It was dark, and rainy. A young girl, now at the age of twenty, stood
alone
in the rain. As the rain poured down on her, she felt nothing. No
coldness,
no warmth, only numbness ran through her delicate body. Everybody had
someone to love, Pan despised love now. There was simply no reason to
go
through all the emotions, only to become a nervous wreck in the end.
What was the point? She asked herself, she fell in love only to be
hurt in
the end, Cinderella must really be a true fairy tail. Pan felt the bile
rise
in her mouth, just thinking about love and what it did to her, was
making
her sick. She continued to walk in the rain, not caring if a car ran
off the
road and hit her. But what was this hurt? Pan had never experienced
this
kind of heartache before, and why did it ache so bad?
She wanted to get out of town, she wanted to leave and never come
back. She
decided to do just that. Hawaii sounded good, or for a nice cruise. Nah
the
beach sounded more like a home to her. Pan flew for hours to find the
beach
deserted, the rain didn't let up over there either. She stood there on
the
beach and watched the waves wash up onto her feet, just hearing the
rain
beat on the ocean made her calm. The seawater smell intoxicated her
nostrils, as she sat in the sand she closed her eyes.
The water was warm, a swim sounded good. Pan dove out into the sea,
and
swam out a few miles and floated on her back. The sky was still dark
and it
still rained, but Pan remained calm, a song played in her mind
What am I supposed to do
With all these blues
Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over?
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by
Phantom ships, lost at sea
And one of them is mine
Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why
The stars don't seem to guide me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices call
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
She was closer to shore now, and the water was becoming shallower. Pan
didn't know it at the time, but the sun had come out and people were
coming
to enjoy the beach. She smiled as she felt the sun warm her face and
body,
she was going to stay here now. But she had to go get her things,
before it
was official.
Boxes were stacked in her room, her money was put in her purse,
everything
was set now all she had to do is tell Bra. So Pan picked up the phone
in the
kitchen and dialed her number "Capsule Corp, this is Bra." She
answered. Pan
snickered "You might as well answer as grand central station." Pan
commented, "Oh hey Pan sup?" "Oh I just called to tell you goodbye, I'm
moving away." Bra nearly dropped the phone, "Hello? Bra are you OK?"
"Of coarse I'm not OK! How can I be OK?!" she yelled, Pan put the
phone
away from her ear, "Damn girl just chill out, I will come back to see
you.
As a matter of fact, I was wondering if you might wanna help me get all
my
shit outta here?" Bra thought for a minute, "Where are you staying?"
she
asked wondering. Pan shifted ears and continued packing, "You know that
beach we went to for summer vacation? I'm staying in a house, and it's
right
on the beach!!"
Bra sighed in envy, "You're lucky, yeah I'll help you move." She
answered
picking at her nails, Pan thanked her and hung up. Bra was about to go
out
of the door when Trunks and Goten were coming up the walkway. Bra made
a
nasty face at Trunks who failed to notice, and she ran out as soon as
they
got out of her way. Goten noticed her, and yelled out the door "Hey
what's
the hurry?" she turned and answered "I'm helping Pan move." Goten was
confuse. Since when did Pan make plans to leave? He approached Bra
"Move
where?" "To the beach." She said hastily.
"Well gotta get goin'." She said getting ready to take off, Goten
grabbed
her hand "Whoa whoa whoa, hold it. Let me get this strait, Pan is
moving
away, and your helping her?" he questioned Bra pushed him away "Yeah,
can I
go now? She wants me there, like right now!" she said turning away.
Goten
grabbed her arm again "I'm going with you." Bra gave him a look that
said
'let-me-go-if-you-wanna-see-tomorrow' he instantly let her go. "She may
not
want to see you, or hear what you have to say." Bra said.
Pan heard a knock at the door, "Must be Bra." She said smiling to
herself.
Pan opened the door, and next to Bra was Goten! She rolled her eyes
"Come
in." Bra walked up to Pan and whispered "He insisted that he come
along."
"Oh really?" Pan asked wickedly. Pan grabbed some huge boxes and
stacked
them in Pan's car, Goten was trying to find the right moment, to tell
his
niece what he had to say. Finally the right moment came when Bra went
out
for a snack, they sat in Pan's room packing the last of her things.
