Love is a Funny Thing
Pan sat on the edge of the Briefs� pool.  Swinging her legs in the water, she watched her best friend, Bra flirting with her uncle Goten.  Pan shook her head, smiling.  As much as she loved her uncle he could be really dense sometimes.  This was one of those times.
The door to the house slammed shut and Pan turned, expecting to see Bulma with the snacks.  Her breath caught in her throat when she saw who it was.   Trunks!  She watched as he crossed the yard to the pool.  He pulled his t-shirt off and stuck his foot in to test the water.  Gah!  She couldn�t stop staring!  He was so handsome!  His face was sweet but strong and she longed for those muscular arms to hold her, but she was only 15 and he was 29.  He would never be interested in her.
Suddenly, as if sensing her watching him he turned and looked right at her.  She blinked, then blushing, she turned away.
Trunks� eyes widened.  Was he imagining things, or had Pan been staring at him?  She looked up again and, seeing him still watching her, blushed even redder and began to study her toes.  Nope, not imagining things.  Trunks� eyebrows made a V as he concentrated.  Why the heck would Pan be staring�. Suddenly it hit him.  Pan had a crush on him!  He shot a look at her and saw her still staring dispiritedly down at her feet.  A slow smile spread across his face.  This could be fun.  Like a cat, he began to slink back around the pool towards Pan.
�Stupid, stupid, stupid!� Pan berated herself. �How could you let him catch you staring at him? He�s gonna think you�re a psycho, for Kame�s sake!� 
Just then, she felt strong, masculine arms scoop her up.  She had a fleeting glimpse of purple hair before she was flying through the air into the pool.  She came up sputtering.
�Who?�� she trailed off.  Trunks was standing on the edge of the pool grinning at her.  She treaded water, her mouth open in shock.
�You�.� She said before Trunks cut her off.
�I noticed you were a bit red, so I thought I�d cool you of�, he said cheekily.  Bra and Goten watched in amusement. 
�Oh, you are so not going to get away with that!� she exclaimed as she shot out of the water.  She did a neat little somersault in the air and pushed Trunks headfirst into the water.  Pan floated above him with a smug look on her face.
�How do you like it?� she asked.
�Hmmm.  Better if you were enjoying it too�, he said and pulled her under with him.  The two came up laughing and splashing.  Before they knew it, Bra and Goten had joined in and they were having an all out war.  Finally, exhausted, they crawled out of the water and lay panting on the concrete.  When they finally had their wind back, Goten announced that he had to go and Trunks walked him inside to get his stuff.
�Hey, Pan?�
�Yeah Bra?�
You wanna have a sleepover?�
�Sure!� Pan smiled to herself as she dried herself in the sun.  More time to spend her in Trunks� home!
