "Everyone! Your attention please!" Trunks yelled out catching everyone in the room's attention. "Glass of champagne is needed." Everyone grabbed up a glass. "Pan and I have a big announcement." Trunks spoke as he hugged Pan lovingly.

"Well what ever it is hurry and tell!" Bulma said with excitement in her voice. From what she saw, the announcement was going to be good.

"Pan and I, well. We've decided to get married!" Everyone in the room gasped except Vegeta who smirked and Gohan whose eyes turned wide.

"WHAT?" Gohan yelled. "There is no way Pan is getting married! She's too young!" Gohan stomped forward to where Pan and Trunks were standing.

"Daddy!" Pan pouted.

"Outrageous! What'd you do get my daughter pregnant! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Gohan began to run towards Trunks. Trunks face turned horrified as he stood behind Pan.

"Daddy stop!" Pan yelled. "How dare you!"

"Gohan!" ChiChi and Videl shouted at Gohan each grabbing hold of one of his ears. "Outside this instant!" Videl ordered. Gohan began to protest. "NOW!" Gohan 'hmphed' and walked outside. After a series of yelling and the sound of Gohan finally giving up to whatever Videl was telling him, they walked in, Gohan looking more than a little upset. Videl smiled and nodded. "Continue both of you, please."

Trunks nodded and cleared his throat. "Anyway, as I was saying. Pan and I have decided to get married. We'll be getting married a week from now."

Gohan began to protest again against all of it. "Not a single word Gohan!" Videl said. She walked up to Trunks and Pan, "I'm so happy for the both of you! Welcome to the family Trunks." Videl smiled warmly hugging Pan.

"Oh my gosh!" Bulma exclaimed. "There's lots of planning to do! So much to do, so much to do! I've got to order the food, make arrangements for a private wedding.." Bulma began to rant on about what needed to be done. Trunks rolled his eyes. Turning to Pan he hugged her and sweetly kissed her on the lips.

"Well, everyone. We're rather tired now from the long trip home so we're going to bed now. Goodnight everyone!" Hugging and kissing everyone goodnight, the kids went upstairs to their rooms. Claire was set in her guestroom while everyone else went to their own rooms except Pan and Trunks who were sharing a room. Pan and Trunks unpacked their bags and got into their nightclothes. Pan sighed as she lay down in the bed she and Trunks were sharing. "So, what do we do now?" Trunks said seductively while smirking. Pan looked at him oddly as he let out a growl then jumping on top of Pan on the bed causing them both to bounce. Pan let out a giggle as Trunks captured her lips in a heated kiss.

~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~**~*~

Later that night in Bra's room



Bra rolled over onto Goten's chest and sighed thinking about what she and Goten just did. He placed an arm around her small body and began to speak. "You know Bra, I've been thinking."

"About what Goten?" Bra wondered.

Goten was silent for a minute. "All this talk about marriage. Trunks and Pan are not only getting married, but Marron and Ubuu are. It seems like everyone's getting married now."

"Oh?" Bra questioned as she cuddled up closer to Goten.

"Yeah." There was a long silence between the both of them, until Goten broke the silence. "Bra I want you to come out on the balcony with me." Goten got up, still totally in the nude as he held out his hand to Bra. Bra looked at him with a confused look on her face, but took his hand anyway. Wrapping a blanket around the both of them, they walked out onto the balcony that was connected to Bra's room. Holding her close they looked at the stars. He pointed out a shooting star to Bra.

"It's so beautiful!" Bra exclaimed as she watched it travel through the sky with a large blue, green and yellow tail trailing behind it.

Goten smiled and gave her a small kiss. "Not nearly as beautiful as you." Bra blushed. He grabbed her hand tightly. "Close your eyes Bra, make a wish." Smiling, she nodded and closed her eyes. After a minute or two she opened them again. "Made your wish?"

"Yes." Bra said as she continued to watch the sky carefully.

"What did you wish for?" Goten asked curiously staring at her hard.

She turned to look at him. "If I told you silly, it wouldn't come true." Bra gave a small almost sad smile. "Not that they usually do come true in the first place."

"But what if they did?" Goten questioned.

Bra looked at him at him curiously. "What do you mean by that?"

Goten smiled and grabbed her hand bringing it up and kissing it gently. He kneeled down on one knee, causing Bra's eyes to go wide. Tears began to fall from her eyes, Goten smiled and reached up wiping them away. "Bra," he began. "It would make me the happiest man in the universe if you would be my bride."

Falling to the ground Bra happily cried as she hugged Goten tightly. "Yes Goten. Yes." They sat there for a few minutes holding each other closely. "We've got to tell everyone! First thing in the morning!"

"No, not yet." Goten said.

"Why not?" Bra asked.

"This is Trunks and Pan's moment. We'll wait till after the wedding to tell anyone. And beside," he laughed. "I've got to prepare myself just in case your dad decides he wants to kill me."

Bra laughed with Goten. "Yeah, Daddy can get kind of mean."

"Kind of mean?" Goten laughed harder. "Your dad could be the devil himself!"

Bra just smiled. "I suppose your right." Bra let out a yawn. "So, after the wedding, we'll tell everyone. And to think, getting married when no one even knows that we are dating in the first place." Getting up from where they sat Bra walked over to her bed. "I think it's time we go to bed now though." Bra said as she patted the place next to her. Goten smiled and jumped on the bed.

Kissing her goodnight, he pulled her up close to him. "Good Bra-chan."

"Night Goten-kun." Bra sighed. Then both falling into a deep sleep.
