A/N: I'm back again! hope my author's note at the end didn't discourage any of you from either reading or flaming me! Alrighty here's the next chapter. Maemi is now 5. So basically I skipped 5 years. Enjoy! Whenever Maemi says daddy she means Trunks.

Disclaimer: if you've been reading my story this whole time then you would have realized by now that I don't own DBZ.

Little Maemi's voice was faintly reminiscent of her great grandmother's as she screeched down the hall to her own mother, calling out she had finally decided what she wanted. The mini Bra, after recieving a call from her mother to come down to tell her, dashed down the hall, grabbing her newest toy she herself had invented, thanks to the genious she had inherited from Bulma. Her dark purple hair waved behind her as she ran and her lavender eyes shone brightly with anticipation.

She slowed down as she got to the door of her mother's room and entered at a fast walk, she jumped up onto the bed and into her lap.

"Look mommy, I made a new toy!" Maemi said happily.

"It's cute!" Pan said, looking at the toy which resembled an action figure of her paternal father, Trunks. She picked up the toy and pushed the button on it's back and the toy started flying around the room. It made holographic images of Cell, Frieza and other villians, that Maemi had learned about from their past appear, in which Trunks kicked each of their butts. Pan laughed and caught the toy as it flew back to her and landed in her lap.

"Do you really like it mommy? Can it get us more money so you and Nick can go out more?" Maemi asked, worrying about the family and not herself.

"Hunny, you don't need to worry about those kinds of things. Nick and I are just fine." Pan replied hugging her daughter. "Now what did you say you wanted for your birthday?"

"I want you and daddy to be happy." Maemi wanted to say, but kept it to herself, knowing that her mommy would tell her that wasn't what she really wanted. "Can I have one of my friends over and have a party, but can it be at gg's?"

"Why only one? And why Bulma's?" Pan asked curiously.

"I like gg's house and because I don't want you to have to buy alot of food for us and other stuff." Maemi replied.

"Maemi, I promise Nick and I can afford for you to have as many friends over as you want." Pan replied.

"But I only have 3 friends."

"Then they can all come over and why don't you invite some of the other kids from kindergarten over and get to know them?"

"They don't like me, because of what I look like and how smart I am." Maemi replied sadly.

"Well, if they don't like you for who you are then they don't even deserve to be in your presence." Pan replied.

"What is Trunks getting you?"

"He's getting me a horsie!" Maemi said, coming out of her sadness and into happiness once again.

"That's nice and what should Nick and I get you?"

"Can I have that new computer out? That one that is the fastest there is?" Maemi finished and then clasped her hands over her mouth, realizing that her mommy had tricked her into telling her what she really wanted.

Pan laughed and then said, "That'll be a wonderful present. Nick and I'll go get it for you tomorrow. When do you want to have your friends over?"

Maemi pulled out one of her other inventions and flipped open the top, she clicked a couple of buttons and then said, "How about Saturday the fifth."

"Sounds great! You better go call your friends then." pan replied and gave her daughter a kiss and then shooed her out of the room.

Pan picked up the phone and dialed a number and asked for Nick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

Maemi ran back to her room and opened the door. She walked up to her latest computer and pushed in Christina's phone number. She put in her message and then clicked enter. The computer called Christina's house and got the answering machine where it left the message and then hung up. Maemi then typed in Angela's number and left the same message, as she did with Brandi. She finished and then plopped onto her bed sighing.

"Oh how I wish mommy and daddy were together, then I wouldn't have to change houses all the time." Maemi said complaining to her inventions.

"Maemi, hunny! I'm home!" Her step-dad yelled up the stairs.

"Hey!" Pan said happily.

"Hi." Maemi said in a dull voice.

"What's the matter? Something go wrong with one of your inventions?"

"No. I just miss daddy."

"Oh." Nick said.

"I'm gonna go cook dinner, you two can bond." Pan said.

"Actually I already cooked dinner." Maemi said, happy that she didn't have to spend time with her step-dad.

"Really now? Well, than I guess we can go eat now and play something after dinner." Pan replied and finished walking into the kitchen. She went over to the microwave and pulled out the vegetables that were in there, she then went to the oven and pulled a turkey out. "This looks good." Pan said licking her lips and sitting down at the table.

Nick sat down opposite from Pan and Maemi sat on an end. She grabbed a plate and put some vegetables on her plate and then cut herself some turkey. Nick followed her movements and got himself some food as Maemi gave her mother food. They ate a quiet meal and then Pan suggested they play a game.

Maemi turned down the offer saying, "Mom, can I go work on my invention? I still have to make ones of you, grandpa, grandma, great grandpa, and everyone else!"

