Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ/GT and I don't own the characters either.
A/N: Hey! I got really wonderful reviews that inspired me to hurry with this next chapter. I want to thank each and every one of you that reviewed the other chapters, it really means a lot to me. Somebody mentioned that is was really hard to write A/U stories and that I was really good *I cant remember who, sorry* and I was really pleased to hear all those compliments. THANK YOU ALL!! PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN!! REVIEW!!
*I am going to start off the conversation on the phone between Pan and Bra. They've been talking for about 5 minutes*
"Really? You guys sound like partiers! I'd love to come and chill with you all! I think me and Goten are going to come there in Spring Break." Pan said. She had been talking to Bra for a while now and they had found that they had some things in common, and both knew they would totally be really great friends in the time to come. Bra was recalling all the old memories she had of her, Goten, Marron, and Trunks. Pan was telling Bra of her boring life there, until now.
"Cool, I'd so love to see you in person! You sound awesome, I'd definitely love to hang with you, too! Man, for being Goten's relative, you sure are different!" Bra said, she really liked Pan and knew that Videl and Gohan would be proud.
"Do you mean different in a good way?"
"Yes! Well, Goten's family is great, too!!"
"Ohhhhh! I can't wait to see you all!"
"I know! Hey what time is it there?"
"It's about 5:45 am, what about there?"
"It's like 2:30 in the morning!! And as much as I'd love to talk to you, if my daddy finds out that I've been talking on the phone, especially with a relative of "Kakarott" he'll burst a bubble. I have to go unfortunately, but I'll see you in a little while, ne?? I can't wait to meet you! I already know how nice and cool you are!! Ok, bye Pan!!" Bra said reluctantly.
"Thanks Bra, you're to nice and cool, too! Well, I gotta fly too, so CYA then!!" Pan hung up and gave Goten's cell phone back to him.
"So??" Goten asked with his eyebrows arched.
"She's so cool! Man, you guys make an awesome couple! She's really nice. Uncle Goten, can you really teach me how to fight, train and fly??" Pan asked anxiously. Goten nodded feverishly.
"Of course! Well, if we are going to start tomorrow, I suppose you get some sleep. Meet me at the back of the back fence. That's the only place I have seen so far where nobody goes and it's roomy and peaceful, it'll be a good training "room" S you have to wake up in about 3 hours, so go to sleep!" Goten got up and stretched. Pan also got up and yawned, she started towards her room when Goten called out, "Remember, by the back of the back fence, no later than 3 hours!!" Pan nodded and hurried towards her dorm.
*Videl has already started to tell Gohan*
Gohan looked at his wife's serious eyes that were full of happiness and completion. He saw her face; it was tired in a very excited, happy looking way. His eyebrows were furrowed and his brown eyes flashed confusion. Videl took his hand and smiled.
" I am telling you exactly what I heard from the doctors and Goten. Please find it somewhere in you, honey, to believe that our little Pan-Chan is alive! And.....and....she's healthy...*sniff* our baby is out there with Goten and she's really great! Gohan, I'd never tell you something I thought was untrue or fake, but this...this is no lie. I mean, I can feel it in my heart that Pan is breathing, sleeping, growing. She's a teenager and she is psyched to see us." Videl stared deep into Gohan's eyes and she uncoiled all the disbelieving fears of his. She soothed his worries that this really amazing fact was untrue. Somehow, with the power of being his loyal wife, *corny isn't it?* she made Gohan understand that it was all true, and their daughter would be coming home to them soon.
"Videl, are you sure....I mean....Well...you know that...Uh, our daughter is alive??" Gohan asked unbelievingly. Videl nodded and again took Gohan's hand.
"Gohan, I know it's really hard for you to believe me, I mean, it's kind of weird to wake up in the middle of the night and have your wife tell you that your daughter that was supposed to have died 16 years ago is actually not really dead, but if I you don't believe it, who will? You are always willing to believe things that are outrageous and unbelievable. This is both and it's true! Gohan, tell me you didn't have doubts about all that crap the doctors told us, tell me deep down you really aren't sure whether she's alive or dead! That's the part of your body that rages out: FATHERHOOD! You're a dad, and your child actually teenager is alive!" Videl felt an urgent need to make Gohan understand that Pan was going to be coming there soon and he would have to realize that she was alive. Gohan swallowed the knot that had been forming in his throat and cleared his throat. He sat with his eyes wide open and his thoughts were running wild. His brain was telling him, 'Damn! Your daughter is alive, your daughter is alive! How long have you waited to hear that! Your daughter's alive!!' and every limb of his body felt like jelly. His heart was pumping quickly and he felt the tiny bit of hope he had burning in his body, rage out into a fiery burning sensation. His eyebrows slowly un-furrowed and his lips started forming a half smile. His eyes, glowing, were starting to get this hopeful, energized look. He got up and started walking towards the phone, then sat down again. He looked at his wife who was all smiles and kissed her cheek softly.
"Videl....I....I don't know what to say! I mean.....it's so unbelievable! I....cant believe it! Pan....Pan's....alive!! I'm...I'm at a total....total loss of words!! I mean...what am I supposed to....to say or... or do? It's not everyday something as weird as this happens to me! Well.....I guess....I guess....we should start planning the arrival of our daughter!" Gohan said. He smiled and went to his bedroom. His head felt really heavy and he thought it would be best to sit after that conversation. He took a deep breath and ruffled his hair.
