Chapter 6: Meeting Goten and Chichi

Princess Sango

Trunks heard Chichi enter the room and looked down at Pan who was still lying up against his chest. He didn't speak but watched Chichi's eyes tear up as she ran over to Pan and hugged her. Pan started to wince when Trunks spoke up to the over emotional woman, "Calm down Chichi-san, remember she still did have a fight just a day ago."

Chichi's drip loosened on the girl, "I'm sorry, but I was so happy that Goten and I aren't the only ones anymore!"

"Goten, who's that?"

"I'm Goten," came the voice from the doorway, a teen that looked just like a younger version of her dad from the video stood there. His hair all out in different ways and his black eyes stared at her.

"He's your uncle, Pan, and he's about two years older than Trunks and yourself," Bulma explained as she sat down in the recliner. "Three sayains left, two half and one a quarter, who to think."

Chichi nodded at Bulma, "I see what you mean Bulma-chan. You are right though, she does look like the younger me, and strange to think who her mother was."

"Yeah who to think, since Gohan never said anything," Goten said in a whisper, as if saying his brother's name was painful.

"Ah relax Goten-san, you have someone your brother left you. Actually I think he left us her to make it up," Trunks answered as Pan still leaned against his chest.

"True, true…" Goten answered but still couldn't let the fact that his brother was dead sink in, "Bulma-san I'm just going to lay down in a room okay?"

Bulma was about to answer when Chichi stood up, "That's rude Goten, here's your one and only niece and you can't even stay here?"

"No, it's okay, he doesn't know me, I don't think he should be forced to meet me," Pan answered from the couch, not wanting the attention.

Chichi turned around to Pan, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, he'll meet me when he wants too," Pan answered her grandma.

"Okay fine, Goten you may go if you want."

Goten didn't need any bribing as he ran out of the room. "Please forgive him Pan, since I refuse to let him fight, he blames himself. I wouldn't have let you fight either if I had met you sooner. What about you Trunks, why didn't you protect her?"

"I couldn't because #17 had his eyes on me and I couldn't move to Pan fast enough."

"I hate those androids, I swear!" Bulma yelled out.

Pan looked down at the floor, "Is there a way to get stronger, is there a way for sayains to get stronger I mean?"

Bulma looked over at Pan and smiled, "I'm building a time machine, big enough for three people to go back. If you want, you can go back in time and warn the others before hand, so they don't have to live in this hell. As for us, we'll figure out what to do when the time comes. Que sera sera."

Pan looked over at Trunks, "You never told me about this."

"I know, but now you know, and you'll be able to meet your father's, you just can't tell them. Yet, your parents Pan, might not meet, and you might not exist in the new future," Bulma explained to Pan.

"I'll still exist here right?" Pan asked fearfully.

"You should be able to, since here you were materialized. Why so scared?" Bulma asked the teen keenly as she clung onto Trunks's waist.

"Nothing…" Pan whispered as she buried her head in Trunks's chest and fell asleep, as if she wanted to hide for a while. Trunks picked her up and carried her out of the room, leaving the two women alone.

"So what did you think?" Bulma asked.

"She's so quiet, but her and Trunks seem to be getting along well."

"A lot better than well Chichi, have you watched them? They love each other, I've noticed all the signs."

Chichi looked up at her life long friend, "Like what?"

"She fights with Trunks, tells him everything, heck she talk to him and cuddles too!" Bulma informed her friend like a giggling carefree schoolgirl.

Trunks…

Placing Pan onto the bed she was occupying in came Goten. "Is she really who she claims?"

"Can't you see the resemblance, and she even knew who Gohan was," Trunks answered as he pulled the blankets over her body so she wouldn't get cold. Looking over at Goten, his friend sort of, since they didn't see each other much, was staring at Pan.

"I don't trust anyone, I wasn't born into the trusting world Trunks," Goten answered as he ran out of the room, slamming the door shut, as if everything was final. He didn't believe Gohan died, he doesn't believe Pan, everything was ruined for the carefree boy he once was.
