Help me... my disclaimers scream and cry out for attention.Now,I wouldn't write a disclaimer for no reason,now would I?Yes,Akira owns the original,and yes,Funi fudged it up,lol.I'll be using actual bad words in this chapter,I believe,so if you arent okay with that (blows raspberry at the absurd thought) the feel free to skip out on this chapter.I warn you though,might be another day before I write anothr chapter...
"Pan honey!Phone for you!" "Thanks Bulma," smiled Pan. "Aw honey,you look awful!Late night?" Pan only nodded,and Bulma sympathized. "Who fell asleep first?" "Bra," "Thought so," nodded Bulma,handing over the cell. 'What is it with Cells these days?' mused Pan as she flipped it open and grumbled 'Hello'.
"Pan honey,something-came up-Gohan stop crying!" "But I want to see my daughter off to college!It is my paternal right!" "Ugh,well anyways,Pan!We aren't going to be able to see you off!We will do everything we can from over here though,okay?" "By the way,WHAT,exactly,came up?" "Gohan and I have been called in on a site.They need us to research something,I have no idea why it is so important that they are making us miss our one and only daughters going away to college party,but I promise we will call you at least once a year,if not once a month,okay sweety?" "Okay...mom...but,how long will you be gone," slowly asked Pan. She held her breath for the answer. "About two months,TOPS.Then we come home to an empty house."
Pan thought she heard sniffling on the other end of the phone.She smiled.
"Mom,it's not like I'm gonna die or anything!I'm going away to college,and I promise I'll come back when school is officially over.OFFICIALLY,as in all my four years of college,alright?Don't blow a casket if I don't visit in the summer,okay?"
Videl seemed indignant on the other end,but Pan stood her ground. "I don't think grampa Hercule would appreciate me draining his account for first class air travel every summer and winter," joked Pan. Videl gave a weak laugh that sounded more like tears. "Listen honey,we're boarding right about now,maybe I'll call you when we get there,okay?I've already arranged it with Bulma,you're staying with the Briefs,and so is Goten,alright?" "Uh huh," answered Pan mechanically.
They were leaving her here.They weren't going to see her off to America,to college. It was almost depressing,really.She had really hoped that they would make it,but she supposed this was going to happen and she should have expected it.
"Okay sweety,I've gotta go,your father is crying again!Bye honey!" "Bye mo-"
Videl hung up.
Pan held the phone away from her ear,looking at the little communications device in shock. She didn't want to do anything emotional in front of Bulma,but,
'Damn these tears!' she thought,as her eyes began to fill.
She looked at a shocked Bulma,who had her mouth open,and murmured,"I gotta go," before running back up the stairs,rivers running down her face.
Tip toe-ing into Bras room,she searched under the blue haired girls bed before coming up with a black notebook sporting red and purple swirls on the cover,one of which spelled out 'Pan' in delicate cursive.
Taking the booklet,she ran out of the room and climbed many stairways,eventually bursting out of a large oak door and onto a rather secret balcony.As far as she knew,only Bulma knew of this place. Pan didn't doubt that Bra knew of the place as well,but Bra was such a blabber mouth that she wondered if she knew about this place at all.
At most,Pan came here to write and think.
Bra kept a 'back up diary' for Pan at her house.She insisted that Pan print out the pages of her actual diary and place them in the black one,so that she could continue where she left off.They'd done this when they were about nine,and Pan couldn't help but think about how stupid she was,trusting Bra with such precious cargo.Bra could keep a secret,no doubt. As long as they were her own....
Pan sat down,took a strange, red pen-like structure out of her back pocket,opened the notebook onto her knees and began writing. She told the book of her heart,how she didn't want to be in love,and all of the things she was so scared of. She would admit her fears to none but these sacred pages,and a few had been irrational,like her parents not loving her. She was sure,now,that her parents deeply cared about her,and would do nothing to hurt her,physically or emotionally,on purpose.
She was afraid that she wasn't worthy to be called a saiyan,being a quarter and all,but there was no way in hell that she would tell anyone,least of all Vegeta,who seemed to be pretty sharp in all aspects these days.
She wrote of her grandfather,a great man,a kind man,a man who had the heart of a child,which was just as golden.The fighter that everyone wished they could be,the very epitome of what a man should be...
'Except for ignorant,maybe.' Pan smiled at her thought.
No one could compare to Goku.
'Ojii san,where are you?' she thought sadly,raising her face to the brightened sky. Somewhere past the clouds,a somewhat saddened Goku looked down on his grand daughter,wishing he could be there,although he couldn't.
'I am such a weakling,' thought Pan,as she spotted a cd player in the corner of the square cement balcony. She crawled over and pressed 'play' after seeing that it held a cd inside.Pan smiled as she heard 'You'll be in my heart' from Tarzan play. "I am so stupid!" she laughed. "How could I listen to this junk?!" she thought aloud,turning off the player.
