Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Life Isn't Worth Living Without You ❯ Turn Off The Lights ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: Read the last one.

Hey, next chapter's up! In this chapter, it's 2:14 and Pan's having trouble sleeping. The song I have picked for this chapter may not have too much to do with the beginning of the chapter but I think it has to do much with the rest. You know, it's about her not needing love so (shrug). As always, enjoy!

Turn Off The Lights

`He's back…and he's not leaving `til he gets what he wants,' the thought was slowly killing her. She had never been more frightened for her life, and the worst part was that she couldn't even attempt to flee the town because Vegeta would surely catch her and demand a reason why she did so.

It was 2:14 A.M. and she wasn't getting to sleep any time soon. She became very aware of every sound or movement that went on around; so aware and so scared, that she nearly hit the ceiling if she even thought she heard or saw anything; that's a pretty bad thing to have.

She was also very tense; anybody could see that. Who could blame her though? Just the thought of him made her want to cry. Could she tell? Should she wait for something the banquet?

Perhaps tell after the banquet was over so she wouldn't ruin it? Or would she do nothing and let him kill her because she was scared that if she told anybody, he would kill her which he's going to do it either way so shouldn't she just tell?!

She didn't know what she wanted to do. All she knew was he was coming for her. She stirred her cookie in her milk, letting it soften up. "Brat?" a hand placed itself on her shoulder.

Pan jumped and pulled just about every muscle in her body. "Kuso! Don't do that, Vegeta! Ow!" she would have rubbed one arm but the other one was hurting too. "If you weren't so tense, you wouldn't have hurt yourself," he told her, sitting down at the kitchen table with her.

"A little too late for advice, don't you think?" she spat her mood right in his face. "Why are you so tense all of a sudden, anyway? Is being bitchy all the time not good enough for you now?" he stole one of her cookies, dipped it in her milk, and bit into it.

"Well, Almighty Vegeta, King of Saiyans, I find that information to be none of you business." "Oh really? So I have to guess?" "I would rather not talk about it," she said, biting into cookie. "This has to do with someone you know?" "I don't want to talk about it." "They here in town?"

"I said I don't want to talk about it, Vegeta." "This has something to do with your parent, doesn't it?" "I SAID I DON'T want to TALK about IT, okay?!?" she bellowed, slamming her fist down on the table.

"Fine, brat, fine! Hold it in all you want but it's not helping you any. Forget I asked; I'll find out anyway," he said, for sure. "There's nothing to hide so whatever. What do you want, anyway?!" she asked, impatiently.

"Excuse my interruption on your dreaming but the last time I checked, this was my home I believe you are the guest, so show some respect for once." He was right.

She had barely shown him any respect since she met him. Pan was always frustrated when he came around. She couldn't stand the fact that whenever they fought he always…won!

"Okay, fine. Would you mind, King Vegeta sir, telling why the hell you are in here?" she was a hopeless case. Vegeta rolled his eyes at her. "If you MUST know, I just came in from training."

"Which reminds me to remind you that you don't have all night to be drinking milk and eating cookies because we have to train to tomorrow; 7:00 A.M. to be exact and no later than that."

"I'll be there, kingy, don't worry," she heard someone coming and tensed up. "Calm down, girl. T's just the boy," Vegeta couldn't understand why she was so…scared.

"Dad?" Trunks came in. "Oh, hey dad, Pan. I thought I hears some screaming down here." Trunks knew Pan couldn't resist yelling at someone, kind of like his mom at times.

It's getting so lonely inside this bed.

Don't know if I should lick my wounds

Or say `woe is me'

Instead.

Pan spotted him. His presence made her feel lonely. She had never wanted to be with someone but now that she found someone, he was a defect. He was so flirty and just didn't seem like mate material at all. She tried to tell herself he wasn't worth the risk.

There's an aching inside my head.

It's tell me

You're better of

Alone.

It suddenly got hot. She almost began to sweat. She could understand what the feeling was that was overwhelming her. It happened a lot when he came around but she never showed it.

But after midnight,

Morning will come.

And the day will see if,

It you will get some.

"Well, you can thank the brat's big mouth for waking you up," he pointed to Pan, who was only worried about giving Trunks a dirty look. "Hi, Pan-chan, he he," he knew she was still mad at him for kissing her. She sure did give him a mouth full!

They say

"That girl, you know she acts too tough, tough, tough,"

But it's till I turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.

They say

"That girl, you know she acts so rough, rough, rough!"

but it's till I turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.

"Don't talk to me, pretty boy! Go let one of your little whores kiss your ass like they usually do! Oh, that's right, as far as you are concerned, I am your little hoe!" she was ready to throw the milk right in his face.

And I say

Follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down

Till you see all my

Dreams.

Not everything

in this magical world

is quite what it

seems.

"Um, dad? Can I talk to Pan `alone' for a minute?" he hinted for Vegeta to leave. "Fine, I don't care. I'm going to go take a shower," he got out of his chair. "Remember Pan, 7:00 A.M." "It's a date, old man," she said. "You wish," he mumbled, walking out.

I looked above the other day.

Cuz I think I'm

Good and ready for

A change.

Trunks took Vegeta' seat at the table. "Pan, I'm getting the impression that you are still mad at me, he said, like it was that hard to tell. "You know why you're getting the impression, Trunks? You're getting it because I AM still mad at you, you bastard!" `He has some nerve, kissing me!' If glaring could kill, Trunks would be dead three times over be now!

