Her knuckles barely touched the pad and the numbers popped up on the screen.
"10?" Goten sweat dropped.
"How did he get here in the first place?" Gohan wondered.
"Look!" Goku said.
Pan looked at her fist and gave a yell, sending her energy through it. A quick gust of wind was felt and quick spike of power accompanied it. While it was her fist that had stayed still, her energy pushed the cushion and made the numbers to jump up. Stop there, her mind yelled and she withdrew her fist quickly, the wind dying down.
"1818." She smiled at the double number of her age.
"Not bad." The scientist in front of her complimented while more incredulous cries nearly drowned him out.
Pan smirked and gave a victory sign and began to walk away to the astonished group she was with earlier.
"Must run in the family." He added, loud enough for Pan's saiya-jin ears to pick up.
Pan gasped and turned around to look at him. He merely nodded and turned his head to watch the next fighter. Pan didn't have time to think as she was spun around and met with Goku's happy face and Gohan, Trunks, and Goten's looks of approval. As she tried to glance back at the man who was supposedly her great grandfather, she could only make the excuse, "He must be mistaken. I probably look like someone else."
~
"That was a good lunch!" Gohan said while stretching his arms.
Pan couldn't help but notice the shape of his toned biceps as he did so. Her father seemed incredibly strong.
"I think a thanks is in arrangement for getting us here earlier." Goku commented looking kindly at person in front of him who was supposedly a young boy. There was something about him that he couldn't place his finger on at the moment. But Goku could sense the kind spirit residing within the innocent boy. At the same time though, he couldn't help but feel that there was something amiss, hidden perhaps, in the dark eyes that were so similar to his.
Goten crossed his arms. "I'm not saying anything to that arrogant saiya-jin we call our prince."
Gohan smacked the back of his head. "Dad was talking about Panderu idiot."
Goten looked at Panderu and smiled sheepishly. "Forgive me. What was I thinking?"
"Nothing as usual." A voice caused Goten to nearly fall out of his seat.
"Is it me or does someone around here tend to jump into conversations that aren't his?" Goten spat, once recovering.
"How graceful of you Goten. I'm glad I don't let others catch me off guard so easily." Trunks retorted and then turned his gaze towards the twin of the girl running through his mind.
"Did you have a purpose your highness?" Gohan asked, eyes narrowing at the exchange of words.
"I would like to accompany you to see your sister."
Panderu's eyes widened and met the prince's own. He was dead serious.
Goku gave a mischievous laugh. "You're very straightforward my prince. You might as well ask for her hand in marriage right now."
Trunks blushed at the comment, which caught even Gohan by surprise. Could it be that after all the women Trunks has had his share of, this one was affecting him that much? There might be hope yet for him. Whoever the girl's parents were, they would be proud to know that their darling daughter causes widely wanted princes to blush.
"Actually, Panderu has agreed for me to meet his sister today. Isn't that right Panderu?"
Panderu confusedly looked at Goten. What was it with these people and meeting 'Pandora'? Prince Trunks had a fiancé for goodness sake! Was he interested in a girl he had only met? And Goten? Her uncle no doubt! Was he just doing this as another way to prove himself better than Trunks?
Pan shook her head and used her most boyish voice. "Look, I don't know what's so special about my sister. But if you see her before I do, just send her to my room."
With that a flush and flustered Pan excused herself from the table.
Goku raised a brow. Panderu was acting a bit weirdly.
~
"Are you still mad at me?" Pan asked curiously while walking besides the dark skinned boy. She had bumped into him right when she exited the eating area.
Uubu huffed and stuffed his hands into his pocket, not answering her.
"I said I was sorry."
"And I heard you." He looked to the side and gave a smirk. He couldn't bring himself to stay mad at her long anyway. She was just too nice, at some points in time.
"Besides, you have to admit that it was funny." She said aloud and Uubu sighed.
"You try getting ganged up on by a bunch of angry, heat stricken fighters."
"Maybe some time later. I have a busy schedule." She stated flippantly, at which her friend rolled his eyes.
"Listen Uubu." She started, not looking at him at first.
Uubu half expected her to ask him another one of her 'favors'. But the look on her face when she turned around changed his mind. They stood still in the hallway. She looked almost sad. Pan's eyes said it all. She had so much on her mind and she wanted to spill. Come on Pan, Uubu urged in his mind. Let me help you.
"Uubu?"
"Yeah Pan?"
Pan didn't know what to do. Here was someone she had only met and grown to befriend in the course of a few days. He was her only friend. He could listen to her right? She could trust him, could she not? He had no reason to turn her in if she let him in on her secret. In fact, he could help her tell her family.
"Uubu!" A friendly voice interrupted.
Uubu let out air he didn't know he was holding in. "Princess Bra!" Uubu squeaked in surprise.
Pan smirked. He had a crush on her. Now here was something she could use to tease him about later on.
"How are we on our search?"
"Search? Oh! Search! Right." He looked down, knowing very well that their target was right in front of them.
"I have something to tend to." Pan rolled her eyes at her shy friend, whom she didn't know was actually looking down for a different reason than his attraction for the intruding princess. With that she strolled away to her room. Pandora had to make an appearance anyway.
"Very well. Escort me to lunch kind sir." Bra smiled.
Uubu blushed and had no choice but to oblige. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to accompany the beautiful blue haired girl, but he was so close to getting Pan to telling him something important.

Pan jumped down from her window wearing a different shirt and having her hair down.
"Visitor's quarters are that way." She pointed to the side and began walking around the building.
"Follow her." A gruff voice ordered.
"Yes Frieza."
