Hey! Nothing to say today.

Last time:

I landed near a waterfall and ducked quickly through. I sat in the cave behind it and cried. I didn't really understand why his words hurt for sure, but I just cried. I cried until I had exhausted myself. I don't think all those tears were from what he said, I think they were from Angel's death...and they were the tears I couldn't cry when all seemed hopeless.

Finally, I fell into a cold and restless sleep.

I woke up in the morning shivering. I could see the sunlight through the waterfall, causing rainbows in the cave. I looked around, hoping to find Trunks, but I didn't. I wondered why he had let me stay here all night. It wasn't like him. Suddenly, she heard a call from the other side of the waterfall.

"Pan? Are you in there?" I debated answering him, but I didn't want him to worry.

"What do you want, Trunks?" I called back. As soon as I had answered, he burst through the waterfall. Trunks looked around for me and flared his ki to dry himself off. I wondered why I hadn't thought of that, but instead, I had sat here shivering.

"I'm so sorry, Pan. I don't know what came over me. I was probably releasing the worry that has built up, but that isn't an excuse. Can you forgive me?"

"Yeah, of course," I answered. He pulled me into his arms and pulled back in shock.

"You're freezing!" Trunks pulled off his jacket and wrapped it around me, then lifted me in his arms and took off back through the waterfall. He then flared his ki again to dry us both off. I was still cold, though, so, so he hugged me closer and kept his ki up, to use as a heat source. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before.

When I woke up, the covers of my bed were being pulled over me. I opened my eyes and saw Trunks pulling them up.

"Oh, Panny." He whispered. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. But now that you're awake, you should probably go take a bath or something to warm up." He suggested. I was still just a little cold, so I nodded. "Okay. I'll be downstairs if you need me." Trunks said and kissed my cheek. As he walked out of the room, I closed the door. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and got into the bathtub after filling it with hot water.

I didn't know how long I just sat there, relaxing. I may have even fallen asleep. I wasn't sure, but the thing I did know was that I could hear pounding coming from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Pan? Are you okay?" It was Trunks. "You've been in there for an hour."

"Oh...sorry. Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay, because Mum made breakfast. I'm sure you're not very hungry, but at least eat a little."

"Okay" I answered, listening to his retreating footsteps. I got out of the tub and dried off. Then I wrapped the towel around myself and another around my hair. Then I walked into my bedroom to find something to wear. I picked out a pair of jeans and a black shirt. After getting dressed, I walked back into the bathroom and combed out my hair and put it into a ponytail. After this, I brushed my teeth. As I walked downstairs, I sensed someone behind me. I turned around to find Vegeta.

"Brat," he said to me. "Have you been training?"

"...Not really...unless you count fighting the people who tried to kill me..." I answered.

"Well, yes, I would count that. I want to see you in the gravity room tomorrow. Seven a.m. sharp. Don't be late." With that, he stalked off back in the direction he came in. I stared at the place he had been a few seconds ago. He wants to train me? I'm dead meat. I shook my head and continued downstairs.

"Pan!" Bulma said, running over to me as I entered the kitchen. "Where were you?!"

"I'm sorry, Bulma. I was behind a waterfall last night." I didn't really want to tell her why. It would probably get Trunks in trouble. I could see him standing behind Bulma, over near the table.

"Why did you go there?"

"I...just needed to think." I hated to lie, but I really didn't want Trunks in trouble or anything.

"Oh...okay..." She seemed to buy it. Trunks let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, here's you breakfast." Bulma took a plate and set it down on the table next to where Trunks sat back down.

"Thanks." I said and took my seat next to him. At least today, there wasn't as much as yesterday. This time, I'd probably be able to eat it all. As I ate, Bulma started talking to me.

"I was thinking...do you really want a formal party?" She asked.

"No, not really." I answered between bites.

"Okay, that's good because I changed it to a casual party. I didn't think you'd be very comfortable in a dress. I'm thought you probably still didn't like them."

"Thanks. Yeah, I'd be more comfortable in casual clothes. I don't mind dresses, but I prefer not to wear them."

"Okay." Bulma said. During our conversation, Trunks had got up and left the table. I guess he had to work today. As I got up and cleared my spot, I grinned, thinking that I'd go rescue him from work. After setting my plate, etc. in the sink, I walked outside.

There was no one around, so I decided I'd go visit my Grandma Chi-Chi. I went back inside to tell Bulma where I was going, then took off into the air. I flew a little ways and soon found her house. It was, of course, the same one she had lived in since I can remember. When I landed on the porch, I knocked on the door, then opened it, she was family, after all, and probably wouldn't mind.

"Grandma? It's me, Pan!" I called, shutting the door behind me. I heard a clatter of a spoon hit the kitchen floor and then running footsteps.

"Panny?! It that really you?!" She was crying. "Goten told me you were back, but I wasn't sure." She threw her arms around me. "Well, come in! Come in! I'm making Goten's breakfast. He isn't awake yet." I laughed at this. It was already 10:00 and of course he was still asleep. When I walked into the kitchen, I was hit by a wave of wonderful smells. I sat down at the table and Grandma sat down, too.

"So, how have you been?" Grandma asked.

"Well, now that I'm back here, I've been much better." I answered, then went on to tell her, in little detail, about my life in the Ghetto. It took a while, and I'm sure after a while, she didn't want to hear about much more, so I skipped parts. A lot of parts. Until I got to the part when Trunks found me.

I did tell her parts of how Angel and I went to try to save the limo and fell in a trap. Of course, I told her how Trunks saved me, but wasn't in time to save her, and that Angel died. Of course, this, too wasn't in very much detail. I didn't remember a whole lot of this part anyway. I was sort of in a state of shock.

I was surprised (and relieved) that she didn't cry. I could tell that she wanted to, but she didn't. She didn't say much for a few minutes and right when she was about to, Goten burst into the room. He immediately ran over to me and hugged me again.

"Hi Uncle Goten!" I said, hugging him back.

"Hi Panny! And you can just call me Goten...it would be kinda weird since just you would be calling me "uncle"..." He released his grip before saying this.

"Okay..." I said.

"Goten, I'm guessing you want breakfast?" Grandma said. Goten was in his seat faster that a normal eye could see. He picked up his fork and knife as Grandma set down his plate of pancakes and bacon in front of him.

I stayed here for about two hours, catching up with Goten and Grandma. When I was about to leave, Goten stopped me.

"Are you going to go rescue Trunks from work?" He asked. I wondered how he knew.

"Yeah...how did you know?"

"Because you have always done that. They've got new security systems so you can't tap on his window. It'll set off an alarm and Bulma or someone might come running to stop him from leaving. Trunks and I came up with a plan. When you get outside the window, just raise your ki. He can open the window from the inside because he can quickly tap into the system on his computer and shut it off."

"Okay...thanks." I gave him a hug and took off towards the city. I got there and quickly found Trunks' building and office. I could see him from outside his window. He didn't seem to be getting any work done. I raised my ki like Goten had said. When I did, Trunks' head shot up and he jumped out of his chair. Then he realized that I was outside his window.

He held up a finger as to say 'just a minute' then sat down at his computer. After a few minutes, he came and opened the window. I flew inside and he then shut it. I landed in the middle of his rather large office.

"Hiya Panny!" He said and hugged me. "What brings you here?"

"I came to rescue you from this place. But now that I look around, I think I'd like to stay here! This way, you can get some work done!"

"Oh, yeah, you know I love working!" He said sarcastically. I laughed and nodded.
