"Hey stop it! That tickles!"
"Stop what?"
"Tickling me!" she cried out in laughter.
"I don't think so!" the lavender haired boy continued laughing.

Pan woke up with sweat flowing down her face as she awoke from her dream. She uncovered herself from her bed and started over to the bathroom. "Dammit! Why can't I forget him" she said as she grabbed a wash cloth next to the sink. Running the water hot Pan soaked the cloth with the warm water and pressed it up to her face. You know you want to talk to him again. Just admit it. It wasn't even your fault he's mad. "It is my fault! It's because of me that he left and it's because of me that he shut himself from the world!" she shouted to herself responding to the voices in her head. "Why did I have to screw it up?" She walked over to the bathtub and turned on the water. The water came out with steam while Pan undressed to soak in her bath. She walked back over to the tub and turned off the water. One foot at a time she stepped in the bath and slid in the water to relax.

***FLASHBACK***

"Hey Pan over here!" a tall lavender haired boy shouted across the room as Pan entered. With the constantly moving hand in the air Pan noticed her best friend and walked over to him to take a seat. "Hey Trunks I didn't think we would have a class together." Pan said with a chuckle. "Neither did I. So how's your first day of school so far?" "Oh it's ok, but this is only first period." A sudden sound of a ruler smacking a desk roared through the class room making the students look at the front of the room. "Silence! This is not a social gathering. This is English 2 Honors and I am your teacher Mrs. Meade." She said to the class giving a glare to each and every student. Pan leans over to Trunks to whisper something to him. "What crawled up her ass and died." Trunks began to chuckle. "Excuse me young man, but did I say anything funny?"
"No."
"Then may I ask why you are laughing."
"I was..."
"Never mind that. Who were you talking to, and what is your name?"
"My name is Trunks. I was talking to Pan." "Pan come here." Slowly Pan stood up and walked to the front of the class and Meade took her outside.
"Is this all just a joke? Do you think my class is funny?"

Pan had the sudden urge to take a swing at Mrs. Meade and fly home where she can listen to her music and not have any troubles at school. "No, I just was wondering what crawled up your ass and died." The teacher grabbed Pan by the ear and took her to English 2 and asked if they had room for one more, because she didn't like smart mouths in her class. The teacher looked at Meade and then looked at Pan. "What happened this time?" "This brat was interrupting my class and I did not find it funny like she did. I cannot and will not tolerate this." "Well if you would learn how to introduce yourself better to your fucken students then maybe I would have been nicer. Damn you are an ornery bitch." Meade threw Pan into the class room and left while slamming the door behind her.

"Well I guess Pan is in trouble with the teachers again huh?" Goten said with smile. Pan chuckled when she was taking a seat next to him. "Gee how did you guess? It's not my fault I like to have fun." Pan and Goten laughed together.

***END FLASHBACK***

Pan wrapped herself in a towel to dry as she stepped out of the tub. She leaned over and pulled the drain plug so all the water can empty out. "That was relaxing. I wonder what Bra is doing. I think I'll give her a call." Pan walked over to her closet and picked out her outfit for the day. She chose the usual blue jeans, baggy t-shirt, ankle socks, and tennis. While dressing she called Bra and waited for her to pick up the phone.

Ring...ring...ring... "Hello?"
"Hi Bulma. Is Bra there?"
"She is, but she is asleep right now. May I ask who this is?"
"Bulma you know who I am."
"I know I was just teasing. Hold on let me see if I can wake her up."
"Thanks." Pan listens to Bulma as she tries to wake up Bra.
"Bra, wake up. Bra, Pan is on the phone. Dammit Bra why do you always have to fight me?" In the background Pan hears water being run into a bucket from the bathroom on the other side of the phone. A few seconds later the water stops running and Bulma yells to Trunks to get ice. "Mom is Bra not waking up again?" "No she's not." "Let me handle it." A ruffling sound came through the phone and she knew that Trunks was up to his usual tricks. If he ever knew that Bra would not wake up he would fly her out the window and set her in front of somebody's house. Last time he flew her to Goten's house and Bra was so embarrassed.
"Pan, Bra just stepped out. I think Trunks is taking her to your doorstep this time because I haven't seen him take her there in a few months." Pan cringed at the name Trunks.
"Bulma I don't think he will ever bring her here again."
"How come? Don't tell me you two are fighting."
"We are and I don't want to talk about it. Which way did Bra go?"
"Let me see. Trunks, where are you taking her this time? Oh ok. She's headed over to Uub's place."
"Ok thank you." Pan hung up the phone and walked to her front door grabbing her house keys on the way. "Where are you going?" Gohan asked. "To pick up Bra. I'll be back soon." Pan shut the door behind her and tied her hair back before she flew off to Uub's house. She kicked off the ground and headed over. The breeze hit her face as she picked up speed to grab her friend before anyone saw her.

***FLASHBACK***

It was lunch time over at Orange Star High and Pan, Trunks, Goten, Bra, and Uub are all standing in line to get their lunch. The mid October breeze was blowing a little hard making it a bit chilly to be standing outside. Goten's chi started to rise until Trunks slapped him in the head telling him to keep his chi at a normal stance.
"What was that for? That kinda hurt."
"Why the hell are you raising you chi at school? You know we aren't supposed to baka."
"But it keeps me warm, I forgot my jacket." Pan and Bra started to laugh at Goten's ignorance as he sat there rubbing his head. After a few minutes of laughing everyone sat down and began to eat their lunch. Trunks, Pan, and Bra all got chili cheese fries while Goten and Uub picked off of everyone's food. Conversations went on for a while until Pan was called over the intercom. "Pan, please come to the office. Pan, please come to the office."
"Pan, aren't you gonna go?" Bra said questioningly.
"Why should I? They didn't say it was important. Now did they? If it was they would have come to get me by now."
"Pan just go." Goten said.
"Fine."

Is Pan in trouble or is she just called there for another unimportant reason? Will Bra be embarrassed again, and what will Trunks do to his sister this time? Find out next time... in my next chapter. Please send me your comments. Thanks ^-^
