Domo
I don't own DBZ...(but I wish I
owned Trunks!) nor do I own either song. Please don't sue. I do, however, own
the woman with the cell phone (read it and you'll know.)
This story is sad, if you couldn't tell from the author's description on the
main page. Maybe a kleenex alert, but I'm not sure exactly how sad I was with
this one.
Why didn't I say the things I
needed to say?
How could I let my angel get away?

Trunks finally got up his courage and called Pan to ask her if she wanted to go
for a ride.
Vegeta stood watching him. "That's no way for a Saiya-jin to get a
girl," Vegeta said. "You shouldn't act so nervous. Now me- I'd just
kiss her, and if she slaps me- well- it's not like it would hurt me," he
smirked.
*Damn. How can he always read my emotions so easily? How'd he know how nervous I
was?*
He glared at his father, and then exited, still peeved at his nosyness.
@}~~{~~~~~
Pan was excited, and not acting a bit like her typically stoic eighteen-year-old
self. "Yes, yes!" she screamed, hopping around on the furniture as Bra
and Marron gave her strange looks.
Poor Gohan had the bad luck to walk into the room at the wrong moment, and Pan
crashed directly into him.
"Heh heh. Gomen nasai, Otou-san."
"What's with her?" he asked, addressing the more sane people (or
non-people, as the case happened to be) in the room.
"She just got a call inviting her out on a date," Bra answered.
"Hey, how'd you know?" Pan asked.
"I have Saiya-jin hearing, too," Bra reminded her friend.
"But isn't he too old for you?"
"No!" Pan yelped.
"How old is 'he?'" Gohan asked, for once being as clueless of his
father (in that he had no idea who 'he' was.)
"He's not that old, and besides, I can take care of myself, Daddy,"
Pan assured.
"Not against-" Bra was cut off as Pan jammed an elbow into her
stomach.
{AN: See? I did get a bit of humor into this!}
@}~~{~~~~
Trunks came to pick Pan up in the most nondescript car he had. (It wasn't very,
at that) Pan didn't know her dad was spying from the window. However, the car
had dark windows, and Gohan couldn't see inside. The car was one of many owned
by Trunks, so that didn't give him a clue either. {AN: He didn't think to try ki
senses.}
"What are you watching, dear?" Videl asked, not looking up from where
she was folding the laundry.
"Um...nothing," Gohan said.
"I know better. You're worried about our little Pan being a big eighteen
year old girl who can take care of herself."
Gohan only sighed in response.
"I think they make a cute couple, anyway," Videl went on.
Gohan facefaulted. "N-nani? You know who...?"
Videl blinked. "Isn't it obvious?"
"No! Tell me! Who? Who? Bra said he was too old."
"Love transends age boundaries." Videl sighed romantically. "But
I know Bra really supports this. Pan's already like a sister to her. This way
she really will be."
"Huh?"
"Men! Do I have to spell it out? Pan is in love with Trunks."
"What??! He is WAY too old for her."
"Age doesn't matter if you're in love." Videl still had to keep her
husband from running off to pound Trunks into the ground. ^_^ (Poor Trunks! Poor
Videl!)

Trunks wasn't sure when everything went wrong. He and Pan were driving to the
beach, a good two hours' drive. Pan claimed she didn't want to attract attention
by flying. Unfortunately, he hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before, seeing
as how he'd been up till four signing legal documents.
He must have nodded off at the wheel, because the next thing he knew, Pan was
screaming in his ear. He woke up to see a car stalled in his lane, with not
enough time to stop. The last thing he remembered was the crash of the impact...
~~~~~}~~{@
We were out on a day in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far,
There on the road, straight ahead,
A car was stalled; its engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound...that night
The screaming tires, the bustin' glass,
The painful scream that I...heard last.
~~~~~}~~{@
Oh my god, what have I done? Trunks thought as he slowly came to. He could
barely move...but he had to find Pan.
"Uhhhh..." he groaned. There was a large crowd gathering. One woman
was on her cell phone, presumably calling an ambulance, as she was giving
directions.
Trunks hauled himself up with an effort, leaning on the twisted wreckage of the
car. "Ma'am?" he asked, as the people around him twittered. He thought
he heard someone whisper, "Nothing human could have survived that."
She looked at him, and her eyebrows raised. "What is it sonny?"
"When you finish there, please call Bulma Briefs and tell her what
happened."
"Ohh..." she acknowleged. "You're Trunks Briefs, aren't you. And
that is?"
"Son Pan."
"The Satan girl!" Trunks nodded, rolling his eyes. Now, where was
Pan...
He gapsed when he saw her, or the bloody mess she had become. She had been
thrown more than twenty feet from the car. He painfully started walking towards
her, all other cares forgotten.
"Pan?" Trunks choked, stumbling over to her.
He lifted her head and placed it on his lap. She looked at him, the brightness
in her eyes rapidly dimming. And that's when he knew she was dying.. ~~~~~}~~{@
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me,
She's gone to Heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave...this world.
~~~~~}~~{@
"Trunks..." Pan whispered, even that small task sounding like an
effort. "Do something for me?"
"Hai, hai, anything you want."
"Sing..." He looked at her, startled. At their kareoke parties she had
always told him he had a beautiful voice. It still sounded like a strange
request though.
~~~~~}~~{@
When I woke up the rain was falling down
There were people standing all around
Something warm falling through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head,
She looked at me and said,
"Oh my darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her (our last kiss)
I found the love that I knew I had missed
Well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life...that night.
~~~~~}~~{@
"Please Trunks..." she said, raising a trembling hand to his face. He
racked his brain, trying to think of something appropriate to sing, then licked
lips suddenly gone dry.
"Come stop your crying, it'll be all right.
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you,
I will be hear, don't you cry.
For one so small, you seem so strong,
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm,
This bond between us can't be broken,
I will be here, don't you cry.
Cause you'll be in my heart,
Yes you'll be in my heart,
From this day on, now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart,
Yes you'll be in my heart,
Always.
Always..."
"Domo, Trunks-kun."
Her hand fell from where she had placed it on his face.
"Aishiteru, Pan." He kissed her on the lips.
"Domo..."she repeated, then fell silent.
*** Translation: Domo: Thank you. Aishiteru: I love you.

Months passed, and Trunks was inconsolable. That is, until one night, Trunks had
a dream.
Pan was there, glaring at him. "You baka! Quit acting like such a jerk.
Don't you know everyone's worried about you?"
"....."
"Trunks..." she said softly, "There's someone else who loves you.
Can't you see? You're breaking her heart."
"But you..."
"Trunks, I can't be happy if you're not. We'll see each other again some
day. In the mean time, go to Marron."
"Pan, are you sure you're OK with this?"
She nodded. "But only if you sing to me. Then I'll be able to truly rest.
That, and if I have your word of honor to love again."
"Hai..." Trunks said.

"Domo..." Pan said,
fading away.
Trunks woke with Pan's name on his lips, then smiled. It was a new dawn for him.

Yeah, yeah, I know a car accident probably couldn't realistically kill Pan. And
yes, I know she could have been wished back. But just bear with it, K peoples?!
