GRRRR! I absolutely hate that my chapters don't come out exactly like I
wrote them!!! My ellipses don't freakin' show! My spaces don't freakin'
show! My bold or italics don't freakin' show! UGH!! This is really
frustrating. Oh well, I'll live.
I want to thank: Aquaprincess1, Miss MC, Kaede-chan, and fierygirl for reviewing. BTW, aquaprincess1: I'm happy you thought it was good to use the room of spirit and time. I swear I thought it was going to be the cheesiest thing. You definitely lifted my spirit today!
I'm going through some rough times right now. But I'm happy to update because this is a chapter I looked forward to writing. I hope you guys like it.And MWAHAHAHAHA! Can you guess who found Pan in the store?
Last chapter's translation is: 'You can feel the freedom. You can feel the magic of the place.'
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or the song in this chapter: "Hoy" by Gloria Estefan. And if there is an 'S.P. Financial' out there, I had no idea there was one, so I don't own it either.
Enjoy!

Chapter 9: Soy Una Moneda En La Fuente, Tú Mi Deseo Pendiente.
"What are YOU doing here?" She said irritated.
"Whoa! Pan! Calm down! It was totally a coincidence that I found you here. Serious!...Wanna have some coffee with me?...We need to talk."
"I DON'T need to talk." Pan spat.
"Well.I do. Please Pan. For old time's sake?"
Pan rolled her eyes annoyingly, and thought about it for a moment. Then she nodded to the blond pop star "Fine."
A few minutes later, Pan found herself ordering coffee for herself and a cookie for Cyan to a waitress, accompanied of course, by Marron who was a bit nervous to start the conversation.
For a moment Marron let her thoughts wonder.*Whoa! I can't believe Pan has a baby. He sure is Kalid's. He's so adorable! She's changed a lot.Is it me, or does she look a little older?*
"Well, what did you want to talk about?" asked Pan interrupting Marron's train of thought.
"Pan, I know you think I'm the worst bit-"
"How could I not think that!?! First Trunks, then Kalid!?!" Pan yelled.
"Well, I guess I deserve that." Started Marron, obviously humiliated. "I don't know why I did it. Well, I know, but it's embarrassing. *OK, here we go* I guess I was.jealous."
That hit Pan like a ton of bricks. *Marron A.K.A. blond goddess, jealous of me A.K.A. fighting tomboy*
"I was jealous of you. How you are always the best at everything you did. I just happened to find something I'm good at. How you don't take shit from anyone. How your parents were always bragging about what a perfect daughter they had. And then Trunks started noticing you. And the last straw was Kalid. Yeah, he liked me, but he fell for you. I guess I was just sick of it. But when I actually saw you crying it hit me. I hated seeing Trunks and you suffer, and it hurt because it was all my fault."
"I didn't know." Pan said almost speechless.
"I am so sorry for what I've caused." Marron said looking over at Cyan. "You must hate me, and I don't blame you; I hope you can forgive me one day."
It was too much for Pan. She didn't know what to think of it. First her so called friend betrays her, and then she tells Pan that she was jealous. And now Marron's humiliating herself for forgiveness. "I don't hate you." Pan looked up at Marron. Marron looked at her in return with questioning eyes. "I'd be lying to you if I said I forgive you. I may forgive you, but I won't forget that easily and I don't want to lie to you. I just need some time." Pan smiled warmly.
"Well?" Pan asked a still nervous Marron. "What have you been up to? How come you're in LA?"
Marron let a sigh of relief. "I'm touring right now. It's going well, but I'm very busy; that's about it. Back at home, it's OK I guess. Trunks and I are speaking again. See, Bulma filled me in. Trunks slept with other women too. So he had no choice but to forgive me." They both laughed but Marron's smile fell slightly. "Your parents are sad you know. They miss you. Kalid does too, but he doesn't like to admit it. But, what about you? How come Cyan looks a lot older than he should be?"
"Because he IS older. I spent a year in the room of spirit and time. I thought it would be the best thing because I wanted to finish school. And now, I'm going to UCLA. Everything is just peachy!" Pan finished with a smile. "Marron: I want to ask you a favor. Please don't tell anyone you saw me here."
"Anyone? But why? Don't you miss them?"
Pan replied: "Yeah. But for everyone to heal our wounds we need distance and time."
Marron felt guilty again. "Well, when are you going to go back?"
"I don't know."
