DISCLAIMER: I dont own DBZ. I'd be a rich girl if i did!
SUMMARY: Pan has grown into a beautifull you woman, and go's to the same school as her parents did when they where her age. There she'll meet a new friend ...
This is the first Chapter in a story that have been devaloped in my mind for the last 3 years now. I plan on wrighting it all down, and think it'll take a while before it's done.
Chapter 1 – Pan meets a new friend.
20 years later, Orange High School, Satan City...
In a class room, the teacher is reading from a book, and suddenly looks up to his class, noticing a young girl watching the birds outside, rather then paying attention to his class.
He walks up to her desk, and crosses his arms, as the other kids in the classroom giggle.
"I know the birds are very interesting this time of year, but ehhhmmm…. COULD YOU PAY ATTENTION TO MY CLASS!"
The young girl was shocked and falls from her chair.
Her classmates where laughing loudly as she crawls back onto her chair, while rubbing her head.
Her classmate that was sitting next to her whispers softly.
"How where the birds today Pan ?"
Pan smirks and wrights down a few lines before she answers finally.
"They are doing pretty well, despite the hot weather."
Pan, the daughter of Gohan and Videl, is attending the same school as her mother and father did.
She's starting to grow into a beautiful young woman at the age of 17.
After the school go's out, Pan and 2 of her classmates decide to go shopping for some new clothes.
After a while going in and out of some stores, Pan notices that Bulma and Trunks across the street.
Her 2 classmates immediately notice Trunks, and starting to call for him, and wave.
Trunks, still as shy as a few years before, blushes a bit.
Bulma smiles and crosses the street with Trunks, who wasn't feeling to comfortable about being this close to all these woman, to meet up with Pan.
Pan smiles and greets the 2.
"Hello again! How are you 2? Shopping to I see."
Bulma smiles and points at the bags Trunks was carrying.
"But of course! But I only took Trunks with me, cause Vegita was to busy training. And I needed somebody to help me carry these bags."
Pan smirks while her friends try to get a conversation going with Trunks.
Of course this was a futile attempt from the 2 young girls.
Bulma looks at her watch and motions Trunks that they should go, and Trunks realy didn't mind.
"Well Pan, I need to run again, why don't you come by sometime next week ? And bring one or 2 of your friends as well. Trunks here still doesn't have a girlfriend, while your uncle Goten had several. We can't have my son stay behind now can we?"
Trunks mutters a bit as he continues walking away from his mother and Pan.
Pan smiles and agrees and waves at Bulma and Trunks as they leave.
Her friends tell her they really find Trunks cute.
They giggle and gossip a bit to getter as they continue shopping.
A few hours later, Pan arrives home, while her mother, Videl is already making supper.
Videl greets her daughter and also notices, that Gohan is back from his day of work.
"Well good evening Pan, Gohan. Hope you both had an interesting day."
Pan nods, as Gohan sits down at the dinner table.
"Oh, I'd bet it'll be even more interesting now that I smell the delicious meal your making for us today! Cause man, I'm hungry!"
Videl smiles at Gohan, and plants a kiss on his cheek as she putts down a plate with the main course.
"Enjoy!"
And like a hungry wulf, Gohan start digging in, and Pan fallows his example, only a bit more modest.
The next day starts early for both Gohan and Pan, as they leave their house to getter.
They both take to the air, and fly towards Satan City, where their roads split.
Pan lands in a quiet park where she walks the rest of the way to her school.
She was extra exited today, coz instead of classes, she gets to participate in the schools martial arts Tournament.
Of course it's nothing like the Budokai Tournament, but it's always fun.
She's the raining champion of her school for 2 years now, and is confident that she's win again this year, although she silently hopes that this year she could fight somebody stronger then ordinary.
As she arrives at her school, she walks into the girl's locker room, and changes into the outfit her grandmother, ChiChi, made for her.
It was a lot like the outfit her grandfather, Goku, used to wear.
She then makes her way to the side hall, where some other competitors already started their warm-up.
Pan starts a few stretch moves, and loosens up her muscles a bit.
Already she's browsing the area for anyone with an unusual power level, but couldn't find any yet.
She walks over to a group of girls who seem to be a few friends of her, and starts talking.
Then, 5 minutes later, she senses somebody both an above average power level, and looks around, trying to find the source, but there where already to many people in the room.
The energy reading Pan senses are higher then Krillin, which is way above average.
A smile appears on her face as she's getting a slightly bit exited.
It's been a while since she had a serious fight, and feels like kicking some serious ass this tournament.
The announcer is heard through the speakers , telling the competitors to get to the preliminary stages.
