Hey everyone, here is the next chapter of 'Welcome Home' We left off when Pan was planning on training with Veteta the next day.


6:00 A.M.

"Pan, Are you ok, you seem sad," asked Trunks, as they sat on a bench outside capsule corps.

"Well, you see, I guess I am sad, I miss you Trunks"

"Yeah well, I guess I missed you too, but can I ask you something? Do you miss being in a relationship?"

"Yes Trunks I do"

"Good because I have a surprise for you!"

"Really What??"

"This" John popped out of nowhere and hugged Pan, who was frozen solid. 'No not John'

"You will be happy with him, besides I'm getting married next week, it's going to be a double wedding, you and John, and me and Marron"

"But Trunks, I love you not John" complained Pan, and John disappeared, walking off angrily

"No Pan, your mistaken, you don't love me, and I don't love you" Trunks turned around

"But Trunks please don't go" Pan grabbed his arm and Trunks shoved her off, she fell to the ground and Trunks walked off angrily, turning around with enough speed to send a ki blast straight towards Pan

Waking up with a start Pan rolled over and looked at the clock. Pan groaned, 'Ugh what a dream' she thought as she rolled over and closed her eyes again. The same mental pictures of her dream flashed through her mind, 'Great, I have to get up, what am I going to do for 2 hours while I wait to go to go spar with Vegeta?' Pan looked around the room and saw the phone, 'I guess I can make those phone calls, my friends should be awake and back from school already' she thought as she tried to calculate the time in America in her head. Groaning Pan got up and reached for the phone. 'I guess I'll call Sarah firs' She thought as she punched in the numbers.

The phone rang about 3 times when it was picked up and a giggling voice bubbled with excitement, "John, I told you to wait 5 minutes till you called, it's only been 30 seconds"

"Well, first of all I'm not John, and hello to you too"

"Oh my gosh Pan? How are you? How's Japan? How's Bra, How's your family, was it weird to see that guy again?"

"Ok, calm down, yes its me, I'm fine, except for it being 6:00 am here, Japan didn't blow up while I was gone. My families great, and so is Bra. No seeing Trunks again wasn't as weird as I thought, but I did have a weird dream about him and John last night that I really don't want to think about."

Sarah giggled "Yeah, you said you would call when you got there, so John has been calling none stop to ask how you are, I told him you wouldn't be able to call much because it costs so much, I think he likes you again, but you're not going to get back with him are you? The only reason I can stand him is because he's my cousin, but he's also a jerk"

"No, I have no intention of ever getting back with him, he is a jerk"

"Well tell me about this dream"

"Well, it was kind of weird, Trunks was there with John, and he told me to get back with him, and said that he and Marron and john and I were going to a double wedding, and then for some stupid reason I said I didn't like John, and I liked Trunks, and so he hit me, and told me I didn't love him and he didn't love me, weird huh? I don't even like him like that anymore"

"...Hmm.sounds like you're lying to yourself. Are you sure you don't like this Trunks guy?"

"Of course not, he's a family friend, anyways I got over him."

"Yeah, well maybe...But don't worry about it, everything should turn out fine right? Well hey, I got to go and shower"

"Yeah me too"

"Yeah, ok, tell Bra to call me, oh yeah, John says 'hi', and so do Susan and Ted"

"Well say hi to them I guess, but don't lead John on, make sure he knows I'm over him"

"Ok, I'll tell him you're dating that Trunks guy, bye"

"Wait..." But before she could say something the other line went blank. 'Great,' she thought' I'm not with Trunks, and I don't like him, but my ex, who I hate, will think I am, Oh well, just as long as Trunks doesn't find out' Pan hung up the phone and stared at the room.

"I'll go shower," she said out loud to no one in particular. Pan grabbed some sweats and walked over to the bathroom starting a shower.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Vegeta got out of bed early and walked down the hall towards the kitchen. Stepping over the books and other items left in the hallway from Bulma's 'spring cleaning' phase, Vegeta looked around the kitchen. Bulma was almost done cooking and Vegeta sat at the table until she placed a large plate of food in front of him, which he immediately began to devour in order to satisfy his saiyen stomach. Sometime without his noticing Trunks, and Goten also sat down and were eating, but by the time they started to talk, Vegeta was already out the door heading towards the gravity room

'That girl better be here' he thought as he entered the gravity room and started a series of warm up punches.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_-_-_-_

Pan got out of the shower, changed into her sweats, ate a light breakfast and was out the door and in the air without saying more then a 'hello' to her parents.

Flying through the air Pan tried to clear her mind and focus on the upcoming challenge. She landed at the property of Capsule Corp and checked her watch. 'I'm a half hour early' she thought as she noticed that someone was in the gravity room 'Vegeta must have gotten up early, oh well I'll say Hi to Bra first' she thought as she walked through the large estate and entered the kitchen door.

"Hi Ms.Bulma, Hi Goten, Hi Trunks. Where's Bra?"

"Oh she's still asleep, she's not as good at time changes as you are," responded Bulma who offered her a glass of orange juice and a plate of pancakes. 'Why not?' thought Pan as she sat opposite of the boys and began to eat the syrupy breakfast.