Feeling up to writing again,Pan wrote a poem in her little black book,all the while thinking of her mixed feelings. ~~ You'll never know how much I care for you And I'll admit my feelings too I'd watch you watch the angels sing in the heavens above But don't you think it goes a little far to say 'love?'
I like you,I need you,I've longed for you from afar But love,you are so far,like a distant star I can't help the way I feel,maybe I don't feel at all How should I know how to answer when love comes to call?
If I could live to be a hundred I would never be alive without you there's no life,I'm dead Looks like I'll have to take the dive
A dive into the heart I'm falling,I'm plunging and searching for your soul I might not make it out of here A dive into the heart I carry the flame,oh searching,searching to find my heart again~~~
Pan ended her new 'song' there.She couldn't think of what to add,and besides that,she thought she'd heard foot steps.
Turning the pages as quicly as possible,she wrote a brief inscription in a random page:
~~"Bra has a crush on Goten, Marrons uncle likes her....
Seventeen and Bra-ah,sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-....~~
Pan stopped right there and thought about what she was writing She wrinkled her nose when she realized that she was actually writing the truth.Marrons uncle and Bra kissing?Yikes! If seventeen would only tell her how he felt about her... Pan added to the random page:
~~Seventeen has feelings?! This is a scientific breakthrough,and I,Pan Son,take full credit for the discovery!!~~
Pan snickered at her stupid joke,knowing Bra would probably both laugh at the light joke and then crush her for it.If she read it,that was... She wrote on:
~~Eeeewww!Juu-chan likes Bra! Well well well,what do you think that says about YOUR personality,Juunana? I'm not even gonna ask!~~
Pan knew she was being childish,but she couldn't help it. She personally felt like her diary could hear everything,and the only way it could tell anyone was if anyone opened it and read the sacred treasure within. Sighing,Pan got up and made her way through the maze of staircases and back to Bras room,where the princess of the saiyan race and CC was still sawing logs...
Pan laughed when she realized Bra really was out cold.
"Only you Bra.Only you!"
"I hope he likes me too.." murmured Bra.
Now Pan was interested.Out of nowhere,she whipped out a camcorder,and closed up on Bras' face,her mouth moving visibly.
"Dende,Juu-chan is hot!Why didnt you tell me you had an uncle too,Marr...*snore* Goten is cute,but Juunanagou is..."
Pan snickered as Bra made a strange sound that she supposed was a sleepers version of the wolf whistle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P POV
It was all I could do to keep from busting up laughing right then and there. So Bra DID like Juu chan!Maybe there was hope after all! Me and Trunks?We'll never be,but at least Juu chan is ageless.Him and Bra would be perfect!!
I figure Bra's already told ole boxer boy that I had a crush on him since I was,what ?Four? Pathetic,ain't it? In any case,since she told,so will I.But first....I'm just a little curious...
I poked Bra,but all she did was slap at me and say,' shoo fly,can't you see Juu chan is looking RIGHT at me??Or have you not fashion sense enough to know that you should be out of the picture?'
Holy crap,I didn't think Bra would be so talkative in her sleep!But still,I was curious.
"Pan is hot too,I wonder what she would do if I told her how felt about her?"
I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard that,my face had been so close to Bra's because of the camera and all,but hearing that freaked me out...
Of course I punched her like crazy for playing such a stupid prank. She opened her eyes and scared the shit out of me,and burst out laughing when she saw how spooked I was.
"You really don't know when to quit,do ya Panny?" "Don't call me that,and since when have YOU been lesbo?" Bra shrugged."Couple years," was her casual response. Pans eyes narrowed in dissertion. "You were just screwing with me,weren't you?" "The entire time."
We walked out of that room sometime around noon bruised badly,but with grins on our faces.I didn't know what the time was,I had broken her digital alarm clock,and that's when Bra practically went super saiyan on me and beat the shit out of me.
Of course,No one but my diary,me,and Bra will know of this little fiasco,but I don't think I'd ever seen Vegeta look so worried than when we walked down those stairs together,bruised to perfection.We were still laughing,even when Trunks passed us by,staring at us the entire time.
I actually didn't care for once,I just kept right on laughing.
I didn't realize until much later that Vegeta had stared at us in shock,not entirely horror,and Trunks because he was perv.
We had walked down practically in our underwear.Leave it to Trunks to make a fool out of me!!
Upon coming back to the kitchen,Trunks seemed to look at me in a whole new light.
"Pan,I want to congratulate you," he said,holding out his hand as if to shake mine,and continued, "I had never wanted to be with you so badly than when I saw you alomst naked!"
I slapped him and Bra convinced Vegeta-sensei to throw Trunks out of the house for a day.
Sure didn't help me any,seeing as he left with a smile on his face...
He is a perverted freak,but he has a nice smile,I'll give him that. Why must you be such a...etchii...president!!?!??!
~~
Short,of course.I wrote this in the span of about two hours,and was having mild writers blcok while doing so.Don't worry,this story DOES have a basic plot,but it's probably gonna turn angsty when the four years start...
Reviewsare the nicest gift you authors can give me,so give me plenty of reviews,please!?!
