Chapter 7 ~ I Can't Live Without Him ~
When Pan heard the news that her mother and father were coming home she jumped
from her seat on the bed and ran out the door. The dress and the shoes slowed her down but
nothing could stop her from seeing her mom and dad. She made her way down to the exit
outside where everybody wait. Pan ran and stood next to her uncle.
"What took you so long Panny?" Goten asked.
"I didn't take the longest you know." Pan grinned.
Goten sighed and held his position. Finally you could see Gohan and Videl riding up on
their horses and dismounting. Pan ran up to her dad and jumped into his arms. Her father put her
down and then she ran over to her mother giving her a hug. Everybody else greeted them back
with a hug or a handshake. But who was going to tell both of them about the death of Son Goku,
formal king of Tayla?
Gohan looked over at his mother. She was not the same cheerful self she had been
always been, eyes sparkling and her mouth smiling.
Chichi turned away and looked horrified," Gohan, dear, your father..." She hesitated. The
fact that her husband was dead was the worst thing that has ever happened to her in her life.
She began again," Your father..... is dead and he promised me that he would stay alive but he
didn't!" Tears started to stream down her face and not wanting to look at her son's grief stricken
face, she ran away.
Gohan felt is grief coming out, but he knew a good soldier never cried even when
someone dear to him dies.
"Oh Gohan... " Videl said.
Gohan couldn't take it anymore. If he were to cry he would go somewhere else where
nobody would see him. But he wanted not to cry over this incident. He didn't say anything and
walked into the castle's entrance. Videl followed after him leaving the rest of the people standing
outside.
Pan felt as guilty as ever. To her she thought that her grandfather's death was all her
fault. She wanted to go up to her dad and tell him what happened, but she was afraid that he
would be raged to hear that she was fighting. The mixed fillings inside of her pulled together and
Pan went up to her father's room to tell him what had happened.
"What! You were out fighting! You know what could have happened to you if you messed
up!?" Gohan said raged.
"Gohan... please don't speak like that." Videl requested.
"But, dad, I went out there to protect this kingdom. I never intended to --!" Pan was cut
off by her father.
"Never intended to what!? I have told you many times, Pan, women don't fight especially
not you!
"Pan was starting to cry," Oh! I see how it is! You are saying that women are weak and
that includes me and mom!"
A mad saiya-jin princess ran out of the room into her own. She couldn't take it anymore
and let all of her tears fall from her eyes. "My dad is being so mean to me. I just wish I could run
away." Pan thought. To take things off of her mind, she slowly got into her night clothes and
climbed into bed.
********************************************************
~ 2 mornings later ~
Pan looked terrible. Her hair was a mess and her mascara was scattered everywhere.
The night before, her dad had yelled at her about groping around her grandfather's death. Wasn't
she suppose to be sad that someone dear to her has died? Pan was so confused and couldn't
think. Her grandmother would come into her room every one in awhile to talk to her. She seemed
to be getting weaker everyday.
Pan started to comb out all of her tangles and washed her face. She put a new dress on
and applied on some more makeup. She was planning on going to her grandmother's room and
talk to her before breakfast.
Before she could get out her door there was a knock on her door. The figure proceeded
into her room. Pan was looking down from where she sat and knew that it was her father.
"Pan, I am really sorry about last night..."
Pan didn't say anything but she still looked down at her father's feet.
"I know you are mad but maybe we can work this out. Me and your mother are sending
you to a nearby village to meet a young man and live with him for awhile." Gohan looked down in
despair awaiting his daughter's answer.
"So, now you think I need some counseling from a peasant boy!? Why don't you just
send me away instead or are you just trying to get rid of me!?" Pan snapped.
"No, dear, that's not it!"
"Just get out of my room and leave me alone, dad!"
Gohan looked at his daughter. "What have I done to my daughter? I made everything so
difficult for her." he thought.
This time Pan did not cry. She had already cried through the last 2 days and wanted to
stop. She arose from her spot in the room and walked out her door to her grandmother's room.
When she entered the room her grandma was sulked down in a chair looking really pale.
"Oh, grandma, what's wrong!?" Pan screamed out in horror.
Chichi looked up at her granddaughter. "Ah... Pan my lovely granddaughter... Why do
you look so worried?"
"Grandma Chichi! Why do you think I look so worried!? You are so pale and don't look
well! I must carry you to the infirmary to get you help."
"No, Pan, I could get up on my own." Chichi tried to get up but fell back down in her chair
very weakly.
"Oh Grandma!" Pan grabbed Chichi by the arm and carried her to the infirmary. When
they got there nobody was in.
"Hello! Can I get some doctors over here!"
When the doctors heard the princess' voice they raced in the room. Seeing that it was
formal Queen Chichi, they got to work right away.
By now, everybody had heard about Chichi's sickness and grief struck the kingdom of
Tayla again.
Everytime Pan came back to visit her grandmother, she would get sicker and sicker. Pan
figured that the death of her grandpa had something to do with her grandma getting sick.
Chichi had always been cheerful and alve when Goku was alive, but now that he was
gone all of that has left her.