'God, when dad said that weird things could happen at anytime in a saiyan's life, I never knew it could get this weird. There are so many questions that are unanswered and...there are so many memories that haven't been shared. I could have never imagined, ever, that this would happen. I mean after I learned of my daughter's death, I was so down. I was too busy grieving with guilt that I never actually thought that she could still be alive. I could have probably sensed it if I wasn't all sad and stuff over nothing! Oh and the reason I don't have my daughter here right now.....THE BAKA DOCTORS!! STUPID ASS DOCTORS, NOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN THAT IT ISNT ALWAYS SAFE WHEN YOU KIDNAP A SAIYAN'S CHILD!!' Gohan tried to fall asleep on the happy note that he would be able to see his kid that he, "supposedly" killed and he could kill the doctors who kidnapped his kid.
'Didn't they know I would have eventually get Pan back anyways? I better go to sleep before I have a heart attach from all this news and crazy stuff.' Gohan drifted off into a sleep that made him dream that he was actually sitting close to his daughter, but he couldn't see her face. She was soothing him and telling him that as unbelievable as these things sounded, they were actually facts. She took Gohan's hand and reassured him that his daughter was not dead and when he got into that car crash, it wasn't his fault at all that the doctors had stolen her. She told him to take it seriously and even though it was a very weird thing, it always happened on T.V. shows. In his dream, as much as Gohan tried to see his daughter's face, he couldn't. She told him to be patient and everything would be revealed soon enough.
Pan woke up early in the morning. The sun was barely drifting over the high mountains and only half of the birds were awake. She got up and stretched. She looked at the time and jumped into the steamy shower. When Pan got out it was about 15 minutes till the time Goten had told her to be out. She pulled on cut of shorts and a sweat shirt. She quickly put her hair in a ponytail and dashed out of her room. She ran all the way down the grand stairway *picture Titanic, but less fancy and no huge clock* She bolted out the main entrance. There where millions of corridors, classes, and other halls that were ahead of her. The school itself was very, very HUGE. It had 3 tennis courts, 4 basket ball courts, 1 football field, 2 soccer fields, and a very big gym. The gym had an Olympic sized swimming pool, 2 volley ball nets, 1 badminton net, and a track. Then there were other buildings occupying the huge 10 acre school. There was the 2 story library, with a computer lab. There was the cafeteria, the auditorium, which was very fancy and Broadway-ish. She sighed and ran at super speed across the thousands of different classes and corridors, she ran all the way out in front of the cafeteria. She saw the old fence and Goten sitting there, obviously waiting. She ran again and reached the end of the fence in about 4 minutes. She grabbed a hold of the Iron Gate and got a hold of her breath. She leaned downward and Goten helped her over the fence.
"Take big breaths, you need all the energy and breath you have for your lessons." Goten was being serious, something he did only when he thought it was necessary so Pan went into serious mode too. Goten told her to stretch out her muscles, especially her thighs, abdomen and upper arms. She stretched and did a serious of warm ups while Goten brooded on what to start with first. When Pan was done she walked over to him.
"Well, first I thought I should teach you the basic stance and positions of the saiyan warrior. I was just going to give you some tips on what most people did and how to dodge or stuff. We'll get to the hard stuff later. Then I thought I should give you some basic flying lessons, I know that'll only take you a while to figure out. Ok, the real fighting comes after I've taught you about the whole gravity/ power up/Kamehameha thing. So, it's your choice what would you like to start with?" Goten asked her. He told her that she would have to put on of her concentration into her training and it was supposed to be kept a secret. She agreed whole heartedly and courageously walked up to Goten.
"Goten, maybe you can give me classes twice a day, I mean if it's not to much for you. Well, I thought maybe we could start with flying, even though I am totally psyched to start with the fighting and I really want to learn everything I can about it, but I think flying will help out a bit, don't you think??"
"That's true. Ok, I guess we can start off with flying, although I'm warning you, you wont get it the first time." Goten took Pan's arm and they levitated up off the ground. Pan squealed with delight and Goten smiled.
"I'm going to get you used to the airborne feeling, then I'll tell you what to do and when." Goten moved around a bit, checking Pan's face to see if she was able to handle the flight or not. She was actually smiling though, so after about 3 minutes, he brought her back down.
"That was so cool!! I can't wait till I can do it myself!!" Pan said excitedly. Goten liked the way she agreed right away to things and she was a good student.
"Okay, first of all, you have to concentrate all of your thoughts, I mean all of them on one single thought and then you have to believe you are taking flight. Imagine you're in the clouds or somewhere like that. You might want to get on the tree limb right there." Goten directed her to a medium high limb and she jumped onto it. Goten grinned, knowing that her saiyan abilities where just beginning to unfold. He got up on it with her and took her arm.
"Ok Pan, remember take deep breathes, relax and think of that one thought, pretend that you are already in the sky and it might just work magic for you." Goten let Pan relax and when he was sure she was relaxed and concentrating, he slowly lowered himself to the ground, obviously ready to catch her if she fell. Pan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and thought really hard and almost believed that she was dancing above the houses and buildings, she didn't even now when she jumped into the breezy air. She was trying to concentrate, but for some reason her thoughts kept going back to the thought of failure and she could almost see Goten's disappointed look. She opened her eyes and let out a small scream, right before her face met the ground. She sat for a while, in the moist ground with her head embraced in the soft grass. She felt very light, but embarrassed. She waited for Goten's laughter to come, but instead he helped her up with a helping hand. Her cheeks were burning and he took her hand.
