A Cool Change

Reminiscing

 

Pan whispered…Why did he kiss me? Why did I kiss him back? Who cares? It was heaven, but why now. How had everything changed? They barely spoke anymore, they did not train anymore, but every time the were together something more seems to be happening between them. However, right now she did not have the time to worry or be distracted by Trunks or that kiss. She could deal with Yuji- she had the tournament to focus on. One she intended to best Goten again and she wanted to fight her father, grandfather, or Vegeta. If no one transformed it would be great. Sadly, she knew she would probably never beat them but perhaps match then in regular form. It was much to hope for. Then again, they were her only challenge, her new goal, something to which to measure herself against. Man she had to stop she needed to sleep. Pan only had one week left to prepare.

 

Early the next morning found Trunks in a strange mood. For the first time he was afraid to confront his feelings and the girl which had caused them. Sure, he felt light when he remembered that sweet kiss, but now it felt surreal and strange. He did not bother to wait for breakfast he made out like a bat out of hell, spewing out that he had to make ready the company for Goten and Bra's appearance come Monday morning. It was Saturday, another working day for him- but soon- yes soon he would gather some time on his hands.

 

 

Monday Morning:

 

Bra and Goten made their way together to CC> Trunks and Bulma were introducing them to their new offices. However, they would not meet with the other board members until the next regular meeting on Tuesday. Bulma doubted that there would be a problem for it had been expected move. The only person that had Bulma feeling unsure was Trunks. Why hadn't her son done or said anything about Goten? Sure, they were best friends, but likely or not, they had not spent anytime together in five or six months. In addition, in that time Goten and Bra had developed a deep relationship. She tried to brush it off, really blaming it on Trunks' Busy schedule and Goten's new life with Bra. Was Trunks happy? Was he mad? She cleared her mind and figured that it would be fine. Those boys were like brothers, and soon very soon, she would see that improvement that these new developments would bring.

 

 

Thursday

 

The workweek went without a hitch. Trunks was grateful for all the smooth transactions that involved getting new executive vice presidents. But all of that could wait now. Mother, Kami love her, closed down shop, literally. They only things that remained open were the sales and troubleshooting department. It was time for him to get going and he smiled. The Worlds martial arts tournament would be starting in 12 hours. Like always, he was piloting the entire gang in the airbus. He smirked, “I got a whole weekend to myself!” he thought

 

Well at least I do not have to be at CC for a while. He flew home that night, excited buy the prospects of watching the match. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Friday: It was 5 AM. Trunks waited at the bus. His father was sparring with Goku in the GR. Those two knew how to be on time but Vegeta had no patience. Gohan arrived with Videl and Pan. Trunks came more to life.

 

They were leaving early for the championship - Videl checked her watch and shrugged, if they could not leave by 6 am, she was going solo to be with her father. After all, her company was organizing and sponsoring the event. She had to be there.

 

Goten and Bra showed their faces next. Well all the Sons and Briefs were accounted for; the only ones new would be the Chestnuts, Master Roshi, and Yamcha...

 

Pan hestitsnaly placed a hand on Turnks shoulder, “They will be here on time, have some patience too.”

 

Her touvch sent electricity down this spine. Trunks had not heard or seen form Pan since their kiss a week ago, and now her presence had him unnerved.

Quickly she pulled her hand away, fearing that his facial expression meant that things had changed... HE looked horrified!

 

Pan fumbled for words and lamely said, “Sorry, I didn't mean to touch you”

 

Trunks looked dumbly at her. IT had not registered to him that he had made such a face, until he saw the surprised look in Pan's eyes. For moment, uncertainties ran rampant and he could not stop the chain of events that tore through his soul.

Pan turned away completely confused with the expression that was crossing his face. Multitudes of emotions were present and she hand not he time to help decipher them.

This would have to wait. Trunks watched as Pan walked away from him again.