As last years champion, Pan was already qualified for the first round, and could check out her competition.
After watching a few fights, she suddenly senses the energy signature again, that she sensed a few moments ago.
It came from the last stage, where she could see a tough looking boy facing a young girl.
Her senses weren't tuned enough to decide who the energy belonged to.
To her dismay, she didn't have the chance to find out, as she was pulled out from the crowd by one of the referees.
He told her that she needed to go to the main stage, where the winners of the 15 stages of the preliminary rounds also will go to see who faces who in the actual tournament.
A few minutes later, the final battle of the preliminaries have finished, and all 16 contenders where found on the main stage.
Pan counts 13 boys, and 2 girls that made their way to the first round.
After everybody has gotten their numbers, the stage has been set, and the tournament can begin.
Pan started first, facing a boy who's nearly twice her size in length.
He looks pretty tough, and as the battle started, he attacked furiously.
However, he's no match for Pan, and after dodging 2 minutes of the guy's punches and kicks, she knocked him out of the ring with 1 punch.
The crowd is going wild, as the next battle starts…..
A few fights further, nr 15 and nr 16 where called to the ring, and Pan senses the energy level again.
It was the young girl she saw facing that guy in the preliminaries where she wasn't sure who owned that power.
Now she was sure, and decided to watch this match with interest.
As the fight starts, it seems that the 2 contenders where evenly matched, however, none of the guy's attacks hit the girl.
And at the border of the ring, the girl suddenly ducks and moves behind the guy with incredible speed, and sweeps his feet from underneath him, knocking the guy out of the ring.
Pan knew that she would meet this girl in the final, and she could almost feel the battle.
As the girl exits the ring, Pan wanders to the girl, and taps her on her shoulder.
The girl turns around, and smiles at pan.
"Nice moves back there, where did you learn them?"
The girl shrugs.
"I started at a cheep city dojo, cause my mother and I don't have enough money to go to a good martial arts school, but, it seemed that I was to strong. So I started training on my own."
"I haven't seen anybody these 3 tournaments that's any good, accept for you. By the way, I'm Pan."
Pan bows slightly in respect, and the girl bows back.
"I'm Lin, and I'm not really that good. Say, aren't you're the granddau…"
Pan smirks slightly as she interrupts Lin.
"The granddaughter of Mr. Satan, and Goku, yes."
"So if I reach the finals, I probably end up fighting the granddaughter of the 2 best martial artists in history huh ?"
"On paper anyways. Hehehehe."
Then the next match of Pan was about to start, and pan told Lin that she'll talk to her again after her match.
Lin nods and turns to the ring, to watch Pan's second fight which was as short as the first one.
Pan walks calmly of the ring, and go's straight to Lin.
Lin smiles at Pan as she approaches her.
"Wow! You are really strong Pan! You knocked that guy out of the ring with one simple punch! I wish I where that strong!"
"Well, what I saw of your first match, your pretty strong yourself Lin. I'd bet it'll be a good fight when we see each other in the finals! Say, what are you doing after this tournament?"
"Well, nothing really. Why ?"
"Well, if you want, you could come with me to my home. My grandma and grandpa are coming over, and she's gonna kook this reeeeaaallly yummy meal! And then I could ask my father and grandfather to teach you martial arts like me! It'll be great!"
"Hmmm… Okey, I guess. But I'll need to let my mom know that I'm not coming home tonight for dinner though."
Pan nods in agreement as the next match of Lin is being announced.
Lin smiles at Pan and enters the ring, and like her last match, Lin wipes the floor with her opponent.
Not to long after, both Pan and Lin beat their opponents in the semi-finals.
The announcer calls in for a 15 minute break, before the final starts, and Lin and Pan, start their warming up to getter, knowing, this next match will be slightly more interesting for both them, and the crowd.
While stretching their muscles, they continue their conversation.
"By the way Lin, are you new to this school?"
"Yes I am. My mother has gotten a job here, so we had to move. She's happy, coz her boss insisted to pay for my education, otherwise, I wouldn't be here in the first place."
"Lucky you! What kinda work is your mother doing then?"
"She started working as a secretary at the Capsule Corporation. She's happy about finally making enough money to actually start living a normal life."
Pan smiles at Lin and starts another workout.
Lin also decides to do another warm up.
"What about your father, where is he working?"
Lin sighs a bit and stares to the ground for a sec, before turning to Pan.
"I don't have a father….."
Pan see's the sadness in Lin's eyes.
"What happened? Did your parents get divorced or something?"
Lin shakes her head.
"I don't know the exact story, but whenever I ask her about it, she starts to cry. So I know that…. That….That it wasn't something that was a good memory at all."
