Chapter 2 – A dark nightmare.
As Pan lets Lin into the house, Lin was kinda shocked to see so many people inside.
It seems that Pan, Goku and Lin where the last once to arrive at Gohan's birthday.
Pan insisted to introduce her new friend to everybody.
They first went to their huge kitchen, where her mother Videl, and her grandmother ChiChi where working on the massive dinner.
"Mom, Grandma, I'd like you to meet Lin. She and I where fighting in the finals of schools Tournament. Can she stay for dinner mom?"
Videl turns around and smiles.
"Of course sweety. Just don't make to much of a mess okay? We have enough guests today, that'll make enough mess to last a year."
"Okay mom. C'mon Lin, let me introduce you to a few interesting people."
Pan leads Lin into the living room where they bump into Bulma and Bra.
"Oh! Hey Bulma, Bra. Enjoying yourselfs?"
Bulma nods.
"It's pretty crowded, but it's all friendly folk, so i'm enjoying myself just fine."
"This is Lin, she's a new friend of mine. Lin, this is Bulma. Bulma is the CEO of the Capsule Corporation."
Lin looks at Bulma and smiles.
"I'd like to thank you for allowing my mother to work for your company."
"Don't sweat it dear."
Pan didn't wait for Lin and Bulma to finish their conversation, and pulls her along and stops next to Lunch, Tenshinhan and Chaozu.
After a short introduction, Pan gets tapped on her shoulder by Marron, who's having company from Bra.
"Hi again Pan! Long time no see."
"Marron! How are you?"
"I'm doing quit well. When will we go shopping togetter again? It's been to long Pan."
Pan nods in agreement.
"Oh! I'd like you to meet Lin. She studies on the same school as me."
"Really? Cool!"
"Where's your mother and father Marron? I'd also like Lin to meet them."
Marron points towards a group of people at the other side of the room.
"They are right there, along with Yamcha and his girlfriend, Puaru, Oolong, and Kame-sennin."
Pan thanks Marron, and she pulls Lin along to the group of people at the other side of the room.
She stands behind Kuririn and grins.
"Your getting old Kuririn. I can count at least 200 grey hairs on your head."
The others laugh at Pan's comments, even# 18.
Kuririn rubs the back of his head, laughing along with them.
"What can i say? I'm not getting any younger you know. Hehehehe! How are you Pan-chan?"
"I'm doing pretty well. And your self ?"
"Besides getting grey, I'm doing alright I guess."
"Better grey then bald, right?"
Kuririn smirks at Pan's comments again.
"Been there, done that."
The others laugh again, as Pan gets a bit confused.
Kame-sennin looks at the other young girl behind Pan, who's clearly a bit older then Pan.
"Pan, is she a friend of yours?"
"Yep! This is Lin. Lin these are Kuririn and his wife #18. Yamcha and his girlfriend. The old geezer is Kame-sennin, Puaru, and the pig is Oolong."
Then Pan spots her other grandfather Mr. Satan, Uubu, Trunks and Goten a few meters ferther in the room.
She takes Lin along to meet them.
Mr. Satan whas telling old war stories about the Tournaments he won in his younger days.
Trunks, Goten and Uubu, don't take him to seriously, but let the old man tell his tails, which seem to be pretty funny to listen to.
"Hi grandpa! Telling your old stories again are we?"
Mr. Satan hugs Pan, who's kinda embarrassed by being hugged by her grandfather in front of everybody.
Lin smiles at the sight, and accidentally catches a gaze from Trunks and Goten.
They both seem to like what they saw, but Trunks quickly looks away blushing a bit.
Lin wasn't used to boys checking her out like Goten and Trunks just did, and looks away aswel.
Goten however walks up to Lin.
"Hi. I'm Goten. So Pan-chan brought you to her father's birthday huh?"
Pan saw her uncle trying to make a pas on Lin, kicks him in the shin.
"Oh no you don't! Not with any friends of mine!"
She quickly pulls Lin away from the playboy, and takes her upstairs to her room.
She then stops halfway the stairs and calls for Bra and Marron.
"Bra! Marron! Come to my room okay?"
Bra and Marron motions Pan that they'll be there in a moment, so Pan and Lin go on.
Once in Pan's room Lin sighs deeply.
"That's like, a whole lot of people down their."
"Most defiantly. So we need to be quick once dinner is ready. Coz if My grandfather Goku, my father, Goten, Trunks or Vegita digs in first, there wont be much left."
"Vegita?"
Pan points outside her window, where Vegita is seen sitting on the roof.
"That's Vegita. He's the husband of Bulma, and father of Trunks and Bra."
"He looks a kinda grumpy to me."
"Well, he is grumpy most of the time. But you don't wanna make him angry, for he is, next to my grandpa Goku, the strongest man I know."
"Really? I mean, he doesn't really look like he's that strong."
"Don't judge a book from it's cover. And don't you ever say that out loud for he'll pound you to pulp if he hears it."
Vegita, who of course could hear every word the girls where saying, mutters a bit.
"Brats…."
Meanwhile, downstairs, Trunks, Goten and Uubu where standing in a corner.
Goten smirks slightly as he looks up the stairs.
"You know, Pan sure has some cute friends around her. But this new girl… Wow! It cant get any cuter then that!"
"Keep in mind that it's a friend of Pan. And she'll kick your ass again, if you start hitting on her friends like last time."
"I know Uubu. I can still feel the point of her boot in my buttocks."
Trunks smiles at Uubu.
"So why don't you try it then, hm?"
"Did your father hit the back of your head a bit to hard in that last sparring match yesterday? Coz Pan would probably hand my ass to me the hard way if I did that. Besides, why won't you make a pass on Lin huh?"
