Hey! Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out! I had a severe case of writer's block! Anyways, here's the next chapter! This is the meeting between Gohan, Bulma, Trunks, and Pan. Not sure how it'll turn up yet myself, I make these up as I go! Also in this chapter: A small clue to what happened with Bra and Vegeta! Enough blabber! On with Chapa 4!

"What do you mean she said she was going to the mall with Bra?!" I yelled, not wanting to believe that Pan would lie about something like that. She always seemed like such a nice girl, and I always knew that someday my little boy and Pan would get together. I was hoping at that moment all those beliefs wouldn't come back on me now.

"I mean what I said." He states simply.

Speechless, I just waited for him to continue, hoping he would. He usually had this habit of letting people start talking first, sometimes.

"Anyways, Bulma. I don't know if Pan was lying or not. She might have went to the mall with Bra, she just talked to Trunks first.

"Possible..." I thought out loud. "How will we ever find out if that's true or not?"

"Easy. Come over to my house, right now. Pan is here. Bring Trunks, and we'll talk." He said, like he'd been thinking about it for hours.

"Okay, I'm coming over. But when we get there, you better not kill my son." I said sarcastically, referring to his overprotection of his daughter.

"I'll try." He said with equal amount of sarcasm.

"Ok I'll see you in a few. Bye, Gohan."

"Bye Bulma."

Click!

Sighing inwardly, I trudged up the stairs to get Trunks. My head was racing with accusations and doubts. I had no clue what was going on around here, but this Monday was getting to be pretty screwy. All Mondays are dull and terrible, but this was just plain screwy.

Reaching Trunks's room, I loudly pounded on the door, signaling how important my second visit was. I heard his bed creak as he sprang up from it to answer me. Opening the door, he looked at me like he knew what this was all about, even though I know he didn't.

"What did you need?" He asked me tiredly.

"Come on, we're going to Gohan's house. We're going to talk with him and Pan." I demanded.

I saw his facial expression leap off his face and turn into a new one in a split second when I said that. I could see fear all over his face. I could hear it in the way his breathing quickened.

"G-Gohan's?" He asked like it was the Terror Tower.

"Yes." I said sternly, then adding, "And don't even try to talk your way out of this one, your going." I could see the lump he swallowed.

"Why?" he asked shakily.

"You'll find out when you get there. Now lets go, your flying us both." I answered.

Nodding hesitantly, he silently said, "Yes ma'am."

As we flew, I couldn't see a thing. He moved so darn fast everything passed by in a blur. I thought about what would happen when I got there. If Gohan would blow Trunks's brain out, if Pan was really lying, and such. I hardly had any time to think anyways, because we got to Gohan's house in like, 30 seconds.

When Trunks set me down, I brushed the imaginary dirt off my shirt, then pushed my hair back as I walked up to the front door. Looking behind me to see Trunks still standing there, I could tell he was thinking about flying back.

"Trunks if you fly back I'll send Gohan to get you." I said without looking at him. In a flash he was by my side and knocking for me.

Videl answered the door, and smiled at me and Trunks.

"We've been expecting you, as you know, so come on in." She said.

Walking in with Trunks behind me, I looked around briefly before walking into the familiar living room and sitting on the couch, joining Gohan and Pan who were already there.

I saw Trunks come in, looking at Gohan like he was a murderer that had him as his next target, then slowly taking a seat next to me. I knew that Gohan was much stronger than Trunks, and that was Trunks's good reason for fearing him so much, but sometimes I wondered...

"Well lets get started." Gohan said, cutting of my thoughts. "We're here because Bulma and I had an interesting talk today on the phone. She called to ask if I had any clue why Pan had come to visit Trunks today to talk."

I saw Pan's eyes get big, as if she knew right then what this was all about. Trunks on the other hand, was dumbfounded.

"Um...why does that create a problem, Gohan?" Trunks asked him.

"Because Pan told me she was going to the mall with your sister, Trunks." Gohan said. I thought I could hear his voice getting deeper when he said 'Trunks,' but that might just be me.

"Oh." He answered, as he leaned down further in his chair.

"But I did, Dad!" Pan said quickly. "Bra and I went to the mall today to shop."

