"Mama!" Pan cried waking up from another one of her nightmares she usually had. She sighed in relief once she realized it was only a dream. Her body was covered in cold sweat. She got out of bed and walked down hall to bathroom and turned the ice cold water on and splashed her face washing the sweat off.
"Pan are you still awake?" A voice called from the hall.
Pan opened the door up and saw her father Gohan standing there. "I had another nightmare." She explained.
Gohan frowned. "You have been having a lot of those lately, I think I may need to take you to a psychiatrist."
"Dad no!" Pan screeched. The last thing she wanted to be doing was visiting someone who treated you for being insane.
Gohan sighed, "Well ok, I'll let it go for a little while but if these keep up you'll have to tell me. Now you need to go to bed, you have school tomorrow."
Pan walked back into her room and breathed. Ever since the death of her mother when she was seven years old her dad always wanted to take her to a therapist because of her mood changes.
As Pan laid down into bed the memory of her mother's death replayed in her mind.
****flash back begins****
"Pan-chan are you ready?"
Pan looked up at the bubble gum pink haired woman who was her mother Chibi Usa. "Ready Mama."
Chibi Usa held up a pure silver crystal and a void in front of her opened. The crescent moon marking on both their heads glowed. They were going to enter a sub space where they could train. Pan and Chibi Usa stepped inside the void. It was dark and eerie and quiet that it sent chills up Pan's spine. Chibi Usa put the silver crystal up on top of a pole where it glowed lighting up the space they were in which made Pan feel more comfortable. Then Chibi Usa closed the void. They both then got into a fighting stance.
"Pan do you want to make the first move?" Her mother asked.
Pan knew what to answer. If she said yes that would have given her opponent the advantage. "No Mom I don't."
"I have taught you well." Chibi Usa joked laughing.
Chibi Usa punched towards Pan who tilted her head away from it. They began a series of punches and kicks that normal humans would never be able to see because they were so fast. Chibi Usa was going easy on her daughter because Pan was no where near her power level and she wanted her to get better.
"Pan you need to focus some more." Chibi Usa ordered. "You need to concentrate on your opponents moves and your own at the same time."
Pan pouted a little.
"Well I guess we can take a little break. We've been at this for almost two hours." Chibi Usa smiled. One of her favorite things to do was train her daughter in martial arts.
Chibi Usa and Pan sat in the void.
"Mom, how old were you when you met Dad?" Pan asked innocently.
"We were both in High School. Why do you ask?" Chibi Usa replied.
"Well there's this boy at school and I kind of like him." Pan blushed.
Chibi Usa laughed. "Are you thinking about getting married already?"
Pan blushed some more.
"Well who is he?" Chibi Usa questioned seeing her daughters embarrassment.
"He's on the soccer team were kind of just friends right now." Was all Pan said.
"You're a little too young to be dating and plus your father would have a fit." Chibi Usa giggled some more. "Are you hungry? There's a refrigerator in here and we can get some lunch."
Pan nodded and Chibi Usa got up and left the area. Pan then turned her head towards the Silver crystal which glowed with purity. It looked so beautiful to her. Pan stood up and walked towards it. Her eyes were fixated to it. Very carefully she reached up and took it off the pole. Pan was so mesmerized by it that it took her awhile to realize that the void was shaking violently!
"Pan!" Chibi Usa screamed running back to the area where she was.
Pan tearfully stumbled over to her mother dropping the silver crystal. "Mom what's going on!" she cried.
The void began to slowly collapse. With in minutes it would crush both the mother and her daughter. Chibi Usa covering up Pan, crawled over and grabbed the Silver crystal and tried to open the void. Unfortunately the void was now so dense that it would take a lot more power to open it up. Chibi Usa raised the power on the crystal. Very soon she realized that she was going to have to go all out in order to open it. She would never escape but Pan could. Chibi Usa raised the power on the crystal so high that it was almost blinding to have your eyes open. The void opened only a little bit.
"Pan crawl through!" Chibi Usa ordered.
"But Mom, what about you!" Pan protested.
"I won't make it, in order to open this up I have to go all out with my crystal's power!" Chibi usa explained. "Go! I can't hold this much longer!"
"No I can't leave you!" Pan cried with tears spilling out from her eyes.
Chibi Usa had to kick Pan out of sub space just to save her. "Good bye honey! Take care!" Once Pan was through the void closed.
"Mama!" Pan screamed and then broke into violent sobs.
****End of flash back****
Pan rolled over in her bed and cried. The dragonballs couldn't bring Chibi Usa back because technically sub space wasn't in their universe. Neither of the dragons could bring a life back that perished in a different world.
The next day after school, Pan walked home with her friend Bra..
"So how did you do on that math test." Bra asked a little disgusted.
"I think I may have failed it," Pan replied. "My mind was else where."
"Yeah I may have gotten a C or D, but we'll have to wait and see." Bra added.
Marron then approached the two girls. "Hey where are you two headed?"
"Were going to my house." Pan informed.
"Hey can I come with you guys." Marron pleaded.
"Of course you can, Trunks said that he was going to at Goten's house all day and that's right next to Pan's." Bra giggled.
Marron blushed. "No it's not that!"
"Oh come on Marron, it's so obvious that you like him!" Pan squealed. "Don't worry he likes you too."
Marron was now beet read with embarrassment.
Once they arrived at Pan's house, Bra and Marron got a snack and Pan went to the family room to get the movie they were going to watch. Gohan wasn't home because he was still at work. While searching for the video, Pan came across a tape labeled "Chibi Usa". Curiously she got it out and called Bra and Marron to the room.
"Chibi Usa? Wasn't that your mom's name?" Bra asked once she inspected the tape.
"Yes it was." Pan answered sadly.
"Hey let's watch it." Marron said. "We'll be able to see Pan's mom again."
Just before Pan put the tape in the VCR the doorbell rang.
"Hang on a minute." Pan grumbled to Bra and Marron and walked to the door. When she opened the door Goten and Trunks were standing out side. "What do you guys want?"
"Goten for got his key so can we hang out here?" Trunks questioned.
Pan looked at them both in disbelief. "What do you really want?"
"Actually I need to borrow something from Gohan, could you get him for me?" Goten explained.
"He's not home right now." Pan announced. "What do you need maybe I can get it."
