It wasn't long until everyone was gathered in the CC dining room. Trunks and Pan were the last to arrive. Bulma passed by them and winked at the young couple. Both blushed furiously but pretended to hide their embarrassment. The dining room was set with tons of food. Particularly for a Sajin. Everyone was, as usual, having a good time. Especially Trunks, Goku, Goten, and Gohan who were devouring the entire table.
Pan and Trunks laughed and decided to eat as well. The two sat beside one another and glanced at each other.
"Trunks?" Pan said.
Trunks nodded.
"GO!" Pan squealed.
Soon the two Sajins began to eat everything in front of them, as more like a contest. Trunks was laughing inside at Pan and Pan couldn't help but giggle at the way Trunks looked.
Everyone was talking and most people face vaulted at the Sajin's. Bulma, Chi-Chi and Videl, laughed at their husbands while Bra gagged in disgust.
"Is there any more food left for one more Sajin? " A voice from the dining hall entrance asked.
Everyone turned to see Gokachi grinning like an idiot. (Who does that remind you of?)
Everyone laughed except for the hungry Sajins who were busy eating the entire dining table.
Bulma motioned Goka to sit besides Trunks and Pan. Goka nodded and stared at the dining table. There was no more food!
Tears welled up in her eyes and she began to whine! Her squeals were worst than Bra's! (How can that be possible?!)
Everyone stopped anything they were doing and were staring at the Sajin. Bulma managed to get all the robots to clean up and place a new batch of food on the table.
As soon as Goka realized the new food before her she stopped crying and began to devour the food. A sweat drop rolled on everyone's head.
Soon later the rest of the Sajins followed what she was doing and ate.

Bulma noticed Trunks and Pan occasionally glancing at each other so she decided to play 'Evil mom'.
"So.. Goka?" Bulma asked mischievously.
"Ya?" Goka answered with a full mouth. She muffled most of her words.
"Who does Pan end up marrying?" She asked evilly.
"Bulma!" Pan yelled.
Bulma smirked and waited for Goka's reply. Goka had stopped eating and was looking at Bulma.
"I can't tell you who Grandmother married.. But I can tell you that Grandmother died the same night Grandfather died. They were madly in love. I remember Grandmother telling me stories about them together. It was always so interesting. My Grandmother would never talk about him without twinkles in her eyes while doing so... That's all I can really tell you." Goka said. She had a sad look on her face.
"She died on my 12 Birthday.." She said slowly.
Everyone heard everything and they, once again, had all eyes on Bulma, whom was laughing nervously.
Trunks put his arm on her back and smiled at her. "It's okay, she'll always be by your side." He looked at Pan and telepathically told her to pity Goka. Pan nodded.
"Ya, she'll always be near you no matter what." Pan said.
Goka looked toward Pan and her eyes began to get glossy. She grabbed Pan in a tight embrace. "Thank you Grandmother."
Pan hugged her back, but then got a queasy feeling.. 'Grandmother?'
Trunks saw that in Pan's face and snickered.

Then what Goka said registered in his head
My Grandmother would never talk about him without twinkles in her eyes while doing so...
He bowed his head down, he tried so hard to hold back his tears.
"Excuse me..." trunks aid softly and got out of his chair, walking to his room.
Pan stared after her lavender haired friend. 'Trunks? what's wrong?' she thought.

