Trunks opened the door to the car, picked up his sleeping fiancé, and carried her into the house. When he walked in, he saw two half awake, half saiya-jin, adult sitting on the couch arguing.

Trunks rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't you two be sleeping?"

"Not when he makes fun of my food!"

Goten ran and hid behind Trunks, "It tasted like plastic!"

Trunks turned his head slightly, "since when do you care about how your food tastes?"

"Since now," Goten snorted.

"Well, as you can see, Pan is asleep, so I need to put her to bed. You two do what ever please, but I'm warning you..." he glared at his best friend and his sister, "if there are any stains when you're done you'll both need to clean it up!"

Goten and Bra blushed.

***************************************

Trunks walked into Pan's room and laid her down. She moaned as if in pain. He pulled down her bed covers, and tucked her in. After kissing her on the forehead, he left to go sleep.

*************************************************

The next morning, Trunks seemed to be uncomfortable and in a rush. "By Bra!" He shouted running out the door, "Take good care of Pan for me!"

Bra rolled her eyes, "Bye big brother!"

Suddenly, Goten came running out of the hallway much like Trunks had.

"How! What's up with Pan??" Goten asked hiding behind the couch.

"What do you mean?" Bra asked.

"She's acting really weird!"

Pan came marching down the hall. Her hair was messy, she was wearing her bathrobe, and she had rings under her eyes, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"

"Pan!" Bra gasped looking at her friend, "What happened to you?"

Pan shook her head, "I was up all night puking my guts out, that's what."

Goten looked at her, "From a hangover?"

"No," Pan responded, "I didn't drink, it didn't taste right to me last night."

Bra's eyes widened, "Pan, I want you to go get dressed, and then drive yourself to the doctor. I'll call Trunks and tell him to be on stand by if you can't get back on your own."

Pan slouched, "I don't wanna."

"MARCH YOUNG LADY!"

Pan turned and slowly walked into her room, "Meanie!" she spat and ran into her room like a five your old running away from her mother.

Bra shook her head, then grabbed Goten by the caller and ran into the kitchen, "I think I know what's wrong with Pan!" she shouted.

Goten looked at her.

Bra grinned, "But I never thought my brother would be so bold..."
**************************************

Pan sat in the waiting room of the doctors office. The only other person there was what looked like a tried mother and her two year old daughter. Pan smiled at the two. The girl was so cute. Pan could feel her cheeks flush when she heard the nurse call her name.

"Son Pan?"

"Here!" Pan said wabbiling to her feet. The nurse led her into the next room, while the woman with the child smiled knowingly at Pan.

"Okay," the doctor said holding up a needle, "I'm going to draw some blood to see what's wrong with you."

Pan shivered, "Okay."

The doctor drew some blood, and sent the sample down to the lab. He turned to Pan and said, "Okay, I need to see another patient, you wait here and I'll be right back."

*******

Pan waited for what seemed like years (and you almost never know, it might have been).

Suddenly, the door opened and her doctor walked in, she looked at Pan and smiled, "We got your results."

Pan got a worried look on her face, "What is it?"

*************************************

Trunks sat, slumped over and daydreaming at his desk. He hardly noticed the phone ringing. In fact, he didn't until he felt a pain, and the phone started to yell, "Pick me up!"

Trunks scrambled to pick up the phone, "Yes,... hello?"

His secretary answered, "You have a message from the local doctor's office. They said you need to get there right away."

"Oh Brother!" He shouted, "It's Pan!"

***************************

Goten and Bra paced in the living room waiting from Pan to come home and confirm their prediction.

"Do you really think?"

"Yes I do Goten for the 100th time..."

"I hope your wrong."

"Why? They'll be okay."

"I just..." Goten sighed, "I shouldn't even think that for Trunks. It selfish of me... but..." he looked down to the floor.

"Keep going Goten," Bra said looking into his eyes, "I wanna know why that would bother you."

"I just..." Goten looked at the floor, "Have you ever just assumed that when you had something happen to you for the first time, that your best friend would have it happen to them for the first time, at the same time, too?"


"You mean..." Bra gestured to make her point without saying the forbidden word.

"No!" Goten half laughed, "I really don't mind that. I don't mind it at all, it's just... I always figured we'd have the end result happen to us for the first time, at the same time. So everything could turn out like with me and Trunks."

Bra looked at him, "Ohh Goten... I..."

"Don't," Goten said turning his head, "It's stupid."

"No, it's not," Bra said turning his face to hers again. "I always assumed me and Pan... and maybe even Marron would go through that at the same time. But when I figured this out for Pan and Trunks, I decided that there was always next time. Remember, your brother didn't have anyone like Trunks to hang out with as a kid. Exept Krillin and Mr. Piccolo. Maybe Pan's just gonna be like her dad."

"Really?" Goten asked, blushing, "I guess we hold a similar dream then Bra. And I hope we all go through this all at the same time too. I'd love to see your kids, I bet they'll be wonderful..."

Bra smiled and sucked in a breath, "Maybe you'll have to be there. Maybe, just maybe, it will be at the exact same time..."

Goten looked at Bra, "What..."

Bra's face glowed red, "Nothing..."

Goten smiled, "You.... me....?"

Bra giggled nervously. Of all times for Goten to get a hint, "Yeah..."

Goten leaned in to Bra. His breath caught with hers, and the next thing either knew, they were kissing. Right there on the couch.

**************************************************

Trunks ran into the doctor's office, and run to the desk, "I'm here to get a Miss Son Pan?"

The nurse took his arm, "Right this way..."

She opened a door to reveal a pale Pan, sitting on the floor over a garbage can, puking her guts out.

Trunks knelt down and kissed Pan on the top of the head. "Are you okay?" he whispered in a concerned voice, to her hair.

Pan finished and wiped her face, "Trunks," she whispered, sighing, "We need to talk... badly...."

"Okay dear," Trunks said sliding an arm under her legs and lifting her into the air. "Whatever happened, I promise it'll be okay..."

Pan slowly began to close her eyes, "Yes," she whispered, "Everything will be more than fine..."

He took her down to the car and opened the passenger side, he set Pan down, and then walked to his side of the car.

When they were almost home, Pan noticed a park and pointed out the window, "Trunks! Go there!"

"Whatever you say," Trunks said, turning the car and parking.

They started to walk, hand in hand by the river. Trunks could tell there was something different about Pan. Fearing she was trying to enjoy her final moments... Trunks spoke up, "Pan, what happened at the doctors office that you were throwing up like that?"

Pan smiled at him, "Shock."

Trunks stopped and made her face him, holding her firmly by the shoulders, "What happened? Are you okay?"

Pan looked directly into his eyes, "I'm fine."

Trunks narrowed his eyes, "Then why would you be in shock."

Pan narrowed hers to mock him. She knew he'd be as surprised as she was when he heard... though, he might not react the same way. "Because. What showed up on my blood test I didn't see coming, and never expected."

Trunks released his eyes slightly, "What's wrong Pan? If it's not bad, and you never saw it coming, and it made you throw up? What's the secret?"

Pan smiled and released his hands from her shoulders. She moved in closer to him, rested her chin on his shoulder, intending to whisper in his ear. At the same time, she took his left hand in her right one. She turned his palm to face her and placed it on her abdomen, "This," she whispered, "This is the key to my secret."
