Chapter 1: Party and Ice Cream



Pan sat in the tree looking in on the party going on inside the Capsule corps. The party was for him. Trunks. It was his engagement party, his and Marron's.

Pan's whole world had gone down that one morning last week when Trunks announced his and Marron's engagement. She could have sworn she could have died just there. Instead of flipping out in front of Trunks, she congratulated him and ran off home to cry to herself.

Even though Trunks was fourteen years older than she was, she had always loved Trunks since she was a little girl. Only problem was he had only seen her as a little girl, and most likely will always. Pan could never tell Trunks of her secret love for him.

Hot tears fell down Pan's cool cheeks as she watched Trunks hugging and kissing his fiancee. A hand fell upon Pan's shoulder and she turned around to see her favorite uncle. "Hey there Panny," he said giving her a soft warm smile.

Pan wiped her tears away, embarrassed of her emotions. "Hi Uncle Goten," Pan replied sadly. Goten was the only one who knew of Pan's secret crush on Trunks, who was of course, his best friend. Bra, who was Pan's best friend, didn't even know that Pan liked her own brother.

"What's going on? Why are you moping up here in the tree by yourself, huh?" Goten questioned her.

Pan looked down to the ground. "I just can't go in there. It hurts so much. I'm afraid I'll end up causing a scene or something like that, you know?"

"I can understand that, but everyone has been looking for you and stuff. So I think you should probably come down for the toasting." Goten tugged at Pan's arm.

"I really don't think I could though…"

"Come on Panny, I'll treat you to ice-cream after the party if you come down."

Pan sighed in surrender, she could never turn down the offer of ice-cream. "All right."

"Good, let's go!" Goten jumped down from the tree branch followed by Pan. They walked in the party together.

"Pan there you are!" Bra came running over to her best friend. "I've been looking all over for you! Isn't this great? My brother is going to finally get married!" Bra squealed in excitement.

"Yeah, amazing," Pan said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

"So what are you going to do after the party?"

"Well, Goten promised me ice-cream. So I guess going to an ice-cream parlor."

"Yeah I did, you want to go too Bra?" Goten asked cutting into the conversation.

"Oh, I'd love to!" Bra fluttered her long eyelashes at Goten. Pan had known that Bra had liked her uncle for quite some time now. But what Pan didn't know was that her uncle had liked her best friend as well.

Goten gasped as he was hit hard on his back. "You guys weren't planning on going to the ice-cream parlor without us now were you?" Trunks questioned as he placed his arm around Marron.

Marron stared lovingly at Trunks, not noticing the glare she was receiving from Pan. "I was just gonna ask you guys if you wanted to come," Goten said. Pan growled, she didn't really feel comfortable around Trunks now.

Trunks turned to look at Pan, but she turned her head so he wouldn't see her face. Trunks smiled and started messing up her hair with his hand. "Hey Pan-chan, what's up with you," Trunks said as he chuckled. Pan growled at Trunks at gave him a 'Hmph.' "Whoa, what's wrong Panny."

"Uh, she isn't feeling well today," Goten spoke suddenly.

"Oh well, nothing a little ice-cream can't cure, eh?"

When the party ended the 5 of them headed to the ice-cream parlor. Pan sat quietly at the table not touching her sundae, while the rest of them talked and ate their ice cream.

Marron started to talk about the wedding plans with Bra. Pan's ki started to rise as Marron continued to talk on about it. Trunks and Goten turned their heads up to Pan as they took notice to the change. Pan stood up suddenly and stomped off outside and took to the sky.

"Whoa dude, what's wrong with her!" Trunks exclaimed. "She's never acted like this before." Goten gave a worried look as he looked out the window to where Pan had took off. "I know she isn't seriously sick, I'm gonna go see what's up." Trunks ran off after Pan taking to the sky as well.

"No wait Trunks! Come back!" Goten yelled out trying to stop Trunks, but was too late. "Oh no…" Goten slumped back into his seat. He knew something bad was going to come of this.
