Pan now goes by the name Max. She lives with Shannon now; Lilac left 3 months later to live with her father. Videl died when Pan was 13, they still live in Seattle. Pan knows she's a Sayain, but she hasn't been trained in anyway.
7 years later (Max is 15)
'Max, get up now,' called Shannon, she couldn't believe it was the first day of the holidays, and Max was sleeping in.
'Mom, I'm tired,' replied a sleepy Max. (Max has called Shannon 'mum' since Videl had died)
'I don't care, UP NOW!' screamed Shannon, Max bet that the whole apartment block could hear Shannon scream, for a Sayain she screamed loud.
'I'm up, I'm up,' complained Max, her black hair had blue streaks in it. 'What time is it?' asked Max.
'10:30,' answered Max, scrambling out of her room, pulling her t-shirt down over her head, she loved tee shirts with sayings on them, her red tee shirt read 'I'm a bomb technician. If you see me running, try to keep up!'
Grabbing two slices of toast and shoving her roller blades now, while attaching her skateboard to her backpack, she skated out of the apartment.
'You're late,' called Chase, from across the park as Pan nearly hit a jogger.
'I was up half of the night watching movies,' replied Pan.
'Yeeeah right,' said Alec, 'betcha she was watching porn.'
'Gross Alec,' said Net, wrinkling her nose. 'Come on guys, old man Mad, wants us there soon.'
Jumping off the fountain the guys got onto their skateboards and started off ahead of the girls. Racing through the park, the guys having two accidents, one because Alec lost control of his skateboard crashing into Zane, and DJ hit a jogger, as he was talking to Chase, the teens left the park with twelve near misses under their belt (well actually the boys).
Racing across the street the Z gang watched the teens speed after each other.
'The girl over there sure seems like Videl,' said Krillen, pointing to Max.
'I know,' replied Gohan, he had never gotten over Videl leaving him he had tried to commit suicide a year after she had left.
Pushing the door open. 'Yo Mad, you here!' called Chase, Max couldn't help wincing, (Pan's told her friends that she's a Sayain). 'Sorry Max, I kinda forgot,' said Chase.
'It's okay girl,' replied Max, pushing the door wider.
A groan could be heard from the backroom, the 6 ran towards the noise, lying in his own puddle of blood was old man Mad.
'What happened?' asked Alec, leaning over Mad.
'Call the hospital,' called DJ, as he and Zane moved Mad out of his blood, in the middle of his chest was a hole, which Max couldn't place her finger on but it was familiar.
Different coloured lights flashed outside the shop, as old man Mad, was loaded up onto the ambulance. 'Which one of you wants to escort him?' asked a Paramedic.
The teens looked at each other, Chase and Pan pushed Net out to the Paramedic. 'She'll go,' said Max, assisting Net into the back.
'Tell my parents, okay,' said Net, just as the door closed.
Vegeta stood on top of the building across the road watching the teens. I wonder who she is? thought Vegeta, it seems like I know her.
Jumping onto her skateboard Max, rode across to Sector 5 to visit Net's parents.
Knocking on the door, a battered woman opened the door, 'Mrs. Lucy, how are you?' asked Max.
Net's mother sighed she could tell Pan had something to tell her. 'Uh, we found old man Mad dying and Net went with him to the hospital. You should visit mum later to get an ointment for the bruises,' said Max, waving to Mrs. Lucy, hoping on her skateboard and started down the hallway. A hand shot out and dragged Mrs. Lucy, just as she hit the elevator, a scream echoed through the building. It took all of Max's will power not to turn around and run towards the apartment.
I wonder if Mrs. Lucy's okay, Net's dad's in shit, thought Max sighing, as the doors opened she caught a glimpse of purple hair, she no longer acted like Pan Son, but Max Souryn.
Pushing the door open Max started to where she last saw the person. 'Who's there?' called Max, walking down the alley.
'Who wants to know?' replied some one, she knew she had heard the voice before.
'Either you bug off, or goddess have mercy on your soul,' said Max, turning away and skated away.
'I wonder who she is,' said Goten, looking at Max's back.
'Don't know but she looks familiar,' replied Piccolo, he felt a deep connection for her.
'It's almost like she's Videl,' said Gohan, he had never forgiven himself since Videl left him.
Vegeta knew where he had seen her before, she was the grand brat of Kakkarot.
Turning the lock, Max pushed open the door, Max stepped inside. 'Max!' called Shannon, from the kitchen, looking in over the counter, she could see Shannon staring at a cup of coffee.
'Mum, what's wrong?' asked Max, placing her arm around Shannon's shoulder.
'Remember when I put you down for that scholarship?' asked Shannon, still staring at her cup of coffee, it was starting to scare Max when she didn't blink.
'Yeah,' said Max slowly.
'Well you get to go to Japan,' answered Shannon, side glancing Max, Max became pale white and shaking when she heard that.
'You are joking right?' asked Max, looking over at Shannon shaking her head, Max dropped her head into her hands. 'Fuck,' moaned Max, thinking anything but going home, she didn't think of herself as Japanese but as an American.
It's been a month since Shannon told Max, what was happening, the two have arrived in Satan City
Going home
Stepping off the plane, Shannon held tight onto Max's arm, pushing and pulling her around the Terminal, as they got out the doors. Max looked across the road, and saw the Z gang standing in the shadows, pretending that she didn't see them, Max turned her full attention to Shannon, talking about Videl, and the trouble they caused around the airport.
Smiling Max realized that she hadn't seen Shannon this happy since Videl was alive, it didn't occur to Max until then how much Shannon missed Videl. Hailing a cab, Shannon ordered the cab driver to take her to her old apartment block, the driver looked at her strangely then took off down the street almost causing an accident.
Beth stood outside her apartment block, early that morning she had gotten a call from Shannon, explaining that Videl had died of cancer, and that she had adopted Pan, who was now called Max, it was a lot for her to take in all at once. But she knew Shannon and Videl had a good reason for everything.
As a cab pulled up, Beth waited for the occupants to step out, what surprised her the most, was both of them were talking in English. The younger girl turned around, Beth gasped as she took in Max's appearance, her black hair had blue streaks, she was wearing hipster skate pants, and a low cut army shirt, with 'Danger Cheerleader' across the front of it.
'Hi Beth!' called Shannon, waving to Beth, waving back Max picked up her bags and walked over to Beth.
'How have you been?' asked Beth, as the trio stepped out of the elevator, walking down the corridor, Beth opened up Shannon's old apartment.
'We're fine at the moment,' replied Shannon, shoving her elbow into Max's side.
'Yeah,' said Max weakly, smiling Beth threw Shannon a copy of the keys and left, closing the door behind her.
'Why couldn't you be pleasant,' complained Shannon, Max shrugged her shoulders. 'I might as well let you stay at your father's,' snapped Shannon, Max winced and stared down at the grey carpet. 'Sorry Max, I didn't mean to snap at you it's just that I would rather not see your father,' explained Shannon.
'I understand, Mom didn't exactly give him a good name,' replied Max.
'Now that we're back, I think you should enrol by your original name,' said Shannon.
Wow…it's been a while since I was Pan Son, thought Max, staring at her mirror.
