Hi all! Would you actually believe that I've managed to get to chapter eight with only 3 reviews? Not that I'm complaining though. I've only managed to get this far in hope that someone will review, eventually. Don't listen to me read the story!

Air miles

Joyki woke up to Pan's light breathing. He looked over to his bed and saw that Pan was still sleeping and she wasn't going to wake up soon, she had the cover almost right over her head. He looked to his bedside clock and saw that it was only 5:00. He wasn't going to get back to sleep so he grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to have a shower. He was in there for about twenty minutes before coming out fully dressed. He got into his room where Pan was also fully dressed; if you could ever say that her new battle suit could ever make someone fully dressed.

'You could have woken me you know?' Pan said.

'It was 5 o' clock when I woke up and I thought that you could do with some sleep,' said Joyki.

'Well thanks for the thought but I wasn't bothered about getting less sleep, we are going to learn to fly today!'

'Really, sounds great!' Joyki had been mystified about flying ever since Gohan asked him.

'Think of the things we could do once we had learnt how, we could go anywhere!' Pan's eyes were distant and Joyki couldn't quite think of what she was thinking about. 'Joyki, could you go and get my hair brush from my room for me?'

'Aren't you going to keep it the same as yesterday?' after he said this Pan's face was a look of horror.

'I can't start the day without brushing my hair, any way I'll have to tie it back ready for training,'

'Fair enough I'll go and get your hair brush then.' He went into her room and picked up her pink hairbrush as an after thought he grabbed her hair band. He brought them back into his room and handed them to her.

'Great you got my hair band as well, thanks a lot.' They talked until they could hear Videl getting up to make breakfast where they went down to the kitchen to help out.

'What have we got for breakfast Videl?' asked Joyki.

'Pancakes, they should give you two enough energy to get up into the air,' replied Videl.

'Can we help, please?' Pan asked.

'Sure, here mix up the stuff in the bowl and try to keep it all in there. Joyki you can cut up the oranges and the lemons, I doubt that you could cut yourself with that knife but do be careful with it,' Videl said handed over a spoon and knife, then she showed Joyki where the fruit was. 'Cut up about five of each and use the chopping board, right I'll leave you two to it then.' She walked into the other room and turned on the television.

'When we asked to help with breakfast I didn't know that she would get us to actually make it,' said Pan stirring the mixture.

'Just remember you said please,' replied Joyki with a teasing smile. Pan responded by flicking some of the batter right at his nose, and getting a direct hit. They both quickly put down their cooking things as Joyki started chasing Pan around the kitchen, at extreme speed. Eventually Joyki caught Pan by jumping across to table. She turned around in his arms to face him. Her breathing was slightly quicker. So was Joyki's. Their faces slowly came together.

'Are you two making breakfast or what?' shouted Videl from the other room. They quickly broke apart and resumed to preparing breakfast. They had fun flipping the pancakes after Videl showed them how to do it. Joyki was behind Pan with one hand on her hip and the other on the frying pan handle, Pan had her hands on his hands.

'Now 3, 2, 1 go!' said Joyki. The pancake flew up into the air. 'Quick catch it!' The pancake landed square in the middle of the frying pan.

'I see you two have managed to learn how to multi task as well,' said a grinning Gohan who had just walked into the room. This time Pan blushed a deep red and Joyki hurriedly placed the lemons and oranges on the table. Pan flipped a pancake onto a plate and placed it in front of her father then she put another in front of her mother. She poured more batter mixture onto the pans and waited for tem to cook. Joyki motioned her to sit down and took over with cooking the food.

'Right you two know that we are going to teach you how to fly today? Just remember you probably wont get it in one day but with a little hard work you will be in the skies by tomorrow,' said Gohan.

'I'm sure that these two will learn how to fly faster than that Gohan, they already understand the basics of ki, Joyki can score a 210 in the gravity room and Pan can make a pretty big whole in almost anything,' said Videl finishing off the pancake, 'These are really nice, I should get you two to cook more often.' Joyki flipped a pancake onto Pan's plate and his own and Videl took over with the cooking while the two ate.

Eventually everyone had eaten their fill of pancakes, the winner by far Gohan at 23 pancakes.

