End Flashback
Pan knew
Goku had only done that to push her, like his son and her father Gohan a push
was needed to reveal their true power. Pan's destination now was her father and
mother's home she imagined their reaction if she showed up as a super saiyan.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
A tiny house appeared into view as
her powerful saiyan eyes glanced towards its direction. Over the years Pan had
many fond memories of her home. But often she had other distinct remembrances
in her grandparent's house and Capsule Corpse, which she planned to visit also.
Though the Earth had been in peace for many a year but Pan still felt a need to
train and be stronger while the others didn't share Pan's training ethnic, even
Vegeta didn't spend as much time in the gravity room as he used to, but to
Bulma's delight more time with family.
Pan stepped
down from the sky in front of her house and opened the door.
"Mom! Dad I'm home!" she yelled in feeling most pleased with
herself, she'd lowered her Ki so no one would know her power level's current
state.
Pan walked
further into the living room and found where her family resided and Goten and
Marron. Pan peered in the room quizzically; apparently they didn't notice her
entrance so she listened into the conversation behind the wall into the room.
"-Goten
that took you long enough didn't!" Gohan's voice chirped.
"I was wondering when you would finally ask her" Videl's
motherly voice added.
"-And you'll need a nice dress to maybe I could go shopping
for you", continued Videl
"It was
really obvious" Marron said.
"Even I could see Goten falling all over you" Pan added
walking into the room while everyone let out a gasp of surprise.
"Hi" Pan
said cheerfully.
Immediately she found questions being asked at her from all
sides of the room and her father giving her a great big hug.
"When did
this happen?" asked Goten
"Today, sparing with Grandpa, he told me I wasn't good
enough to me a Son, ya know to get my mad and then we fought some more and then
I got wacked on the head real hard and everything got clearer to me and poof;
Super Saiyan Son Pan." She replied quite happily despite all her aching bruises
and cuts on her.
"Have you
told the others yet?" asked Marron.
"Not yet but I will, I just hope ChiChi doesn't throw a big
party…though she might for you too, when's the wedding?" Pan asked
"Wedding?"
asked Videl
"Wasn't that what you were talking about then?" Pan said
suddenly meekly.
"Ermm… no
Goten asked me if I wanted to go to a Capsule Corpse party with him, knowing
Goten he was so nervous and later I found out he brought me over here to talk
with Videl and Gohan about "the party" and leisurely ask me if I wanted to go
with him, of course this had set up written all over it so I told him I'd go
and that he needed a better plan" she answered with a giggle.
"Oopps
sorry Goten" Pan said at Goten's currently very red face.
"Well I'd best be off to C.C. I'll see you around later,
make sure ChiChi doesn't do anything too drastic k?"
Pan took
off once again after everyone waved goodbye but she could of swore she heard
Goten say: "How did she know?"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pan's
entrance wasn't as nearly as good as her entrance as her home. She looked for
the Brief's family Ki signatures the first she located from Bulma and Bra's who
were getting ready to leave of a shopping trip. Both congratulated her and Pan
sensed Vegeta's Ki off to the side so she turned around and gave him a sly
smirk.
Trunk's
currently happened to be a work so she figured she'd give him a nice surprise…
Stealthily
Pan snuck up just under Trunk's office window and unexpectedly heard what
sounded like Trunks was talking with himself.
"Shoot
the sky is calling to me again I really have to get out of this place"
Pan giggled she'd caught him jumping out his office window.
On cue
Trunk opened the window and jumped out. As soon as his feet left the window Pan
came from under the window and grabbed the unexpecting man's feet.
"Playing
hookie, ne?" Pan said releasing the purple-haired work escapee.
"You caught me…Pan?!" he said looking at her golden hair and
blue eyes.
"The one
and only" she added.
"That's great Pan you did it!" he said while floating in the
air adjacent to Pan.
Pan dropped
out of Super Saiyan for the time being because it was beginning to put a drain
on her. They both began to fly down toward the sidewalk. As they landed Pan
heard a voice behind her.
"Kami
she's beautiful"
"Nani?" Pan said in a new feeling of shock turning around at
Trunks
"Did you
say something?" she continued
"Iie, why did you hear something?" he answed.
"That's
odd" Pan thought.
They
continued walking down the street leisurely talking at will and admiring the
sites of the city.
"So Panny-chan what do you want for your birthday?" Trunks
asked and Pan very much knew it was to change the subject.
"I don't
know yet…hmm they're nothing that I really need I mean ever since I got my
apartment I really haven't been spending much expect for rent, food, and bills"
Pan said.
Trunks
laughed, "Bra could never live like that"
Pan suppressed a smile.
"Ok
now's your perfect chance ask her if she wants to go to the capsule corpse
party, I'm not going to be able to do this but I have to get her to come what
would a birthday party with out the birthday person be? I hope Goten is using a
good enough cover up for a business party but knowing him…"
Pan's eyes
widened he had been talking to her about Capsule corp, but she was hearing
something else!