Trunks blinks and blushes slightly, as he turns around.
"Sorry, I'm not interested n her."
"Yeah right Trunks! You always say that! Just admit that you like her to!"
Goku walks up to the boys, when he hears their talk about Lin and Pan.
"Pan is tough alright, but don't underestimate Lin, coz that girl stood her own against Pan in the finals of that tournament today at their school."
"Eeehhhh?" The boy's say to getter in surprise.
"Although Pan was a lot stronger, it still was a very interesting fight."
Then Videl walks out of the kitchen telling everyone that dinner is finally ready.
ChiChi go's upstairs and tells Pan, Lin, Bra and Marron that dinner is ready.
A few minutes later, everybody watches how Goku, Vegita, Gohan, Goten and Trunks try to beat each other with an eating contest.
Of course is Goku the winner as always.
The night starts to fall, and everybody has already left for home.
Lin also needs to go home, and Pan decided to fly Lin home.
Goku however, calls for Kint-un, and the little yellow flying cloud speeds down from the skies.
"This is Kint-un. He can fly you home."
Lin was a bit confused.
"This cloud is gonna fly me home? How?"
"Well, I sensed that your heart is pure, and only the pure of heart are able to fly on Kint-un. Since Pan doesn't need it anymore, I think it might be of more use to you."
"Really? Cool!"
"You can keep it, for when ever you wanan visit Pan or wanna train with us. Just call it, and it'll come for you."
"Thanks! This is so cool!"
Lin jumps onto the yellow cloud and levitates.
She waves at Goku, Gohan, ChiChi, Videl, and Pan.
"I'll see you again tomorrow Pan! Sleep well! Bye everyone!"
She waves and flies towards Satan city again.
ChiChi smiles and turns to her granddaughter.
"She's a really nice girl Pan."
"I know grandma. I think she and I will be friends for a very long time."
Gohan smiles and pets his daughter's head, while holding Videl closely.
"Well Pan it's getting late. So why don't you go do your homework, and go to bed, for school starts early again tomorrow."
Pan nods, and hugs her grandparents, then walks back into the house, fallowed by Gohan, Videl, Goku, ChiChi, and Mr. Satan.
A few minutes later, Lin arrives home, and waves Kint-un goodnight.
She enters her house, where her mother was waiting for her.
"Hello dear. How whas your day today?"
"It went pretty good actually. First off, I became second at the tournament. I made a new friend. Her name is Pan, and she defeated me in the finals today. And it happens to be that she has 2 famous grandfathers. Mr. Satan, and Son Goku."
Lin's mother smiles and pours in a hot cup of tea for her daughter.
"Seems like you had a pretty interesting day."
Lin nods, and smiles back as she takes a sip from the tea.
"I also met Bulma, and thanked her for giving you this job, and allowed me to go to school. She's a really nice woman."
Her mother nods in acknowledgement.
"I know. Anyways, I'm off to bed, for the day starts really early for me tomorrow. So when you finished your tea, could you lock the doors before you go to bed?"
"Okey mom. Sleep well."
"Good night."
Her mother wanders into her bedroom, and go's to sleep.
Not long after, Lin decides to go to bed as well, and after locking the doors she first takes a nice, long and warm shower.
Lin almost forgotten that she needed to finish some homework for tomorrow as well, and after her shower, she starts working on it.
It was a pretty easy project, and after an hour, she closed her books, and cleans her desk.
She then walks to her bedroom, and after she changed into her nightgown, Lin putts out the lights, and crawls under her warm bed.
Slowly but surely she falls asleep.
It has been a long and tiring day for her, and it didn't take long before she was in a deep sleep.
2 hours went by as suddenly Lin wakes up with a terrible headache.
She grabs her head with her left hand, and could only keep one eye open from the pain.
Lin clutches her teeth and closes her eye again as the pain gotten worst.
The ground started to vibrate, and her alarm clock falls from her table, and smacks onto the ground.
The pieces of her alarm clock fly everywhere, till they suddenly stop and float in mid air.
Everything in her room started to levitate as the pain in Lin's head gets worst and worst.
Electrical charges surge through her room as the ground start to shake more violently.
Suddenly her mother opens the door and sees the phenomena with frightened eyes.
As Lin opens her right eye, her mother sees it flicker from her original black colour to dull-green, and back.
"Lin….."
Then the stuff that was levitating a few moments ago, crashes onto the ground again.
The ground stopped shaking, and the electrical charges vanish, along with Lin's headache.
Her mother wraps her arms around her daughter as Lin starts to cry softly.
She opens both her eyes a tiny bit, struggling to stay awake, and look at her mother.
"M…Mom….I…I…heard a voice…. It was really angry….."
Her mother looks at Lin with a worried look on her face.
"What did that voice say hun?"
"It's only yelled one word…… K…Ka….Kakarott…"
Lin then slowly closed her eyes again and fell back into a deep sleep.
Her mother tugs her in and plants a kiss on her forehead, and leaves the room.
As she closed the door with shaking hands.
She then drops on her knees and started praying.
"Lord, please release her from the curse she inherited from the demon that placed her in my womb….Please… I beg you… Spare her…"
That same night, Goku is seen standing outside, with his eyes shut.
ChiChi walks outside in her nightgown, looking a bit worried at her husbent.
"Goku? What's wrong dear?"
Goku opens his eyes and looks up at the sky.
"I just sensed a terrible power, but it only lasted for a few seconds. To short for me to determine where it came from."
"Come back to bed and sleep on it. You'll find out more after you had some sleep, you always do."
"But ChiChi…."
"NOW!"
Goku chuckles a bit and walks back inside the house.
"I guess I have no choice huh?"
Before closing the door behind him, he looks over his shoulder one last time, and then go's back to bed.