"It's all right Pan! I told you, hardly anyone gets it at first! It took me like 8,000,000 tries to get it, but you're flexible and light, don't worry about not making it, and just focus on that thought. Don't feel like you'll never make it, with that kind of unhappy note it'll be impossible!! Just relax and be ready to try and remember, be determined, always think positive thoughts like, 'I'll fly or I'll make it!' It worked for me. Hear, I'll help you up, I'm always here for you. Oh and sorry I didn't catch you, I barely saw your tiny body when you screamed, my bad." Goten said goofily. Pan smiled.
"Thanks Goten, but do me a favor and just let me fall ok? I think it might make the smallest of difference. Ok I'll try again, this time, think Pan! Believe Pan!" Pan said to herself as again Goten went to the limb with her. She took a deep breath and again jumped, and again felt bad so she, of course, hit the ground, but ever so lighter. Goten kept giving her tips and telling her that she could do it and every time she hit the floor, he was by her side, again telling her to believe in herself and encouraging her to be conceited and think she was the best flyer in the world and nobody could beat her. Finally after about 20 different falls and different thoughts, Goten finally took Pan and went to the limb.
"Pan, I know you can do it! Believe and don't think of failure! You are a Son and Sons never think doubtfully for themselves. You have to make yourself believe with all your might that it isn't that hard to fly. I promise you that it will work if you think nice, relaxed thoughts. Now, believe you can fly, believe you can fly, and believe you can fly......" Slowly Goten got Pan saying the words and she felt good and relaxed.
'Ok Pan, at least get this for your Uncle Goten, I mean look at the poor guy, he's been there the whole time rooting you on and you have got to give yourself a break.......Do this for Goten, for Goten!! I can do thiiiiiisssssssss!!!' Pan thought as she again leapt into the air. She felt the wind hit her body and this time the nasty thoughts weren't as loud. She opened her eyes and was freaked out the seen the grass and she lost control. When she felt herself lowering faster and faster something inside of her exploding.
'NO!! NO YOU WILL NOT LET YOURSLEF BE HUMILIATED! YOU CAN DO THIS! BELIEVE PAN! YOU CAN DO IT! DO IT FOR YOU GRANDPA AND UNCLE! DO IT FOR YOURSLEF!!' Pan thought she was going to hit the moist ground again, but she was surprised to never even feel it. She opened her eyes and she was again shocked to see that she had actually lowered her self down right before she had compacted into the earth. She smiled very widely and her grin was unmistakably a very happy one. She ran over to Goten and gave him a 'High-Five' He smiled at his niece and gave her a water bottle.
"Well, that was great for the beginning!! I am really proud of you, you actually controlled you weight and power and defeated gravity! I think if you thought what you just thought before you landed face flat into the ground, you'll do great! I mean, at this rate only a few more hours of training and I you will be actually able to fly!" Goten said encouragingly to Pan, who was shining practically. They practiced for a whole hour and by every jump, she was getting better and better. By the end of their lesson, Pan was already levitating by bits of the ground. The highest she went up was about 4 feet and Goten was really impressed by her. They went and chilled outside and for the whole day the rested and prepared for the next lesson. It was a Saturday so they had a day off from school and they eat, went to swim and then they played Playstation 2. When it was like 6:30 and the sun was going down Goten decided to train again. Pan was more than excited to and they both went to their training 'room' and Goten gave Pan tips on staying away from airborne objects, he told her to stay out of human view and then he helped her actually levitate high off the ground. He helped her learn to steer in her own direction and he was really impressed by how relaxed she was. 'Natural from the genes.' Thought Goten. When he was sure she wouldn't get really dizzy, he took her on a little air trip and they went a little high in the sky, enough for Pan to get used to. Goten would take her higher later. Pan was exhilarated to be so high off the ground. She felt as light as a feather and as fast as Superman. Pan was all smiles. The continuing classes that Goten taught Pan in were consistent of training, in battle forms and stances. Pan was a very natural in martial arts and she powered up to an unbelieving first level. Goten taught her basic and tougher moves and dodges. She learned very instantly, Goten figured it was because she was actually saiyan inside anyways. In between lessons of more flying and fighting Goten would give Pan more tips on the ordinary lifestyle and unique talents. The lessons went on for about 2 weeks and by the end of the lessons Goten was stunned by how quickly Pan learned and he was equally shocked when she was able to power up and do counter attacks. He thought that his father could do her the honor of teaching her the Kamehameha because that was, in fact, his move and Goten knew his father would be proud. Goten was still astounded when Pan flew all the way across a river and over some mountains, he was training her for a world wide trip. She was beginning to be a major ass-kicker in fighting. Of course Goten could still beat her, but with her strength, abilities, and power, she was just at the tip of her pyramid. Goten knew she would do many great things and she'd make a lovely saiya-jin. Pan was ecstatic to hear that she was doing really well, it was her life long dream to hear that she was really good by someone who was stronger than her. Pan was overwhelmed by the fact that she could soar the sky and flip around doing extreme martial arts moves. When she heard about the Kamehameha, she was totally excited to actually learn it especially with her Grandpa, who sounded really cool and nice. Pan was so happy that when everyone at school saw her they raised their eyebrows in confusion and they thought that maybe she won the lotto, the way she was acting now a days. Whenever Pan was outside or inside, she always had the same smile on her face and the same achieving twinkle in her eyes. She thanked Goten and hoped that he would always get what he wanted in life. 2 weeks went by in a flash and before Pan even knew it, Goten was teaching her the special movements and attaches. She loved every second of her training time and when she was in the sky, she thought there was nothing like it. After their last practice before they actually went to Japan, Goten and Pan did some actual fighting. They fought for about 15 minutes, until Goten was satisfied and he decided that Pan didn't need anymore tips. She had her power in control and her abilities in check. The went up into the air and he did a medium Ki Blast, which she counter-attached nicely. He grinned and went to the surface, signaling that the fight was over. Pan flew down nicely, she was now a kind of pro at flying. When she thought pro, she meant she didn't have to hold anything or get dizzy while flying. Videl had recently called and asked when they were to come and if she should book them airline tickets, Goten told her not to worry about it and that he'd be seeing her soon. Videl told Goten that she was barely able to keep Gohan from blowing up the evil doctors office and when Gohan was face top face with the doctor, he punched him in the nose and kicked him a couple of times. Videl would not let Gohan do anymore damage, but Gohan swore that if the doctors did anything like that again, he would definitely kick some ass. He also said that they should thank his wife for being so kind to them after what the hell they put her through, and if it wasn't for her, he would kick their measly butts. Goten cracked up laughing when he heard that the stupid ass doctor actually got on his knees and begged for Videl's forgiveness. Goten had told Videl that him and Pan would be there soon, so he warned her to make a big feast, which she gladly said yes to.