"Pan what's taking so long?" Bra could be heard coming down the hall. Once she caught site of Trunks she frowned. "What are you doing over here!"
"Hey can't a guy spend quality time with his little sister?" Trunks teased and Bra just rolled her eyes.
Marron then came down the hall to see what was going on. Once she caught site of Trunks at the door, she blushed. "So when are we going to watch the movie?"
"What are you girls watching?" Goten asked.
"We found a tape that has Pan's mother's name on it," Bra replied.
"Chibi usa!" Trunks exclaimed. "You wouldn't mind if we watched it with you?"
"Sure come on it!" Pan squealed before Bra could react.
All five of them sat in the family room in front of the TV and Pan put the tape in.
The movie opened up in a city park with a bunch of High School kids hanging around. It panned all over the park till it reached the legs of a woman and panned slowly up her body revealing that it was Chibi usa in her teenage years.
"Hey I remember this." Goten said. "Gohan filmed this when his class took a trip to Tokyo. Mom wanted him to bring the video and he reluctantly agreed."
Chibi usa began walking down a path in the park and the camera slowly followed from the side. In the background, talking and laughter among the students could be heard.
Chibi Usa finally realized that she was being filmed and squealed, "Gohan what are you doing turn that away I look terrible!" she laughed.
Pan shivered at hearing her mother's voice.
"No you don't you look great." Gohan commented from off the screen laughing also.
Chibi usa blushed at hearing that.
"Well aren't you two the couple of the day?" An smug female voice was heard off screen.
The camera turned and focused on another teenage girl, with black hair in two pony tails on the side of her face then it went back to Chibi usa.
"Videl w-" Chibi usa began but suddenly disappeared from off the screen as if she were not even there in the first place!
A gasp could be heard from the room the five kids were in.
"What happened?" Pan asked a little worried.
The camera on the screen panned back to Videl. "Oh come on Chibi Usa you two
are way to obvious!."
Pan then began to fade! "Ah!" she cried and tried to hold on to her life.
"Pan!" Goten screeched and tried to grab a hold of her.
The entire room lit up with a bright inferno white light engulfing them all making them close their eyes because of the brightness.
When everyone reopened their eyes, they discovered that they were in another place including Pan.
"What happened?" Trunks asked a little dumbly.
"You are at the gates of time." A woman's voice spoke.
All five of them looked and saw a dark green haired woman wearing a Senshi fuku and holding a large staff. A serious look was on her face.
"Sailor Pluto?" Pan asked.
"Sailor Pluto? Who's she?" asked Bra.
"She's the guardian of time and one of my mom and grandma's friends." Pan explained. "Pluto how come you brought us here?"
"I have brought you hear because there has been a disturbance in time." Pluto replied.
"A disturbance in time? What do you mean?" Marron questioned.
"A demon from this time has gone back in time and eliminated Chibi usa when she was in her teen years." Pluto informed. "Pan is now not supposed to exist anymore."
"What? That's impossible, if they went back in time and killed Chibi usa, only the Chibi usa in that time would have been killed." Goten argued.
"This demon, his name being CAIN, has been able to manipulate time. He can even change our time line in both the future and the past." Pluto explained.
A gasp was heard from all five of them.
"What can we do about this!" Pan began to cry.
"There is one solution that might work." Pluto spoke. "I can send you five back in time. Then you will need to watch Chibi usa and make sure nothing happens to her. What CAIN wants is the silver crystal and he knows that in this time, some power levels are too strong for him."
"So what do we do if this CAIN guy shows up?" Trunks asked.
"That's what I'm worried about right now." Pluto hesitated. "I haven't even calculated when he'll show up. I have a time bar on Pan so she can still exist for a while longer. And this will only work once."
"And what if we fail?" Goten questioned.
"Then Pan will be removed from this time and CAIN will have hold of the silver crystal." Pluto replied. "And Pan, when you go back it's best that you don't let Gohan or Chibi Usa see you or you could upset the time stream."
"Why am I going back if I can't even do anything!" Pan complained.
"CAIN is prone to some Lunarian attacks that Chibi usa hasn't developed yet." Pluto explained. "If he does attack, you may need to jump in. You being 1/4 Lunarian will allow you to use them since Chibi Usa taught them to you in her later years."
Pan nodded.
"Are you ready?" Pluto asked.
All five nodded. Pluto opened two large doors which behind them was a bunch of nothingness.
"All of you hold hands, it is very possible to get lost in time." Pluto warned. "And concentrate on the time you wish to go to."
Marron blushed once she realized that Trunks had grabbed her hand. They all walked into the doors and were gone from their time.
"So which high school did my parents attend again?" Pan asked once they arrived.
"Orange star High." Goten replied. "Hey you know what, classes start tomorrow."
"We need a hotel to stay in while we're here." Marron pointed out.
"Ok here's what we do, Goten, Pan and I will go rent a hotel, and Marron and Bra will go register for high school." Trunks ordered.
"Wait a minute, I'm too old for high school." Marron pointed out.
"And I'm too young." Bra added.
"We'll we need someone to attend Gohan and Chibi usa's classes and you two are the closest things we have. You'll just have to lie about your ages." Trunks replied.
With that, each of them headed their own ways.
The next day, the five of them were up for the first day of high school. Pan sat out side of the school behind a bush watching as the students entered. Bra and Marron had already headed to their classrooms. Pan watched as her father as a teenager sped towards the school crossing paths with Chibi usa almost running into her.
"Oh I'm sorry miss." Gohan apologized and then blushed when he caught site of the girl.
"It's ok." Chibi usa replied. "Hey your Gohan?"
Gohan looked up at her a little confused. "Do I know you?"
"Don't you remember me? I was that little girl you used to play with when we were younger." Chibi usa laughed.
Gohan thought for a moment. "Chibi usa! Is that you! Where have you been all this time?"
"My mother, her friends, and I have been traveling to different planets around the universe liberating them from the Dark Kingdom." Chibi Usa explained.
Gohan took a good look at her. She had changed a lot. Chibi usa had filled out nicely, and was very beautiful. She wore blue jeans and a red tank top and she no longer wore her hair up in her odangos. Now it hung down to the center of her back.
"You know, we better hurry or we're going to be late for class." Gohan reminded. He and Chibi usa sped off inside the building.
