Unexpected Happenings
Chapter 1: Third Times the Charm
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Dragon Ball or any part of the franchise. No matter how much I wish I could but I hope you like it.
The two words "Son Pan" echoed throughout auditorium and then loud cheering from the far left corner.
'Man, why do are they so embarrassing?' Pan thought as she reached for her final diploma, with a wide smile on her face full of self pride.
"WOO GO PANNY!" Goten yelled. Her blush deepened as she made her way across the stage to move her tassel from the left to the right and then onward off of the stage.
'IM DONE!...I'm done. I wonder if everyb-' Pan's thought was cut short by an ambush of people.
"Pan I'm so proud of you; come here." Gohan said as his pulled his only daughter into a deep, loving hug.
"I miss you too Dad. I missed all of you; but mostly you Mom." She gave her mom the biggest hug that she ever gave her.
"I missed you too Panny. I love you. Now let's go get your stuff so you can come home after three long years. You know, you could have stayed home for the summers."
"Whats the point in that when I can broaden my horizon?" she said sarcastically
They walked to Pan's dorm room to gather the last of her stuff when Goten said, "How did you like my yell, Panny? " He said with a smirk.
That's weird; the look on his face is too familiar. She thought. "Well let's just say you're lucky that I didn't fly down and beat you up." She said and punched him in the arm playfully.
"Is that all you got? Wow you've gotten weak little Pan-Chan."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! But no I didn't train that much when I was here, it would be weird to see a girl, my size, lift as much as a body builder. But as soon as we get back ima start right where I left off. And I bet I could still beat you up."
"I don't know Pan. Not since he has to protect himself every time he goes to C.C." said Videl.
"What do you mean mom? Are Trunks and Goten in a fight or something?"
"No there not in a fight its cause of-" Videl got cut off by her brother-in-law..
"Vide,l I think it would be best if she found out LATER," Goten demanded.
"Alright, gezz she'll find out later."
"O…k…?" Pan said while trying not to care. What did I miss when I was gone? I knew I was gone for a long but what's at Capsule Corp. That Goten has to protect himself from? Then it just clicked. "Vegeta" Pan gasped. "Goten, what did you do to Vegeta?"
"What, why would you think it was him?" he questioned nervously.
"The only thing that you would have to protect yourself from would be him… That is unless Bra started to fight and could some how get to Super Saiyan three." Pan started to laugh. "Bra fighting is like me wanting to go shopping" I crack myself up sometimes. She mused to herself
"Like I said, you will find out later."
"Okay fine be that way. Lets go I miss my bed,its calling my name! Pan~ Pan~"
Gohan laughed "Okay, Panny," then embraced his little girl.
They flew off back home with all of Pan's belongings in tow. As they got closer Pan saw lots of streamer and a banner at her house reading, "WELCOME BACK PANNY! WE ALL MISSED YOU! EVEN VEGETA!" She laughed fully heartly at the last part and then started to tear up as she remembered everybody; by the time they landed she was crying.
"Pan what's wrong?" Gohan inquired when he saw that she was about to fall down crying.
"I missed everybody so much and now they're throwing me a party. I didn't think they cared so much," Pan said when straightening herself out.
"Pan, we all missed you and that sign wasn't lying; Vegeta misses training with you. Something about if Kakarot wasn't here he needed the next best thing…you 'cause I'm 'too weak'," Goten rolled his eyes. "and Gohan doesn't fight anymore"
"Aww, Veggie Head does like me. I thought he hated me, like Grandpa."
"Actually, he's slowly becoming soft…he's kind of nice to everyone now" Goten said.
"Yeah, now you've given me another reason to pummel you into a pulp. So come here boy," Vegeta ordered angrily with a wave in his finger. "You," He pointed at Pan, "Your Uncle here is going to die, so say your goodbyes," Said with his smirk.
Oh so that's the look. I guess I just haven't seen it in forever. "Umm…bye Uncle Goten?" Pan waved meekly at him.
"Good, now come inside everybody is waiting and I'm hungry. The woman hasn't feed me all day."
"FOOD!" Goten and Pan yelled at once.
