CHAPTER 3
Back on Earth, all of the Z fighters are sleeping well, resting for whatever they will do the next day when the sun rises. Of course, not all of them are having the same peace. Again in the forest, the home of Son Gohan and his family lies in the center. The minds inside this building are feeling their rest except for one. Once again Pan is neglected another calm sleep. But instead of her usual dreams of the mysterious white being, she receives a nightmare…
Pan finds herself in a dry wasteland, dead of life. The dust from the ground below her makes all that she sees blurry and unclear. She senses something strange all around her, but she's not sure what or where exactly it is. Instead of getting into a defensive stance she just casually stands there covering her eyes from the dirt in the air, figuring it's just the white being again.
"Well? I don't see why your trying to surprise me, I already knew it was you last time, remember?"
There is no answer but the sound of the wind passing by.
"Hello? Oh, come on. Can we just cut to the chase instead of waiting for your grand entrance? I want to know what you know and why. Also, I want you to tell me right now whether you're a member of the saiyan race."
Again, there is no answer. Pan starts to become suspicious of this extended silence. She begins to start up a small ki blast to clear the dust but before she can she's grabbed from behind. The attacker had her arms pinned painfully to her sides while he continued to press them harder.
"Ah! Let me go! What do you want?!"
Pan tried with all her strength to loosen herself from the monster grip this person had, but to no avail. She tried to sense how strong he was but there was absolutely no ki coming from the person. She felt his head began to lower to her ear when he whispered in the most evil and disgusting way.
"To destroy you and all that you know."
At that moment he threw her off but Pan caught herself before she could fall and he had the advantage. She flipped back, now in the appropriate position for a fight and looked at him. That didn't do much, for an odd reason his whole body looked like a dark silhouette. The only distinctive things she could she were his outlines and blood-red eyes. He didn't look extremely muscular but that was obviously a disguise because she knew first-hand his strength now. He looked bald except for what she thought was two small locks of hair in his face. He turned his head slightly to the side as he gave an evil sneer showing crystal-white fangs. With his movement Pan now saw that the back of his head had three pieces of pointy skin that sloped down and connected together at the tips near the end of his back. She ended her observations to glare back at her attacker. She gritted her teeth in rage as she thought at how helpless she was when he grabbed her.
"Alright, punk! Who the heck are you and why do you want to destroy the Earth!"
The being gave an evil laugh but then stopped, cocking his head to the side.
"Who says I want to destroy this stupid planet?"
Pan became confused wondering what else he would want.
He continued, "I want control."
"Control?" His talk was not helping to clear things up for her right now.
"But the only way I can have it is by destroying you and your stupid friends!!!"
With that the being charged at Pan with such an intense force Pan could feel it. She saw him coming and just barely got out of the way. She immediately turned around to make sure she wasn't caught off-guard but he was already gone. She frantically tried to find him finally realizing the best attack point for an unseen enemy. At that moment she quickly ducked just in time to miss a well-powered punch towards her head. She spun around with a roundhouse kick but he disappeared the second she turned her head. When she realized her foot had contacted only with air she tried to find the being's ki again. Instead of finding his ki though, she found out the hard way where he was when she felt his fist contact with her back as she flew upwards into the sky. With incredible speed, he flew on top of her and rammed her head with cuffed hands making her shoot down to the ground faster than she flew up. In seconds she hit the ground with such force that it caused a crater a mile deep. Strangely, Pan felt no pain in her body when she opened her eyes but found that she couldn't move at all instead. She nervously looked up to find the dark figure floating in the center of the hole. He looked at her with an evil intent and then moved his hands towards each other, letting all his fingertips being the only contact with each other. Slowly, a red and teal energy sphere started to form in front of his hands. Pan gazed at the ball with great fear. Although she still couldn't sense anything, she knew the growing circle was too powerful for her to survive any contact. Meanwhile, the ki ball had reached the figure's desired size that was about half his body. He gave another disgusting sneer and let out a loud, uncontrollable, laugh as he let his hands flatten against each other. At that moment the sphere of blood and tears shot forward towards Pan. Her eyes widened as she felt death coming to her and she let out a devastating scream as the horrible energy became all she could see…
"Aaaaaahhh!"
