Approximately three months have passed since the defeat of Omega Shenron. And because of that, the Earth and its people have been enjoying their peace now that they were safe from great danger for the greater good. In the mean time, Pan was soaring across the bright blue sky as free as any bird could be. Not a single cloud was in sight. She grinned, feeling the breeze all over her as she flew faster. She could as well see things going on smoothly down in the city from down below. Everything felt perfect. Well, almost...
With the chance to have peaceful times, a sacrifice had to be exchanged of course. Nothing ever came so easy in life. Her grandpa, Goku made the decision to go with Shenron and be gone for good. Pan knew the reasons why he did it, but she couldn't help but feel selfish. After spending the majority of her time reuniting with her grandpa who was a kid, he just had to go and leave her and their family again?
No doubt though, she sure enjoyed her adventures with Grandpa Goku and Trunks. Well, despite how crazy things got. Guess that's how things would always operate when you have Saiyan genes in your blood. And at least she had her other Grandpa from her mother's side! No other than the famous Hercules Satan! She adored him just as much. So really things would be just fine anyway!
Pan finally eyed her target as she lowered herself down to the front of Capsule Corps. She approached one of the metallic doors as a voice from the machine questioned, "Who goes here?"
She raised her voice as she went on her tippy toes for a moment so the machine could monitor her voice accurately. "Son Pan!" Within seconds, the doors opened slowly allowing Pan to enter in. She began flying down the hallway, making her way to Bulma's lab.
As she flew, she noticed Vegeta walking down the hallway as well with a mug of coffee in his hands. She came to a stop. She waved at him before fist bumping his shoulder. "Hey, Vegeta!" The Saiyan prince nodded in acknowledgment of the young girl. "Bulla is in her room if you're looking for her." Pan shook her head. "Yeah I know, I'll see her right after! But I need to find Bulma first. She called me over to pick up something for my Dad."
With that, she continued on flying down to the lab. When Pan opened the door she was rather surprised to see that most of the lights were shut off as she could see most of the light was coming over from a desk across the room. "Hey, Bulma, I'm here! You seem to be up to something important."
Bulma turned around, smiling as she saw Pan. "Nice to see you again, Pan! And don't worry, I'll be with you in a few minutes. Just working on some finishing touches. Take a seat in the corner if you'd like." Pan nodded as she was made her way towards the stool. But as she was, her eyes stumbled upon a small green flashing light on one of the other desks. Curiosity was always Pan's weakness. And boy was she ready to figure this out.
She made her way towards the black desk. What was creating the green light that happened to be coming from some small gadget? The raven haired girl picked it up, examining it. It appeared to be some kind of watch, with silver straps. She tried it on, strapping it on her wrist. A perfect match! She continued on observing it curiously. It had the time on and all, but there was a peculiar red button on the side. The girl rose an eyebrow at this.
"Bulma, what does this red button do?" The turquoise haired scientist looked back towards Pan confused. "What do you mean-" Her blue eyes immediately widened as she saw her invention in Pan's hands. "NO! DON'T PRESS THAT! IT'S MY-" However, her voice was cut off as a sudden bright green light lit up the whole lab as Bulma closed her eyes to avoid it. Damn it! Bulma knew she shouldn't have left it sitting there! But how was she supposed to know Pan was going to do that? By the time the had light dwindled down, she looked back up, frantically searching for the young girl.
Her greatest fear that she was hoping wasn't true became a reality, Pan was nowhere in sight.
Pan slowly opened her eyes, squinting as the sun glared down at her. She sat up as she groaned, rubbing her head which was covered by her favorite orange bandana. Well, that was weird.
In about ten seconds, Pan's eyes widened as she remembered what just happened. One second she was in the lab, observing this odd watch and before she could comprehend what was going on, she was in the middle of some... forest?! Pan took a look down at the watch which showed a year that was way earlier than it should have been. She took off the watch for a moment, looking at the back. There it read: TIME TRAVEL WATCH C.C. PROTOTYPE. INVENTOR: BULMA BRIEFS What the heck was going on here?
