DESTINY OF THE COUPLES 13

Pan noticed the trio leave, heard them talking about going to the lake. She felt diaapointed they didn't ask her, but wouldn't let that ruin her day.

*Goten, Bra and Trunks at the Lake*

"Cannonball!" Bra jumped in the lake, making a big splash. She finally realized how much she had missed out on.

"Good one Bra. Hey Trunks, what time is it?" Goten asked.

"Wow, we've been here for 2 hours. Do you think it's time to go up and eat lunch?" Trunks suggested.

"Yeah, I'm famished." Bra said, her stomach giving a belching noise.

The three flew back up to the castle.

"There you are! I've been looking for you. Dinner's ready." Then Chi Chi noticed, "Where's Pan?"

Bra, Trunks and Goten looked at each other awkwardly.

"Ummm.....she didn't want to come, so we went to the lake without her, and now we don't know where she is." said Trunks.

Chi Chi sighed. "I guess I'll get Goku to look for her."

And Chi Chi went down another direction.

"Where do you think Pan is?" Goten asked.

"Like we'd care." Bra muttered.

"Bra! That's my sister. And your former friend, how can you two stay mad at each other for so long?"

"It's her fault!" Bra said.

"So, atleast one of you can come to an apology. I would have thought it have been you, because you know Pan's stubborn attitude."

"Well, for once, I'm not going to be bossed by Pan any longer." Bra threw her nose in the air and walked off towards dinner.

"Yeah, I agree with Bra. You have to admit, Pan's a bitch." Trunks said.

"How can YOU say that? You're the one has bossed her around all her life, and I think in her case you're being the bitch! Haven't you ever thought that Pan might be fed up with all your bull shit?!" Goten yelled. Palace guards that were nearby, looked at Goten as though they've never seen a sayjin before. Trunks's face got red with anger.

"You're saying this because Pan's your sister and because you've gotten used to living with her and her evil ways." Trunks walked off. Goten, not hungry anymore, walked off towards his dad to search for Pan.

*Pan*

Little did anyone know, Pan was still on the palace grounds. And in Bulma's lab. Carefully, she looked over each invention and creation of Bulma's until she found the one she needed: A ki shield ring. Now, totally unexposed, she looked at all Bulma's machines. Then she noticed shelves of capsules with different names on them. She noticed a particular door which read: space ships. Pan smiled, now was the chance to escape. Escape her uneventful life, and go to some new distant planet. She froze when she heard voices, and cursed when she wasn't unable to get a capsule because she had to hide.

"Let's check down here Goten." she heard her father say.

Her father and brother searched the lab. They too noticed the ki shields.

"Dad, she could have used one of these to block her ki." Goten said in an exasperated sort of voice.

"Yeah, this will make things hard. Why is she running away like this?"

"It's a small arguement she has with Trunks and Bra."

"With Bra? Why would she be mad at Bra. Goten, tell the truth. Because it wouldn't be a small arguement if Bra was in it."

"Well uh-" Goten started. *Please, keep your mouth closed Goten!* Pan thought silently from underneath a desk.

"Well, I'll say it to you briefly: PanandTrunksgotinabigfightbecausePantookpicturesofTrunksdoingsomethingembarr esingandsheranoffwiththepicturesandthreatnedtoblackmailTrunksandtrunksgotmad andgotthepicturesbyreachingdownhershirtandpanwassomadsheavoidedtrunks."

Goten stopped, breathing heavily. Unfortunantly, Goku heard every word with a shocked look on his face. Pan got enraged, and it was a lucky thing she wore the ki shield because her ki was exploding.

"And why is she mad at Bra?" Goku asked.

"She defended Trunks and that's what pissed her off. And today, we kinda went to the lake without inviting Pan and now we don't know where she is. And Trunks and Bra don't even care."

Goku sighed. "I'm going to have to talk to Trunks and Bra about this."

Goten was amazed his father wasn't angry at Trunks.

"Dad, aren't you going to get even, and kick Trunks's ass?!" questioned Goten. To Goten's amazment, Goku smiled. Pan was starting to wonder what in the hell her father was smiling about when he heard that his daughter got violated.

"No Goten, I'm not going to kick his ass." he looked at Goten's thunderstruck face and explained. "Haven't you noticed the two. They may seem to hate each other, but deep down, they have feelings for each other."

"Then those feelings must be DEEP down-" Goten started, but Goku interuppted.

"I'm not worried about Trunks reaching down my daughter's shirt, though it kinda angers me he would show signs this early."

"Signs?"

"Don't you see? They're bonded. Though, they have a odd way of expressing it. But when Pan turns 18, the bond will be official." Goten started laughing desbelieving. Pan had her jaw on the floor.

"It's true. And I wouldn't lie about something like this. Because I know of another bond." Goten stopped laughing. "You and Bra. You two were meant to be together. Bra takes after Bulma, who atleast shows her sensitive side, and you take after me. You both are nice carefreeing people that were meant to be together."

"And Pan took after Chi Chi, and Trunks took after Vegeta. So they both have a desire for power and dominance and were meant to be the perfect match." Goten said, finally understanding.

"Yes, and hopefully Pan will come to her sences. Because if she decides to leave, farther away than this planet, Trunks or Pan will die. That's why it's important for us to find Pan." Goku said.

Pan shakily got out from under the desk from hearing this.

"Dad, I'm right here." Pan said squeakily.

"Pan! You've heard what we've said?" Goten asked her.

"Yes......and I hardly dare to believe it!" Goku smiled, knowing his daughter's attitude.

"Come on Pan, let's go up to dinner. And there, we are going to discuss what has been said. It's better for all four of you to know." Goku led Goten and a reluctant Pan out the door and towards the dinner hall.

************************************************************* *A/N* AS I've said, I've been on vacation. And then I read the reviews, and was a bit shocked that peeps were upset that Trunks and Pan were fighting. So forgive me if it took me a while to change my story around. But thankfully I updated, right?!