Pan shot up until she was kneeling, holding her chest to herself. She was in a cold sweat. She slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in her room again. She looked around to make sure and fell back onto her bed, panting when she confirmed where she was. She still felt that horrible feeling she had just had a few seconds ago in her dream.
"Where did that come from?" she asked herself.
She was a little scared or at least worried, she didn't even know which one was her condition right now.
Was that the person the other one was talking about? It had to be.
"He was so strong."
She paused to remember the encounter and quickly closed her eyes to try and forget. She opened them again and stared out the window to look at the still dark sky, where the sun was still missing. She got up and walked over to her small balcony, crossing her arms when she stopped at the rail.
"There's no way I can go back to sleep…" She turned and looked at her closed door soon returning her gaze back to the stars. " If they didn't come over here after my scream then they're still asleep…I'll be back before they can worry about me anyways."
With that Pan stepped onto the railing and leapt into the air to go to her secret, peaceful area in the forest.
It took ten minutes of flight before Pan could get to the landing spot. It was actually halfway away from the actual entrance but Pan knew this. She never landed at the actual spot so that if anyone were to be following her, they still wouldn't find out her secret getaway. Pan looked around to make sure no one was around and after making sure of this; she sped away into another direction. After only 30 seconds of running she skidded to a stop at the top of a trench. She looked down and then jumped into it. Sliding down the rocky walls of the slope, she swerved and jumped over and around objects looking like a surfer in the water. The large stones were beginning to become smaller and the slope smoother. When this change started Pan slowed to a stop perfectly coming to a halt at the bottom of the nature made slide. There was absolutely nothing there except for a cave so small that you could easily see the end of it. Pan just smiled and walked inside. She stopped at the end of the cave where a large puddle-looking piece of water lay. She checked the area once more for any followers and then took a deep breath as she dove into the puddle. It was actually a well-disguised underwater channel. She swam like a dolphin through the narrow tunnel, sharp turns and drops everywhere. Finally, after traveling through a maze for about 2 minutes, it comes to what seems a dead end. Pan knows better and just stops for a moment to look at the wall, then backs up a few feet. As she got to her desired distance away she flew like a torpedo head-on into the wall. In less than a second she flew out of the long channel, covered in wet dirt. She continues forward into a large and strong waterfall, cleaning her completely like nothing ever happened. When she finally got out of the falling water she looked back to smile as the wall behind the waterfall seemed to ooze back over the hole she had just made, stopping the water that had surged out when Pan created the opening. The puddle was actually an entryway to a long underwater maze that continued for at least a mile or two underground, going down, up and straight. At the end, the wall was there to make anyone that didn't know about this place, to go and turn back when they thought it was a dead end. But in actuality, there was a strong, thick wall of rock there, but it had a small hole in it and the outside of the wall was covered in mud. So, the hole would look like it didn't exist, but for those who knew, only Pan, when you continued through the right spot, you would exit the tunnel and the outer wall would drop mud back over the opening. And, as if the Earth had a mind of its own, there was a giant waterfall right after it to wash away the mud from you.
