Chapter 10: Owari

Princess Sango

Pan hopped into the time machine and smiled sadly at Trunks, "Let's go home."

Trunks studied her eyes, a calm exterior, but the sadness in her eyes didn't lie to him, "Pan-chan, you can stay you know."

Pan blinked and shook her head, "If I stayed here, I'd cause problems, and you wouldn't be my age Trunks-kun. It doesn't feel right without you here, Trunks, let's go home."

Goten sat silently in the backseat and on looked the two love birds. "Pan-chan this is your only chance, I want you to live a long happy life."

Pan closed her eyes and kissed him on the lips, "I don't know what I'm going to do without you Trunks."

Trunks hugged her close, "You'll find someone out there Pan-chan, be happy, stay with your father, go on now."

Pan smiled at him and grabbed some of the bags that belonged to her, "Bye Trunks-kun, Uncle Goten, tell everyone hi for me."

Trunks looked at her and pressed a few buttons on the time machine before they disappeared. Pan, on the other hand walked back to Capsule Corp where Bulma greeted her, "Hi there, who are you?"

"I'm Pan, is Gohan-san here?" Pan asked the woman kindly.

"No, I think he went back home to Mount Pow, and Goten left already. Do you know the way?" Bulma asked her.

"Yes I know where it is, good-bye," Pan answered, turning around and levitated a little and shot out of the place as fast as she could. Wind whipping at her hair she made it to Mount Pow where a small house sat. Pan walked over to the home and opened the door, and a younger healthier looking Chichi answered the door.

"Hi there, why don't you come on in?" she said quickly pulling Pan inside.

"Thanks, I'm looking for Gohan-san," Pan answered, sitting at the dining room table, feeling the family warmth surrounding her.

"Oh, Gohan is up in his room studying for some test. Go on up ahead," Chichi answered, turning to the load of dishes she had before bed time.

Pan nodded and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door to find her father sitting at the table, and then she felt like she didn't belong and was about to back up when she bumped into another person. "Hi there, my name's Goku, and who are you?"

"Goku-san?" Pan questioned nervously and that got her father's attention.

"Pan, I thought you left already," Gohan answered shocked.

Pan closed her eyes, "I hope you don't mind dad, but I wanted to stay here, with you."

Gohan's eyes widened and he nodded, "It's fine with me Pan-chan."

Pan smiled at her father and ran into his arms, "Dad, let me be myself, don't let the androids take over, let my life become what it would have been."

Gohan embraced his daughter, "It's okay Pan-chan, it's okay."

5 years later…

Pan walked up to the house next to her grandmother's, it was her father's house, and Pan lived there with him and her mother, Videl. They were expecting a child soon, and Pan knew the child to be a girl, but not one named Pan, but Chi. She knew they couldn't name what they already had. Videl hadn't found out the secret of Pan until after they were married but she had already fallen deeply in love with her father and couldn't take that back. As for the androids, the whole operation was stopped before it had begun.

Pan's heart still ached for love though, the love of Trunks, and that love was hard on her. She hadn't seen him in so long, yet she could still remember his embrace, his kisses, and everything else about him. When she entered the house she saw someone who was like the image of her love but dismissed it for the present Trunks of this time. Yet there was something different, as she felt arms strong, wrap around her waist and kiss her, "Pan-chan, I have returned."

Pan looked up at him, "Trunks is this a dream or are you really here?"

Trunks kissed her, with all the passion that had been built up after five years, "Decide for yourself."

Pan kissed him back, "This is really you, oh Trunks-chan, Trunks, you're really here, though why?"

Pain struck his eyes as he sat down on the couch, with Pan on his lap, "They died just yesterday, the human race, everyone but me, has been wiped out Pan. So I decided to come back to you love, to where I knew you'd be waiting, unless you have already found someone better than me?"

"No, never, I could never do that Trunks-kun," Pan whispered, as she clung to him when her mother's cry of pain disturbed the two re-found couple.

"The baby's coming!" came Videl's cries.

Pan raced up to her mother's side and smiled, "It'll be okay, from what I remember I was quick, so just push."

Videl complied and Pan helped with the delivery and soon the girl she knew was her, but not her was born. When handed to Videl, and Gohan who had shown up just in time, named her Chi. Pan smiled at her family, her family, it sounded nice. Now her life was complete, she had a father, mother, a sister, and the best boyfriend she could ever think of Trunks. Pan's life was now complete.
