Chapter 6
Choices to be made
"At peace huh? Since when can anything in this world be at peace?" Bra chuckled.
Pan smirked,
"Well…for me, this is peace. All my life I've traveled and had to fin for myself. Not anymore." Pan smiled.
"Well good. I'm glad you've found peace." Bra said.
"Arigato." Pan moved her chair closer to Bra, and made room for Trunks and Goten. "It's about time you guys! You took longer than we did!"
"Yea? Well we went back to sleep for a few." Trunks growled.
"Whatever, come on. Let's just hurry and get out of here. I don't like all these people staring at my tail." Pan mumbled.
"Oops…I wasn't thinking about that when I got these out fits." Bra said sheepishly.
Pan snorted,
"You weren't thinking? What a surprise." Pan mumbled, (S.T.) to herself.
Vegeta happened to walk by at that moment,
"Baka!" He growled at her, (S.T.)
"Oh…finally up Veggie?" Pan asked, (S.T.) "I'm not a baka, you should have to know that if you're going to stand to see me bond with Trunks."
"It would be better to see you bond with him, rather than a pitiful human." Vegeta said, (S.T.) crossing his arms.
"True." Pan smirked.
"What's true?" Bra asked.
"Nothing." Pan answered, "I'm finished."
"Me too. Come on, we'll wait for the guys in the Courtyard." Bra said.
"Okay…we'll be out there soon." Trunks said.
"Right." Bra rolled her eyes. "Sayonara Tousan."
Bra kissed her tousan's cheek then pranced off with Pan. Pan laughed,
"You are totally sucking up to him." She said.
"Nani!? I am not!" Bra argued.
"Hai…you are." Pan said.
"Ugh! You are impossible!" Bra threw her arms in the air. (Note* Remember that line? Mirai Trunks said that to Vegeta, while trailing his father. Remember now? Can't remember if there was a 'totally' in there.)
Pan smirked,
"Hai…I am." She then sat down on one of the benches.
Bra sat next to her and lay her forehead in her palms.
"I have a question for you." She said.
"Honto." Pan said in return.
"What was it like being raised by someone you knew wasn't your tousan, or kasan?" Bra shifted her stare to Pan's face.
Pan was surprised by this question,
"Well…It was, different I guess." Pan stuttered, "I'm not sure, I wasn't raised by my tousan or kasan, so I wouldn't know how different it was."
"I mean…were they kind? Did they show you they cared?" Bra asked.
"Iie…saiyajins don't know kindness." Pan said bitterly. "They can't show people that they care."
"Hai they can!" Bra snapped, "I've seen it! My tousan shows me that he cares. Goku shows everyone kindness."
"Kakkarrot is an imbecile!" Pan snickered, "He doesn't remember being a saiyajin; and your tousan…well he's gone crazy, this world has done something to him; and it seems to be doing something to me."
"Even you have shown kindness…and you've shown just how much you care for Vi-chan." Bra said.
Pan's head snapped up,
"How can you get care out of me almost killing her?" She barked.
"You didn't almost kill her…I did." Bra said.
"Iie! I could have stopped it." Pan returned.
"You didn't do it! You knew that we could handle it! After what Jami said…you ran off, that alone shows how much you care." Bra snarled.
Pan jerked her head back, she was grateful only her tousan and Jami had heard that tape. But Bra was right…saiyajins could show kindness, and they could show that they cared.
"Hai…I suppose you are right. Saiyajins are capable of showing kindness, and just how much they care." Pan said, "But the saiyajins that raised me were different. They didn't know the sort of kindness you know. So the couldn't show it to me. I knew that sort of kindness, because once I myself was shown it."
"By who?" Bra pressed.
"Most say that a saiyajin's memory can go back to the day it was born." Pan explained, "Well it's true, I remember the love that my kasan showed me, before she sent me to the orphanage. Only through her love, can I myself show love."
"Would you ever go back to them if they returned?" Bra asked.
"I…I don't know."
"Has she found them?" someone asked.
"Hai…she has been living with them for more than two months." Another answered.
"Can we return to her now? She is close to bonding with a pitiful human." A different person asked.
"It's not a human you baka! Feel the power! It has to be a saiyajin." Someone barked.
"She still deserves more than a lowly third class." The other crossed his arms, "can we just get to her?"
"Hai…she has had her fun."
Pan smiled and leaned into Trunks' kiss. Trunks smiled back before breaking their kiss,
"Um…konichiwa." Trunks purred.
"Konichiwa." Pan smirked. "Where's Veggie?"
"With kasan." Trunks rolled his eyes.
Pan nodded.
"I…" Pan stopped as she felt a familiar ki.
"Iie! They can't come back now!" She said aloud, (S.T.)
"Who?" Vegeta asked, (S.T.)
"Ugh! Toria and the others." Pan answered, (S.T.)
"They're back?" He asked, (S.T.) Vegeta searched for their ki.
"Hai. They just landed." Pan sighed, (S.T.)
What's wrong? Trunks asked.
"Nothing." Pan smiled at him.
"You guys are bonded now." Vegeta smirked, (S.T.)
Trunks stared at Pan surprised,
"What do you mean Veggie?" Pan seethed, (S.T.)
"He didn't say anything. You two already share thoughts." Vegeta answered, (S.T.)
"Oh…" Pan smirked, So I suppose you can hear me then huh?
"Of course I can." Trunks said.
"Can what?" Bra asked.
Never mind Trunks. I'm not talking! I'm only thinking we've bonded.
So you mean that my tousan can read my kasan's thoughts? Trunks asked.
