~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan lay in her room late one night and cried into her Pillow. Trunks had dumped her for no reason.

"Damn you, Trunks... Damn you to hell... Don't you see I love you?!" Cried Pan.

She sat up abruptly and looked into her dresser mirror and frowned.

"Why doesn't he love me? I don't understand... we had been dating for almost four years... why? But, oh gods ... I still love him ... Why can't I stop loving him?!" She screamed in frustration.

She stared into the mirror again.

"I'm not pretty, I'm not smart... I'm just a fighter. That's all I'll ever be." She said doubting herself.

She was devastated, she had to get out. She had to leave. So, sadly she packed her clothes. She wrote a few quick explanatory notes to parents, her best friends and the others. She loved Trunks so much. How could he just dump her?

'He said he needed space...' She thought sadly to herself.

Her heart was broken and she had nothing worth staying for. She was torn. She needed to get a away for awhile, to maybe be able to start her life again instead moping around stuck in the black hole of heartbreak.

She closed the suitcase. Another tear fell down her soft cheek as she placed the notes on her pillow. She quietly stepped out of her home, lowing her ki carefully as to not attract anyone's attention. She turned to the front of her house, giving it one last look before she left.

'Good-bye Daddy and Mom... t-this is just something I have to do.' She thought, a bit of guilt tugging at her heart as she took one last look at her house, and turned to fly away.

She sat for a few hours at the airport. The damn clerks wouldn't let her register for a ticket without her parents there. As she waited, she thought of Trunks and her stomach tied
into a knot.
'Will I ever get over him?'

Just then a a loud voice interrupted her thoughts.

"I have an extra ticket to Los Angeles in the USA! Anyone need a ticket?"

She jerked her head up, focused on finding the owner of the voice. A man in a suit was waving it above his head. He looked like he was in a hurry.

"I need one! How much?" Pan yelled, running over to him, nearly crashing into him.

The man looked at her and smiled.

"I bought it by mistake. I need to get it off my hands."

Pan was silent a moment.

'America was supposed to be great.' She pondered, thoughts rushing through her mind. 'I would like to go to America...'

"I'd like to buy it, how much?"

He grinned, relieved. "Four hundred dollars."

Pan gasped. 'That's a lot of money! But, it's my only way out.' She thought desperately.

She sighed, "All right, I'll take it..."

She handed the money to the man and grabbed her ticket.

She sighed and looked her it.

'Now I only have three-hundred dollars left... maybe I could get a job in America and finish up my senior year...'

She then hurried to the gate number so she wouldn't be late for her flight. She still couldn't believe she was doing this...

'Running away from home at my age!' She laughed at herself. 'But, what else is there to do?' She thought.

She sat comfortably in her airplane seat. She leaned back in the chair and recollected the reason she was on this dreaded flight in the first place.

::Flash Back::

The, what seemed to be, happy couple walked hand-in-hand. The soon arrived at a restaurant where they would be eating their anniversary dinner at. Pan smiled happily and unkowningly at Trunks, and he mangaed to crack a nervous one back at her.

"P-Pan..." He said, his brows now furrowed.

"Hmm?" She smiled at him.

"W-we need to talk about us..."

"What about us?" Pan said, cocking her head to the side questionably.

"I-I... don't know how to put this, so I'm... I'm just going to say it."

Pan looked at him, not expecting good news at all...

"I think... we should break up." He said, looking down at the table.

Pan was shocked.

"W-what the hell are you talking about. Trunks, we've been together for four years and... I thought you loved me. Don't you see!? Don't you see I love you!? Bastard!" She cried, still not believing her ears.

Enraged by what her so-called lover had just said, she stood abruptly and splashed her glass of red wine all over her face. She turned around and ran out of the restaurant, a soaked Trunks following her quickly.

She ran, jumped into sky, and flew away. Tears poured down her cheeks. Trunks flew after her and quickly caught her.

As her stared at her, he saw her eyes were red and tears adorned her cheeks.

"Pan... I'm so sorry. I just feel-" He was stopped short by Pan.

She slapped his face. Trunks was shocked.

"Shut up, Trunks... Don't you love me?! Were you just using me because I was a good match for you, a good warrior and sparring partner? Don't you love me for me?" Cried Pan.

Receiving no answer, Pan flew away from Trunks, leaving him floating alone in
the night sky.

Her feet lightly touched the cement pavement. She walked through the desolate park as she drew closer and closer to her home. Tears fell freely from her eyes. The whole ordeal seemed like a nightmare. She finally reached her house and quietly entered, stiffling her sobs.