"That doesn't explain why you didn't mention that you were going to talk to Trunks too." Gohan replied.

"I...well...you never asked me..." she reasoned, though she said it in a way that you thought she knew it was a bad answer.

"Well that doesn't matter. You know that's important to mention. Especially when you've got a boyfriend already."

Pan's eyebrows went down, and I could see Videl & Chi-chi's temper all over her face.

"For your information, Dad, I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday and I wasn't going to talk to Trunks to ask him out!! If you really must know, I wanted to tell him something about the way his sister had been acting today! I don't know and never will know why you hate Trunks so much! He never did anything to you!!!!"

She sighed very loudly, signaling how frustrated she was. She sat down the couch hard, and crossed her arms. Trunks was rather shocked by Pan's outburst, as was I. I knew that deep down, Trunks was kind of 'touched' by what she said.

Gohan didn't seem the slightest bit surprised by her outrage. Though I have to say, Chi-chi was his mother, and Videl his wife. I'm sure he is used to the yelling.

I knew Gohan was speechless by the look on his face. He looked mad, but he was speechless. But just as he was about to rant and rave back, Videl walked into the room.

"Enough." She said simply. "Pan..." she said, turning to her, "I'm glad you didn't lie, and I'm sure your father is too. Right, Gohan?"

"Yes." He said, defeated.

"Good. Gohan..." she said turning to him now, "I agree with her. Trunks has never done anything to you. So since Pan has admitted why she talked to Trunks, why don't you admit why you hate him so much?" She said, like a punishment. In that moment I almost felt sorry for Gohan. As all eyes fell upon him, I could tell just how nervous he was by the way he wrung his hands.

"I...don't hate you Trunks..." he started. I knew Trunks was beginning to feel a little odd from all the talk about him. And that he was feeling even more odd now that the main subject was him.

"I guess I just...kind of...uh..." He stuttered.

"Today." Videl hurried.

"I'm guess I'm kind of...protective...heh..." he finally said, almost smiling. I glanced at Trunks, who was getting ready to reply.

"I know." He said.

Everybody shot their eyes to Trunks, who was smiling slightly, with a look that said, 'what' without even using the voice box.

"You know?" I asked him, very surprised by his answer.

"Yeah, sure. I don't see why it's such a surprise to you guys." He said, sounding fully innocent. Sometimes I wondered were he got that amazing ability to sound so perfect. Like a little kid telling you he 'didn't do it.'

"Right..." I said.

"So...uh...Pan," Gohan said quickly, obviously trying to change the subject, "What did you want to tell Trunks about Bra?"

"Huh?" she answered. "Oh I um...just wanted to ask him why his sister was with her dad at Kami's tower that's all."

I practically screamed. Kami's tower?! Why the hell did Vegeta take her there?!?! "Kami's tower?" I spat out, literally.

Trunks jerked back slightly. "Whoa say it don't spray it, mom." He said sarcastically.

"Whatever," I said, uninterested. "Why were you at Kami's tower Pan? How long did you see Bra? Was Vegeta there? Did you see them talk-"

"Hold on!" She cut me off. "Slow down, Bulma, one at a time." Rolling her eyes slightly, she continued. "I was at Kami's tower to restock on senzu beans for our family. I saw Bra only for a little bit 'cause I saw her fly past Korin's tower. Vegeta was with her. No I didn't see them talking." She answered, one at a time like she was answering test questions.

That was all I needed to hear. I stood up. "Well, I guess our talk is done then?" I asked, addressing Gohan.

"Oh, uh...yes." He said, taking awhile to realize I was talking to him.

"Ok. Bye Pan, Gohan, Videl." I waved as I walked out the door, waiting to hear their 'goodbye' response before I shut the door.

Grabbing Trunks's neck, we quickly flew back to Capsule Corp.

Landing on the lawn, I slowly walked into the living room and flopped onto the couch in deep thought. Kami's tower? What the hell was going on here?

Did ya like that?! I finally figured out how I'm going to explain all this later! When I first started I just...started! Now I have a plan...dun dun dun duuunnnn... Hahaha well I hope ya enjoyed this Chapter! Stay Tuned for Chapter 5!
