All Grown Up

Chapter 1

Tired Of Being Small

"Why can't I come!!!" pan was sick and tired of never being allowed to spar or go into battle with the others because she was too young.

" Because you're too young sweetie and you might get hurt," Her father replied, She hated nothing more than when her father treated her like a child.

"But dad! I'm 11 years old! You were YOUNGER than me when you started training!" Pan felt proud of herself, because she had made a valid point.

"Yes Pan I know that, but that was different," Gohan replied trying to get his daughter to stay home.

"Argh! FINE! But I'm NOT staying home, I'm going to Bra's!" Pan said as she flew off out of her bedroom window.

Gohan sighed, "What am I going to do with that girl?" he asked himself as he too flew off to meet the others.

When pan entered the briefs residence she was greeted by Bra's grandmother, "hello Mrs. Briefs, is bra here?"

Mrs. Briefs smiled and ushered her inside, "Come in, come in, she's just up in her room. Bra! You have a visitor dear."

Pan heard what sounded like a struggle upstairs and bra came screaming down the stairs and stops inches from her face. "Hey Pan, what's up?" bra said looking at Pan, who was on the floor.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you, without you trying to run me over if that's ok!" Pan said rising from the ground.

"Oh ok, come up to my room and we'll talk," Bra lead the way up to her room with pan mumbling behind her, bra couldn't help but giggle.

"What are you laughing at bra?" pan asked as they entered bra's room, it wasn't your average room either, there were computer parts and game stations everywhere.

"Oh nothing, it's just that you just reminded me of my dad, he always grumbles when he follows my mother around." Bra said flopping onto her bed, "So what's up? What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, it's about the way that we get treated by the guys," Pan said taking a seat next to bra

Bra was taken back by Pans remark, "the way the guys treat us! What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, that they won't let us go and train with them, that they won't let us fight. I mean come on, my dad started his training when he way YOUNGER than me for kami's sake!" pan yelled, she was so angry that she had gotten up and started to pace the room.

Bra giggled, "Is that all you're worried about? Pan, I go off and train when my father thinks I'm at one of my various weekend classes." Pan stood in shock staring at her friend.

"You mean you go off without your father permission and train! Who do you spar with?" pan jumped onto the bed and looked at bra as if she was the newest fighting technique.

"Well… no one, I train by myself and no one can sense my power level where I go because of this new energy field that I designed."

Pan sighed, "But no matter how powerful we get, they still wont let us fight because were too young. If you ask me it's because were females."

At that moment Pan was struck with an idea, "But they can't stop us if were not kids anymore now can they!" Bra looked at Pan as if she were crazy.

"Ahhh…. And how do you suppose we do that, I mean it's not like we can grow up in a week now is it!" Bra sighed and flopped back on her bed.

"Actually yes we can. I know of a way." As soon as Pan had said those words Bra was up in a flash and in her face.

"HOW! Tell me, I want to know! If there is any way to grow up faster without using the dragon balls tell me!" Bra was nearly in hysterics.

"Ok, ok I'll tell you… have you been up to Kami's look out?"

"Yeah why?"

"Well, I was talking to Dende one day and he told me something very interesting about one of their rooms."

"What! Tell me!"

"Well the room is called the hyperbolic time chamber, and from what I've been told one day out here is equal to one year in there, so we can grow physically, mentally and power wise tremendously in one week. We go in eleven year old children, we come out eighteen year old warriors."

Bra was so excited that she nearly blew up her favorite stuffed bear that she was holding, she was up in a flash and packed all she thought she would need.

"Whoa, wait a minute Bra, we have to come up with something to tell our parents AND we have to get permission off of Dende to use the chamber." Pan grabbed Bra's hand and dragged her down stairs.

"Um, Mrs. Briefs, Bra and I have a little trip we want to make and seeing as though it's summer break. Can Bra come please."

Bulma looked at the girls and smiled, "How long will you be gone for?"

"About a week and a half"

"Ok, but no longer, your father is going to flip when I tell him, but he can't control everything like he wants. Have fun girls."

"We will" they said in unison and ran up to finish packing Bra's things that she would need, When they had finished they put it all in a capsule and flew off to Pan's house.

"Mum, I'm home!" Pan called out as she walked in.

"Oh hey honey, I'm in the lounge room." Came the reply

They walked into the lounge room to see Videl immersed into some paperwork.

"Now the perfect opportunity" Pan whispered to Bra, "mum, I was wondering if I could go on a trip with Bra for around a week and a half… please say I can go, please!" Pan pleaded with her mother.

"Well, if you clean your room and don't get in trouble you can go." Videl said looking up, she smiled at the dumbfound look on her daughters face.

"Well are you just going to stand there or are you going to pack?" Videl said with a grin.

Without a second word Bra and Pan had finished packing Pan's belongings that she would need and said a quick goodbye to her mother and they were off to Kami's look out.

Dende was talking to Mr. Popo when they arrived, "Oh, hey girls what can I do for you?"

Pan and Bra exchanged glances and grins which made Dende uncomfortable, "Ok what are you two up to now?"

"Well we were wondering if you wanted to help us with something, it's been Okayed by our parents, but all we need is your ok to do it." Pan said walking up to him.

"To do what? Why do you need my help? And what did your parents agree to let you do?" Dende said slightly out of breath.

"Well to put it all in a nutshell, my mum and Bra's mum said that we could go on a trip for a week and a half and the reason we need your help is because we want to use the hyperbolic time chamber." Pan was painting because that was a lot to get out in one breath.

"Wait a minute! You told me that you had your parent's permission and why do you think I'm going to let you use the chamber, that's for training only!" Dende said crossing his arms.

"But Dende, it is for training. Bra and I are sick and tired of being left on the sidelines. We want to fight with them, but they think we're too weak to fight. We want to spend seven days in the chamber to build up our strength, and we're not going to tell them who were are when we first get out, because we want to teach them a lesson about not judging a book by it's cover. So can you please help us?" Pan pleaded with Dende and waited for his response, but it wasn't what she had expected.

"Ok"

Pan and Bra face vaulted "WHAT!"

"I said ok, hey I think it would be fun. Can you imagine the look on Goku's face when he gets beaten by a so-called 'stranger' only to find out it's his own granddaughter." Dende said shrugging his shoulders.

"Oooook. THAT I didn't expect." Bra said looking at the grinning Nemekian.

"Well come on let's go!" Pan said grabbing onto Bra's shirt, "Thanks Dende, see you in seven years" Pan said waving back to Dende.

"Have fun!" Dende said waving back, he sighed and said to himself; "I am so dead when Vegeta finds out."

Pan and Bra enter the chamber, and begin a journey that would change their lives forever.

Ok this is the first chapter, in the next chapter we find out how the fathers react, and how the girls are doing in the chamber.

Ohhhhh I can see it now, this is going to be fun . This is my first DBZ fanfic and it's going to be two main romances… Pan/Trunks…. Bra/Goten.

Well I hope to hear from you all soon.

Till then………………. Toodles ………………………..