Pan sighed as she watched the scene that had just taken place. It was strange watching your parent's first meeting as if you were an audience. Good thing Pluto had given them all anti sensors or Chibi usa and Gohan would have sensed her power level by now.
Bra and Marron took a seat next to each other in class and both witnessed Gohan and Chibi usa rush into class late. They didn't sit next to each other or anything. There were only two seats left. Gohan sat in the front and Chibi usa sat in the row behind him next to a girl named Videl.
"Did you hear about the golden fighter?" A student behind Bra and Marron commented.
Marron sighed. It was back to high school for her and it wasn't exactly thrilling. A teacher arrived and began their first lesson.
Trunks was in the school office and was able to get employed at the last minute as a student service worker. He didn't like the way he had to get the job. Last night he had to injure the person who originally had the job enough so that he couldn't work. If it would save Pan it was worth it though. He did need to make plans for Bra and Marron and he could keep a watch on Chibi usa. Right then he made a phone to the Chiba residents.
Goten didn't have much to do. He hung out over the school and would watch Chibi usa when she had out door gym class or if she left the school for any reason. Another thing he had to do was watch for CAIN.
When school ended for the day Chibi usa flew home. "Mom I'm home!" she announced once she walked through the door.
"Hello Chibi usa." Usagi greeted happily.
Chibi usa walked to the kitchen for a snack and was surprised to find two girls from her class there. "What are you two doing here?"
"The school supervisor called and asked if they could board with us since they're from out of town." Usagi explained. "And I told him yes."
Goten, Trunks and Pan watched from outside.
"Good thing that worked ok. Now we can possibly have a 24 hour watch on Chibi usa." Trunks relieved.
That night Goten, Trunks, and Pan were in their hotel getting ready for bed.
"I'll be in the shower if you guys need me." Pan announced and shut the door to the bathroom.
Goten and Trunks sat on the beds drinking pop and eating snacks. Trunks was on the phone talking to Bra about how things were going so far and Goten was watching TV
"How long is she going to be in there?" Goten questioned after Trunks had hung up with Bra.
"Who knows. She's a girl." Trunks answered.
Soon enough, Pan got out of the bathroom dressed in her pajamas.
"Pan were going to go to bed now." Goten announced.
Pan surveyed the room and saw the mess Goten and Trunks had made with their snack bags and pop cans. "Oh no you don't! Not until you clean this mess up!" she ordered angrily.
Trunks and Goten shrunk back and then got up to clean moaning about how tired they. Pan climbed into her bed and fell asleep.
The next day, the second day of school started.
"Marron!" Bra squealed. "What are you still doing in bed! We have school!"
"But I was up most of the night watching Chibi usa." She groaned with a sleepy tone. "Besides I'm not really here to get an education just go ahead of me."
Bra sighed and headed out the door to catch up to Chibi usa.
Bra sat in her seat during class. 'Where are you Marron class is going to start in five minutes!'
The bell then rang. Almost a minute later Marron stormed into the classroom. Her hair was badly tangled and her clothes were crooked with her shirt on inside out. Brown circles had formed under here eyes and had a look of fatigue. She basically looked a mess.
"Marron you are late!" The teacher scolded.
Marron didn't say anything and took a seat at her desk.
"Good thing Trunks isn't here, he'd freak out if he saw you!" Bra teased in a low whisper.
"Shut up I'm not in the mood!" Marron whispered back. "That's the last time I take night shift!"
By gym class, Bra and Marron discovered that neither of them had the same gym teacher as Chibi usa. That meant Goten had to supervise her. Unfortunately her gym class had swimming that day.
Goten watched nervously as the girls dove into the water. It was almost impossible to concentrate with all the girls wearing their bathing suits.
"Hey Goten!" A voice whispered.
Goten turned and saw Pan.
"What are you looking at?" she laughed.
Goten blushed. "Pan what are you doing here!"
"I want to see my mother!" defended her self.
"This isn't a good time." Goten told her.
"Come on, one quick look won't hurt." Pan pleaded.
"Well ok, make it quick though." Gohan gave in.
Pan looked around the bush and saw her mother talking and laughing with a friend of hers. She smiled at seeing this. For the first time in many years, she got to have a good look at her mom. Chibi usa's head turned a little towards her. Pan quickly ducked back behind the bush.
"Goten I think she saw me!" Pan yelped.
Goten sighed. "Get out of her then! I knew this was a bad idea!"
Pan didn't have to be told twice. She fled away from the swimming pools.
"Hey Chibi usa, what are you looking at?" her friend Momoko asked.
"I thought I saw someone familiar peeking out from that bush." Chibi usa said.
"Well you're up." Momoko reminded.
Chibi usa sighed, swimming wasn't exactly one of her best sports.
"Ah!" a girl screamed as Videl spiked the ball towards her. Videl was one of the best volley ball players at the school. She had a very hard spike that would frighten the girls on the other team.
"Our team's up." Marron announced to Bra.
A girl named Erasa on the other team had the first serve. Bra bumped it back to the other side. Another girl who they didn't know retrieved it and hit it back. Someone else on Bra and Marron's team bumped it back over to Videl. Videl got ready for her spike. Once the ball got close enough to her she pounded it back over the other side. It was coming towards Marron! Marron dove and retrieved it and knocked it backed over to the other side. Everyone breathed deeply. No one had ever had the courage to go after one of Videl's spikes, not mentioning bumping it back over to the other side!
This angered Videl and hurt her pride. She ran in front of the girl who the ball was headed for and smacked it back over at Marron. Marron again went for it and knocked it back over. Videl got more angry and charged after it again and spiked back at Marron who then realized what was going on.
'All right you want to play rough do you?' thought Marron.
She then spiked it back over again and Videl charged for it. Soon Videl and Marron dominated the court each bumping or spiking the ball every time it came to their side of the net. The gym teacher didn't even bother stopping them because she knew how tough Videl was. On the last bump back over, Marron hit the ball so hard that it popped in the air. Videl wasn't able to spike it back over and the ball fell to the court floor.
Marron had surprised herself. Never in her entire life did she remember being that aggressive and competitive. It almost scared her.
Videl looked towards the swimming pools so she would make eye contact with Marron. Once she looked, she saw a man watching the girls swimming class! Videl charged over to the pools.
