Disclaimer: If I had 100 bucks for all the disclaimers I'd own DBZ!! Sheee!! I don't own the song as lovely as it is. It belongs to Robbie Williams and co!
A/N: Gomen! This took sooo long!! My science teacher gave me a ton of homework! She reminds me of that tutor Gohan had…anyways enjoy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alley charged at her target only to be suspended in mid-air. She struggled with all her strength but couldn't get free.
"Aw come on! You're not even giving me a fair chance to fight!" Alley protested.
"If everybody fought fair your parents and grandparents would still be alive, wouldn't they?" Francis asked walking towards her.
"You know too much for such a midget."
"I wouldn't be insulting me if I were you! For you see, once this dark energy force enters your mind it will slowly break any will or strength that you have. I will be in complete control of you."
"Not bloody likely! Loads of people have tried to kill me and they at least meet my height. For some strange reason I don't find you the least bit threatening Francis."
"How did you know my name? Answer me!"
"That's for me to know and for you to wig about." Alley replied. Francis threw the 'dark energy' at her knocking her unconscious on the floor.
About two in the afternoon…
Bra casually walked into the kitchen not noticing the carcass of Alley lying on the floor. She went to get a mug for coffee when she noticed the food laid out on the table.
"Hey, what idiot would leave a cake and turkey out to…omigosh! Alley!" Bra exclaimed running to her side. She checked her pulse. It was steadily beating but she was unconscious. She was cold so she must've been lying there for a long time now. Bra picked her up and put her on the sofa.
"She eats like a herd of cows and she isn't heavy at all. I have to know how she does it." Bra said, carefully laying her on the couch. She ran upstairs and knocked on her brother's door loudly. He opened the door still sleepy.
"What Bra? It's 8am! Go back to sleep!" Trunks said sleepily.
"It's 2 in the afternoon Trunks!! Anyways I found Alley unconscious on the floor in the kitchen!"
"Are you serious?"
"Hai." Trunks rushed downstairs and saw her lying on the couch. He lifted her up and put her back in the bedroom she was staying in. he laid her down on the bed and turned to Bra.
"So, what do we tell the guys?" Trunks asked.
"Tell us what?" Pan asked. She and Goten were standing at the door looking like they were dragged out of bed.
"How come you guys are awake?" Trunks asked.
"Who wouldn't be? You two running around like someone died and…oh my…" Goten walked over to Alley's bedside. "What happened?"
"I dunno. I found her like that in the kitchen." Bra answered.
"Shimatta. It must've been those guys from last night. But what would they want with Alley?" Pan asked.
"Well the only reason I can think of is her powers. They may want to put her out of the running so that she can't help us or something." Trunks said.
"But think about it! She hasn't trained in almost ten years! What use would she be to them?" Goten shouted.
"Hey calm down! He was only giving a suggestion!" Pan said.
"The last thing anyone needs is lip from you so butt out!" Trunks shot back.
"In case you haven't noticed this isn't about you! I know you two aren't exactly as close as family but that is no reason to be so selfish." Bra shouted.
"What do you mean? Alley and me get along just fine!" Trunks said.
"No you don't! Every time you get in an argument you either pin her against the wall or insult her!" Bra said.
"If you two would be reasonable for one second…"
"I am being reasonable!" Pan shouted.
"No you're not. You're acting like the spoilt little baby that you always were!" Trunks shouted back.
"Alright Trunks that is enough! All of you need to grow up. If you three weren't being so childish we could be halfway to solving this now! The only person who may have been able to help us is lying in that bed so I need you two to stop bickering okay?" Goten said stepping in between Pan and Trunks who were about ready to kill each other.
"I cannot believe you said that to me Trunks." Pan blurted out, surprised beyond belief.
"Well believe it. I knew something like this was going to happen and you all waved it off as nothing." Trunks spat out.
"It's nobody's fault Trunks!" Pan said.
"Typical. Just trying to get the blame off yourself." Trunks replied coldly. Pan left the room in anger and Bra followed. Goten gave a death glare to Trunks.
"That was way outta line man." Goten said.
"She had it coming."
"Yep, that's married couples these days." Goten replied.
"WE ARE NOT MARRIED!!"
"You might as well be. You fight like cat and dog. Tom and Jerry. My dad and yours. The Rock and Kurt Angle."
"I think I get the point Goten. I'm just worried. We really don't know what we're up against, I mean, if they could take out Alley they must have some sort of psychic power…"
"They haven't taken her out okay. She's just…not in the conscious state right now." Alley stirred and started muttering. "Alley, what's wrong?"
"You can't make me…I won't let you hurt them…Goten…where are you…" She mumbled tossing and turning in the bed. Goten coloured slightly but shook it off.
"She's really scaring me. I wonder what's happening to her."
In Alley's mind…if such a place exists ^_^;;
Alley tried to fight off the dark shadow figures that were trying to close down her defences. She had no choice but to run. Everywhere she ran she kept running into the same figures over and over again.
