Chapter Three
Author's Note: Hey everyone. Next chapter will encompass the remaining week until Pan and Bra come out of the room but this chapter was necessary so please r/r.
"Pan?" said Videl as she stepped into the house.
"She's not here." Said Chichi stepping out of the kitchen.
"Then where is she ?" asked Videl, not entirely sure she wanted to know the answer.
"She went to the Room of Spirit and Time."
"Why am I not surprised?" asked Videl as she fell into a chair.
Chichi sighed. "You know that they need to make their own decisions." Said Chichi.
"But what if they make the wrong ones?" asked Videl, feeling very helpless.
"Well, then we're here to help them through it and to encourage them to make the right ones."
"You know that sounds like some cheesy parenting book." Said Videl while rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, I know." Chichi replied. They both started laughing, both secretly wondering what fate had in store for the girls.
'Its so bare' thought Bra and Pan simultaneously. The room was devoid of all color and the living area consisted of two rooms with a small kitchen.
The door had been shut and there was no way out now.
Pan sighted then said, "Well we should get started."
Bra nodded then made her way to one of the rooms. When she opened the door she saw a small bed with a surprisingly big dresser. There was also a connecting door so a small bathroom. She quickly unpacked and but on navy blue shorts with a matching shirt. She walked outside to see Pan running through a series of complicated punches.
Upon seeing Bra, Pan dropped into a fighting stance and waited until Bra did the same. Without warning, Pan quickly started her assault. (ok, I know I'm bad at writing fight scenes but please bear with me)
Bra blocked her fairly well, and quickly delivered a series of kicks to Pan's stomach.
Though the beating would have killed a human, Pan only settled into a defensive stance and smiled.
Bra smiled back and the girls continued their spar.
"She's where!" yelled a very confused Gohan.
"Gohan calm down. As I said before, Pan and Bra wanted to train and get stronger so there is nothing we can do." said Videl.
Chichi, Bulma, and Videl had agreed to keep the real purpose behind the girl's decision a secret for the protection of Goten and Trunks.
"I don't see what everyone is so worried about. When Bra was about to leave, I stopped her, but let her go once she told me the story." said Vegeta. Not knowing that his daughter had only told him half of the truth.
Bulma could only stare unbelievingly at her husband.
"What? Kakkarot did the same thing with Pan." said Vegeta. Unnerved by his wife's stare.
Goten and Trunks had been very quiet during all of this but when they heard this they suddenly came back to life.
"You could've stopped them! Why didn't you?" demanded Goten. He looked as if he was debating on whether to attack Vegeta or not.
"Yeah, what if something happens to them? We won't be able to help them! You're their fathers!" Trunks said, staring at Gohan and Vegeta. "Why are we the ones that have to remind you!" shouted Trunks. Unlike Goten, Trunks had no reservations and punched Gohan in the face.
Gohan saw the change in Goten and Trunks. He had an idea of why the boys were so agitated and he didn't blame Trunks for punching him. All he said was, "Go to the lookout and see them when they come out. Got it?"
While giving them all death glares Goten and Trunks flew to the lookout.
"Gohan are you ok?" asked a worried Videl.
"I'm fine, but when did Trunks and Goten start being protective of Pan and Bra?" Gohan asked.
"Oh…um…" said Videl and Bulma nervously. They knew how Vegeta if not Gohan would react to the truth.
Chichi sighed, "My goodness it's so obvious." She stopped talking when she saw the looks she was getting from Videl and Bulma.
"For once the harpy is right." Said Vegeta. "Unfortunately they've started to form a bond."
"WHAT!" shouted Gohan. He unconsciously powered up to SS2 from sheer rage.
Chichi, Bulma, and Videl all hit him on the head with frying pans supplied by Chichi.
"Ow!" yelled Gohan as he fell to the ground writhing in pain. He powered down.
"You will not do anything to those boys or else." said Videl threateningly.
"Or else what?" Gohan asked warily. He seldom saw his wife this angry.
"You get the couch." Videl stated simply. Chichi and Bulma laughed as they remembered all the times they had threatened their husbands with the same thing.
The Lookout
Trunks and Goten quickly landed and were met by Dende.
"Hey Dende. Is it ok if we hang out here until Bra and Pan come out?" asked Trunks.
"Of course. I saw you coming and had Mr. Popo prepare dinner." Replied the young guardian of the Earth.
Goten quickly went to eat while an amused Trunks and Dende followed.
Authors Note: Thank you all who have been reading this! Reviewers are so nice, Thank You. Sorry it took a while but hopefully the chapter made up for it. No flames yet (she cautiously puts down the fire extinguisher)
