Hey all in cyber-space.  This is a g/v (gotta luv 'em) that starts out sorta cliché, but changes once the plot develops.  This isn't my first fic though, I've actually written quite a few.  Not a whole lot of romance here, and there will be more of Videl next chapter.  But that's enough of that...so on with the fic.

Er...I don't own nuthin', so don't sue.

Grunting, 18 year old Son Gohan pushed himself up from the floor of Capsule Corp.'s "special" training room, a.k.a. the Gravity Room.

"Heh.  I win again.  You're...improving a little, but I've far surpassed the level you were at during the Cell Games.  It seems as though these seven years of studying haven't helped you fighting ability at all," Vegeta replied, smirking as the son of Goku brushed himself off.

"Uh...thanks Vegeta," Gohan said to the Mighty Prince of the Saiyans, causing his smirk to deepen.

"You should always be prepared.  These times of peace have lasted far to long, and won't continue much longer," Vegeta replied as Gohan took off for his home.

That can't be right.  Dad...died to make sure that wouldn't happen.  His death can't be worth nothing...can it?

The teenage boy shook his head, trying to free it from these thoughts, but it was no use.  As his home came into view, Gohan decided to worry about it later.

Vegeta's just like that.  Nothing is going to happen.

~x~

"Morning Sharpener.  Where are Videl and Erasa?" Gohan asked, sitting down in his seat at school.

"Dunno.  I'm sure they'll be here soon.  Besides, you're early for once,"  the blonde-haired teen replied casually.

"Oh..." Gohan muttered as he stared down at his desk.  An uncomfortable silence passed between the two until it was broken by Sharpener.

"You do know that Videl is mine, right?"

"Huh?  Does Videl know this?" Gohan asked, his naïve-ness kicking in [1].

"Does it matter?  Besides, I'm only telling you this so that you stay away from her," Sharpener stated.

"Don't worry.  Videl doesn't even like me.  All she ever does is glare at me as if I'm hiding something," Gohan murmured, a little peeved at the way his "friend" was acting.

"Videl's just that way," Erasa said to the two, sitting down in her chair between them.  Sharpener snorted and turned the other way as Erasa and Gohan began to make idle chitchat until the teacher came in.  The daughter of "The Man Who Saved Us All From Cell" had still not shown by the time the teacher began lecturing the students.

~x~

A young girl, about Goten's age, sat up from her position on the forest floor.  She had short black hair, an orange bandana, a short red shirt, and a pair of long jean shorts with sneakers.

"Sensei?" the demi-Saiyan called out to the forest.  "Wonder where I am.  Guess the best thing to do would be to head over to Capsule Corp. and find Bulma-san or Sensei."

Standing up, she pulled an object out from under her shirt.  Her mother's necklace.  She smiled warmly at the small locket, and then put it back under her shirt, trying to forget her parents' gruesome deaths because the terrible duo had finally been put to rest.

~x~flashback~x~

A boy, no a man with lavender hair smiled at the young girl beside him.  She smiled back at what now looks like Mirai Trunks and threw her arms around his leg.

"You finally beat them!"  the little girl exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes.

"No," he corrected, picking her up to eye level," We beat them, Panny.  Not just me, but everyone.  Goku, my dad, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, even our mothers helped a little.  Plus Gohan-sensei."

Pan smiled again, and hugged him.  While the two stood there, Trunks cradling Pan in his arms, a bright light engulfed the two demi Saiyans.

~x~end~x~

"Daddy," Pan whispered as tears began to form, but then shook her head, trying to be strong and push her memories away.  She then flew off towards Capsule Corp., in search of her sensei or Bulma. 

A thought quickly passed through her mind, making her change course to what she thought was Orange Star City [2].

~x~

As Pan was flying, Trunks was already making his way towards his father's ki inside Capsule Corp., leading him in the direction of the Gravity Room.

I hope Panny's okay.  But I gotta make sure if we're really in the past or not...

Mirai Trunks was at the door when a very pissed Vegeta walked out.

"What the hell are you doing here," the Prince demanded," Is one of these pathetic weaklings going to die?"

"Hello to you, too," M. Trunks replied, causing his "father" to growl," And I'm not really sure why I'm here either, but I don't think it's because anyone's going to die."