"Well Pan, I hear you're supposed to spar today, be careful"

"I will Bulma, I'm not that out of shape you know"

"Oh well be careful, my father hasn't trained with someone in a while so he might not go easy on you" said Trunks, trying not to sound like he cared.

Pan and Goten both raised eyebrows and Pan responded "Well I hope he doesn't go too easy on me, I want a good work out and I have tons of stress to burn off, plus I feel extra energized today" she said and smiled as she jumped out of her chair "I'm going to go train" she said and ran out of the door towards the gravity room.

Bulma picked up the plate she used and took it to the washing machine "Trunks? You're going to stick around right? I don't want Pan to get hurt, I don't think she quite remembers how rough Vegeta can train, and he decided that when she got back he would not treat her different for being a girl"

"Yeah sure, Goten and I will hang out here"

"Well actually, I have a date Trunks, so I will be leaving in about half an hour to go get ready."

"Oh good, then Trunks can work on those Budget reports" said Bulma as she walked up the stairs to her room

"Great Trunks muttered, unhappy at the thought that he would be doing paperwork on his free day.

They finished breakfast joking around and Trunks ended up sitting at the table working on the papers as Goten left for his date.

Pan ran across the lawn until she reached the gravity room door and considered her options. 'Well, I could either turn off the gravity with that little switch Bra and I used to annoy him with, and he will probably yell at me again, or I can wait for him to wonder where I am, or sense my Ki, and turn it off and yell at me for taking so long...'

Before she could think of more options she unconsciously hit the button hidden in the panel on the side of the door and waited for the sounds to stop, when they did she opened the door, walked in and closed the door. When she turned around she saw a pissed of Vegeta. "What took you so long?" he growled and quickly threw a punch in her direction, which caught her off guard so she barely blocked it.

"Well sorry, but I'm still 15 minutes early" she said as she counter attacked with a nice round house kick that came close to hitting him square in the jaw.

They continued to fight lightly, and then began to levitate. He attacked and she moved under the beam, in time to sneak behind him and hit him square underneath the shoulder blades. They slowed the attack and Vegeta gave a manual command to the machine "Go to 100 times gravity" The machine moved and the gravity increased. Pan received a couple of hits until she could get used to the gravity change and began to block and use counter attacks.

The fight raged on, and Pan began to get more aggressive, until the gravity was increased again and she was barely able to stand the attacks, let alone breath. Her pride kept her standing though, and they continued the fight until Pans mind started to wander 'What did Sarah mean when she said maybe?'

Pans thoughts were disrupted with a hit to the stomach, sending her kneeling to the ground where Vegeta kicked her and she slid to the wall. Pan screamed in pain as Vegeta powered up, and so did Pan. "Increase Gravity 200 units" said Vegeta as he continued the attack and Pan continued to fly into walls, until the gravity was so much that she could barely even fly. Suddenly sparks started flying and the machines computer scream started to blink several numbers, then everything went black.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Trunks was sitting at the table reading, 'Uh my head hurts' he thought as the lights in the house flickered and he looked up at the sound of a loud BOOM!!!!

'Oh great Vegeta blew up the gravity machine' He thought and then remembered that Pan was in there with him, 'uh oh' He looked outside and saw the rubble of what was the gravity machine and immediately ran outside.

Running across the lawn Trunks reached the disaster sight and a few seconds later his mother did too. "Find Pan Trunks, I'll help your father" Bulma found Vegeta and all though she tried to help he refused it and walked to the house, she followed him trying to convince him to take a break. Trunks mind went blank and he searched the heaps of metal till he saw a limp arm in the wreckage, "Oh Kami, no" whispered Trunks as he lifted the heavy beam and saw a small stream of blood stream on the ground.

When he removed more of the parts and was able to get Pan out he tried to wake her up, her eyes fluttered slightly and then closed again as she scrunched her face and tried to curl up in pain. "I know I know it hurts Panny, just stay still ok, I'll get you inside" He said, as he gently picked her up in his arms and began to carry her to the house.

Upon observation he noticed that her injuries weren't quite as severe as he thought. She had small cuts all over herself, and many bruises that would surely show up later, the worst she had were probably some pulled muscles, and a pretty large gash in her side. He looked at her face and noticed that her eyes seemed to open and close. 'Great, every woman dreams of being carried by a guy, but I didn't want it to happen like this' she thought as they started to climb up the stairs. "Uh, no Trunks, don't take me to the infirmary, my Dad will kill me, I told him I wouldn't get hurt" she complained, getting more strength and trying to get out of his arms.

"Well, unfortunately you did get hurt, but I guess I can put you in a spare room and give you a senzu bean, we can just tell everyone that you weren't hurt very badly, just a couple of scrapes" Trunks smiled and turned the corner to one of the many guest rooms. He lay her down on the bed and went to the bathroom. Pan heard him rustling around with some capsules and he came back with a senzu bean. She ate it, and the cuts and scrapes disappeared, but the pain was still there and her head was pounding.

"Go ahead and get some sleep," He said and when he noticed that she was still in pain he quickly added, "I'm not going anywhere"
