Chapter 7: Travel

Princess Sango

Pan woke up to find herself back in her room, she didn't try moving, that would just disrupt the healing process. Giving herself a small smile, she heard the door open to find Trunks coming back inside. "Hi there sleeping beauty."

"Hi there to you my knight, so are you here to take me somewhere or stay here?" she joked back.

"I'm taking you to the living room so we can talk or watch some movies that are left from previous good times,' he answered, ignoring the knight joke.

"Yeah, but I have a question, Uncle Goten, he's not very trusting is he?" Pan asked seriously.

"Well know, he likes to live in what I call an imaginary world, but anyway, I believe you, that's all that matters."

Pan smiled as Trunks weaved his hands under her neck and his other arm weaved under her legs. Leaning down on his chest, Pan whispered, "If only my family could see me now, what would they say?"

"They'd say you guys are two love birds and of all times," came the light hearted response from Chichi.

Trunks and Pan blushed five shades of red and Pan answered, "Um, Chichi-san, really they wouldn't have said that…"

"I don't know your mother, but I knew Gohan, he wouldn't have said much but still, it's a fact. I know you guys love each other," Chichi said in an as-a-matter-of-fact voice.

Pan and Trunks blushed another ten shades, beyond tomato, and looked away, "We don't know what you're talking about."

"Ah, come on I think it's sweet," came Bulma's voice.

"Well are we going to watch movies or not?" Trunks asked everyone.

"Sure, or should we leave you two alone so you two can make out?" both girls teased.

"No!" both the other two shouted. Bulma and Chichi gave each other knowing looks as they walked into the living room, where a simple leather sofa sat and a recliner. Pan and Trunks curled up on the sofa as Bulma sat down in the recliner and Chichi sat down on the floor. Bulma had the remote and pressed play and the HDTV screen came to life as people started to play on it. The fact is, all these people were family members, members from her family.

Trunks saw himself, and even Gohan, but Pan was intrigued like a little kid at all the people on the screen. She would point and ask, and even Chichi thought Goku was naïve, Pan was like Goku then. Watching, Trunks unconsciously was stroking Pan's arm and soon the tape was over. Pan stood up then, as if no pain was there, "Bulma-san, can we really go back in time? When's the time machine going to be ready?"

Bulma laughed at her spunkiness, "It's done already, I'm just waiting for you to recover, so you shouldn't be standing right now."

"Oh I feel fine, really come on Bulma-san, and let me go!" Pan pleaded, energy was coming to her again.

"I don't know," both women said when Goten walked in.

"Let's go come on Bulma-san, no one could be waiting for too long."

Bulma looked at Goten and nodded, "As long as Trunks takes care of Pan, you may go."

Pan smiled as Trunks walked up behind her and hugged her slim waist, "Well then let's go, I'm sure we can get some clothes while we're there, right mom?"

"Why not, that'd be awesome, I'll get you some of the money I saved from when it actually counts," Bulma said as she ran out of the room. When she returned she handed Trunks the money and motioned everyone to the lab where she prepared the time machine, making sure she set the time and everything. Pulling Trunks over for a second, she warned him about all the complications and made one rule: Don't reveal your true identity.

When everything was said and done, Trunks and Pan left for the time machine, and so did Goten. Giving everyone a wave, they started the rime machine up and left. Chichi looked over at Bulma, who looked like she aged in the past second, "Are they going to be okay?"

"Maybe, I can't be sure."

Trio…

Trunks looked over at Pan who squirmed, and Goten who stared dully out the window at the passing lights. He knew this would be their chance, it would be everyone's chance, to see who they're parents and sibling are like, in a carefree world.