"So tell us more about your sister and cousin." Krillen asked.
Goka thought for a moment about what she 'could' say and 'couldn't' say.
"Well, Vegga is the most stubborn among all of us. She gets that from her mother's side of the family. But sometimes she can show some goofiness, which is mostly from the Son heritage. She watches over all of us and has the tendency to act like our 'fearless leader'. It annoys me and Ubea sometimes but we don't say much. Ubea doesn't have that much of Sajin heritage since her side of the blood line stopped awhile back. But she does have some of Bulma in her, that's why her hair is so beautiful. She obviously, gets most of her looks from #18.." Goka explained.
Everyone nodded and registered everything she had said.
Soon later Vegga and Bea walked in the dining room.
"Oh! I'm glad you could join us! There is plenty of food and Goka was just telling us about you!" Bulma squealed.
Vegga and Ubea smiled.
"Well, I'm glad we came early or Goka might have said a little too much. She just can't stop talking." Vegga said. 'You bitch! You better not have said anything!' Vegga said telepathically.
Goka gulped, 'I didn't! I swear! I thought of what I said before I said it!' Goka said back defensively.
'Good.' Vegga telepathically replied.
Vegga and Ubea sat down with the others and Vegga began to eat the remaining food. Ubea only had 2 helpings.
Everyone noticed this.
"You're not a big eater are you?" Bra asked Ubea.
Ubea blushed with embarrassment, "Well, I don't have much of a Sajin appetite."
"It's OK, me neither." Bra said, having finished her 7th serving.

After they finished eating, Vejita stood up and coughed loudly to get attention. everyone faced the arrogant prince, waiting for him to speak.
"If you don't mind. I would like to begin training." Vejita stated.
The three woman all looked at one another and smirked. Vegga stepped forward.
"I'll be the one to train you Vejita." Vegga announced proudly.
"Good, let's get going." He said, motioning her to follow him to his gravity chamber.
Vegga nodded her head and followed the prince. They trained for the rest of the day. (This is a romance fic! not an action fic! I don't want to go to detail about training!)


That night, the Son's decided to sleep at CC for the night. The chestnut's had left home already.
Thy all gathered at the living room and began to talk to one another. The teens would be talking to the teens, while the mothers to the mothers. Goku was just listening with a 'goofy' grin.
Soon later, the back door opened and Vegga stepped into the living room, sitting beside her sister. Vejita followed.
Everyone gasped except for the new guests.
Vejita had walked in with bruises EVERYWHERE (literally) His eye was swelling enormously and it looked like his arm was broken since it fell limp to his side. He was heavily panting and soon he collapsed on the floor.
Everyone looked at Vegga who didn't even have a scratch.
Bulma ran to her husband and commanded Goku to bring him to the regenerator. Goku obeyed and picked Vejita up, he glanced quickly to Vegga who didn't think nothing of it. She was busy discussing some 'in' topic with Bra and Pan.
Everyone just Face vaulted.

"Hey guys, lets go upstairs to Trunks room! We could chat there." The teens nodded and all followed Bra to Trunks' room.
The remaining mothers followed also after Bra invited them as well. When they arrived they began to sprawl around the floor and talk.
Trunks could barely think. He wasn't feeling well for some reason. "hey guys I'm gonna lay down Okay?"
"Sure.." Pan said worriedly. She watched him fall asleep on his bed.

Everyone continued chatting and talking about past and present events. In the teens cases they were talking about past, present, and future events.
Suddenly there a was a loud grunt on the bed. It was Trunks. He began to toss and turn viciously and moaning in agony.
Everyone stopped and stared at the purple haired boy. Bulma immediately got up and began to soothe her son.
"He's sweating." She said.
They all gathered around him.
" I think he's having a nightmare." Bulma said.
"No......No!!.." he mumbled loudly in his sleep.

*~~^*~~^ Dream *~~^^*~~

Trunks was running through and endless corridor. He was running hand in hand with Pan behind him. They were panting loudly and running from some unknown force.
"Pan come on!" Trunks screamed. He wouldn't let her go. Not this time. Not ever.
"Trunks... I.. Can't.." She panted.
"Yes you can!" Trunks screamed back. Her eyes were full of tears and her hair was waving all over her face. she began crying again.
Seeing Pan like this made his heart shatter. he never wanted it to end up this way. He felt her grip loosen and she let go.
"PAN!!" trunks' screamed. He ran back for her and picked her up. he ran again with her in his arms.
Pan looked up at him, "Trunks, put me down. Get out of here yourself. I'm helpless right now."
Trunks began to cry. He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't take her saying those words. " Don't say that Pan! I'll never let you go!"
Pan looked at him and he held her hand tightly. "I love you trunks.. I don't regret what we had." He looked down on her and all his tears fell on her face.
"Tell her I love her..." She whispered. "Goodbye my love.."

