Chapter 37- Left Behind

*THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOKU, TRUNKS, AND PAN LEAVE FOR THE GRAND TOUR.*

There was a loud blast from the ship as smoke covered everything. Bra grabbed ahold of Vegeta's arm as he grabbed on to the rail so they wouldn't be blasted off. Everyone else was covering their eyes and mouth to stop the smoke. When everything was finally cleared the ship was gone.

Goten forgetting his phone call dropped his cell phone without realizing it. "They left with-out me?!" He asked shocked.

"What?! You're not on the ship!" ChiChi cried shocked.

"NO, NO, NO!" Bulma screamed as she rubbed her temples.

Bra jumped down from her spot on the second floor of the lab, Vegeta right behind her. "What's wrong Momma?" Bra asked Bulma.

"Pan," was all Bulma was able to get out.

"What about Pan?!" ChiChi asked looking around frantically as she searched for her daughter. "Where is she? Wasn't she with you, Bra?" ChiChi asked her.

"She was, but then she came down here to say goodbye to the boys," Bra told her.

"Woman," Vegeta told Bulma softly. "What's wrong?"

"Pan was on the ship! Something must have happened! A button or something must have gotten pushed!"

"WHAT?!" ChiChi shrieked, "My baby... My baby girl is out in space?" She asked as tears were falling down her face.

"I'm so sorry," Bulma told ChiChi, tears in her own eyes as well. She was the one who asked Pan to go on the ship on the first place.

Everyone was in a silent shock. Now not only was Goku and Trunks gone, but Pan was as well. Bra started crying softly as Vegeta held her. She was going to miss her best friend. A year wouldn't be the same with out her.

Bulma felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to see ChiChi's tear streaked face. "It's okay," she told her friend. "I know it wasn't your fault."

"Don't worry about them," Vegeta said. "They have Kakarrot with them. Plus Pan is strong, she'll be just fine."

"Plus Trunks and Goku would never let anything happen to her," Bra sniffed.

ChiChi smiled slightly she was going to miss her daughter, but she knew she was in good hands.

OCTOBER

Months went by and it was now October and ChiChi was feeling down in the dumps. It was Pan's birthday and she wasn't there. It would be the first time she would not see Pan on her birthday.

"Mom?" Goten said walking into the kitchen and seeing ChiChi sitting on the couch staring out in space.

"Oh hi honey," she said looking up sadly.

Goten knowing that his mother was thinking about Pan sat down beside her. "I miss her too," he told his mother. It was true, he really did miss his little sister.

They sat in silence for a while and Gohan came over he saw them. He was going to ask something but when he saw ChiChi and Goten, he went over and sat on the other side of his mom.

"Whatever would I do without my boys?" ChiChi asked patting both of their arms.

"I miss shorty," Gohan said, calling Pan a nickname that she only allowed Goten and him to call her.

"Yeah things are too quite around here," Goten said.

ChiChi sniffed a little, "Todays her birthday, she's 14 now somewhere out in space."

"I forgot, it's Halloween," Gohan said.

"She normally runs around everywhere telling everyone it's her birthday and happy Halloween."

"Well I hope she's having a good one," Goten said.

"I'm sure she is..." ChiChi said. "She's is spending it with Trunks and your father after all."

"Yeah it will be her first birthday with dad in years," Gohan said.

"Man all this talking about birthdays is making me think of birthday cakes," Goten said rubbing his stomach.

"Come on you two," ChiChi said getting up. "Let's make a cake for Pan. Even though she's not here, it will be like she is."

"CAKE!" Goten said happily following his mother and brother into the kitchen.

CHRISTMAS

"Hey everyone!" Goten shouted for the rest of his family as they entered Capsule Corp on Christmas eve. Normally Pan shouted it with him, but he was still on the Grand Tour.

"Hey... wait a minute..." Krillin said looking around. "I thought you were suppose to go with Goku and Trunks in space?"

"Yeah and where's Pan?" Yamcha asked looking around.

Everyone that knew didn't know what to say, so Vegeta spoke up "Pan was accidentally on the ship with Trunks and Kakarrot when the ship went off."

Krillins, Eighteens, Marrons, Picclos, and the rest of the Z-Fighter's eyes widened. After that it was silent.

"Things just aren't the same without Trunks and Pan... Like how they would get their arguments and chase each other around," Bra said smiling at an old memory.

"Yeah or how they would always play pranks on everyone, and get us in trouble with them," Goten told Bra as slung an arm around her shoulders with a smile. He didn't see her eyes widened or the slight blush that lit her cheeks.

"I can't tell you how many times I've yelled at you four, mainly Trunks and Pan to stop bothering me with pranks," Bulma said. "I know Trunks and Pan aren't here, and now that Goku's back he's not here either, but we haven't had a cook- out since they left. I say we keep the tradition going, Pan and Trunks would want us too," she said.
Everyone agreed and it was settled, the regular 3rd saturday cookout's were on again!