"I see," Vegeta mumbled as Chibi Trunks appeared behind him.

"Who is that?" Trunks asked, pointing to his future self.

Vegeta snorted, then replied," Isn't it obvious?"

"Um...So you're mirai me?" C. Trunks questioned, and was answered with a nod of Mirai's head [3].

"Have you gotten any stronger?" Vegeta asked, implying that he wanted to spar.

Mirai nodded, then said," Yeah.  I've gotten to the second level."

"Hey dad, if you're gonna spar with the other me, can I go over to Goten's?" Trunks questioned.

"Ask your mother," Vegeta replied as the "little one" ran off and Mirai and him went into the Gravity Room and began fighting [4].

After a few punches and kicks were thrown, Mirai asked," So who is Goten?"

"Second brat of Kakkarot.  He was born shortly after you left back to your time."

"Oh."

A few more blows, along with blocks, were made before Vegeta asked," Have you defeated the androids yet?"

"Yeah.  They were gone for only a few minutes before me and Panny were transported here."

"Panny?"

"Gohan-sensei's daughter.  I've been training her since her parents died."

Vegeta gave out what sounded like a cross between a snort and a chuckle that only he can do, then said," So Kakkarot's brat found a mate.  I feel sorry for her."

"Actually she's pretty strong for a human.  Stronger than the Krillin from my time, at least, making her the strongest human."

Vegeta just snorted.

And so Vegeta and Mirai's father-son bonding spar lasted for a while.

~Meanwhile, at Orange Star High...~

"Sorry I'm late," Videl apologized, rushing up to her seat in the middle of the second to last period," I had to stop some terrorists that took over a building."

"I understand.  Your community service is very important.  Now where was I...?"

Gohan began to take notes over things he did many years ago when a very familiar ki, along with one that felt a lot like Goku's, appear out of seemingly nowhere.  His head shot up at this, causing a few students around him to look at him funny, including a glare from Videl.

"Uh...sensei...Can I be excused?"  Gohan asked, sweatdropping.

"No!"  she exclaimed in that freaked-up accent, frightening the young Saiyan," You have a peculiar habit of asking to leave, and then never returning.  Now get back to work."

"But it's really important..." Gohan pleaded, on the verge of whining.  The teacher shot him a look, which caused him to sigh and sit back down.

Looks like I'm gonna just have to leave sometime between periods.  But where do I recognize that ki...Trunks!  It's Mirai!  And the other feels a lot like dad's and Goten's...Is it mirai me?  No wait, Mirai Trunks said that he, er, I was dead.  But who is it then?  What if it's a threat to society?!  Geez, now I really gotta go!  The Great Saiyaman is needed!

He was about to plead again when the students began rushing towards the window.

That ki is getting really close...

Gohan walked over to the window, using his height to his advantage, and peered out over the tops of most of their heads.  He gasped when he saw a small girl looking at the building, almost directly into their classroom.  But it wasn't the fact that she was female that freaked him out.  It was because her ki was so high and...

"Oh my Dende!"

"That little chick is flying!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Is that a tail?"

Gohan's eyes widened even further at her comment, if that was even possible.

I didn't even pick up on that one.  A tail?  No way!  She can't be a Saiyan, can she?  Mirai probably knows something about her and what's going on.  If only I could get outta here...

The girl then gave a smile directed towards the class and waved, before taking off away from the school.

"Excuse me," Videl called out as she ran out of the room, in pursuit of the little girl.

The class, now in a state somewhere between amazement and panic, gave Gohan the opportunity to just sneak away, hoping not to get caught.

~x~

Pan smiled to herself, and made a little loop in the air as she flew from Orange Star High School.

This must be the past Sensei was talking about, because daddy was there!  And so was mom!

"Stop right there!" a distinctly female voice commanded from the copter, which was piloted by none other than Satan Videl herself.

Pan smiled back at her and waved, but didn't cease her actions.

Time to ditch her and find Sensei.

Flying down into a forested area, known as the Super Satan Park [5], she weaved her way in and out of the flora that surrounded the area.  But Videl continued after the chibi, not letting off an inch.

Soon though, the trees began clearing, leaving poor Panny with no protective covering, causing her to panic.