"Okay, but only because it'll make you smarter." Pan replied reluctantly. "Why does she never want to do things with Nick?" Pan wondered.

"Well, how about we just watch a movie, Pan?" Nick suggested.

"Okay." pan replied and they bought 'The Ring' on pay per view.

Maemi ran up the steps two at a time and then ran into her room where she didn't work on any inventions, but instead called her dad.

"Daddy?" Maemi asked whenever someone had picked up the phone.

"Maemi, this is Marron. Trunks isn't home right now, but I can leave him a message for you." Marron replied sweetly.

"That's okay, Marron. Bye." Maemi said and hung up the phone.

She quickly dialed Trunks' cell, in hopes of him answering, but to her luck he didn't answer. She started to cry in frustration and depression. She dialed her second last hope, Capsule Corp. Noone answered after 20 rings and so she hung up. She started to cry hardere and lastly dialed her great uncle's number. Someone picked up.

"Is my daddy there?" Maemi asked.

"Maemi? Is something the matter?" Goten asked worried for the little girl. "Anyting I can help you with?"

"Is my daddy there?" Maemi asked, sniffling.

"No, he isn't. Can you not find him?"

"No." Maemi replied and started to cry again.

"Maemi, come over here and Bra and I will help you. Okay?"

"Okay." Maemi replied as her lip quivered and her eyes filled with more tears.

Maemi hung up the phone and quickly told her computer to tell her mom that she went to Goten's if she came in. She then opened her window and flew out into the dark night sky, her hair blending in with the sky. She flew and flew, tears falling onto the ground from her eyes. Goten's house finally came into view nad she saw Goten holding Bra outside on their porch, seemingly awaiting her arrival. When she landed Goten walked up to her and wrapped her into his arms.

"What's the matter?" Goten asked as he squeezed her and tried to stop the flow of water from her eyes. "What happened?" he repeated when she didn't reply.

She sniffled and then said through her tears, "I HATE NICK! I want my daddy to be with my mommy."

"We all do." Goten said, rubbing her back.

"Yep." Bra agreed, "But Trunks and Pan don't seem to want to be together."

"If I tell you two something, do you promise not to tell anyone else?" Maemi asked cautiously.

"Promise." Bra and Goten said.

"I saw Nick and Marron in the park together kissing today whenever I went out to get some more parts for my lastest invention." She said quickly, pulling out the action figure of Trunks.

"Are you serious?!" Goten asked, starting to fume.

Maemi could tell his eyes were flashing turqouise and his hair was going golden, but Bra quickly calmed him down, "Goten calm down. We promised."

"But he's cheating on my niece and that sleezebag Marron is cheating on my best friend!" Goten raged.

"I know, but we can't do anything. That's up to Maemi." She whispered into his ear.

"Fine." Goten said, pouting.

"Come inside Maemi, don't want you to get sick and get me introuble with Pan, do you?" Bra asked as she pushed Maemi into the house through the open door.

Maemi sniffled and then laughed, Bra always did that. She was the happiest person Maemi knew, even her mother seemed to be depressed with her life and Goten was always worried over other peoples lives and Bra could ave been, but she didn't let it get to her like it did to everyone else.

Maemi went into the kitchen and made her, Bra and Goten peanut butter and bannan sandwiches. Bra laughed at what Maemi had made when she came into the living room with a plate of sandwiches.

"Didn't feel like cooking a gourmet meal?" Bra asked.

"Nope!" Maemi replied.

"Aww..." Goten whined, "And I was hoing if I let you into my house you'd cook me one of your famous dinners."

"Oh stop complaining, Goten."

Goten scoffed and said, "I'm feeling the love in this room."

Maemi laughed and jumped onto Goten's lap. "I wish my family was like this." Maemi thought. "If they ever have a kid, they'd be the perfect family for it."

Maemi started to feel sad again and immeadiately Bra was trying to cheer her up again. "How about we watch Goten's favorite movie?"

"Dumbo!" Goten yelled appily and started beging Maemi, "Oh please Maemi, I really wanna watch Dumbo!"

"Maemi laughed, but fell to Goten's request and nodded her head. Bra got up and went to a cabinet full of movies, mostly kids ones. She pulled out the case that held Dumbo, but it was empty. She then went to the vcr and clicked play, Dumbo came on and she went back and snuggled up against Goten with Maemi in the middle.

A/N: Good? Then review! By the way, I give credit of that first paragraph to Bra (my sis), although the descriptions were mine, she just threw them together in a paragraph. By the way, you should read her stories, they're good. Okay, I hope y'all enjoyed that chapter.