"Uncle Goten, I am so nervous about flying all the way to Japan, I mean first of all I...I have only had 2 weeks to prepare and....and the flight is probably going to take a lot of energy outta me. And......what if your...I mean...our family doesn't....I mean...what if I'm not what they expected me to be....you know what I mean??" Pan said. She was staring off into space and Goten asked her to look at him telepathically *He also taught her how to read, talk, and signal in a telepathic way* Pan looked at her Uncle and relaxed a bit when she saw his embracing eyes.
"Don't worry about anything Pan. Why do you always think badly about yourself? Don't worry, I mean, you are so much like our family, I bet they wont even notice you were gone for 16 years. I bet you'll fit in perfectly! Have some confidence in yourself, believe me, if you think you will fit in, they will know that you are cool and relaxed about the whole, 'I'm meeting you all when I'm 16 instead of when I was born,' thing. Come on Pan, show some spirit, I know that you are a very bright person and you are going to be fine!" Goten said to Pan, making her feel better. Pan nodded and they went to their rooms to pack for their upcoming trip. Bra and Pan had spoken to each other more and now it felt that Pan had known Bra her whole life. They were really close and they already started telling each other secrets and other girlie stuff. Pan knew her and Bra would be friends forever and Bra had the same feeling. Bra had sent 10 suit case capsules to Goten and he helped Pan put her stuff in them. When they were all packed and signed out of Varanase High, they sat with their capsules and just watched the swans glide over the ponds peacefully. Goten kept reassuring Pan and when they thought it was a nice time to leave, they finally took flight. The first rush of air felt a little weird to Pan, but when they continued to gradually soar higher and higher into the sky, the light breeze felt good against Pan's forehead.
~*~*~At The Son Household~*~*~*
Videl looked around at all the guests and relatives. There was a whole bunch of people there, all chatting and waiting. Bra had informed them that Pan and Goten were on their way and they'd be there in almost no time. Marron, Uub, Trunks and Bra were all talking about how great it would be to finally see Goten again and meet this new girl, who Bra told them was extremely cool and friendly. Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Puar were all talking about Goku's granddaughter and son. Goku was in a very cheery mood and he kept trying to talk to Vegeta, who was in his usual corner. Piccolo was also in the opposite corner, he was talking to Gohan. All the ladies were in their usual 'Gossip Place' and Chichi and Videl were absolutely beaming. They were talking about what Pan must look like and whom she acted like. Everyone had brought gifts for the special girl *woman, lady, whatever!* The little reunion was getting pretty exciting when Bra got a call on her cell phone that Goten and Pan would be there in about 5 minutes. Chichi started pacing the floor. It was kind of silent, but really loud. Videl's heart was thumping wildly. Gohan and Goku sat down and felt the anticipation of the moment heat up. Everyone at once started saying things like, 'Oh, she's going to be wonderful!' Or, 'I bet she's a doll!'
Pan's heart started beating twice its normal rate when Goten looked at her and told her it would only be about 10 minutes more. They had been in the air for about 20 minutes now and Pan was really enjoying the view. She loved how the air wrapped around her body, making her feel really light. She liked how her body had a soft glow around it and when there weren't any clouds, she could perfectly make out the cities. She sniffed at the aroma of the air, it smelt bittersweet. She grinned as Goten took her hand and they both powered up to a very quick speed. Her hair blew all over and when her saiyan eyesight hit the sign that said 'Japan-2 miles' her whole body did a sort of twist that made her stomach feel knotted. Goten steered her in the direction North and they were in the mountains within a couple of minutes. Goten slowed down and looked at Pan.
"See that tiny little house in all of that green land? Well, that's our destination, that's our house!!" Goten tried not to make Pan nervous. Pan gulped and looked at the tiny little house by the little stream. The house was lit and she could make out tiny figures inside. Her stomach was jumping in all kinds of directions, when slowly Goten started tilting downward.