"Hey what do you think you are doing you pervert!" Videl screamed aggressively.
Goten looked up at the angry teenage girl. "Um I was um..."
"Just what I thought! You have three seconds to get out of here before I beat the crap out of you!" Videl warned.
"I can't leave! I have to watch someone!" Goten made a mistake.
"You pervert! Who are you working for!" Videl roared. "That's it your going to get it."
Videl got into a fighting stance. This made Goten nervous because he didn't feel comfortable fighting girls. Videl sent a punch towards him which Goten blocked easily. This angered her and she through a kick. Goten ducked from it so he wouldn't embarrass her.
'Gotta get out of here!' he thought and took off for the air.
"Hey get back here you coward!" Videl yelled at him. 'Dang another person who can fly.'
Goten now had to watch the gym class from the top of the school. It nearly killed him that he didn't think about someone else possibly spotting him.
Gym ended and the students were back in class.
"Gohan let me see your notes." Chibi usa stated.
Gohan looked at her. "What do you need them for?"
"We have a quiz today and I didn't study." Chibi usa explained.
Gohan passed her his notebook and Chibi usa frantically studied.
A watch on Videl's arm beeped and she spoke into it and got the news that a bus had been hijacked.
"Ma'am may I please be excused?" Videl asked.
"Oh go right ahead." The teacher gave permission.
"Ma'am, may I use the restroom?" Gohan asked once Videl had left.
"Alright but hurry up." Was the teacher's reply.
Chibi usa knew where he was going, she felt a little jealous that he was going to be aiding Videl.
"Should one of us follow?" Marron asked Bra.
"No were supposed to be watching over Chibi usa not Gohan!" Bra hissed.
When school ended, Gohan and Videl had returned from their battle.
"Chibi usa do you want to go to that restaurant over there?" Bra asked her. "Marron an I are going."
"Sure I'd love to go." Chibi usa replied.
Bra then caught site of Gohan. "Gohan, were going to a restaurant, wanna come with us?"
Gohan looked at them, "Yeah I'll come." He agreed.
Marron pulled Bra aside. "What are you doing!"
"I'm speeding things up here," Bra explained.
Marron sighed. "Ok let's just go."
Bra, Marron, Gohan, and Chibi usa sat at a booth. Bra had even made sure that Gohan and Chibi usa ended up sitting next to each other. Marron went up to the counter to order.
"So when did you two first meet?" Bra asked curiously.
"We met when we were much younger, probably when we were both about three." Gohan replied.
"Yeah we used to play together when we were young." Chibi usa added.
Marron returned with the orders.
"Hey you guys are in my class." A voice announced.
They all looked and saw Videl. "Mind if I sit with you?"
"No not at all." Chibi usa answered before Bra could tell her no.
Videl squeezed into the seat next to Gohan. "So what are you guys doing here?" she asked trying to make conversation.
"We came to eat!" Bra replied a little aggressively.
"That's nice." Videl said dully.
"Damn it! That girl ruined my plans this afternoon!" Bra complained that night before she and Marron went to bed.
"Bra you really shouldn't rush this." Marron warned
"Rush what?" Chibi usa who had just entered the bed room asked.
"Nothing," Bra said.
A week went by and nothing much happened, Gohan and Chibi usa flirted with each other a little bit but that was all. Their relationship was moving too slow for Bra who was getting frustrated. She and Marron took turns on who was going to have night shift. Trunks and Goten even took it once. None of them would let Pan take it though because if CAIN attacked they would need her in top condition. On a Tuesday afternoon all of them sat in the hotel room having a conversation.
"Well this is going good so far." Trunks complemented. "So far we haven't spotted CAIN."
"And we've done a pretty good job of keeping an eye on Chibi usa." Goten added.
"Does Setsuna know when CAIN will arrive?" Pan asked in a worried tone.
"Don't worry she's working on it." Marron tried to comfort her.
"I'll tell you one thing, her and Gohan's relation ship is moving way too slow for me!" Bra put in.
"Bra we can't move them that fast," Marron had warned for the 100th time it seemed. "We can't upset the time stream."
"Ah!" Pan screamed. Everyone turned and saw that she was fading again!
"Hey what's happening!" Gohan screamed and tried to grab on to Pan as if that would stop her from fading.
"Wait a minute, if we're all here, then who's with Chibi usa!" Bra reminded frantically.
"Crap! Marron you go to the school and look for her, and Goten will look around the city for her. Bra you stay here with Pan!" Trunks ordered.
Marron rushed inside the school. After school clubs, activities, and study groups would be going at this time. She broke into the first door.
"Chibi usa!" she cried. Chibi usa wasn't in there.
She flew to the next door and opened it, no Chibi usa. She charged into the bathroom, no Chibi usa.
Goten flew around the more northern part of the city. He looked in allies, abandoned houses, pools, shops and restaurants. Chibi usa wasn't in any of them. Soon he was faced with Trunks.
"I picked up her power level, she's at the park, go to the school and tell Marron." Trunks informed.
"Ah! Paper cut!" Chibi usa complained looking at the blood flowing from her index finger. She cleaned it off with a tissue and got back to her drawing.
"Hey Chibi usa," Gohan greeted from behind.
Chibi usa turned her head. "Hello Gohan."
"What are you drawing?" he asked curiously.
Chibi usa blushed, "Nothing!" she shrieked crouching up and holding her drawing book close to her.
"Oh come on show me." Gohan begged.
"It's nothing I swear!" Chibi usa blushed some more.
Gohan snatched the drawing book from her and flipped through the pages. "Hey these are pretty good, what are they?"
Chibi usa's face got redder. "Wedding dresses, I plan to get married some day."
It was Gohan's turn to blush.
"Awe, they're so cute!" Marron commented from a distance. "To bad Bra is missing this!"
Trunks sighed, "I wonder why Pan started to fade away, Chibi usa wasn't in any danger."
"It's a mystery," Goten added.
"Marron you stay and watch them, Goten and I will go back to the apartment and tell Bra and Pan that everything is all right." Trunks instructed.
"Awe don't you think they'd want their privacy?" Marron said mischievously.
"Marron." Trunks warned.
"Hey I'm just kidding!" Marron laughed.
End of part one.

