Chapter 2 –"Gohan, don't you think we should let them know that we are on our way back?" Videl asked as she looked over at him.
"I want for it to be a surprise," Gohan said as he smiled over at his wife.
"Gohan, we've all improved so much in our training and strength that they might think of us as a threat to them," Videl said as she looked at Gohan worriedly.
"Don't worry so much, honey. Either way, they will be happy to see us after all these years that we've been away," Gohan said as he smiled at Videl and Pan. "What are you thinking about, Pan?"
"What?" Pan asked as she looked up at her father.
"What are you thinking about?" Videl asked as she smiled at her daughter.
"Nothing really," Pan said.
"Don't worry so much, Panny. They'll love you," Videl said as she smiled again at her daughter.
"Why is that you always seem to know what it is that I'm thinking?" Pan asked as she looked at her parents.
"We were there once, too, Pan," Gohan said as he turned around to pay attention to what he was doing.
Pan just smiled at her parents, knowing a little bit on how their life was like when they were young. She remembered what they had told her about what they had wanted to do about her training, but her stubbornness and will along with her desire to become like her parents won over. She smirked as she was finally able to accomplish SS before they left her home and was know trying to accomplish SS2.
'I do hope that my parents are right about their friends,' Pan thought as she smiled sadly and looked out the window.
"Where have you brats been?" Vegeta asked as he noticed his son and Goten run into the house.
"Do you…what's wrong with everyone?" Goten asked as he noticed that everyone's face held some confusion, shock, and surprise.
"Mom, are you alright?" Trunks asked as he walked over to his mother and kneeled in front of her.
"She's been like that since I got here, as well as Chi-Chi," Bra said as she looked at her mother worriedly.
When the three teens looked at Vegeta for some answers, he scowled, crossed his arms, and looked outside the window as if expecting something. As if on cue, a ship landed right outside of their house in the back yard, snapping the women out of their trance and running towards the back yard.
"I wonder what this is all about," Trunks said as he followed his mother along with his friends following behind him.
When they got there, they waited for about two minutes until they noticed the door opening and three people coming out, laughing and talking about something. Chi-Chi was the first one to run up there and nearly knocked the tall one down who just laughed and returned the hug.
"Its great to see you, too, mom!" the tall one said as he looked up and saw his old friends.
"Is it really you, Gohan…Videl?" Bulma asked as she walked closer to them, still in shock.
"Yup," Videl said as she smiled at Bulma, who ran to her and gave her a hug.
Goten and Trunks just looked at each other and nodded as they realized that Gohan and Videl were back and waited their turn to go up and welcome them home. Bra just stood there shocked on what was going on since she never heard of Gohan or Videl.
'Maybe this is the brother that Goten was talking about,' Bra said as she had a look of confusion on her face.
"Its good to finally see you again, Gohan," Goten said as he hugged his brother.
"Its good to see you, too, Goten! Hi there, Trunks!" Gohan yelled as he gave a hug to Trunks and gave a hug to Bulma who just released Videl a while ago.
"Who is the brat?" Vegeta asked as he noticed a young girl, not that much older than his daughter, standing behind them.
"Everyone, this is our daughter, Pan," Gohan said as he smiled at everyone and reached for Pan to step up.
Pan walked slowly towards everyone, still not sure about how these people could be her parents' friends, but knew not to judge people so quickly. As she stood there, she waited for something to happen and was nearly knocked on the floor by Chi-Chi and Bulma running up to her and giving her a 'family' hug.
"I finally have grandchildren!" Chi-Chi yelled in joy as she pulled back and smiled at her granddaughter.
"So they were right when they said they were going to have a girl," Bulma said as she remembered that they had all said that it was going to be a boy when Gohan and Videl said it was going to be a girl.
"Um…I guess," Pan said as she looked at them confusingly.
"Pan, this is your grandmother Chi-Chi and Bulma," Gohan said as he smiled at how quickly they took a liking to her.
"You know, I have a daughter around your age. Bra!" Bulma said as she looked for her daughter.
There stood a young girl, not much younger than herself, that looked like she was an exact replica of Bulma, yet her clothing told her otherwise.
"Hi…my name is Bra," Bra said as she smiled at the girl, not sure of what was going to happen next.
"Pan," Pan said as she put out her hand and shook Bra's hand.
"You know, with me being your uncle and all, I would have thought that I would have gotten to welcome you home next," said a voice from behind them, startling them both.
"How…"
"Since Gohan is my older brother, that would make you my niece, which would make me your Uncle Goten," Goten said as he smiled down at her.
"Uncle Goten," Pan said as she looked up at him and noticed that there was a resemblance to them.
"Yup, but jus call me Goten," Goten said as he gave her a hug and was glad that she hugged him back.
"Finally, you have a shopping partner to go with now."
"Shut up, Trunks," Bra said as she turned to smack her brother on the head, but only had him duck in time and walk up to Pan and Goten.
"My name is Trunks," Trunks said as he gave her a smile that made her knees go weak.
"P-Pan."
"I know," Trunks said as he smirked and walked away followed by Goten who said they were going to go to the Gravity Room to train.
"Don't worry about my brother," Bra said as she and Pan walked inside the house, leaving the adults outside to catch up.
"Trust me, I won't, Bra," Pan said as she remembered the smirk and the look in his eyes when he introduced himself.
'He probably thinks that he's such a big shot. Jerk,' Pan thought as she shook her head to get her mind off of him and concentrate on what her new found friend was talking about.
