~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I sit on my bed, wrapping the covers around me. I had spent the week at Bulma-San's house, and I missed the smell of my own home. I am all warm and toasty. Dad always keeps the air condition on high. Mom said something about Saiya-jin blood being hotter than human's. I can understand that. I always seem hot. Even when it snows.

Life is good. I'm getting married to the best guy there is, he also happens to be one of the strongest guys there is, I'm part of an alien race, and my Grandpa was, no is the strongest fighter in the whole universe.

I sigh. Ojii-Chan left us all when he absorbed the Dragonballs. I truly felt like I would die. But, no one knew the promise Ojii-Chan made me. Out in space, on that little octopus shaped ship, after Trunks-Kun and Giru had long fallen asleep, I sat up crying. Truth is, I was a whiny person. I hated to be treated like a kid, and I often made rash decisions that later I regretted to prove that I wasn't. I was hurt, though, because no one ever treated me like I was a teenager. I was always "Small Panny-Chan who can't help." The only one who liked me as a friend was the little robot that we met in space named Giru. And I think he respected me partially out of fear. Well, anyway, I was crying for that very reason. I never was treated like one of the gang and I was only traveling with Ojii-Chan because I was a stowaway. I didn't think anyone was awake. But Ojii-Chan was, and he heard every heartfelt sob that escaped my throat. I felt tiny arms wrap around my shoulders, Ojii-Chan was still chibified during that certain point of the quest. I froze. Had he heard? I asked myself. And what a dumb question it was. Of course he heard. Why else would he have his arms around me? My lips crinkled and I and began to cry more. He didn't even ask why. He just…comforted me. And him and I have been extremely close since then. Well, until he left that is. But before he went back to sleep that night, he held me close and whispered in my ear.

"I promise Panny. I promise that you will be happy. I promise."

After he left, I wondered how that could possibly be true. Ojii-Chan never makes promises he can't keep.

Then I realized another way for joy.

Love.

And although it was tough, I got what I wanted, and I'm truly happy.

I am shaken out of my reverie when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I stiffen. I can sense ki and suppress it better than anyone. How could this person sneak up on me? It's not Otousan is it? I thought him and mom went out of town! I turn around slowly, just to come face to face with Obsidian eyes. It's dark in my room, considering it is nice so all I see are his eyes, which seem to glow.

I recognize them slightly.

"Otousan?" I ask not entirely sure.

"Iie," a carefree voice rings out.

That's all it took.

"SCREECH!"

I jumped up from my bed and ran downstairs, tripping over just about everything in my path. Including that nasty balled up carpet fuzz.

I stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen.

I knew who the stranger was, but wasn't he dead? And didn't ghosts have some evil spirit in them?

Now that I think about it, I'm acting kind of dumb. My Ojii-Chan has come back to life more than I can count. And here I am worrying about his ghost? I chuckle at my self stupidity.

"Ojii-Chan?" I call out.

I hear a light chuckle.

A lone tear makes its way down my face.

Once again I feel those arms wrap around my shoulders, but they are much bigger now.

I begin to cry, heart wrenching sobs of happiness. Trunks must have felt my emotion through our bond because he was there about 2 seconds later.

He took one look at my Ojii-Chan and smiled.

I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck. He his so much taller than me that I have to stand on my tiptoes. My sobs die down, and I smile. Trunks begins to laugh.

I look at him, ready to kick his ass if I need to, "What's so funny?"

"I heard your little screech," he said smugly.

Trunks knows I hate to act scared or girly so I blushed.

Ojii-Chan on the other hand snorted indignantly. ((heh heh cute mental picture.))

"Little screech? Psh, the whole house shook!"

I laugh and and squeeze my grandpa all the harder. He kept his promise. And I love him for that.

A/N: Sorry so short. I absolutely adore Pan and Goku's relationship. It is so kawaii! Well, here are some side notes. Pan in GT really hates being treated like a kid, and Giru was the only one who really treated her like she was normal, even if it was out of fear. Pan did cry over it, but I made up the little scene where Goku woke up and comforted her. Okay, on to the dedications, then the gifts!

Jami_Chan: It's okay! I don't mind! Your support makes me happy! Yeah I felt like strangling Kenny too, but I'm over it. He/She (I have no idea if it's a girl or boy, the name seems boyish but you can never be too sure) seems like they have the potential to be nice if they stopped flaming people for no apparent reason. Well, over and out! Thankies!

Fluffy: Okay Fluffy, I hope Kenny read it too, but he hasn't reviewed. You have gotten a little gift from me. You said you wanted a Cuddly Trunksie-Chan. Well, I hope you don't mind him being chibi….

Eris, Queen of the Shadows: SOUTHERN PEOPLE ROCK! No offense to you Northerners. I'm going to Atlanta this year for a youth convention. And here is the next chapter! I'll get the next one out soon! Thank you!
Gohan's Angel: Texas is cool. My mom and dad and older brother were born there, but me and my baby brother was born here in LA. Accents aren't bad it's just I like to clarify that I don't have one, because I think I'd look funny if I did. ^_^ Thankies!
Go-Chan: It's getting good? YAY! You like Romance/humor, eh? I'll have to try to write more. ^_~ Thankies!
B-Chan: Heh heh. My main flatterer! I understand you not being able to review, but I'm living! *sniffle* you guys are so great! *Hugs all of the reviewers…including Kenny* Eh heh heh. ^^;;;;; Thanksies!
Lienye: I'm so sorry! I was hoping to disgust Kenny, but it looks like I disgusted you as well. Sorry! I didn't know you were a vegetarian. I'm not, I love meat. But I don't eat anything other than pork, beef, turkey, ham, chicken, and sometimes (very seldom) deer. I hate eating rabbits, squirrels, FISH (NASTY!), and any other animal that is gross. ^^;;;; probably for you all animals are gross. To eat that is. ^^;;; well thankies! I'll try to lay low on graphic meat eating!