Hai, Unless she is trying to hide them. Pan answered.
Wow. Trunks smiled, So tell me now what's wrong?
My foster family is here. Pan looked down.
Nani!? What are you going to do? Trunks asked.
I don't know…
"Okay…you two are freaking me out. What is wrong with you two?" Bra demanded. It's like they can read each other's thoughts!
I'd like to be able to read yours…Goten thought.
"Nani!?" Bra turned to him. "You heard that?"
But how?
We've bonded, Goten gave her the goofy Son smile, that a problem?
Iie. Bra smiled.
"Okay! You four love birds! Can it!" Bulma ordered, "Now…Pan what is wrong?"
"My foster family have shown up." Pan answered.
Gohan and Jami had just joined them, and the two gasped,
"Well…let's not worry about it now. We'll worry about it after lunch." Bulma said.
"What are you going to do?" Bra whispered to Pan.
Does everyone have to ask me that? Pan wondered.
Hai.
Pan yelped.
Ugh! This is going to take getting used to.
Trunks smirked.
You know what? I would like to learn the saiyajin tongue.
Pan stared at him,
Really (?) Well, have your tousan teach you. But what would be the point?
Then I would know what the two of you were saying. Trunks answered.
You could just ask me… Pan scowled.
That would take to much time.
Pan scowled again and turned to Bra,
"All of you will at some point ask me that question, so…" Pan waited for everyone to look at her, "What I will do…is go find my foster family, and talk with them."
Gohan stepped forward, fear on his face,
"You aren't leaving are you?" He asked.
"Iie…I'm not. I want to ask them where they have been; and why they are just now returning." Pan answered.
Relief spread on Gohan's face and he smiled,
"May I make one request?" He asked.
"You are my Tousan…sure." Pan answered.
Guess what it is.
Trunks looked at her,
That you not go…
He chuckled.
"Take Trunks with you…and these two." Gohan said.
He pointed to Bra and Goten,
Will Vegeta let them go? What if my foster family wants to fight?
She'll be fine…
"That is fine…" Pan said, she looked at Vegeta "You don't mind if we take her do you?" She asked (S.T.)
"Iie…you just take care of her." Vegeta answered, (S.T.)
Pan smirked,
"As long as us three are around her…she will be fine." She said, (S.T.)
What'd you say?
Pan jumped,
Sugoi! You'd think I was used to you by now. Pan crossed her arms, I was just making sure he didn't mind for Bra to go.
Oh.
Pan went over to Jami and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder,
"I promise to come back…and if you don't mind I want to go by Capsule Corp. and take Mum with me." Pan said quietly.
Jami's face paled,
"Why?" She asked.
"Mum is very strong…if we do get into a fight, she would be of much help." Pan explained, "I taught her well, and I would die before seeing her get hurt."
Jami smiled,
"I know you would, and I believe you taught her well; and I trust you." Jami said, "You…take care of my baby."
Pan smiled,
"I promise." Pan said.
Gohan smiled at Pan and put an arm around Jami's shoulder,
"Bring our daughter back in one piece…and yourself too." He said.
"I will." Pan smirked. "You guys ready?"
Bulma frowned and crossed her arms,
"You guys aren't even going to get to hear my speech!" She whined.
Pan chuckled,
We've heard it a thousand times!
Heh…I've heard it more.
ChiChi scowled,
"Bulma! Leave the children be!" She growled, "For Dende's sake tell your children good luck!"
Goku scratched the top of his head in a confused manner,
"Um…Pan's our grandchild right?" He asked.
Everyone in the group face faulted, Bulma chuckled,
"Well…you guys hurry back, maybe you'll catch the end of my speech." She said, "And for Dende's sake be careful!"
"Kasan!" Bra whined.
Hopefully we wont catch the end.
Trunks! It's your kasan's speech!
Hai…and you can't deny that you wouldn't mind to miss it.
Well…ugh! Come on.
Pan jumped in the air and was soon followed by the other three.
"Ja!" Bra yelled.
They all received simple Ja's from the others and were soon out of sight.
"Pan…what if they do decide to fight?" Bra asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Pan asked, dang…I'll have to fight in a dress!
Hai, but you look good in a dress.
Ahh! I don't know if I'll ever get used to this, Pan sighed.
"Well…will you be able to fight them?" Bra explained.
"Of course, if they think that I should leave with them, then start a fight. Then they should know that I'll just fight back." Pan answered.
Bra nodded and looked across at Pan's clothes, then at her own. Their black skirts blew rapidly in the wind as they flew steadily on. Bra's hair was flowing behind her, and was soon irritating Pan and her. Bra ripped a long piece of cloth from her shirt and messily tied her hair in a ponytail. Pan did the same and the two smirked at each other.
The five soon came along the ship and landed in front of it. Pan felt her heart beat quicken as a new feeling of anger arose within her. These people dared to leave her stranded for two years then all the sudden show up? She tore the end of her skirt off and kicked her shoes aside. She crossed her arms, waiting impatiently for the saiyajins to emerge.
And they emerged at that moment. The ship's latch lowering in agonizingly slow motion. All five became restless and when they were faced with the four saiyajins. Pan felt her mouth begin to lower, and she gritted her teeth,
"Why are you here?" Pan demanded, (S.T.)
Toria looked taken aback,
"We said we'd come back for you." She growled, (S.T.)
"Yea…after you abandon me." Pan spat, (S.T.)
*****
What'd ya think? Should I make them fight? Or should it all be okay and I end it? Let me know! And SORRY for taking so long with this.