............................................................................................................
"Mama!" Pan cried waking up from another one of her nightmares she usually had. She sighed in relief once she realized it was only a dream. Her body was covered in cold sweat. She got out of bed and walked down hall to bathroom and turned the ice cold water on and splashed her face washing the sweat off.
"Pan are you still awake?" A voice called from the hall.
Pan opened the door up and saw her father Gohan standing there. "I had another nightmare." She explained.
Gohan frowned. "You have been having a lot of those lately, I think I may need to take you to a psychiatrist."
"Dad no!" Pan screeched. The last thing she wanted to be doing was visiting someone who treated you for being insane.
Gohan sighed, "Well ok, I'll let it go for a little while but if these keep up you'll have to tell me. Now you need to go to bed, you have school tomorrow."
Pan walked back into her room and breathed. Ever since the death of her mother when she was seven years old her dad always wanted to take her to a therapist because of her mood changes.
As Pan laid down into bed the memory of her mother's death replayed in her mind.
****flash back begins****
"Pan-chan are you ready?"
Pan looked up at the bubble gum pink haired woman who was her mother Chibi Usa. "Ready Mama."
Chibi Usa held up a pure silver crystal and a void in front of her opened. The crescent moon marking on both their heads glowed. They were going to enter a sub space where they could train. Pan and Chibi Usa stepped inside the void. It was dark and eerie and quiet that it sent chills up Pan's spine. Chibi Usa put the silver crystal up on top of a pole where it glowed lighting up the space they were in which made Pan feel more comfortable. Then Chibi Usa closed the void. They both then got into a fighting stance.
"Pan do you want to make the first move?" Her mother asked.
Pan knew what to answer. If she said yes that would have given her opponent the advantage. "No Mom I don't."
"I have taught you well." Chibi Usa joked laughing.
Chibi Usa punched towards Pan who tilted her head away from it. They began a series of punches and kicks that normal humans would never be able to see because they were so fast. Chibi Usa was going easy on her daughter because Pan was no where near her power level and she wanted her to get better.
"Pan you need to focus some more." Chibi Usa ordered. "You need to concentrate on your opponents moves and your own at the same time."
Pan pouted a little.
"Well I guess we can take a little break. We've been at this for almost two hours." Chibi Usa smiled. One of her favorite things to do was train her daughter in martial arts.
Chibi Usa and Pan sat in the void.
"Mom, how old were you when you met Dad?" Pan asked innocently.
"We were both in High School. Why do you ask?" Chibi Usa replied.
"Well there's this boy at school and I kind of like him." Pan blushed.
Chibi Usa laughed. "Are you thinking about getting married already?"
Pan blushed some more.
"Well who is he?" Chibi Usa questioned seeing her daughters embarrassment.
"He's on the soccer team were kind of just friends right now." Was all Pan said.
"You're a little too young to be dating and plus your father would have a fit." Chibi Usa giggled some more. "Are you hungry? There's a refrigerator in here and we can get some lunch."
Pan nodded and Chibi Usa got up and left the area. Pan then turned her head towards the Silver crystal which glowed with purity. It looked so beautiful to her. Pan stood up and walked towards it. Her eyes were fixated to it. Very carefully she reached up and took it off the pole. Pan was so mesmerized by it that it took her awhile to realize that the void was shaking violently!
"Pan!" Chibi Usa screamed running back to the area where she was.
Pan tearfully stumbled over to her mother dropping the silver crystal. "Mom what's going on!" she cried.
The void began to slowly collapse. With in minutes it would crush both the mother and her daughter. Chibi Usa covering up Pan, crawled over and grabbed the Silver crystal and tried to open the void. Unfortunately the void was now so dense that it would take a lot more power to open it up. Chibi Usa raised the power on the crystal. Very soon she realized that she was going to have to go all out in order to open it. She would never escape but Pan could. Chibi Usa raised the power on the crystal so high that it was almost blinding to have your eyes open. The void opened only a little bit.
"Pan crawl through!" Chibi Usa ordered.
"But Mom, what about you!" Pan protested.
"I won't make it, in order to open this up I have to go all out with my crystal's power!" Chibi usa explained. "Go! I can't hold this much longer!"
"No I can't leave you!" Pan cried with tears spilling out from her eyes.
Chibi Usa had to kick Pan out of sub space just to save her. "Good bye honey! Take care!" Once Pan was through the void closed.
"Mama!" Pan screamed and then broke into violent sobs.
****End of flash back****
Pan rolled over in her bed and cried. The dragonballs couldn't bring Chibi Usa back because technically sub space wasn't in their universe. Neither of the dragons could bring a life back that perished in a different world.
The next day after school, Pan walked home with her friend Bra..
"So how did you do on that math test." Bra asked a little disgusted.
"I think I may have failed it," Pan replied. "My mind was else where."
"Yeah I may have gotten a C or D, but we'll have to wait and see." Bra added.
Marron then approached the two girls. "Hey where are you two headed?"
"Were going to my house." Pan informed.
"Hey can I come with you guys." Marron pleaded.
"Of course you can, Trunks said that he was going to at Goten's house all day and that's right next to Pan's." Bra giggled.
Marron blushed. "No it's not that!"
"Oh come on Marron, it's so obvious that you like him!" Pan squealed. "Don't worry he likes you too."
Marron was now beet read with embarrassment.
Once they arrived at Pan's house, Bra and Marron got a snack and Pan went to the family room to get the movie they were going to watch. Gohan wasn't home because he was still at work. While searching for the video, Pan came across a tape labeled "Chibi Usa". Curiously she got it out and called Bra and Marron to the room.
"Chibi Usa? Wasn't that your mom's name?" Bra asked once she inspected the tape.
"Yes it was." Pan answered sadly.
"Hey let's watch it." Marron said. "We'll be able to see Pan's mom again."
Just before Pan put the tape in the VCR the doorbell rang.
"Hang on a minute." Pan grumbled to Bra and Marron and walked to the door. When she opened the door Goten and Trunks were standing out side. "What do you guys want?"
"Goten for got his key so can we hang out here?" Trunks questioned.
Pan looked at them both in disbelief. "What do you really want?"
"Actually I need to borrow something from Gohan, could you get him for me?" Goten explained.
"He's not home right now." Pan announced. "What do you need maybe I can get it."
