Chapter Ten: Chills and Spills

A/N: I read a fortune cookie today. It said that great fortunes will come to you in time. Maybe that means someday I'll own DBZ, but for right now I don't. Also, the thing that Pan said, I got the idea from my friend who when she gets mad, she cusses alot and it's hilarious.

Ciara had to practically drag Trunks out the store, and she was glad she did. Trunks had sensed the familiar ki of Pan and they saw her fly across the sky in a rather quick motion. Trunks and the girls immediately shot after her. By the look on Pan's face she looked pissed.

"Pan! Are you alright?" Trunks called before he caught up with her. Pan turned around and nodded.

"Your fucker of a fucking friend tried to fuck me and I told him to get the fuck away from me, but he fucking wouldn't stop, and I even fucking told him that I was fucking dating you, but he didn't fucking care and he kept on fucking approaching me so I went fucking crazy and fucking punched him and got the fuck out of there and left his fucking ass behind, that fucker!" Pan screamed angrily. Trunks blinked; it took him awhile to calculate all this information.

"WHAT!" He shouted angrily and shot off toward the condo. The others looked at each other and shot off after him to make sure he didn't kill him.

He kicked down the door and ran through to the living room, in search of his traitor friend who hit on his girlfriend. But all he saw was Uub and Goten staring at him with huge eyes and wide mouths. A chip dropped from Goten's mouth and on the table where it looked like they were playing a card game.

"Uh…." Goten started.

"Where is he!" Trunks shouted. "I know that pussy's here somewhere!" He began to look through all the rooms.

"Who, Trunks?" Uub asked.

"Haketi Sombu! He hit on Pan when she told him 'no'!" Trunks shouted. Finally Trunks realized that he was gone so he slumped tensely on the couch. "Fucking coward. Did he hurt you Pan?"

Pan shook her head and sat down next to him, "No, I think I hurt him. I hit him with a good selection of my strength." She began to rub his shoulders as he leaned back against her.

"You should've chopped off his-"

"Trunks!" Trunks smiled.

"I was only kidding." They both relaxed on the couch while Bra and Ciara joined in with Goten and Uub for a game of poker.

"Hey, we should make this strip poker," said Goten raising his eyebrows in an up and down motion.

Bra giggled, "No, I don't think so Goten." Goten snapped his fingers in a motion that said 'drat.'

"Hey, where's Marron?" Ciara asked.

Uub laid down some pretzels; apparently they didn't want to spend money. "She went to bed before you guys came."

"I wonder how she can sleep through all that yelling?" Goten said aloud.

"She probably woke up, but stayed in bed. That's what I do when my parents are arguing." Bra laid down her royal flush and took the pile.

"Aw, look at the couple," said Uub. Trunks and Pan had fallen asleep on the couch. Trunks had his arms wrapped around her waist and nuzzled his face in her hair.

Goten made fake sniffing noises, "My niece is now a woman." H pretended to wipe his eyes and cry. Everyone laughed at his little skit.

After awhile while everyone was sleeping, the television woke Pan up. She opened her eyes and saw Trunks had his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. Pan smiled. It wasn't everday you saw him like this. She snuggled up to him and inhaled his scent as she slipped back to sleep. Trunks hugged her to him tighter.

Ciara was one of the first to get up. She went in the kitchen in her pajamas and fuzzy slippers to make some coffee. The condo was quite silent and Pan and Trunks had left to their own rooms. The sound of the morning echoed through the silent halls. Ciara took her coffee and walked on the back porch to gaze out at the horizon on the beach. Not too many people were one the beach, just some early joggers and bikers.

She leaned against the rail and the breeze shut the door for her. A yawned escaped her and she felt the door reopen and Bra came out.

"Ohayo Ciara," she said happily. "Beautiful morning, isn't it?"

Ciara smiled, "Yeah. So what are we doing for today?"

Bra leaned up against the rail next to her. The wind blew her hair buck that was already in a messy bun. "Goten wants to go deep sea diving, so we might do that. I wanna see the dance clubs. I hear they're really good." she nudged her in the ribs. Ciara laughed a little. "Oh, and Mom called to tell us about Dad. She said that he landed on some planet of some sort. He usually never calls. Does he act like this in the future?"

Ciara shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah, a little. Me and him are real close 'cause he's the only grandpa I have."

Bra frowned, "What about Gohan? And Goku?"

"Gohan and Videl were killed in a car accident when I was four, and I never even met Kakkarott. He never came back." Bra felt the intensity of Ciara's ki when she talked about Goku. And by using his Saiyan name, showed her that Ciara didn't care that much for him if not at all.

But why hadn't he returned? His son and wife was dead. Chi-chi was dead. His granddaughter was dying. Everything was falling apart, and he still didn't come back? What was so important that he couldn't be with his family.

"All my life I heard how great and wonderful he was as a fighter and a role model. I believed he was too. I use to love how Mom and Dad would tell me all the battles he won and how strong he was, and so proud and fun. He seemed like a great guy." Ciara looked back at the morning sun.

"I just assumed he had died, but when I finally asked how, they told me he didn't. He just left. I was a little disappointed in that, but I knew it was for a good reason, and that he would come back." Bra hung onto every word she said.

"But he never did, and I don't think he ever will. He wasn't even there when Mom was diagnosed with cardiac symmprotronist-corestor. So no, he isn't exactly someone I admire. I don't admire anyone who leaves their family behind."

Ciara looked back at Bra and saw her eyes glistening. "Hey, it's okay. That's why I'm here. To make the future better. Don't be sad." She walked over and hugged her.

Goten opened the door, "Hey, you guys okay? We're getting ready to go deep sea diving with the dolphins." Ciara and Bra followed him inside and got dressed.