I live

My life

By the moon,

(By the moon)

If it's high, play it low.

If it's harvest, go slow.

And if it's full then

Go.

"Awe! Come on, Pan-chan, it was just a kiss! A little peck on the cheek!" Trunks whined. "I found it quite rude of you, Trunks Briefs," she sounded all proper and snobby. "You know you like it," he winked at her.

But after midnight,

Morning will come.

And the day will see if,

If you're gonna get some.

She gave a small blush and frowned, "I did not! Women don't have much value to you, do we?!" "I never said that, Panny-chan, I like you a lot!" "No, you like my body a lot. And don't call me Panny-chan or anything like that," she hated it when guys couldn't think about nothing more than getting her in bed; it made her sick!

They say "That girl, you know she acts too tough, tough, tough,"

But it's

till I turn off the lights,

turn off the lights.

They say

"That girl, you know she acts so rough, rough, rough!"

but it's till I turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.

"But Pan-" "I don't want to talk to you Trunks! All you've done ever since you met me was hit on me. You haven't asked anything about my childhood or what I want out of life or anything of the sort. Even Vegeta's asked more about me than you yet you claim you like me so much!"

And I say

Follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down

Till you see all my

Dreams.

It was mean for Pan to say, but it was true. Trunks knew it was true too. He couldn't help it though. It had always worked for other women but Pan was different, very different. Having him hang all over her was the last thing she wanted.

Not everything

in this magical world

is quite what it

seems.

"…I-I'll see you later," Trunks got up and walked out to go sit in his room and feel bad for the rest of the night. He past Vegeta, who sensed his sadness and went to go ask Pan about it.

And I'm searching for things

That I just cannot see.

Why don't you, don't you, don't you come and

Be with me.

"Girl, what did you do to my son?" he took his seat once again. "I told his ass off, that's what!" She threw her cookie in the milk, splashing some milk. `I knew it,' he sighed.

I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe

That I can do it on my own

Without my heart on my

Sleeve.

"You're son had no respect for me or any other women besides his mother and sister at all! I'm nothing more than another thing to screw as far as he's concerned!" `My life is so horrible! I've already past it; it really needs to catch up!' "No you're not," Vegeta said, wiping the milk up with a cloth on the table.

I'm running,

I'm running,

Catch up with me

Life.

Where is the love that I'm looking to find?

"My foot," she muttered. "I'm serious, though I understand your anger. It's not his fault, you know." "What's not his fault?" she asked. "The way he acts around women. He's never had problems with women until you showed up."

"Oh, so I'm to blame?!" "I didn't say that, girl! I'm saying he's having a tough time. He really likes you but doesn't know how to act with you. You're not like the others he's met and actually LIKES you as more than what you think." "How do you know?" she asked, unconvinced.

"Look, I just do. Have patience with him. How would you like it if he went off on you every time you yelled at him for no reason?"

"Hey, I resent that, you old bag! I don't yell at him for no reason!" "Look what you are doing now. There's no reason to yell when I'm sitting two feet from you nor is there a reason to insult me."

It's all in me.

Can't you see?

I can see. Why can't you see

It's all in me? Yeah!

"Ugh!" Again, he was right. She couldn't stand him! "Just…just leave me alone," she said in a quiet tone, looking down at nothing. "Hate the truth, I see? Well if you actually told people what was wrong with you, they just might be able to help you," he wanted to see if she would cough up some info.

All in me, yeah!

Where is your logic?

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

She was silent. "Fine, don't talk. But I suggest you give my son a chance. There's not too many men that are going to look at you for what you are or be willing to change to do that." "Love…it's just not worth risking pain for, Vegeta. Not to me. I don't want love…it hurts," she whispered.

Who do you need?

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

Where can you turn

"I used to think so too. I wanted nothing more than to have immortality and to rule the universe forever alone. Then I met Bulma…and that all changed. I didn't care to be immortal or rule the universe or be the best. I would have given it all up just to be with her."

(Follow me, Follow me, Follow me

down, down, down, down

till you see all my

dreams)

In your delicate time of need.

(Not everything in this

magical world is quite

what it seems)

"Why? I mean, you didn't even know if she would stick around. It's crazy," she said. "Well being crazy was nice. She saved me from ruining my life. Don't ruin yours by refusing to get close to anyone. I know how it feel to think it's a curse but it's not." He got up and walked to the entrance of the kitchen.

Follow me down,

Follow me down, down, down,

I do not need

I do not need nobody.

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

Before leaving, he said "You want to know something really not worth it? Throwing away a good future with someone who would be willing to spend the rest of their days with you just to live forever and see everything around you die and decay until you are the only thing left; that…that isn't worth it at all," and he was gone.

Pan thought about what he said. `He-he's wrong. I don't need love;' she thought. `Why is my life so complicated? I…I just want to be normal like everyone one else…I want a life without pain,' a tear tolled down her eye.

Follow me down,

Follow me down, down, down,

I do not need

I do not need nobody.

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

Follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down

(Till you)

See all my dreams,

See all my dreams.

Follow me, follow me, follow me down, down, down, down

(Till you)

See all my dreams,

See all my dreams.

All in me, yeah!

Where is your logic?

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

Who do you need?

(Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights.)

Where can you turn

(Follow me, Follow me, Follow me

down, down, down, down

till you see all my

dreams)

In your delicate time of need.

(Not everything in this

magical world is quite

what it seems)
