*sighs and relaxes* Man! I've been at Quasar (laser shooting game) for the last 3 hours and I'm wrecked! My arm is in bits because of it too! Carl was being a sponge as usual. He comes up with no money and uses his idiotic charms to milk money from the rest of us. BTW, Carl, Marianna and Gerry are real people and are mostly not ooc.

I've got some terrible news and some wonderful news. After falling into a deep depression I decided to give up the fic. I even flayed the skin on (or off...) my left hand with a razor because of my depression. The good news is that I'm happy now and I've decided to go on with the fic as planned. Planned!? What plan? I'm making this up as I go! Although I think I'll speed up the pace, as I've had many new ideas that I want to explore.

'Yum. Pizza,' said Vegeta. Pan punched him playfully on the arm before snuggling into him and eventually falling asleep.

6th period...Friday...

It was the beginning of Geography class and the whole class was in their seats. 'I want you all to have your homework ready when I come to collect it,' said Mr. Flipper, the teacher. He moved around the class silently picking up homework. 'Do you have your homework, Matt?'

'Uhh...no. Sorry.' The teacher sighed.

'Why not?'

'I had another premonition sir, and I was so traumatized I couldn't work.' Mr. Flipper sighed again. The class laughed.

'And what was this one about? It had better not be about your sink blocking up again,' said the teacher, waiting for another stupid excuse.

'It was that Angela was going to grow a big hairy ball sac that hung down to her knees, and she agreed to give me a blow, but she gave me the works?' answered Matt innocently. The class burst out laughing and Angela gave Matt a slap.

'Detention,' he sighed before moving on and muttering something about never changing. He finished and returned to his desk. 'Today we'll be seeing an unseen piece of work and...Yes, Pan?'
'You mean a new one sir?'

'Yes. An unseen piece of work.'

'A new piece of work then?'

'Just listen!'

The bell went and the class moved down to the lunch hall. Over the week Pan's personality had become known to the class and they regarded her with the same as Mark, Carl, Angela and Matt. That is, freaks, jerks and assholes. Vegeta had also come to know Matt, Angela and Mark. They were extremely surprised to find out that Vegeta, their mega-ly tough P.E teacher was into metal and wanted to hang around with them.

'Get behind me Angie before I bitchslap you like I bitch slapped yer ma last night,' demanded Mark when Angela skipped him in lunch line. Vegeta chose that moment to walk by with has very light "snack" (a plate piled high with food).

'I'm her ma,' said Vegeta with a smirk on his face.

'You got a mouth like a hoover, Vegeta,' replied Mark in his deep voice.

'You're not so bad yourself,' retaliated Vegeta before walking to a nearby table and sitting down and eating. They both got many stares and shocked looks from the teenyboppers and jocks, who were amazed that Mark was still alive. The first years in particular were now very confused. Yep. This man was definitely a nut. First he claimed that he could teach them to fly, now this? After all the food was eaten, Vegeta, Pan, Carl, Angela, Mark and Matt* were walking around a field talking (minus Pan of course, who was being pushed by Vegeta).

(*These five will be known as "The group" or "the gang" from now on. It takes far too long to type all their names out!)

'So I said "A chill pill? I took one of those once! I was on the toilet for an hour!" And the pizza guy looked like he was gonna piss his pants,' said Vegeta as he recalled that night. The gang laughed. A dog then chose that moment to run up to Carl and slobber all over his trousers.

'Arse Biscuits! These are brand new!' yelled Carl.

'Who's that?' asked Angela, who scratched the dog behind the ear.

'This is my pet. I guess he followed me to school again. His name is Arse Biscuits.' The gang minus Vegeta and Carl fell over animé style.

'You called your dog Arse Biscuits!?!' screamed Angela after getting up. Carl stared at her dumbly.

'Yeah, I did. So what?'

'Ugh...never mind.' They talked for a little bit more before Vegeta asked them to leave so that he could talk to Pan in private. He sounded desperate to get them to leave.

