Love for an Angel
By: LilSweetCeres
*~~*The next day*~~*
Pan woke up slowly. She had just gotten the best sleep in her entire life. Right now, she just didn’t want to get out of bed. She just wanted to keep on sleeping. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Shit… Who could it be in this time of day…?” Pan mumbled. She was not one bit happy. Another knock could be heard. “I’m coming all ready. Hold up.”
Quickly, Pan slipped out of bed to walked over to her door. When she opened it, she found Trunks standing there wearing his royal outfit. “Hello, m’ lady. Have a nice rest?”
Pan frowned. “I was… until you knocked on the door. I’m still sleepy. Can I go back to bed?”
Trunks’ eyes widened. “Oh. I’m sorry to disturb you. But… it’s noon…”
All of a sudden, Pan was wide-awake. “It’s noon? Oh my gosh. I better go change. Umm… Can you wait for a second? It’s won’t take long.”
Gently, Pan closed the door and rushed to her closet. Picking out a red dress and matching shoes, she got dress quickly. In a record time, she separated her hair in the middle and braided them. It came out nicely, despite her rush.
“I’m ready! You can come in!” Pan cried.
Slowly Trunks entered the room. “Are you comfortable here?”
Pan nod, smiling. “Yes. Where shall we go?”
*~~*A year later*~~*
It has been a year already and Pan had learned who everyone is. She had become close friends with Trunks and best friends with Bra while Goten became Trunks’ best friend and had started to become friends with Bra. The King and Queen didn’t mind them staying at the palace and had eventually learned to trust them.
Her parents had visited every now and then. They were glad that Pan was happy and that no one had hurt her. But now, they visit less often as usual, since Pan’s grandfather, Goku died.
It was December 24th and everyone was getting ready for the Christmas Ball that Queen Bulma is holding that night.
*~~*In Bra’s room*~~*
“This will look absolutely great on you!” Bra squealed. In her hands, she held a pure white dress with a cropped top along with matching heels. “Put it on. The ball will be starting in two hours and we need to get ready. Now where is that red dress…?”
As Bra searched her wardrobe, Pan quickly dressed into the dress and the heels. The dress fell down to her ankles and the heels made her feel a bit taller.
“Finally!” Bra cried as she pulled out a long red dress.
“I’m going to head to my room.” Pan said. Bra just nod as she dove into her wardrobe for matching heels.
Picking up her clothing from Bra’s bed, Pan left the room and headed toward her room, which was down the hall from Bra’s.
“Hello, m’ lady. Where is a pretty girl like you, going?”
Pan turned around startled. “Darius! Oh my god… You… You scared me.”
The knight just grinned. “I’ll see you around, m’ lady.”
Pan nod in reply. Quickly, without hesitation, she went to her room.
*~~*In the Ball Room*~~*
“Pan!”
Pan turned around to see Trunks walking to her. With a smile, Pan quickly walked over to Trunks. “Hey Trunks. Or should I say… Prince Trunks?”
Trunks chuckled. “Well m’ lady. Can you do me a favor?”
Pan looked at him curiously. “And what’s that, my prince?”
Trunks extended his hand and grinned. “May I have this dance?”
Pan placed her hand on his, smiling. “Why not?”
The music began as Trunks and Pan started dancing. Many people looked on at them in awe. Soon, everyone began to dance.
“Pan… Do you know how beautiful you are right now?” Trunks whispered into Pan’s ear.
Pan blushed furiously. “Stop kidding around Trunks.”
Trunks just grinned as he nibbles on her earlobe. “Who said that I was kidding?”
Pan just turned redder than before.
By the end of the night, everyone began to leave after congratulating the Queen and the King for the magnificent ball. Trunks quickly grab Pan’s hand and smile. “C’mon. Goten and Bra are waiting for us.”
They left the room before the last of the guests left. Quickly, Trunks drag Pan through the corridors and stopped in front of his room. With graceful movements, Trunks opened the door and bowed. “After you, m’ lady.”
Pan smiled softly and walked in. There was Bra with her head on Goten’s lap (not that way, you perverts!). They were staring at each other affectionately ad Goten played with Bra’s hair. With a huge grin, Pan cleared her throat.
Instantly they looked up and blushed furiously. “I-I… umm… Hey Pan…” Goten stammered.
“So are you two a couple?”
