Chapter 15: Change of Plans

Have you ever made a terrible mistake? Something you know you shouldn't have done but did it anyway. It was a deadly sin. One of those guilty pleasures. And you know that no matter how wrong it was, you would do it again and again. You did do it again and again. You didn't want it to stop because you knew you wouldn't feel anymore loved in your entire life. If you had the chance to change it you would do it again just to memorize it. Tantalize it. Live it. You wanted to live in that moment forever because you knew that when you left, everything would turn back to the way it was before. And when everything is back to normal, something happened. You found something that made you want to change what you did. But you couldn't. You were stuck with your decision, and even now, you aren't sure if it was bad or good. There's nothing you can do. And in the end, you'll loose everything you know.

-From the Diary of Son, Pan

(Son, Carina)

Sometimes it was hard pretending to be `Carina' and not Pan. There were times when I just wanted to shout it out to Trunks and tell him to stop calling me Carina. I didn't want it to be Trunks and Carina anymore. I wanted it to be Trunks and Pan. But I knew that would never happen. He could never accept me. That much I knew. It almost broke my heart in two. I knew I was falling in love with him.

Today he had brought me a dozen red roses. They were sitting on a vase on my nightstand next to my bed. Right next to us. When he showed up today, I didn't know what to expect. We didn't have anything planned, just to hang out. Something I never really did. I didn't have any friends to do that with. But when he showed up, I was in shock. Nobody had ever gotten me flowers. I was flattered, and I wanted to cry. I wasn't used to letting others into my heart because there weren't many that wanted to be in my heart. I didn't know what to do. So I brought them up to my room, put them in a vase while he sat down on my bed. That was when it all started.

Things had gotten heated really fast. It was hard to resist him. We had only been together a few days, but already I wanted more. I knew I shouldn't do this, but I felt as if I didn't have a choice. It felt so good. I wasn't used to the attention he was giving me, but I knew it was only the beginning.

We were all over each other for over an hour before my Uncle Goten knocked on my door. I had to fix my clothes before I opened the door of course. I had to re-button on my blouse and fix my hair. Trunks had to but his shirt back on and button up his jeans again. No we didn't do anything. My hand didn't go any lower than the bottom of his abs. I was just in a heated moment. I didn't know how far it was going to go but I was glad that my uncle came when he did. I don't think I'm ready for something like that again.

My uncle just wanted to see how we were. Nothing special. We told him we were fine and that nothing was going on. He looked really suspicious and I had a clue as to what he was thinking. I had a feeling I it had something to do with what happened before. But that was two years ago and I didn't want to dwell on it. I knew I would have to tell Trunks someday, but I really didn't. After a minute or two my uncle told me that my parents wanted to see me when Trunks left. After that he exited my room. After that Trunks and I had just talked. Nothing really. He did hold me and we did sit on my bed, but nothing special. He left around five thirty and he promised he'd call me that night. The first time we would talk over the telephone. He left, and that brought me to where I was now.

I was sitting in my parent's study again. I didn't know if this was going to be good or bad, but I knew it was something serious. They never talked to me, and if they called me into their study to talk, then it wasn't something I could ignore. I sat there patiently waiting for my father to get off the phone with `a very important client'. My mother was sitting patiently waiting for my father to finish up his work. I needed for him to hurry up. I didn't know what my parents had to talk to me about but I wish they would hurry up. I did have a life outside of their perfect little world. Not a very big, popular, or interesting life, but a life none-the-less.

I sat there for another ten minutes and I was just about to get up and walk out when my father hung up the phone. That was when there was silence. It was an awkward silence and I didn't like it. I knew they were hiding something. I felt as if it had to do with Trunks. I was almost afraid that they were going to say the engagement was off. I didn't want that. I was starting to have feelings for him. I didn't know where they were going, but I wanted to find out. Of course I was afraid I would get hurt when he found out who I was. I was afraid he would leave me and go back to Marron; granted they never broke up, but I knew it would happen soon. I just knew it.

"Goten says things are going well with you and Trunks." My father sat there at his desk as he spoke. He didn't even look at me when he said it. He started going through some papers and that was where all his attention was going to. After a few moments of silence I realized he expected me to confirm what my uncle had said.

"Things are fine. Is that all you wanted to know or is there more, because I would like to go now?" I knew they were hiding something and I wanted them to know just how impatient I was.