Pan turned to look around at her spot of relaxation. She loved this place so. There was green grass everywhere, and a small pool where the waterfall fell. The waterfall came from the rocky wall, it's main source a giant lake from above. The water from it was crystal clear. The spray from the gigantic thing was what probably kept the grass such a rich green. The whole area was covered in mist near the ground also keeping the grass just a little wet with dew. Of course this made it all the more refreshing to just lie down in it. Near the pool were about three or four palm trees; how they got there is still unknown. Pan looked up to gaze at the stars in their splendor. Although the hideout was some depth underground, it had an opening in the ceiling allowing you to stare at the sky at any time. It was very strange how this thing worked, really. The opening was filled with more crystal clear water, so that was probably the same lake at the surface. But, it didn't flood the paradise beneath it because at what was supposed to be the lake floor was a clear bottom made of crystal. Actually, the walls encasing the place all had pieces of crystals and other valuable minerals stuck in it, giving the area a wonderful shine. Pan never took them out to sell; they made the place look just too beautiful. Anyways, although the water was crystal clear, and you could see the sky perfectly from below, you could see nothing from the surface, no matter how sharp your eyes were. From above, the only thing you could see was darkness. Also, you couldn't try to find the secret underground "world" from swimming to the bottom either. All the creatures in the water always covered the floor with themselves when someone tried to come near, making the intruder think there was nothing there. That was the only time you couldn't see the sky. There was no objection, this just had to be the best place in the world to just chill out and forget all your problems. Pan gave a large sigh as she considered all this and lay down on the wet grass near the pool, allowing her bare feet to hang in the water.
She stared at the sky through the crystal clear lake and began to think more about the stars. She closed her eyes.
"Grandpa, which one are you?"
She opened her eyes again with a much softer look in them. She slowly observed each star to try and sense at least a bit of his presence in any of them. Nothing. Once again she sighed.
I didn't think I would sense him. She paused for a second. "But it would have been nice if I did."
Her eyes began to slowly water. Pan immediately wiped her face before the tears could come out. She lay back down on the grass and picked out a single blade to play with. She moved the piece of grass between her fingers staring right through it. Pan left the matter with her grandfather behind and began to concentrate on her meetings with the pure being. She remembered her first three dreams with him.
"At the end, he…" Pan looked up from the grass she held. "He kissed me." Pan let her fingers softly touch her lips as she remembered this.
"But, why? …Wait!" Pan shot up to sit.
"After all these recent meets, why haven't I asked him that? Stupid!" Pan slapped herself on her forehead, but not enough to do any damage. The flat hand soon converted to two fingers rubbing her head, looking like a headache was coming on.
"Oh well. Can't start hating myself right now, today's going to be the start of a tough year. I need to be in top shape for my training."
With that Pan jumped to her feet with a smirk on her face.
"I have to start preparing myself."
Pan now walked to the center of the hideout and stopped. She looked at the gems on the wall and then planted her feet together, she closed her eyes and crossed her arms. She was in meditation.
This continued for about half an hour, she was perfectly still the whole time with the exception of a few jerks of her eyebrows. Finally, she opened her eyes with a glare and got into a stance. It wasn't a fighting stance though, at least, not exactly. She spread her feet apart until she was halfway through a split. Then she had her left arm over her face in a blocking position while the other was to her side looking as if it were waiting to attack. This position was held for only a few seconds though because Pan quickly leapt out of it. She landed with one foot on the ground leaving the other one out in front of her leaving a few degrees of her knee bent. Now she had her left arm to her side waiting while her right was halfway in front of her with her middle knuckle out. She stared at the walls once more but then started up a full kata with no breaks anymore. Pan gracefully moved her body, arms, and legs in beautiful motions. She performed punches, kicks, and various other physical moves with the same beauty and reflexes. Her dance-like movements would bring her all over the area. Leaving her jumping through the water-filled pond to rickashaing from wall to wall. At one time she began flipping without her hands, zigzagging back and forth through the waterfall. Her cat-like movements continued for hours until finally, the sky began to brighten as the sun started to rise. Pan stopped in the middle of a flip, leaving her hanging upside down in the air, to notice the sky. Still floating, she brought herself right side up now sitting Indian style. Sweating a little bit, she let herself come back to the ground. She looked around her paradise again, breathed in the wonderful fragrance it exerted, and gave a long, relaxed sigh. Smiling now she walked over to the edge of the pond, splashed her face with some water, and shot herself forward into the hole again.
