This is Chapter 13 of Ready to Run! Ohh, today is January 1! Meaning it is not only the New Year, but it is also my birthday! Happy Birthday to me!!
Last Time: "Marron, you've made me think… think about things I hadn't even thought of until I had dinner with you!"
"Aww really? That's so sweet, like what?"
"Like that I need someone who deserves me, and is serious about a relationship. Not someone who runs out when things look bad. You really made me think when you said I deserved better."
"Trunksie, I was only telling you the truth-"
"I know, which is why, I want to give this to you," He pulled out the 6 karat Harry Winston and placed it on her finger, "Marron, you are the girl for me."

Chapter 13
Pan switched on the T.V. just long enough to hear,
"Trunks Briefs is holding a celebration at Capsule Corporation for something more then the holidays-"
Pan had absolutely no idea what else he could be celebrating but she knew this was her chance to go get Trunks back!
Pan went over to Shauna's room, pulled the covers off and said (or more yelled),
"CHOP, CHOP! GET UP GET UP!!! We have a party to go to! NOW! God damn it, you've been sleeping since what, 4:30 in the morning? Now it's 5:21 in the evening meaning you've slept for more then 12 hours! I think that is enough time to recover! GET YOUR LAZY UP!"
A small grumble came out of Shauna,
"Pan, SHUT UP."
"Okay fine, but you better be dressed by the time I'm finished calling Bra!"
A small reply came from under the sheets, but Pan was too excited to notice or really even care,
*RING**RING**RING*
"Hey Goten?! It's Panny! Can I speak with Bra?"
"Nope, I have something to tell you!!"
"Oh okay, shoot Uncle Goten…"
"Well Trunks is having a HUGE party and I think you should know what it is abou-"
"No! I already know! It's the yearly holiday party! BIG DEAL! Honestly, I'm ready Uncle Goten! Okay well since you're not saying anything, I'm gonna go. Yeah, ok, bye!"
"PAN?! WAIT PAN???" But it was too later to tell her it was for the engagement of Marron and Trunks, because she had already hung up.

At Capsule Corporation…
Trunks was stunned. What the hell was he doing? Marrying MARRON?! He should have never taken a dolts advice. Getting high didn't make you feel better, it got you into bad situations you can't get out of. But what a sec., some things she did say were true, was it really fair that after all those years Pan cheated on him? He was completely faithful. Trunks wanted to know why she did it. God, why did he have to be so stupid? His train of thoughts was interrupted by an obnoxiously sweet voice,
"Trunks! I'm going to get into my outfit now, I suggest you do the same, pumpkin." She left the room with a huge smile on her face. It was finally her turn to ground Pan into the dirt. Even if she wasn't going to be there (A/N: Marron doesn't know Pan is coming, neither does Trunks, lol).
"Right Marron," he said trying to sound as enthusiastic as he could, but it wasn't working. Finally his mother came up to him, after Marron left the room,
"Trunks, why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Why not?"
"TRUNKS! DO NOT GIVE ME THAT ATTITUDE! Besides, you don't seem happy with her. The look in your eyes isn't the same as when you were with Pan."
"NEWSFLASH MOM! She isn't coming back!"
"With that attitude she won't! DO YOU WANT TO FIND HER OR NOT!? Oh yeah, how did you get with Marron in the first place? Were you drunk, high, c'mon Trunks, you can tell your mom!"
"Okay mother, first of all, I AM going to marry her, and second I was NOT drunk or high! Get your mind out of the gutter!"
"Okay Trunks, but I had spent 6 hours in labor with you, I know you just as well as you know yourself! You don't love her."
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?! What do you not believe me or something?"
"Precisely. I don't, because I know you still love Pan."
"She's gone and she isn't coming back…" He looked down at his feet, for the first time in that week, he remembered how much she meant to him, what they had gone through. Why would he throw that all away?
"Trunks, listen to me, if you love her, don't let her go."
"Mom, I wish it were that easy, but I'm getting married to Marron." And he walked away from his partially stunned mother. He had never cared about her before, why now? Why was he planting a commitment this big on such an immature girl? She wasn't worth it to him, he was making a bad mistake. The funny thing was that Bulma was giving him advice on his love life, but hers wasn't going much better… life is full of surprises.