"I miss Grandma's cooking too much!" Pan ran inside.
As soon got inside everybody was laughing but got silent as they saw the woman in front of them; not there little Panny.
"Is something wrong?" Pan got really self cautious at all of the stares and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"No! Nothing's wrong. It's just you've grown so much!" Trunks explained for them all.
"Pan, we missed you so much! I made all your favorite foods,"Chichi beamed walking over to hug her granddaughter, "Come sit down so we can eat," and motioned for her to take a seat next to Bra.
"That's what smelled so good! Thank you Grandma. Hey Bra, I missed you" She pulled Bra into a hug. She saw the line forming in front of her so she could hug everybody.
She noticed Vegeta getting dragged into the line by Bulma. "Your Dads getting forced into the line, wanna watch?"
Bra chuckled, "Nah, i'm good I really just want food"
Pan laughed, "Okay"
"Me next!" an eager Trunks said.
"How could I not give you a hug next? After all you're next in line," Pan joked and gave him his hug. Wow that might be the best hug I've ever gotten…Wait this is Trunks! I can't be thinking about him like this.
Krillin looked up at the youngest Son "Eheh, I almost forgot how much taller than me you were; now this just isn't fair. But it is nice to see you again Pan. You know Goku would be really proud of you Pan."
"I know he would be…I still really miss him. Why did Shenrong have to take him It's Just Not FAIR! As soon as he got back in my life he takes him!" Pan said letting her anger get the best of her.
"Pan he had to go and no one know's just why but I bet he'll be back he always came back; but there's no telling when. He loved you and would never leave unless he had to."
"Yeah now" Pan said and gave Krillin a hug.
"It's nice to have you back Pan…Now Marron and Bra can go somewhere else rather than our house all the time" 18 said.
A unison "Hey" was heard behind them.
"Well we surely need to catch up, like about boys." Marron gave Pan a wink.
"Oh please. Marron I missed you and your guy obsession."
"Missed you too" she gave Pan a hug.
"Pan you've grown! I mean Wow" Yamcha exclaimed.
Bumla had noticed that Trunks tensed up as Yamcha said that. She decided it would be best to talk to Pan instead of him.
"Whoa there Yamcha, she's like 25 years way too young" Bulma leaned in closer to Pan. "Trust me don't go there you don't want to. I know from experience." Bulma whispered and pushed Yamcha out of the way to give her a hug.
"I wasn't trying anything. I was just saying that she looks really nice now…Not that you didn't before…Eheh, I'm just going to shut up and give you your hug" he gave her the hug and walked back to his seat blushing like a mad man.
Damn it Yamcha! Hitting on my- wait was I just about to call her MY Pan? I mean, afterall, she is most likely someone else's…Wait why do I care if she's with someone else? thought to himself and resized that he was blushing and started to laugh at himself.
"Are you okay, Trunks?" Marron asked.
"Yeah I'm perfectly fine"
Pan looked shocked when she saw who was next…Master Roshi The Great Pervert…If he grabs my ass ima kick his across the room.
"Eh nice to have you back Pan eheh," He got nervous when he saw Pan's death glare daring him to make a move. I better just give her a hug he gave her the hug and left.
"It's good to be back, Master Roshi" she smiled at him.
"Grandma, I missed you" she pulled her into another hug.
"I missed you too Panny!"
Pan's face went white when she saw the figure in front of her being dragged to her. "Vegeta? You know you don't have to say, "nice to see you," or, "missed you," or evemn give me a hug. I know that's how you are and I respect that."
"Oh no, he has to or his Gravity Room won't work for two months," Bulma threatened.
"Are you going MAD WOMAN! I do NOT want to hug the span of Kakarot's Span!" he yelled.
"Hey don't talk about my grandpa and dad like that! I don't care who you are Vegeta. You may be the "prince of my race", but I do not care. You do NOT talk about my grandpa and Dad like THAT!" Pan yelled at the top of her lungs.
Everybody gasped at the sound of somebody talking to Vegeta like that. The only people able to do that and live are Bulma and Bra. Especially not one of Goku's family.