Going against the current now that the hole was temporarily open, Pan used just a little more strength to bring herself through the twists and turns that she had just went through a few hours ago. She didn't go too fast though. She only went fast enough to still let the water caress her body as she sped through it. She let the soft water glide through every strand of her hair like a gentle hand. Unfortunately, after what seemed like no time at all, she reached the puddle entrance. She pulled herself out just when the sky began to turn pink. Her father was going to wake up soon. Pan powered up a small white aura around her that dried her entirely and shot herself out of the cave and up the trench. She continued up into the air until she met the clouds where she began starting in the direction of home. She sped back and forth through the clouds yelling with delight and joy until she had a large amount of puff stuck onto her. She smiled and sped faster ahead into a clearing in the sky. She made twirls and quick movements throughout this space and then made a final flip to stop and look back on her masterpiece. In the once large empty sky was now a long twisting dragon of clouds. With a playful feeling inside of her she continued home wishing she could see the faces of the little kids who saw that in the sky later on. It wasn't long before she saw her balcony again. And, it wasn't long before she also saw her father standing there as well. A small quick feeling of trouble came into her but then disappeared as she remembered that she hadn't done anything really wrong.
Half a mile away now, Gohan turned his head in Pan's direction to see her. She flashed herself onto the balcony in front of Gohan, giving him a smile.
"Where have you been?" he asked her.
Pan quickly thought. "Oh, I couldn't sleep so I went out to relax and to meditate."
"Ah, I see. You're really excited about the training, huh?"
"You bet."
Gohan gave an amused grunt and looked at the sky. "Well, do you think you've had enough meditation?"
"Um, some more wouldn't hurt… Why?"
"I need to pick something up from Bulma's. Of course, it's way too early to do that now. I was thinking you and I could meditate together to get our minds hyped up at the least until we go."
"Sure!"
"Alright. Let's get washed up and eat first. Oh, and by the way. Next time you you're about to go somewhere, would you mind at least leaving a note?"
" Oh, sorry."
He left her room to go to his own and Pan left to the bath. They finished quickly and left their rooms and baths to find, actually smell, that Videl had already started cooking breakfast.
The two saiyans literally floated down to the wonderful aroma of a large breakfast awaiting their arrival to the huge stomachs of some very hungry hybrids. The two of them peeked their heads into the doorway. Videl quickly turned around in an apron.
"Yes, all the food is ready."
Her daughter jumped to the table gulfing down food and Gohan swiftly kissed his wife and did the same. Videl just sighed with a smile, shaking her head.
"Saiyans, the bottomless pits."
Her two loved ones didn't hear a word that she had said or noticed her sitting down with her plate. She quietly ate while the two saiyans continued with their feast. Soon, half of the table was filled with dirty plates and three empty syrup bottles fell to the floor. Videl dabbed her lips with a napkin and got up and walked to the sink. Gohan and Pan finished their eating at that moment and laid back in their chairs patting their stomachs.
"Aaah. That was wonderful Videl."
"Yeah, mom. A great start for the day."
"Why thank you. Now I have to clean all these dishes."
"Don't worry about that Videl. Me and Pan will take care of it."
"We will?" Pan asked nervously.
Gohan chuckled. "It won't be hard Pan. Just lift them up with your ki."
Pan did as she was told and held out her arms causing all the plates to rise in the air.
"Good. Now move them over the sink."
Pan did so and Gohan directed his own arms to the water-filled sink. Videl moved out of the way as she saw the soapy water began to swirl. At that moment Gohan quickly pointed his two forefingers upward and all the water hit the dishes with such a great force that all the dirt was thrown off. Gohan then concentrated a very small amount of warm energy onto his hands. The plates copied this action and were also surrounded with a pale red aura. The water from all of them immediately evaporated.
"Alright, now Pan put them all in their places."
Pan moved her fingers so that each plate, bowl, and utensil retreated to their own spot in the cabinets and drawers.
"See. All done."
"I wish I knew that trick last night." Pan said.
Videl gave both of them a kiss and hug. "Oh thank you, you two are the sweetest. And Gohan," her husband put his attention to her. "I want you to teach me that when you get back tomorrow, okay?" Gohan simply nodded his head.