"What do you want from me?" Alley asked to no one in particular.
"You will succumb to us!" Many voices echoed in the background. Alley raised an eyebrow.
"How? I dunno what that word means!"
"You will grovel at our feet."
"Okay then, I didn't know you had feet. I just thought you were big figures of darkness but that's just me."
"Silence mortal!! You can't fight the power of darkness forever!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Funnily enough I just made the 'power of darkness' answer me back like a little kid!" Alley answered back only to be knocked down again. "Oy vey…"
Back in the land of the conscious…
"Look Goten, she's waking up!" Trunks said pointing to the now stirring Alley. Goten rushed to her side and held her had trying to get her to wake up.
"Alley, can you hear me?"
"Goten?" She asked as the black mist slowly left her body.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Oh I'm so glad you're okay!" Alley embraced him. Goten blushed but hugged her back.
"What the hell was that?? Hel-lo! Didn't anyone see the incredibly creepy mist??" Trunks asked.
"Where are Pan and Bra?" Alley asked totally ignoring him. Trunks face faulted,
"Oh, they went out a couple of hours ago." Goten replied.
"What time is it?"
"About ten."
"At night?!"
"Yeah, why?" Trunks asked.
"Did you make them angry in anyway?" Alley asked. Goten sighed and proceeded to tell her the story.
"Oh you are so lucky I'm not Pan. I would have killed you. Did they say where they went?"
"To a nightclub." Trunks said.
"YOU LET THEM GO TO A NIGHTCLUB WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT THEM DEAD???!!! HOW STUPID ARE YOU TRUNKS??!!"
"So-rry!"
"We need to go get them now!"
"But they'll think that we're checking up on them!" Trunks argued.
"No? Really? You don't say." Goten said sarcastically.
"Well I'm not going!" Trunks said folding his arms.
"Fine! We'll go!" Alley said rushing out of the bed getting her shoes on.
"Uh Alley? You do look gorgeous in a pair of gym shorts and a sweatshirt but I don't think that's appropriate for a nightclub." Goten commented. She looked down at her attire and blushed.
"Be ready in ten minutes!" She said walking out the door. Goten left to go get dressed. Trunks laid back on the bed and let his thoughts overcome him.
**I'd rather die than let anything happen to you Pan. But I can't face you now, not yet, not until I figure some things out first.**
Goten was waiting downstairs, he was dressed in a black shirt and a pair of khakis. His hair was as neatly combed back as it could be.
"Are you sure you're not going to laugh?" Alley called from upstairs.
"Yes, besides it's not like I've never seen you in a dress before!"
"You haven't!"
"Just come down! Sheesh! After all these years you're still such a tom…boy…WOW! You look gorgeous!" Goten said fighting the urge not to kiss her right there and then. Alley wore a lilac knee-length skirt and a vest-top. Her brown hair was let down. "I've never seen you with your hair down before." Goten commented.
"You look very handsome G."
"Really?"
"Yep. I love men in black." She said walking out to the car, Goten quickly followed.
"Now make sure you kids have a good time!" Trunks called as they sped off.
At Club Boogie… (I know the name is lame but hey…)
"Pan he was just angry! I'm sure he never meant those things!!"
"Yah right."
"Aw don't let him spoil your night out! Forget about him! there is this guy who has been staring at you since the minute we got in." Bra said indicating a guy across the dance floor. Pan looked towards him and he winked. He started walking towards them, took Pan's hand and kissed it.
"Pleasure to meet your acquaintance Mon chérie." He replied. Pan blushed.
"The pleasure is all mine." She said allowing herself to be whisked to the dance floor. Francis was watching them from the bar.
"That's it boss! Just let her fall into your trap and then our plan will be complete!" He said taking a sip of his drink. Alley and Goten walked in the front door and made sure that neither Pan or Bra saw them.
"So explain to me again why we can't just grab them by the ears and take them home?" Alley asked.
"Because they would never forgive us, I don't wanna make a scene and Gohan will kill me if I make Pan cry." Goten replied.
"Oh. Look there's Pan and she's dancing with a guy! Ooh! He's a hottie!"
"You really think so?"
"Quick, I need to get a look at his face." Alley said dragging him to the dance floor.
"May I ask why?"
"Well he may be the guy that was in Trunks' dream."
"How do you know what he looks like?"
"I read Trunks mind."
"You can do that?" Goten asked moving with the music.
"Yep. Saaay! You're good at dancing!"
"Arigatou!"
"You're welcome!" They danced for a while keeping a close eye on Pan. The music changed to a slow song.
I was her, she was me.
We were young, we were free.
And if there's somebody calling me on.
She's the One.
**Well, it's now or never Goten. Ask her or it'll eat you alive. The worst thing she can do is throw it back in your face. Oy this is gonna be difficult!**
"Alley, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Okay, this is a little hard for me so I'll just spit it out. Do you still have any feelings left from me?" Goten asked. Alley sighed and looked straight into his eyes.