'Pan, do you feel that!? That incredible power! It's my son! I'm going to fight him. I'm bringing you home and I want you to stay there,' he said to her as he proceeded in picking her up and flying away.

'Alone!?' she yelled once they were in midair. 'I'm going with you! You're in no condition to fight!'

'There's no room for debate! You're not going and that's final! Even if there was room, there's no time! He's coming closer. If I want to fight him without hurting the humans then I must go now!' He landed at the house and literally dropped Pan at the front door before rushing off in a different direction. Without waiting for anything she flew up to their bedroom and frantically searched the closet for a capsule. She found it a minute later. She opened it and inside was some fresh Saiya-jin armor. She quickly got it on with some difficulty, and blasted out of the window after Vegeta.

------------

Vegeta approached the huge ki. He saw there on the ground his son waiting for him, his long golden hair swaying in the air. There seemed to be spurs coming out of his arms and legs too. Vegeta touched down in SSJ, his hair violently shuddering from the power he was emitting. 'I'm so glad that you could make it, father,' sneered Vegeta Jr. 'And I must say that for only being in level 1 you're exceptionally strong. Your only about 100 times weaker than me!' Vegeta Jr. proceeded to laugh evilly.

'SHUT UP!! I don't care how strong you are! I'll rip you to shreds!' Vegeta didn't waste any time. He blasted his son and caught him off guard. When the dust settled his son was nowhere to be seen. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a bright blue blast coming at him. Or at least he thought it was coming at him. It went high into the sky. He instantly recognized it and looked away immediately. 'Why!?' he yelled.

'Why!? To show you that you're nothing! To show you my power!!' roared Vegeta Jr. as he looked at the intense orb. He began to transform, and before a minute passed a Golden Oozaru stood there. Vegeta would have looked at it if he could transform too, but he knew that SSJ3 was needed to go golden. He'd become weaker if he did a regular transformation, as it increased his non-super power ten fold, not his super power 10 fold. It was then Pan showed up. She was looking at Vegeta.

'PAN!?! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO FOLLOW ME!!! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!!!'

'I'm here to help Vegeta!!!'

'YOU'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, PAN, NOW LEAVE!!!!!' Pan snorted and burst into level three. Her normally stringy hair spiked up each hair separate from the rest, making her look like a golden pin cushion.

'Not strong enough eh?' she said while smirking. Vegeta stared at her in awe. Before he could say another word Pan turned around and stared up into the blue orb. She too transformed, her armor stretching to a colossal size. All she heard was Vegeta yelling "FOCUS!!!" She could feel herself losing control. She tried desperately to keep a cool head, but found it extremely hard. She pushed and pushed. Gradually her vision cleared and she could hear again. She looked around to find that she was no longer an Oozaru. A pink tail brushed her hand. Her lips twitched, as if deciding what facial expression she should make. They settled on a cruel smirk and a scowl that could kill. *YESSS!!! I finally did it!! I'm a Super Saiya-jin 4!!!* Her now unnaturally black hair hung in massed clumps over her shoulders. She felt around for Vegeta Jr's ki. It was just as strong as hers. She turned around just in time to block a powerful kick from Vegeta Jr. The two were locked for a second before they went into a flurry of kicks and punches. It was very hard for Pan to block, as the spurs would dig into her skin. Luckily, the armor absorbed most of that damage. They were moving so fast that Vegeta could barely keep up. They were, after all, over ten thousand times stronger than him*. Pan hit Vegeta Jr. with a particularly strong kick and he went sailing into a mountain which Pan hastily blasted. She set down next to Vegeta.

'So Vegeta, you still think I'm too weak to make a difference?' Vegeta shook his head 'no' numbly. 'Good.' Pan turned as she felt several kis coming towards her. Gohan, Piccolo, Goten and Trunks set down. They were far beyond shocked to see a Super Saiya-jin 4 Pan waiting for them. She regarded them coldly.