"Pan what's taking so long?" Bra could be heard coming down the hall. Once she caught site of Trunks she frowned. "What are you doing over here!"
"Hey can't a guy spend quality time with his little sister?" Trunks teased and Bra just rolled her eyes.
Marron then came down the hall to see what was going on. Once she caught site of Trunks at the door, she blushed. "So when are we going to watch the movie?"
"What are you girls watching?" Goten asked.
"We found a tape that has Pan's mother's name on it," Bra replied.
"Chibi usa!" Trunks exclaimed. "You wouldn't mind if we watched it with you?"
"Sure come on it!" Pan squealed before Bra could react.
All five of them sat in the family room in front of the TV and Pan put the tape in.
The movie opened up in a city park with a bunch of High School kids hanging around. It panned all over the park till it reached the legs of a woman and panned slowly up her body revealing that it was Chibi usa in her teenage years.
"Hey I remember this." Goten said. "Gohan filmed this when his class took a trip to Tokyo. Mom wanted him to bring the video and he reluctantly agreed."
Chibi usa began walking down a path in the park and the camera slowly followed from the side. In the background, talking and laughter among the students could be heard.
Chibi Usa finally realized that she was being filmed and squealed, "Gohan what are you doing turn that away I look terrible!" she laughed.
Pan shivered at hearing her mother's voice.
"No you don't you look great." Gohan commented from off the screen laughing also.
Chibi usa blushed at hearing that.
"Well aren't you two the couple of the day?" An smug female voice was heard off screen.
The camera turned and focused on another teenage girl, with black hair in two pony tails on the side of her face then it went back to Chibi usa.
"Videl w-" Chibi usa began but suddenly disappeared from off the screen as if she were not even there in the first place!
A gasp could be heard from the room the five kids were in.
"What happened?" Pan asked a little worried.
The camera on the screen panned back to Videl. "Oh come on Chibi Usa you two
are way to obvious!."
Pan then began to fade! "Ah!" she cried and tried to hold on to her life.
"Pan!" Goten screeched and tried to grab a hold of her.
The entire room lit up with a bright inferno white light engulfing them all making them close their eyes because of the brightness.
When everyone reopened their eyes, they discovered that they were in another place including Pan.
"What happened?" Trunks asked a little dumbly.
"You are at the gates of time." A woman's voice spoke.
All five of them looked and saw a dark green haired woman wearing a Senshi fuku and holding a large staff. A serious look was on her face.
"Sailor Pluto?" Pan asked.
"Sailor Pluto? Who's she?" asked Bra.
"She's the guardian of time and one of my mom and grandma's friends." Pan explained. "Pluto how come you brought us here?"
"I have brought you hear because there has been a disturbance in time." Pluto replied.
"A disturbance in time? What do you mean?" Marron questioned.
"A demon from this time has gone back in time and eliminated Chibi usa when she was in her teen years." Pluto informed. "Pan is now not supposed to exist anymore."
"What? That's impossible, if they went back in time and killed Chibi usa, only the Chibi usa in that time would have been killed." Goten argued.
"This demon, his name being CAIN, has been able to manipulate time. He can even change our time line in both the future and the past." Pluto explained.
A gasp was heard from all five of them.
"What can we do about this!" Pan began to cry.
"There is one solution that might work." Pluto spoke. "I can send you five back in time. Then you will need to watch Chibi usa and make sure nothing happens to her. What CAIN wants is the silver crystal and he knows that in this time, some power levels are too strong for him."
"So what do we do if this CAIN guy shows up?" Trunks asked.
"That's what I'm worried about right now." Pluto hesitated. "I haven't even calculated when he'll show up. I have a time bar on Pan so she can still exist for a while longer. And this will only work once."
"And what if we fail?" Goten questioned.
"Then Pan will be removed from this time and CAIN will have hold of the silver crystal." Pluto replied. "And Pan, when you go back it's best that you don't let Gohan or Chibi Usa see you or you could upset the time stream."
"Why am I going back if I can't even do anything!" Pan complained.
"CAIN is prone to some Lunarian attacks that Chibi usa hasn't developed yet." Pluto explained. "If he does attack, you may need to jump in. You being 1/4 Lunarian will allow you to use them since Chibi Usa taught them to you in her later years."
Pan nodded.
"Are you ready?" Pluto asked.
All five nodded. Pluto opened two large doors which behind them was a bunch of nothingness.
"All of you hold hands, it is very possible to get lost in time." Pluto warned. "And concentrate on the time you wish to go to."
Marron blushed once she realized that Trunks had grabbed her hand. They all walked into the doors and were gone from their time.
"So which high school did my parents attend again?" Pan asked once they arrived.
"Orange star High." Goten replied. "Hey you know what, classes start tomorrow."
"We need a hotel to stay in while we're here." Marron pointed out.
"Ok here's what we do, Goten, Pan and I will go rent a hotel, and Marron and Bra will go register for high school." Trunks ordered.
"Wait a minute, I'm too old for high school." Marron pointed out.
"And I'm too young." Bra added.
"We'll we need someone to attend Gohan and Chibi usa's classes and you two are the closest things we have. You'll just have to lie about your ages." Trunks replied.
With that, each of them headed their own ways.
The next day, the five of them were up for the first day of high school. Pan sat out side of the school behind a bush watching as the students entered. Bra and Marron had already headed to their classrooms. Pan watched as her father as a teenager sped towards the school crossing paths with Chibi usa almost running into her.
"Oh I'm sorry miss." Gohan apologized and then blushed when he caught site of the girl.
"It's ok." Chibi usa replied. "Hey your Gohan?"
Gohan looked up at her a little confused. "Do I know you?"
"Don't you remember me? I was that little girl you used to play with when we were younger." Chibi usa laughed.
Gohan thought for a moment. "Chibi usa! Is that you! Where have you been all this time?"
"My mother, her friends, and I have been traveling to different planets around the universe liberating them from the Dark Kingdom." Chibi Usa explained.
Gohan took a good look at her. She had changed a lot. Chibi usa had filled out nicely, and was very beautiful. She wore blue jeans and a red tank top and she no longer wore her hair up in her odangos. Now it hung down to the center of her back.
"You know, we better hurry or we're going to be late for class." Gohan reminded. He and Chibi usa sped off inside the building.
