I own no dragon Ball series.

Chimerra's head was pounding. She couldn't even bring herself to open her eyes. She didn't remember last night and at the moment she could care less. She just wanted to snuggle her face into her pillow and keep on sleeping until she felt better. Then she noticed something strange. She gently rubbed her hand across her pillow. It didn't feel right. It almost felt like she was lying on top on a man's bare chest but that couldn't be right.

"Heh heh."

She snapped her eyes wide open at the sound of a man chuckling, forgetting her plan of just sleeping all day. Now she knew something was up.

She shifted her gaze upward and met the dark eyes that belonged to none other than Goku. He smiled down at her, still a little groggy from just waking up. The way she rubbed her hand across his chest tickled him awake. He let out a yawn and said sweetly "Good Morning!"

"AAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Chi practically jumped a foot in the air out of pure shock and fell right out of bed. Her sudden unexpected scream startled Goku, ridding him of any tiredness that was still in him.

"Um, are you okay?"

Chimerra backed away from him all the way to the other side of the room. Oh my God, she screeched in her head as she searched the contents of her memory for what she did last night. She couldn't have actually done anything like… Like that with Goku could she? No! She was saving herself for her wedding night!

"Listen, pal! I hope you know that if you did anything to me last night that I can press charges for Rape even if I said yes while I was drunk, because technically I wasn't in the right mindset to consent. Look it up! It's the law, and I know a jury of peers will agree with me!" She yelled as she pointed an accusatory finger at him.

"What are you talking about? All I did was sleep next to you." He spoke as he rolled out of the bed.

Chimerra looked down at her clothing. She still had it on from last night, so unless he took it off, then put it back on her she was safe.

"Don't you remember? You called me last night to pick you and take you home."

"I did?" Vague memories came back to her. She could remember going to that party to try to be the girl Ophelia wanted and drinking way too much. So it was lucky that Goku came last night. She couldn't remember all that much but she was sure that things almost got pretty bad before he showed up. She let out a sigh of relief. She was safe.

"Baby? Did I just hear you scream?"

But not safe from her mother who just called out to her from outside her door. She visibly tensed up. There was no way she could explain an adult white man. In her bedroom, let alone why all her clothes smelled of beer and puke when she was technically too young to drink. She'd be dead!

"Uh, yeah momma. I had a bad dream but I'm all right!" She called back. Praying her mother wouldn't open the door and walk in.

"Oh, is that your mother?" Goku asked with a smile. He had never met Chi's mother before. "I should introduce myself."

The very second those words escaped his mouth. Chimerra was in front of the man covering his lips with her hand to prevent him from uttering a single sound. She couldn't let her mother hear him. There was no way they could meet like this.

"Well okay baby! I'm off to work!" Her mother called out.

"Okay, have a good day! I love you, bye!" Once she heard the front door slam and was sure her mother was gone she released Goku and let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding in. That was too close of a call.

Goku, once again confused by his woman's actions blinked for a moment. "Um what happened?"

Chi slumped down on her bed in exhaustion partly because she was still reeling from last night and partly because it was just too early for all this excitement. "Oh Just another float in the parade of chaos that is my life these days."

"No I mean from last night." He had already shrugged off chi restraining him from speaking to her mother. That was just one of the strange, confusing actions that he was used to from her. What he wasn't used to was her going out and drinking to the point where she got herself into trouble. "What were you doing? Drinking all night at a down town party? That's not like you."

Chi had come to remember the other event that had taken place yesterday. Ophelia had broken up with her and she wanted so badly to get her back. "I thought I could win Ophelia back if I could show her I can be the girl of her dreams. The one who's not nagging and prude-like all the time. She always said it was a good thing to be open minded, so I thought if I could just show her I could be that girl, She'd see how far I was willing to go for her, how much I want to be with her…"

"That doesn't make much sense to me." Goku responded.

"What? You think it's a good thing to be closed minded and prudy?"

"I don't think it's a good thing or a bad thing. I think it's a you thing."

Now it was Chimerra's turn to be confused.

Goku explained. "Of coarse it's good to keep an open mind, but you just aren't comfortable trying new things all the time, so don't. If you want to change then change but don't so it for someone else. I know Ophelia had her heart in the right place, but I don't think it was her right to try and change you. When you love someone you've gotta love and accept all parts of them. And there's a big difference between accepting a person and tolerating them. You have to encourage the one you love to love themselves the way they are. The way you love them. So yeah, you have bad qualities. But they are a part of who you are, and I really, really like who you are. So I guess it is a good thing."

Goku himself probably didn't know how deep that message had hit her but it really stuck. He was right. When you love someone you have to accept all parts of them, not just tolerate them. Ophelia wasn't accepting her less than perfect characteristics and she wasn't accepting all of Ophelia either. She was right. She wasn't attracted to her body, she just was too scared to get near another man again, and it's wrong to be with her if she couldn't love all of her.

"What now?" Chi asked aloud. It was clear her relationship with Ophelia was over for good. She had no scholarship, no job, and no lover.

