****A/N: Here it goes… Sorry! I haven't updated in two days *shudders*!
Last chapter I wrote that there were three more reviews… but! *giggles*
Three more were added while I was writing… Chapter 4 was up literally
within the blink of an eye, and less than five minutes after I posted there
was another reviewer!
Oh yeah… so trunks didn't really decide to talk about it yet, but don't worry… I'll get around to that… maybe after I recover from my Red Bull crash… It was a two day thing… I don't think I'll be drinking very many of them in the future though… They make me too hyper… ^-^.
Thank you…
badgerwolf… for reviewing so quickly! Also thanks for telling me that Goku never did that! I wasn't sure, and somebody else told me the same thing right before I posted Chapter 4… I'm so happy! Gohan and Videl will find out about Pan's tail soon enough… don't sweat it *^~^ (this is a smirk, people)*.
Spongebob… erhm… I'm glad you liked it *sweatdrops*… uhm… Spongebob.
Disclaimer: I forgot for Chapter 4, too… and nobody cared. ****
Bulma POV (^~^)
I stared at the window in Trunks' office. The bars were bent, and that meant that Trunks has been playing hooky again… I couldn't think of any other reason why he would have bent them. Needless to say, I was pissed. I was angry enough that I couldn't remember why I was in his office in the first place (A/N She was in there searching for a business document that she didn't want Trunks to sign…).
He walked in only a moment after I saw the bent bars. He appeared nervous… of course he should… when he saw that I was already here.
"Well, mister? What do you have to say for yourself this time?" I tapped my foot on the floor.
He mumbled something about Pan needing to talk to him the other day.
"Nani (what)?"
"Pan needed to talk to me," he said, looking at the ceiling, "and with the look she had on her face, I didn't think she would want to go through the building…"
"She was upset about something?" I asked, softening. Even Vegeta had a soft spot in his heart for her.
He nodded. "Uhmm, Mom? Why are you here?"
"I was…" Damn, I forgot… What was I here for…? "Oh yeah, there's a business document somewhere in that pile that I wanted to discuss with you before you singed…"
He smiled with relief. His ears were just as sensitive as his father's. When I screamed they both would cover their ears, wincing. He had obviously expected me to start harassing him about the window… But I had better things to do…
Trunks POV- hours later
I was finally back at my desk, a few hours later. The document that she was so worried about was about a Capsule Corps merger. Not gonna happen. It wouldn't have happened anyway, but after Mom giving me such a long lecture on the other company's history of fraud and debt, it's definitely not going to happen…
I had no sooner sat down than there was a loud tapping on the window… again!
It was Pan again. She floated outside my window with a determined look on her face.
What's wrong with her?
I got up to let her in. She floated in, with the intense expression still on her face… I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong this time. "What's wrong, Pan?"
She looked at me questioningly and said, "What happened last night?"
My face started to redden and I rubbed the back of my neck. I had thought that I suppressed my ki fast enough… Apparently, I didn't.
"Uhmm…" I mumbled. How embarrassing! "Sorry…"
"I am NOT asking for an apology. I want to know what happened!"
I really didn't want to tell her… I shook my head. "Well…"
"No excuses, Trunks. The quicker you tell me, the less painful this is gonna be!"
So demanding! I still didn't want to tell her, but survival instincts were turning on… "I had a dream," I started.
She interrupted, "It must have been a really bad one for your ki to rise that high… What was it about?"
"I was getting to that…" I mumbled, "I'm not sure… It's like something really bad is going to happen." I shrugged. There really wasn't an easy way to describe the dream. "He looks like one of us… He looks Saiyajin. He's angry," I stop, puzzled, "I'm not sure why, but he seems to be angry at us…" I laugh and shake my head, "He especially hates Father." I shake my head, "Anyway, it shouldn't be THAT scary. But I've had similar dreams before the really nasty guys appear…"
She looked at me, confused. "Like way back when…"
"Buu was the first one… I dreamed that something big and pink was going to eat me up… I've hated pink ever since…"
"Didn't you ever tell anyone?"
I shook my head, embarrassed.
"So that's why you're always so anxious right beforehand whenever we see anything really nasty." She spoke in enlightened tones. "Can you foretell anything else?" She grinned.
"I don't know… I've always thought I was a really good guesser…" I smiled sheepishly.
"Okay… I'll test you. What am I doing tomorrow?" she grinned.