"You little," Vegeta said while forming a Ki ball in his hand. "Now let's see how strong you are now. BRAT!"
As soon as he shot the ball Goten and Trunks stood in front of Pan to keep her safe and Gohan kneed Vegeta in the stomach causing him to fall on the ground and spit blood.
"When did you start to train again?" he asked Gohan while spitting on the ground, gaining a few angry looks from everybody.
"I never stopped. But two years ago is when I started intense training just incase if something like this happened today. We all know how yours and Pan's tempers can get," Gohan said with murder in his eyes. "If you try to touch my daughter again like that, I'll make sure you won't come back from Hell this. Third time's the charm."
"Gohan!" Videl yelled. "Don't talk like that!"
"Sorry, I guess my protectiveness kicked in even more now that I have my little girl again" Gohan said to Videl rubbing the back of his head, then turned back to Vegeta. "But if you EVER try to hurt her again like that meaning to...just dont."
He walked over to Pan. "Are you Okay, Sweetie?"
"Okay one- don't call me that. Two- I'm fine, I could have handled that one myself. Three- You, Goten, and Trunks made sure of that. Four- Thank you guys that was really nice, But I could have handled it myself."
"Sure you could have Pan-Chan" Trunks teased and started to run around the table as he knew he was going to get chased..
"Don't call me THAT!" Pan started to chase Trunks around the table.
"SIT DOWN!" Chi Chi yelled.
"Yes Grandma."
"Yes Chi Chi."
Pan took her seat next to Bra and Trunks. So they could keep up their fight…an eating contest.
After the meal Trunks was moping around since Pan had one the eating contest. "Aww, Trunkies don't be sad just 'cause a girl beat you."
"I'm not sad," he spat back.
"Sure you aren't." she rolled her eyes and went back to her childhood friends, Bra and Marron.
Later that night they all went outside to look at the stars and to catch up on things. Like always when all together; one thing had lead to another and fight started up.
"Uncle Goten, you can't possibly think you can beat me now, do you?" Pan taunted Goten into the fight she has been waiting for, for over three years.
"Here they go again," Chi Chi said to Bulma.
"I do think I could beat you. And I know I could win."
"Well let's find out," Pan Jumped up and punched Goten in the gut causing him to fall over.
"Okay, if that's how you want it." He flew towards her as fast as he could and started to throw punches and kicks left and right and Pan dodged all of them like childs play.
"Hey Goten, remember when I beat you in the World Martial Arts Tournament when I was three? Yeah nothing has changed." She grabbed Goten's left hand and then the right then spun him around. She grabbed his waist and flew up until she couldn't see anyone.
"Pan let go of me!" he was trying to break free of her grasp.
"That's right keep trying to get out. You and I both know you won't get out. Pan smirked. Five minutes of fighting and I already have Vegeta's smirk back. I guess that happens when you train with him since you were four. Pan thought.
"Hey, Goten you high enough?"
"Yes, now let me go!"
~Everybody watching the fight~
"OH crap, you guys I know what Pan's going to do, be prepared," Trunks warned.
"What is she going to do to Goten, Trunks?" Bra asked her big brother. She looked up at him with sad eyes.
"Okay what she's on doing do is-"
~Goten/Pan~
"Ok then here. Is. your. STOP!" she yelled as she let go of Goten and punched him on top the head to make him fall to the ground.
THUD
Goten fell to the ground hard and left a small crater where he is laying. Pan if you want it that way you're going to get it. He thought to himself.
"Hey Pan-Chan come down here I got somethin for ya," Goten yelled for his neice.
"Don't call me THAT!" She flew down as fast as she could but when she got their. There was no Goten.
"Surprise!" Goten said from behind her, then powered up to a Super Saiyan. "You asked for it!" he yelled. "KAAA-MEE-HAA-MEE!" Goten screamed at the top of his lungs.
"KAA-MEE-HAA-MEE!" Pan yelled right after him.
"HAAA"
"HAAAA"
They fought to have the upper hand when all of a sudden Pan stopped. Goten's wave was coming full force at Pan. Then it hit. The sky went black, then a bright golden glow coming from where Pan was.