Somebody mentioned that is was really hard to write A/U stories and that I was really good *I cant remember who, sorry* and I was really pleased to hear all those compliments. THANK YOU ALL!! PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN!! REVIEW!!
*I am going to start off the conversation on the phone between Pan and Bra. They've been talking for about 5 minutes*
"Really? You guys sound like partiers! I'd love to come and chill with you all! I think me and Goten are going to come there in Spring Break." Pan said. She had been talking to Bra for a while now and they had found that they had some things in common, and both knew they would totally be really great friends in the time to come. Bra was recalling all the old memories she had of her, Goten, Marron, and Trunks. Pan was telling Bra of her boring life there, until now.
"Cool, I'd so love to see you in person! You sound awesome, I'd definitely love to hang with you, too! Man, for being Goten's relative, you sure are different!" Bra said, she really liked Pan and knew that Videl and Gohan would be proud.
"Do you mean different in a good way?"
"Yes! Well, Goten's family is great, too!!"
"Ohhhhh! I can't wait to see you all!"
"I know! Hey what time is it there?"
"It's about 5:45 am, what about there?"
"It's like 2:30 in the morning!! And as much as I'd love to talk to you, if my daddy finds out that I've been talking on the phone, especially with a relative of "Kakarott" he'll burst a bubble. I have to go unfortunately, but I'll see you in a little while, ne?? I can't wait to meet you! I already know how nice and cool you are!! Ok, bye Pan!!" Bra said reluctantly.
"Thanks Bra, you're to nice and cool, too! Well, I gotta fly too, so CYA then!!" Pan hung up and gave Goten's cell phone back to him.
"So??" Goten asked with his eyebrows arched.
"She's so cool! Man, you guys make an awesome couple! She's really nice. Uncle Goten, can you really teach me how to fight, train and fly??" Pan asked anxiously. Goten nodded feverishly.
"Of course! Well, if we are going to start tomorrow, I suppose you get some sleep. Meet me at the back of the back fence. That's the only place I have seen so far where nobody goes and it's roomy and peaceful, it'll be a good training "room" S you have to wake up in about 3 hours, so go to sleep!" Goten got up and stretched. Pan also got up and yawned, she started towards her room when Goten called out, "Remember, by the back of the back fence, no later than 3 hours!!" Pan nodded and hurried towards her dorm.
*Videl has already started to tell Gohan*
Gohan looked at his wife's serious eyes that were full of happiness and completion. He saw her face; it was tired in a very excited, happy looking way. His eyebrows were furrowed and his brown eyes flashed confusion. Videl took his hand and smiled.
" I am telling you exactly what I heard from the doctors and Goten. Please find it somewhere in you, honey, to believe that our little Pan-Chan is alive! And.....and....she's healthy...*sniff* our baby is out there with Goten and she's really great! Gohan, I'd never tell you something I thought was untrue or fake, but this...this is no lie. I mean, I can feel it in my heart that Pan is breathing, sleeping, growing. She's a teenager and she is psyched to see us." Videl stared deep into Gohan's eyes and she uncoiled all the disbelieving fears of his. She soothed his worries that this really amazing fact was untrue. Somehow, with the power of being his loyal wife, *corny isn't it?* she made Gohan understand that it was all true, and their daughter would be coming home to them soon.
"Videl, are you sure....I mean....Well...you know that...Uh, our daughter is alive??" Gohan asked unbelievingly. Videl nodded and again took Gohan's hand.
"Gohan, I know it's really hard for you to believe me, I mean, it's kind of weird to wake up in the middle of the night and have your wife tell you that your daughter that was supposed to have died 16 years ago is actually not really dead, but if I you don't believe it, who will? You are always willing to believe things that are outrageous and unbelievable. This is both and it's true! Gohan, tell me you didn't have doubts about all that crap the doctors told us, tell me deep down you really aren't sure whether she's alive or dead! That's the part of your body that rages out: FATHERHOOD! You're a dad, and your child actually teenager is alive!" Videl felt an urgent need to make Gohan understand that Pan was going to be coming there soon and he would have to realize that she was alive. Gohan swallowed the knot that had been forming in his throat and cleared his throat. He sat with his eyes wide open and his thoughts were running wild. His brain was telling him, 'Damn! Your daughter is alive, your daughter is alive! How long have you waited to hear that! Your daughter's alive!!' and every limb of his body felt like jelly. His heart was pumping quickly and he felt the tiny bit of hope he had burning in his body, rage out into a fiery burning sensation. His eyebrows slowly un-furrowed and his lips started forming a half smile. His eyes, glowing, were starting to get this hopeful, energized look. He got up and started walking towards the phone, then sat down again. He looked at his wife who was all smiles and kissed her cheek softly.
"Videl....I....I don't know what to say! I mean.....it's so unbelievable! I....cant believe it! Pan....Pan's....alive!! I'm...I'm at a total....total loss of words!! I mean...what am I supposed to....to say or... or do? It's not everyday something as weird as this happens to me! Well.....I guess....I guess....we should start planning the arrival of our daughter!" Gohan said. He smiled and went to his bedroom. His head felt really heavy and he thought it would be best to sit after that conversation. He took a deep breath and ruffled his hair.
