hey there its Shelly again. my rabbit and I decided to write another chapter of our story! I really am excited about this story, people really seem to like it. before I start the next chapter I would like to answer some questions that friends and reviews. I haven't seen all of DBZ but I have seen enough to estimate that Goten was only about 11ish when Pan was born. So that's about how old he is in my fic. Otay I hope you like the new chap!!

I don't own dbz *grrrr* how many times do I have to say that!?!

Trunks and I got to Dende's look out in record time. I can't remember ever flying that fast. When we got there Piccolo was leaning against one of the trees, I didn't think that he would sense our coming.

Trunks went first and I followed as he lead us up to Piccolo. "Hey Piccolo."

Piccolo nodded. My lil fawn popped his head out from inside my shirt. He took one look at Piccolo and stuck his head right back under. "Its alright fawn. He won't hurt you." I looked up at Piccolo, his eyebrow, (well if he would have had any hair on his body it would have been where his eyebrows were.) raised in question to the bundle under my shirt.

"Is Dende around?" I'd answer his questions later. He nodded back toward one of the buildings many entrances. I thanked him as I ran past. I guess Trunks stayed with Piccolo cause he wasn't behind me when I entered. I ran straight down the hall and practically into Mr. Popo. "Sorry!" I called back to him.

"That's alright. Dendes around the corner to your left , the first door to the right. I think he's expecting you." He answered. I followed his directions, in a moment I was knocking on the door.

"Come in Goten." Dende opened the door and stepped back. I didn't take time to look around the room or anything else . I turned around and gently coxed the fawn out of my shirt. He looked up at Dende but didn't seem afraid. I think Dende has a way with animals, at least they know he doesn't mean them harm.

"Could you help this fawn?" I asked Dende. I didn't stop to say hi. I was afraid that if I did I might start to cry. "He slipped on our kitchen floor and crashed into the wall. He won't walk on his front right leg. I think its broken."

Dende quietly examined the fawns leg. "Its broken alright. Sure I can heal it." I smiled up at Dende. Dende wasn't much taller than me. Everyone thought Dende was gonna be tall but he hasn't grown much. Gohan explained it to me once. Nameks aged slower than most other races. So Dende still has some growing yet to do. At least that's how it was explained to me.

Dende's body started to glow, a spark flew from one of his antenna to the other. His healing energy radiated off his body. Dende extended his hands and placed them on my fawn. The fawn winched in fear and pain. He watched Dende's every move. A healing energy engulfed my fawn. In moments Dende opened his eyes. "There ya go. He should be fine now. Put him down , lets see how he walks." I put my fawn on the ground. At first he didn't seem to understand that his leg was better. I gave him a soft nudge with my foot. He stumbled forward trying not to use his leg. Then he put it down. . . he stared down at his leg. He took a few steps to test his leg, seeing that the leg was fine, my fawn bounded into the air. The fawn raced around the room. Only then did I notice that the whole room had carpeting.

Dende opened the door and led me out. The things I didn't pay attention to all hit me like a hammer. My father was here, alone with Trunks' father. As Dende and I stepped out into the sunlight I saw father talking with Piccolo. He smiled as I walked out with my fawn at my heels. The floor now was all tile. My little fawn took every step with caution, placing his foot down slowly then easing his weight onto it. Dad laughed as he watched my fawn walk so slowly. The little guy picked his leg up so high that it hugged his body.

"You had us worried for a moment there son." Dad said as I stepped up to him. I could see the laughter and a bit of worry that lingered in his shining onyx gem s of eyes. "I'm sorry Dad. The fawn broke his leg." I looked down at the fawn . He stared up at Trunks father, it looked like he was deciding wither or not he like the shorter man. I guess Mr. Vegeta intimidated him because he pressed his little body up against my legs. Then he looked at Piccolo. I felt a shiver run through his body. I reached down and scooped him into my arms. He seemed to relax a bit.

"I'm upset son. You did what you had to do. Your taking good care of him." Dad smiled and Vegeta looked away as if bored.

"How did you come across the fawn?" Dende asked. I guess I'd better get used to answering that question. Its not everyday you see a fawn with a boy.

"Dad and I found him and his mother in the woods by our house. His mother had gotten attacked by an animal and dies. So we took the fawn home, instead of just leaving him. " I explained.

"A klutz like him wouldn't last very long." Trunks said with a smile. I agreed with him. He sure was a klutz, Kinda like me.

"We'd better be getting home. Before your mother get angry." Dad said. We all said good-bye and left. Trunks and his father went one way while Dad and I went another. "Bulma invited us all to her place this weekend. When your mother explained about your fawn she said that his could come along too. How bout it?" Dad asked after a moment.

I looked up at my Dad. Why was I given the option not to go. I was never before given the chance to choose wither or not I wanted to go. Was the fawn the only reason.. . or could he tell that something was bothering me lately. I would have to think about that for a while. "Sure Dad! I'd love to go. Why wouldn't I?"

Dad shrugged. "Your mother mentioned something about your fawn not being that used to people. She thought He might get scared.' He smiled down at my fawn. The fawn now loved flying, he looked down at the ground then at the clouds as if nothing could scare him. "I think he'll like it Dad." I looked down at my little fawn and smiled. Sure why wouldn't he? He'd probably love seeing people soon. Dad's smile grew even bigger as we got closer to home.

hope you liked it. the next chapter should be up soon. Im hoping to make it a funny one. So please r&r and tell me what you think.
