They were standing in the waiting room, the junior competition is about to start.
Trunks was leaned up against a wall, arms crossed above his chest.
"So what are you guys gonna buy with the prize money?"
"I dunno, maybe toys?" Goten suggested. He looked up at his friend. He was sitting down with his legs crossed.
"Your such a toddler," Trunks scoffed.
"I'd give it to mom," Pan commented while leaned against the wall on the other side of Trunks. She sat on the ground with her back pressed against the wall, her eyes closed.
"What? Why?" Trunks questioned. His hands fell to his side as he looked at the girl. Her eyes opened to look at him with a lazy grin, her hand going to the back of her head, giving that signature Son move.
"Well, It would help her a lot, she has three Saiyans to feed, bills to pay, and maybe she could get something she wants. Plus I don't really want anything," The black hair saiyan admitted.
"What would you buy Trunks?" Goten asked.
Trunks leaned his head against the wall and shrugged, "I can't decide."
He stepped from the wall and gave Goten a look, "Maybe I'll just buy you a better-looking hair-cut."
Pan let out a giggle.
Goten looked up at Trunks, "Hair what?" He asked confused.
"Hey, half-pint! Your gonna be my first victim!" A lanky teenager with a blonde mullet walked over to the Saiyan trio. He had two 'goons' standing behind him, just as weird looking as the blonde in the middle.
"I hope you're wearing your diapers!" The Blonde laughed, throwing his head back. "You'll need the extra padding!"
The trio was unamused, both Trunks and Pan glaring at the three, while Goten just frowned at the floor.
The boy let out a grunt before throwing a punch at Trunks but stopping right before it reached him. Trunks stood unmoving, not even flinching.
"Wah? Don't you flinch?" The bully asked. Goten stood up from the floor and looked at the blonde boy confusingly. Pan trusted Trunks to handle the situation.
"Not from weaklings," Trunks said," You had best walk away," The lavender hair boy threatened.
"I'm gonna beat you so hard you'll have a concussion!" The lanky teen threatened back.
Pan stood up, "That's not very nice!"
Trunks turned to look at her then shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno seems fun," he looked back at the blonde.
"Gee..." Goten said.
"NEXT UP, TRUNKS VS. IDASA!"
"Well, I guess that's my cue, " Trunks pushed himself off the wall and began to walk towards the exit.
"Good luck!" Called out Goten waving at his turned figure.
"Don't try too hard!" Pan giggled, a knowing grin painted her face.
Trunks let out a mixture between a breath of air and a laugh, "But that's no fun!"
Pan smiled fondly. She watched as he stepped onto the arena, completely calm. The announcer yelled start and the blonde got into a ridiculous fighting stance.
'I give him ten seconds, tops.'
"How good of a fighter do you think he is?" Goten asked his twin.
"For normal standards, okay, but his stance needs work, there are too many holes," Goten nodded in agreement, "Plus he was mean."
Soon enough, Trunks swept Idasa off his feet, then kicked straight up. He turned away and began to walk back inside the waiting area.
Goten and Pan ran out to meet him.
"You sure did beat that guy fas Trunks," Goten pointed out.
The other male saiyan huffed, "You see now why I want to fight in the adult division?"
Goten nodded, "Uh huh."
"Yeah this is gonna be too easy, at least until we fight each other," Pan stated. She looked at the audience around her, so many people filled the stands, all of them watching.
"Too bad we can't turn super, our fights would be so much better."
"I know right," Trunks agreed, his scowl deepening.
"UP NEXT IS SON PAN VS. DANIEL KOSER!"
A boy wearing blue pants and a red tank top stepped onto the arena and immediately began to cry. Coming right behind him was Pan, she took a step outside the waiting area and stopped. She pulled at the blue strings of her orange gi, just to make sure they were on tight enough.
"You got this sis!" Goten shouted through the window, waving at her.
She grinned and flashed her twin a peace sign.
"Yeah come on, this is easy," Trunks voiced. She nodded her head slightly and mouthed 'I know' to him. He smirked back at her and nodded his head towards the arena.