Pan looks away for a sec and then smiles again at Lin.
"Okay, this is bringing the mood down. Let's just concentrate on our match, okay?"
Lin smiles back and nods in agreement, when suddenly someone seems to appear behind Pan in a blink of an eye.
Lin blinks for a sec, while Pan gets startled as the man places his hands on her shoulders.
She spins around, and laughs.
"Grandpa!"
Pan glomps her grandfather, having him fall down on his behind.
"Ahhh! Pan, take it easy will you? I aint getting younger you know?"
Pan giggles as she stands up and looks at the confused Lin.
"Oh! I'm sorry. Lin, This is my grandfather Goku. Grandpa, this is my new friend Lin. I'm going to fight her in the finals in a few minutes. She's really strong."
Goku looks at Lin and smiles at her.
"She's really strong? If you say so Pan, I'll believe you! Guess it'll be a pretty interesting fight then huh?"
Lin looks a bit embarrassed and rubs the back of her head, and tries to smile a bit.
"I'm not really that strong. I…I guess I've been pretty lucky so far."
Goku stands up and looks at Lin a bit closer, which made her blush a bit.
"Nah! Pan is right, you are pretty strong alright. I'll enjoy seeing you both fight. But right now I'm pretty hungry, so I'm gonna look for something to eat. I'll see you 2 later in the ring, OK ?"
He gives both the girls his thumbs up, and wanders away, in search for something to eat.
Lin keeps fallowing Goku with her eyes, and as he walks past a wall, Lin turns back to Pan.
"Is he really your grandfather? He doesn't look that old to me."
Pan smiles at Lin and nods in agreement.
"Lets just say it runs in the family. But even though he's getting old, he's really strong."
"It must be pretty cool to have 2 grandfathers who both are the worlds best martial artists in history huh?"
"It's okay. But my father and my mother both are pretty strong as well. But you'll find that out soon enough."
"I guess so. I can't wait!"
A few minutes later the announcer finally calls for the 2 finalists to step into the ring.
Pan turns to Lin and smiles and Lin returns her smile.
"Lets have a good match, and may the best girl win."
"Yeah! Let's show these people a real match!"
Goku returns from stuffing himself, and leans over the railing to watch the match of his granddaughter Pan, and her new found friend.
Pan and Lin both stand into their fighting positions and seconds later the gong as heared loudly throughout the area.
At that precise moment the 2 young girls charge at each other.
Both their punches meet in the middle of the ring, causing the ground to shake a bit.
Pan hurls her fist at Lin, who blocks the punch with her right arm, and counters with a kick, which Pan dodges by ducking, and stands up again, upper cutting Lin.
Lin leans back a bit, causing the upper cut to miss her by an inch, and back flips, kicking her feet at Pan.
Pan back flips as well, and as they both land back on their feet, they charge towards each other again.
This time they meet in the middle of the ring, and turn up the speed of the fight a notch, giving the audience a hard time fallowing the fight.
Goku, was clearly enjoying the fight.
Then, out of the blue, one of Pan's punches was dodges rather easily by Lin and counters with a high kick to Pan's head.
Pan didn't count on a sudden increase of speed from Lin's side, and gets hit pretty hard.
She slams to the ground, but swings back up and twists around, landing on her feet again.
A drop of blood escapes from the corner of Pan's lips, and she smiles while wiping it clean.
"I nice move's Lin. So I guess the warm up round is over now, and the time has come to get a bit more serious."
Lin nods in acknowledgement and smiles back.
"Already enjoying the fight I see. Well, I'm enjoying it a lot myself, so let's not stop here, shell we?"
Pan grins, and gets back into battle position, and watches Lin do the same.
Then both of them charges towards each other, this time with a more serious looks on their faces.
The clash between them causes the area to shake, and keeping the crowd guessing where the loud noises from the fight are coming from.
The only one who seems to be fallowing the fight in the ring seems to be Goku.
Then a loud explosion is heared, and Lin slams into the ground.
As Pan stands down in the middle of the ring, Lin flips back on her feet.
Her left cheek was slightly bruised , and she rubs it while grinning.
She then charges at Pan again, and a short brawl comes in place, where Pan makes a small mistake by missing a punch, and leaving herself open.
Lin saw the opening, and plants her fist into Pan's face.
The punch was so strong, that Pan flies out of the ring at great speed.
She recovered just in time to stop herself from crashing into the ground, and floats just inches from the ground.
If she was just a fraction later, she would have lost the match.
She floats back to the ring, and rubs her eye.
"Damn…. That'll become a nice shiner in the morning, that's for sure."