Pan couldn't help but pace back and forth. That was the only way she could get herself
to think. "Grandpa Goku, this is all my fault that grandma Chichi is dying like this. If only I had
been there..." she thought. She headed back to where her grandma lie to see that she was still
okay. As Pan had thought, Chichi was still sick.
Chichi weakly opened her eyes and saw her granddaughter again. She began to speak,"
Pan, please stop this war before everybody is gone. I have already lost my husband and your
going to lose me soon as well."
"No grandma! Don't say things like that! You're going to live! I know you are! My heart is
already lonely if you leave.... it won't be the same...." Pan said.
"No, Pan. Your heart is not lonely. Mine is... Don't lose faith and keep yourself alive. You
are the only person that I believe can stop this war. I want to be with my Goku in heaven. I just
can't live without him......."
Chichi had her hand on Pan's face and now it was slipping away. Pan grabbed but knew
that her grandma had just past on.
"No...."
Gohan, Videl, and Goten had come into the room while Pan was having her last talk with
her dear grandma. Gohan and Goten had there heads down and Videl was crying in Gohan's
arms. Pan had the tempting feeling to cry but held it in. She ran through her family and up to her
room again. The lonely girl was now without a grandma and grandpa which she had lost because
of the war.

~ Enubia ~
Bra was really bored and wanted to go in town to do something. She put on some pants
and a shirt she had stolen from her brother. Then, she covered her face with a cloak and headed
downstairs, dodging all of the guards. When she got to the exit a lot of guards were surrounding
it. She had got a bow and arrow from her father's room and now she was aiming it toward
another hallway. Bang! It hit! All of the guards ran over to the spot where they heard the sound to
investigate. Bra quickly ran out the door to the village that the castle overlooked.
Bra was so happy to get away from her boring little home into the exciting little village.
She saw a horse racing contest and regretting not bringing her horse along with her. Then, what
astounded her the most is when she saw a buffet sign. It read," Come and eat at our restaurant,
Kenka Surprise, for an all you can eat special. Bra squealed and headed into the restaurant.
Once she was in, she immediately took all of the food choices filling her plate to the top.
As she ate everybody looked at her strangely, but Bra ignored all of the stares and went on
eating. When she was finally full, (it takes awhile for saiya-jins to become full) she headed out of
the restaurant. The owner was shocked to see all of his food gone and closed his store.
The Enubia princess, which of course was looking like a boy, walked on through the
villlage for hours looking at the merchant's stores and all the different things. She was having a
great time!
~ The Enubian Castle ~
"King Vegeta, we have horrifying news!" A messengers addressed Vegeta.
"What is it now!?" Vegeta roared.
"Um.... It seems that princess Bra had run away again..."
"No way! I thought I told her to stay where she was or she was going to get whipped!"
Trunks get in here!"
Trunks was in the throne room awaiting is orders from his father." Yes father!'
"Boy, I want you to find your sister! If you find her bring her right to the whipping room."
Bulma was filled with anger," No, Vegeta, you can't do that to your daughter!
"I could if I want to! Just watch me! Now go, Trunks, and find her!"
Trunks left the room to find his little sister. Bulma was crying silently over her husband's
mean actions. Vegeta just ignored his mate and continued sitting in silence.
Trunks arrived at the entrance, his horse waiting for him. He got on it and rode down the
hill looking toward the village.
~ Enubia Village ~
There was another little contest going on involving sword fighting. "Whoever can beat
me will get 100 gold coins!" The man said.
Bra was excited by this and entered the contest. She put the mask on, hiding her blue
hair, and fought the man. This fight wasn't difficult for her because she had practiced sword
fencing a lot and was really experienced. What she did not know was that her brother was among
one of the many watchers.
Trunks noticed the style of the better fighter right away and knew it was Bra. He got up
on the fighting platform, after the little battle, and took off her mask.
Bra knew she was got and gave in to her brother." Okay, I was bored and here to amuse
myself."
"Yeah, sure! You're in big trouble, missy! Dad says he wants to whip you when you get
back."
Bra didn't care. She loved the feel of pain, but she also did not like it for some reason
and was scared to death.
Trunks through her onto the horse forcefully and rode back up to the castle where Bra
was going to get whipped by her father.
~ Enubia Castle ~
The purple-haired boy rode up to the castle. He threw Bra off the horse being as mean
as ever to her. She landed on the ground and looked up at her brother with murder in her eyes.
"What happened to you big brother? You always used to be so nice to me!"
Trunks slapped her for talking and carried her to the throne room. Bulma was happy to
see that her daughter was okay but wasn't happy about what was going to happen to her.
Vegeta smirked and asked for his whip to be delivered to him. He was handed one and
unfolded it.
"Bra, you will receive 10 whips for running away. There will be no regrets." Vegeta told
her.
"No Daddy! Why must you be so mean to me!?"
Vegeta always seemed to be softened when Bra called him "daddy". He tried to refuse to
not to whip her, but his huge saiya-jin ego forced him to walk over to her and hit her with the
violent weapon.
Bra let out several screams out did not cry. She felt like she was a child placed in the
wrong family. The only one who cared much about her at all was her mother.
