Chapter 7: Relocate to America
"Pan?" Her mother, Videl, peeked her head into the door. Pan was sitting on her bed, completing her homework for the evening.
"Hi Mom. What's up? Hold on I'm almost finished," She said, her pencil scribbling fast. When she was done, she set her books down and looked up. Her mother had come in and settled herself on the window seat.
"I have some bad news hun."
"What is it?"
"The tournament has been relocated because they couldn't get the owner of the ring to lease it to them this year. They had some troubles and decided not to cancel but relocate," Videl replied.
"Oh," This was bad news to Pan. What if they couldn't make it to the tournament? All that work would be for nothing. "Well, where is it then?"
"The committee decided that they didn't want to keep it in Japan, they were so mad. Your Grandfather Hercule has more connections than you know, and he told us that the tournament is taking place in two weeks so they can get set up," Videl said.
"Ya, but you still didn't answer my question," Pan persisted. What was going on?
There was hesitation in her mother's eyes but she spoke anyway, "It's being held in the United States, in California to be exact, and Gohan and I are don't know if we should go."
"Oh my gosh, really? Are you kidding me? Mom, please, please, please can we still go? This is so cool! Please?!" Pan was so excited. She had never traveled half way around the world before! She had heard all sorts of stories of America, but she never dreamt of going there so soon.
Videl put up her hands and said laughing, "Ok, ok, calm down!" Her daughter obviously could not contain her excitement. "I'll talk it over with your father okay? Is that a compromise?" She stood up to leave and Pan got up with her.
"Okay!" Pan said a little too eagerly.
"It would be nice to have a little family vacation," Videl said as she was heading out the door, and this only made Pan happier. A vacation with Trunks! Pan ran and hugged her mother, barely able to stop laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After her mom left and Pan was able to settle down, she flopped onto her bed, thoughts and pictures floating into her head. She could imagine it now: lying on a beach chair on the coasts of Cali, clad in a tiny bikini with Trunks lying next to her.
She giggled; another thought of her winning the tournament was tempting. Holding up the magnificent trophy and Trunks kissing her as a reward. Either one satisfied her.
She quickly telephoned Bra and then Marron. Krillin, 18, and Marron were currently living in Osaka, south of Tokyo. Their family had wanted to move and travel, rather than stay in the same place, also due to the fact that 18 was pregnant once again. Pan hadn't spoken to Marron in a while, but this was definitely a time to call.
Bra was ecstatic and couldn't wait; she didn't fight as much as Pan, although she reckoned Bra's potential was bigger than her own, her own father being the Prince Vegeta. If this was to be a true vacation, they wanted a family reunion, because you obviously couldn't go wrong with California!
Pan didn't have to call Trunks; he called her immediately after her conversation with Bra. Pan had yet to tell Bra about the two of them, and she made a mental note to mention it next time. Trunks had heard the news from Bra, and he was just as excited. Even though he was a businessman in the making, he always had time for fun.

At dinner that night, Pan was nervous. She wouldn't be able to bear it if her dad said they couldn't go. Everyone was silent, it was only herself, Mom, and Dad. Goten had opted for a night out in the clubs, and Goku instant transmissioned himself to his own home.
Their own home was not stationed in the middle of nowhere, they had moved since a few years ago, they lived closer to Vegeta's home and Capsule Corporation, more in the suburbs. The Corp. needed room to expand so they had gone into the less populated areas of Tokyo.
Pan couldn't wait, so she decided to start the conversation herself. "So, ummm..Dad, has Mom told you about the tournament yet?"
Gohan looked at her from his food, his glasses hanging on the edge of his nose. He took them off and said, "Well, yes she did and I've been thinking. I'm not sure if it's a good idea." He stopped there, leaving Pan not knowing what to think.
"And?" she practically squeaked.
"It's Goku and Chi chi's 40th wedding anniversary the weekend of the tournament."
Once that sentence was over, Pan knew she was doomed.
But he continued, "And I thought it would be great if we all celebrated it on the beaches of California."
Pan sat there, stunned. She had expected a rejection. But she quickly regained control of herself and screamed, and ran and gave her dad a hearty hug. "Yes!"
"Now Pan," her mother said, smiling, "Don't get carried away, and don't forget to spend some of your time on the beach with your old folks, not just your girlfriends and Trunks." At this she gave a grin, and Gohan looked up from his food again and glanced at both of them. "What?" He said.
Both girls burst out laughing.

That's all folks! I know this was a blah blah blah informational chapter but I promise the next will be better. This was just to fill in the gaps of what is to come. Even though I'm taking away the Japan part of the story, the American tournament will be really good. As always, I request that you send me a review. I know what I want to happen but I would appreciate your ideas for this story!
Luv always,
Sarah