They spoke a little more about their recent lives, and decided to part ways. They both felt a lot better now that they had time to talk. Even though Pan didn't really forgive her she felt she would with a little time. This reassured both Pan and Marron that their friendship was genuine: they were honest to each other.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It had been two years since that day when Pan and Marron talked. Marron had finished her tour successfully and was working on another album. *Wow. Our lives have changed so much. Bulma and Vegeta couldn't be happier.then again, they're happy if they get a chance to frolic around. Bra graduated now. She changes her mind so much; I'm surprised she even finished school. Well, she did change her major. Now she is an interior designer, and a famous one around here. And Goten will finish his accounting degree soon. I'm proud of him. Trunks is still working hard but not as hard as before. As far as 'us' go, we're friends right now, well, friends with benefits, but Pan was right we too need distance and time to heal our wounds, so no commitments right now. Kalid, well, he's working hard all right, in fact, that's ALL he does: work! Gosh, it was so hard to apologize to him. After all, I was the one who planted evil thoughts in his head. Of course he forgave me. He told me he had a choice too, so I wasn't the only one to blame. I think he's ready to admit he loves Pan. I hope his love is bigger than his pride, only that way he'll be happy. Well Gohan and Videl have learned to live without Pan, but boy, they still look sad. If Pan would be here, I guarantee everyone would be COMPLETELY happy.*
Meanwhile in LA, Pan only had a semester to graduate from UCLA. Cyan was two years and eight months old! Time flies! His words were starting to sound coherent and Pan wondered how time passed them by so fast. Pan had been concentrating in school; she couldn't wait to get out of college.
That doesn't mean she didn't have fun. Sometimes she would allow herself to go out with her friends and have fun; more often though, she visited Maggie. A year ago Maggie was diagnosed with cancer. It was now on the late stages and she didn't have a lot to live. Every time Pan went to visit her she wondered about Maggie's life. That had to be a lot of money Maggie was spending on medical bills. Where did she get all that money? Maggie lived a modest life, she couldn't have that much money.Now wasn't the time to worry about it.
Pan's eyes snapped open when she heard the phone ring. *Who could be calling at this time?* she thought while she rubbed her eyes and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" "Is this Miss Pan Son?" "Yeah." "Mrs. Margaret Walpole wishes to talk to you. She doesn't have much left." *Maggie!* Pan thought. "I'll be right there."
Pan hung up the phone. She grabbed Cyan and set out for the hospital.
^*^*^*^
Maggie greeted Pan with a smile when she entered the room. "How are you?" Asked Pan not knowing what else to say.
"I've been better." Maggie joked, "Pan, before I die.there IS something I've kept from you."
"It's ok Maggie, I'm not mad."
"I'm sorry for not telling you before. Call it your graduation present."
"What?" Pan said surprised.
"I know I'm.going soon." Maggie struggled to breathe. "You were always so kind to me and helped even when you thought I had nothing to pay you back, and I want to thank you for that. What I mean by graduation present is.Pan, I've made my will already, and it will help you start the business you've always wanted. Thank you for making my last moments happy." Maggie's eyes started giving in.
"What are you talking about?" Pan whispered. Maggie's eyes finally closed and exhaled one last breath. Pan's eyes filled with tears. "Maggie?...Maggie?" A tear rolled down Pan's cheek. "Maggie?" Then Pan focused on Maggie's mouth and saw a hint of a smile. She understood now.
^*^*^*^
~DING DONG.DING DONG~ Pan opened the door "Can I help you?"
"Are you Pan Son?" "Yeah" "Hi. I'm Jane. I'm Maggie's lawyer.May I step in?" The place smelled of very good food. "Oh. Sorry. Of course.would you like something to drink?" *What does Maggie's lawyer want here? I didn't kill her.* "No, that's ok. I came to speak to you about Maggie's will. You are now owner of all of Maggie's valuables.Now, you need to sign this, and this, and these other three."
*Sheesh!* By now Pan remembered Maggie's last words. She didn't truly believe it was a lot, but it was Maggie's wish, so she would accept it. "Exactly how much are we talking about?" Curiosity got the best of her.
"You don't know?" Jane asked. Pan replied with an utterly confused look. "If I'm not mistaken a little over a million." "Dollars!?!" Pan yelled. "Of course dollars!" Jane spat.
Pan didn't know exactly what to think. *How could Maggie have kept it from me? She could have lived a luxurious life!* "One.million.dollars."
"Hello! Papers!" Jane interrupted her thoughts. "Yeah." Pan replied simply before signing the papers.
"Mommy, I'm hungwy." Said Cyan.
"OOOHHH! Who's the cutie?" Jane sounded excited.
"He's my son Cyan. Cyan, say hi." "HI" Waved Cyan. "OOOHHH! He's so adorable!" Squeaked Jane.
Pan finished signing the papers, and after a little chit-chat, Jane took off. *One million dollars. I can't get over it.* "Our life is solved Cyan." Pan said while squeezing her son who had no idea what was going on.
^*^*^*^
It was May already, but not a particular day for Pan.
"Cyan wake up. Time for school!" Pan woke her four year old boy.
"Do I have to?" "Yes you do. C'mon! Up!"
Pan's hands were dressing Cyan, but her mind was somewhere else. *I can't believe everything that has happened to me since I left my house. And how much my life has changed. I would never have dreamt of having a kid and my very own finance firm.my dream: president of my very own business. I have Maggie to thank for it. Without her financial help S.P. Financial would not be as big as it is today. Well, without her help I wouldn't have been able to pay for both Cyan and school! And Cyan is such a menace! But it would be boring if he weren't. He fills my life with happiness. When I see that little chubby face smile I can't resist. Sheesh! I really can't believe how much time has flown. Cyan will be in first grade next year! Shit! If I take any longer, he won't make it to school today!*
As Pan drove to drop Cyan off and then to work she kept on thinking how things had changed for her. And couldn't help but wander what her life would be like had she never left home.