 

Watching the interaction, made Gohan sigh. He never witnessed the very self-assured man look so utterly pathetic in his life. Trunks was never at a loss. He thought of his daughter. She had so much fire- she would complement the man. There would be an infernal love, highly volatile and passionate. Maybe that was the treason for Trunks confusion. Pan caused him to feel something more then he was use to, or maybe it was because it was Pan herself that he had found that love. The evolution form friends to lovers were a difficult path.

 

 

Looking over at his brother though, showed that it was successful it could be done, Friends can, and do become lovers Pan and Trunks had a closer bond then what Goten and Bra had once had as friends.

 

“Saiyans” Vegeta startled Gohan out of his thoughts.

 

“Repeat that Vegeta” asked Gohan

 

Goku and Vegeta were wiping their faces form the morning exercises.

“I said Saiyans that is the explanation you seek.” He replied

 

“Yeah like that explains all, thought Gohan sarcastically.

 

Goku laughed, “I thought that I was the idiot!”

Vegeta gave him a dubious look, “You are”

They both laughed

 

Gohan still was thinking but was interrupted by Goku, “Son what Vegeta meant was they are drawn together by their blood. They are Saiyans, nothing else maters. Don't worry about them they will figure it out.”

 

His father retreated, chasing after his Saiyan.

He sighed again; his best friend was not a Saiyan- Why did all the supposed Saiyans forge strong relationships with the other? Ironically, he shared one with all of them too, but he was closest to the Namek.

 

Forget it he thought, no time to ponder this. He tried to stay focused on the battle he would have- wondering if he would get a change of going all out with his father. The hum of boiling Saiyan blood pumping; that excitement was pressing a smile on his lips.

 

By 5:30 AM the rest arrived and Trunks started the engines and they were off>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>

Final Match

Expert -Ladies Division: Bra Briefs VS Marron Chestnut

-Men's Division: Yuji Hatume VS Ryo Suzuki

 

Trunks rolled his eyes. He could care less about the men's division. Who cared if Yuji was in it? If Pan gave him some pointers then he should be there. However, Yamcha, Krillen, Chichi, and Videl were very happy for the young man. Like his mother, who only shrugged her shoulders, she too was not impressed. However, everyone else was more excited about the women.

 

Sickly, Trunks wanted to see Bra beat the snot out of Marron. He did not hate the girl, but he imagined it must be either a Saiyan side or a child like side creating that desire. His sister kicking the ass out of his former girlfriends brought him some joy! He smiled with eh gang, hoping that that would dissuade the irritation of Yuji Hatume.

 

Bra had won. Trunks left stands to go and congratulate her. He would rather do so then perpetuate his boredom with the Men's final. He mulled past he concessions, jumped the wall, and snuck into the competitor's area. Marron was not looking so good so he patted her shoulder. Marron grimaced under his touch.

“Ouch, you Saiyans sure put a wallop on”

He looked apologetic and Marron smacked him back. It was a friendly gesture, but a very low growl reached trunks sensitive hearing. He turned around to pinpoint where is came from. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a retreating figure. Pan had walked away from Bra, her intentions was to see the Men's division.

 

“Was that growl from her?” he questioned himself, Then shacked it off he pried Goten away form his sister and gave her a kiss. Bra laughed. She knew how happy he was for her winning that match.

Bra could have lost everything, stopped working, and wrecked his new car-but nothing would change the elation of her kicking Maroon's butt. Only the tow siblings knew how much hurt occurred during Trunk's and Marron relationship. Pan had been too young minded and Goten off at school to really know how hurtful that had been. Bra was Trunks comforter at that time and it had really bonded the siblings. Smiling she watched her brother snake a peek at Pan's back. Pan was watching the fight.

 

Bra took the last opportunity before Goten pulled her away; “Pan, if she would have known, she would have killed her.”

 

Startled Trunks looked back at Bra. Nodding her head, she reminded him why Pan was never told too much about Trunks and Marron relationship—Pan was fierce and had a great loyalty to Trunks—if she had known, then or even now to this day Pan would have done more then just beat Marron. She probably would have killed. It was not as if she had not killed before, but Marron was a friend, a good friend.