I lifted an eyebrow. How should I know that? I thought about it for a moment and said, "You're going to… throw a party… and everyone' invited…" I was just throwing out the first thing that came to mind. "You know, the whole gang…"
The strangest look crossed her face. It was a mixture of shock and delight. She giggled. "You are definitely a precog…"
My eyes widened. I was just tossing an idea out. There's nothing psychic about that, is there? "I was just joking Pan!"
"Okay, Trunks, here's the ultimate test… Who's gonna not come? You know, who's gonna miss out?"
I thought about it for a moment. Images came unbidden to my mind. Tien and Chiaotzu would be busy… Yamcha wouldn't come, because he hated being around Vegeta. Puar would stay with Yamcha. Piccolo would be training… "Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Puar and Piccolo won't come…"
Pan laughed. "This is fun! Will there be any unexpected guests?"
Pan POV
Trunks is so funny sometimes, especially at times like this. When I asked him if there would be any uninvited guests, though, he got a glazed look in his eyes… It was kind of freaky.
"Your grandpa," he said, shaking his head. The look on his face was closer to normal, only confused.
"Grandpa Satan?" I asked, horrified. I did NOT want him ruining my party!
"No… the other one. That's too weird though." He grinned and shook his head. "Not happening… But that was what came to mind." His grin turned sheepish.
"Bye, Trunks," I said about ten minutes later, floating out of his office window using my ki. The poor guy couldn't help being cute… I laughed as I proceeded home.
Trunks POV
It was getting kind of late when I looked out the window to see that it was already dark. The full moon stared peacefully at me. I smiled at it, thinking that perhaps I ought to leave early. I loved flying when the moon was full. It lit up the landscape in a fashion that the sun couldn't compete with.
I sighed and walked to the window to get a better look. I opened my window and had prepared to go through it when a sudden thought occurred to me. The thought was something like this: Pan + tail + full moon = Oozaru… It was a very bad thought.
I ran to the telephone, wishing, not for the first time, that I was a telepath, like my father. I picked up the phone and dialed Gohan's phone number too quickly for the small machine to pick up. I had to hang up and try again… slowly.
Gohan picked up the phone. "Moshi, moshi (A/N something like "hello, hello"). This is the Son residence."
"Ah, Gohan? Can I please talk to Pan?" I asked… Hopefully she hasn't left the house yet…
"Oooh… Trunks, you called just in time… PAN, HONEY, TELEPHONE!" he called to his daughter. I heard the phone switch hands, and Pan's voice replaced Gohan's.
"Moshi, moshi."
"Pan?"
"Hai? Trunks? What's wrong?"
"You aren't planning on going somewhere tonight are you?"
"Actually, yeah, I am. Why?"
"It's a full moon out tonight."
I heard a gasp of shock on from the other end. "I forgot. I almost goofed, big time, huh?"
"Hai. I only just realized it myself. I was about to leave. I looked out the window and stared at the moon for a moment before I remembered."
"Daddy?" she was obviously speaking to her dad, "I forgot something… it looks like I'm not going anywhere tonight. I forgot something very important…" she paused.
I could hear Gohan's voice in the background, "That's too bad honey. I know you were looking forward to this…"
"I can do it later," Pan said firmly.
"Uhmm, Pan?" I asked.
"Nani?"
"If you want, I'll send Bra over to keep you company…"
"Can you come too?"
Why would she want me to come over?
"And Uncle Goten…?"
"Why?"
"Well…" she lowered her voice, "Mom and Dad are going somewhere tonight… We can have a pre-party." She laughed quietly.
"I suppose I could… I was going to leave early anyhow…"
"Yay! This more than makes up for what I'm missing out on… Make sure Goten is willing to come here, though. We don't need an unwilling Goten hanging around here…"
"It'll take me a while to get there… unless you want me to come wearing a business suit…"
"That would be funny, but that's not a good idea."
"Okay… See you in a couple hours?"
"Hai."
****Wow! That one was long… Okay, I still haven't gotten to Matt yet… And I called the Oozaru an ape monster before, but that was because Pan and Bra couldn't remember what it was called…
Anywho, it's preview time! Yay! *dances excitedly in chair* Have had no red Bull or Blue Ox since… in two days, anyway…
Preview: Late night party at Pan's… Giant group discussion. Pan makes a slip, and What's this? Gohan and Videl? Home early?
Hey peeps! Why ain't yous reviewin?