^*^*^*^*^*^
"Good Morning Amanda! Any messages today?" She said to her secretary.
"Morning Miss Son. No, none today" Her secretary chirped.
Pan entered the meeting room to find that almost everyone was there. "Perhaps, you would consider be prompt Miss Son. After all, it IS your company."
"First, it's not eight yet. Second, try being a single mom with no relatives near by. Third, like you said, it's MY company and I can get here whenever I want." Pan finished with a fake smile. Some of her colleagues couldn't hold their chuckles after she told off that old cranky man no one liked. A few minutes later, everyone was there and Pan started the meeting.
"OK" started the foreign relations representative, "I would like to share with you my ideas of where we should build the first franchise of S.P. Financial."
Every person in the room paid careful attention when the possible countries for S.P. Financial were exposed. The representative went on to mention Japan. After hearing this, Pan flinched a little, hoping for a moment the council would choose it.
And indeed, the council voted unanimously for Japan as there were many small businesses that could very well hire S.P. Financial for advice and such.
"So Japan it is!" yelled the representative. *THEY will understand if I don't go see them right away. I don't feel like being judged just yet.* Pan thought not feeling guilty at all.
^*^*^*^
"Oh! What a day!" Pan said as she took her shoes off. Cyan just walked to his room and threw his bag on his bed. "Hey Cyan! Come here!"
"I didn't do it!" he said. "You didn't do what?" "Nooothing." Cyan replied innocently.
Pan eyed him suspiciously before speaking. "Your birthday is coming up. You're going to be five! Aren't you excited?" Pan squealed.
"Yeah." He said matter-of-factly. "What do you want for your birthday?" "Um" A pensive Cyan replied, "I know! I want to meet my dad!" "What!?!"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Well? You didn't think I'd stop there did you? MWAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok, I admit it, I AM EEEVIL! Now back to the story! ^_^
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
*Gosh! Cyan wants to meet his father? I guess they both deserve to meet each other. Well, I guess I'll be doing more than business in Japan.* Pan thought drifting off to sleep.
^*^*^*^*
Butterflies were an understatement to describe what she was feeling in her stomach. It had been a couple of weeks after that fateful day when Cyan told her he wanted to meet her dad and the meeting that decided she would be traveling back to Japan. *Why am I so nervous? Gosh, I miss everyone so much. I can't wait to see them. I hope they don't kick me out again.*
Hoy voy a verte de nuevo
Today I will see you again
Voy a envolverme en tu ropa
I'll wrap myself in your clothes
Susúrrame en tu silencio
Whisper me in your silence
Cuando me veas llegar.
When you see me arrive.
*I wonder how they're doing. I wonder how they'll react to Cyan. I wonder how Cyan will react when he finds out he has more family than me. I miss Kalid. It's going to be nice seeing him.* "Mommy, my ears feel weird." Cyan interrupted her thoughts. "It'll be ok honey. We're going to land soon." *Soon Kalid.*
Hoy voy a verte de nuevo
Today I will see you again
Voy a alegrar tu tristeza
I will cheer up your sorrow
Vamos a hacer una fiesta
Let's make a party
Pa'que este amor crezca más.
So this love grows.
*.Soon you'll meet your son. And I'll see you.*
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
OK! So this is really it. Sorry I took long to update. I had some major block when I was writing the Marron part. Ok, as far as the song goes, I know there is an English version, and I know what it says. It's pretty in English too, but I really like how the Spanish version emphasizes the 'again' and that the other party will be glad that this person is back. That's why I decided to translate them rather than put the English version. But if you're curious of what the English version says go to www.letssingit.com and look up "Wrapped" by Gloria Estefan. One other thing, I came up with S.P. Financial from Pan's initials: Son Pan. If there is such a company, I'm sorry, I had no idea. Hope you liked this chapter, and don't forget to review! ^_^

Voy a alegrar tu tristeza
I will cheer up your sorrow
Vamos a hacer una fiesta
Let's make a party
Pa'que este amor crezca más.
So this love grows.
*.Soon you'll meet your son. And I'll see you.*

OK! So this is really it. Sorry I took long to update. I had some major block when I was writing the Marron part. Ok, as far as the song goes, I know there is an English version, and I know what it says. It's pretty in English too, but I really like how the Spanish version emphasizes the 'again' and that the other party will be glad that this person is back. That's why I decided to translate them rather than put the English version. But if you're curious of what the English version says go to www.letssingit.com and look up "Wrapped" by Gloria Estefan. One other thing, I came up with S.P. Financial from Pan's initials: Son Pan. If there is such a company, I'm sorry, I had no idea. Hope you liked this chapter, and don't forget to review! ^_^
