Chapter 7: Where's Pan

Midnight

Gohan paced back and forth in his living room. Where was his daughter?

"Gohan, will you calm down?" Videl watched her husband pace.

"It's midnight. Why isn't she back?" he stopped and looked at his wife.

"You know what her and Bra are like? They're probably watching a movie. I'll phone Bulma if she isn't back by one, okay?" Videl told her husband.

"Okay," he looked at his watch and then sat down next to her.

1 a.m

Gohan started pacing back and forth again, while Videl rang the Briefs resident.

"Hello?" Bulma's cheerful voice answered the phone.

"Hi, Bulma, its Videl."

"Oh, hey Videl. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Is Panny there?" Videl questioned her daughter's best-friends mother.

"Uhhhhh….no, I don't think so. I'll just go ask Bra. Bare with me a minute?" Bulma put the phone on hold.

"Well….?" Gohan asked Videl.

"She's gone to ask Bra."

"Bra?" her mother knocked on her daughter's bedroom door.

"Uh huh?" Bra called from inside, "You can come in mom."

Bulma opened the door; she remained to stay in the doorframe. Bra was on her computer typing something up. Bra turned round to her mother. Pan no where in site.

"Bra has Pan been here tonight?" Bulma asked.

"No, I haven't seen her since yesterday. I spoke to her earlier on the phone. Why?"

"Videl's rang up looking for her."

"Oh, well I can't help them, sorry," Bra smiled at her mother.

"Okay, thanks honey," Bulma then closed the door.

"You can come out now," Bra looked at her closet, standing up. Her closet door opened.

"Good," a topless Goten walked out, "Now where were we?" he grabbed her, kissing her passionately, and then pushing her gently onto the bed, him following her. Bra giggled.

Bulma headed back to the hall where she had picked up the phone. She walked past the kitchen noticing Trunks in there, rummaging through the fridge.

"Ummm…Trunks, have you seen Panny?" Bulma poked her head around the kitchen doorframe

He shot up, quickly closing the fridge door, "Errr…not since last week. Why?"

"Errr…it don't matter. Thanks, love."

Trunks watched his mother hurry back to the hallway. He sighed she didn't have a good at him for getting a midnight snack, normally she would have told him off or something.

Gohan was pacing back and forth again, looking at the clock on the wall and then to door.

Videl began tapping her fingers on the kitchen work surface.

"Ummm….Videl. She isn't here," Bulma told her friend.

"She isn't!!" Videl cried.

Gohan stopped and looked at Videl, just as shocked as she was. Then worry crept over their faces.

"She hasn't been here all night. What's wrong?"

"Errr…Panny told us she was going to see Bra," Videl told Bulma.

"Oh maybe she did come here and bumped into Goten. Maybe they've to Chi-Chi and Goku's?" Bulma suggested.

"Yeah, maybe. Thanks Bulma," Videl thanked her friend and hung up the phone.

"No prob…" Bulma heard the phone hang upon the other end, "Doesn't that family ever say bye?" she put the phone down and went back to watching the TV.

Videl started dialling Goku and Chi-Chi's number.

"Who you ringing now?" Gohan asked.

"Your parents. Bulma said she might have bumped into your brother and gone there with him."

"Oh," Gohan never thought that as a possibility.

"Hello?" Goku answered the phone.

"Oh, hey Goku. It's Videl. Is Chi-Chi there?" Videl asked her husband's father.

"Uhhh…yeah I'll just go get her." Videl heard Goku calling Chi-Chi to come to the phone.

"Hello?" Chi-Cho answered.

"Hi Chi-Chi. Is Panny there?"

"Oh, hey Videl. No, no she isn't."

"Is Goten?"

"Errr…he's over at Trunks', why?"

"Ummmm….we can't find Panny," Videl looked over at her husband. He had a worried look on his face.

"Is she at Bulma's?" chi-Chi asked.

"No, I've just rang there."

"Is there anyone else she might have gone to?"

"No!" Videl answered her mother-in-law.

"I'll go check her room to see if she cane through the window," Gohan looked at his wife and then started up the stairs.

"Okay," Videl looked at her husband and then watched him go up the stairs.

"Where could she have gone?" Chi-Chi wondered.

Videl heard Goku asking questions in the background. He then told Chi-Chi he'd go talk to Goten.

Gohan walked into his daughter's room. He flicked the switch for the light. She wasn't there. He noticed something on her desk. He walked over to it. There was an envelope with the words 'I'm Sorry' written on it. He looked at the photo sitting next to it. It was a photo of Pan, Goten, Trunks, Bra and Marron. Pan's best friends. He then opened the envelope and started reading the letter.

"VIDEL!!!!" he yelled after reading it.

"I've gotta go Chi-Chi. Gohan's found something."

"Okay, ring me when you find her?"

With that Videl hung up and raced up the stairs to see what Gohan wanted. She reached her daughter's bedroom. She saw Gohan sitting on Pan's bed. He had a hand covering his eyes. In his other hand was a piece of paper.

"What it is Gohan?" Videl stood in front of him.

He handed her the piece of paper.

Videl started to read it.

"No," she put her a hand over her mouth and fell to her knees. She then put both hands over her face and started crying. The piece of paper floated to floor. Gohan stood up and fell behind her cradling his wife while he w

also was crying.