This was actually happening. Pan managed to get herself back to the past somehow with the click of a button. So she should be able to do the same thing by returning to the future... Right? With that analogy, she clicked the red button. Now she'll be back in the lab where Bulma would probably be yelling at her... any second now...
Pan blinked in confusion. She was still in this forest place. She clicked on the red button again. Then she clicked it a couple more times faster, to the point it looked like she was going to tear the watch apart.
So that wasn't going to work, huh?
She furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance as she crossed her arms. How in the world was she going to get out of where ever she was? For all Pan knew, she could be stuck here for life and her parents back home would be left worrying about where she ran off to until they died!
Before she could continue making up any more bizarre ideas and theories, she saw a brown bunny approach her foot. Pan looked down at it with awe, picking it up in her arms. "Hey, little fella. You wouldn't happen to know where I am, right?" The animal only responded by nibbling on her shirt. She sighed, continuing on to think of a way out of here.
Perhaps there was still a Capsule Corps around here and Bulma could still fix it for her! She was pretty back in time, but Bulma still had to be around here somewhere for a fact. Her thoughts were brought to a halt as she sensed something odd approaching her very direction. Before she could even turn around, a sharp piercing pain suddenly emerged from the right side of her head.
The sudden impact caused Pan to clutch her head, dropping the bunny that immediately hopped away. Her eyebrows furrowed deeply as her eyes watered slightly. But she had no time to waste on tears. She looked down to the ground picking up the rock. "So that's what hit me, huh?" Who in the world would be throwing rocks at such alarming rates in the middle of nowhere?!
That does it. She wasn't even here in this place for ten minutes and already she was getting targeted to be killed. Pan clenched her fist along with the rock in her hand. She elevated up to the sky, examining the area. Looks like that rock couldn't have come far from here. With that, Pan began to fly towards the direction to where that random rock came from.
Goten was grinning eagerly as he threw the rocks at Gohan, trying to get a good aim on his older brother. Man, was he really good at dodging! Who knows how long it took for him to be that skilled.
Gohan, on the other hand, was trying to keep himself as focused as possible. He eventually got used to the rhythm and pace of the way Goten was throwing the rocks. But, Dende was the kid pretty fast for such a young age! Not only that but he can even go Super Saiyan! This really was the perfect training the both of them would need for the upcoming World Tournament. He was very excited to not only fight but finally see his dad again! This was the second time Gohan was doing this 'dodge the rock' training with Goten, and it was even more intense since now the kid knew how to fly.
Things were running smoothly for the Son brothers until Gohan stopped dodging, resulting to him getting hit accidentally with one of Goten's rocks on his arm. He hissed for a second, rubbing it slightly. Goten cocked his head in confusion as he looked at his older brother. "Hey, Gohan, why'd you stop? I was only getting started!"
"Yeah, I know, Sport. But I sense something rushing over here and it isn't really familiar." Gohan looked at the sky, trying to locate what he was sensing. Goten shrugged. "Maybe it was just some big old bird. Who cares?"
"I'm no big old bird, thank you very much!" Both of the boys turned around to follow the voice that belonged to the mysterious person floating in the air.
There they saw this young girl with black raven hair that was covered with an orange bandana. She as well was wearing a red crop top with light gray pants with a chain connected from her belt. She as well wore dark purple boots. Well, not as dark as the glare she was giving the two, especially Goten as she noticed the rock in his hand.
As Pan lowered herself down to the ground, she kept a fair distance between herself and the two. Now that she had a better look, she was shocked to see that these blondes looked really familiar. Especially with the kid in the orange gi. Heck, he was a spitting image of her grandfather as a Super Saiyan. Then there was the older kid in the purple who as well was blonde and blue eyed who resembled exactly like her father...
"Um, not to be rude, but who exactly are you?"