'God, when dad said that weird things could happen at anytime in a saiyan's life, I never knew it could get this weird. There are so many questions that are unanswered and...there are so many memories that haven't been shared. I could have never imagined, ever, that this would happen. I mean after I learned of my daughter's death, I was so down. I was too busy grieving with guilt that I never actually thought that she could still be alive. I could have probably sensed it if I wasn't all sad and stuff over nothing! Oh and the reason I don't have my daughter here right now.....THE BAKA DOCTORS!! STUPID ASS DOCTORS, NOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN THAT IT ISNT ALWAYS SAFE WHEN YOU KIDNAP A SAIYAN'S CHILD!!' Gohan tried to fall asleep on the happy note that he would be able to see his kid that he, "supposedly" killed and he could kill the doctors who kidnapped his kid.
'Didn't they know I would have eventually get Pan back anyways? I better go to sleep before I have a heart attach from all this news and crazy stuff.' Gohan drifted off into a sleep that made him dream that he was actually sitting close to his daughter, but he couldn't see her face. She was soothing him and telling him that as unbelievable as these things sounded, they were actually facts. She took Gohan's hand and reassured him that his daughter was not dead and when he got into that car crash, it wasn't his fault at all that the doctors had stolen her. She told him to take it seriously and even though it was a very weird thing, it always happened on T.V. shows. In his dream, as much as Gohan tried to see his daughter's face, he couldn't. She told him to be patient and everything would be revealed soon enough.
Pan woke up early in the morning. The sun was barely drifting over the high mountains and only half of the birds were awake. She got up and stretched. She looked at the time and jumped into the steamy shower. When Pan got out it was about 15 minutes till the time Goten had told her to be out. She pulled on cut of shorts and a sweat shirt. She quickly put her hair in a ponytail and dashed out of her room. She ran all the way down the grand stairway *picture Titanic, but less fancy and no huge clock* She bolted out the main entrance. There where millions of corridors, classes, and other halls that were ahead of her. The school itself was very, very HUGE. It had 3 tennis courts, 4 basket ball courts, 1 football field, 2 soccer fields, and a very big gym. The gym had an Olympic sized swimming pool, 2 volley ball nets, 1 badminton net, and a track. Then there were other buildings occupying the huge 10 acre school. There was the 2 story library, with a computer lab. There was the cafeteria, the auditorium, which was very fancy and Broadway-ish. She sighed and ran at super speed across the thousands of different classes and corridors, she ran all the way out in front of the cafeteria. She saw the old fence and Goten sitting there, obviously waiting. She ran again and reached the end of the fence in about 4 minutes. She grabbed a hold of the Iron Gate and got a hold of her breath. She leaned downward and Goten helped her over the fence.
"Take big breaths, you need all the energy and breath you have for your lessons." Goten was being serious, something he did only when he thought it was necessary so Pan went into serious mode too. Goten told her to stretch out her muscles, especially her thighs, abdomen and upper arms. She stretched and did a serious of warm ups while Goten brooded on what to start with first. When Pan was done she walked over to him.
"Well, first I thought I should teach you the basic stance and positions of the saiyan warrior. I was just going to give you some tips on what most people did and how to dodge or stuff. We'll get to the hard stuff later. Then I thought I should give you some basic flying lessons, I know that'll only take you a while to figure out. Ok, the real fighting comes after I've taught you about the whole gravity/ power up/Kamehameha thing. So, it's your choice what would you like to start with?" Goten asked her. He told her that she would have to put on of her concentration into her training and it was supposed to be kept a secret. She agreed whole heartedly and courageously walked up to Goten.
"Goten, maybe you can give me classes twice a day, I mean if it's not to much for you. Well, I thought maybe we could start with flying, even though I am totally psyched to start with the fighting and I really want to learn everything I can about it, but I think flying will help out a bit, don't you think??"
"That's true. Ok, I guess we can start off with flying, although I'm warning you, you wont get it the first time." Goten took Pan's arm and they levitated up off the ground. Pan squealed with delight and Goten smiled.
"I'm going to get you used to the airborne feeling, then I'll tell you what to do and when." Goten moved around a bit, checking Pan's face to see if she was able to handle the flight or not. She was actually smiling though, so after about 3 minutes, he brought her back down.
"That was so cool!! I can't wait till I can do it myself!!" Pan said excitedly. Goten liked the way she agreed right away to things and she was a good student.
"Okay, first of all, you have to concentrate all of your thoughts, I mean all of them on one single thought and then you have to believe you are taking flight. Imagine you're in the clouds or somewhere like that. You might want to get on the tree limb right there." Goten directed her to a medium high limb and she jumped onto it. Goten grinned, knowing that her saiyan abilities where just beginning to unfold. He got up on it with her and took her arm.
"Ok Pan, remember take deep breathes, relax and think of that one thought, pretend that you are already in the sky and it might just work magic for you." Goten let Pan relax and when he was sure she was relaxed and concentrating, he slowly lowered himself to the ground, obviously ready to catch her if she fell. Pan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and thought really hard and almost believed that she was dancing above the houses and buildings, she didn't even now when she jumped into the breezy air. She was trying to concentrate, but for some reason her thoughts kept going back to the thought of failure and she could almost see Goten's disappointed look. She opened her eyes and let out a small scream, right before her face met the ground. She sat for a while, in the moist ground with her head embraced in the soft grass. She felt very light, but embarrassed. She waited for Goten's laughter to come, but instead he helped her up with a helping hand. Her cheeks were burning and he took her hand.