"Hey look, it's Pan!" Krillen nudged Goku in the side. He looked up and saw his daughter and immediately grinned.
"Come on Pan!" He shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth.
"But don't try too hard, hehe," Krillen giggled.
"This is easy, she better not toy around, or she might get stupid and get out, training be damned," Vegeta growled.
"Wait, can we talk about that," Krillen asked," So you train her...and Goten?"
"No, just that brat, one spawn of Kakarot is about all I can take," The Prince hissed," besides, he and the boy go off and play together. I train Trunks later in the week."
"Ahh so it's a weekly thi-" Krillen began.
"Daily," Piccolo stated.
"Oh, well thanks Vegeta, I appreciate it!" Goku said happily.
Vegeta just scoffed and looked away.
Pan had just stepped onto the arena when she heard her name being called, she looked up to see Krillen and her dad calling her. She giggled at what Krillen said a gave them two thumbs up.
She approached her opponent and raised a brow. She walked closer, "Hey are you ok?" She asked him.
He threw a punch right for her face, but Pan caught it. She then lifted him up off the ground using only his arm, then threw him out of the ring.
"Maybe you should try fighting next time instead of crying," She smiled kindly at him as she commented. She turned around, hands going on her hips, then proceeded to walk back to the waiting area.
"FOR THE NEXT MATCH, SON GOTEN VS. IKOSA!"
Goten walked out of the waiting area nervously. He surveyed the crowd tensely, there were so many people.
"Hey, Goten it's not that bad, the people, once you start fighting it's like they're not even there," Pan assured her brother, noticing his stage-fright.
"Yeah don't be a baby, this is easy!" Trunks declared.
Pan was leaned up against the window looking out onto the arena. Her head was propped up by her hands and she was watching happily.
"Why are you even watching, you know the result?" Questioned Trunks, who was sitting on the floor.
She shrugged," Well he's my brother, and I want to see it, even if it'll be over in 10 seconds," The female saiyan explained. She turned her head back towards the ring and continued to watch.
Trunks glanced up at the girl staring at her. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion for a few seconds before his eyes widened and his eyebrows relaxed.
Pan turned to look at Trunks but saw he was already looking at her. Both of them blushed and turned away from each other.
"So uh, um, you do realize in a few rounds it'll just be the three of us? " Pan asked.
"Yeah, I wonder who's gonna fight who first," He wondered, cheeks still pink.
"Well I hope you know I'm gonna try my absolute hardest, I'm not gonna hold back because we're friends," The 7-year-old stated.
Trunks smiled, "Good, I wouldn't want it any other way, P."
"AND THE WINNER IS SON GOTEN!"
It finally came down to the top four, Goten vs. Trunks and Pan vs. Ezekial. Pan's match was first, and she won without breaking a sweat. When it came down to Goten and Trunk's fight, it was close, but Trunks won, only by turning super saiyan.
"NOW FOR OUR FINALIST, SON PAN VS. TRUNKS! BOTH FIGHTERS HAVE SHOWED REMARKABLE STRENGTH AND SKILL! WHO IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH? IT'S ANYBODY'S GAME!"
Both saiyans stepped onto the ring, Trunks still transformed. They faced each other, only ten feet apart, the arena became silent, the crowd waiting in anticipation.
"Your such a cheater Trunks! I thought we agreed not to go super?" Pan crossed her arms turned and gave him a side glance.
"Yeah, but I didn't feel like losing."
Pan's eyes narrowed in determination, "Yeah well neither do I."
She grunted and transformed, her hair began to defy gravity, only a few thick strands staying down. The roots of her hair turned golden, the color flowing all the way to her tips. Her determined brown eyes turned teal, and her power surged.
"Ready?" Trunks asked.
Pan got down into her stance, "Let's go."
Trunks and Pan broke off from their fight and landed back on the arena. Both panting heavily, their hair still golden.
"This is so much fun!" Pan stated, her shoulders straighten as she stands up straight,
"I agree, but It's time to finish this."
Trunks charges Pan, but she flies straight up into the sky where no one can see her.
