"Mom?" Pan grabbed an apple and bit in it. "Dwid you swee Gotwen?"

Videl stared at her daughter. "Err..If you're talking about Goten, he said he was going to see Trunks about something."

She dropped the apple. "He WHAT?!" she yelled and rushed off.

"Pan! What's going on?!" Videl tried asking, but before she even could, her daugher was gone.

Pan flew off to Capsule Corp, hoping she was still in time. How on EARTH could Goten do such a thing like that. He wasn't going to say something to Trunks, was he??

Suddenly she felt a ki flare up. "No!!" she whispered.

And a bit further away she could see two figures in the air, one Super Sayian, the other still recognizable by his scruffy black hair.

"Goten!" she yelled as she rushed off to the scene.

"Pan! Stop them!" a voice from below sounded. Pan looked down and saw Bra, dialing a number in her cell phone, while looking at the two boys, growling at each other.

"Trunks, stop this." Goten looked at his best friend.

"You came for this, didn't you? Why else confront me like you did?" Trunks said with a cold voice.

Pan stopped behind Goten. "Why did you do this, Goten?" she whispered in his ear.

Goten shook his head. "Stay out of this Panny. I couldn't let him get away with this."

"Pan. What did you tell him?" Trunks turned to the raven haired girl.

She glanced at him. "The truth." She backed away.

"Get out of here Panny." Goten warned her. Trunks powered up, his golden aura growing.

Pan shook her head. "Trunks. Turn back, please."

He looked at her. "What did I do Pan? You wanted it, I know it. You didn't object."

She cringed. Remembered his touch, his force. "I never wanted it like that.." she said softly.

Goten growled. "Trunks. This has NOTHING to do with what she wanted. You went to far, how could you ever do this to her?"

Pan shook her head. "Please, not because of me.."

"Shut up. You turned my best friend against me, and nearly ruined my relationship with Maron!" Trunks continued.

"What!" she flashed up. "You.. came to me with your problems! And it seemed to me, Maron and you were perfectly happy the other day! How on earth can you blame me Trunks!"

Trunks narrowed his eyes and mouthed the words "fuck you pan".

Goten snapped at the sight of this. "Enough! Bastard!" he said as he punched the Super Sayian.

"Goten, No!" Bra yelled from below. "What are you guys doing!" she tried, but the young demi sayian wasn't able to fly and had to watch from the ground.

"That didn't hurt a bit, pal. You've softened up a lot. That was low of you, Goten." Trunks reacted with a dark voice.

"Shut up Trunks. Just ..shut up!" Goten's black hair spiked up and turned golden.

Trunks smirked in an Vegeta like way, and grinned at Pan. "Looks like your loveable uncle is challenging me. Thanks a lot Pan."

"I'm not challenging anyone. I'm just trying to get an explanation out of you, and you insult my best friend!" Goten snarled.

Trunks rubbed his jaw. "So now SHE'S your best friend, huh? She's not just your niece anymore, but she took MY place?"



Goten blushed, despite his golden aura. Pan blinked. It WAS true. Somehow they grew closer together. She looked down at Bra, and realized, she always ran to Goten, she could never tell everything to Bra. Goten looked at Pan for a second, realizing what they shared. She smiled shyly.



"You're right." Goten nodded. "Maybe Pan is more than just my niece. She's one of the most important things in my life."

Trunks hmphed.

"But that's just it, Trunks. You have no right to treat her like that!" Goten yelled. "Apologize." He stressed.

Pan closed her eyes. "This is all wrong." She whispered.

"Goten. You can't be serious." Trunks laughed. "I won't apologize, now are you intending to fight me or what?"

Goten's eyes spat fire. "What is wrong with you Trunks?! You have changed!"

"No Goten, you have! I don't get this thing with you and Pan. But I'm sick and tired of this arguing about the pathetic girl."

"I AM RIGHT HERE!" Pan screamed.

Trunks snarled at her. "I can see that, now shut up Pan! You're the one responsible for this mess."

Pan snapped. "How could you Trunks!" she yelled as she stormed towards the Super Sayian.

"Watch it!" he yelled and kicked her away.

"Pan!" Goten yelled as he attacked his former best friend. He placed a well aimed kick in his stomach, but Trunks responded quickly with a punch in the face.

Pan tried to get up from the ground, but Bra held her down. "Be careful! Why are they fighting? Why are you attacking Trunks!" she asked.

"Bra, you don't understand..he did..I.." Bra looked at her, not understanding. "It's too complicated, I have to stop them!"

As the two Super Sayian continued their attack on each other, Pan watched in terror. They were equally matched, and able to block almost every attack.

She had placed them against each other. With a sad look on her face she shook her head. "No.." she whispered. "No! Stop it!!" she yelled.

"Knock it off you two!" A familiar voice sounded.

"Ubuu!" Bra yelled relieved. Pan looked at her. "I phoned him, just before you came." She explained.

Trunks glared at Ubuu. "Stay out if this, Uub.." he growled.

"Trunks, you wouldn't hurt him as well, would you? Maybe you would.. you're the one who's been acting like a bastard lately.." Goten panted, while trying to stop a nose bleed.

"I don't know what's going on, but you two have got to stop this fight."





The shy guy with his Mohawk haircut looked at his two friends. He had a dark look on his face, obviously pisses by these events. The fighters could feel his power level rise. Even though not Sayian, Uub was a real threat, especially since he had NOT given up his training.

Pan flew up, grabbing Gotens hand. "Stop it, okay?"

Goten nodded and left his Sayian form. Trunks followed his example.

Ubuu looked from one to the other. "Pan, I think it's best if you left with Goten. You all right?"

"I'm okay Uub. Thanks." She said softly.

"Don't thank me yet. Just leave." He ordered. "And you're going inside Trunks." He said simply, before flying towards Bra, and embracing her in a hug.

"Let's go Panny.." Goten said and took off.

Pan looked at Bra for a moment, then looked at Trunks who landed as well. "Bye." She simply said and followed Goten.



"Wait up Goten!" Pan yelled as she tried to catch up.

Goten slowed down and tried to smile at her.

"For what it's worth Goten-kun.. Thanks." He didn't respond. "And sorry.." she added.

"Don't be sorry P-chan. You never EVER did anything wrong. I just.. don't understand what has gotten into him. I'm so angry at him!! He won't ever touch you again. He won't ever hurt your feelings again like that."

Pan stopped and stared at him. Tears ran down her cheek. "You're everything to me Goten.." she realized.

Goten stopped his rambling and looked at his niece. "You're crying!"

She giggled. "Well duh silly. Not really! I'm glad you're with me, Goten." She said as she nuzzled her head onto his chest.



A smile appeared on Gotens face. How was she able to take all the anger away from her? How was it possible he felt complete when she was around? This girl was awesome. So special. It must have been an odd sight. Up in the air, two figures embraced each other. If you didn't know better, you'd say the two were a couple. However right that may seem, Goten was still Pan's uncle. But at that moment the girl noticed she felt something else. More..
