CHAPTER SEVEN- The Return
******************************************************************
"Uh... Hi Mom...hehehe... you guys are home early.... How was America?"
Bulma glared at him "Trunks! I can't believe you! I tell u to watch over a 9 year old and when I get back here you are with some strange girl and no Pan in sight! Where is she anyway? On hello Marron! My dear, did you run the whole way here? You look so exhausted!"
"I'm fine Miss Bulma, it's these 2 little twerps that won't be fine when I'm done with them!"
Bulma glared at Trunks. "What have you been doing to poor Marron?
"Poor Marron?!" screamed Trunks, "Poor Marron?! What about poor us? We're the ones who've been locked in my office for practically a week!"
"You were? And who is this friend of yours? Was she locked in your office with you?"
"Yes!"
"Trunks Vegeta Briefs! What exactly were you doing in your office?" yelled Bulma.
"Mom!" yelled back Trunks, "We didn't do anything!"
"Oh good! So? Are you going to introduce me to her or not?"
She obviously didn't notice the extremely odd looks Vegeta was giving Pan. He could read her ki, and knew who she was, but it just didn't make sense to him. So he decided to listen to Trunk's explanation.
"Okay. Mom, don't freak out but-"he was cut off because a car had just pulled into the driveway. And in this car-
"Hey Bulma! Hey Trunks! Sorry we came back so early but we missed Pan so much and we hate making you watch over her. So where is she?" said Gohan.
"Well Trunks was just going to tell me that and introduce me to his new girlfriend inside. So why don't we go inside?" said Bulma.
"Alright, let's go in." said Videl.
"Vegeta, are you coming or not?"
But Vegeta just looked at Gohan and said "Don't you feel her ki? Don't you know who she is?"
Gohan focused his senses and read Pan's ki. He dropped the suitcase he was holding in his hand.
"Let's go in. I need to hear this explanation." He said.
So they all went in, Bulma, Videl, Marron, and Bra all looking extremely confused.
So Pan started her explanation:
"Well, it started with a phone call..."
She had told them the whole story except the parts where Trunks tried to kiss her and in that genre. They all sat in shock. Bulma actually looked excited because now she knew that her machine worked. Gohan and Videl just couldn't believe that this was their little Panny! Bra wanted to go through the machine to just to see what she looked like when she was older. Marron was feeling guilty for calling Pan a slut.
Then Bulma said " Well, I had better start fixing that machine! I still don't understand how it could break... my design was fool proof!"
They waited awhile and the whole time Gohan and Videl kept pestering Pan and Trunks with questions about what they did while they were on vacation. Finally, Bulma was done.
"Well, the only thing that still mystifies me about the machine is how it broke. The wires look almost like they were broken on purpose by someone!" she said.
Trunks gave Pan a very accusing glare. Pan smiled sheepishly and said,
"Well... maybe some rats ate it?"
"Pan, some rats ate the wire in the 2 minutes we were away from the machine? You are sooooo dead!" said Trunks.
"Pan, Trunks!" said Marron, "AI am so sorry for locking you in your Saiyan proof office! And Pan I am so sorry I called you a slut! I didn't know it was you! Hey wait-a-minute... Trunks! She's nine years old! And you were..."
"They were what?" said Gohan while glaring at Trunks.
Trunks and Pan gave Marron very pleading looks. Marron smiled.
"Well, nothing, just Trunks took Pan to a bar."
Trunks and Pan let out the breaths the had been holding.
"WHAT?" screamed Gohan, "She's only NINE YEARS OLD Trunks! What were you thinking!"
"You know what?" said Trunks, "I don't know."
"And Daddy," said Pan, "I was 22 at the time."
"I don't care! Did he let you drink alcohol?" yelled a very pissed off Gohan.
Pan and Trunks just smiled and walked away, Gohan giving Trunks death glares.
They went to Bulma's lab. It was time for Pan to become nine again.
"Daddy, can't I just stay 22?" she asked.
"No! Are you crazy! Do you want to miss 13 years of your life? You're nine and you're staying that way!"
Now Pan said her goodbye to Trunks.
"Goodbye Trunks. I guess this means that we'll have to forget everything that happened. My 22 year old self will miss you."
"Bye bye Pan. I'll miss you're 22 year old self too. I guess I'll have to wait to see her again."
Pan quickly gave Trunks a last kiss on the lips. Then she ran in the BM before Gohan could kill her. But she could still hear him yelling his lungs out at Trunks.
She looked at the controls which she had just set to make her 13 years younger. She was going to be nine again and she couldn't stand it. Trunks wouldn't wait 13 years for her. 14 years apart were just too much. She guiltily changed the controls to make her 12 years younger. (ooooo naughty Pan!)
She stepped out of the machine a 10 year old who was supposed to be nine. She looked at Trunks, who's face was turning blue from Gohan's hands clasped so tightly around his neck. He let go when he saw Pan come out of the machine.
"Pan!", he screamed, "What were you thinking kissing Trunks like that! Well it doesn't matter, its all in the past, how do you feel?"
"Short," she answered. Then she, Trunks, Bra, and Marron all went upstairs to go on with their lives.
LATER
Bulma was cleaning her machine out when she noticed what the control panel read: twelve years younger.
"Omigod!" she said, "Pan's made herself 10!"