"No, that is not all. And you can watch you language. You are to talk to me with respect. You are my daughter and I have raised you since you were born. You should be thankful I have a job such as I do to give you everything you want!" My father just didn't understand what I was going through. He didn't know that I have known Trunks for many years. He didn't know Trunks hated me. He didn't know Trunks had a girlfriend.

"Then what is it? I have other things I wish to be doing at this time." I looked over at my mother. She was just sitting there comfortably looking on without saying anything. I was in my pajamas which consisted of a pair of gray sweatpants and sports bra, and my hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. I really needed to get out of here. I needed to talk to Goten and see how he knew how things were going between Trunks and I.

"I want to let you know that your time with Trunks on Friday has been cancelled. There will be a meeting to announce the engagement to the CEO's of all the other companies that Capsule Corp. and Son Corp have merged with."

"I thought they were there last time?" I asked. I really didn't like these `meetings' my parents held. They always meant I had to do shopping. I hated it. Everyone always got so hyped up about spending money on outfits they only wear once. It disgusted me, but I knew it was mandatory for me. Sometimes I wished I had a normal family. No mansion, billions of dollars, and no Saiyan heritage.

"When does it start and how long is it?" I asked exasperated. I really didn't want to go, but I thought that was obvious.

"It will start at seven and Trunks will be escorting you this time. You will enter together and you will leave together. It will end a little after midnight. Do you understand?"

"Yes father. Is that all, or do you need to tell me anything else?"

"No, you may go." I thanked Kami and glanced at my mother who had remained silent throughout the entire conversation.

I quickly made my way out of the room and went in search of Goten. I had a few minutes and I needed to know why he was telling my parents how things were going with Trunks and I. I found him in his room talking to his girlfriend Paris. The door was open so I just walked in. I sat on the edge of his bed as he stayed lying down. He smiled when he saw me. I smiled back and waited for him to finish his conversation. After telling Paris he loved her and he would call her later, he hung up the phone and just stared at me.

"What do you want?" Goten asked with an angry tone. I knew he was teasing. He's never mad at me.

"I just talked to Mom and Dad," I said casually.

"So?" he asked confused.

"They said that you said Trunks and I are getting along fine."

"Yeah, I did. Was I not supposed to?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because you don't know what's going on with us. I haven't talked to you about him yet so how would you know?" I asked calming down a bit.

"When I knocked on your door earlier today, I heard rummaging, as if you two were fixing your clothes. You had to unlock the door to let me in. When you answered you were flustered. And of course, your shirt was buttoned wrong. I'm guessing you didn't notice."

At this point my face was flushed. So how much did he know?

"What do you mean Marron came by today?" Trunks was almost at hysterics.

"She came by the house today to see if you were here. It's obvious she didn't know that you're engaged," Bulma stated matter-of-factly.

"No I haven't. Do you tell her?" Bulma shook her head. "Good. I want to tell her myself."

"And when will that be?" Trunks' mother was getting mad. She didn't want Carina to get hurt over her son's stubbornness.

"I don't know. I don't know how to tell her. I just hope Carina doesn't find out."

"Nor do I. Go upstairs and do your homework." Trunks stood up and went up to his room. On his way up he ran into his father.

"Your mother's right boy." Trunks looked at his father confused. "Don't ruin it with the Son girl." Trunks couldn't believe what he was hearing. His father wanted him to marry a `weak human?' What had gotten into him? Was he feeling alright? Was he sick?

"Are you serious?"

"Don't mess it up boy. Or else you will pay the consequences." With that, Vegeta left to go to the gravity room.

`What does father know that I don't?'

"Are you two sleeping together?" My uncle was being completely serious. I knew from the look in his eyes. My eyes never wavered away from his as I answered.

"No, not yet at least." He nodded his response. It was silent for a moment before I decided to change the subject. "Is Paris going to be there Friday night?"

"Yeah, I'm escorting her." I nodded. I'm glad. Goten really loved Paris. They really belonged together. They had been dating for three years and I was expecting Goten to propose anytime now. Especially since I'm `engaged' now. "You do know that Son Corp.'s smaller companies will be there don't you?" I nodded my head not knowing where he was going with this. "Some of them are bringing their sons." Again I nodded still not understanding the hidden meaning. "That means Uub will be there."

That hit me hard.
