Chapter 22: Goten's Warning
-------
Pan's mouth hung open in shock and bewilderment. "Uncle Goten! How..what..how did you get here?"
Goten grinned his famous Son grin again. "Why? Not happy to see your faviorite uncle?"
Pan regained composure of herself and smiled. "Of course I am. But it's pretty damn strange for you to show up at my house when you had absoloutely no idea where I lived."
Goten shook his head and pretended to look stern. "Panny,you're going to have to do something about that language problem of yours!"
Pan shrugged it off by saying,"You sound like mom. Anyway,answer my question."
Goten and Trunks walked inside,and Pan closed the door behind them.
"Pan,listen to me." Goten's face turned serious,"If I told you something you never thought was possible,would you believe me?"
Pan pondered this for awhile. "It depends,I guess. Why won't you answer me? How did you get here?"
"I'll explain everything later,I promise. But as for now," he shared a look with Trunks,"We came to tell you something important. Trunks,I think you should tell her."
Pan began to feel uncomfortable. "Um,everything's okay,right?"
Trunks nodded,and began to speak softly,in a soothing voice. "I'm your best friend,aren't I Pan chan?"
"Right."
"Friends have to trust friends,am I right?"
"Right." Pan repeated.
"Look at me,Pan. Chris is not who you think he is."
Pan's eyes narrowed. "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"He's not a good person,Panny. He may look like your prince charming now,but he's just not like that."
"And you would know all this because....?" Pan's voice trailed off.
"Let's just say your Grandpa told me." added Goten.
Pan's eyes widened. "What? Grandpa Goku?"
Goten nodded. "That's right. I saw it in a dream,Pan. It was too real..I know he was trying to warn us about Chris."
"Lies! All lies!" Pan cried hotly,"Of all the nerve,Trunks! You're trying to make me choose you,right? That's the whole point of this little game."
"Pan-"
"And you,Uncle Goten," she turned to Goten."I thought you knew better. But I was wrong! You're both in this together. You're just trying to help Trunks,making up all these stories about Grandpa."
Trunks was crushed. "Would I lie to you,Pan? Is that the kind of person you take me for? How desperate do you think I am?"
Pan raised an eyebrow. "You're not desperate,Trunks Briefs. You could get any girl you wanted. You're just jealous."
"Fine,then! If you feel that way,then we're through!" Trunks's ki level began to rise dangerously.
"Stop it,you two! Stop!" cried Goten frantically. "Calm down. Apologize to each other this instant."
"No." both of them refused flatly.
"Pan,you've got to listen to me because I'm your uncle. And I said apologize. " Goten's voice sounded stern.
Pan threw her hands in the air. "Can't I do anything I want for once? God damn all of you!" she yelled and ran upstairs to her room.
"What's going on over here?" Gohan came over from the den and watched Pan run upstairs.
"Nothing. I guess she got angry." Goten gave his brother a fake grin and poked Trunks.
"Huh? Oh yeah,she got angry because....we wouldn't take her to the mall."
Gohan stared at them suspiciously. "Alright...it's obvious you made her upset,though. I think it's about time you went home,Goten. You too,Trunks."
Both of them nodded slowly as they turned to leave. "Hey,Gohan?" called Trunks.
"Yeah?" Gohan turned around.
"Tell Pan I'm sorry. Tell her she can keep Chris if she wants. I just want to be friends again." he said softly and left,leaving a confused Gohan to stare after him.
----
Pan lay down on her bed in her nightgown,thinking about everything that had happened earlier. *I can't believe I was so dumb to them.* she thought,*I can't believe I cursed at Trunks and Goten!* She paused to think about Trunks. Those soft blue eyes...they had never lied to her before,why start now? She remembered what her father had told her just before she went to bed.
"Trunks told me to tell you he's sorry,and that you can keep Chris if you'd like. He wants to be friends again."
The words echoed in her head. *Oh,Trunks,why did I have to be so stupid?* she sighed. *I don't even know if I love Chris. The way he was acting was definitely weird. And I still stuck up for him?* She yawned and looked at her clock which read 12:00 pm. *I'll be sure to check things out with him in the morning.* she thought as she fell into a deep and restless sleep.
----
The next morning,Pan woke up in a horrible mood. She stood up crankily,and made her way downstairs.
"Morning sweetie. Boy,you seem as if you're in a terrific mood." joked Gohan.
Pan shrugged and grumbled,"Everyone has their foul days."
"Wouldn't have anything to do with last night,would it?" asked Videl.
"No."
*BRRRRRING! BRRRRING!*
"Pan,honey,you're the closest to the phone. Would you get it?"
"Alright," Pan picked up the cordless and said,"Hello?"
"H-Hello?" answered a timid,tiny voice.
"Hello?" repeated Pan,"Who is this?"
"Are you Pan Son?" the voice quivered as it spoke.
"Yes," said Pan slowly,"Who are you?"
"I'm Stephanie Mcloughlin. I think you might know my brother,Chris."
----
A/N: Yup,most of you guessed it would be Stephanie.=P
Next Chapter: What's Chris gonna do to his sister after finding out what she has done? And how will Pan react?
