-Get Out (Jojo)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pan, we need to talk to you" Videl said quietly to her daughter as the family of three sat at the dinner table. Uh-oh, something is wrong… "Your father and I… have decided to divorce."

"What?" I know that they fight a lot… but a divorce?

"Pan… there's more, we… we're both moving out of here… your father found a better job opportunity… in Hong-Kong, and I found a new job in Toronto, Canada."

"We're moving?" oh no… Trunks… I might never see you again…

"You have a choice, to go to Hong-Kong, or Canada," Her father informed her.

That's not true! There's a law that says that I don't have to leave! I'm over 18! Liars.

"That's not true! There's a law that says that I don't have to leave! I'm over 18!" She yelled.

Gohan and Videl looked surprised. "How do you know?"

"When Goten was studying law, I studied with him, you lied to me!"

Gohan and Videl looked guilty, as if they'd been caught as criminals. Gohan began to say something but Pan stopped him. " I have already decided; I just need to speak to Goten."

She stood up and left the room as she grabbed the wireless phone. As she reached her room, she punched in Goten's number and waited.

"Hello, Goten." She said as he finally picked up the phone, after five rings. "Hey Panny, I know, they're separating. I'm so sorry,"

Goten continued. "Listen Pan you know law, if you want, you can stay with me, the offer stands, that is, if you choose to stay."

"Oh, Goten, you're the best uncle ever. I want to, I really do, thank you!" She was dizzy from all the happiness she felt. "Oh, Panny, you know that I love you, so tell your parents and then get everything fixed. Oh, I uh, sort of…"

"Got to go?"

"Well, I have work so, yeah, pretty much."

"Thank you so much! So then, I'll see you around, right?"

"Right, bye!"

She ran down the stairs, "Mom, dad, I told you that I made my decision, I'm staying with Goten."

"Pan… you can't just leave us…"

"Why not? Okay, my memories as a child were lovely with you and dad, but now… all you do is fight, and treat me like a 13 yrs-old! Guess what? I'm 19! Legally you don't have custody over me anymore, so I can just walk out, but I won't… I'm asking you this, will you let me stay with Goten?"

"Pan… we have to talk about it…" Her mother looked at Gohan. He nodded, give us till tomorrow, please…"

"Alright…"

"Good night, Panny, we love you…"

"I know you do…"

The next morning Pan asked them about it. They said yes on one condition, that is. "I know that you'll go and see Trunks… tell him that I'm sorry for the way that I talked to him… and you can stay here… if you promise not… to hurt yourself…"

"I promise" The three pieces of a once beautiful family smiled.

"Bye mom, bye dad, I'll miss you…" Pan hugged her parents. "I love you." Then they hugged the rest of the Son family. "Bye…" they all said to the two, as they boarded the plane. "We'll miss you…"

"Hey, Goten, lets head home, okay?" Pan said as everyone else in their family left the airport. "Sure let's go." They headed into the parking lot and got into the car. The drive home was silent and it gave Pan time to think.

Promise me that you won't get hurt… that's what mom said… I told Goten and he said that they were right… but are they? Lately… I've been feeling an urge to do exactly the opposite of that… I hope that I can… that I can keep my promise…

I'm sorry, I ran out of lyrics! Please don't hurt me all you powerful saiyan readers out there! (Kawaii hides in fear) But if you get any ideas, they're more than welcome, Roght now, anything that has to do with love and surprise would help a lot!

Love,KawaiiYamato