"It's all right Pan! I told you, hardly anyone gets it at first! It took me like 8,000,000 tries to get it, but you're flexible and light, don't worry about not making it, and just focus on that thought. Don't feel like you'll never make it, with that kind of unhappy note it'll be impossible!! Just relax and be ready to try and remember, be determined, always think positive thoughts like, 'I'll fly or I'll make it!' It worked for me. Hear, I'll help you up, I'm always here for you. Oh and sorry I didn't catch you, I barely saw your tiny body when you screamed, my bad." Goten said goofily. Pan smiled.
"Thanks Goten, but do me a favor and just let me fall ok? I think it might make the smallest of difference. Ok I'll try again, this time, think Pan! Believe Pan!" Pan said to herself as again Goten went to the limb with her. She took a deep breath and again jumped, and again felt bad so she, of course, hit the ground, but ever so lighter. Goten kept giving her tips and telling her that she could do it and every time she hit the floor, he was by her side, again telling her to believe in herself and encouraging her to be conceited and think she was the best flyer in the world and nobody could beat her. Finally after about 20 different falls and different thoughts, Goten finally took Pan and went to the limb.
"Pan, I know you can do it! Believe and don't think of failure! You are a Son and Sons never think doubtfully for themselves. You have to make yourself believe with all your might that it isn't that hard to fly. I promise you that it will work if you think nice, relaxed thoughts. Now, believe you can fly, believe you can fly, and believe you can fly......" Slowly Goten got Pan saying the words and she felt good and relaxed.
'Ok Pan, at least get this for your Uncle Goten, I mean look at the poor guy, he's been there the whole time rooting you on and you have got to give yourself a break.......Do this for Goten, for Goten!! I can do thiiiiiisssssssss!!!' Pan thought as she again leapt into the air. She felt the wind hit her body and this time the nasty thoughts weren't as loud. She opened her eyes and was freaked out the seen the grass and she lost control. When she felt herself lowering faster and faster something inside of her exploding.
'NO!! NO YOU WILL NOT LET YOURSLEF BE HUMILIATED! YOU CAN DO THIS! BELIEVE PAN! YOU CAN DO IT! DO IT FOR YOU GRANDPA AND UNCLE! DO IT FOR YOURSLEF!!' Pan thought she was going to hit the moist ground again, but she was surprised to never even feel it. She opened her eyes and she was again shocked to see that she had actually lowered her self down right before she had compacted into the earth. She smiled very widely and her grin was unmistakably a very happy one. She ran over to Goten and gave him a 'High-Five' He smiled at his niece and gave her a water bottle.
"Well, that was great for the beginning!! I am really proud of you, you actually controlled you weight and power and defeated gravity! I think if you thought what you just thought before you landed face flat into the ground, you'll do great! I mean, at this rate only a few more hours of training and I you will be actually able to fly!" Goten said encouragingly to Pan, who was shining practically. They practiced for a whole hour and by every jump, she was getting better and better. By the end of their lesson, Pan was already levitating by bits of the ground. The highest she went up was about 4 feet and Goten was really impressed by her. They went and chilled outside and for the whole day the rested and prepared for the next lesson. It was a Saturday so they had a day off from school and they eat, went to swim and then they played Playstation 2. When it was like 6:30 and the sun was going down Goten decided to train again. Pan was more than excited to and they both went to their training 'room' and Goten gave Pan tips on staying away from airborne objects, he told her to stay out of human view and then he helped her actually levitate high off the ground. He helped her learn to steer in her own direction and he was really impressed by how relaxed she was. 'Natural from the genes.' Thought Goten. When he was sure she wouldn't get really dizzy, he took her on a little air trip and they went a little high in the sky, enough for Pan to get used to. Goten would take her higher later. Pan was exhilarated to be so high off the ground. She felt as light as a feather and as fast as Superman. Pan was all smiles. The continuing classes that Goten taught Pan in were consistent of training, in battle forms and stances. Pan was a very natural in martial arts and she powered up to an unbelieving first level. Goten taught her basic and tougher moves and dodges. She learned very instantly, Goten figured it was because she was actually saiyan inside anyways. In between lessons of more flying and fighting Goten would give Pan more tips on the ordinary lifestyle and unique talents. The lessons went on for about 2 weeks and by the end of the lessons Goten was stunned by how quickly Pan learned and he was equally shocked when she was able to power up and do counter attacks. He thought that his father could do her the honor of teaching her the Kamehameha because that was, in fact, his move and Goten knew his father would be proud. Goten was still astounded when Pan flew all the way across a river and over some mountains, he was training her for a world wide trip. She was beginning to be a major ass-kicker in fighting. Of course Goten could still beat her, but with her strength, abilities, and power, she was just at the tip of her pyramid. Goten knew she would do many great things and she'd make a lovely saiya-jin. Pan was ecstatic to hear that she was doing really well, it was her life long dream to hear that she was really good by someone who was stronger than her. Pan was overwhelmed by the fact that she could soar the sky and flip around doing extreme martial arts moves. When she heard about the Kamehameha, she was totally excited to actually learn it especially with her Grandpa, who sounded really cool and nice. Pan was so happy that when everyone at school saw her they raised their eyebrows in confusion and they thought that maybe she won the lotto, the way she was acting now a days. Whenever Pan was outside or inside, she always had the same smile on her face and the same achieving twinkle in her eyes. She thanked Goten and hoped that he would always get what he wanted in life. 2 weeks went by in a flash and before Pan even knew it, Goten was teaching her the special movements and attaches. She loved every second of her training time and when she was in the sky, she thought there was nothing like it. After their last practice before they actually went to Japan, Goten and Pan did some actual fighting. They fought for about 15 minutes, until Goten was satisfied and he decided that Pan didn't need anymore tips. She had her power in control and her abilities in check. The went up into the air and he did a medium Ki Blast, which she counter-attached nicely. He grinned and went to the surface, signaling that the fight was over. Pan flew down nicely, she was now a kind of pro at flying. When she thought pro, she meant she didn't have to hold anything or get dizzy while flying. Videl had recently called and asked when they were to come and if she should book them airline tickets, Goten told her not to worry about it and that he'd be seeing her soon. Videl told Goten that she was barely able to keep Gohan from blowing up the evil doctors office and when Gohan was face top face with the doctor, he punched him in the nose and kicked him a couple of times. Videl would not let Gohan do anymore damage, but Gohan swore that if the doctors did anything like that again, he would definitely kick some ass. He also said that they should thank his wife for being so kind to them after what the hell they put her through, and if it wasn't for her, he would kick their measly butts. Goten cracked up laughing when he heard that the stupid ass doctor actually got on his knees and begged for Videl's forgiveness. Goten had told Videl that him and Pan would be there soon, so he warned her to make a big feast, which she gladly said yes to.
