Disclaimer: Do not own the show; do not own TGI-Fridays or Coca-cola

Trunks and Pan took flight back to Japan, but not before Pan had told Trunks, she was hungry. "Trunks, I'm getting a bit famished, can we stop and eat somewhere."

Trunks stopped in mid-flight, he turned around and smiled. "I thought you'd never ask Pan, of course we can stop to eat." He laughed, as he increased his speed, Pan had done the same. "I know where there's a restaurant."

Pan followed close by, she noticed Trunks was descending down to where there was a TGI-Fridays. They entered the establishment and got a table. The host sat them in a booth, per Trunks request. "Can I start you two off with anything to drink?" She asked.

"Uhm, I don't think so right now." Trunks replied, he looked at Pan, who just quietly shook her head.

The host smiled. "Alright, your server should be over soon."

"Thank you." Trunks smiled, as he and Pan opened their menus. They looked through the menu, for a few minutes before finally deciding.

The server came over and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Claire; I'll be your server this evening." She turned to Trunks.

Trunks scanned the menu once more. "I'll have the all you can eat Steak and Shrimp special, with a baked potato, no sour cream, lots of butter however, and a Coke with a lemon (I always order Coke with a Lemon), what are your soups today?"

"Cream of Broccoli and French onion." She replied,

Trunks made a face, before deciding on a salad instead "Give me a Caesar Salad." Trunks told her, he handed her his menu as she finished jotting down his requests. She then turned to Pan.

"I'll have what he's having." She replied.

"Very well, it'll be out shortly." She smiled, as she went to turn in the orders.

Pan smiled, she had never been out to dinner with Trunks before. "Trunks, I'm so lucky to have you in my life." She smiled as a tear formed in her eye.

Trunks got up from his side, to go to her. "Pan what's wrong baby." He brought her into a loving embrace.

"I'm just so happy, right now every thing seems so perfect, I don't want to go home and face the music, I want to stay here forever…with you." Pan said chokingly in a whisper.

Trunks brushed some hair that had been lying in her face. He wanted nothing better then to live there with Pan, he however knew he couldn't, they couldn't run away from their problems. "Pan, we have to face them sooner or later, I'd rather do it sooner and get it over with." Trunks gave her one last hug before getting up to return to his seat.

"I know Trunks, it's just that I'm afraid of what will happen if we return, you know how daddy can get, and I know how your parents can react and blow things out of proportion." Pan explained.

Trunks laughed slightly. "Yeah, they can do that, but Pan Do you really think that staying away, or rather running away is going to help our case, and I don't, as much as I want to be with you, I don't want to lie about it."

Pan sighed. "I know, I don't either." Just then, their food had arrived. They had eaten their meal in peace. After the meal, Trunks paid for the food, and gave a generous tip to the server.

They walked out of the restaurant. Pan looked into Trunks eyes, she found what she was looking for, and she found someone who was willing to fight for her, fight to stay together with her.

"You ready?" Trunks asked as he extended a hand to Pan, Pan closed her eyes and smiled.

"Yeah, let's go home." Pan said as she and Trunks took off into the air, towards Japan.

About thirty minutes later, they had landed on the property of the Capsule Compound. Both looked at the mansion, they could feel the Ki's of their families and friends inside. Trunks took a hold of Pan's hand

Both took a deep breath. Trunks closed his eyes. "You ready Pan."

Pan nodded. She grabbed his hand and began walking towards the front door. "I'm as ready as I'm going to get."

They stopped at the door, Trunks reached for the doorknob, but before he could grab it the door swung open to reveal a very angry Bulma.

She stared at Trunks with pure anger, she then stepped to Pan. "You little bitch." She slapped Pan hard on the face. Startled from the slap, Pan stared at Bulma as she put her hand up to her face to caress the red mark that had been left buy Bulma's slap.

Trunks had seen the slap and was furious at his mother. "Mother, that was uncalled for, now we came home as responsible adults…" before Trunks could finish Gohan had interrupted him.

"Responsible Adults, if you two were acting responsible in the first place, then you wouldn't have run off like irresponsible children."

Trunks laughed. "There you go again, assuming the worst about us, look as I was saying, we came back to talk this out, grant it I wanted nothing better then to stay away, live with Pan, however she wanted to come home, she also told me she wanted to be with me, but she didn't want to sneak around and lie about it." Trunks exaggerated the truth a bit, telling Gohan it was Pan who wanted to come back home, and not him.

Gohan however did not answer him; Pan went up to her father and looked pleadingly in his eyes. "Daddy, please let me be with him, I love him, and I want to be with him."

Gohan however did not answer her; instead, he walked out the door dragging Pan behind him. "Daddy let go, I'm not leaving here until you agree to let me be with Trunks."

"Pan listens to your father." Videl said, she put a hand to her head and sighed, "Look you told us you wanted to be with Trunks, but listen here, I'm tired of it, I'm tire of the fighting. I have to side with your father on this one, he knows best." She picked up Ethan, as the four of them left the mansion.

Trunks tried to go after her; however, his father stopped him. "Let her go, its over."

Trunks looked at him, "What do you mean it's over."

"Gohan told us that he's moving his family away, he's cutting off all contact with us." Bulma answered him.

Trunks looked completely lost. "No, he can't do this to me, I can't live with out her in my life, I will be with Pan, whether you like it or not." With that, he walked out of the house.

Trunks flew to the Son house. He needed to convince Gohan to stay, so he and Pan could be together.

Authors Notes: Will Trunks convince Gohan to stay in Japan, or will he fail and lose her forever.
