Pan pulled up to the driveway at Libby's house and parked her car. For some time, Pan was having the feeling that there was more to Libby than met the eye. Her ki was unusually high for a normal human, which meant she could be as strong as some of the Z fighters, if not stronger. Pan felt that it was time to trust Libby with the truth about herself. Pan got out of her car and sighed. She knew that the fights between Libby and her mom were pretty bad, but they never got to the point where Libby would call Pan crying asking if she could stay for a few days at her apartment. Something was wrong with Libby and Pan was determined to find out what it was. Libby saw Pan get out of the car and ran outside to greet her.
"Hey Pan, thanks for coming over." Libby said.
Pan took a good look at her and gasped. She had a black eye, blood trickling down her face, arms, and legs. Her clothes were ripped and torn, and her eyes were puffy and bloodshot from crying.
"Holy shit! Libby, what happened?!" Pan exclaimed.
Libby broke into tears again and started sobbing heavily. Pan went up and wrapped her in a protective hug. She stroked her hair, and gently rocked her until she calmed down.
"Libby, what's going on?" Pan asked
"You're not gonna believe this, Pan. My mom and I had another fight, but this time she went out of control and started beating on me. I didn't want to hurt her Pan, but god knows what she could have done had I not fought her back!" Libby exclaimed.
Libby started crying hysterically again. Pan's eyes widen and her jaw dropped.
~Oh my Kami! Libby fought her mom? She actually fought back? ~
The shock settled in after a few minutes and Libby continued.
"I… I… I think I may have killed her, Pan. She tried to shove me against the wall and I pushed her back. I pushed way to hard though, she went flying back, landing on the glass coffee table and broke it. When she got up she came at me big shard of the broken glass. She tried to stab me with it! I had to defend myself! I didn't mean to hurt her that badly, though!" Libby sobbed.
Pan's face went deathly pale. She suddenly felt an increase in Libby's ki and inwardly smirked.
~Well well, Libby's ki is beginning to increase. She either be really scared or really pissed off. Come to think of it, she does a higher ki than most normal humans. It's even stronger than my mom's and grandpa Satan's put together. Hell, she may even be as strong as Yamcha, or Krillan. This is incredible! It's definitely time to tell Libby the truth ~
"Its okay, Libby. Let's go get your stuff and get you to my apartment." Pan said.
Libby nodded and led Pan inside. What saw shocked her. The house was completely destroyed. Everything was broken and there was blood all over the walls and floor. In the middle of the room lay the unmoving body of Mrs. Garcia. Her clothes were torn and her body was bloody and full of bruises. She looked a lot worse than Libby did. Pan walked up to her and felt for a pulse. To her relief, she felt one. It was weak, but it was there.
"She's still alive, Libby, but we have to get to the hospital as soon as possible." Pan said.
"Hai." Libby said.
Libby ran to the kitchen to call an ambulance. The fact that her mom was still alive seemed to calm Libby somewhat, because Pan noticed her ki was beginning to gradually drop back to normal. Libby came back a moment later.
"They'll be here in a few minutes." Libby said.
~The sudden increase in ki must have really worn her out. Poor thing, living with a mother like that. It's amazing that they're both still alive right now, but how is it that Libby's still conscience while her mom's out cold? Well, it doesn't matter. Libby's alright and Mrs. Garcia is still alive, that's all that matters. I'm gonna have to get Libby something to eat to get her energy back up. ~
The ambulance came five minutes later and asked what had happened. Pan gasped as she realized who came out of the ambulance.
Yamcha, is that you?" Pan asked.
"Oh my god, Pan-chan?!" Yamcha exclaimed.
Pan ran up to him and he wrapped her in a hug. Libby slowly walked up to them.
"Pan, do you know this guy?" Libby asked.
"Yes. Libby, this is Yamcha. He's a really good friend of my family's. Yamcha, this is Libby." Pan said.
"Hi Libby. Nice to meet you." Yamcha said.
Libby nodded.
"Like wise." Libby said.
Yamcha took a good look at Libby and looked back at Mrs. Garcia on the stretcher. Only now did he notice how bloody and bruised they both were.
~What happened here? Libby doesn't look like the kind of girl who fights for no reason. I'll have to tell Pan to tell me what happened later. ~
"Libby, is that your mother that we're rushing to the hospital?" Yamcha asked.
Libby sighed and closed her eyes tiredly.
"Y… Yes, it is." Libby whispered.
Pan went and placed a hand on Libby's shoulder.
"Libby, it's gonna be okay. It wasn't your fault. She could have killed you. You were just defending yourself. Don't worry about it." Pan said.
Libby sighed again and looked up at Pan teary eyed.
"I know. It's just that, I still can't believe this happened." Libby said.
"Hey, don't you worry now Libby. Your mom's in good hands with us." Yamcha said.
Libby managed a weak smile and wiped the tears that were now rolling down her cheeks.
"Thank you, Yamcha-san." Libby said.
Yamcha looked at Libby with a surprised look. Pan giggled and turned to face Yamcha.
"She's the one who taught me to talk English, so I've been teaching her a bit of Japanese. Wait a minute, how did you know English?" Pan asked.
Yamcha laughed.
"I learned it from an American friend as well when I came here to study medicine four years ago. It's pure luck that I ran into you, though." Yamcha said.
"I see. Well, I'm glad to see you again, Yamcha." Pan said.
"It was nice meeting you." Libby said.
"Pleasure's all mine. Now, let's get your mom to the hospital." Yamcha said.
"Alright." Libby said.
"Don't worry, everything's gonna turn out fine." Yamcha said.
Libby nodded gratefully and he went to help get Mrs. Garcia into the ambulance. She went and tapped Pan on the shoulder.
"Pan, I'm hungry." Libby said.
Pan smiled.
"Well, let's go get you something to eat, then." Pan said.
"Just give about five minutes. Let me just go freshen up a bit." Libby said.
"Alright girl. Take your time." Pan said.
Libby went off to her room and Yamcha went up to Pan.
"Pan, get her to the hospital as soon you guys are done. Yes, she's in better condition than her mom is, but I still think she go and get some sort of treatment." Yamcha said.
Pan nodded and Yamcha went off to take Mrs. Garcia to the hospital.
~Hmm… I hope Libby can handle what I'm about to tell her. I'm also going too personally take it upon myself to train her so she'll at least be prepared should something like this ever happen again. God willing it won't. I'll also teach her how to control her ki so she can fly. ~
Those were Pan's last thoughts as she sat down on the couch to wait for her.
A/N: Having Yamcha as a medic in Cali seemed like a good idea at the time I wrote it. *sigh* Oh well. R/R.
"Hey Pan, thanks for coming over." Libby said.
Pan took a good look at her and gasped. She had a black eye, blood trickling down her face, arms, and legs. Her clothes were ripped and torn, and her eyes were puffy and bloodshot from crying.