"I would be lying if I said I didn't and I hate lying." She replied a little sadly.
"So what's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
"Please tell me."
"How can I even have this conversation with you when I know exactly what is going to happen?!"
"I'm not following you."
We were young, we were wrong.
We were fine, all along.
And if there's somebody calling me on.
She's the One.
"This is how the routine usually goes. I tell you what's wrong, then you tell me that I have nothing to worry about and that it won't happen again, then you kiss me and pretend that everything is just fine, the minute I go home you go at it with another girl! I'm not sure if you've changed or not!"
"Alley! When did this happen?"
"Every time! Every time that I go home this always happens! I'm sorry but I don't think you can handle a long-distance relationship and I'm certain that I can't take you breaking my heart again."
"Alley, we were young back then! Just kids! I admit I had my head in the clouds but I was 17! I never used to think with my heart only with my eyes."
"I'm not sure Goten. Are you sure you're not just thinking with your eyes this time?"
When you get to where you wanna go,
And you know the things the wanna know you're
Smiling.
When you said what you wanna say,
And you know the way you wanna say it,
You'll be so high you'll be
Flying.
"Pan! That is a beautiful name!"
"Thank you." Pan blushed. "What's you're name?"
"Um…you can call me Joe for now." He replied.
"Ah a mystery man!"
"What's the matter my dear? You seem sad."
"Oh…it's nothing."
"Let me guess. The guy you loved broke your heart."
"How did you know?"
"I can read it on your face."
I was her, she was me.
We were young, we were free.
And if there's somebody calling me on.
She's the One.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Only if you want it to be. You need to forget about him and move on. Maybe find a new love." He said edging closer to her face.
"Hmm sound interesting." Pan said looking deep into his eyes.
I was her, she was me.
We were young, we were free.
And if there's somebody calling me on.
She's the One.
"Of course not! I love you because of who you are! You make me laugh, you're smart as well as beautiful, and there is just something about you that no one else has." Goten protested.
"Goten…"
"No lemme finish! If any of those other relationships meant anything to me then I wouldn't have broke them off! If you need to know the truth here it is. I only went out with those other girls because…I needed someone to fill the void when you were gone. I missed you so much my heart literally hurt. I guess I needed someone to make me forget about my pain."
"But that will still happen. I live in Tokyo you know."
"Why can't you move here?"
"Because that's where my family is!"
"Who? Some guy that you happen to call your brother?"
"Don't make me angry Go…omigosh!"
"What?"
"That is the guy!! He's dancing with Pan but I think we may be too late!" Alley said. Goten wasted no time and ran over there and pinned the guy against a wall.
"Uncle Goten!! What are you doing?" Pan said monotonously.
"Saving your life! Hey, why do you sound like you've just been sapped of all mental and physical energy and you are no longer in control of your body?" Goten asked in one breath.
"Because she has!" 'Joe' replied.
"Who the hell are you?" Alley asked.
"That's none of your business!" He snapped.
"Tough! I've decided I'm gonna make it my business!" Bra yelled. All the people in the club started to gather around the scene.
"Goten I think you better put that guy down! He hasn't done anything!" Bra pleaded. Goten released him but 'Joe' flew up and took Pan with him.
"MWAHAHAHAHAAA!! Now you'll never catch me! Say goodbye to Pan cause you'll never see her again!" 'Joe' said as he flew out the roof.
"Well that was redundant!" Alley muttered.
"Put that guy down! He hasn't done anything! My ass!" Goten shouted.
"Shuddup!" Bra said. Alley tried to fly up after them but was held back by Goten.
"A room full of people. Do you really wanna fly?"
"Good point." Alley replied. She saw Francis and ran after him pinning him on the wall. "Aw Francis we gotta stop meeting like this! Folks, they'll talk!"
"Let me go!" Francis hissed.
"Alley!" Goten said.
"This would be the guy that put me into that temp coma. So anybody else wanna question my infinite wisdom!" She shouted. The crowd ran out of the club leaving it deserted.
"How are you still able to control yourself?" Francis asked.
"Good question. I won't answer it though!"
"What makes you think that this guy isn't just someone who's mastered their chi?" Bra asked.
"Have you been drinking?" Alley asked.
"Well Bra, the key factors would be that his exit was evil, his laugh was evil, his threat was evil…am I missing anything out?" Goten said sarcastically.
"Yeah, she had no pupils." Alley replied.
"NANI??!" Everyone said including Francis.
"How the hell did you see that?" Francis shouted.
"Don't tell me you didn't?" Alley asked. Francis kneed her in the stomach and took off after his boss. Goten flew after him.
"Uh G? You might not wanna do that!" Alley called but Goten had already ran into the invisible wall Francis left behind.
"So do we call the folks or do we take care of this ourselves?" Bra asked.
End Of Part 3…
