Melting Ice

Prologue – Farewells

There was a small girl's trembling body on the bed. Her arms wrapped around her frail body, not bothered one bit by the soft chill in the room...

Small sobs were echoing from the girl's room. The door locked, the room dark, except for the small moonlight pathway, which glimmered down on the girl. It was a full moon that night, a calm and special one, apart from the fact that something shocking happened that day. Sadness was everywhere; all witnesses of the event were grieved. Especially this small girl. It was hard for her because today, she lost someone that she loved dearly...her beloved Grandfather, Goku.

Goku was gone, not somewhere in heaven, but gone. Completely.

He merged with the DragonBalls to save the world from further destruction and evil, to protect the world and it's people. He did it to make the DragonBalls pure. Never to turn evil, it would remain forever good.

The small child clutched onto her sheets and her breathing grew softer and softer. It pained her deeply. Her friend, her idol, her grandfather...no longer there to comfort her or to cheer her up. No longer there to help console her, no longer there to reach out and ruffle her hair, no longer there for her to love anymore...

No longer there with her......

She wiped her tears away and pulled something out from under her pillow, her comfort for the night.

Looking down at the object, more tears spilled down. Cascading down her cheeks ever so slowly, each was a memory of Goku. Happy memories, with each drop, slipping away from her...but no! What was she thinking?! She was not going to allow this; she will always remember him in her heart. The memories of him will never be forgotten...and yet, somehow she felt as if they had slipped away from her grasp.

The object that was held in her hands started to shine slightly from the full moon's light, the small glint caught her attention. Returning her gaze to the object, she caressed it. The light emitting from the moon showed that the object in the girl's grasp was a photo. A group picture, with her family and friends. In the middle stood Goku, tall, with the usual goofy smile on his face. Sitting on his shoulders was herself, smiling brightly, content on her grandfather's shoulders. The girl smiled sadly touching the tip of her grandfather's smile.

The picture was taken a few days ago...before he was gone from her forever. She took hold of her pillow and picture, clutching them both against her chest, re-viewing the painful memory of her grandfather's departure...

---o---

There was a flash of bright light as the sky turned dark and somber. The dragonballs were glowing. A green form took its place in the sky. Everyone gathered around the illuminating balls as a humongous dragon looked down upon them.

Goku stepped forward before the God-like creature as it asked the reason why it was being disturbed from its slumber. Goku smiled apologetically at the Dragon and answered in a loud shout,

"Shenron! We need you to grant us a wish!"

The dragon, Shenron stared down at him and replied, in his booming voice,

"You may tell me your wish."

"I wish forever more to merge with the Dragonballs and let them remain good so no evil may harm earth again!"

There was a moment of silence as Shenron seemed to be pondering over Goku's words. Sobs were heard from Chi-Chi and the other women in the background, as the dragon began to speak again.

"...Your wish has been -"

"WAIT!" a shout came from the crowd. All heads turned towards the being as a blur passed them with lightning speed.

A small girl rushed up to Goku and jumped on him, wrapping her small arms around his neck. Tears were spilling from her chocolate brown eyes as she shouted pleadingly,

"Please Grandpa! There has to be another way, please don't leave me!"

Goku smiled sadly at granddaughter, he slowly unwrapped her grip from his neck and gently posed her down on her feet. "I'm sorry Panny, I have to do this, please understand-"

"No! There has to be another way! Please don't do this!" She cut him off, screaming, as she shook her head, tears still spilling down. Everything was just so wrong. She was in complete despair. How could this be right?! She just couldn't understand.

"Panny, listen to me, there is no other way. Please be strong for me, I wouldn't want you sad. I'm doing this because I want to, no one's forcing me, I'm doing this to protect you and everyone else, to make you guys happy...to make me happy. So can you please stay strong for me, please Panny?"

Pan stared at her grandfather and slowly realized that there was nothing she could do anymore, she couldn't possibly stop him, so she forced a smile and nodded. She knew she was lying through her teeth to accept her grandfather's departure, but what could she do? He had his mind set for this already, it all seemed hopeless to her...

"Thank you, remember I'll always be in here." Goku said smiling softly, he took her hand and placed in on her heart.

"I will always love you Panny and everyone else. Good-bye Pan." Goku said giving her one last hug as he turned towards the eternal dragon.

"Please grant my wish Shenron."

"...You wish has been granted..." Shenron said as he disappeared into the dragonballs again. Then, a bright light surrounded Goku as he was lifted into the air. He waved one final wave and with one final smile, he disappeared into the dragonballs.

As the sky turned back to it's normal light blue hue, the saddened moment finally hit everyone hard. As everyone started giving hugs to each other, and tears were starting to spill. Pan ran up to the dragonballs and stared at them sadly. She gazed up into the sky and whispered,

"I will always love you too Grandpa...good-bye..." Pan spoke those words softly and she closed her eyes as the tears started streaming down. She collapsed onto her knees and kept on crying till she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder. It was Bulma. And soon, everyone else gathered around the small girl.

Bulma smiled sadly and picked up the four-star dragonball, she handed it to Pan and said, "I think you should keep this Pan...I know Goku would want you too..."

Pan took the ball smiling gratefully up at the aqua haired woman. "Thanks..." She said as she took the golden ball and hugged it closely to her. As she did so, she cried and suddenly, her world turned dark......

---o---

"Please come back Grandpa...please..." She sobbed as she gripped onto the picture. Her sobs soon faded away, as she cried herself to sleep.

But before she closed her eyes and surrendered herself to her slumber, she whispered some last words, "...I miss you already..."

A/N: Oh Poor Pan! I feel sorry for her, don't you? =( How did you guys like it by the way? Good or Bad. I'll update soon! Pleaz review! Gotta run! Bies!