FEBRUARY

It was the 3rd Saturday of the month and everybody was over at Capsule Corp minus Goku, Trunks, and Pan.

Everyone was just lounging around in the living room it was to cold to go out for any of them. Chi-Chi, Bulma, Eighteen, and Videl all sat on a couch together talking about anything. Master Roshi, Tein, Krillin, and Hercule were all playing poker. Vegeta, Gohan, and Picclo were talking to each other a little ways off. It left Goten, Bra, and Marron on the floor together. They were slightly bumbed, as much as they hated to admit it Trunks and Pan were probably the life of the party to them. They were the ones wit hall the crazy ideas.

"How many dragon balls do you think they've got?" Bra asked Goten and Marron.

"I don't know i'd say around 5 maybe," Marron said.

"What, no way! I bet they have all 7!" Goten said.

"No they probably have 4," said Bra.

"Ha you're on! When they come back we'll ask them how many they had in February!" Goten said.

"How much are we betting?" Bra asked.

"I'm not getting in this!" Marron sais leaning back, she knew how wild Saiyan bets could get.

"Ice-cream," Goten told Bra making her roll her eyes.

"Okay," Bra said shaking his hand.

Even if it was only ice-cream at least she would be with Goten. Suddenly there was an eerie feeling in the room. Everyone sensed it- it felt like when Goku did instant transmission. Out of nowhere Trunks landed in the middle of the room, carrying Pan on his back. ChiChi and Bulma gasped really loud and sat there in shock.

"T-Trunks? Pan?" Bra asked speaking up for everyone.

"Hey everybody... just wanted to stop by and say hi and let you know were doing fine," said Trunks smiling.

"Yeah we miss you guys, but ee only have 3 more dragon balls left! Then we'll be home!" Pan said happily.

"Did you just instant transmission?" Krillin asked, it was what everyone was thinking.

"Yep Goku is teaching me, but to prove that we was here, i'll be taking these please," Trunks said taking Master Roshi's glasses and putting them on.

"Ready Panna?" Trunks asked Pan.

"Yep!" She replied holding on to him tighter.

"See you guys in a few months!" Trunks said. He took a deep breath and right before they vanished Pan stole Buu's candy bar.

"Wait!" ChiChi and Bulma yelled a little to late.

"Why do they always take my glasses?" Master Roshi muttered.

"They grew up so fast..." ChiChi sniffed.

Bra smiled, "Did you see how long Pan's hair was? Past her shoulder blades; she should keep it like that it's pretty. Trunks' hair was longer than normal too, I liked it."

"I can't believe Kakarrot taught him instant transmission," muttered Vegeta crossing his arms.

"Well I imagine Goku probably can't do it because he's a kid. And they probably needed it to get out of anymore dangerous situations," said Piccolo.

"What do you mean anymore?" Gohan asked.

Piccolo huffed as he continued: "While you all were staring at Trunks and Pan at how much they changed did you not notice the dark circles under Pan's eyes? Or the newly healed scar on Trunks arm? They had bruises all over them, I imagine they've went through hell to get the black star balls they have."

Everyone eyes widened but Vegetas. He noticed it; of course he did. He had to check them over to see if they've had still been working out. He was very pleased with the results, and although he didn't show it he was very proud of his son for learning instant transmission.

"I didn't even notice," Gohan said.

"Well they look okay now and that's all that matters. Plus with Trunks knowing I.T. it shouldn't be a problem for them to get the rest of the dragon balls," ChiChi said.

Bulma smiled, "Then they'll be home! I can't wait, i'm going to throw them a huge welcome home party!" Everyone smiled and carried on what they were doing before.

"Hey Goten remember what they said? Only 3 more dragon balls left, that means they only have 4! You own my ice cream!" Bra told Goten. His eyes widened and he groaned, but he couldn't keep the smile off his face.

APRIL

"I can't believe you got every flavor," Bra told Goten as they walked out of the ice-cream shop. "You know what, on second thought I can," she said licking her two scope mint and chocolate cone.

"I couldn't decide... they all looked so good!" Goten said happily looking at his 14 scope all flavor cone.

They walked as they ate, and it was nice just walking and hanging out- only the two of them. They weren't as close as Trunks and Pan but they were still very close. "Hey do you think Paris would like this?" Goten asked.

Bra's smile faded slightly, Paris was Gotens girlfriend. For some reason Bra has started feeling jealous of Paris ever since her 14th birthday in December when her feelings for Goten had changed. "Yeah i'm sure she would love it," Bra said only wanting to make Goten happy.

"Hey why the sad face?" He asked making her eyes wide. "Oh I know you miss Pan and Trunks."

"Yeah," Bra said playing along. "School is so boring without Pan, I miss going shopping with her and all that. I even miss Trunks, even though we fought a lot."

"Yeah Pan and I fought too, nothing serious though, but I guess you already know that." Bra laughed and nodded, Goten and Pan had some of the most funniest sibling fights.

"So hows the dojo?"

"Great," Goten said smiling. "I'm Mr. Satan's top disciple as he calls it."

