She was five years old when the whispers about him started. It was her aunt's funeral. He left in the middle of the ceremony and disappeared. No one saw him leave, they didn't need to. They felt him leave, though no one started talking until after the ceremony. They wouldn't dishonnor the woman the had assembled for, though their anger mounted.


Even after most of the people went home, he didn't come out of hiding and the little girl who looked up to him was becoming nervous. What if he was lonely? What if he was sad? She was so he probably was too because he had live with Auntie Bulma.... The thought made her even sadder and made her want to cry....

"Mommy? Mommy! Where is Uncle Vegeta?" the little girl asked tugging on a woman's sleeve. The woman, Videl, stiffened and the people around them who heard the softly spoken question narrowed their eyes in her direction, but didn't dare glare directly at the granddaughter of Hercule and the daughter of Gohan the most successful businessman next to Capsule Corp. It felt like they were glaring at her though and they were scary. Since most of the family members were warriors that had seen many battles or mothers who had seen the men and children come back wounded from battles, they had the look down to a pat. The only ones who weren't warriors or a mother were four year old Bulla holding eight year old Trunks's hand. None the less, they were still very angry. The only one who didn't glare at her was Goku. He looked at her with simpathy.

The little girl hid behind her mother's skirt terrified of the angry family members and friends that were family. She fisted her hands in her mother's skirt. "Not here," her mother replied shortly with a mild glare, just as angry as everyone else in the room. "Why don't you go outside and play, Pan." It wasn't a question. The words dripped like mild venom and her mother had never spoken to her like that before. Pan nodded scared and fled thinking: why was her family glaring and angry with her? What did she do? Maybe she should apologize later... when everyone wasn't so angry..... What she didn't know was that topic wouldn't cool enough to talk about for years.

Once she was outside she didn't go to play sure there were swings and a teeter totter and a merry-go-round. But... why play when you had a perfectly good Gravity Room (GR) to workout in? She rushed to the door, flung it open and promptly dodged an energy blast.

"What are you doing here, Brat," he growled, his eyes swirling with turmoil. He really wasn't mad at her, but she was the closest person to take his frustration out on. Though that didn't damper her spirits in the slightest. She had found him when the adults hadn't! She was there so if he was lonely before he wouldn't be now. If he was sad then she would try to help him. He was her idol and he needed her help now. So she would do what she could. Though she didn't know what a little girl like her could do for him, but she'd do her best to do whatever he needed to have done.

"Uncle Vegeta!" Pan exclaimed happily bouncing from foot to foot. "I'm glad I found you!" Pan rushed into the other room and grabbed a small light blue gi (the blue armor spandex that Vegeta almost always wears). She poked her head out of the changing room as she tried to get into the gi quickly. "I was afraid you'd get lonely all by yourself." She explained in a way only a small child could. Just as quickly as her head had appeared, it disappeared back into the room. Finally succeeding to get into her gi she ran out and started attacking.


It had been fifteen years since that day, and Vegeta had trained her everyday since. The whispers were worse now then they were. Both Vegeta and Pan knew. Videl and Gohan had tried to get her to stop training with Vegeta but she wouldn't stop. Couldn't stop… for both of their sakes. Who else would make sure he ate? Who else would listen to her when she said her parents' maybe great business people but as parents they weren't at all what you'd expect? Even after all of these years he wasn't okay. But no one believed Pan. They even tried to make her hate him. She couldn't. Trunks took over Capsule Corp. and stayed with him until he had the money to move out (he was popular and the family, especially now that thier mother had passed, all asked if he and his little sister wanted to stay with them) even though he hated his father for what happened. Bura, Trunks's little sister, never knew Vegeta, he shut himself away before she really got to know him. He missed her entire childhood. She married Pan's Uncle Goten at eighteen (she's a year younger than Pan). Plus, the fact that Bulma had left her entire fortune to Vegeta, which was enough for the family six lifetimes even if they were all full-blooded Saiyans, enraged the whole family.

Why did everyone hate Vegeta?


So? What do ya think? Please review!

Arigato!! (Thank you!!)