'P...Pan? Is that you? asked Gohan timidly. She eyed him up and down a few times before turning her back to him.

'Yes, Gohan, it's me. Please leave. This situation has nothing to do with you and as you can see, your help would have very little effect on the outcome of the battle.

'Pan,' said Piccolo. 'We came as soon as we felt the two biggest kis to appear on this planet since the evil Shenron episode. Who is it that you're fighting?'

There was a silence before Vegeta answered. 'It is my eldest son.'

'What!?!' yelled the others.

'You heard me! Apparently my first mate survived long enough to deliver my first brat, Vegeta.'

'Wait a minute,' said Trunks. 'You mean I have an older half brother?!'

'That is precisely what I mean. Why do you think you weren't called Vegeta? That is a name saved only for the eldest. I thought he died, but I guess I was mistaken.'

'Oh I see now, father!! You couldn't protect him either?! Hmph! Like you cared! I hope he doesn't kill you, because I'd much rather do that myself! How could you leave Mom!? After all she's done for you! She gave you a home! Food! A place to train! She gave you her love! Hell, she even helped you achieve Super Saiya-jin status, and you repay her by leaving her!? You broke her heart! You...'

'Enough, Trunks!!' cried Gohan. 'Pan! I don't care what you did! I miss you and I forgive you! Please come home!' Pan just stared at him with cold, unfeeling eyes. 'Pan?!?'

'No.' That one, simple word told Gohan all he needed to know. 'Do you have any idea what I've gone through since that day at the hospital when my family and friends abandoned me for something that I couldn't help? First, I was faced with the prospect of never being able to walk again. Then with having huge scars to remind me of one of the worst nights of my life. Then my family and friends break my heart by basically saying that I was wrong and evil somehow. Then I was almost raped by the very one who's in that crater over there. The trauma of being alone for the rest of my life with no one who cares for me save Vegeta was terrifying. Who was there for me all those times that I felt like killing myself? My friends? Family? No. Only Vegeta. He made me feel like life was worth living. That is why I won't go back.' There was a long, tense silence that lasted for several minutes, when Vegeta started yelling.

'My son! He's gone! He fled while you were making your speech, Pan!' Her eyes widened and she took to the air and frantically searched for him. With no success after a minute or so, she started blasting the terrain randomly. She sent a barrage of hundreds of blasts, each so powerful that the ground shuddered under the sheer power. Once the entire landscape for a hundred miles was decimated save for the area which the others were on, she dropped down. Gohan looked like he was about to say something, but Pan talked first.

'That is only a small example of my power. Do not come looking for me. When you all wake up, I'll be gone.' In less than a blink of an eye, the Namek warrior and the three Super Saiya-jin were out cold. She teleported her and Vegeta home and dropped out of SSJ4. Vegeta reverted back to normal too.

'They offered to take me back, Vegeta...' she said sadly. 'And I refused. Curse my pride and my temper!! Damn it all to hell!!!' There was a silence. Vegeta swallowed his pride once again for Pan and pulled her into a strong embrace. Pan eventually pulled away and walked into kitchen. Vegeta gaped at her.

'What is it Vegeta?'

'You're walking, Pan.'

'I...am? I am!! But how?'

'I don't know....maybe the transformation fixed you? It doesn't matter! We'll have to celebrate somehow. After all,' he smirked. 'Now we can do fun "activities" when ever we want, ne?' Pan grinned.

'Nope.'

Vegeta did a double take. 'NOPE!!!'

'You heard me, Vegeta.'

Vegeta pouted. 'You mean we can't spar?'

'Hmm....that, I might consider. I thought you meant Twister. I hate that game!' Pan and Vegeta laughed. They went into the kitchen and celebrated with a feast before getting an early night's sleep.

* If SSJ-4 is 10 times stronger than Golden Oozaru and Golden Oozaru is 10 stronger than SSJ3 and so on and so forth, then they would be at least that much stronger than him.