Goku tried to come up with an answer. "Well my advice to you would be-" He was suddenly shaken out of his thoughts by a terrible feeling that struck his core. It wasn't the first time he had this feeling but it was never a welcomed one and it always seemed to take him by surprise.

Chi could tell that something was wrong with him. He suddenly looked so anxious. It was like all the wind was knocked out of him. "What's wrong?"

"It's Pan!" He answered still looking shocked. "There's something wrong with my granddaughter! I can sense her ki getting weaker! I have to go to her!

Chi quickly went to him. "Take me with you!" She had become friends with this old woman. If she was in trouble or something, she wanted to be there for her.

Chi latched onto Goku's arm as he instantly transmission them both out of there.

Poor Goku Jr. couldn't stop crying. Chimerra did her best to try and console him and hug him, but she knew it wouldn't do much good. Pan was dead. She had massive heart attack. This was her second and unfortunately she didn't survive this one.

Poor GJ. He lived all alone with his grandmother. What was going to happen to him now, and where was Goku when they needed him most? He said something about seeing where Pan ended up and if she got there okay and then he did his teleportation thingy out of here. Chi didn't understand it but it better have been important.

Chi didn't quite get that Goku had gone to Other world to find Pan. This was her first time dying and he wanted to make sure where ever she was, she was okay. At first he was surprised to find that she did not end up in heaven, but then King Yemma directed him to the Kaio's place.

When he got there he was both relived and pleased at what he came to find. Pan was there. She was in the middle of hugging her father. She hadn't seen him for so long. Then she turned to find her grandpa Goku.

"Hey Grandpa, what do you think? I made it to the Kaio's place!" She said happily as she twirled around as if she was an excited little girl modeling a new dress.

To be honest she was pretty close to being a little girl again. Now that she was dead her wrinkles were gone and she had been reverted back to the body she used when she was a young woman, just as every warrior there had been reverted back to their prime.

"Now that I'm here, you can bet I'm gonna train again like there's no tomorrow and I'm gonna do some butt kicking just like the old days!"

"Well technically now that you're dead there really is no tomorrow." Goku replied. They all shared a laugh. In the Son family, this was death. Just another adventure; however Pan was just reminded that not everyone in the family viewed it like that.

"Oh, Goku Jr…." She remembered solemnly. "What's going to happen to him now that I'm gone?"

Goku smiled as he came up with the solution. "Hey don't you worry about a thing. I'll stay with him."

"Really dad?" Gohan asked. "But what about your training?"

"Hey I'm an immortal, remember? I've got all eternity to train with Shenron. My family needs me now. Now that Chi and I are back together, we can both stay with him and live In Pan's house together. It'll be like old times. I'll train GJ to become really strong and I promise that I'll come see you guys as often as I can to tell you about how things are going down on earth with GJ and Chi. I promise."

"Oh Grandpa." Pan gave him big thank you hug. "Please tell him I'm all right. That I'm happy here and that I'll be watching over him from this side."

"I will." He said his goodbyes to all of his family and friends and instantly transmitted himself back to the hospital where Chi and GJ were.

"GJ." Goku got down on one knee to his great, great grandson's eye level. "You're grandma's all right. She got to the Other world safely and is gonna be training with her father and uncle and friends. She's really happy where she is now but she also misses you and loves you very much."

Goku Jr. looked his great, great grandfather in his dark eyes with his own tear filled ones. "Sniff…. What am I gonna do without her?"

"Don't worry. Me and your grandma chi and gonna come stay with you in your grandma's home, and I promise anytime you need to talk to her you just tell me and I'll use instant transmission to get to her and relay the message. In the mean time do you think you can be strong? If you're good and train really hard then when the time comes you can see her again face to face."

GJ sniffed away the last of his tears and gave his grandpa Goku a big hug. "I promise I'll do my best just like she wanted me to."

"Uh, Goku?"

He looked up to see his woman with a look of restrained anger on her face.

"Can I talk to you alone, for a minute?"

Goku released GJ and followed his wife down the corridor so they could speak privately.

"I cannot believe you would put me in this spot." She said now that they were out of earshot of Goku Jr.

"What are you talking about? You're the one who wanted to go over here to talk."

"I mean what you just did out there in front of GJ!" She snapped, in no mood for his stupidity. "You told him that I was going to come live with you guys? How am I supposed to refuse that in front of a little boy who just lost his grandmother without breaking his heart further? I can't come to live with you!"

Goku was confused. He thought this was perfect. Pan's house was all paid in full there would be no mortgage. Wasn't she trying to safe money? And more than that, he thought that they were finally going to get back together. They were getting along just like they used to, she came to terms with her sexuality, and they even shared a bed last night.

"But… But I thought…"

"Look I adore GJ and I think you're…" What did she think of him? Certainly feelings had changed dramatically since they first met, but… No! Even if she did love him, moving in with him, while he just got custody of a kid? That's too much, too soon and she was all ready processing too many feelings at once already. She had to focus on one thing right now. Getting money for school!

"I- I'm just sorry. I-I need to find work. I'll take the bus home!"

She turned around and ran to the nearest exit, leaving Goku alone standing there with that feeling of stomachaches in his heart again.