Bra turned redder. “Umm… Yes… Look Pan. If you feel uncomfortable about th-”
Pan shook her head. “No. I’m glad that you two are together. You guys are cute together! Congratulations!”
Goten grinned crookedly. “Thank you, Pan. For being supportive.”
“Hey guys. It’s midnight.”
Pan whirled around to face Trunks. “Really?”
Trunks smiled. “Merry Christmas.”
Suddenly, Bra jumped up and hugged everyone. “Merry Christmas! I got every one of you a gift. C’mon. Let’s open them!”
Pan smiled. “Let me get my gifts.”
Goten nod. “Yeah. I need to get the gifts from my room too.”
Bra grinned. “Oh yeah. Me too.”
Everyone went to their rooms to get the gifts. Trunks sat down on his bed patiently waiting. Taking out the gifts from his closet, he smiled softly as he thought of the reactions that the others will have. Especially Pan.
“We’re back!” Bra cried as she, Pan, and Goten entered the room.
As they all sat down on the floor, they sorted out the gifts. “This one is for Goten, this is for Pan, and this is for Trunks.” Bra said.
Finally, they were settled.
“Bra. You should go first.” Trunks said. Bra pouted. “Fine. Now the first gift is from Trunks.” Quickly, she ripped the wrapping paper.
“And to think that I spent my time to wrap the gifts. Only to get the wrapping paper ripped into little pieces…” Trunks complained teasingly.
Finally, Bra revealed a long velvet red dress with some gold here and there.
“Thank you Trunks! This was what I wanted for a long time!” Quickly, she opened the gift from Pan. It was a whole set of make-up. “Pan! It’s wonderful! Thank you!” Finally, she opened the gift from Goten. It was a golden, heart-shaped locket. Opening it, there was an engraving on it along with a small portrait of her.
Bra looked up at Goten lovingly. “Thank you Goten. It’s beautiful. It’s the best present I ever gotten.”
Pan sighed as the two couples stared into each other’s eyes. “Goten. Open your presents.”
Snapping out of it, Goten just opened all his gifts at once. From Pan, he got a book on creatures all over the world. From Trunks, he got gold coins.
“I don’t know what to buy you, so instead I’ll give you some gold to buy something you want.” Trunks said.
Goten nod in understanding and looked at what Bra gave him. It was a dark blue mantle. “I umm… made that by myself. Do you like it?”
Goten stared at Bra in awe. “Bra… This is going to my favorite present ever. Thank you.”
“I’m opening my presents now!” Trunks cried.
He opened the gifts quickly. He got the latest book from Bra, a writing set from Goten, and a gold pocket watch.
“It’s the latest thing in Europe.” Pan explained. “It lets you know the time easily.”
Trunks grinned. “Cool.”
At last, Pan opened her presents. She got a new dress from Bra, a few golden bracelets from Goten, and last but not least, she got a music box from Trunks. The music box has a beautiful, polished, dark brown surface with some gold here and there.
“It’s… beautiful…”
Cautiously, Pan lifts the lid. A soft, but beautiful music began. Inside, there was a silver locket. Pan looked up to see Trunks smiling at her. Slowly, Pan opened the locket. There was a short engraving inside. Quickly, Pan read it.
“Tru… Trunks… I… I don’t know what to say… T-Thank you…”
Trunks looked on at Pan’s reaction sadly. ‘If only… If only I have the courage to tell her…’
Slowly, Pan stood up. “Umm. It’s getting late. I better go for bed. Good night everyone.”
With quick movements, Pan picked up her gifts and walked out of the room.
*~~*In Pan’s Room*~~*
Pan placed the dress into her closet and the golden bracelets in her jewelry box. All that’s left are the music box and the locket from Trunks. With care, Pan places the music box down on the table stand. Then, she opened the locket and read the message again.
‘To my dearest Pan,
You’re everything to
me. You conquered my
heart and my soul. I don’t
know how I’ll have to the
courage to say this, but…
Aishiteru.
Trunks’
Pan sighed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Placing the locket in her jewelry box, Pan went to answer the door. Instead of anyone she expected to be, there stood Darius. The royal knight.
“Hello m’ lady. I have a gift for you.”

Author’s Note: Finally! I’m done! I’m so sorry that I didn’t finish this sooner. I’m forced to go to summer school and I received tons of homework. It sucks. With all the homework, I didn’t have time to write the rest of the story. Well. I gotta work on the other chapter. Later!