Pan blinked as she was interrupted from her thoughts when Gohan spoke up. She stood confidently again with a smirk, her arms crossed, looking at the two Super Saiyans. "Name's Pan. But that's not what's really important here. What matters is that you guys could have been the reason I had a concussion on my head Didn't anyone teach you not to throw rocks at 50 m.p.h. at girls?!" Both of them looked at the rock in Pan's hand as they laughed sheepishly. Boy, did that fiery character remind them of their mom alright!Gohan scratched the back of his head. "Gee Goten, guess we should have thought about how far those rocks could have gone. Who knows who else got hurt from that!"
Gohan scratched the back of his head. "Gee Goten, guess we should have thought about how far those rocks could have gone. Who knows who else got hurt from that!"
The younger Saiyan furrowed his eyebrows. "Hey, it's not my fault! She should have seen where she was going! Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten hit!"
Pan didn't look amused at all. However, she was shocked again as she realized that kid was her Uncle Goten! Guess she really was far back in time. "Why you little... Don't go and make me come after you for that!" Goten just stuck his tongue at her. But before the two could continue to bicker on, Gohan placed a hand on his younger brother's shoulder. "Alright hold it right there you two."
Gohan took a few steps towards Pan, eyeing her oddly, specifically her head. "You don't seem to be in much pain or damage. And you're sure that rock really hit you directly on the head?"
Pan nodded, rubbing the spot where the rock made contact with her head. "But now it's better. Of course, any other normal human being skull could have been knocked out with the throw of a Super Saiyan!"
Both Pan and Gohan laughed at that, imagining the poor fellow who could have endured that impact. However, Gohan looked more in shock than amused. How in the world did she know about Super Saiyans, let alone then the existence of Saiyans?
"You know about Saiyans?"
Pan quit her laughing as she saw that Gohan was deadly serious. Well, there goes her mouth running faster than she can keep up again. She coughed trying to think of an excuse. "Um, well I've heard it around somewhere I guess. But I could be wrong."
She prayed that her father who was now a teen in this time period wouldn't ask any more questions. To her relief, he seemed to drop it off as he suddenly got out of his Super Saiyan form. "Well you got quite a thick skull, that's for sure!" He then looked over at Goten. "Anyway, it looks like it's time to head back for lunch! Nothing like training to help pass the time."
"Yay! Eating time!" Goten then got out of his Super Saiyan form as well. Pan looked at him in awe. Wow, Uncle Goten really resembled Goku with the haircut and outfit as a kid! It was uncanny!
"Would you like to join us, Pan?"
Pan looked back at Gohan, taken aback at his invite. She really should have been heading to Capsule Corps and find a way to get out of this time period. She already did some impact in such little time. However before she could reply, a loud grumble could be heard. The raven haired girl cheeks had a faint pink to it as she laughed sheepishly. "Um, sure why not?" She remembered then she didn't have anything since 10 in the morning which was just some cereal.
Goten walked over to her with a smile. "Trust me, you'll enjoy it! Our mom makes the best meals for both Gohan and me! Just know you won't leave that table if you don't eat your vegetables, no matter how late. I learned that the hard way."
Gohan laughed as he ruffled his brother's hair. "There's no way of escaping mom's wrath, especially with vegetables." Pan controlled herself from not trying to say anything else that would give up her true identity. But boy did she understand that struggle.
The two brothers then flew up to the sky, Pan following behind. "Hey, how did you learn to fly like that?" Goten questioned, circling Pan in the air.
Pan began to think quickly about it. "Um...I learned from a friend. Picked it up pretty quickly"
It looked like it didn't take too much to convince Goten because the young boy just replied with a, "Oh. That's cool! My brother taught me along with his new girlfriend."
Pan looked over at Gohan who appeared very flustered, his whole face turning red. "Goten, how many times do I gotta tell you! We're just friends from high school, that's all!" Goten continued on laughing, as the two began to speed up in flight.
The raven haired girl watched with curiosity as the two flew away. She too picked up in speed. "Hey, wait up for me!"
ALRIGHT! The first chapter of the redo of this story. I'm pretty satisfied with this. Thanks for reading, and tune in for next time!
