"I want to finish school," she said. "I only had a few months left. Come to think of it, I brought my backpack with me when I snuck onto the ship. I bet it's in my belongings somewhere with my school books and uniform."

"That's great," Trunks smiled at her. "You were the top of your class. I'm sure you'll pass with no problems."

Pan's smile widened. "There are two more things I want."

"Go on," he smirked at her.

"I want to go to the beach, and I want to go on a date with you."

Trunks furrowed his eyebrows, "what do you mean go on a date with me? We go on dates."

"I mean, a date on earth," Pan explained.

Trunks chuckled, "I think I can make that happen." Kore was beautiful, but it wasn't a planet with too many options other than going to a park, going out to eat, or taking a walk. His mind was already buzzing with things he and Pan could do together once they got home.

"You never said what you wanted," Pan said as she looked at him curiously. "Isn't there something you want?"

Trunks thought about it for a minute. "I never want to go back to space again," he began.

"Me too!" Pan nodded vigorously. They both had had their fill of space adventures.

"I want to become CC's CEO successfully," Trunks continued. "I do actually like working there and making things, but I still want to be able to go out with friends and have fun. I want to go on dates with you, and I want what we have now. I want to spend my evenings helping you fix supper as we talk about our day, and every night, I want to go to bed with you by my side."

Pan's cheeks were pink as she stared at him. "Are you asking me to move in with you once we get home?" She asked softly.

"We've been living together for the last six months," he reminded her.

"I know," Pan said, her cheeks growing pinker. "I just didn't think you would want to keep living with me once we got home."

Trunks felt his mouth pop open. "Panna, I love you; of course, I want to live with you."

Her cheeks were still growing pinker, and somehow, Trunks knew exactly what her fear was. It was his fault for being so harsh to her initially and for making her think he was better without her. He reached over and grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"Going home isn't going to change how I feel about you now, Pan," Trunks promised. "Truth be told, I'm certain it's going to make me want you even more. I know once we first arrive home, there'll be a few days when you probably want to stay with your family, and I'm okay with that as long as once everything gets settled, we're together again."

Pan smiled shyly, "I want that too."

After they finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen, Trunks took a seat on the couch and leaned back with his eyes closed to relax for a moment while Pan took off to find her backpack. It only took a few minutes before he could hear her coming back into the living room.

"Trunks, look!" Pan laughed, "I knew my old uniform was in there! It's a bit tighter than it used to be, though," she huffed.

Trunks opened his eyes, and when he spotted Pan, his mouth popped open slightly. Pan's uniform shirt was a white-button up with a black bow tied in the front. It was tight around her chest, and it outlined the curve of her hips in a way that made Trunks' hand twitch. Her skirt was black, and it danced across her smooth thighs. There was only an inch or two of Pan's legs that showed because of the black thigh-highs she was wearing.
