Chapter Three: Midnight Snack

Exhausted Bra and Pan were relaxing in Bra's room. They had been at the pond until just after dark. Now Bra was sprawled out on her bed, reading the latest fashion magazine. Pan sat on the bench at the end of the bed painting her toenails. Both girls were already dressed for bed, wearing what some people generously called pajamas. The sun had been intense today and Pan had gotten a slight sunburn so her pajamas were loose fitting so they didn't rub against her skin. Both girls were caught up in an article in Bra's magazine and didn't notice when Trunks walked in the room. "Hey Bra, do you know where my blue sweatpants are?" Trunks asked his sister. He was drying his hair with a towel since he had just got out of the shower so he didn't see that Pan was in the room as well. They had both looked toward the door at the sound of his voice and now Pan couldn't stop staring. He was standing in her doorway in nothing but his boxers, but these were considerably shorter than the ones he had been wearing at the lake. "Well, do you know…" the rest of his sentence faded away as he looked up. "Oh, hi Pan, I forgot you were here" a small blush swept over him and he quickly wrapped his towel around his waist. "Hi Trunks, nice boxers" Pan had to fight a giggle as she looked at him. Bra had already turned back to her magazine and answered, "nope, sorry, go ask Mom." She didn't notice that Trunks and Pan were still staring at each other. Trunks was trying to decide why he had felt a jolt like he had been punched in the stomach when he had first looked at Pan. "Ok, thanks. You're staying here all weekend right Pan?" he asked quietly. "Yeah, I just don't like to stay by myself" Pan answered. She closed the nail polish. The fumes from the polish must have been affecting her because watching Trunks was causing a strange reaction in her stomach. "Well, I'll let you girls get back to what you were doing. See you tomorrow." Trunks told them goodnight then walked out of the door. He leaned briefly against the wall outside of Bra's room. "What just happened?" he asked himself. He shook his head and walked towards his room.

In Bra's room Pan was just as confused. She never felt that way around Trunks, and he hardly ever got embarrassed around her and Bra, but both of those things had just happened. Tired of wondering what was happening Pan decided to go to bed. If she was asleep then she couldn't be confused.

Later that night Pan couldn't sleep so she decided to go down to the kitchen to find a snack and to find something to help her sunburn since it was starting to hurt. She usually didn't burn, but she had today and she was sure feeling it. Pan walked into the kitchen and headed toward the training room. She knew Vegeta was always training in there, and more often than not he was blowing stuff up, so Bulma kept all kinds of medical supplies ready in case he needed them. She jumped when she walked around the kitchen table, startled by Trunks who was standing at the counter.

"Oh, hi Trunks, you scared me." Pan said after a second. "Hi, what are you doing up this late?" Trunks asked turning to look at her. "I was looking for something to help my sunburn, and a midnight snack." Pan pushed her hair out of her eyes and sat down. "What about you?" she asked glancing up at him. He looked like he had been asleep. His hair was sticking up in every direction, kind of like it did when he went super saiyan, only not blond. His faded sweatpants were slightly wrinkled too; like they had been tossed in a corner and he had just pulled them on to come downstairs. "Something woke me up and I couldn't fall back asleep, so I came downstairs to raid the cupboards. Here." Trunks explained and slid a plate towards her.

"Oh, thank you." Pan looked down and realized he had made her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while they talked. "Do you want something to drink?" Trunks asked as he got two glasses out of the cupboard. "Sure, juice is fine." Pan answered and smiled at him. "Good, we have lots of juice." Trunks said as he handed her a glass of apple juice. He had felt it again, that same little jump in his stomach that he had felt earlier in Bra's room. "Whoa," Trunks thought to himself that is weird. He dismissed it as hunger and sat down across from Pan to eat his sandwich. After they were finished with their food Pan stood to clear away their dishes. "Thanks" Trunks handed her his glass and stood as well. He asked her to stay in the kitchen for a minute and then disappeared down the hallway. Pan rinsed the dishes and was putting them away when he came back. He held up a tube of something. "What's that?" Pan asked as he motioned her to sit. "This is burn cream, although I don't think it was made for sunburns I'm sure it will help some. Dende made it and it's the only think Dad will actually use when he blows up the gravity room." Trunks explained and held it out for her to see. "Hey thanks, Could you help me though? I can't reach my back" Pan asked.

She untied her robe and gently pushed it off her shoulders then she pulled her hair over he shoulder. Trunks replied, "Sure, no problem." And then he looked down and seen just how burnt she was. Earlier in the evening it hadn't been that intense yet. "Jeez Pan, that has got to be one of the worst sunburns I've seen in a long time. That must hurt like hell." Trunks exclaimed as he squeezed some of the lotion onto his palm. When he placed his hands on her shoulders he was amazed at the heat coming off of her skin.

When Trunks touched her Pan felt tingly where his hands rested on her shoulders. "That's strange, I've never felt tingly before around him. Oh, I bet it's the medicine." Pan thought as Trunks slowly and very gently rubbed the cooling lotion into her skin. "I can't believe this incredible heat coming off of her, but then she is burnt pretty bad. She would definitely feel this tomorrow. Such a shame to hurt such pretty skin." Trunks thought as he slowly rubbed more of the cream onto his hands and then onto her shoulders. "Lean forward against the table for a minute. Just to warn you I'm going to undo some of these ties so I can reach all of your back and not get this stuff on your pajamas ok?" Trunks asked her. "Okay, fine." Pan leaned forward and cushioned her head on her arms. Her pajama top was held on by a series of ties across her back.

She jumped slightly when the ties fell against her sides when he untied them, but she laid still once he had all but a couple of them untied. She was quickly lulled into a near sleep from the soothing feel of Trunks' strong hands gliding over her in what was almost a caress. She forgot to be still and shifted in her seat causing the tips of his fingers to brush against the side of her breast. For a second both of the them froze but then Trunks muttered, "Oh, sorry. That was an accident." and moved his hands to her shoulders. Pan was disappointed to feel his hands leave her back and settle on her shoulders. "Oh, don't worry, but if you're done can you tie me back?" Pan said casually glancing over her shoulder to peek at him. "Oh, sure." Trunks grabbed the loose ties and tied them; just enough for her top not to fall off, but not enough to make her sunburn hurt either. "Wow," Trunks thought, " I barely touched her, but I felt a jolt throughout my whole body. Could I be attracted to Pan? I'm not sure that would work, she's always been like a sister to me, she's my best friend's niece for Pete's sake! However I did like the feel of her soft skin under my hands just now. This is insane. Maybe I just need to go to sleep." Trunks thought, and then he heard himself say. "Since neither of us can sleep do you want to se if we can find a movie to watch on TV?" Pan looked up at him and answered, "Yeah, sure why not?" before she could convince herself it was a bad idea. They walked into the living room and Trunks sat down on one end of their huge couch and Pan sat on the other side. Then Trunks flipped on the TV to find a movie. By the time the movie was over Pan had stolen the remote and was stretched out on the part of the couch that wasn't occupied by Trunks, and both of them were fast asleep.