::End Flashback::

"Buckle your seat belts, the plane will be landing soon." Pan jerked from her sleep. It had been a long flight, and she was glad she had gotten a chance to take a nap. It had bee a long night, and she hadn't slept a wink. She buckled her seat belt and waited for the plane
to land. She closed her eyes.

'Silly, a warrior like me would be so fidgety of a plane landing' She silently scolded herself.

"Miss, are you ok? You can calm down, we'll be on solid ground soon." The handsome man next to her whispered lightly in her ear.

Pan opened her eyes to see dark brown eyes looking at her. "Excuse me?"

He blinked.

"Do you know English?"

He was very good looking. A mop of brown hair and spiky bangs covered his eyes, he had some reading glassed on, but they just made him look smart.

Pan nodded, "Yes... I do."

He smiled. "Good. I was just trying to say, landing isn't bad. Just relax. I've been flying lots of times, and it's never bothered me before. Don't let it bother you."

She nodded, "Ok, thanks..." She felt her cheeks heat slightly.

He smiled at her blush.

"My name is Eric, Eric Jungian. What's yours?"

"Pan. Pan Son."

Eric smiled and raised his hand to her. She smiled slighly, took it, and shook it.

"Nice meet to you, Eric."

"You too. Why are you going to Los Angeles? It's a big city, you could get hurt. How old are you?"

She frowned.

"I'm old enough, and why is it any of your business?"

Eric raised his hands as a symbol of his surrender.

"Whoa, I was just trying to take your mind off the fact that the plane is landing." He smiled.

Pan felt all her anger drain away. He was right, they were landing.

'Gods, I feel stupid.' But the good thing was, she wasn't the slightest bit scared.

She smiled sheepishly at him.

"Um, well sorry. I'm nineteen and as to why I'm coming here... it was the only ticket available."

Eric smiled at her. "Oh, well that's cool. I'm twenty three. I'm not actually coming to Los Angeles... I'm taking a bus to my hometown. Northton, Nevada. It's beautiful there, all the plateaus and valleys. Everybody knows everybody else. The temp's hot, but I like it."

Pan nodded slowly. She was beginning to understand that maybe Los Angeles wasn't the best place for her to go.

"Can I come with you? I mean, I need some where to go, and I have a feeling here isn't my best choice. Do you know where I can buy a ticket?" She asked innocently.

Eric's eyes widened at her abruptness.

"Well..." He thought a minute. "I don't see why you couldn't come. But I have an extra ticket. I was visiting Japan with a friend, but he decided to stay longer. I have his ticket in my bag."

Pan grinned. "How much do you want for it?"

Erin smiled back. "Free."

She frowned. "Oh, no I couldn't!"

"Whoa, don't worry, Pan! My mother loves guests. You could come with me and stay longer if you'd like. Plus, my sister is same your age! You two would probably get along fine..."

"Are you sure you mom won't mind if I stay with you?"

"Yea, Pan." he smiled.

Pan nodded, "All right, Thank you... and but I'll find some way to repay you, you hear me?"

He grinned, "No problem!"

Pan smiled.

~~~
Bra hummed as she walked to Pan's house. She knocked on the doorit opened to a cheery Videl.

"Good morning, Bra! Come in! Can you wake Pan up? She's sleepy-head!"Videl giggled.

Bra laughed too. "Ok! I will!"

Bra ran to Pan's room. She opened the door and saw it empty. She saw the notes on Pan's bed. She picked it one up and read it. She gasped and yelled.

"Videl-san! Pan's GONE!"

Videl, along with Gohan, ran quickly to Pan's room.

"What's wrong?!" asked Gohan.

Bra showed it to them and it said.

Dear Daddy and Mom,
I am so sorry I didn't let you guys know I was leaving ... I had to leave ...
I had to do this. I made the decision, so don't think you could have stopped
me. I'm sorry if you are worried about me, but this is something I had to
do. I'll be fine. I'll finish school, and I promise that! Maybe I'll do
really good. I'll come home, but only when I'm able to face everything
that's happened in my life lately. I really am sorry. Mom and Daddy, please
don't worry about me, I am not little girl anymore. I love you so much...

Love,
Pan

"No... Pan...Why'd she leave?!" Videl cried.

Gohan, in a state of shock, wrapped his arms around his wife and tried to comfort her.

Bra watched in disbelief. She ran out the door to inform the others that her good friend had just suddenly... run away.

~~~

"She did WHAT? That can't be!" Goten yelled.

The gang, excluding a certain Saiyan prince, talked wildly and questioned about the newest problem that had developed.

Bra, frustrated and mad, lost her temper.

"EVERYONE, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"

The whole Z group stop talking and turned to a frustrated Bra.

"Now listen, I've got a good question for all of you! Who's going to tell Trunks?"
