A/N-Thanks for all those who have reviewed, I am sorry about not updating this for along time
Yamcha looked at a mirror that was in front of him, and sighed deeply. He was wondering how the heck he was going out with the granddaughter of a person who at one time was 3 years younger then himself. Things just were not as he figured them, but then again, he knew that there was little he could do to change any of it, and maybe it was a blessing that the accident had happened at sent him to this point in time. He knew that his friends were still alive, and he had to admit being years younger then them was kind of funny. He also wondering who he was going to get through the day unharmed. He knew that Goku would be ok with him going to the party with Pan, but Chi-Chi he was unsure of, he wonder just how protective that she was over her granddaughter, and then there was uncounted for which were her parents which he had only meet once, and he had no idea on how they would react to his dating of their daughter.
As he looked at the mirror he straightened his red tie, he had decided that it would be best to wear a blue suit that was similar to the one he wear when he went to the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament. He smiled at himself, trying to gather the confidence that he would need to get though any problems that would pop up in the day. As he finished getting ready he heard a nock at his door.
"Stupid salesmen, don't they know when to leave people alone," Yamcha said with a bit of anger in his tone.
When he open the door he was prepared to berate the unknown salesmen, but instead he almost past out, for in front of him was Pan, but unlike normal where Pan would were here normal tomboy styled cloths, she was wearing a long fancy black dress, that fit her perfectly, and she had her hair down as well.
'um.um.um…" A wide-eyed Yamcha stuttered as he saw the dark hair young demi-saiyan.
Pan was about to break out laughing at the response that Yamcha gave her, and it told her once and forever tells her that Yamcha really no player at all. A player would never get so nervous around a woman. She though knew that she had to get him out of his trance, and clapped her hand right in front of his face.
"Oh, um well, I am sorry, I was not expecting it to be you," Yamcha said still looking nervous, "Oh I was expecting you would be that stupid annoying salesman who come around all the time."
Pan laughed at the forgetfulness, of Yamcha, she also realized how the first part of the statement could be taken in a different way, and could see why his stupid statements would get him into trouble. She smiled at him though, "Well then I think we should get on are way then, I wouldn't want to be late, may not be any food left."
"Oh yeah, Goku can sure eat a lot," Yamcha said walking out of his house.
On the way to Goku's house the two of talked about small minor things such as plans for the future of the dojo, and ideas that Yamcha had to increase the number of students, by improving advertisement, and making new commercials for the dojo. The talk was on basically everything but the party, which was mostly because Yamcha figured that if he avoided thinking about the problem with it, then it would just go away. That of course did work, and of course would end up at the Son's house.
As Yamcha got out of the air car he was traveling in he saw Krillin standing behind a grill with a 'Kiss the Cook' apiarian on as well as a tall chiefs hat on his head. Krillin smiled and waved when he saw Yamcha and Pan.
In front of the grill was a hand full of tables that were set up for a large meal. Sitting at one of them was a small green guy who he had learned was a Namekian name Dende, the one who took the place of Kami, as guardian of the planet, everyone else was no where in sight.
"Hey Yamcha, it is a honor to meet, you, I have heard a lot about you," Dende said walking up to Yamcha with a smile.
"Well, it is an honor to meet you, your guardianship," Yamcha said, not knowing what to say to the guardian.
"Well just call me Dende, and what do you think of this time period, is it much different then the one you came from," Dende asked in a polite tone.
"Well it is different, in a lot of ways it is better, then I do miss the fighting of the old days," Yamcha replied, "Well um where is everyone, I figured they would be around here."
"Well you see, they are all sparing right now, and of course the females are gossiping in the house while they work on this massive meal."
"Um Krillin, then why are you not out there with them," Yamcha asked turning to his old friend.
"Well you see, I don't fight anymore, and those saiyans are way to strong for me, but for some reason Tien still trains, and is fight out with them."
"Figures that guy would fight anyone even if he knew they were stronger then him."
Pan smiled as she watch Yamcha interact with the other, happy that he was not to nervous. In fact he was acting like it was just a normal day.
"Hey, Pan did see you, I hope you like this food, I put a lot of work into it," Krillin said with a smile, "Hey Yamcha are you here on a date with little Pan?"
"Well um, I am guilty as charged," Yamcha replied with a half smirk hiding his nervousness for when the other would get back.
"Oh Pan you here, this is great," A voice said from the house, Yamcha turned around to see that Chi-Chi in her normal traditional dress had Pan in a rib crushing hug.
"Hi Grandma, it good to see you as well," Pan said weakly.