Another reason he never divulged the true hurt Marron had caused him, then again hadn't he deserved some of it? AH, yes his voce of reasoned answered him

Things had not changed that much- like then he was still a slave to CC. Bound and determined to keep it highly successful—Time he needed more time.

 

 

Screams and cheers broke his thoughts---Pan was ecstatic! Obviously, Yuji had won the Men's division. In horror, he watched as Yuji ran from the arena and picked up a happy Pan in an embrace. Nostrils flared, without looking, he knew the Saiyans flanked him.

 

Trunks father was to his right, Gohan to his left. Goku was directly behind him, Goten was on his right, and Bra was on his left. Their breathing synchronized with Trunks. Trunks raised Ki caused the occurrence. An immediate response to him. All the Saiyans prepared for a fight. They were like a synchronized watch all eyes directed to Pan and Yuji's embrace.

“Shit” muttered Bra she saw her father twitch at her mute statement.

Realization settled quickly for everyone. They were not going to fight a great enemy but were ready to stop Trunks from reaction any further. They were all still and watching Pan, which caused a distinct burn. Everyone there had a claim to Pan, she was a Saiyan- that man, Yuji, had no right to hold her in such a way.

 

Goku placed a hand on Trunks shoulder as a gentle reminder and restraint. Just as quickly, he had placed one on Gohan's shoulder. Both Saiyans were having the hardest time quieting their Ki.

 

With a hug and a kiss, Pan was breathless. Yuji had won- she was very proud of him. She felt the Kis flicker behind her though. She gently tried to extract Yuji from her without being rude. However, he had a firm grip on her and he wanted her! HE felt so elated!

Pan felt the growl before she could actually say she heard it. It was so low that it could have been mistaken it for the roar of the crowd. NO, she knew that that was not the case; she slowly looked behind her to see her family looking feral! Goku had hands on both Trunks and her father. Goten looked angered and bra worried. Vegeta looked like he smelled something bad and she correctly assumed that it was Yuji.

Disengaging herself from her friend, she held him further away in a firm grip. “Yuji that was great- go met your fans; I have to go get ready for the draw!”

Reluctantly he let go and rushed back to the arena, to receive more accolades.

 

Pan forced her to approach her Saiyans. She tried her best to disarm them with her smile. Why did she feel the need to explain herself?

Angrily, she pushed aside that thought, why could not she have a normal life without the world angriest family and friends. Even Bra was casting her looks. She gave up- it was not her fault that Yuji grabbed her; she did not reach back nor return the gesture. Stepping past them, she wound her way to a wall and crossed her arms like those that Vegeta did. She dared anyone to approach her.

 

Silently agreeing that it was over, Goku released Trunks and Gohan. In turn, Vegeta and he strode toward Pan. They were the only two brave enough to tackle Pan's stare. Gohan shook off the feeling and persuaded Trunks to leave with him for a moment. Goten grasped Bra's hand and went to conspire a plan.

 

Vegeta spoke, “You're toying with him”

Not even bothering to figure which him he refereed to Pan proclaimed her purpose for the day, “Vegeta my concern is for the draw and the today's fight- nothing will interfere with my purpose”

 

Clearly surprised at her biting remark, he smirked, thinking Spoken like a True Siayan.

 

 

Why did he listen to Gohan? He thought for the millionth time that day.

“Trunks you should compete” He smiled a conspirators smile.

 

Trunks should have known he was in trouble. Then he thought why not? HE could use the exercise. Gohan dragged him over to place Trunks' name into the competitor's box father Masters Division. Luckily, he was allowed to enter this late. IT helped knowing enough people—well them knowing him. He the rushed to the lockers with Gohan. The duo looked around and the Gohan produced the extra outfit for Trunks.

Questioning, “Don't you have something else?” he asked

“No, don't worry, just wear the spandex, I don't want you to wear the Tunic”

 

Kami why did Gohan talk him into this? It was something he and Goten would have done. Thanking the Kais, he did not have to wear the Great Saiyaman Tunic, cape, and helmet too. He donned the black spandex…