"Well uncle, fancy seeing you here, so lets hear the lecture." Pan
said
lamely, "I just want to know why you are doing this. And what in the
hell
gave you the motive to move so far away?" he said facing her. Pan
laughed
"Trunks didn't tell you? Oh my mistake why would he tell you anything?"
she
said sarcastically. Goten gave her an icy glare "He broke up with me
for
Marron, obviously I don't give him what he wants."
Goten nodded for her to continue, "I went to the beach a few nights
ago, I
had to get out of this place, I decided to make it permanent. And
nothing
you can say or do change my mind. I don't believe that I should have to
suffer. Oh sure love can be great at times, but in the end you end up
getting hurt, I don't want to do that for the rest of my life." She
explained. "Pan I'm sorry about you and Trunks." Goten said
sympathetically,
Pan snorted "I don't need your pity, I don't want it either." She
growled
back at him. Goten continued packing for her, "You don't always end up
getting hurt the end Pan." He said, she chucked a knife at him and
watched
him catch it with ease. Pan was not impressed "Some people don't get
hurt
like me, you have that right, but I did. To that lavender hared bastard
you
call your friend, I was and am nothing but a toy. I was his little
plaything, and he found something else for pleasure." Pan sneered.
Goten chucked the knife back at her, the point was at her chest, but
it
stopped in midair, Pan snickered "I love playing these little games of
ours,
and I'd love to stay and chat. But as you know I have some moving to
do.
Excuse me please, I don't mean to be rude, but you can deliver a
message
from to Trunks. Tell him that I will come back, I will make him hurt,
and
suffer as I have." She grinned evilly Goten stood stiff and silently
like he
was scared.
Pan shook him gently "Uncle I was only kidding! Jeez mellow out a
little
will ya?" she said giggling. Goten shook off her earlier comment, "You
really had me for a minute." He said breathing a sigh of relief. They
were
still packing when Bra came back, "Well this is the last of it,
everything
else is stacked in our cars." Bra said entering. Pan smiled "Great" she
said. Pan stood up and straightened her jeans "Thanks you guys." She
said
smiling.
They loaded Pan's things into Bra's car, and drove to the beach. When
they
arrived at her new home they both gawked at the house. It looked cozy;
inside the rooms were painted a light blue, except for the master
bedroom. A
short knock filled the empty room, "Oh hey Jason, come on in, you can
help
us unpack my stuff." Goten looked at the boy in confusion.
Jason smiled, he was tall, but muscular, a firm face, and short blonde
hair
along with icy blue eyes. Pan saw her uncle and elbowed him in the side
"Jason this is my Uncle Goten, and this is my friend Bra." Pan glanced
at
Bra who was drooling over this hottie. "Nice to meet you Jason." Bra
said
holding out her hand and blushing. Jason shook it gently, he was a
gentlemen, he believed that girls should be treated with respect. (We
all
want that in a guy!) "The pleasure is all mine Bra." Goten rolled his
eyes,
honestly this girl needs to stop gawking, she has a man, it was him.
"Hey
Pan, where can we find a spot to eat me and Bra are starved!" he
interrupted.
Pan pointed at the food stand a few blocks away; it was still within
visual
view. Bra and Goten took off leaving Jason and Pan alone. Pan was
unloading
the car and Jason was helping, when they got back inside Bra and Goten
came
back "Hey Pan we gotta split, can you two unpack by yourselves OK?" Bra
asked Pan nodded, and Bra and Goten left. "Hey where do you want me to
put
this?" Jason asked holding up a painting, "Over on the wall next to the
couch would be fine, I'll hang the rest of 'em up later." Pan plopped
herself down on the floor.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead gently; Jason tossed her some
bottled
water. She caught it with ease, "Thanks." She said smiling; it felt
good to
smile out of happiness. "Hey are you hungry?" Pan asked tossing him his
water back Jason shrugged, "A little. There are some great food stands
at
the fairgrounds. Lets go out for a bit, and have some fun, my treat."
I'll
pay for the food, since you helped me move my stuff. I owe ya one." She
said
standing up. She felt disgusting, she was all sweaty from moving all
day.