"Well, you better of been taking care of yourself, and I heard that you had a date, I want to meet this lucky man, do I know him," Chi-Chi said oblivious to him standing right next to her.
"Hi Chi-Chi, it is good to see you," Yamcha said to get her attention.
"Oh hey Yamcha, have you seen this date, that Pan brought, is he some smart scientist, well as long as he is not a muscle head, I am happy."
"Um well you see, I am the one, who is on the date with Pan," Yamcha said in a nervous tone.
"What you on a date with little pan, but you so um well this is surprising, I have to get back to cooking," Chi-Chi said quickly making her way back into the house.
"Well that could have gone a lot worse," Pan said catching her breath after Chi-Chi's hug.
"Yeah I guess that is right, but it could of gone better too."
"Well you know Chi, she will come to terms with the fact your going out with Pan," Krillin said, "Well feels like Goku, and the other fighters are almost back, better tell the women."
Krillin walked in and second later, everyone who was in the house made a mad rush to put everything in it proper place. Yamcha and Pan just watched in awe at the speed of the women, wonder how some many pretty normal women could be so fast. After the short time that it took to get everything on the table, Pan's mother wondered over and smiled at her daughter.
"So, Pan, why did you tell me you were bring a date, I could of prepare the others for the shock of it," Videl said smiling at her daughter before turning her attention to Yamcha, "Well you better take care of her, or I am sure you will not like what happens to you."
"Um yes ma'am of course I will," Yamcha said with a nervous look.
"Good, well better find something to eat before the other get back," Videl said walking over to a table.
"Yeah, we better move," Pan added.
They were really quite corrected too, Yamcha had gotten a few egg rolls when they all showed up, and in seconds it was a mad dash for food, it was more of a war then anything he had seen even in the fights with King Piccolo, and Pan was in there with the best of them fighting for her fare share.
"It quite a amazing isn't, how they can eat so much all the time," A voiced said from one side of him, Yamcha turned to see Tien land.
"So where is the little guy, figured he would be around?"
"No he had to do some work, well it is funny to think that we used to be the strongest race on this planet."
"Well things change, I mean if Master Roshi was once the strongest, and I could travel forward into time, any thing can happen."
"Well better find a way to get some of that food, before it is all gone," Tien said moving into the fight for food.
Yamcha thought about how strange the saiyans were, and how it was still odd to have more then one massive eater, he did notice Gohan walk up to him.
"Well it seems that my little girl is happy around you, I am glad for that, and I trust that you will make her very happy, I also know what happened a couple of days ago, that has convinced me that you may not be so bad for her, but if you harm you, you will be in other world before you count to one," Gohan said in odd fatherly type tone, which was quiet odd for Yamcha to hear.
Yamcha turned to Gohan and nodded, "I understand, and if I do hurt Pan, then I fully expect you to crush me."
At that moment, a tall guy with a balding afro walked up with an angry look on his face.
"So you are the little wimp who is here with my little Pan, mister you are not worthy of my little granddaughter," Hercule declared, "I won't let you go out with her unless you prove you are worthy."
"Um how do you want me to prove that," Yamcha said.
"Hercule, Yamcha is ok, he is not a bad guy," Gohan said.
"Well you want to prove yourself, and then you must win the World Martial Arts tournament," Hercule said, "To do that you will have to beat me."
"What if I don't want to do that," Yamcha said.
"Then I will take back all my finical support for the dojo, and I am sure it will go under, and I will find a way to keep you apart, I know a lot of people would help me," Hercule said.
"Fine, I will enter this tournament," Yamcha said.
"Good, but be warned you have no chance against the fighters in it," Hercule said before leaving.
The rest of the day went well, but Yamcha mind was stuck on the fact that he would have to win this tournament, he was angry about the demand, but choose not to say anything about it, acting like it was a normal day.
When they arrived back at the apartment parking lot, Pan stopped him before he could get out of the car.
"I am sorry about how things went, you don't have to enter that tournament if you don't want, I am sure that grandpa Hercule did mean what he did, and if he did we really don't need his help," Pan said with a smile.
"No, I can't stand it when people do that, I will enter this tournament, and I will win, but I might need some help from you to get ready for it," Yamcha replied.
"No problem, that will be no problem, when I am done working with you, you will be able to crush anyone that you face," Pan said with a smile, "Well thanks for taking me to the party."
"No problem, it went better then I thought, and I know I will prove that I am worthy of you, stupid olf man," Yamcha said before getting out of his car, to angry to be nervous.
As Pan walked to her apparement she had a huge smile knowing for sure that Yamcha did like her.