"Uncle Goten, I am so nervous about flying all the way to Japan, I mean first of all I...I have only had 2 weeks to prepare and....and the flight is probably going to take a lot of energy outta me. And......what if your...I mean...our family doesn't....I mean...what if I'm not what they expected me to be....you know what I mean??" Pan said. She was staring off into space and Goten asked her to look at him telepathically *He also taught her how to read, talk, and signal in a telepathic way* Pan looked at her Uncle and relaxed a bit when she saw his embracing eyes.
"Don't worry about anything Pan. Why do you always think badly about yourself? Don't worry, I mean, you are so much like our family, I bet they wont even notice you were gone for 16 years. I bet you'll fit in perfectly! Have some confidence in yourself, believe me, if you think you will fit in, they will know that you are cool and relaxed about the whole, 'I'm meeting you all when I'm 16 instead of when I was born,' thing. Come on Pan, show some spirit, I know that you are a very bright person and you are going to be fine!" Goten said to Pan, making her feel better. Pan nodded and they went to their rooms to pack for their upcoming trip. Bra and Pan had spoken to each other more and now it felt that Pan had known Bra her whole life. They were really close and they already started telling each other secrets and other girlie stuff. Pan knew her and Bra would be friends forever and Bra had the same feeling. Bra had sent 10 suit case capsules to Goten and he helped Pan put her stuff in them. When they were all packed and signed out of Varanase High, they sat with their capsules and just watched the swans glide over the ponds peacefully. Goten kept reassuring Pan and when they thought it was a nice time to leave, they finally took flight. The first rush of air felt a little weird to Pan, but when they continued to gradually soar higher and higher into the sky, the light breeze felt good against Pan's forehead.
~*~*~At The Son Household~*~*~*
Videl looked around at all the guests and relatives. There was a whole bunch of people there, all chatting and waiting. Bra had informed them that Pan and Goten were on their way and they'd be there in almost no time. Marron, Uub, Trunks and Bra were all talking about how great it would be to finally see Goten again and meet this new girl, who Bra told them was extremely cool and friendly. Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Puar were all talking about Goku's granddaughter and son. Goku was in a very cheery mood and he kept trying to talk to Vegeta, who was in his usual corner. Piccolo was also in the opposite corner, he was talking to Gohan. All the ladies were in their usual 'Gossip Place' and Chichi and Videl were absolutely beaming. They were talking about what Pan must look like and whom she acted like. Everyone had brought gifts for the special girl *woman, lady, whatever!* The little reunion was getting pretty exciting when Bra got a call on her cell phone that Goten and Pan would be there in about 5 minutes. Chichi started pacing the floor. It was kind of silent, but really loud. Videl's heart was thumping wildly. Gohan and Goku sat down and felt the anticipation of the moment heat up. Everyone at once started saying things like, 'Oh, she's going to be wonderful!' Or, 'I bet she's a doll!'
Pan's heart started beating twice its normal rate when Goten looked at her and told her it would only be about 10 minutes more. They had been in the air for about 20 minutes now and Pan was really enjoying the view. She loved how the air wrapped around her body, making her feel really light. She liked how her body had a soft glow around it and when there weren't any clouds, she could perfectly make out the cities. She sniffed at the aroma of the air, it smelt bittersweet. She grinned as Goten took her hand and they both powered up to a very quick speed. Her hair blew all over and when her saiyan eyesight hit the sign that said 'Japan-2 miles' her whole body did a sort of twist that made her stomach feel knotted. Goten steered her in the direction North and they were in the mountains within a couple of minutes. Goten slowed down and looked at Pan.
"See that tiny little house in all of that green land? Well, that's our destination, that's our house!!" Goten tried not to make Pan nervous. Pan gulped and looked at the tiny little house by the little stream. The house was lit and she could make out tiny figures inside. Her stomach was jumping in all kinds of directions, when slowly Goten started tilting downward.