"My water isn't hooked up yet, you know a place where I can take a
shower?"
she begged.
Jason nodded, as he helped her up he looked gently into her eyes. Pan
blushed; they took off to the fairgrounds. They had a great time, they
ate
and road the roller coaster three times in a row, and when all the fun
had
ended, they took a nice walk along the beach. Pan walked with her hands
at
her side, breathing in the sweet air of the ocean. "Did ya have fun?"
Jason
asked casually "Tons, but I think I had a little too much to eat." She
groaned. He smiled and looked out towards the horizon, "I always loved
taking walks on this beach, it just calms me down." He said.
Pan nodded "Yeah I came here last summer, I loved it so much. And then
when
I almost had a nervous break down, I came here again." She answered.
He picked up a rock and skipped it across the calm seawater; Pan got a
fun
idea. She kicked of her shoes and walked around in the wet sand. Jason
did
the same, soon it began to get dark and it was time for Pan to head
back to
her new place. Pan smiled as she turned to her friend; "Hey thanks for
showing me around here a bit." Jason shrugged "Anytime. Some of my
friends
and I are coming to hang out here tomorrow, wanna come?" he invited,
Pan
thought for a minute, and figured that her moving could be put off, she
wanted to have some fun. "I'd love to join you. You guys can crash at
my
place, and we can have a bonfire outside on my beach." She commented,
with
that they parted. When Pan got back home she continued her moving, she
turned the radio on and "SouthSide" was on
See myself in the pouring home
See the light come over now
See myself in the pouring rain
I watch hope come over me
Here we are now, going to the East Side
I pick up my friends and we start to ride
Ride all night, we ride all day
Some may come and some may stay
Here we are in the pouring home
I watch the light man fall the comb
I watch a light move across the screen
I watch the light come over me
Here we are now going to the West Side
Weapons in hand as we go for a ride
Some may come and some may stay
Watching out for a sunny day where there's
Love and darkness and my sidearm
Hey, elan
Here we are now going to the north side
I look at my friends as they start to ride
Ride at night we ride all day
Looking out for a sunny day
Here we are now going to the south side
I pick up my friends and we hope we won't die
Ride at night; ride through heaven and hell
Come back and feel so well.
She sang along the whole time, maybe she would go get the CD sometime.
Was
she actually go through with this? She had to, if she stayed in town
she
would feel like she was suffocating. And that was no way to live, not
by her
standards. Who knows she may find someone else, she was over Trunks
now, and
she was positive that she was not in denial.
PART 2: SUMMER NIGHTMARE
"Come on mom, hurry up!" Trunks yelled at Bulma. She was trying to
bring
some groceries into the beach house they rented for the summer. Bulma
stumbled, "Well then come here and help me!" she yelled back, Trunks
rolled
his eyes and grabbed the bags from his mother. "Honestly I don't know
how
you can control dad, but you can't even handle groceries by yourself!"
he
exclaimed.
Bulma frowned, where is Vegeta anyway? He was probably training, or
eating
his favorite thing to do, aside from training that is. Maybe they could
take
a walk on the beach later that would be so romantic! They walked into
the
beach house and found Vegeta and Bra watching TV, "Dad gimme that
remote,
90210 is on!" Bra cried reaching for the remote. Same old Bra still
watching
drama stuff. Vegeta hung the remote over his head, "It's my turn to
watch
something brat." Vegeta said.
Bulma rolled her eyes and had Trunks follow her into the kitchen; he
set
the groceries down on the counter. Then he picked up the phone, "Who
are you
calling?" Bulma asked, "Just Marron. There's a volleyball match going
on and
I want her to come, and watch it with me." He said not looking up from
his
phone. Bulma tried to hide her disappointment, whatever happened to the
sensitive Trunks? Now he was always out with, Krillin's kid, doing god
knows
what! Marron just made Bulma sick sometimes.
Hmm I wonder how Pan is doing? Bulma thought, she heard from her
parents
that she moved to this same beach. Then there was a knock at the door,
Vegeta opened it, and there stood a now twenty-one year old Pan. She
hugged
Vegeta gently; by this time he was used to it.