Gohan's eyed popped up when he remembered that he had to do something. He looked at his watch and saw it was later than he thought. He turned to Pan again.
"Pan, I guess we'll have to meditate after my pick-up. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure!" Just then, the image of an angry Vegeta charging at her came into her mind. Pan nervously gave their family grin, scratching her head. "Haha. On second thought, I think I'll have to pass up on that offer, dad. I got to uh, do some…really important stuff!" With that she ran back up the stairs to her room.
*sweat drops form on Gohan and Videl.*
"That girl is crazy."
"Um, well I'm going to go ahead to Bulma's and be right back. See you." Gohan kissed his wife and flew out the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CAPSULE CORP.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trunks, I sense an identity advancing towards the premises."
Trunks looks up from some papers to look at the floating round robot. He then concentrates on the ki coming he then smiles.
"Analyzing energy frequencies…it is Son Gohan."
Trunks puts down his papers and walks towards the door to greet his friend. Trunks opens the door right when Gohan touches the ground.
"Hi, Gohan. What brings you to my humble abode?"
"Hello, Trunks. Your mother has something for me."
"Oh! That's right! You and Pan are leaving to go train today. Come on in."
Gohan follows the purple-haired saiyan down many long corridors until they reach a large double door with a sign reading: "Laboratory". A laser camera scans the two, beeps, and then opens the doors. The room is filled with tons of machinery and uncompleted robots. Scraps of metal are scattered across the floor.
"Thanks, mom!" Gohan turns his head to see Bra skid to a stop right in front of him.
"Oh, sorry Gohan. I just saw you."
Gohan's eyes widen as he looks at the blue-haired girl. Bra was in saiyan armor, identical to the one that Vegeta used to wear during the Cell Games. The only difference was that her gloves ended at her knuckles leaving her fingers open.
"Bra?"
Bra cocks her head to the side in confusion letting her ponytail hang beside her face.
"What are you doing wearing armor?"
"Oh! That's why you're looking at me strange. You really want to know why?" she asked with a smirk.
"Bra, just tell him." Trunks told her, rolling his eyes.
"Trunks you're no fun!" she turned perky again. "Well, I'm going to start training!"
"Whaaat!!" Gohan nearly jumped at this and then turned to Bulma, knowing full and well that it was because of her that the girl hadn't started before.
Bulma simply smiled and cleared things up for him. "We talked it over a good long while last night and to make a long story short, I agreed to let her train and we convinced Vegeta to train her."
"Yeah, and I start today!"
"Wow. That's great, ironic too. Pan and I are also starting our training today. Of course, she already told you yesterday right?"
"Yeah, she did. But don't tell her about my training yet. I want to surprise her tomorrow."
"Bra! Get over here now! We've already wasted enough time!" Vegeta's voice echoed through the halls.
"Coming! We'll gotta go, see ya!"
Bra ran off towards the gravity room while Trunks yelled after her, "Hope you know that just because you're daddy's little girl doesn't mean he'll take it easy on you!"
"Good! I don't want him to!"
"Tsk, tsk. She has no idea how hard it's going to be."
"Trunks, leave her be."
Trunks put his arms up in defense. "Hey, I'm just trying to tell her the truth."
"Whatever. Just give me that box over there."
Trunks retrieves a white rectangular box from a shelf across from him and then places it on the table in front of his mother with Gohan close behind. Bulma opens the box and pulls out its contents. She reveals two pieces of saiyan uniform and their armors. The larger one was black while the smaller was the original blue color. Both of the armors had no shoulder pads but the smaller uniform's glove was similar to Bra's except that this one had half of he fingers covered with the others left open like a billard player's glove.
"Here they are Gohan. Your two saiyan armors."
Gohan took them from Bulma and looked them over. "They're perfect Bulma. Thank you very much."
"Of course."
"Well, anyways, I should get going, me and Pan have still got some things to do." He started to leave.
