Last time:
(Gohan's p.o.v)
I sniffle a bit myself as I rub her back. "Shh… You never know. We could be back here in a couple months or a year. Please, don't cry, baby." For the first time in 6 years, I carried my daughter to her room and tucked her into bed.
I stayed with her until she fell asleep. I remember when she was younger; she wouldn't want me to leave her until she was asleep. Now is a time for her to act the age she should and this time, I'm glad that she isn't acting so old. I kiss her on the forehead and get up, exiting her room silently but leaving a crack open so that the hallway lights could be her night-light.

Chapter 4: The Bearer of Bad News
*~(^-^)~*
I sit down on the highest stair as I listen to Uub talk to my Dad about his last wrestling match in the living room. I hug my knees and lay my chin on top of them as I think of a way to tell Uubu about the move. I can't help but think about the last time I tried to tell him.
-flash back-
3 days ago
I hear the phone ring. I open my eyes and sit up, wiping the fresh tears off my face. I put my tissue down and answer the phone. "Hello?" I sigh when I realize that my voice sounds so different. He'd know right away.
"Pan? This is Uub. What's up?"
I guess I expected too much from him. My eyes begin to water so I just stay silent, not wanting him to know. I bite my lip down hard to control my sobs.
"Pan? Do you want to talk?"
I don't know what to say. "No, not really," I frown. I don't feel really feel like talking.
"Umm.. oh, then, I'll be talking to you tomorrow?"
I just shake my head and look down, "I don't think we'll be talking for a while."
"Why not? What happened? What-" I just hang up the phone. I can't handle this.
The phone rings again. I pick it up. "What's wrong? Is it me?"
My eyes water once again and I silently sob while I whisper, "No."
"Then what's wrong?" I still stay silent. What am I supposed to say? "Well, I guess I'll talk to you later then."
"I'm-"
"Bye."
I sit there, my eyes wide. He hung up.. I tried to call him again and again. But no answer.
-end-
I grip onto my pants to try to stop the tears. Let them go away, please. I quickly get up and bite my lower lip as I walk downstairs. Just say it quick and get it over with.
When I reach the living room, I force a smile and walk right in. I bite my lip when I see Uubu turn his head to look at me. "Hey there," he stands up and I just sigh when he turns around to shake hands with my Dad.
My hands ball up to a fist and I feel my nails dig into my palms. Don't cry.. Don't cry.. I can't help but turn around and walk out the door, not even waiting for Uub.
I sit underneath our tree and just wait for him. Dende, Pan! Be strong! I hear his footsteps as I close my eyes.
"Hey, why'd you run off like that?" I just frown and open my eyes, letting him see how sad I am. He touches my face and says, "What's wrong? You're not talking."
My eyes widen and I hit him real hard on the chest. "Is that the only reason why you believe so?!" MY face is wet from tears as I cry to him, "Huh, Uubu?" I keep hitting. "How can you say that?!" I continually sob while I keep pounding his chest as he holds me back by the shoulders. I can't help but scream, "Dende, Uubu!! How-" I just had to stop there. I can only cry now.
He pulls me in close now and hugs me tightly. He whispers to me, "what happened?" I just shake my head and cry harder. I don't care who can hear me now. "Tell me, what's wrong?"
I move back and lift my head, I sniffle and wipe my tears. "I'm moving."
*~(^-^)~*
"Moving? Where at? Down the block?" I can't help but smile a bit. I didn't know she's a drama queen.
"No, you dumbass! Tokyo.." My face pales and I slowly let go of her. I just stare at her and she knows how I feel. "I know, my Dad's being transferred."
I just freeze. What am I supposed to say? "I.. Panny, what do we do?" I just let out a heavy sigh and look down. I feel like a failure.
"I honestly don't know." I tried to think and right when I did, something came to my mind. I began to smile. When she notices, she looks at me as if I'm crazy. "What-"
"Don't worry, Panny. I"ll come to you." I just kiss her quick on the lips and run off home. I should start studying.
*~(^-^)~*
I just watch him with the thoughts of being with someone else stuck in my head. My eyes began to water when I realized something. He really is coming to me. I get up, wipe my tears, and walk back inside the house.
I sit down on the couch and sigh. This is going to be so hard. My Dad walks in and sits down next to me. He touches my knee and looks at me. "Panny, you should start packing."
I just look at him confused, "Wh-"
"We're moving in two weeks." He then gets up and walks out. I sit here, staring at Dende only knows what while all of this new information sinks in. TWO WEEKS?! I quickly run upstairs and into my room, slamming the door as I walk in. ONLY TWO WEEKS? Atleast school will be done by then. I just frown and sigh. I sit on my bed and slump forward as I think about all the people I'll miss here. My friends, my family, my teachers, my gym, my Uubu.. I cover my face. Uubu. Uubu! I need to tell Uubu! I quickly reach for my phone and dial one. Thank Dende for speed dialing! I hold the phone up to my ear with my right hand. I hear the phone ring.
"Hello?" It's Uubu.
"Hi, Uub. I need to talk to you." My left hand balls up to a first, an easy way to dig your nails into something.
"Umm, okay. What happened?" As I listen to his reply I just bite my lip.
"I'm moving in two weeks, Uub. Right-"
"What?!" I jumped up by his interruption, "Two weeks?! Panny! Two weeks! Dear, Dende! What's going on?"
"I know, I don't know what happened! It's all going so fast!" I close my eyes and sigh. Life couldn't get any worse.
"Panny, remember when I told you that I'd come to you?"
I smile a bit and nod. "Yeah? What about it?" Only thoughts of him graduating early come into mind.
"Today, I got a full scholarship to Italy so I doubt I'll be able to go to school in Tokyo now."
My eyes widen and my mouth hangs open. I hear my voice crack as I speak. "Wo-wow. Con-congratulations. I'm so-" I sob as I press the phone into my ear some more, "I'm so proud!" I hang up.
I breathe in and out quickly. My chest hurts and I feel dizzy. I lay down on my bed and cry so hard that I hope I drown in my tears.

A/N: Poor Panny, but don't worry guys! Things will be much more brighter, somehow! :P
