"So how far is this 'village' thing you keep talking about?" Pan asked before taking another bite out of the meat Arrow had cooked. She had went hunting when she had left earlier and killed a deer like creature. She took it back and skinned it, then she cooked the meat for her and Pan to eat.
"Well, it's not too far from here, but far enough." Arrow snorted and continued to eat, she wasn't use to having company to talk to while eating meals.
"Why do you live there?"
"You like asking questions don't you." Arrow smirked and shook her head. "I don't live there because I'm not a pure Saiyan."
"Oh." Pan said thoughtfully. "Then…what are you?" Arrow sighed and laid her food down.
"My father is a Saiyan, but my mother was a Tsufuran, the people that lived here before the Saiyans took over." She explained and was about to pick her food back up, Pan was about to ask another question but Arrow stopped her. "This world was once called Planet Plant, the Saiyans and the Tsufurans lived here peacefully until the damn monkeys decided to attack and kill off most of my mother's kind. They did captured women from some of the cities, some were turned into slaves and the others were well…raped. My mother was one of the unfortunately women and was impregnated by my father, Ragusta. She died giving birth to me and left me in the hands of one of her friends. I was basically born into slavery until…"
"Until what?" Pan asked curiously.
"Nevermind, I don't want to talk about it." She quickly said and changed subjects. "Before we head out into the city tomorrow, you should know a few things." She began and then finished her food. "First off, Saiyans are not nice and they have this thing about staring at you. I just ignore them and you should try to do the same. Be sure to not wonder off or the same thing will happen to you as my mother. Just stay near me and do not start anything with them."
"What are we going to do there? I don't remember who I am or where I came from."
"My guardian will know, Cela. She is the one who took care of me when I was little, she is an elder in the village and she'll know who you are." She said and yawned. "I'll tell you more in the morning, you don't mind sleeping on the cot again, do you?"
"No, it's better than the floor." Pan laughed and Arrow just shrugged it off as she got ready for bed.

"Bra, is the coast clear?" Trunks said his watch-com.
"Yes you idiot, Marron's already down here…where the hell are you?" She replied back.
"Just getting a few things, I'll be right down." He said and turned it off. Trunks sighed and looked around in his room, seeing if he had forgotten anything. He was so deep in thought that he didn't see the dark figure in the doorway until he turned to leave.
"What in the hell are you and Bra doing?" A voice barked causing him to freeze and turn a few shades paler than he should have been. He never replied. "Answer me, boy." His father demanded as he stepped closer to him. Vegeta looked down at what Trunks was holding and raised an eyebrow. Trunks sighed and realized that there was no way of getting out of this.
"Pan is gone, she is lost in the past somewhere and Bra, Marron and I are going to rescue her." He said truthfully and glared back up at his father.
"So you are risking not only your life but Marron and Bra's as well, just to save Kakkarot's grand-brat?" He laughed dryly. "That's one of the most idiotic ideas ever. I highly doubt you know anything about time travelling or how to lead a rescue mission."
"What? And you do father?" Trunks said challenging him. "I want Pan back, unharmed. Bra and Marron were the ones to suggest us rescuing her. Now will you get out of my way?"
"You know nothing of what I can do. You also lack common sense and I believe you will somehow alter our dimension or create a different one. I rather keep this dimension how it is." Vegeta snorted but continued. "Just do not screw up and your sister had better be in perfect health when you return." He warned him and finally left rubbing his forehead. Trunks stood there a little shocked, but came to his senses when he remember that his father could change his mind. So he hurried downstairs to his mother's lab and met Bra and Marron.
"What took you so long?" Bra demanded when he greeted them.
"Dad." He said and her eyes widened. "Yeah, but he let me go. I don't think he will tell mom or anything, but if we are going to leave we need to go now." He said and walked over to a hidden room where his mother kept all her top-secret experiments. He punched in the code and let the security system check his fingerprints. After it confirmed that it was him, Bra and Marron followed Trunks inside and to a large replica of Mirai Trunks' time machine. "Everyone sure they want to do this?"
"Yes." The girls nodded and Trunks smirked. He opened the hatch and helped them in the large machine.
"So Trunks, how safe is this thing?" Marron asked wearily as she buckled her seatbelt, totally securing her to the seat.
"Do you trust me, Marron?" He said and stared into her eyes. She melted under his glaze and reluctantly nodded. "Then don't worry." He smiled and got situated himself. Bra sat down by Marron and then reached down into her handbag, that she had carried with her. Then she handed Marron a magazine after she buckled up too. Trunks just shook his head as he prepared the machine for take off. "Well, there's no turning back, ladies." Trunks joked and pushed the ignition button. In a matter of seconds, they were gone.

The following day…
"Arrow, wake up!" Pan had to resort to yelling in her ear since nothing else seemed to work. Arrow sat up in alarm, colliding with Pan's forehead in the process. Both of them cried out in pain.
"Oww, what the hell do you want?" Arrow groaned clutching her forehead as she got out of bed. She noticed that it was still dark outside and glared at Pan. "What time is it?"
"I don't know. Around four-thirty." She replied casually and also rubbed her head. Arrow's mouth dropped and she just blinked.
"Y..you got to be kidding me." She managed to say, Pan just raised an eyebrow at her. Arrow sat back down on the bed.
"What's the matter, I have always gotten up this early." Pan smiled and went over to the stove, where she had been fixing them breakfast. "I went out and found us some editable fruit and made us breakfast." Arrow just stared at her still shocked as Pan pointed to the food she had prepared.
"So you are telling me that you went in the woods by yourself before you woke me up at four-thirty in the morning and that you have also fixed us breakfast." She said and rubbed her forehead when Pan nodded cheerfully.
"What's wrong?" She frowned at Arrow's reaction.
"This is the earliest I've been up in my entire life, that's what's wrong." She moaned out her reply as managed to climb back out of bed and left to take a shower, leaving Pan standing there. She just shrugged and ate her portion of food.
*Who is this Arrow girl and what is so secretive about her past? What will happen later in the day when her and Pan visit the Saiyan village? Find out in the tomorrow's chapter, 'Remembrance'. As always to my readers: please review! It gives me the motivation to write and I'm always open for ideas. ~Marron