Pan sighed as she watched the scene that had just taken place. It was strange watching your parent's first meeting as if you were an audience. Good thing Pluto had given them all anti sensors or Chibi usa and Gohan would have sensed her power level by now.
Bra and Marron took a seat next to each other in class and both witnessed Gohan and Chibi usa rush into class late. They didn't sit next to each other or anything. There were only two seats left. Gohan sat in the front and Chibi usa sat in the row behind him next to a girl named Videl.
"Did you hear about the golden fighter?" A student behind Bra and Marron commented.
Marron sighed. It was back to high school for her and it wasn't exactly thrilling. A teacher arrived and began their first lesson.
Trunks was in the school office and was able to get employed at the last minute as a student service worker. He didn't like the way he had to get the job. Last night he had to injure the person who originally had the job enough so that he couldn't work. If it would save Pan it was worth it though. He did need to make plans for Bra and Marron and he could keep a watch on Chibi usa. Right then he made a phone to the Chiba residents.
Goten didn't have much to do. He hung out over the school and would watch Chibi usa when she had out door gym class or if she left the school for any reason. Another thing he had to do was watch for CAIN.
When school ended for the day Chibi usa flew home. "Mom I'm home!" she announced once she walked through the door.
"Hello Chibi usa." Usagi greeted happily.
Chibi usa walked to the kitchen for a snack and was surprised to find two girls from her class there. "What are you two doing here?"
"The school supervisor called and asked if they could board with us since they're from out of town." Usagi explained. "And I told him yes."
Goten, Trunks and Pan watched from outside.
"Good thing that worked ok. Now we can possibly have a 24 hour watch on Chibi usa." Trunks relieved.
That night Goten, Trunks, and Pan were in their hotel getting ready for bed.
"I'll be in the shower if you guys need me." Pan announced and shut the door to the bathroom.
Goten and Trunks sat on the beds drinking pop and eating snacks. Trunks was on the phone talking to Bra about how things were going so far and Goten was watching TV
"How long is she going to be in there?" Goten questioned after Trunks had hung up with Bra.
"Who knows. She's a girl." Trunks answered.
Soon enough, Pan got out of the bathroom dressed in her pajamas.
"Pan were going to go to bed now." Goten announced.
Pan surveyed the room and saw the mess Goten and Trunks had made with their snack bags and pop cans. "Oh no you don't! Not until you clean this mess up!" she ordered angrily.
Trunks and Goten shrunk back and then got up to clean moaning about how tired they. Pan climbed into her bed and fell asleep.
The next day, the second day of school started.
"Marron!" Bra squealed. "What are you still doing in bed! We have school!"
"But I was up most of the night watching Chibi usa." She groaned with a sleepy tone. "Besides I'm not really here to get an education just go ahead of me."
Bra sighed and headed out the door to catch up to Chibi usa.
Bra sat in her seat during class. 'Where are you Marron class is going to start in five minutes!'
The bell then rang. Almost a minute later Marron stormed into the classroom. Her hair was badly tangled and her clothes were crooked with her shirt on inside out. Brown circles had formed under here eyes and had a look of fatigue. She basically looked a mess.
"Marron you are late!" The teacher scolded.
Marron didn't say anything and took a seat at her desk.
"Good thing Trunks isn't here, he'd freak out if he saw you!" Bra teased in a low whisper.
"Shut up I'm not in the mood!" Marron whispered back. "That's the last time I take night shift!"
By gym class, Bra and Marron discovered that neither of them had the same gym teacher as Chibi usa. That meant Goten had to supervise her. Unfortunately her gym class had swimming that day.
Goten watched nervously as the girls dove into the water. It was almost impossible to concentrate with all the girls wearing their bathing suits.
"Hey Goten!" A voice whispered.
Goten turned and saw Pan.
"What are you looking at?" she laughed.
Goten blushed. "Pan what are you doing here!"
"I want to see my mother!" defended her self.
"This isn't a good time." Goten told her.
"Come on, one quick look won't hurt." Pan pleaded.
"Well ok, make it quick though." Gohan gave in.
Pan looked around the bush and saw her mother talking and laughing with a friend of hers. She smiled at seeing this. For the first time in many years, she got to have a good look at her mom. Chibi usa's head turned a little towards her. Pan quickly ducked back behind the bush.
"Goten I think she saw me!" Pan yelped.
Goten sighed. "Get out of her then! I knew this was a bad idea!"
Pan didn't have to be told twice. She fled away from the swimming pools.
"Hey Chibi usa, what are you looking at?" her friend Momoko asked.
"I thought I saw someone familiar peeking out from that bush." Chibi usa said.
"Well you're up." Momoko reminded.
Chibi usa sighed, swimming wasn't exactly one of her best sports.
"Ah!" a girl screamed as Videl spiked the ball towards her. Videl was one of the best volley ball players at the school. She had a very hard spike that would frighten the girls on the other team.
"Our team's up." Marron announced to Bra.
A girl named Erasa on the other team had the first serve. Bra bumped it back to the other side. Another girl who they didn't know retrieved it and hit it back. Someone else on Bra and Marron's team bumped it back over to Videl. Videl got ready for her spike. Once the ball got close enough to her she pounded it back over the other side. It was coming towards Marron! Marron dove and retrieved it and knocked it backed over to the other side. Everyone breathed deeply. No one had ever had the courage to go after one of Videl's spikes, not mentioning bumping it back over to the other side!
This angered Videl and hurt her pride. She ran in front of the girl who the ball was headed for and smacked it back over at Marron. Marron again went for it and knocked it back over. Videl got more angry and charged after it again and spiked back at Marron who then realized what was going on.
'All right you want to play rough do you?' thought Marron.
She then spiked it back over again and Videl charged for it. Soon Videl and Marron dominated the court each bumping or spiking the ball every time it came to their side of the net. The gym teacher didn't even bother stopping them because she knew how tough Videl was. On the last bump back over, Marron hit the ball so hard that it popped in the air. Videl wasn't able to spike it back over and the ball fell to the court floor.
Marron had surprised herself. Never in her entire life did she remember being that aggressive and competitive. It almost scared her.
Videl looked towards the swimming pools so she would make eye contact with Marron. Once she looked, she saw a man watching the girls swimming class! Videl charged over to the pools.
