Hey every one! Sorry it took so long, I've been kind of busy lately. Well actually I've been working on my other stories and then report cards came out this week (eek). Well anyways, due to report cards chances are I will only be able to use the computer on various weekends, depending on the moods of my parents. So I am going ahead and posting this.

"WELL I DON'T CARE, BOY," Vegeta raged, causing Bulma and Bra's eyes to widen in fear. "MY REASON IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME! You will NOT see them EVER
Again! Is that UNDERSTOOD?"
Trunks scoffed and left for his room. He knew that it was no use to argue with his father -
He was the most stubborn person Trunks knew. Vegeta sat back down and began to eat
His dinner in silence, and looked up only after Bra had left the table. He looked at her
Plate to see that she had finished, and what he saw was a full plate.... and a drop of water
On the table. 'A tear? Oh well she'll get over it,' Vegeta thought, still seething in anger.
Bulma just stared at him, thinking that whatever this was he would eventually get over
It...or so she hoped.
BACK AT THE SON RESIDENCE - dinner that same night...
After Pan and Goten hung up they immediately heard a knock at the door. 'That was close' thought Pan as she followed Goten and her father down the stairs and into the kitchen.
They all sat around the table, which contained enormous amounts of food. At first Gohan and Videl would talk about work with ChiChi chiming in every once in a while to ask questions. Every one seemed to avoid any type of conversation, which might bring up the earlier events they faced today.
Eventually Videl noticed that Pan wasn't touching her food. She would have asked but just figured that she was upset. 'Who wouldn't be' she thought 'She has been told not to see or talk to her best friend.' Videl felt sympathy go out for her daughter. She glanced at her husband who seemed to be trying to ignore the angry glances being received from his daughter and brother.
Pan was deep in thought about how weird it would be to live with out her friends that only a slight nudge from Goten brought her away from staring at her fork. Pan looked up to find that everyone was staring at her and realized her father must have asked her a question. Raking her mind for usual dinnertime questions she guessed that he had probably asked about how school was going.
"Oh, well schools going fine, nothing much going on except a term paper in English" she replied laughing a bit nervously as no one seemed to move.
"Oh well that's good honey" replied Gohan "But I asked about how you would feel going to a private school."
Goten looked visibly uncomfortable and Pan just paused. She wasn't silent for long though. "What do you mean go to a private school?" asked Pan who didn't bother to mask her anger.
Gohan sighed and didn't bother to look at his wife who seemed equally as curious. It was obvious that he thought about the private school on the spur of the moment and didn't bother to discuss it with his family.
"Well honey, it's just that I think it would be better for you to attend a private school from now on. You will get a better education and it will look better on your college resume. Not to mention that..."
"Dad! I am not going to a private school! All my friends since Elementary school go to my high school. I am not just going to leave all my friends and my entire social life behind just because you think it would be 'better' for me."
"Young lady, do not raise your voice at me. You never used to yell at me before. You wouldn't be leaving your entire social life behind. You can make new friends and I'm sure you can always see some of your other friends on weekends"
Pan sat still for a minute refusing to meet her fathers' gaze. She stared at her fork, which for this meal served only to gently slide food from one side of the plate to another. She soon began to speak very quietly. "Don't hide this issue behind what you think would be a better education and opportunity for me." she began to raise her voice again, "You just want to make absolutely sure that I never see Bra and Trunks again don't you?" She shoved her chair out from the table and stood up. "You just won't quit will you? Well while you're at it why don't you just move us all to another city? Don't you think you're just taking this a little to far?"
Pan ran upstairs and slammed the door to her room. Her relatives down stairs seemed to freeze at the sudden outburst. Saying nothing Goten slowly walked up stairs as well. Gohan turned and left the room in order to avoid the looks that his wife was giving him.
That night Pan wouldn't leave her room and no one came to talk to her. The next day she got up late. She showered and dressed before she walked down stairs. Pan looked around and noticed that her father had already left for work. Sighing Pan took a few bites of breakfast and met Goten in the driveway. Neither of them talked as they took off flying in the direction of school.
As they neared the campus Goten explained to Pan about his conversation with her father. "He said that he still intends to send you, as well as my parents intent to send me to a private school. Apparently my mom also thinks that we will both get hurt if Vegeta catches us while talking to Bra and Trunks so she is supporting his point. I don't know when we have to change schools, but I know it will at least be 2 days for them to send the school transcripts and actually set us up in classes there."
Pan nodded to show she understood and silently walked into the school.
Authors notes: Ok Jen, good luck with the next chapter. I can't wait to read it!!!
