The Gathering: Part 1
It was a prefect day outside. The sun was bright and hot, and a slight breeze floated through the trees now and then.
Chichi smiled as she watched her sons argue about where to put the tables. She felt no urge to intervene; her mood was to light. She had been counting down the days until she would get to see all of her old friends.
There would be a lot of laughter and talk, and the thought made Chichi smile. She hated when everyone lost touch after big threats, it had made things boring at her home in the mountains. Especially since Goku was gone.
"Hey Grams, mom said she needs your help in the kitchen." Chichi smiled at her granddaughter as she headed for the house.
Pan headed in the opposite direction. When she passed her grandmother she saw a light in her eyes, a light she hadn't seen since her grandfather had been around. Chichi was happy.
Pan's spirit became lighter as she closed in on her father and uncle.
"Did you two geniuses figure it out yet?" she asked as she looked at the five tables. Each table was covered in a white tablecloth. They were under the shade of two huge trees that met in the middle, just on the shore of the lake.
"Yep, these three are over here because they will hold all the food. The other two are side by side so everyone can talk." Her uncle explained to her. He gave his brother a glare over the earlier argument.
"Sure surprised me." Pan remarked as she gave Goten a grin. He returned the favor, and proceeded to chase her into the air.
"Children!" Gohan said to himself.

"Children!" Vegeta retorted as he turned his head from his daughter.
"I am not a child anymore Daddy! I do not see the problem with my bathing suit, after all that is part of the whole party beside the lake idea. What would you want me to wear; a pair of pants and a turtleneck? Mom is wearing her bathing suit for crying out loud!" Bulla yelled at her father.
"Yes but her's covers her." Vegeta replied. He then showed he no more interest in arguing with her by sitting back down in his seat.
He really didn't care about Bulla's suit. It was the fact that a few oglers were going to be there that he cared about. He looked over at Bulma, who gave him a disapproving look, and he knew a screaming at was coming.
----
Bulla sat in the comfort of her brother's arms as she cried. Trunks was confused. He couldn't remember the last time his sister had cried, well to him at least.
He lifted her head up, "What is wrong sis?"
She let a few more tears fall, then caught her breath as she told him what happened.
Trunks hugged her as he spoke, "You know very well that he didn't mean it. He just wants you to cover a little more because Goten is going to be there, and dad sees Goten as a threat to his little girl."
Bulla's tears had stopped completely now, "But Goten doesn't like me like that anymore."
-----
Marron had been quiet for the past fifteen minutes and it was starting to kill her. She wanted to know exactly why her parents felt it was necessary to wake her so early on her day off, and then not tell her why.
18 could hear her daughter's sighs of frustration from her daughter. 18 and Krill had not had time to tell their busy daughter where they were going when they woke her up this morning.
Marron had been working non-stop on her career the past few months, and had barely had time for anything else. She was now the most popular fashion designer in Capital City, and it was starting to show with the small lines on her face.
Krillin had been complaining that she was working way too much since her late nights and early mornings started. 18 had held her peace about it until recently when she forbid her daughter from leaving her sight for the next two weeks.
"Exactly where are we going?" Marron called to her parents for the tenth time in a row. Master Roshi simply gave her a smile and Puar and Olong asked her if she would be quiet.
"No I will not shutup, I have a right to know why I am being drug all the way to the mainland when mom forbid me to go." Marron protested.
"We are going to Gohan's, we would have told you last night but you were out so late we didn't have a chance. Now sit back there and enjoy the ride or we will be flying." Her mother said to her sternly.
Marron was silenced at once. It did not matter how old she got; her mother still frightened her more than anyone, well sometimes.
-------
Pan ran her hand through her hair as she tried to catch her breath.
It was almost time for everyone to be arriving. She was slightly nervous, but it was mostly from her mother and grandmother. They were busy bees working in the kitchen for the past two hours and their stress had caught on to Pan.
She jumped when she heard the door to the room open.
Gohan gave his daughter a smile, "Breifs' are here."
Pan nodded and he closed the door. Her stomach gave a sudden lurch, and she didn't like it one bit. She pushed her feelings aside, took a deep breath, and held her head high as she went out into the yard to great friends.
Bulla gave a slight squeal at the sight of Pan walking towards them across the lawn. They met each other half way and engaged in a hug.
Trunks watched his little sister and Pan while he laid some of the tons of food his mother had insisted on bringing. "Your drooling son." Vegeta said as he walked in front of him.
Trunks looked at his father in shock, but his back was already turned to the food that was tempting him.
His father was right, he was drooling. He couldn't help it; he had never seen Pan in a bikini before. It was black with blue straps, and she had a blue scarf tied around her waist to match her blue flip-flops.
His sister's red and orange outfit of the same style told him that they had planned this. They started walking in his direction when Marron intercepted them with a hug.
"Hey there Trunks. Man this food sure does look good." Krillin said as he patted Trunks on the back.
"Great to see you again Krillin, how had it been going?" Trunks asked as he sat down at one of the tables and started his conversation.
18 entered the Kitchen to find Videl and Bulma trying to support Chichi who was in a pool of tears. 18's appearance didn't help any. When Chichi saw her she engulfed her in a hug and let more tears fall. 18 looked at Bulma for help.
"Chichi come on we all missed you too, and we are all happy to see you. Now dry up those tears and get out there and have some fun." Bulma reassured her friend.
Chichi let go of 18 and they all went back to work in the kitchen. That was until Launch and Tien walked in. Chichi hugged them both until they were gasping for air.
Back outside Goten, Trunks, Bulla, Marron, and Pan had started a memory of game of sorts. Neither could get a head of the other.
Vegeta stood in the shade of the tree as he watched the others. Gohan came and stood beside him, "Long time no see Vegeta."
"So it seems. I can see you have still been neglecting your training." Vegeta replied without looking at him.
Gohan gave a slight laugh, "Great to see you too, and nice to see you haven't changed any in the past few years."
Everyone was now at the gathering, save for one person.
Trunks looked up at the road to see the red convertible Miada stop in front of the house. Then he felt his stomach flee from his body as he watched Kalvin step out of the sissy boy sports car and start across the lawn.
Pan jumped up with a smile on her face and went to greet him. His sandy blonde hair reflected the sun's light, and his brown eyes observed the crowd questionably.
Pan raised up on her tipi toes and kissed him, then she turned to the others, "Everyone this is Kalvin."
A/N: Well there is the Gathering part 1. I hope you likes, let me know. But I have something for everyone to vote on...I cant decide whether or not I want to let Pan and Trunks end up together, or let Pan and Kalvin stay together.
So Review and tell me what you think: Pan/Trunks? Or Pan/Kalvin...well thanks bunches
