First...I reached my target!! 200 reviews!! Did I say 220? *Innocent look* oops...no target this time. Although 220 would be nice....don't forget my mailing list! xenophobe69@hotmail.com
Hmm....To A reader and Celia: Vegeta didn't take the money to spite Bulma nor did he steal it. Weather or not he loved Bulma, he is married to her and by law owns 50% of CC. By my calculations, thats 250 billion zeni (Microsoft is worth $600 bln. Scary huh?) He took it like that so that he wouldn't reveal his location to the Z-senshi.
Yes. Vegeta is a scumbag and an ass and a bastard in this fic. Keep in mind that Vegeta hasn't changed THAT much since his evil days. I've never actually seen GT, so I don't know what he's like. All the info I get is from other fics and from Hikumi. I'm a bastard and an asshole in RL. If someone says I'm annoying them, I annoy them more. If they threaten me, I tell them that their ma has a mouth like a hoover. It's fun!
I'm planning on A: Having Trunks get a part to play and B: A G/V style high school drama only it's V/P
Veresti: Sorry again for upsetting you. Pan's starving herself because she's too depressed to eat. To be honest, in the DBZ world, suicide is pointless, because you end up in the other world all alone and stuff.
Thanks to everyone else who reviewed. It's really encouraging to see 9 pages of mostly positive reviews. Much less angst ahead!!

It was late afternoon when Vegeta returned to the hospital. He had done a lot today. He looked down to his side where a weight tugged on his arm. A small smile played on his lips. He couldn't wait to see the expression on Pan's face. He gradually made it to her room and made his way to her. She awoke upon his entrance and looked at him. 'Vegeta?' she asked with uncertainty. He silenced her with a finger and opened the case that he had brought. Out of it came a very cool, and very expensive, electric guitar with signatures all over it. He handed it to her. 'What...?'
'Happy birthday, Pan. You're 17 today. I got you a new guitar to replace the one that was destroyed at the concert, and got it autographed by every band that you like,' he said to her lovingly.
'Vegeta...It's wonderful. Thank you!!' She threw her arms around him and hugged him.
'There's more. The doctor said that you will be able to walk again! He said it would take about 3 years of physiotherapy, but he doesn't know you're Saiya-jin. I think you'll be healed in a few months. I also bought a place for us to stay at, and enrolled you at the local school.' Pan was so happy she didn't know what to do. Her numb insides suddenly felt warm. Her eyes began to tear up as she hugged Vegeta.
'Thank you so much, Vegeta! It suddenly seems like everything is going to be great. Is there anything bad happening? Apart from the stuff that already happened?' she asked energetically. Vegeta thought for a second.
'My son. I'm still incredibly drained from before. If he can ascend higher, then we're in trouble. Even if I do get back my full power, I can't go past Super Saiya-jin 2. What if he can reach level three?' Pan gasped, then got a wicked grin on her face. *Heehee!!! He doesn't know that I'm stronger than him!! Or that he ascended. He must have. How else could he have healed me? I also vaguely remember Grandpa saying that Vegeta ascended. Yesss!!!! He was unconscious the whole time!! Oh man........could that really work? It would have to wait until I'm fully recovered though.....but it would be sooo much fun. Ultimate power, here I come!!!!*
'Don't worry about it Vegeta. I'd kick his ass any day.' Vegeta chuckled.
'I said the same thing about Freeza. And the androids. And Cell. And Buu.' Pan grinned insanely. *But I have the power to go SSJ4. All I need is a moonlight simulating ki blast. hahahahha!!!!* Pan laughed evilly under her breath. Vegeta noticed this and wondered what was so funny. He shrugged it off as nothing.
They sat there all day talking, when a doctor approached them.
'Mr. Vegeta? Miss Pan? Would you like to know the details of your recovery process?'
Vegeta looked at Pan, who was looking distastefully at the doctor. 'No. Pan is capable of making a full recovery without the help of the likes of you. Come on Pan. Let's go.' He held his hand out to her and she took it. He hoisted her onto his back and blasted out the window, leaving the doctor bewildered. They flew around the city for a few minutes before Vegeta set down in a large public park.
'Why are we here, Vegeta? And I'm still in my hospital gown! You know? The one where I have NOTHING under it?' Vegeta chuckled.
'Really?' he said seductively. Pan blushed a light shade of pink. 'Don't worry. I brought you some clothes from CC.' He threw a capsule on the ground and out of it came a black long sleeve T-shirt, a pair of baggy black jeans, black lace under clothes, socks and her old flamer boots with the huge soles. Her face lit up at the sight of her own clothes. Vegeta brushed his hand over her leg. She blushed at the gesture.
'Vegeta? What are you...?' She may have been blushing madly, but he was deadly serious.
'Could you feel that?' Pan thought for a second before slowly nodding. Vegeta smiled at her. 'That means you have some feeling back in your legs! Can you move them?' Pan's heart jumped at this news. She tried to move her leg and cheered when she managed to move it a tiny fraction.
'Vegeta! I moved it! I'm gonna be able to walk again! Woohoo!!!!' She beamed happily like this for some time. She had already gotten used to the thought that she would never walk again, but having that gift returned to her was one of the best things that had ever happened to her. Vegeta helped her into most of her clothes. She teased him over why he chose black lace for her, but other than that it was done in silence. Vegeta opened another capsule and out came a wheelchair. He helped Pan into it and they began to walk with no destination in mind. Once they came to the edge of the park Vegeta talked, breaking the silence.
'So Pan, where do you want to go? We need to go...' He gulped then shivered. 'Shopping for stuff. We are living in a place of our own now. WE need to get you books for school. Your starting your last year tomorrow.' Pan groaned. *School. Wooppee*
'Why'd you have to get me into a school?'
'You DO want a life, right?'
'.........what do you mean, my last year? It's my second last year!'
'I got them to see your record and they immediately skipped you. You are getting straight A's.'
'Let's go get some things.' Pan nodded.
--------
It was five hours after the moment in the park and Vegeta and Pan were outside their new house. It was a modern looking 2 storey house with a steep roof and pebble dashed exterior. Vegeta wheeled Pan in the front door. The inside was nothing special. Stairs went up and a hall went on. He threw the day's shopping on the ground and wheeled Pan about the house.
'Do we own it?'
'Yes. I bought it with money from CC.' Pan grew troubled at the mention of CC. They remained there in silence for a while.
'I wish that things didn't go as they did. It doesn't matter anymore. Even if my family and friends didn't despise me, I don't think I could look at them in the face again.' Pan sighed.
'Pan, don't think like that. You did nothing wrong. If they can't handle us, then they are showing you how much they really cared for you.' Pan remained silent for some time after that.
'I'm tired, Vegeta. Lets go to bed..' Vegeta nodded, picked her up and carried her up the stairs. He pushed open the bedroom door to reveal a double bed. He set Pan down on the bed and covered her. He undressed down to his boxers and climbed in and pulled her close to his chest causing her to blush a deep shade of pink. They soon fell asleep.
