Chapter 1- Realization

A four year old girl wakes up and yawns. She stretches and walks sleepily to the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she finishes the dark haired girl washes her face and bounds down the stairs and greets her smiling mother with a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Mama." She hugs her mother.

"Hey Pan." Videl lifts Pan up and places her into the seat across the table already set up with 5 cartons of eggs, a beater and a big bowl. "are you ready to help me make breakfast?" The young mother questions.

"Yeah!" The small girl responds enthusiastically as she begins to crack the eggs. Videl walks over to the stove and places a pancake pan on the eye and puts butter into the pan. The butter sizzles and crackles and she pours batter into the heated pan. Videl looks over at Pan who has a bunch of egg yoke over herself. The toddler smiles and giggles.

"Pan, you messy girl!" The mother wets a towel and wipes off her daughter's face. "Go change, 'kay?"

"Alright." She walks up the stairs and into her room. Videl looks over into the bowl and sees the bowl half filled but it has some shells in it. She picks out the shells and tosses them into the trash while smiling to herself.

"This looks delicious honey!" Gohan exclaimed as he walked down the stairs while looking at the food already set up on the table. 30 stacks of pancakes, 20 plates of bacon and sausage, 40 plates of french toast, 15 plates of hash-browns, 25 stacks of waffles, and 30 plates of eggs.

"Thank you." Videl sat 3 huge pots of oatmeal on the table.

Suddenly, everything was dark for Gohan. "Don't forget me daddy!" Pan squealed. Gohan took of the tiny hands that were covering his eyes. He carried Pan to the table. He placed into her chair and grabbed a plate only for the plate to drop and clatter on the tile floor as he cradled his hand.

"Videl...!"

"Now Gohan I thought you knew that Chi-Chi and Goten were coming over."

"Then this isn't enough!"

"Chi is bringing over food too. She should be here in a few minutes."

"What about Grandpa?" Pan asked.

"Pan remember? He left last week to train Uub in his village." Videl explained for the 20th time. It's been like this since he left. Pan would ask about him every meal.

"Oh..." Pan looked down and frowned.

Pan snatched a blueberry muffin and took a big bite. "Ith s ood offa." Pan said with her mouth full.

"Pan chew then talk!" Chi-Chi scolded. Pan swallowed.

"This is good Grandma." Pan smiled sheepishly.

"Aw of course it is." Chi-Chi beamed.

"Mom we're running out of food." Goten whined.

"Well maybe you'll learn to eat and save."

"But I was hungry." Meanwhile Pan grabbed another plate and stacked it with two of each.

"Pan don't you think that's enough?" Videl questioned her daughter. Pan looked at her and a light pink blush spread across her face.

"Nope." Pan went back to her seat and started eating but she could only finish one of each. "Mer..." The young saiyan rolled over on the floor and groaned.

"Pan how could you?!" Goten said dramatically. "You're no true saiyan!" He smiled and walked over and tickled her. " You must redeem yourself in a spar!" he grabbed her and and carried her to Videl and Gohan's backyard.

"Your doing good Pan!" Goten dodged a punch then kicked Pan into a nearby tree and she crashed through. He looked over his shoulder. "Shit. I hope Gohan didn't see that." He flew after Pan but was stopped short of the massive ki that was headed their way.

"What the-?" He was cut off with a punch to his jaw which set him back a few feet. He looked up as he flew and saw a young boy no older than 10 with dark green hair in a fade. The boy looked at Goten and his gaze sent shivers down his spine. But the young boy didn't glare at him. He just made eye contact.

"Uncle Goten? Where are you?" Pan's small voice came closer as she saw the green haired stranger standing over her uncle. "Hey you! You leave him alone! This is the most fun I've had since grandpa left!" she glared at the stranger who in turn laughed at her.

"Goten. Are you going to let a child defeat you only to have a brat defend you?" The stranger laughed loudly and Pan's ki began to rise.

"I'm serious!"

"Pan. Goten. Are you two okay?" Gohan's voice came as he entered their backyard. The stranger faced Pan and before Gohan could do anything he shot a voilet blast straight at Pan who took the hit head on and flew back 10 yards and then the boy disappeared.

"Gohan what's going on?" Videl came to the scene. Gohan flew over to where Pan landed and she was unconscious. Gohan took her wrist to make sure she was still breathing and she was. he grabbed his daughter and ran back to the house and saw Goten with a swollen jaw.

"Goten you should've been able to take that punch. The little boy hit you!" Chi-Chi ranted.

"Mom. His ki was as higher than mine as a Super Saiyan." Goten managed to say.

"Yeah and that bastard blasted Pan." Gohan said as he went into the house and got a senzu bean and put into Pan's mouth. "And Goten. I saw you kick Pan into that tree." Gohan said as he looked at Goten.

"Well Gohan you see..." Goten vanish and I.T to Bulma's house.