"Huh? You didn't strike me as a coward Pan," Trunks shouted to the sky. He slowly started to float up, until he was about ten feet above the ground.
Suddenly Pan appeared underneath him, her hands formed in the Kamehameha stance.
"HA!" Pan released the energy blast towards Trunks, He stuck his hands out to swipe it away, but right as he did, Pan appeared.
She jumped from the ring and used her head to hit Trunks right in the jaw. Trunks was caught off guard and wasn't able to dodge or block the hit. He was sent flying backward, the shock of the hit knocking him out of the air, right into the grass outside of the arena.
"AND THE WINNER IS SON PAN WITH A RING-OUT!"
Pan panted heavily as she went to sit down on the arena. She looked up towards her family and friends and grinned at them. She waved weakly before falling on her back onto the floor of the ring.
Trunks stumbled up and climbed onto the stage and crawled up Pan.
"Fair-game Pan," He stuck his hand out, but quickly fell on his back, his injuries making him weak. He just laid there and groaned.
"Wait, hold on!" Pan got up quickly and ran into the waiting area. After a few seconds, she came running back out with something in her hand. She came next to Trunks and kneeled, before putting the small bean in her hand in his mouth.
He swallowed, then his body flinched before he sat up, energy replenished.
"Thanks, Pan, but did you really have to use your head?" Trunks complained while rubbing his jaw.
"Oh, sorry about that I just really wanted to win, " Pan scratched the back of her head.
"Yeah, that's my girl! Go, Pan!" Goku shouted.
"Yep, she's definitely your daughter Goku," Krillen muttered.
Footsteps approached the group. "Hey, Gohan your little sister won!" A female voice called. Mr. Satan's daughter stepped onto the balcony, quickly followed by Gohan.
"Alright! Who'd she fight, Goten or Trunks?" Gohan asked, standing on the other side of Krillen.
"Goten and Trunks fought, and Trunks won. Then Pan and Trunks fought and Pan won," Krillen explained.
"I knew she could do it!"
"AND IT'S NOW TIME FOR THE MATCH BETWEEN MR. SATAN AND THE JUNIOR CHAMPION!"
Pan stood in the middle of the ring waiting for Mr. Satan to make his appearance. His debut was dramatic and over the top, but it was amusing enough. Though she could practically hear Trunks roll his eyes.
"HA YOU GUYS READY FOR THE MATCH?" The crowd cheered, chanting name.
"Hey kid, you ready for the PRETEND match?" He whispered to Pan.
She raised an eyebrow, "Uh, sure, I guess," Pan agreed, extremely confused.
The fight began, and held his cheek out for Pan to punch. She shrugged and decided to go for a light punch.
Mr. Satan was sent straight into the wall and fell into the grass. The stadium went quiet, everyone was shocked that their hero was defeated so easily.
After a few more seconds, the reigning champion got up slowly and then began to laugh.
"Ha, what a punch! Well, kid, you beat me fair and square," Mr. Statn shouted before he left the arena.
"WELL YOU SAW IT HERE FOLKS, PAN BEAT THE CHAMP, how does it feel to be stronger than the champ, kid?"
"Uh, good? I guess."
"YOU HEARD HER, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR OUR JUNIOR CHAMPION!"
"Pan, has anyone ever told you that you're a cutie?"
"So your name is Son Pan? I like it!"
"Is this your first competition?"
"What's your favorite T.V. show?"
"What was it like fighting the champ?"
Trunks came beside her, "You can ask him, he's right there."
Both Saiyans made a run for it.
"Goten!" All three of them ran through the room and jumped out the window. They landed on the ground with a small thud.
"Ugh, reporters, they're just rude people," Trunks complained.
Pan sighed, "Thanks Trunks, that was crazy," Pan stated.
Goten nodded his head, "Yeah, hey, don't forget your promise, you got to give me three of your toys!"
"Yes I do, but we have more important things to talk about," A mischievous grin came onto his face. "Wouldn't it be cool to fight in the big championships?"
"But that's against the rules," Goten pointed out.
"If we can find a way to fight with the adults, I'm in!" An excited smile lit up her face.
"I have an idea."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