Bra came over and gave Pan a big hug, "How have ya been down here?" she
asked "Well I got a good tan, and found some cool friends." Bra gave a
sad
look. "But you still rank in first place, for my best friend." Pan
said.
"Anyway I came to see if you wanted to help me and my pals win the
volleyball match?" Pan asked, "Yeah!" Bra said jumping up and down. She
ran
upstairs to change, Pan sat down on the couch and smiled, life was
treating
her good; she had a job, a new boyfriend (it's Jason) and a nice house
with
cool friends to hang out with. Bra came downstairs in a bikini top, and
Jean
shorts, "Am I going to need sunscreen?" she asked opening a bottle.
Pan nodded and walked out the door; Bra followed carrying her beach
bag.
Pan looked at her funny "What do you need that for?" she asked. Bra
shrugged
"I plan to lay out and get a good tan afterwards." She said simply "Ah"
Pan
replied. When they got to the volleyball part of the beach, they looked
around for Pan's friends. They were practicing at court B, when the
girls
found them, everybody she knew was there; Jason, Matt, Amy, Stacy,
Jared,
and Ashley. "Yo everybody, I'm here!" she said waving to her friends,
everybody stopped and waved back, "Hey we were wondering when you'd get
here."
Matt said politely, "So sorry." She said. Bra looked around, then she
spotted Jared, and he was hot! His short blonde hair was cut at one
length,
his blue eyes sparkled with energy, and his bod what a six pack! Bra
tried
not to drool too much, "Bra this is Matt." Hey." Matt said, "This is
Amy
Stacy, and Ashley." "Hi there." They replied, and this is Jared."
"How's it
going?" he asked.
Stacy punched his arm "Ow, hey!" he complained, he grabbed his
girlfriend
and threw her over his shoulder, "Excuse us for one moment please." He
said.
Jared ran with Stacy over to the water and threw her into the water.
Stacy got back up and walked past him "Your such a dick!" she screamed
over
her shoulder, "Don't worry," Pan whispered to Bra "she's not always
like
this." Bra nodded and set her bag down. Matt was tossing the ball up
and
down, "Are we gonna practice or not?" he asked. Everybody, then got
into
their positions on the opposite sides of the net. The game would start
in
and hour.
Back at the Briefs beach house…
Marron continued up the walkway, and knocked on the door. Trunks
opened the
door and smiled "Hey ready?" he asked, Marron nodded. They drove to the
volleyball tournaments, "So what's been going on since you got here."
Trunks
asked getting comfortable in the passenger's seat. Marron shrugged "Not
much, I'm just glad to get out of that tiny house." She answered.
Trunks
laid his head back, "This is nice though." He said shortly.
When they got to the tournament the players of each team were serving
the
balls to each other for a quick warm-up. Trunks noticed a girl with
black
hair, she looked so familiar. Uh oh, it's Pan he though nervously.
He cringed, remembering how close he was to a near-death-experience.
When he
dumped her she hit him with hundreds of ki blasts, then she took off.
Trunks
clapped nervously, "What's the matter with you?" she asked looking at
him
weird. Trunks gave a smooth look "N-nothing." He stuttered. The first
team
was up, and they challenged, Pan's team. Her team won. They won all the
way
up to the championship round.
Pan's mouth was dry, she needed water. Her whole body was sweaty, and
she
was gasping for air.
"Pan you OK?" Matt asked, she was their key player, and they would lose
the
game if she quit now! She stared ahead at the challengers "Anybody have
some
water?" she asked hoarsely, Jared tossed her some water, she guzzled it
down
and drenched her head. Her shorts and bikini top were soaked, but it
would
keep her cool.
She looked at Jason dizzily, he approached her "Are you OK?" he asked
gently. She nodded "I'm fine, just a little dizzy." She said. "Let's do
this!" Pan yelled. The game started; round after round they gained more
and
so did the opposing team. Now came the final round, they needed one
more
point to beat them, the team served the ball high up, Pan jumped
against the
net and slammed the ball to the ground on the opposite side. They won
the
game!