"Stop right there!" Videl yelled at the little girl," You've got nowhere to go!"

Grinning back to the teenager, she decided that flying at the same level wasn't getting her anywhere, and flew upward, hiding amongst the clouds.  Pan managed to finally get rid of the lithe teen, and would have made her way towards Capsule Corp. had not a certain superhero decided not to show up.

"I am the defender of justice, protector of the weak," the oddly dressed man struck some poses quite similar to a group of baddies, then finished with," I AM SAIYAMAN!" [6]

Pan just giggled, wondering if her father acted like this when he was a teenager.

"I'm sorry Mister...uh...Saiyaman, but I gotta get to somewhere and find my sensei," she said to her "father".  Pan turned to fly in the direction of Capsule Corp., but was stopped when a hand was laid on her shoulder.

"Hold on.  How can you fly, who is your sense and why do you have a tail?  For that matter, why did you just appear from nowhere, and how did you-"

"Shut up brat, you're rambling," Vegeta called out to the teenage superhero, cutting him off,  while flying towards them.  Gohan was about to ask Vegeta what he was doing there, but stopped when Mirai Trunks flew up beside him.

"I think I can answer those questions," Mirai said, grinning.

Gohan blinked a few times as Pan yelled," Sensei!" while flying towards, and then hugging Trunks.

"Wow, uh, hey Trunks.  You look practically the same as you did at the Cell Games," Gohan said, the famous Son Grin present on his face.

"It hasn't even been a year since the Games in my time.  We kinda got transported here after the androids were killed.  But shi- er goodness Gohan, you're huge!" Trunks exclaimed, making sure he didn't curse in front of his pupil, while Saiyaman blushed under his helmet," But what's up with the clothes?"

"Oh this?  It's my superhero costume.  I'm the Great Saiyaman.  Isn't it cool?" Gohan asked, causing Pan to giggle, Trunks to mutter a "sure..." and sweatdrop, and Vegeta just to roll his eyes.  Then, pointing at Pan, he asked, "Oh, and Trunks, is she a Saiyan?'

"Yup.  Pan, here, is one-fourth Saiyan," Trunks replied casually, patting the girl's head.

"Is she your...er...daughter?" Gohan asked, trying not to make the question sound awkward.

Vegeta snorted, rolling his eyes.  Then for the first time in a while, he spoke up and said," Obviously not, brat of Kakkarot.  My future brat is her sensei.  You are her father."

"Na..." [7]

Gohan wasn't even able to finish his word of confusion when his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out, coming to a thud on the forest floor.  The two demi Saiyans got a good laugh from that.

~x~

[1] - I like the naïve Gohan, so that's probably how he's gonna be, unless something bad happens.

[2] - Old name of Satan City before the Cell Games took place.  And since they didn't take place in the Mirai timeline, Orange Star probably wasn't renamed.

[3] - Most of the time, I'll be calling the Trunks from the future "Mirai" and the present day Trunks "Chibi", unless it's obvious to who is talking.

[4] - Okay, it really isn't important as to what is happening during the fight, so I didn't write it out.  The fight was to show how the two were bonding and fill y'all in a little.

[5] - Hehe.  I just thought the name was too funny when I came up with it, and I had to incorporate it into the story somehow.  The franchise may show up later, too...

[6] - If you didn't catch the allusion, it was to those Ginyu people.  I remember cracking up the first time I saw them, because my buddy was humming the YMCA song.  Hehe...

[7] - Supposed to be "nani".  Japanese word for "what?".  He didn't know what was going on, so he freaked.  And if you didn't know, "mirai" is future, "chibi" is small, and I probably have others.  I'm not gonna use many Japanese words, just because some people have too hard of a time understanding them.  But I'm using these, as well as the androids' Japanese names, including Juu-chan, so nyah!

Alright, done with the first chappy/prologue-thing.  Geez it's huge.  A lot bigger than I expected.  If you want me to continue, then feel free to review.  I need those to continue, and now that summer's here (at least it is for me), I'll have more time to type.  Oh, and btw...I know Pan sounded a little "ugh..." but that's just because she's seeing all these people who were dead in her time, alive.  You'd be thrilled and giggly, too.  And Vegeta does snort or grunt a lot.  It's what I like about him.  So ja ne minna-san!
