8 year old Pan looked around the apartment, her mother, Shannon and herself were leaving Satan City. 'Pan-chan,' called a familiar voice, it was the lady who owned the block, 'Your going to call and visit alright,' she said, a tear rolling down her cheek.
'Yeah,' Pan replied, hugging her, Videl came around the corner and Pan ran into her mother's arms.
'Take care,' said the lady.
'Bye Beth,' yelled Videl, as the car started to pull away.
Pan jumped up and down, with laughter as she, her Aunt and mother drove away. Stopping at the airport Shannon pulled Pan out of the car while Videl unloaded the car.
Shannon and Videl divided all their possessions up so Pan would have to carry very little, Shannon had got most of the bags being a half Sayain, her brother being Prince Vegeta, (or as Bulma fondly calls him his Royal-pain-in-the-ass).
'Hi three one way tickets to Seattle, Washington State,' said Videl, at the counter while Pan at her feet played with her tennis ball.
'Thanks,' said Videl, picking up her collection of bags, she escorted Pan to her Aunt, 'We've got the next flight.' Handing Shannon her boarding pass, placing hers' and Pan's in her pocket, they wandered around the airport after getting rid of their bags. (I haven't been to an airport in ages, don't remember what they do with the bags).
Fidgeting with the seat belt Shannon was trying to block out the sound of the plane engine, (she's half Sayain remember), she was jealous that Pan didn't have the same problem.
Landing the three were jolted 'Thank you for flying with Satan airlines,' said the Stewardess, over the intercom.
'Ve, you know we are going to have to change our names,' said Shannon, as they were pushed and shoved in the crowds of Seattle airport.
'I guess,' replied Videl, not to sure about it.
'Pan can keep her name, but be enrolled with her nickname,' said Shannon, thinking about their new life.
Arriving at their new apartment, Pan ran into the lounge room, then started exploring the rooms to see which one was best for her.
'Found one' called Pan, as Videl and Shannon had finished moving all the boxes in, stepping over the pile of bags.
'Let's see, Pan,' commented Videl, standing in the doorway, over the years Videl could tell Pan was more like her than Gohan.
Sighing, Pan nodded allowing her mother to enter her new room hopefully.
'Pan are you sure, you need a room this big?' asked Videl cautiously.
'Yeah mum,' replied Pan.
As nigh came Pan snuggled up next to Videl, on the floor slept Shannon, they hadn't been able to set up the other rooms just Pan's, so they had to share for a little while.
Next day Pan woke up around 10 o'clock, she could hear the moving of boxes, she could see her mother unpacking Shannon's things and placing them around Shannon's new room while Shannon started on Pan's breakfast and their morning tea.
'Videl, have you called Chi Chi?' asked Shannon, from the kitchen.
'No, they don't even know I'm gone, hopefully,' called Videl, as she used a pair of scissors to cut the sticky tape of a box and squash it.
'Have you talked to anyone?' asked Shannon. Hope she's kept in contact with someone other than Vegeta, she thought.
'Goku and 18,' replied Videl, walking into the kitchen for a glass of water, gulping it down; Pan wandered in.
'Hey Pan, I was wondering when you'd get up,' said Shannon cheerfully.
'Morning Aunt Shannon, Mummy,' said Pan, hugging both women.
'Honey, we need to get you enrolled for school in three days,' said Videl, rinsing the cup out, giving Videl her best puppy dog eyes. 'No, Pan you have to do this, plus you get to have a nickname.'
'Yeah!' yelled Pan. 'How about Ice or Max?' asked Pan, hopefully.
'Which one do you like best?' replied Shannon, mixing cake mixture.
'Max,' answered Pan. Nodding her assent Pan sat down at the table. Sliding Pan a plate of toast with her quick eating habits ate it under 3 seconds flat.
'Pan are you still hungry?' asked Videl, shaking her head Pan headed to her room to change.
'Hi my name is Samantha Souryn. I'd like enroll my daughter Pan at your school, and can you put down under her nickname?' asked Videl, staring out the window as she talked on the phone. 'Um… Max, thank you, yes. She'll be there in two days.' Hanging up the phone Videl sighed and ran her hand across her face, it was really hard without Gohan but she was surviving.
Gohan why'd you have to do that, she thought.