Car Ride to the Extravaganza…
Pan and Shauna were driving the VW Beetle while blasting I'm Gonna Getcha by Shania Twain
"Pan, will they just let you walk in?"
"The nice thing about the Briefs is that they let everyone come to their holiday celebration! It's huge and always so much fun! So yeah, they do."
"Oh, cool. Now how do you plan on getting Trunks back? Actually, don't have a plan! BE YOURSELF! Yay!"
"Shauna, you're so weird… but you have a point! I will be myself, and hopefully we could talk on a walk. Okay, Turn here!"
Shauna swerved the car left, the tires made that noise that criminals usually make with their tires when they are on a get away chase!
"Damn it Pan, you could have told me earlier-oh my goodness, this house, it's… HUGE!!"
"I know, now we can park the car here and give the keys to one of those gentlemen over there!"
"Okay Pan." Shauna got out of the car and slammed the door, "Excuse me sir, can you park the car for us?"
"Sure thing miss, why wait… you're friend looks exactly like MISS PAN?!"
"ROSS! HOW ARE YOU? I'm sorry I haven't been around lately, but…"
"I heard all about it Miss Pan. Don't worry, everything will be fine, but I must tell you-"
"Oh sorry Ross, can that thought wait? I have to go to the bathroom!"
"But Miss Pan! It's important!"
Shauna gave the man a confused look and rolled her eyes, she decided she was going to go inside and get some food.

The Bathroom…
Pan walked in and she found someone throwing up in a stall. Long blonde hair… IT WAS MARRON! As much as Pan hated her, she still tried to help her.
"Marron? Are you okay?" And then Pan got a disgusted look on her face. The smell of alcohol was everywhere, and she looked to Marron's side and saw bottles of Vodka Gin and Rum. Pan groaned to herself,
"Oh God."
A shaky voice called out from the bathroom stall,
"Who is it?"
"Uhh…" Pan had to think quickly, she couldn't tell her who she was or else she would totally freak, so Pan slipped down her shades and quickly replied, "Janice. Janice Reilley."
"I don't care who you are, help me…" Marron whined. After she finally stopped throwing up (which was about 10 minutes later). Pan propped her up on a chair, and finally started a conversation with the blonde,
"Why did you purposely get drunk?"
"Because I was scared." She sniffled as she was about to cry again,
"Scared of what?"
"That I'm going to be an awful wife."
"No, no, you'll be awesome! You're so gorgeous!"
"You don't mean that…"
"Yes, yes I do! Go out there and think `I will make a beautiful, fulfilling wife!' I promise, you will! Don't worry! Okay?"
"Okay! I can do this! Thanks… what was your name again?"
"Janice."
As Marron walked out of the bathroom, Pan finally went to the bathroom. After she had finished her business, Pan tried to open the door, but when she turned the knob, it fell off.
"Oh shit! AAHHH HELP ME!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the Ballroom…
Shauna was talking to that "hottie" she met at the Nordstrom's when she finally noticed the time. Pan hadn't come back from the bathroom. She went nearly an hour ago, something wasn't right. She slipped her number into his pocket and went straight away to that stupid bathroom. Shauna stared at Pan in shock. Pan was climbing out the bathroom window and fell ass first to the ground!
"Pan! It's about time! Get your ass up! We have to go find him!!"
"Well I'm sorry but the doorknob fell off and I was locked in the bathroom!
The girls ran into the main ballroom just as Trunks was announcing his engagement to Marron. Pan tripped over a plate and fork someone had left into the ground and fell face first in the fake tree in the back of the room. Pan was on the ground and everyone was staring at Shauna,
"Uhh…" Shauna was at a loss for words, she had no idea what to do. So she decided to put on her best Jewish accent and say, "We thought this was Johnny Gleckman's Bar Mitzvah. Well sorry about that!"
Pan was still on the ground thinking "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." And she finally sprang up and took her shades off, took Shauna by the arm and said "SHABBAT SHALOM!"
Trunks saw her, again. Why did she keep doing this to him? She always kept running to him, but came back in the worst situations. He finally said,
"Pan?" He looked to Marron and said, "I'm so sorry, but I can't marry you."
"Wait Trunks! Can we talk about this? PLEASE?!"
"No, I have to go."
