"Trunks?"
Trunks turned around. "Pan:? what are you doing here?"
"Hello Trunks" She smiled.
"Pan, baby what's wrong, why are you here so late"
Pan looked around as if she were scared. "I'm uh... well...I came to see you" she stuttered.
Trunks chuckled a bit. "Yeah, I see that, but why are you visiting so late" Pan didn't know what to say .
"Trunk can we go inside?, It's kinda cold out here." She smiled. Trunks still wanted to know why Pan was at his house so late.
"Pan, tell me why you are here?" Trunks said as he followed her into the house. Bra was still up and she was talking on the phone to her fiance Goten Son.
"I'll call you back later, babe Trunks just got in" She told Goten, she then saw Pan. "And so did Pan, I'll talk to you later" She hung up the phone.
"Pan? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Hello Bra. I just came to see you guys that's all" Trunks still wasn't buying it.
"No, there's something more, you're here for a reason" Trunks replied, "So what is it?"
"No reason. Can't a girl go and visit her friends?" Pan was getting defensive.
"No, not at this time of night. So, what is the real reason why you are here?" Trunks yelled.
"Trunks don't yell at her" Bra defended Pan, "Pan tell me why are you here."
Pan sighed in defeat, "Fine, I'll tell you" Pan took a deep breath.
"Go on?" Bra said
"Robert was drinking, he becomes a whole other person when he's drunk, I had to get away from him" Pan explained
Trunks eyes went wide, and almost turned green, with rage. "He didn't hurt you did he?"
"Uh.. no.. of course he didn't" She lied.
"Pan don't lie! Did he hurt you?"
"No he didn't" She continued to lie. "I'm afraid to go home. Bra can I stay here?" She pleaded.
"Yeah sure, come on" Bra led Pan upstairs to her bedroom, Pan wanted to shower.
"Bra can I take a shower?" Pan asked
"Yes, of course Pan" Pan went into the bathroom, while Bra searched for some night clothes for Pan to put on. She really didn't have anything that was Pan's style, so she went to Trunks' room.
"Trunks?" She asks.
"Yeah?"
"Do you have anything that Pan can put on when she's done showering?"
Trunks got up and pulled an old shirt out of his closet and threw it at her. "Here you go"
"Thanks" Bra walked back to her bathroom. She knocked on the door.
"Pan?, I have something for you to put on when your finished. Pan?" She got no answer.
~~The shower must be too loud~~she thought as she slowly opened the door. "Pan?" She set the shirt on the counter. She was about to leave but heard sobbing coming from the shower. She slowly walked over to the shower and saw Pan laying on the shower floor in a fetal positon. She also saw the cuts and bruises all over her body. She gasped. "Pan?"
She slowly put her hands on Pan's shoulder, but Pan deflected it. "Pan It's me, It's Bra"
"Bra?" Pan's voice was trembling.
"Oh Pan?" Bra stepped in the shower and wrapped her arms around her friend in a protective fashion. "It's alright, It's gonna be alright" Bra tried to sound assuring. She stroked the top of Pan's head, as she continued to cry.
"Bra?" Pan asked.
"Yeah?"
"Promise me you won't tell Trunks?" Pan pleaded, her voice trembling with fear.
"Pan, I can't promise that"
"Please, Bra" She continued to plead. "Please"
"Alright, I won't tell Trunks, but promise me you will"
"I can't"
"Why not?"
"Because then he won't love me anymore. He won't want to love me." Pan cried.
"Trunks loves you no matter what. He won't despise you" Bra exclaimed. "But I promise, I won't breathe a word to Trunks"
"Thank you" Bra got up and left, leaving Pan to finish up her shower.
~~You made me promise not to tell Trunks, you didn't mention anyone else~~Bra thought to herself. She walked to her parents' bedroom. She knocked on the door. Luckily her mother was still awake. "Mom" She opened the door.
"Bra, what is it?"
"Where's dad?"
"He's in the GR" Bulma answered
"Oh. Can I talk to you?"
"Sure, sweetheart, what is it?"
"Promise me, what I'm about to tell you, you will not repeat it to anyone"
"Bra, I can't promise something unless I know what it is." Bulma had a worried look on her face.
"Mom, promise me?" She pleaded.
"Alright, I promise, now what is it?"
Bra took a deep breath, "I think Pan's husband is abusing her"
"What?, Are you sure?"
Bra nodded, "Pan came here tonight, she asked if she could stay here. I told her she could, she went to take a shower, when I went into give her a change of clothes for her to sleep in, I heard her sobbing on the shower floor."
"She was crying?"
"Mom, she wasn't only crying, she was trembling with fear"
"Oh my! What else?"
"Her body was all bruised up, it was pretty bad"
"Did she tell you how long it's been going on?"
"No, she wouldn't say much. She just made me promise not to tell Trunks."
"Tell me what?" Bra and Bulma looked towards the door and there stood Trunks with a worried look on his face.
Bra looked at her mother, back to Trunks, then back to her mother. "Trunks, I'm sorry I can't tell you anything, I promised"
"Bra if somethings going on with Pan, I would like to know" Trunks explained.
"Who said there was something going on with Pan."
"Is there?" He asked.
Bra just stood there. She closed her eyes. ~~If I tell Trunks, Pan will be furious, If I don't then Trunks will be furious, What do I do~~She thought as she continued to stare at Trunks, who was adament on knowing the truth.
A/N: will Bra tell Trunks, about what's happening to Pan? If so how will he handle the situation.
