Chapter 5: The Story
Flashback...
"...17,18, 19, 20! Ready or not, here I come!" Goten yelled. Trunks, Marron, Bra, Pan, and he were playing hide and seek tag. Goten heard a rustle in the bushes. He turned top see Trunks bolting to the tree that they named base. Goten was going to run after him but decided not to since he heard someone else dash behind him. He saw that it was Pan. He smiled deviously.
"Hi, Panny," he said. "I'm gonna get you." He ran after her. Pan shrieked with laughter.
"Panny! Over here!" Trunks called to her. He was hanging off of a tree branch by his legs. Pan ran to him with Goten close behind. She grabbed Trunks' hands. He flipped her onto the branch with him and slipped his arm around her waist making her fall backwards into his chest.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Goten yelled.
"Life's not fair," Trunks shot back with a giggling Pan in his arms.
"He's right you know."
Goten turned around to see Marron and Bra leaning against the tree.
"Ahh! You distracted me! This was all a part of your plot, wasn't it?" Goten screamed.
"Maybe, maybe not," replied Trunks.
"You guys have ten seconds before you have to get off the base. I'll be waiting."
"You can't just stand there! That's not fair!" Trunks complained.
"Life's not fair, Trunks. Life's not fair," Goten repeated and made Trunks growl. By that time, Marron and Bra had already ran away.
"Why didn't you go after them?" Trunks questioned.
"Because I want the satisfaction of tagging one of you since you... jumped into a pile of banana juice!" Goten yelled. (A/N: Are you happy Talia? I put it in! LOL!) There was a moment of silence before Pan attempted to stifle a giggle and Trunks asked,
"What!?"
"Uh...I mean...You two seem to be teaming up against me," he yelled. "By the way, your times just about up."
Trunks frowned and looked for a way to escape. He decided to jump to another branch and jump down from there.
"Pan, hold on," he told her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he jumped. It didn't take long for Goten to catch up with them.
"Pan, we have to split up!" Trunks whispered. The young girl just nodded into his shoulder. He loosened his grip on her and let her fall. She ran one way, and ran the other. Goten started to follow Pan because he knew that she was the slowest runner due to her age. Trunks noticed this and ran towards the both of them. Just before Goten tagged her, Trunks dove, encircled Pan with his arms, and rolled her out of 'harms' way.
Inside...
"I beat you, Vegeta. Why can't you accept that?" Goku asked.
"The Saiya-jin prince does not lose to anyone!" Vegeta grunted.
"...But me," Goku added. Vegeta grunted yet again and walked outside to the patio.
"Don't they look cute together?" Bulma said referring to the children.
"Especially Pan and Trunks," Videl said.
"Thinking of grandchildren already?" Chichi said grinning at her daughter-in-law.
"What?!" Videl asked feigning shock. Bulma smiled. She couldn/t wait for grandchildren either.
"I will not allow my bloodline to be mixed with his!" Vegeta said overhearing their conversation while he pointed at Goku.
"And why not?" challenged Bulma.
"I don't want Pan around him either," Gohan said. "They're getting too close."
"I think they'd look cute together," Goku added.
"I just think we should separate the families for awhile," Gohan suggested.
Bulma, Chichi, and Videl gasped at Gohan's idea. Somehow knowing that they wouldn't be able to argue about the decision, they agreed. They were to live on California in one of Hercule's many estates. The Sons' packed their things in the capsules Bulma demanded them to take. After their car was packed, they said their final goodbyes. Trunks and Goten were saying goodbye to each other while Pan and Bra were latched on to one another in a hug. The adults were doing the same thing.
"Oh, I'm going to miss you guys," Bulma said to Chichi and Videl.
"Yeah, it's not going to be the same without your company and your cooking," Eighteen added looking from Videl to Chichi. The four of them laughed.
"We'll try and stay in touch with you two," Videl said.
"The car's ready, you guys! It's time to go!" Gohan called.
Trunks made his way over to Pan, as Goten did the same to Bra who was talking to Marron. Trunks kneeled in front of the small child.
"I don't want to leave," Pan whispered looking down at the ground. Trunks put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up. He saw that she had started to cry.
"Panny, don't cry," Trunks said taking her into an embrace. "We'll see each other again. I promise."
Videl walked over to the two children. "Pan we have to leave now," she choked. She took the raven-hired girl's hand into her own, while Trunks loosened his grip. Her mother began to drag her toward the car. Somehow Pan managed to escape her mother's hold, run up to Trunks, and jumped into his arms.
"I don't want to leave," Pan cried onto his shoulder. "I'll miss you."
"Shhh. It's okay. It will all be okay," Trunks responded. She looked up at him, eyes wide, and he gently kissed her cheek. Gohan made his way over to them. He took Pan into his arms and said goodbye to Trunks. Then, he turned and walked towards the car. As he did so, Pan waved to Trunks, who in return smiled. Then the Sons' got into the car and drove way to the airport and out of their lives.

Graelyn: I'm sorry that the last chapter was so short. I didn't know it was going to end up that short. Well, here's the next chapter posted a little early for your enjoyment. ^_^()
Thanks to the following people who bothered to review for the little blob I posted as a chapter:
MeerKat
ladybugg: no, Pan is not dead... she just has other 'duties' at the moment...

chibi playing with fire: I didn't intend to be mean. And I know cliffhangers suck, however it does add to the suspense, ne?
