****A/N: Sorry!!! The writer's block fairy struck again! And I struck
back… Anybody know how I can get my own Saiyajin? They are just so cute!…
except for Nappa…
Oh, yeah! Sorry! I remember why he's called Boxer-boy, now… Underwear! Duh, me!
Thank you…
pAn_ChAn… Okay… so I'm sorry about the waiting… I've seen some who wait whole months before adding onto their stories… the longest I've waited so far was ONE week! I'm sorry about the length of my chapters, too, but like I said before… I've seen much worse! I'm glad that you like the plot though… You know, you put up your review like right before I put up the next chapter? Hee hee…
badgerwolf… Yeah, maybe Gohan might be a little pissed… *grins crazy* Poor Panny-chan… I love tails too… And you know? I always wanted one… *attempted glomp, misses* Damn it!
Disclaimer: Wow! I remembered three times in a row! If you think I own it, you're nuts!!! If you want to get it for me… I'd love you forever *huggles*. Yay! I didn't miss!****
Gohan POV
I stared at my daughter's back… or, more precisely, at her tail. Videl walked in behind me. "Pan," I asked, "What is this?"
"Uhmmm…" she replied.
"When did it grow back?" I asked sternly.
"Yesterday morning," she said, almost inaudibly. Then her eyes snapped with anger. "I'm an adult now, Daddy! I don't have to tell you everything that happens to me!"
"Panny-chan, just think what would have happened if you had left the house earlier? While the moon was still up?" I said calmly. I was taking it a lot better than Videl… I suppose that she had forgotten what I had told her about the tendency of a Saiyajin's tail to grow back at the strangest moments… I glanced at her sympathetically. It was just as much of a shock to me, I suppose, that Panny-chan's tail grew back. Although my reason for shock was the full moon, which had just gone down. "If you were a child, you would be grounded for this…" I shook my head dolefully. "As it is, you had better pay very close attention to the phase of the moon from now on…"
Pan blinked. She obviously had thought that I would be seriously pissed…
Pan POV
"You're not mad…?" I asked incredulously. I had been prepared to get majorly chewed out… by Dad, not Mom.
"Pan!!! People are going to think you're a freak! The Great Hercule Satan's granddaughter has a tail!"
Goten snickered, once, and Mom rounded on him. "What do you think is so funny?" she nearly shrieked.
"Well… All of us Demi-Saiyajin have tails. Erhm, rather, HAD them… I think Trunks' grew back once…"
"When I was little," Trunks nodded, "Mom was a little upset and had it chopped off right away…"
Trunks POV
I remembered my tail… I had wailed at Mother, saying that I wanted to keep my tail. Surprisingly enough, Father took my part, saying that it was wrong to cut off a Saiyajin's tail. Obviously, she had it chopped off anyway…
Gohan blinked at me. "When did that happen?"
"You don't remember? Iie," I shook my head, "of course you wouldn't remember. It was right around the time that Panny-chan was born…" (A/N I don't know if that really happened… it probably didn't… so my story may be a little AU. No biggie.)
"Yeah…" Goten shook his head sadly, "Bulma had it cut off so fast that I never even saw it."
I stood up. "What you all say? I think it's about time for all of us to go to bed…"
"Hai," grumbled four voices… Videl was still steaming.
So that's it… we all left, and next thing I knew, my alarm beside my bed was going off.
It was morning.
Goten POV
It was such a lovely morning… So far, it looks like Trunks is right; Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Puar and Piccolo aren't here yet. Somehow, I doubt that any of them will be today…
My dad wasn't here yet either… if he actually was coming… And you know what? I actually think he is going to come. When Trunks says that something is going to happen, it usually does… especially the weird ones. You gotta admit, Dad coming back would be really weird… I mean, he's been gone a long time now.
I glanced at my own behind wishing for the hundredth time since last night that Mom hadn't had my tail chopped off (A/N Don't you just love how they think of it?). I sighed and thought, maybe, just maybe, it would grow back some day. I sighed again, remembering that day, oh so long ago, that I asked Mom why I didn't have a tail…
****flashback****
He stared at the picture on the wall. It was a picture of his big brother Gohan and a man who looked kind of like HIM. The man had a big smile on his face and was lifting a chibi (little) Gohan into the air. Goten assumed that the man in the picture was their father.
