Author's Note: Hello everyone. Here I am again. I updated last night, and now you peeps want another chapter of "Promises" to go with the epilogue of "Confessions". In fact Shinou has gotten so angry at my updating habits that she has locked me in a closet with a computer until I update regularly! *Pounds on door* Shinou, I'm hungry!!

Shinou: You can get out when you finish updating that chapter! *Evil cackles* Besides, last time I tried to cook I burned the kitchen down.

Kat and Dragontwin: THE KITCHEN! YOU KNOW WHERE THE KITCHEN IS? HELP US CHI!!!!

Shinou: *Throws back head and laughs even more evilly.* Chi isn't here! She's at the park with her friends! You cannot escape my wrath!

Kat and Dragontwin: Review and tell the Evil Shinou that she has to let me out! After all, I put her in this fic! Come on you guys!!!

Promises-Chapter 3 Dragontwin and Kat

Pan sighed. She didn't feel like she was ready for this. Without Goku, her grandmother Chichi was making a slow decline toward being senile, and sometimes couldn't even remember Pan's name. She could remember Goku's, though, and that was all she talked about. She was really looking forward to seeing her husband again, and in the moments where she could remember Pan's name, she apologized for being so absent minded.

"Grandma Chichi? Grandma Chichi!" What if the old woman had wandered off? What if she had fallen? What if she had an appointment somewhere else and had forgotten to tell Pan? A million questions were running through her mind, and none of them seemed to make sense. She ran down the hall to the old woman's room. She told herself to breathe deep. Opening the door a crack, she peaked in. Chichi was lying on the bed, apparently asleep. *Grandma never sleeps in this late,* Pan thought in desperation. Running over to the bed, her breath caught in her throat. Her eyes closed, Chichi looked more at peace than Pan had ever seen her. She leaned over and felt for a pulse. There was none.
