Sorry I took so long... I ran out of stock chapters (pre-written) and then
I wasn't happy with this so I redid *6 WHOLE PAGES*!!! It is very heart-
wrenching to put a line through my little baby - I nurtured it, gave it
a home-
I'll stop now. K - A bright NEW, fresh chapter. I had just read a few GOOD t/p fics before I wrote this, so if you're picking anything up, it may be 'cos of my mood. (Sorry Ryoko and Tyleet :) ) So - read on.
And please review. I can't stress how much I loooooooooooove poring over them. And thanks to: Kitten, Bulma, Tyleet and Ryoko for reviewing most recently. You actually got me motivated to type this chappie up STRAIGHT AWAY! (I'm usually the best procrastinator in the world.

Disclaimer: unlike other people, I'm not unhappy to say I don't own DBZ/GT or any of its components, characters, whatever. (I DON'T) Maybe 'cos I know I would stuff things up if I owned it and it wouldn't be as good. And if I WAS making ANY money off this, I'd buy myself a new pillow. PLEASE review and PLEASE continue. (Enough of my rantings and ravings)
^ means an *, but since I use them elsewhere, I decided to use an ^ for special Author's Notes.
AND THIS CHAPPIE is dedicated to TYLEET (Sorry I didn't bring it out on your birthday!)
'Now I feel kinda sad.'
For some strange reason, our lovable lavender mop. AKA Trunks Briefs, is considering he might have *hurt* (A.N *wince*. If only he knew) Pan.
'She just blows up in my face and I can't figure out why.'
(A.N. sorry - but usually at this point in a t/p, we all pull our hair out and scream at Trunks to admit to Pan he loves her. *sigh* What a perfect story. *grins evilly*)
Marron strode in. "Can't figure out what?" She wore tight red pants and a matching shimmer top. Enough to make any normal^ man shiver with anticipation and desire.
"That we need to spend ...'time' together?"
She said in a seductive tone. (It's a bit weird, I know. Trunks is still in his 14-yr-old body, but he has his mind. Marron wouldn't want to do anything SERIOUS)
Surprisingly, Trunks shrugged off his girlfriend with no reaction whatsoever. He still seemed too deep in thought to notice anything. Marron tried again. "Trunks-kun.I think-"
"Quit it Maroon! Can't you see I'm not in the mood?"
She straightened up and looked him in the eye.
"Tell me then." Trunks gave a queer look. "Trunks Briefs tell me why you're NEVER in the mood. Is there something wrong with me... or are" He gave a pained look. "There's nothing-" she held up a hand.
"No. Let me finish. There is something going on here, Trunks, and if you don't change the way you're acting to me or if I don't get any response - I'm gone."
Closing the door of their apartment with a bang, Marron was gone in a flick of her hair.
'No, Marron. There's nothing wrong with you.' Trunks thinks of Pan. 'It's me. There's something wrong with me....'

^What IS normal? Is there such a thing?

(Now, where did we leave Pan? And I know I said Dende & Mr Popo would be in this chapter, so I'll try and make it up for you. {ESP. you, Kittioto} Special cameo appearance by Piccolo! *grins*)
Pan didn't bother ringing before she left. That would mean an extra call from home, and that meant she'd have to go all the way back there. Also, she didn't have any change for a payphone.
Instead, she flew right on over to Capsule Corp, failing to recognise Bra's ki in the distance.

Bra landed at Dende's lookout and noticed Gohan. He had only just arrived. Gohan acknowledged her presence with a nod and called out-
"Mr Popo!" The genie-man looked up from some pot plants on the other side of the lookout.
"Gohan, what a surprise. Hello. And how are you Bra? It's been quite a while."
"...Umm, yes. Listen, Mr Popo, can you get Dende? I need to ask for his help."
"And I have some questions," Gohan added, straightening his tail.
The genie left to find Dende, who was somewhere on the lookout platform.
"I like your belt," Gohan said gruffly.
Bra blushed and unravelled the tail that was wrapped around her waist.
"When did you get yours back? We haven't seen you and Videl for AGES." Gohan grinned sheepishly.
"Yeah, sorry. I know Goten has made up for it. (Bra blushes again) You know what? Our tails is something I want to ask Dende about. I've learnt enough about Saiyan heritage to realise tails don't just pop up in the middle of the night. And my power's gone up^ a little. I know that when we have tails we're more powerful then usual but..."
"something funny's going on. My father said his power went DOWN a little, like the same level as when I was just born-you know all this training he's been doing since then-but it's weird. Why?"
At this point, Mr Popo had returned, and with Dende.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
^just like in the Buu saga, Gohan's power had gone down 'cos he hadn't been training for ages. So, with his tail, he becomes stronger. If you don't get it, please say so. I think sometimes I make things too complicated even for myself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
"Dende! Long time no-"
Bra butted in, remembering her main reason for coming.
"Do you have any senzu's? Only my mum's sick and Trunks took the last of them with him and Korrin doesn't have any." Dende gave a sympathetic look.
"Sorry, Bra. We used to have a stock pile up here on the lookout but now we have none left."
Bra fidgeted anxiously.
"Is there anything you could do? I mean you're the GUARDIAN OF THE EARTH!
Gohan gave quizzical l0ooks all around. 'I've never known Bulma to be sick. Except when she was pregnant with Bra. Otherwise she was always loud and busy.'
"Even my power must have its limits. But if you could bring her up here safely I could heal her."
She snapped her fingers at the news. How could she have forgotten that Dende was able to heal? Bra flicked open her mobile phone and called her father, who WAS capable of using the modern human technology. (A.N. Come on, Vegeta's not THAT inept/stupid-tee hee. But being serious; I once read a post GT b/v fic where he wasn't able to even turn on the TV!)
While Bra was still talking to Vegeta, Gohan proceeded to ask Dende about the tail & power level issue.
When Bra finally said 'goodbye', she heard Dende finish a sentence-
"I'm sure you'll find out soon. Someone would be very hurt if I told you myself.b They need a chance. bGive it to them. Let them tell you themselves – when they are ready.
Gohan frowned.
"Oh..I guess I'll just have to wait. I'm going back home. Bra, you leaving yet?"
"You know, Gohan, you can visit every now and then. By the way, Piccolo wanted to see you."
(Gohan:heheheh)
"Okay. Bra?"
"Umm. Yeah. Dende, I'll try and bring up mum as soon as possible."
Both half-Saiyans raised their ki's a little and hovered above the ground, Gohan giving a final wave to the Namek & Mr Popo before they shot away.
**************************************************************************** *********

Dende peered over the edge of the lookout.
"Look at them. I can tell that they will bond, but one of them doesn't seem quite ready. Perhaps there is a different path for them to take. (AN – I'm sorry if he sounds all philosophical and deep-minded. And BTW, this is a little while after Gohan an Bra left)
"I hope things turn out all right. Pan isn't dealing with her current feelings all that well. Perhaps you could-"
"Indeed, Mr Popo. It seems a new type of relationship is apparent in their hearts. But I cannot interfere, even with all the powers I possess. It wouldn't be right." Mr Popo fiddled around with the pot plants.
"The loss of Bulma will be a great blow to them all."