"Sure. See you tomorrow then. Or should I say in a year?" Bulma ended in a tiny laugh. Gohan just smiled back and left the lab.
"Good luck Gohan!" Trunks yelled at his older friend.
Gohan simply gave him a victory sign as he disappeared from view.
Back at Gohan's home, Videl quietly creeps up the stairs so as not to be detected. She slowly and carefully walks to her daughter's room and opens the door, peeking inside. Pan is laying on top of her bed, with her CD player headphones on, humming to a Linkin Park track. Videl gives a smug smile and casually walks over to her daughter's side. She taps Pan's shoulder and crosses her arms. Pan is still singing along with the song as she opens her eyes to her mother. When she finally realizes who she's looking at she yelps and shoots up in a sitting position. Videl pulls off her headphones and hangs them in the air.
"Is this your really important, stuff?" Pan gives a stupid grin once again and nervously laughs.
"I guess so. So what was your real reason for changing your mind with your father?"
"Oh, nothing."
Videl gives her the dreaded mother's glare telling her that not cooperating will end in bad results. Pan swallows hard and then lowers her head slightly, poking her index fingers together.
"Actually, I kind of got Vegeta mad."
Videl's expression softens. "Well, that's not too hard to do." She changes her face again now giving Pan a skeptical look. "But what exactly did you do?" Pan looks at her mother but decides to just answer before she gets another glare.
"I was hungry and…I took a sandwich that he had made." She raises her head to her mother to find that she now has an unbelieving look. After a couple seconds of this Videl finally breaks out of her trance and half-yells, half-laughs.
"Are you crazy! Stealing food from another saiyan. And of all the saiyans here you had to pick Vegeta?!" Videl closes her eyes and rubs her temples.
"You really are crazy." She turns to leave the room.
A little confused, Pan decides to press her luck. "That's it?"
"Yes. Of course, you and I both know that Vegeta will not leave you at peace until he gets you back. So, good luck keeping your skin."
"Gee, mom. You could at least sound like you care."
"Well, that was pretty stupid of you anyways." With that she leaves the room.
"Harsh…Hey! She's still got my headphones! Mom!" Pan runs out the room after her mother.
Gohan finishes his trip back as he sees the clearing of his home below him. He drops and touches ground with the grass. He looks at his watch to see that it's already past 8 am.
"Better start getting ready." He continues into his house and opens the door to find his daughter lying on the couch listening to a CD. He moves over to look down on her and asks when she opens her eyes.
"You done with your stuff?"
She simply nods her head and continues humming again until she notices the long white box in his arms. She takes off her headphones and asks.
"What's that?"
"What's what?" Videl asks as she enters the room with the others.
Gohan beams a smile and opens the box for them to see. "See for yourselves."
The two females peer into the box and both take out a piece of shiny, smooth clothing.
"And this is?" Pan still asks as she looks over the pieces.
Gohan takes the black piece from Videl and explains. "These, my loves, are saiyan uniforms."
The mother and daughter still have confused faces causing Gohan to continue.
"I already told you two about the Planet Vegeta, right? Well, during that time, all the saiyans wore these armors. They're extremely flexible, and allowed the saiyans all the movement that they wanted. Letting them not have any trouble fighting. Also, they extended to any size, no matter how great. They even stretched large enough so that when the saiyans transformed into ozaarus, they would still be clothed."
"They grow that much?!" Pan yelled.
"Yes." Gohan replied. "Not only that, but they also provide a good amount of protection from attacks, even energy ones." He held up the armored piece to further show what he meant.
"And you know what else, Pan?"
She waited for him to continue.
"I got these from Bulma for you and me to train in."
"Really?!"
"Yup. The blue one's yours." Pan quickly gathered up her uniform and ran upstairs.
"I'm going to put them on right now!" she called before she slammed the door.
Gohan smiled and went to Videl and his room to change into his own armor. Videl followed him and plopped herself on top of their bed relaxing. It wasn't for long though since just a few seconds later she heard Gohan say, "So, what do you think?"
