Disclaimer: All right, Uhm lets see. I do not own the Dragon Ball Series, or the song "Here without you." By 3 doors down.

--------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Three month had nearly passed since I last saw her, I do not know why she had left she just did. Was it because I didn't know how I was feeling at the time, if she only stayed a little while longer, I would have told her, told her how I truly felt.

I love her. There I said it I love her, more then my own life, more then the stars in the sky, more then anything in this universe, I love her.

Who is she, she is the stars in the sky, the graceful dolphin in the ocean, the diamond that glistens, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is Pan Son, the love of my life.

However, she is now gone, gone and I do not know where to even start looking for her. I remember why she had left.

--------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

A thousand lights had made me colder and I do not think I can look at this the same

------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

*Flashback*

She had just turned seventeen, I was nearing thirty, but that was not stopping me from being friends with her, she was my best one after all.

She came up to me one day, "Trunks." She came up to me; she looked like she was crying.

"Pan? Why are you crying?" I asked putting my arms around her.

"Trunks? Am I pretty?"

All right, where did that come from, did she just ask me if she were pretty. "Pan of course you are."

"Trunks, I'm not talking about pretty as she is a pretty little girl, I'm talking about breathtakingly beautiful, knockout gorgeous type of pretty."

"Pan, where did that come from."

"I told Bra and Marron I had a crush on you, they told me that you only go for women who are so breathtakingly beautiful and knockout gorgeous."

That was when I had found out that she had a crush on me, I was extremely flattered, what I did next was not so cool.

"Pan, you have a crush on me?"

She then blushed; I had never seen her blush before. "Well... uh, you see Uhm..."

"Pan?"

"Ever since I was ten, I had loved you ever since I was ten."

"Pan, I uh, don't know what to say."

"Does that mean you love me too?" She smiled, I could never resist that smile, but seeing, as she was only seventeen, I had to tell her no.

"Pan, I'm flattered, however you are still just a little girl, and I can never give you the love you deserve."

Pan lowered her head; she did not want me to see the tears in them. "That's alright Trunks." She tried to be strong.

"Pan." I tried to convince her that loving me was not a good idea. "Pan, if you love me then you wouldn't have the experience you need to be in a relationship, with people your own age.

"That's alright Trunks, I understand, you don't think I am pretty enough for you." She ran out of the room, and that night out of my life.

"No, Pan that's not what I meant." I tried running after her, the truth was I did love her, I just knew that nothing good would come out of us being together.

*End of Flash back*

But all the miles had separate
------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

So now here I am, sitting alone in my bedroom, hoping she will return, I know not to get my hopes up, she's probably dating someone else who is worthy of her beauty, I know I shouldn't have been so into my emotions and feelings. I should have told her I loved her when I had the chance.

However now because of my stupidity I may never see her again. "Pan where are you?" I would ask every night as I looked up at the stars, wondering if she was wondering the same thing. The only difference was she knew where I was and could return to me any time, but as the miles separate us it only a matter of time before I forget her.

I heard a knock on my door, it was my mother, and "Trunks are you going to come out of there." She asked, no one knew why I shunned my life from everyone, mother thought I was depressed, she even tried setting me up with other girls, the only one I even remotely tried was Marron Chestnut, however my undying love for Pan had been an obstacle in our relationship.

"Mother, I'm fine if that's what you are wondering."

"Trunks, you have been in this room for the last three months, you only come out of it to work, or train. You haven't slept or eaten in months, what has gotten into you."

"Mother have you ever been in love with someone you knew you shouldn't be with?"

"Trunks where'd that come from?" She asked.

"Just answer the question. have you?"

"Yeah your father."

"Dad, but you guys are...

"Married." She finished. "Trunks tell me what this is really about, why are you acting so secretive and locking yourself in."

"I'm in love with a girl, a girl I shouldn't even be thinking this way about, however I can't seem to get her off my mind." I take a seat on my bed.

"Tell me this girl do I know her?"

I smiled, "Yeah, you do."

"Is it Marron?"

"No, it's not Marron; I never saw her as more then a sister, no…" I hesitate to tell her "It's….Pan."

"Pan." She said more like a statement then a question though, I lowered my head.

I nod. "Yeah, I love her more then I thought possible, she is my reason for living.

"Have you told her?" She asked, raising her right brow.

"No, however she had told me she loved me." I slump down into my bed, I would rather hide away in the comfort of my bedding, then have to tell mother of my feelings.

"That's wonderful Trunks, now you guys can be together."

"No, mother don't you see it's anything but wonderful, in fact it's far from it, I told Pan I couldn't show her the love she deserves and that she is better off not knowing me, mom when I said that she left." I sighed.

"Trunks."

"That was three months ago, and now I'm going crazy not knowing where she is."

"Trunks, I'm sure she's just venting, she'll return to you, where would she go?"

"I have no Idea; I don't even know where to start looking for her mom." I sighed running a hand through my lavender locks.

"Trunks, don't worry Pan is probably just somewhere cooling off; you know how stubborn and unreasonable she can be."

I smile, "That's the many reasons why I love her."

Mother came and sat on the bed next to me; she put an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. "Trunks if you love Pan as much as you say you do, you will not be wasting away in here, and you'd be using what resources you have, to find her."

I laughed, she was right, I have resources, money, connections, and it should not be too hard to find her. "Thanks mom, you are absolutely right, I just have to use my resources to find her."

"No problem Trunks, but do me a favor first."

"Yeah, what."

"Eat something, and get a goodnights rest before you look for her." She asked in a motherly fashion.

I smile, "Yeah of course." I give her hug as she gets up to leave. "Oh, and mom?"

She turns around. "Yes, hon."

"Thanks."

"No problem, sweetheart." She smiled and left.

I decided to call up my private chef, and have him cook me up a meal fit for the saiyan prince, lets just say he was more then thrilled to make it. Considering I have not asked him to cook for the last three months.

I ate the meal, which was delicious, prime rib, spare ribs, baby back ribs, turkey, ham, veal, filet mignon, T-bone steak, chicken, Cornish games hens. lobsters, crabs, mashed and baked potatoes, potato and macaroni salads, stuffing, artichokes with melted butter, rolls and for desert black forest cake. It was feast fit for a king, or should I say prince.

After I ate, I fell asleep. All that eating had worn me out, the truth is I was glad to sleep, I have not had a good nights sleep for months, ever since Pan had left. I always had a better nights sleep when, she was right next to me sleeping, no we never did anything but sleep, but the fact that she was there was comforting.

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------

They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face

--------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

I had dreamt of her face; however, it tortured me, not knowing where she was. I wanted so bad to find her, and seeing her beautiful face in my dreams made me more determined to find Pan, no matter how long or far I had to look for her.

A/n; Stopping this one here. How was it so far? The next chapter should be up shortly; I am half way through typing it up.
