AN: I didn't get as many reviews as I would have liked. So this

chapter, if I don't get atleast 10 reviews, I'm going to stop the story,

because, whats the point in writing it, if no one reads!

Oh My God, Videl was raped. I thought it would be totally

obvious, yet,

I still had some people really surprised.

Guess I'm better than I thought I was.

Alright then, now for the pointless disclaimer:

:Insert:

I don't own this.

So don't sue please!

The only thing I own is the plot.

So enjoy the story, and remember R+R!

~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~ ~ Chapter 3: Drowning.

"So mom, whats for breakfast?" Pan walked into the

kitchen, and frowned upon finding it empty. Where was her

mother? Turning she retraced her steps to the door of her

parents' bedroom, and sure enough, by stretching out her

energy, Pan could sense her mom's ki. Why was she still in

bed?

"Mom?

No answer.

Pan opened the bedroom door, the lights were off. Wrinkling

her brow she looked into the darkness, she could make out

her mother's figure in the bed, sheets wrapped around her

body.

The hell?

Pan stepped cautiously into the room, wary of her

surroundings. She had heard her father leave earlier that

morning, and was starting to wonder if something had happend

between her parents.

"Mom?" She asked quietly. Her mother stirred and turned

around producing red swelling eyes, and mused long hair.

"Panny? Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?"

Pan frowned at her mother's appearence. "Mom, whats wrong?"

Videl forced a smile, not wanting to worry her daughter, and

replied. "It's nothing honey, I just drank a little to much

last night." She winced.

Isn't that the truth.

"Why are your eyes so red?" Pan asked sitting next to her

mom. Videl's lip trembled and she quickly bit it. "I'm just

sleepy, that's all. Now, you'd better hurry or else you'll

be late." Pan's glanced at her watch, and her eyes widened

when she realized that her mom was right.

"Oh, shoot, sorry mom, I hope you feel better." Pan kissed

her mom on the forehead, and lept down the stairs, grabbed

her bookbag, and flew out the door.

Guess she was skipping breakfast today. ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~

By lunch time her stomach felt like a thousand ki blasts

were ripping it apart. Pan goaned in agony as she opened her

capsule that held her school lunch. Tears of relief

streaming down her face she began to eat.

Leaning back against a tree, sighing at a full stomach, Pan

thought.

Something was deffinatly wrong with her mother, why was she

crying?

Somehow Pan just knew it was something her dad had done.

She wasn't stupid either, she'd been around. Most of her

friends families were either split up or already divorced.

She knew how most highschool sweethearts ended up.

But her dad wouldn't do that would he?

No, her daddy loved her mom. She had seen how he fretted

over her in her absence.

Then what the HELL was going on?

The bell jerked Pan out of her thoughts and sighing again,

she headed back towards the entrance of her school.

Somehow, she would make it right.

~~~ ~ ~ ~

Videl got out of bed at about 10.

She made her way down the stairs, dragging her feet.

She felt like shit.

Glancing in the hall mirror she winced.

She looked like shit.

Wrinkling her nose she took out a coffee pot, and set up the

coffee machine. Sitting down at the table, Videl sighed,

waiting for her coffee to finish. She knew Gohan was mad,

and he had a good reason to be, Videl had come home

smelling like another man, with no explanation, and had just

expected everything to be ok. The coffee maker dinged and

Videl stood up poored her coffee and stared blankly out the

window.

Somehow.

She would make it right.