The picture itself wasn't too remarkable… but there was something strange about it… In the picture, Gohan had a tail.
Goten thought about it for a moment. Gohan was his brother, and if Gohan had had a tail, why didn't he?
"Mommy?" he asked, walking into the kitchen. She was always in the kitchen back then.
"Hai? What is it Goten?"
"I was lookin' at a picture on the wall… And I was wondering…"
"Nani?" she encouraged him.
"Gohan had a tail in it… Why don't I have a tail?"
He was cut off by her shriek… He didn't have a tail because she didn't want to see him turn into a monster just because he happened to look at the full moon…
At the time, Chibi Goten noted that there wasn't a moon anymore… He learned that at school…
****end flashback****
I shook my head. Dad had wished the moon back way later… and of course Mom had given me a bum answer… (A/N Goten always seems so sweet and innocent…)
Pan POV
Okay… So far, Trunks' prediction is correct. Everybody was here except Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Puar and Piccolo. Of course, I didn't see any sign of Grandpa Goku. I'm just glad that he didn't predict Grandpa Satan crashing my party… he would drag reporters galore after him, and if there was one thing in this world that I hated more than my ex-boyfriend, it was reporters.
I searched the lawn visually until I spotted…Trunks. He was leaned up against a tree at the edge of the party. I frowned. Something just wasn't right with this picture. At a party, he would normally be over with Goten, eating. All I could say for sure was that something was wrong.
"Trunks?" I asked quietly, walking up to him.
"Nani?" he growled.
"Kuso (Damn it), Trunks," I hissed, taking him by surprise, "I was just going to be nice and ask you what's wrong! Instead, I'm going to ask, 'Why in the HFIL do you keep growling…?!' You've been doing that since last night!"
He stared at me with his eyes wide. "Gomen (sorry)," Kami! He was still growling!
"You're still doing it!"
Trunks POV
I forced my voice back to normal. "Gomen nasai (very sorry)."
"Arigatou (thank you), I was kind of wondering about that… and you know that it's not the apology that I want. I want to know what's up!"
Kuso! She's going to try and make me say it, isn't she?
"Well?"
I reached out and touched her face, "Feel any different?"
She purred. "What am I supposed to feel?"
"Doesn't matter…" I trailed off. I was bonding to her… If she didn't feel it, then it was a one sided bond… and from what I know, that's very unhealthy… If she wasn't bonding to me as I was to her, I would probably die, literally.
"Now, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," I growled.
"There you are! You're doing it again! And you know that I won't leave you alone until you tell me, so… do so."
"It doesn't matter…" I suppose if I told her, it would only hurt her…
All of a sudden we heard ChiChi shriek. What in the HFIL was happening to cause her to shriek like that?
"I'll make you tell me later, Trunks. So don't think you're getting away with this…!"
We ran to where the horrible racket was coming from, all the while holding our ears tightly. We found ChiChi there, with her frying pan… I swear, Pan was named after that thing…, glaring at a young Saiyajin who held his head and tried to apologize for being gone… again… for such a long time.
"Grandpa!" Pan shouted.
"Kakkarot…" Vegeta was astounded.
Everybody else cried out joyfully, "Son Kun!"
****Wow! I turned out the last chapter, like, yesterday! Yay! Kami is sooo good! I'm sorry if it was short… but it was longer than some of my others!!! I finally turned out a romantic part! Yay! And Son Kun came back! Yay…! Erh-herhm…
Okay peeps! It's preview time!!!
Preview: Son Kun has returned… Why the "young" bit? You'll find out next time, maybe… When will Pan get Trunks alone, so that she can talk to him? And just what occupied Goku's free time while he was away? Is ChiChi satisfied with his apology? Will I get more reviews? We'll find out all this and much, much more, next time on… "not sure yet"…!
Oh, yeah! Sorry! I remember why he's called Boxer-boy, now… Underwear! Duh, me!
