I don't own DB/Z/GT

Pan thinking = ( & )

Just as Joe was making his way upstairs Pan started to think.

How did we get hooked up with these guys? We would have never survived with out them. Hmm. Oh yeah, I remember. It was because of Eighteen. With out her we would have been dead from the start. But I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't been killed that day. Would we have come as far as we are now? Would we be dead?

Pan glanced at Marron, who was sitting in a chair next to her. She was biting her nails. One of Marron's biggest habits that she was trying so hard to quit. Pan always did hate it when she did that.

Not gonna even try to get her to stop now

Pan looked at the ground again.

God, I wish Eighteen was back. Yet sometimes I am glad she's not. But I would never tell Marron that. I just felt like Marron was always the lucky one. Marron didn't lose all her family. She didn't lose everything. And Eighteen always loved her more than me, but I understand that. How could she not? Marron was her daughter. But now I feel that Marron and I are on the same level.

Out of the blue Pan sighed.

God-Dammit! I am so fucking selfish. Is that all I do, think about my self. I should never wish anyone's death. How can I even think that? How can I feel that?

Marron turned toward Pan.

"Is everything okay? You look down in the dumps. What's up"?

"Oh…well I was thinking about your mom. Do you ever think about her or do you try to forget."

Marron sighed and stood up. "How can I forget? I try to, but it's hopeless. I remember everything about her. But I can't forget her. I can't forget the day she died."

::Flashback::

"Mom, me and Pan are really hungry. Can we go and try to find some food?" said a 10-year-old girl with blonde hair that was getting darker each year.

A women that looked a lot like the young girl stood up from the floor of their little dark apartment and stretched a bit before answering. Then gave a glare to her daughter.

"I mean can Pan and I, go get some food." The younger girl asked while rolling her eyes.

"I don't know Marron," Eighteen started. "I have a bad feeling. I think we should stay home for today. Don't get me wrong, I am as hungry as the next person but…"

"Mom please…we haven't ate anything for the last 3 days." Marron said grabbing her stomach.

"Yeah," Pan finally chimed in. "We are really hungry. Please Eighteen."

They both gave her the puppy dog eyes.

"Okay. Fine." Eighteen sighed. "Lets go."

When they walked outside, the rain started to sprinkle on them. They continued down the street until Eighteen came to a stop.

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Marron asked quite loudly.

"Shh…someone is watching us. Be quiet." Eighteen whispered.

Pan started looking around and was getting worried. And out of nowhere some one grabbed her and ran.

"Help! Eighteen! Marron! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Pan screamed as the unknown person ran with her in his arms. She tried to kick him but he had her in some kind of lock. Eighteen and Marron ran after her but it was hard to catch up. He ran into an empty ally where he stood waiting. When Eighteen got there she started yelling at him.

"Let go of her you stupid son of a bitch, before I grab your leg and shove it up your ass."

The man smirked. "I think not," he said before snapping his fingers and two other men came out of the shadows. There tails wrapped around their waist.

"What?" Eighteen looked around. "You had this planned," she sneered. Just then she remembered the girls. "Fine, you can do as you wish with me," she glared. "As long as you let the children go."

"Whatever, they were of no use anyway."

Just before he let Pan go he whispered, "There is something different about you…"

As Pan fell on the ground she was in shock. Eighteen had to give that "what are you standing around get out of here" looks before she could start to move again. Then she was gone, running as fast as she could to get out of there.

"You are sure a pretty gal. Hard to find humans like you now a days." One of the Saiyans said. And that was the last thing Pan heard as she ran away.

Still down the street a bit was Marron trying to catch up with everyone. She saw Pan running toward her.

"Oh my God, Pan what happen? Where is my Mom?"

"Sh.sh..she is back there wi…with..with those Saiyans that.." Pan stuttered but was cut off by Marron.

"What! Oh help me God. Pan we have to help her." Marron started running in the direction Eighteen was.

"NO! MARRON! STOP!"

Pan grabbed her hand as tight as she could.