"Pan…Earth
to Pan are you there?" Trunks asked waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh sorry I
was just thinking" she said blushing.
"Is something wrong?" he asked
"No nothing
I'm fine-oh its getting late I better get home to my apartment and fix some
dinner I have to go, Ja!" Pan said nervously heading up into the sky.
"You could
eat- he began but Pan had gotten away too fast
The last thing Pan heard was "I think
she's on to us…"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pan walked into her little apartment confused and her
thoughts else where from dinner. She supposed her mom and dad wouldn't mind if
she dropped down for dinner. The only thing she could ponder was what she was
hearing.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"Gomen to drop by unexpected but I wondered if I could eat
over I mean I really didn't feel like ramen tonight" Pan explained
"Ii Desu,
I'm glad you came over," her mother said.
"I think I'll have to double the batch of meat loaf then,
I just hope I don't over season it again"
"You never
over season it mom it's always been good to me" Pan said.
"Did I say that aloud? I must be talking to myself," Videl
giggled while Pan gulped.
"What am
I hearing?" she thought to herself.
"Oh hello Pan, you eating over for dinner?" said Gohan
walking into the room of the delicious smelling food to a saiyan.
"Good
time to tell Pan about the party since she walked into a conversation about it
good thing she didn't hear too much"
Pan turned
her attention toward Gohan.
"Uh oh I heard that again he didn't say any thing, what
the heck is this!"
"Pan you
know that party you heard us talk about with Goten and Marron? Well we're invited too, we're not sure on
the date but Bulma will tell us soon"
"Sure I'd
love to go" Pan said nonchalantly knowing the party would fall upon her
birthday.
"So what's
it for anyway?" she inquired.
"A get together we haven't all been together for a long
time" Videl added looking up from the oven.
"And it
just happens to fall near my birthday, ne?"
"Wow I never realized that" Gohan said almost nervously. Pan
nodded.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Dinner had been most enjoyable and she enjoyed spending time
with her parents dearly but it was so nerve wracking and interesting to hear
what Pan know believed as thoughts. In some strange way-she had become a
telepath. Sure she admitted the possibility of telling the others but she
figured it wouldn't last long soon she would go back to normal and move on.
Still you couldn't get into people's heads every day.
Pan lay in
her bed thinking of what she could be able to do. It wouldn't do any harm to
check. How she even began to try was unbeknownst to her.
Her
thoughts lead her to her father and she was just there searching through his
thoughts and memories at will.
Suddenly
although she could feel her bed around her she was stranding behind Gohan
fighting Cell. She could hear his thoughts at the moment and feel his power and
sadness at the loss of his Dad. Pan couldn't take it anymore she led herself
out. She had invaded personal memories, but they where so clear and she
actually felt a memory.
That
feeling wasn't right though, was she meant to know?
Now she could find out all she wanted to know and experience
the person's view she could hold universal knowledge! The thought was dizzying
but her conscience kept nagging at her, did she have the right to invade
people's private thoughts?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pan decided
the day after she found out about her gift to visit Piccolo and Dende, usually
Piccolo was pretty open to these sort of things if he couldn't read minds
himself which Pan was pretty sure he was capable of.
To her
surprise (yeah right), She knew she would find Piccolo meditating. Since there
was no humanly or saiyanly possible way of waking him up she used her mind
entering power again to open up to his thoughts.
Closing her
eyes she concentrated and felt herself seep in.
A chibi Piccolo lay in the mud looking pretty beat up,
Piccolo's past…No shelter from the rain no one to care just a will to become
more powerful and train harder to live. Pan stood in the back round she wanted
to help the poor namek up.
Something
must have happened because her head felt like it had been slapped back. Her
vision came back to the normal surrounding her, so it was capable to force
someone out of his or her mind.
Then Pan
saw Piccolo looking pretty P.O.'d
"Um Hi Piccolo-san" Pan said.
"You
were in my thoughts, ne?"
"Gomen Piccolo but hai I was in your thoughts"
"Where did
you learn that?" he said gruffly and a bit shocked.
"To tell the truth I don't know so I was hoping you could
help me", Pan said rather meekly.
"You've
been given a gift, try to understand that you've got to use it at will. What
you learn is your business but no I can not read minds"
"Then how
did you-?
"Common sense Pan, something nearly all saiyans lack…
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
While
Piccolo's advice hadn't been the least bit useful Pan did say a brief "Hi" to
Dende and Mr. Popo before heading back out.
Pan began
debating with herself, to use it or not use it, would it go away or not Piccolo
sounded like it would stay but Pan wasn't sure. In mid air Pan stopped before
she confused of angered herself more. Her head was spinning in a million
different directions.
