Author's Note: Hehe! I finally finished all of the papers that I had to write and finals are over. *does a little happy dance* Okay enough of that. I want to say thank you to all of the wonderful people who have reviewed my story. You don't know how much is means to me. Anyway, enough mushy stuff. Also, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter Psylocke. I made sure that I got it out before the weekend just for you. As I have said before, I sadly don't own Dragonball or it's characters. If I did, not only would I not have to worry about going to college, because I would be dirty stinking rich! Trunks and I would be living happily ever after on our own little tropical island! So as you can see, since you are reading this fic. Trunks and I are not on a tropical island. But hey, you can't blame me for wishing now can you? Well, enough of my babbling. On with the story!

Trunks walked slowly back to his room. For the past hour and a half, he had been looking for Pan. He had no clue where she was. It was as if she vanished from the face of the earth. She must truly hate me now. Trunks thought sadly as he stopped in front of the door to his room. I have to find someway for her to trust me again.
It was then that Trunks heard a loud crash coming from Marron's room followed by a shout. "How dare you enter my room without my permission!?" Marron shouted.
"Whoa! Calm down Lady Marron. I only came in here to try to actually become friends with you." Uub's voice replied.
"Friends? You want to be friends? I'll give you friendship!"
A few seconds later there was a loud crashing sound. "Pan is going to kill you if you keep throwing and breaking all of her vases!" Uub told Marron
"Are they still yelling at each other?" a little voice said from behind Trunks.
Trunks turned around. Behind his was Ariana, holding a basket of sheets. "It would appear that they are. How long have they been bickering like that?" Trunks asked.
"Since before you and Pan left." Ariana replied. "Uub must really like her."
"How can you tell?"
"Easy! Why would he put up with her constantly yelling at him if he didn't." Ariana replied in a matter-of-fact voice.
Trunks smiled at the girl. "True. Tell me Ariana, have you seen Pan?"
Ariana shook her head. "No not since she left to visit her parents' graves."
Trunks nodded sadly. "Thank you anyway." It was then that he noticed how quiet things had gotten in the hallway. "I wonder why it's gotten so quiet?"
Ariana shrugged. "I don't know. I say that we go find out what is happening."
Trunks smiled again and extended his arm. "Lady Ariana, would you so kindly be my escort to Lady Marron's room?"
Ariana giggled and put her basket down on the ground. She bowed politely to Trunks. "Of course Prince Trunks. I would be honored to."
Trunks smiled as Ariana took his arm and he led her to Marron's room. They pressed their ears to the door but could hear nothing. "I say she killed him!" Ariana whispered as they stepped back from the door.
Trunks bit back a laugh as he slowly opened the door. Ariana could not have been farther from the truth. Marron and Uub were no where near killing each other. Instead, they were locked in a passionate kiss. "Looks like I was wrong." Ariana whispered.
"Come on. We'll leave these two alone. Who knows, maybe Uub will marry her so I don't have to!" Trunks replied with a smile.
With that Trunks closed the door and began walking towards his room. A few seconds later there was a loud slap followed by Marron's voice. "What do you mean by kissing me!"
"It was the only way that I could get you to shut up!" Uub's voice replied.
Trunks looked at Ariana. "I think that this would be a good time to disappear. How about you?"
Ariana nodded and the two quickly left the hall.

Vegeta stood in the thrown room, with the mysterious man who had been spying on both Trunks and Pan, at his side. "Are you positive?"
The spy nodded. "I saw both Prince Trunks and the Outlaw the Green Dragon. They were together near Twilight's Kingdom."
Vegeta though a moment. Twilight's Kingdom? If they were at Twilight's Kingdom, then that means the girl is…of course! Why didn't I see it before? She is the grandbrat of Duke Son. Vegeta looked at the spy. "Good work." Vegeta then walked over to his desk and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.
He jotted down a note and handed it to the spy. "Take this to my captain of the guards. He will know exactly what to do with it."
The spy nodded and took the parchment. With a bow he was gone. It was then that Bulma entered the room. She was curious of what her husband was up to. "Vegeta?"
"What woman?" Vegeta asked.
"What was that all about?"
"One of my most trusted spies found our brat and the ones who kidnapped them. Just as you said, if we gave them some time."
Bulma looked shocked. "What are you going to do?"
"Send a legion to get them back. This time I will personally head them. To make sure that once and for all the Son family is finally out of my hair!" Vegeta replied with a smirk.
Bulma shook her head and left the room without a word. If she was going to help her son and daughter, she was going to have to find a way and find it fast.