She sat up to look at him and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. The black portion of the uniform was tightly fitted around his body. Clearly showing how perfect his muscles were and how built he was. She finally came out of her trance but with still wide eyes she said,
"Dang, you look fine."
Gohan smirked. "You really think so?"
Oh, hell yeah you look fine. Videl thought with another smirk.
"Wow! These are great!" Pan yelled from the other room.
Videl nodded over to the door and the two went to see their daughter's new uniform. Both stopped in their tracks when they left the door and saw Pan standing in the hallway. Videl's eyes were wide again, just not as much as they were when she saw Gohan. Of course, Gohan was a different story. His eyes were huge and showed disbelief, his jaw was also open. Pan stood there with a wide smile and hands on her hips showing herself off to her parents. The blue uniform was also tightly wrapped around her body, catching every curve and slope on her.
"Wow, Pan. You look good." Videl commented.
"Thanks, Mom. I really like it."
Gohan stood up straight again and with a more serious face. "Maybe I should have asked Bulma to make our regular baggy uniforms instead."
"Oh, Gohan!" Videl laughed and playfully slapped him on the face.
He turned to her and sighed. "You look good, Pan. Now let's use the rest of this time to get ourselves hyped up."
"Right. See you later Mom."
"Bye Videl. We'll see you in about three hours or less."
"Alright you two. Train hard." She waved them off as they flew into the sky and disappeared.
Most of the trip was made in silence. It's not like they didn't want to talk to each other. It was just that they were both in their separate thoughts at the moment. Pan was using this short time to try again at figuring out what the heck was going on. How her dreams were related, how this possible-saiyan knew what he knew, how long it would take this new enemy to get to Earth, and how they were ever going to defeat him. There was also one other thought on her mind, and it was in a completely different category then the others. In almost all of her dreams with him, the being acted so loving towards her, so romantic. Pan unconsciously blushed when she thought of this. The best part though, was in her first three dreams with him. At the end, he always kissed her. Pan couldn't help it. She totally forgot where she was and blushed even harder, beamed a smile, sighed, and zoned out completely in her thoughts. Soon, she began to twirl in the sky, flying side to side in a swaying motion.
Gohan though, was in a different mood. Recently, he had been having a strange feeling in him. A gut feeling that something was going to happen. Something bad. He knew long ago to trust these feelings, especially when it was telling him that something was wrong.
Why does something always have to happen to Earth? Does this planet have a sign or something telling evil to come terrorize it?
He would have to wait until he saw Dende to ask the young guardian if he had felt it too. If he was right, then this father-daughter training was going to be of good use. It also meant that there wasn't going to be too much time for fun and games either. Gohan sighed in frustration. He would have to forget about this until later. He needed to clear his mind now if he wanted to have every advantage against his daughter in a couple of minutes. He finally turned to Pan after this long silence to find a strange sight.
"Pan?"
"Huh?"
Pan snapped out of her daydreaming when she heard a voice. She turned to its source only to find her father staring at her with a confused look on his face. It was then that she remembered that she wasn't alone this whole time she was fantasying.
"Eeep!"
Gohan was thrown aback at this sudden squeal while Pan quickly snapped her head in the other direction trying to hide her furiously blushing face.
Was I thinking out loud that whole time? Oh Dende, please say I wasn't.
"Are you okay?"
Pan quickly turned back to her father nervously. "Of course I am! What'd make you think something was wrong? I'm perfectly fine!" She replied a little to fast.
"Right."
"Um dad?"
"Yes?"
"Did you hear anything earlier?" Pan began getting redder.
"No. Why? Were you talking to me?"
"No! Just asking!" she sighed in relief and her blush faded.
Gohan gave her another strange look but shook it off. He then let his aura flare lightly around him. Pan saw this and waited for him to say something.
"Let's go. There's our destination."
Gohan shot himself forward into a field close ahead and Pan followed.