'Right then we should wait a bit before we got outside and begin to practice so lets talk about you two, you are very close aren't you?' said Videl, Pan and Joyki both nodded, 'that's fine, its not like you are brother and sister now is it? But one thing though, you two are both still very young so I don't want anything indecent for your age happening, alright?' they both smiled and nodded again, 'good now that's cleared up we might as well go through the basics of flying with you two.' Gohan and Videl started explaining about how everything was done and eventually they decided that it was time to put it into practice.

'Right now do as we said, now go!' shouted Gohan, Pan and Joyki both lifted up slightly before falling back down. 'That was good for your first try now throw yourself into it go!' this time they actually managed to get some height but in their sudden burst of joy they lost the amount of concentration they needed to stay up and they both fell back down with a bump.

'You need to concentrate for your first few flights guys now keep on trying and keep your concentration!' said Videl. They both had managed to stay in the air for periods of time in the morning and after lunch they were flying across the valley in no time.

'Don't you hate the feeling you get when you are proven wrong?' Gohan said to Videl.

'Nope, never had it before,' she smiled at him the turned to the kids, 'right then you two, go and have fun but be back by tea!'

'Okay!' they both said flying off into the distance.

'So what should we do then?' asked Joyki.

'I dunno, how about we do some aerial sparing?' said Pan.

'Yeah come on lets go!' said Joyki getting into a fighting stance. Pan came at him with a fast jab but Joyki blocked and went in with a reverse punch. She twisted, blocked and came at Joyki with a hook kick, he caught it and threw her down. She managed to land on a tree bending it back. She stayed there for a moment and the tree sprang forwards sending her straight at Joyki with a flying kick. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to move in time Joyki crossed his arms and braced him self for the attack. It connected with an earth splitting crack and both Joyki and Pan were thrown backwards they recovered and flew back in against each other, matching each other blow for blow. Eventually Joyki managed to overpower Pan with brute strength and he knocked her away. She quickly recovered and put her hands together.

'KAMEHAMEHA!' Pan shouted a bright blue beam came flying towards Joyki.

'Lets play it that way then, GALICK GUN!' his own blood red beam went rushing towards Pan's and they met in mid air. They struggled for the advantage for a time but they had to break off before they actually hurt each other. They fell down to earth next to a waterfall in the middle of the forest.

'Well that was fun, when did you learn Vegeta's move?' asked Pan.

'When he helped me learn the techniques he showed me how to do it.'

'That's pretty cool. You know its nice around here lets stay until tea,'

'Alright good idea, I wonder if there's a cave under that water fall.'

'Go and look I'm going to stay here.'

'Alright see you later,' he levitated down to the river placing his feet on the water and making him self light enough to walk on water. Using a trick he had picked up he split the waterfall at the top. He found what he had been looking for and walked into the cavern. Using his ki he lit the cavern and went exploring.

Pan was lain in the sun drowsily humming to the sound of the splashing water. She thought of her morning and wondered whether she should confess her feelings to Joyki. Or maybe she should wait for him. Yeah, good things come to those who wait.

Joyki could see something reflecting back the light of his ki; it was at the back of the cave. He walked to the luminous object and broke the rock around it.

'Do you realise how cute you look when you sleep?' asked Joyki, he was stood holding something.

'Oh dear I must have drifted off for a minute, what have you got there?' asked Pan pushing herself up with her arms. Joyki sat down right beside her and showed her his find.

'It's some kind of glass ball with stars in it.'

'Wow! It's a dragon ball! You were really lucky to find one of them, how many stars are in it?'

'Five, why was I lucky to find this?'

'You remember what Piccolo said about earth having a treasure well that's one part of it, there are seven of them in all, each with a different number of stars. Grandpa has got the four star dragon ball and the seven star ball is in capsule corp. when you gather up all of the balls a dragon will appear and grant you two wishes.'

'Wow no wonder we have to keep them safe.' Joyki stared at the ball.

'Um I think its getting close to tea, we better get home,' said Pan standing up.

'You're right let's go, race ya,' Joyki got up and blasted off with Pan.

Pan beat Joyki home barely and they stood outside the door waiting to be let in.

'Today was fun wasn't it?' said Joyki.

'Yes it was quite fun you're right,' said Pan. This time it was Joyki's turn, he lent close to Pan a kissed her on the cheek. The door was opened by Videl to a lightly blushing Joyki and a very red Pan, she decided not to say anything though and let them through into the house.

Another nice little chapter with a little action thrown in, to all wondering listeners the pancakes are the thin English ones, which I know how to make and bake. See you all next chapter!