Trunks sat on the top of one of the main observation towers in Twilight's Kingdom. He sighed to himself and watched as the clouds passed by in the sky. It had been three days since he had last seen Pan. She somehow managed to avoid him.
Trunks was beginning to miss their constant bickering. Pan was one of the smartest girls that he had ever met, second only to his sister, although he would never admit that to Bra. There was something about Pan that intrigued him. He didn't know what it was yet but he wanted find out what it was. If only she would give him a chance to make the fact that he wasn't there when she needed him the most.
"Two riders approaching!" Thomas shouted snapping Trunks out of his thoughts.
Trunks sat up and pulled his mononocular out from his belt pouch and glanced in it. He instantly recognized one of the two riders. "Open the gate Thomas!" Trunks called as he tucked his mononocular back into his pouch.
Thomas obeyed and the two riders entered the main courtyard of Twilight's Kingdom. Trunks quickly climbed down from the tower and went to greet the riders. Before he could there was a loud shout. "Mom!" Bra shouted as she sprinted out of one of the doors to the courtyard.
Queen Bulma dismounted from her horse and gave her daughter a huge hug. "Oh Bra, I missed you."
"I missed you too Mom." Bra replied as her mother let her go.
"I'm glad that you are okay. Where is your brother? He's not hurt is he?"
"No Mom. I'm fine." Trunks replied as he walked into the courtyard and greeted his mother. "Why are you here and how did you know how to get here."
"I will explain everything when I get to talk to Pan. Where is she?"
Trunks shrugged. "I haven't seen her in three days."
"I know where she is. I'll go get her. Go to the dining hall and I will have here meet you there." Thomas called from the top of the gate.
"Alright, please tell her to hurry. We don't have much time." Bulma replied as her son and daughter led her into the manor.
***
Shortly after Bulma and the others sat down at the table in the dining hall, Pan entered it. She walked over and bowed politely to Bulma. "Greetings you majesty. To what do we owe this honor of a visit?" Pan asked, her voice filled with respect.
Bulma smiled at Pan. "I should have known that you were Gohan's daughter when I first saw you. You look so much like him and your mother Videl. Sadly today, I did not come for a visit of friendship. I came to warn you that in four days time, my husband will arrive here with a legion of his army to get back Bra, Trunks and Marron."
"He can have Marron back!" Uub muttered under his breath.
Marron who had been sitting beside him smacked him on the arm. "One day I hope to see you beheaded!" she hissed at him.
"I'll make sure that you are the one before me." Uub replied.
"Will you two please shut up!" Bra growled.
Both Uub and Marron instantly shut up. Bra then turned to her mother. "What if we don't want to go home with Daddy? Personally, I love it here."
Goten, who was sitting beside Bra, smiled and took her hand. "We love having you here."
Bra blushed and kissed Goten on the cheek. As soon as Bulma saw this she began gushing. "Oh, I knew that this would happen someday! I am so happy. So you two when is the wedding?"
"Uh…wedding?" Goten squeaked.
"Good question. When are you going to ask me to marry you?" Bra asked, enjoying the fact that Goten was squirming.
"Wedding? Marriage? Is it just me or is the room spinning?"
"Enough you two. We have more important matters to deal with. Bren!" Pan shouted.
"Yep Pan?" Bren asked as he hurried into the room.
"I need you to go find Richard. He is the one who is in charge of my men. Tell him that the King is about to attack us and we will need his help." Pan explained.
Bren nodded. "Yes Pan. Right way."
With that Bren rushed out of the room. Pan stood up. "I must leave you now. One of the servants will take you to your room your Majesty."
Before anyone could say a word. Pan left the room. "Sorry about Pan. She is usually more friendly that that." Goten explained.
Bulma shook her head. "It's all right. You don't have to explain her actions. She has led a hard life."
Goten smiled. "Well, Uub and I better go. She will need out help to plan out the defense of Twilight's Kingdom."
Bulma nodded. "Go on. I have matters to discuss with my son and daughter."
"In that case. Marron should go to her room." Uub said grabbing Marron by the arm.
Marron growled at him but allowed him to pull her to her feet and out of the room.
Goten nodded and bowed to Bulma, Uub did the same. Before Goten left he gave Bra a kiss. A few seconds later, the two men left with Marron in tow. "What do you have to discuss with us Mom?" Trunks asked as soon as the others had left.
"Trunks, you father is to the point of obsession wanting Pan dead. You were able to save her life once before and with my help. I am sure that you will be able to save her and her friends again." Bulma explained.
It was then that the second rider stepped out from their place in the shadows of the room. "Mom? What's Christian the scroll keeper doing here?" Bra asked.
"We are going to need his help to pull off my plan." Bulma replied. "Is there a place where we may talk in privet? I don't want anyone else but the four of us to know about this."
Trunks nodded. "We can go to my room. We should be fine there."
With that the four of them left the room to plot a way to save Twilight's Kingdom.
***
Pan stood on top of the gate and watched for any signs of Bren. She was sure that he should be with her men by now. What's taking so long? Pan thought. Bren should be back by now. Pan sighed to herself and sat down with her back against the stone wall about the gate. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
"Panny?" a voice asked, snapping Pan out of her thoughts.
Pan opened her eyes to see Goten sitting down beside her. "Hello Uncle. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be courting the Princess Bra?"
"Nope. She is busy with her mother, something about trying to save Twilight's Kingdom. She has locked herself in her brother's room with Trunks and Queen Bulma, since Bulma arrived here." Goten replied.
"Good! Maybe they will decide to leave so the King won't be able to send his legions to kill us all. Like he did to our parents and in my case grandparents." Pan muttered.
Goten sighed. "Pan, you are going to have to learn to forgive and forget."
"I can't Goten. I can't."
"Yes you can. If you did, it would prove that you are a bigger and better person that the King was."
Pan let out a dry laugh. "You make it sound so easy. You really do Uncle. But sadly that's not the way that it is. I can't just forgive and forget. I won't until I have made Vegeta suffer as I have."
"And then what Panny, huh? What are you going to do after you have made him suffer?"
Pan looked at him blankly, but remained silent. "That's what I thought. You are letting too much hate build up in you Pan. Soon you will be nothing but an empty shell." Goten told her.
"You don't understand."
Goten glared at Pan. "I don't understand huh? Well, incase you have forgotten Pan. You aren't the only one who lost your love ones when Twilight's Kingdom was attacked. I lost my mother, father, brother, sister-in-law and now it seems that I have lost my niece also."
Before Pan could say anything in reply. Goten stood up and climbed down the latter that was a few feet away. As soon Goten was gone. Pan began crying. Knowing that everything Goten had just told her was the truth.
