A/N: I'm back! Yeah! I'm going to be posting again. Sorry I haven't posted in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long! I've been busy with all sorts of crap! Oh well, now I'm back to writing and that's all that matters! Now on to chapter 4! ^_^

Chapter 4- Lost In Confusion

Pan awoke in a rather large room. About as large as the main room at Capsule Corporations. She rested her head against a soft pillow, *where am I?*

Pan then was startled when the room door slammed shut. Kichomiro sat in a chair across the room from her, "hello, Pan. You've finally awoken." Pan growled, "what do you want!? Where did you take me!?"

Kichomiro chuckled, "does it really matter? You are very valuable, Pan. You can come to good use to us." "us?" Pan repeated as three more people walked into the room. Two were male, one was female.

"Santa, Rio, Karachi, please help Miss Son get around the palace," Kichomiro said to the three people. "palace?" Pan repeated. Santa glared at her as Kichomiro left.

Santa pushed Pan against the wall. Santa held a dagger out to Pan's throat, "don't you DARE get into my master's head! He's not for you!" Santa released Pan and flipped her golden hair over her shoulder.

"Now, now, Santa. Don't be so rough on the girl," Karachi said helping Pan off the ground. Pan seemed to notice something about this boy. Not evil, yet not good.

Karachi looked at her, "dear Pan-san, please excuse Santa's rude behavior. She has a lil crush on the prince, you know."

Pan blushed at his sweet voice, "I-it's ok. No harm done really." Karachi smiled at her, "as long as you feel welcome, Pan-san." Santa huffed, "don't waist your breath! She's a brat! Small and weak!"

Rio grabbed Santa by the shoulders and pushed her out. "hey!" Rio closed the door then turned to Karachi, "look, the saiyan girl is obviously annoyed by us. Kichomiro needs to speak to us anyway." Karachi nodded and fallowed Rio out of the room.

Pan sat down on the side of the bed, "where am I? and who are these people?"

Trunks and Bra awoke to the hustle and bustle of the busy mall. "what happened?" Bra asked her big brother. "I'm not really sure." Trunks said as he noticed Tyrece, "Hey! Tyrece! Over here!"

Tyrece walked over to his friends, "you guys okay? This dude turned you all into zombies!" Trunks cocked an eyebrow and Bra sweatdropped, "yeah.right."

Bra looked around, "where's Pan-chan?" Trunks blinked, "yeah, Ty, where is she?" Tyrece shrugged, "she's gone. I'm afraid she was kidnapped."

Trunks froze and Bra broke down, "Pan."

~*~*~*~*~

Pan stood up from the edge of the bed and walked over to the door, *I have to get out of here.Trunks, Bra, Momma, and Papa are waiting for me.and Tyrece too.* Pan shook her head frantically, *that hentai! Why do I think about him!? Because he's a good friend.* Pan smiled softly at her last thought and reach for the doorknob.

Pan jumped as Karachi entered the room. "hello Pan-san. I want to show you around the palace," He smiled. Pan felt comforted by his smile, "ok."

Karachi held his hand out to her and she took it as they walked out of the room into the halls of the palace.

Karachi walked her to a small chamber, "this is the kitchen. I'll teach you how to sneak food, k?" Pan giggled a bit, "that's cool." *he's not like the others.he's somehow.different.*

Karachi then showed her the garden, "the prince likes to be here a lot. Me, I personally like the rose garden. Do you like roses?" Pan nodded slightly, unsure. Karachi waved his hand and a red rose appeared in his hand, "I think you'll like this place a lot, Pan-san."

Pan took the rose as he handed it to her. She smiled as the enchanting smell of the rose filled her nose. Karachi smiled at her, "you are a demi- saiya-jin, am I right?" Pan looked up at him, "yes I am." Karachi's comforting smile still loomed on his face, "the saiyan race.a rare yet primal race.how lucky you are to be the same race as many warriors that crossed the galaxy."

Pan blushed a bit, *is this guy flattering me!? how old! But it's working.* Her face faulted, "yes, well.I don't like to dwell in the past. My race is endangered now. Just me and my friends left.we have to find a way to revive the saiya-jin race!" Pan just then realized what she said, "I.I mean."

Karachi patted her shoulder, "don't worry. We're not in this in order to kill your jii-chan and Oji-Vegeta." Pan sighed inwardly in relief, "oh."

((A/N: Oji-Vegeta means "Prince Vegeta" for any of you who didn't know! ^_^))

Karachi led her to the main hall where Kichomiro was. Pan glared at Karachi, "why did you bring me HERE?" Karachi sweatdropped, "I got my orders, Pan-san. I can't just ignore them. I like you and all but you're still Oji-Kichomiro's guest." Pan growled at him, "baka.that yarou is not worth my time." Karachi was shocked, "really? He's more powerful than Buu ya' know." Pan stared at him, "HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BUU!?"