"Desciple?" Bra asked raising an eyebrow. "Wow that man hasn't changed at all has he?"

"Nah, I don't think he ever will."

"Hey Goten?" Bra asked when they fell into a peaceful walk after eating.

"Mm?"

"Thanks for the ice-cream."

Goten smiled and grabbed Bras hand, "Wasn't a problem at all." He had always enjoyed spending time with her, but lately he had been wanting to spend more and more time with her.

JUNE

"No you lick it, like this," Goten told his girlfriend licking his cone.

"Oh," Paris said licking her cone.

Goten smiled slightly final she got it. He couldn't believe how long it took her to figure out how to lick an ice cream cone. His thoughts traveled back to when him and Bra got ice cream a few months ago and he smiled. A huge bang interrupted his memories.

"Goten! What is that?" Paris asked scared.

"I don't know let's go find out," Goten said running to the noise. They saw Mr. Satan and a man with blond hair.

"You can do it Mr. Satan!" The crowed cheered.

"Ah look who it is, my number one disciple! He'll teach you a lesson!" Mr. Satan said pushing Goten out beside him.

"What's going on?" Goten asked him.

"He's asking for the Saiyans..." Hercule said his eyes wide, Goten froze. How did this man know about the Saiyans? The only humans that knew of the Saiyans were the Z-fighters and Hercule.

"Where are the Saiyans?" The blond hair man asked.

"What do you want with us?" Goten asked stepping forward.

"You're a Saiyan?" the man asked, then he squinted his eyes. "Oh yes you must be a son of Goku... am I right?

"How do you know my father?"

The man did a crazy laugh, "Let's just say I had a run in with him, your friend, and that sister of yours."

"What do you want?" Goten asked.

"Oh nothing much, just you power!" Goten eyes widened and he barley missed the guys hit.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Lord Baby, your new master."

"You will never be my master!"

"We'll see about that!"

Suddenly Goten felt cold, very cold. It felt as if something was slimming through his body. It was the last thing he remembered.

When B-Goten arrived at Capsule Corp where Bulma, ChiChi, Videl, and Gohan were all he wanted was Vegeta. Gohan could tell something was up. Especially when B-Goten called ChiChi a bitch and started talking about world domination with Vegeta's help. Gohan dragged B-Goten and flew off to a field far away.

"You're not my brother!" Gohan yelled at B-Goten.

They just got done fighting and B-Goten was very aggressive. He was never this aggressive, and he would never call his mother a bitch. Again Gohan couldn't help but wonder what was up.

"Now why would you say that? I look just like you don't I?"

"My little brother would never be so disrespectful to his mother or this out of control." B-Goten stood there not saying any thing so Gohan continued.
"Are you upset about Pan? We all miss her you-"

"I don't want to talk about that whore!" B-Goten spat. Baby hated her, she was the reason that he lost all control over the strongest Saiyan he's been in, Trunks. He took a deep breath "It doesn't matter anymore. With you Gohan we can find Vegeta and rule the world."

"How dare you call Pan a whore!" Gohan said clutching his fist. "What is wrong with you? Taking over the world with Vegeta? Are you crazy?! I won't let you, I'll stop you!"

"Your new master won't be happy."

"M-master? Goten, what master?"

"Lord Baby."

"Who the hell is he? Goten, your being controlled!" Gohan said finally figuring it all out.

An evil cackle from earlier arose and a small alien like creature stuck it's head our of Gotens body. He jumped out and entered Gohan's body through a scratch on his face in less than a second.

When B-Gohan came too he looked at T-Goten who smiled evilly. "Thank you my follower for letting me stay in you. I can't stay in this body for long either, I must find Vegeta. I already planted eggs inside the 3 older women at capsule corp. There's still one Saiyan left other than Vegeta, his daughter. I left an egg inside of you, find her and make her one of us. Do you understand?"

"Yes my Lord," said T-Goten bowing and then taking off.

Bra was in her room hanging up all her new clothes. She just got back from shopping with her dad,;it was ended short because Gohan came and almost blew the car up. Her dad made her drive herself home, and she figured that Gohan needed to let some steam out and so he and her father were sparing.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Bra went to open it to see T-Goten. She smiled "Hey Go-" before she could finish the sentence Gotens lips were forcefully on hers. Bra was shocked. She had imagined Goten's lips on hers, but not like this. This wasn't Goten she could just tell. Bra tried to push him off her, but he only grabbed her shoulders painfully. When she whimpered he took the chance to stick his tongue in her mouth. Bra was hitting him now, she felt something ice cold slip down her throat; her arms feel to her sides and T-Goten removed his lips and wiped them off with his shirt sleeve.

"What did you do to me?" Bra asked holding her neck.

"You'll find out soon enough princess," he said with a smirk. That was the last thing Bra heard before falling into darkness.

REMEMBER: A 'B' IN FRONT OF SOMEONE'S NAME MEANS BABY IS CONTROLLING THEM! A 'T' MEANS THERE IS JUST A TRUFFLE IN THEM!