"Let go Pan. I have to help my Mom. Pan, stop it. What is your problem?"

"Your Mom wants as to get out of here. Don't worry, she can take care of herself.

Just then, one of the Saiyans from before yelled at them.

"Hey! Come back here," he said as he begun to chase them.

Shit. Where is Eighteen?

Right before he caught up to them, a young man jumped down off a roof top and grabbed both the girls and started running as fast as he could to get out of there.

"Hey! Come back here you asshole! When I find you…" The Saiyan's voice faded away.

Finally he was gone as the young man walked up to a run down looking building and dropped the two girls on to the ground. Pan and Marron looked up at the towering man above them in complete shock. Not knowing what was going to happen to them. If they would live or die.

"Well…look what I found here. A couple of street rats running around this God forsaken city." The man sighed. "Well, I guess lady luck is on your side today. I just happen to be around."

The young man looked like a nice guy. He had brown hair that was really messy and dark brown eyes. He looked about 5/10ft and had to be about 16. But that didn't stop Pan.

At that Pan stood up getting kind of fed up with this guys attitude.

"Oh yeah? Well, we didn't need your help. We can take care of ourselves." Pan said glaring at the young man.

"Oh really?" The man said smiling. "You know what, I like you kid. You got spunk. My name is Mike. How about you and your friend here stay with my gang and me. You look like you have no place to go."

Pan continued to glare at the guy as Marron slowly stood up.

"Thanks for the offer Mister, but we have a home," Marron started talking. "My mother takes care of us."

"Okay but I didn't see your mother with you…"

"Oh well we have to go save her from those Saiyans that were chasing… Oh shit."

Marron's face lost all color. She turned toward Pan and started screaming.

"Oh my God, Pan…My Mom! What are we going to do?" Marron started franticly shaking.

Pan looked at the ground and didn't say a word.

"What did your mom look like?" Mike asked opening the door to the building and let the girls in.

"She has blonde hair and is about this tall," Marron said raising her had in the air at a curtain height. She was still shaking uncontrollably.

"Okay. I will see what I can do. You two wait here for me to get back. We don't want to endanger everyone."

The girls finally noticed the other people in the room.

"Hey, you guys lets go," Mike said to the other people in the room. "These girls need our help. I will explain everything on the way."

Mike and four other people ran out of the house to try and help the girls. The information they came back with left the two young girls not hungry for once in six years.

:: End of Flashback ::

Pan and Marron looked back upstairs as they heard people coming down.

"Hey guys," Marron said as everyone came down, one by one.

The first person that came down was a woman. She looked tough, very tough. Someone you wouldn't want to mess with if you didn't know her. She had long black hair that she put up in a high ponytail. She was not very tall at about 5/5ft. She looked to be about 28. Even though she was tough looking she wasn't ugly. Of course she wasn't a beauty like Marron, or anything, but she wasn't a sight that hurt the eyes. Her name was Adrienne.

The next person was a man named Dr. Smith. He helped a lot when people of the group would get sick or something because he used to study medicine. He was actually a scientist that made tons of inventions and discoveries. Before the attack ten years ago people used to call him the next Bluma Briefs, even though he was a guy. He had gray hair and a gray beard. He was about 6 ft and was 55 years old.

Then a man named Terry came down the stairs. Terry was a bit full of himself and had major wandering hands. He usually got on everyone's nerves but was some times good for a few laughs. He had blonde hair which Marron was really jealous of because his was still blonde and wasn't getting any darker. He was about 6ft and was 18 years old. He seemed to have a big thing for Marron but it could be just the way he is.

Then Mike walked down. He had grown a lot since he was 16. Mike and Pan have grown really close through the years and Mike was thinking that maybe he was starting to like her more than just a friend. He still had the same messy black hair as before but was a lot taller. He was 6/1 and 20 years old now. And he still wore the same smile he had 4 years ago.

And the last person that walked down was Joe.

"Okay, now that every one is here, we need to get down to business." Pan said, walking to the other side of the room.

AN- Tried to make this one longer. Hope you enjoyed =)