Lin looks at the floating Pan with a dazed look on her face.
"Your…Flying….."
"Yep. That's one of the things you'll learn to when my grandfather trains you. Among other things."
"Cool!"
Goku was smiling widely, for his granddaughter actually found a friend that could stand up to her.
He was really amused, by watching this match.
Pan gets back into her battle position, as Lin does the same.
"Lin, it's about time to end this match, don't you think?"
Lin nods in agreement, as Pan suddenly vanishes from her sight, just to appear again right in front of her, and sweeps the feet from under Lin's body.
Before Lin could even react, and correct herself, Pan already kicked the falling Lin, out of the ring.
Lin, who didn't know how to fly, crashes onto the ground outside the ring.
The crowd go's wild as the announcer declares Pan as the winner of the tournament for the 3rd time in a row.
Lin sits up and rubs her head, which was kinda soar from the rough landing on the ground.
Pan offers her hand, and pulls Lin back into the ring.
"I really enjoyed this fight Lin, but only one could end up as the winner."
"Yeah. And somebody has to lose I guess, huh? But yeah, it was a great fight."
Lin grabs Pan's hand , and pulls it up as the crowd cheers them both on.
Both girls enjoy the attention and blush at the compliments they get from the mob.
Goku claps his hands in excitement, as he makes his way to the side of the ring.
The school's principle hands Pan her trophy for the school's best martial artist.
Pan runs out of the ring to meet her grandfather again, fallowed by Lin, who took her time.
Goku congratulates his granddaughter and Lin for an excellent show.
Pan smiles putts down her trophy for a sec.
"I told you she was really strong."
"Yes you did hehehe."
"By the way, grandpa, could you train Lin to be even stronger? Her mother can't afford to send her to a good martial arts school."
Goku smiles and turns to Lin.
"Sure she can! I can't see why not. She has a lot of potential. If you want, you could come with Pan every day to train."
Pan smirks at her grandfather's answer.
"Every day will be kinda difficult coz we do have homework to do and such. And don't forget shopping!"
Lin smirks at Pan's comment.
"Yep! Don't you even think about forgetting to shop!"
The 2 girls giggle a bit as Goku seems to be a bit confused.
"I really can't understand what's up with woman."
Pan and Lin wave at Goku as they run to the girl's locker room, to take a shower, and to dress into something less comfortable then their martial arts outfits.
Pan finishes faster then Lin and walks outside to her grandfather.
"Will you carry her onto your back grandpa? Coz that way I can fly faster."
Goku nods as Lin walks out of the locker room.
Pan takes the lead as they walk out of the school.
Outside, Goku kneels down in front of Lin, with his back turned to her.
"Hop on and hold on tight OK?"
Lin was rather confused by this and looks at Pan, who already was floating in the air.
Pan smirks a bit at the funny expression of Lin.
"You could always try and walk 400 miles to my house, but that'll take you months, probably."
"You mean, we'll be flying ?"
Pan nods as she bursts away, waving at Goku and Lin.
Goku turns to Lin and smiles.
"We wont be able to beat her home of you don't hurry and climb on my back, so we can go to. Cause Pan is pretty fast."
Lin nods and climbs on Goku's back, and holds on tight as Goku floats up and bursts away after Pan.
Though Lin has a slight fear of heights, she gotten used to it within a few minutes.
"Pan wait up! I cant catch you while I'm having your friend on my back!"
"Hahaha! That means I finally get to win the race home from you grandpa!"
She turns around, pulls down her eyelid and sticks out her tongue.
"BLEH!"
Then the young girl accelerates even more.
Goku smirks and slows down a bit, and looks over his shoulders at Lin.
"Wanna experience something really cool Lin ?"
"Hmm?"
"It's a special technique which will get us to our rendezvous point faster then Pan."
"Really? Ok!"
Goku nods and smiles as he places 2 fingers on his forhead.
"Just hold on! Here we go!"
Suddenly both Goku and Lin vanish without a trace.
10 minutes later Pan finally arrives at her house, and was shocked, finding Goku in her back yard giving some training to Lin with her father (Gohan) watching them.
Pan lands in front of her father and uncle, glaring at her grandfather.
"You cheated! You used instant transmission didn't you grandpa ?"
Lin turns to Pan, pulls down her eyelid, and sticks out her tongue.
"BLEH!"
Goku and Gohan both laugh as Pan sighs, obviously defeated.
Pan then walks to her father, and plants a kiss on his cheek.
"Happy birthday daddy!"
Please review this chapter.
I would like to see other people's reactions about my work.
Thanks for reading.