Her grip loosened. Her body went limp. Trunks' world went dark. He had caused her pain and in return his heard had died. He stopped. there was no point in running anymore. He held her tight and closed her eyes.
"I wont live without you." Trunks whispered in her lifeless ear. He turned around and let the unknown force devour them whole.

~~*~~* End of Dream ~~**~~~

'NOOO!!!!!!!" Trunks bolted from his bed. Sweat was pouring down his face. Tears were streaming down his cheeks. He stared at the familiar faces around him and he couldn't hold back. He brought his knees to his face and began to sob. Everyone just stared.
Bulma eyed them to leave and they all nodded. In silence everyone began to exit the room. Pan's eyes began to get glossy 'I don't want to leave him..'
"Shh.. it's okay.." Bulma said while cradling her son.
"Pa.. Pan.." Trunks sobbed.
"What honey?" Bulma asked.
"Pan! Where's Pan! Where's Pan!" he sobbed loudly, he was scanning the room frantically, looking for her.
Pan had stood there in disbelief as trunks was crying out her name. Everyone could hear him. They all looked at Pan bewildered.
Pan walked up to him and the minute trunks lay eyes on her and she was in reach, he grabbed her and held her in a tight embrace. he began to sob in her chest.
Bulma stared wide eyed as she watched what was going on. trunks had woken up from a terrible dream and the first thing he looked frantically for was Pan! When he found her, he buried his face in her stomach and she began to soothe his hair, whispering soothing words. Bulma and the others watched in 'awe' at the couple.
Soon Bulma left the room and made everyone follow her as well.

"Trunks.. It's okay..." Pan said.
"N..No! You.. You don. don't under... stand!" Trunks sobbed.
she lifted his face away from her stomach and lifted his face to meet hers. He was sniffing and she couldn't help but have a sting in her heart. She lay down beside him and cradled him in her arms. She began to sing to him..



Come, stop your crying
It will be all right

Pan began to wipe the tears falling from trunks' face.

Just take my hand hold it tight


She reached for his hand and held it tightly. trunks just stared into her eyes. He couldn't believe this feeling he was experiencing while she sang in his ears.


I will protect from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so frail, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
The bond between us can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry



Pan's eyes began to get glossy and she tried her best to not show weakness when he need her to be strong.



'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on now and forever more
You will be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in here in my heart always



Trunks watched a single tear fall from her cheek. he reached up to her and wiped it away, feeling lost in
her voice and eyes. Pan held the hand that was on her cheek and continued to sing.

Why can't they understand the way we feel
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but, deep inside us
We're not that different at all

'Kami she is beautiful..' Trunks thought to himself as he watched the love of his life sing to him while he was a just pathetic. but he didn't care if he looked like a moron, he loved her and there was nothing else he seemed to care about..


'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on now and forever more
Don't listen to them
Because what do they know
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on now and forever more
You will be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in here in my heart always

Pan leaned forward and planted a kiss on his forehead. She moved a strand of purple hair away from his face and began to caress his face smoothly. What was this feeling she couldn't describe?
Trunks' eyes began to grow heavier with every word that escaped her lips. He didn't let himself stop looking at her beautiful face. he couldn't anyway. His eyes were glued with some force of temptation..

Always I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
'Cause I'll be there always

Trunks' began to drift off to sleep. He held Pan tighter before closing his eyes..
"I love you Pan..." he said before he fell asleep.
Pan's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the half Sajin in her arms.
'What did he say?!'



Authors note: in the song by Phil Collins I changed it a bit. Instead I put frail instead of small. Because well.. he's not small!
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so frail, you seem so strong

Also, I would just like to warn you, that if you did not read the lyrics to the song while reading what happened then.. that sux! I have read it both ways and let me tell you.. read the lyrics! it says a lot.
