A/N:: *sighs apologetically* sorry this took so long – I've had really bad writer's block. *pouts*
T-chan:: *grins* BUT as soon as she talked to me, ideas came pouring out like rain! ^^
Lexi:: *grins* yeah… that is why you're my muse…
T-chan:: ^___________^`
Vegeta:: *snorts derisively* yeah, whatever women. Just get to the damn story already – they've been waiting long enough.
Lexi:: *waves hand dismissively* ah well – I think most people just skipped this. In fact – I'm willing to make a bet! If at least half of my reviewers comment on reading the author notes and/or disclaimer, I'll give you guys something special for Christmas! *is referring to her readers, btw*
Vegeta:: *shrugs, decides to take her up on the bet, given that he's got nothing to loose*
Lexi:: *hears thought through bond* oh yes you do mister! *evil smirk* winner gets to make loosing party do anything their heart desires!
Vegeta:: *looks slightly less enthused, but pride says he has to go along with it*
T-chan:: *snickering at them both*
Disclaimer:: *grins hopefully* What do I want for Christmas? Oh, I dunno… No, I don't own DBZ… *hinthint* ^__~

Dende cowered away from the irate teenager, cringing and twitching as she screamed at him – alternately kicking him and treading upon his tender head.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME YOU PREVERTED GREEN THING?!?! TURN ME BACK NOW OR KING KAI HELP ME I'LL BLAST YOU TO HELL!!! I'M SIX!!! SIX-YEAR OLDS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THIS!!! I'M GUNNA BLAST YOUR ASS AWAY, YOU HEAR ME?!"
Dende whimpered – how could he not hear? She was screaming so loud blood was trickling from his ears!
Vegeta smirked, crossing his arms and watching in pride as his student abused the green god. It really was amazing how easy it had been to corrupt Kakarott's bratling… It made him wonder if he might be able to accomplish the same thing on the elder Kakabrat, too.
Marron giggled, fingers in her ears as she watched. Pan-chan was funny! She looked over at sensei to see his reaction, and smirked as she saw that he too had stuffed ear plugs in. She found it a bit amusing that the man hadn't tried to make Pan shut up yet, by all accounts, his hearing should be getting a beating even through the ear muffs. It must be his pride that he'd corrupted one of Goku's offspring, she decided at last. The man certainly had a grudge…
~*~
Poor Dende didn't find the situation amusing in the least. The girl had inherited her mother's – and grandmother's – set of lungs. Her intense training and Saiya-jin blood made them even more capacious, and the fact that she'd just grown so much… Let's just say that it wasn't something that someone with super sensitive ears should be subjected to. Dende twitched and mewed as blood trickled out from his unprotected ears. Sometimes it just sucked to be a god with super powerful friends whom you liked to torture – meaning that you got blamed for everything that went wrong in their life…

Gohan gulped, staring after his mother and Videl. Well – he'd better go collect his daughter. …Wherever she was.
Sighing gustily, Gohan took off through the hole in the rood that Tien and Launch had created. Pausing 20 feet up to scan for her ki, he found it flickering dangerously high on top of the Lookout.
~What on Earth? …~
With a shrug, Gohan reached for the button that would transform him into Saiyaman – the class knew who he was anyways, right? What did it matter if they saw him? With a sigh, Gohan shot into the sky towards the Lookout and his daughter.
~*~
Gohan was more than slightly confused at the sight that greeted him upon his arrival. Who was that girl beating up Dende? Not that Gohan minded of course, seeing what the little green brat had done and all… but still! It was the theory of the thing. Gohan transformed back into his normal clothes and approached the screaming teen, curiosity and pain written all over his features. Man but she could scream!
Intent on stopping the pain, Gohan's hand closed over the girl's mouth. "Please! Some of us have sensitive ears!"
The girl fumed, but made no move to escape as the cowering Kami sent him a pathetically thankful look. "Oh thank you Gohan!!! Thank you so much!"
Gohan's glare, however, silenced the young god. "I'm not doing this for you baka – I couldn't care less if she screams your ears off! I'm looking for my daughter."
Dende whimpered and cowered down again as Vegeta smirked – there was hope for this kakabrat yet! Suddenly Gohan grinned evilly – a look completely foreign to his innocent face – and Vegeta had to forcibly stop himself from grinning like the proud prince he was.
"Actually I have every intention of letting her go on!" Gohan continued, oblivious to Vegeta's thoughts on the subject of his increase in the 'bad ass' department. With a meaningful smirk he let her go, popping in some earplugs that Lexi conveniently sent him for the hell of it. He watched passively as the girl continued berating the green god, noting how similar she looked to both his mother and Videl. …And didn't Pan wear a bandana like that? …
~*~
STOP!!! *scene pauses so Gohan can do some analyzing*
1) Looks like Videl
2) Looks like mom
3) Sounds like both with serious case of PMS
4) Wearing Pan's bandana
5) Hanging out with Vegeta
6) …Has a tail???
START!!! *scene continues without waiting for Gohan to come to the obvious conclusion*
~*~
"PANNY????"
The rest of the crew on the Lookout paused in what they were doing to look at the boy with curiosity. Gohan's mouth was hanging open with shock written all over his face, and he was looking rather faint.
"Yeah daddy?"
"Uhm… Aren't…Aren't you…" at a loss for words, Gohan gestured helplessly at a height slightly below his waist.
Pan scowled. "I'm supposed to be. I would be if that stupid scum-bag green-butt hadn't done something to me!"
Gohan snapped out of his shock to snarl at Dende. "You, brat, are sooooo dead."
Dende gulped and wished with all his heart that he wasn't currently having trouble with staying off planet.

A/N:: *grins* again, I apologize for the loooooong update wait! /__\ Tell you what – to make it up to you, I'll be extra fast with this next chapter!!! … heh heh…
T-chan:: -_-` you promised to be quick with this chapter, too.
Lexi:: *still laughing nervously* um, yeah, I guess I did… .
T-chan:: 99 (= *rolling eyes*)
Lexi:: ^__^n
Vegeta:: *snorts* you should also apologize for how insanely short this is.
Lexi:: *gulp* uh, yeah – sorry 'bout that too, guys… ^^
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