Pan fell on her butt, and didn't get up. Jason came and picked her up
gently, and set her on her feet, "Did we win?" she slurred. Jason
laughed
"Yeah we did, come on, let's go celebrate." He said kissing her on the
cheek. She smiled and went to her teammates, she noticed Trunks was in
the
stands, and smirked evilly. Well well well pretty boy showed up after
all.
She thought.
That night there was a huge party, at Pan's house. Marron had to
literally
drag Trunks to the party. Now that Pan was alone she always found ways
to
have fun, a lot of it. Music was booming for miles, people were walking
along the beach, sitting by fires cuddling or drinking beer. Pan was in
the
kitchen necking with Jason.
Marron and Trunks entered, to find hundreds of people making out,
dancing
to music, drinking and doing god knows what in the bedrooms. They both
got
drinks and found Pan and Jason in the middle of the kitchen. "Ladies
and
gentlemen!" Pan shouted killing the music, "It's time for the
traditional
strip poker!" she said. Everyone cheered, Pan silenced them, and "Now
for
the nominated opponents, Arron James, Michele Dillen, and Trunks
Briefs" she
said without looking, the opponents stepped forward.
As the host of the party, she was already entered to play the game.
They
were all going down (she gets to see him strip, lucky her!!) If someone
lost
the game they would have to strip naked and swim in the ocean. One by
one
they dropped like flies, and went for a warm swim in the ocean. Now
Trunks
and her were the only two left, (what a coincidence!) "Now we'll all
get to
see what your really made of, pretty boy." She said slyly. Trunks
ignored
her rude comment and watched his cards. (Ok I don't know how to play
poker
in the first place, so just bear with me here.) He laid down four kings
"Now
lets see what you got." He said smoothly. She only smirked and said,
"I've
always wanted to see your manhood and how small it is." She said
Before Trunks could even get a word out of his mouth, she laid down
four
aces. Pan leaned against the table, "I won." She said stretching.
Trunks
turned red (and boy do I mean red!!) Pan walked over to him and spoke
as
loud as she could "Now as you know, you have to strip off every piece
of
clothing off your scum body, and go take a swim in the beautiful ocean.
May we have some music please?" she said pointing to a guy.
He cranked the music up and Trunks began to take off his clothes,
until he
got to his pants. Pan stood on the table, "What's the matter? Too shy?"
she
mocked. Trunks gulped, "Now Jason I have to do this please don't be
offended." She said. The music was cranked way up, she began to do a
strip
dance, but she didn't strip, she helped Trunks. Pan went behind Trunks
and
moved her hands down his broad chest, she went down further until she
reached his zipper. Without hesitation she unzipped his pants and
pulled
them down slowly.
People were hooting at them both, she then smirked and moved to the
rim of
his boxers.
She went between his legs and pulled down his only underwear, and stood
up
in front him "Now time for your swim." She laughed. Trunks looked at
her
with wide eyes, he wanted to wipe that
Smile right off her silly face. At least Marron wasn't seeing this, she
would freak! All of the girls whistled, "Yeah baby!" one said, "I'll
skinny
dipping with you any day!" another shouted, Trunks ran out to the
ocean, a
whole bunch of girls followed him out there too. Pan was in front of
them
all. She had told her friends about him; now she had something really
sneaky
up her sleeve.
"Hey trunks!" Pan yelled, the girls behind her stopped their hoots and
whistles to hear what she had to say, he looked right at her. He could
tell
that her eyes were dark and cold,
Pan waved his clothes in the air, was she gonna…no way!! Pan threw
Trunks'
clothes right into the water with him, "You are not allowed in, so as a
goodbye present I decided to let you jet dry!" she yelled.
All the girls behind her left, and followed her back into the house
and
Trunks was left bobbing in the waves. Unfortunately he couldn't just
walk up
to his car because it was parked near the house, and some people were
standing by a bonfire having the time of their lives. Instead he swam
over
to the side, wait a second he could just fly over and land in his car.
He
found his clothes and wrung them out, "Stupid bitch." He mumbled.
Trunks landed in the seat of his car, "Great now I have to drive home
naked." He put the top up to his convertible, and drove back to the
beach
house. He met some girls on the road, but he didn't wave or smile at
them.
He just kept his eyes on the road, trying his best not to break
something
"Why the hell would she do something like that?" he asked himself.
