Author's Note: So here's the continuation to my story. I don't know if this is considered the epilogue's epilogue of chapter 1 so ... I'll leave that up to you.

As far as ages go in the beginning Trunks 25, Pan 20, Marron25, Bra 21 Casey 1. I'll introduce more ages as more characters are played into the story. Thanks!

Thoughts, mostly Pan's in this chapter, with a little of Marron's

Behind Light, there is always Darkness:

Forgive me I have not formally introduced myself, I am Son Pan. I used to be known as Mrs. Briefs as well but in the event of my death, not even a year after to be more specific another woman took up that name. This other woman was Marron. It seems that my once best friend wasted little time after I fell into a comma to start seducing my husband. I always thought that I could trust her, she was like a sister to me, next to Bra of course. So you must imagine the shock I went through when I found that the one I considered so dear was the one that wanted me dead.

Flash Back:

" ...Trunks I just think it would be better for everyone if you let her go," Marron stated with fake sincerity.

"Marron you don't understand... I love her, I can't just give up on her just like that, she's my sun, my world, my heart, my..."

" I get the picture!" Marron replied, all traces of sincerity erased. "But think about all the pain she's probably going through, if not for everyone else do it for her."

" I am thinking of her!," Trunks replied in a heated tone.

" Look I did not start this conversation to get you upset. I'm just saying if you love something you should let it go..."

" Don't give me that crap, you've wanted her out of the picture since before her comma all so you could have me to yourself!"

" That may be true in a way but I would never wish her into a comma! It is true that I want you to myself, and that I feel that Casey should have been my little girl but I have reason to believe that taking Pan off of life support is for the best."

" And what is the reason Marron?" Trunks stated, disdain evident in his voice.

" She does not want to be saved. She doesn't want to wake up from the darkness that consumes her. She..."

" How dare you say that about her, Pan is a fighter and she'll get through this just like she's gotten through everything else in life! She's a saiyan"

" You're right she is a saiyan and a saiyan always fights, but she isn't Trunks! Answer me this has she made any progress from the day she fell into a comma up until now?"

Trunks screwed up his face as he thought this through. "What's your point."

" What's my point! My point is...well for a lack of better words my point is Trunks, Pan doesn't love you or your little girl if she did she would have come out of that comma a long time ago so that she could raise her child but she hasn't! Were ever she is she's happy there and I feel that sitting here holding on to a lost dream is hopeless. Your little girl needs her daddy, and I mean all of you not half of you while the other half of you sits here and rots by Pan's bedside. It's time to let go"

" Maybe... you're right. Maybe Pan doesn't want to come out of her comma, maybe things are better like this. I surely would not want to sit around wasting my time moping around for someone that doesn't even love me enough to come back to me. Maybe I should let her go!"

That's right Trunks, let your sweet, honest Pan-chan go, so that I may come and be like your angel in these times of darkness!

No! Please Trunks don't listen to her I love you and our daughter! Please don't give up on me, on us have faith in our love. I need you! Don't do this!

"I'll make the arrangements so that Pan will be taken off of life support tomorrow," Trunks stated with cold resolve.

Tomorrow may be to late! "No!... I mean no, Trunks, do it today. You have power, surely her doctor will rush the paper work if you insist upon it! We must do it today or else Gohan or somebody else will intervene. Surely you don't want her to suffer any longer then she has to and I know that you just want to get this whole thing over with..."

Trunks looked as if he was not sure what to do and Marron added with malice, " Be a man Trunks, why hold on to someone who has obviously already let YOU go!"

At this statement Trunks jumped up from the chair that he sat in, next to Pan's bed and turn towards Marron. A look of icy resolve crossed his face as he said, " I will go and do what has to be done," With that he stormed out of the room, and out of Pan's life or half life forever.

Trunks, no don't leave me, please don't leave me I need you!

Marron looked on at the comatose Pan with a look of sheer satisfaction upon her face. Her plan was finally paying off. With Pan out of the way she could become Mrs. Briefs, wife of Trunks and mother to Casey. They would grow old together, and have many more children to boot. She would be the receiver of all Trunks' love and affection and Casey's. She would make sure that nobody would get in her way now, because she had conquered her biggest obstacle already; Son Pan.

End Flash Back:

When I think back on that day it makes me angry to think that the man I loved would believe a gold-digging two-bit hooker like Marron. Trunks practically ran to find my doctor and start the paper work so that I could be taken off of LS that night. The bastard never even came to say goodbye, but Marron did. And she made it very clear that she was Trunks' new wife and Casey's new mommy. I knew then that my one purpose in life, or rather in death would be to get back to my daughter, she was my light amongst all the darkness and as I felt my life slipping away all I could think of was that I never got a chance to even see her. I never got a chance to smell her baby soft hair, feel her rosy red cheeks, or stare into her azure blue eyes.

There were times when Trunks would stay up all night talking to me about Casey, that's how I knew, or rather imagined what she looked like. He refused to bring her however and I was very upset to find that it was once again Marron who was behind the whole ordeal. When Trunks had decided that he was going to finally bring Casey to see me she cut the plan short by stating, " The hospital is not the place for a baby, and besides what good would it do her, seeing her mother in such a state," What BS! She just wanted to ensure that my child and I never got a chance to know one another.

I can't help but to think that maybe, just maybe if I could have just heard her laugh or touched her hand, then maybe I would've woken up. But that's in the past now, 15 years in the past to be exact.

For the past 15 years I've been hanging out with the Grand Kai, waiting. Waiting for an opportunity to come back from the dead but no opportunity seems to have turned up. I know what you're thinking, " Why don't you just have your dad or someone wish you back?" and the answer is that they have tried. It seems that around the time that I passed away someone collected the dragon balls and wished that I couldn't be brought back.

There is an upside to all this, however, I get to see my grandpa Goku everyday! When I first got to the upper world and he greeted me at the gates of heaven I was so pleased. He's been my rock since that day, just like when we went out to space for that year with Trunks.

Trunks, I think about him often. At first I was upset and I swore to myself that I hated the man I once adored with all my heart and soul. It took me several years to realize that hating him was not getting me anywhere and it seemed that perhaps I should take pity on Trunks for being so weak minded.

He doesn't and hasn't been raising our daughter right. She's sixteen now and I am worried to death that if she were to die tomorrow she'd be going straight to HFIL. I need to get to her, to help her. Her father is so wrapped up in his company, that he doesn't see that our daughter is going down a path that it is hard to return from. Marron doesn't care either, she's to wrapped up in her little girl to care anything about mine...

"Pan,"

" Yes Grand Kai," Pan answered, still in a dazed state.

" It is time," came Grand Kai's voice to her ears.

At this point Pan sat there staring at the Grand Kai as if he had three heads. She was so confused, and still in the middle of her day dream when she gained enough sense to ask, "Time for what?"

"... Why, my dear it's time for you to go home"

So this is the prologue's prologue, I've finally decided. So the next chapter will probably be up in a couple of days. Feel free to REVIEW and I might be motivated to finish it even early. Hoped you liked it, and I promise the story will be a lot deeper as we meet Trunks, Marron, and the 'bad' seed Casey! I wonder what she's been doing that could get her into HFIL? Stay tuned to find out! Peace.
