"Videl-sama!" Trunks managed.

"Videl!!" Krillin rushed over to them and with all his might pried her hands from around Trunks's neck.

"How could you?! She was like a sister to you!!!"

"But . . ." Trunks started.

"Unhand my son, you stupid woman!!" Vegeta barked.

"Ah, yes, and here's the role model!"

"Uh, Videl, we've already been down that road," Krillin said nervously.

"I can't believe that my levelheaded daughter would fall for this playboy!"

"I can't believe that Saiyan royalty would want to breed with a pathetic quarter-Saiyan!" Vegeta said getting right up in Videl's face.

"Stop it!!!" A voice shouted. Everyone turned to find Pan standing in the doorway.

"Panny!" Trunks exclaimed running to her. He took her in his arms and held her protectively.

"You all are acting like Trunks and I don't even exist!!! I am a woman now, Mother. I have always been in love with Trunks," she admitted.

"You have?" He looked down upon her. His blue eyes met her onyx ones.

"Yes, I can't remember not being in love with you."

"Oh, Dende!" Vegeta said exasperated.

"And you!! Just because I'm only a quarter-Saiyan doesn't mean I'm not good enough for your son. You'd better be glad that I am at least part Saiyan, or you'd have a quarter-Saiyan grandchild!!" Pan spat at him.

"But, Pan, what about school?" Videl asked with tears in her eyes. "You're so young."

"I'm not much younger than you were when you had me, and I think you turned out all right."

"But your father?"

Trunks gulped. In all the commotion, he had forgotten all about Gohan. 'I'm dead meat. He'll kill me for sure.'

"He already knows," Pan said solemnly.

"He does?!" Everyone asked in unison.

"Yes, he was the second one I told. After Trunks, of course," she smiled as she pulled him closer.

"What did he say, Pan?" Trunks asked nervously.

"He was disappointed, but he knew that I love you. He said he's always known."

"It's kind of hard for a father not to notice," Goku smiled. He, too, knew Pan loved Trunks but always thought the age difference would keep the love from being reciprocated.

"Does your mother know, boy?' Vegeta asked with a smirk on his face.

Trunks winced at the thought of his mother. She'd definitely kill him. Pan was like a daughter to her. "No, I haven't told her."

"Well, excuse me. I'm getting the hell out of here before she blows her top!" Vegeta said as he took off.

"He's never any help!" Trunks sighed. He felt Pan's grip around him tighten. She looked up at him and said,

"I'm here. You don't need anyone else." She was right. He didn't need anyone else. Ever since he first held her in his arms that night, she was all he lived for. Pan had always been a good friend, and the thought had never crossed his mind that she could ever be anything more. Initially he had slept with her as a conquest but once he had, she stole his heart. He loved her like he had never loved another.

Krillin looked at the couple and remembered how he and Juu had fallen in love. He had loved her since the first battle with the Androids. He knew she really couldn't be evil when she pecked him on the cheek. They too had their troubles, but not like Trunks and Pan. Marron, his pride and joy, he thought. But what was all this about Bra and Goten that Goku had mentioned?

Just then, Bulma came out to see what was taking everyone so long to come inside. After all, Pan had called the gathering. "Trunks? Pan?" She asked in shock as she saw the two holding one another.

"Come inside everyone. We have an announcement to make," Pan said taking Trunks by the hand.

As everyone gathered around the huge sofa in the middle of the Briefs' home, Pan and Trunks were very nervous. She gripped his hand tightly, and he returned the gesture. As Chi-Chi was the last to take her seat, Pan stood. "Everyone, Trunks and I have an announcement to make."

"You do?" Bulma scratched her head.

"Shh, Mom!!!" Bra hushed her mother. Bra also knew that Pan was pregnant. She had overheard a conversation her brother was having with Pan outside her window one night. 'I wonder where Papa is?' She thought as she scanned the room for the Saiyan Prince. Goten came in from the kitchen and plopped down beside Bra. Krillin noticed how chummy the two were being and was afraid his daughter was about to get her heart broken.

"Yes," Trunks said as he too stood. "Mom, you're going to be a grandmother."

"WHAT?!" Bulma screamed.

"Pan, are you pregnant?!" Chi-Chi asked.

"Yes, Grandma, I am."

"And you're the father, Trunks?" Bulma asked getting angry.

"Yes, I am."

"She's too young for you!!!" Goten stood. He couldn't believe that his best friend had slept with his niece-- his niece for crying out loud! Bra grabbed his hand and pulled him back down on the couch.

"Age is just a number, Uncle Goten," Pan said.

"It's a lot more than just a number, Panny," Bulma stated.

"Father is older than you," Trunks reminded her.

"We're not talking about your father and me."

"We might as well be," Chi-Chi said as she looked at Bulma.

"Not that again!!!" Trunks threw up his hands.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Bulma asked indignant.

"Monkey see, monkey do!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. "You weren't married to Vegeta when you had Trunks. Hell, you're not even married to him now!!!"

"Grandma!" Pan interjected.

"Sounds like you're a bit frustrated sexually, Chi-Chi. I guess I would be too if my husband had been turned into a boy and then took off for ten years!" She laughed.

"That does it, Blue-hair!" Chi-Chi lunged for Bulma.

"You want some of this?!" Bulma motioned for her to bring it on.

As the two women fought and pulled their hair, everyone in the room gathered around them trying to pull them apart. While they were occupied with that, Trunks and Pan flew out the window.

"I can't take this anymore, Trunks. Why do our families have to dig up the past? We're not our parents," Pan said as she clung to him.

"I know. I don't know why everyone is acting like they're children. I mean really, so my mom and dad aren't married."

"If the truth be known, Grandma and Grandpa aren't married anymore. He died twice!!! They never had another wedding!" She laughed.

"Pan, will you marry me?"

"Trunks, we talked about this. Don't do this if you feel obligated."

"I don't feel obligated. I love you," he said as he looked into her ebony eyes.

She pulled him closer and heard his heartbeat. It was beating very loudly and fast. "I love you, too."

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes, I will marry you," she laughed.

"Hold on, we have to go somewhere," he said as he headed toward town.



"Chi-Chi!! Let go!!" Goku said as tried to pull his wife off Bulma.

"Did you hear what she said?!"

Gohan was trying to pull Bulma out from under his mother. "Bulma, this would go easier if you were to let go of my mother's hair." Just then, Bulma yanked out a hunk of Chi-Chi's raven hair.

"OUCH!!!! You bitch!" Chi-Chi said as she pulled back. Goku saw his chance and grabbed his wife by the waist. "Let go of me, Goku!!!"

"Nope," he smiled.

"Bulma, did you have to do that?" Gohan said as he was trying to hold her back.

"She said . . ."

"Hey, where did Trunks and Pan go?" Bra asked.

"They were right here a minute ago," Krillin said.

"They probably got tired of all the fighting," Videl stated with tears in her eyes.

"Where would they have gone?" Bulma asked with a handful of Chi-Chi's hair.
