The Future of Their Hearts
Pan lay on a quilt on the floor of the palace atop Kami's lookout. Everyone else a around her
was asleep she thought as she was nearly asleep her self. Only Trunks remained with her now.
She let out a quiet sigh and closed her eyes. She began the process of drifting into the dream
world visited by all each night. Sometimes the dreams were of good and happy things others of
horrid beasts. Tonight would be somewhat between but then on the dark edge. Pan had crossed
the barrier into the dream world and was now in for the dream of her life.
~~~Pan's Dream~~~
She was in a huge never ending field of dying grass. It rose nearly to her knees. She looked
around the gray-lighted world. She walked for maybe three fourths of a mile and neared a
clearing. In its center laid three items. She bent down to grab one but the all disappeared. "Child,
please, you're not yet ready for these." A voice said ringing from the skies above the clouds
overhead parted and bright sunlight spotlighted Pan. "Who are you?" she said to the voice.
"Who, me? I am your ally. You need me to heal your friend." "So you're the one Dende told us
about?" "I am, but Pan, you will have to find me to get my help. Can you do it?" "I'll do what
ever it takes." She said. "As you with." She said. Then the three items that she'd seen earlier
appeared before her again: a sword, an amulet, and a breastplate. "You must retrieve all of the
items before you before you can find me. You will gain an item at the end of each quest you
perform for me. There are four in all." "But there are only three items." Pan said. "Yes, but the
sacred amulet of the winds of fire takes two quests to complete. It is by far the strongest item.
First you with find the golden chain it is on then you must find the fire pearl to complete it. Each
item before you possesses a magical power all its own. The sword of the three elements
commands the elements of fire ice and lightning, the armor of the bronze knights creates a
shielding energy field around its possessor and the sacred amulet of the winds of fire possesses
the power to control the unstoppable winds of a hurricane and the raging fires of the
underworld." All Pan could say to this was "Wow!" "Your first stop is the planet of the Saiyans,
900 years ago!" She said and on command the ground swirled beneath her feet sucking
everything inside of the woman of the legends let out a crackling maniacal laugh as Pan was
thrown into a void until it was all that was left. The void closed and lightning stuck the ground
and froze. A woman appeared from within its contents. "Good luck Pan Son. If you can find it all
you will become my apprentice, the dreams of thousands but you, you were chosen far before
your time so I have true faith in you but do hurry your counterpart is fading. Good luck" those
were her words to her. Pan heard them all as she spiraled into another dimension. The portal
reopened in a place like no other. She was surrounded by strange people. They all looked violent,
ready to kill her. Pan stood up and turned to run from them. There was something about them
though, they had a familiar marking. A tail! A Saiyan's none the least. She looked into their
faces. Some men, others women but she saw a familiar face in that crowd. Long black hair, black
eyes. She didn't have much of a woman's body. She, she looked just like her. She was Pan's
ancestor, the one who chose Pan for this task. She knew the legendary woman and told her that
she wished for her ancestor to be her next apprentice but now she didn't know just who it would
be. The Saiyans advanced toward her. She fled but this was where the real world came into the
dream.
~~~The Real World~~~
Pan was sweating heavily and her heart was racing. All of a sudden she stood up startling the
still awakened Trunks. Pan ran and trunks stood up as well. He followed her as she ran down the
halls.
~~~Pan's Dream ~~~
Pan ran as the mob gave chase down the dark alleyways of a Saiyan city late at night. They
began to throw energy spheres at her. She was hit by several. She stumbled and fell.
~~~The Real World~~~
Pan stumbled and fell over a chair and lay there as Trunks caught up. She was still asleep.
"Pan never sleepwalks. I wonder what's wrong?" he thought. Should he wake her? No, they
always told him as a boy not to walk a sleepwalker. He always wondered way. Then she stood up
in a sudden jolt and took of again, faster.
~~~Pan's Dream~~~
Pan shot up and darted down the alley until she got to a dead end. She got her back to the wall
and looked horrified.
~~~The Real World ~~~
Pan had her back to a column outside of the palace near the door. She was sweating as bad as
if she had been running laps around Capsule Corp., which Vegeta often made him do for
training. Then she jumped high into the air and flew off.
~~~Pan's Dream~~~
She jumped high and took of as a few angry Saiyans gave chase. She began to fire it her. She
as hit several times but one great blow to the head knocked unconscious and she fell, fast.
~~~The Real World~~~
Pan fell fast just a few feet from the edge of the lookout. She plummeted toward the ground
below as Trunks dove after her. The broke through the clouds as trunks closed the gap a little.
She was falling like a brick! He reached out for her foot. He just barely made it. Then her sock
began to slip off of her foot causing another fall.
~~~Pan's Dream~~~
Pan snagged a building edge with the side of her shoe but it began slipping. As it fell off she
fell again, surly to her death.
~~~The Real World~~~
Trunks could by now see the ground where a village was. He sped faster and faster after the
sleeping Pan. Twenty foot from the ground. Trunks was five foot from her. Ten foot from the
ground. He was about a foot from reach. Five foot. He reached for her foot again. Three foot. He
just barely caught her. His hands were so sweaty and so was her bear foot. She slipped from his
hand like wet soap. She landed with a crash. "Damn it! Trunks! What's the big idea waking me
up!!" She yelled at him. Now he knew why he shouldn't wake up a sleepwalker, especially Pan.
He sighed. Pan looked around. "Uhh... where am I?" she asked. "At the bottom of the lookout.
You fell." "Oh," she looked up. "Damn that's far. How come I'm not dead then?" "I caught
about three foot from the ground then you slipped. Sorry about that." "No need. You just saved
my life Trunks. I thank you and owe my life to you as well." "No sweat." He said. He extended
his hand to her and she graciously took it. He helped her to her feet. "Now, we should head back
to the lookout. I can almost see day break," he said. She nodded and the two back up to Kami's
lookout for a restless two hours.
~~~Two Hours Later~~~
Pan, Trunks, and Mirai Trunks stood outside with the ship as they readied for takeoff. Pan and
Trunks crawled into the ship as Mirai Trunks stood still outside. "Hey, aren't you coming?" Pan
asked. He shook his head. "I'm gonna stay here and watch Pan." She nodded. "See you soon."
She called to him. Trunks closed the door to the ship. The two waved from the window as they
left. The jets started and shot off into the air above, exiting the Earth's atmosphere as Pan's
greatest adventure had begun.

I'm so sorry for not updating sooner but I was grounded for reasons I shouldn't say. Next time, Pan and Trunks head off into space and Pan tells Trunks about her dream and they look for clues to find an item near where the first Planet Vegeta had been but as the land they are caught in a rift of space and time.