"Hey what do you think you are doing you pervert!" Videl screamed aggressively.
Goten looked up at the angry teenage girl. "Um I was um..."
"Just what I thought! You have three seconds to get out of here before I beat the crap out of you!" Videl warned.
"I can't leave! I have to watch someone!" Goten made a mistake.
"You pervert! Who are you working for!" Videl roared. "That's it your going to get it."
Videl got into a fighting stance. This made Goten nervous because he didn't feel comfortable fighting girls. Videl sent a punch towards him which Goten blocked easily. This angered her and she through a kick. Goten ducked from it so he wouldn't embarrass her.
'Gotta get out of here!' he thought and took off for the air.
"Hey get back here you coward!" Videl yelled at him. 'Dang another person who can fly.'
Goten now had to watch the gym class from the top of the school. It nearly killed him that he didn't think about someone else possibly spotting him.
Gym ended and the students were back in class.
"Gohan let me see your notes." Chibi usa stated.
Gohan looked at her. "What do you need them for?"
"We have a quiz today and I didn't study." Chibi usa explained.
Gohan passed her his notebook and Chibi usa frantically studied.
A watch on Videl's arm beeped and she spoke into it and got the news that a bus had been hijacked.
"Ma'am may I please be excused?" Videl asked.
"Oh go right ahead." The teacher gave permission.
"Ma'am, may I use the restroom?" Gohan asked once Videl had left.
"Alright but hurry up." Was the teacher's reply.
Chibi usa knew where he was going, she felt a little jealous that he was going to be aiding Videl.
"Should one of us follow?" Marron asked Bra.
"No were supposed to be watching over Chibi usa not Gohan!" Bra hissed.
When school ended, Gohan and Videl had returned from their battle.
"Chibi usa do you want to go to that restaurant over there?" Bra asked her. "Marron an I are going."
"Sure I'd love to go." Chibi usa replied.
Bra then caught site of Gohan. "Gohan, were going to a restaurant, wanna come with us?"
Gohan looked at them, "Yeah I'll come." He agreed.
Marron pulled Bra aside. "What are you doing!"
"I'm speeding things up here," Bra explained.
Marron sighed. "Ok let's just go."
Bra, Marron, Gohan, and Chibi usa sat at a booth. Bra had even made sure that Gohan and Chibi usa ended up sitting next to each other. Marron went up to the counter to order.
"So when did you two first meet?" Bra asked curiously.
"We met when we were much younger, probably when we were both about three." Gohan replied.
"Yeah we used to play together when we were young." Chibi usa added.
Marron returned with the orders.
"Hey you guys are in my class." A voice announced.
They all looked and saw Videl. "Mind if I sit with you?"
"No not at all." Chibi usa answered before Bra could tell her no.
Videl squeezed into the seat next to Gohan. "So what are you guys doing here?" she asked trying to make conversation.
"We came to eat!" Bra replied a little aggressively.
"That's nice." Videl said dully.
"Damn it! That girl ruined my plans this afternoon!" Bra complained that night before she and Marron went to bed.
"Bra you really shouldn't rush this." Marron warned
"Rush what?" Chibi usa who had just entered the bed room asked.
"Nothing," Bra said.
A week went by and nothing much happened, Gohan and Chibi usa flirted with each other a little bit but that was all. Their relationship was moving too slow for Bra who was getting frustrated. She and Marron took turns on who was going to have night shift. Trunks and Goten even took it once. None of them would let Pan take it though because if CAIN attacked they would need her in top condition. On a Tuesday afternoon all of them sat in the hotel room having a conversation.
"Well this is going good so far." Trunks complemented. "So far we haven't spotted CAIN."
"And we've done a pretty good job of keeping an eye on Chibi usa." Goten added.
"Does Setsuna know when CAIN will arrive?" Pan asked in a worried tone.
"Don't worry she's working on it." Marron tried to comfort her.
"I'll tell you one thing, her and Gohan's relation ship is moving way too slow for me!" Bra put in.
"Bra we can't move them that fast," Marron had warned for the 100th time it seemed. "We can't upset the time stream."
"Ah!" Pan screamed. Everyone turned and saw that she was fading again!
"Hey what's happening!" Gohan screamed and tried to grab on to Pan as if that would stop her from fading.
"Wait a minute, if we're all here, then who's with Chibi usa!" Bra reminded frantically.
"Crap! Marron you go to the school and look for her, and Goten will look around the city for her. Bra you stay here with Pan!" Trunks ordered.
Marron rushed inside the school. After school clubs, activities, and study groups would be going at this time. She broke into the first door.
"Chibi usa!" she cried. Chibi usa wasn't in there.
She flew to the next door and opened it, no Chibi usa. She charged into the bathroom, no Chibi usa.
Goten flew around the more northern part of the city. He looked in allies, abandoned houses, pools, shops and restaurants. Chibi usa wasn't in any of them. Soon he was faced with Trunks.
"I picked up her power level, she's at the park, go to the school and tell Marron." Trunks informed.
"Ah! Paper cut!" Chibi usa complained looking at the blood flowing from her index finger. She cleaned it off with a tissue and got back to her drawing.
"Hey Chibi usa," Gohan greeted from behind.
Chibi usa turned her head. "Hello Gohan."
"What are you drawing?" he asked curiously.
Chibi usa blushed, "Nothing!" she shrieked crouching up and holding her drawing book close to her.
"Oh come on show me." Gohan begged.
"It's nothing I swear!" Chibi usa blushed some more.
Gohan snatched the drawing book from her and flipped through the pages. "Hey these are pretty good, what are they?"
Chibi usa's face got redder. "Wedding dresses, I plan to get married some day."
It was Gohan's turn to blush.
"Awe, they're so cute!" Marron commented from a distance. "To bad Bra is missing this!"
Trunks sighed, "I wonder why Pan started to fade away, Chibi usa wasn't in any danger."
"It's a mystery," Goten added.
"Marron you stay and watch them, Goten and I will go back to the apartment and tell Bra and Pan that everything is all right." Trunks instructed.
"Awe don't you think they'd want their privacy?" Marron said mischievously.
"Marron." Trunks warned.
"Hey I'm just kidding!" Marron laughed.
End of part one.