They all walked drove down the street in Trunks' and Goten's cars. Ciara and Marron both stared at all the tall buildings while Pan fumbled with the radio. In Goten's car, Bra and Goten were singing to the song that was playing and Uub was in the back laughing at them.

They pulled into one of the piers that said "David's Dive and Find." They all got out of their cars and walked up to one of the fishing boats. Three men approached them.

"Can I help ye?" Said the oldest one.

"Uh, yes. We had reservations for Briefs." said Trunks as he looked around the boat.

"Oh yeah, we have everything ready, so you can just climb aboard and we'll set you up." Said the second man.

They climbed the ship and stood on the dock as they waited for the boat to take off. After they were several miles out in the ocean, the three sailors showed them how to work all the equipment. They changed into their diving suits and set up the equipment on them. Two by two they ell backward into the sea.

It was beautiful. At first they couldn't see anything, except for green and blue waters, but after a while fish began to perk out and Bra took all sorts of pictures.

"Oh, cool Uub's riding a sea turtle!" Bra said into the walkie talkies built in the masks. She took a picture and felt something nudge her from behind. Dolphins had come out to say hi and the six of them had tons of fun with them.

"Hey look! I'm Aqua man! Come to me my minions of the sea!" said Goten as he rode on one of the dolphins. Two of the dolphins kept teasing Trunks by nudging him in the rear.

"Hey watch it you tuna dishes!" He said as he rubbed his rear that a dolphin just nipped. Pan kept laughing at him as one dolphin picked her up. Then there were a million bubbles that came from the direction of the boat.

"Hey, what's going on?" Marron asked.

"I think the boats leaving, or something." Ciara saw as the bottom of the boat grew more distant; it seemed to be going quite fast. "But why?"

"Let's check the surface," Pan swam up and the others followed her as they emerged from the waters. They took off their masks and oxygen tubes as they heard screams from the beach dwellers. A giant eighty foot tall robot was destroying and terrorizing the beaches. Now it was walking over to them. It looked exactly like the robots they fought at the hotel, but bigger and more dangerous.

"Holy fucking Dende!" Marron cursed.

"Everybody! Take off your equipment! Now!" Trunks shouted. They stripped off their tanks and their wetsuits and let them fall to the ocean floor and were left in their swim suits. "It's coming for us! Bra, take Marron and fly away from here and keep away from that thing! Keep safe!" Bra nodded and grabbed Marron's waist and flew off. "The rest of us will lead it out into the ocean and away from the city, got it?" They all nodded.

They flew up from the ocean and towards the giant robotic spider. Goten cupped his hands to his mouth and bellowed, "Hey King Kong! Come and get us shiny!" The robot saw them and started to come after them at great speed as it's legs caused earthquakes as it hit the ground. They flew low to the sea and it followed them. After the horizon of the beach was out of sight they stopped. A massive claw slapped down at them in the water and they all were thrown twenty feet in the air, but caught themselves.

"Everyone! Super Saiyan!" Goten shouted. Trunks, Goten, and Ciara both transformed. Goten was a little surprised to see Ciara a Saiyan, but he couldn't think on it.

Trunks fired an energy ball at the head of the robot, but it did no effect to it. Except that when it hit, Ciara saw who were the drivers.

"It's Haketi! He's behind the machine!" They all looked at it with wide eyes.

"Very good Ciara." Said the older Haketi in the megaphone. "Yes, I am indeed Haketi and yes I also built this robot to perfectly match your strength. Technology is such a wonderful thing." They all just stayed there floating and gritting their teeth. "It's amazing how gullible these people can be. You show up out of no where and earn their trust when they don't even know who you are."

Ciara's heart pounded in her chest. He was up to something bad. "What are you implying!"

"I just think it's funny how all this happened just as soon as you came. You know it had been years since they last had a major enemy until me. Something just doesn't add up, don't you agree? Tell them the truth Ciara." Everyone stared at Ciara waiting for an answer, but she couldn't supply them one. "If you won't than I will. Ciara here has been working for me since she arrived."

"No, that's not true! That's a lie!" She told the others, but they can only stare with misbelieved faces of hurt and anger.

"When Pan was kidnapped, Ciara just stood by and let it happen!"

"No I didn't!"

"She set off those droids to go after you!"

"Stop it! It's a lie!" Ciara started tearing and pulling at her hair.

"If it's a lie Ciara, then tell them the truth!" Ciara's bottom lip shook has hot tears streamed down her cheeks. When she gave no answer, that was enough for Trunks.

"You bitch! We trusted you! AND YOU LIED TO US!" He screamed at her. Ciara shook her head frantically and mouth the words 'no.'

"It was her job to study you guys and supply me with information about each one of you. I must say she supplied me well."

It was too much for Trunks and he punched Ciara hard in the jaw with all his anger. Ciara fell and was caught by the giant claw. The punch wasn't what brought her down. It was the fact that it was her own father that hit her, because he didn't trust her. Her spirit was broken and she passed out as the claw enveloped her.

Haketi laughed. Trunks was about to go after Ciara again because she was the target that he was after, but a pair of strong arms held him back. He didn't know who it was because his senses were gone, but he didn't care. He fought against them as much as he could, but it turned out to be a waste because whoever it was much stronger. "Let me go! SHE BETRAYED US!"

"No she didn't!" Said a gruff voice. Vegeta held back his son. Trunks didn't know how or why he was there, but it didn't matter. He just wanted to get to the person that hurt Pan.

"YES SHE DID! SHE HURT PAN!" He screamed as he pushed against his father.

"Idiot boy! Don't you see! Look at her!" Vegeta pulled Trunks' hair to force him to look at the unconscious figure of Ciara. "Who do you see in her! Who does she look like! Take a good look!"

Trunks didn't know what he was doing. His father was going crazy. But he was forced to look over her unconscious form. The way her hair covered her face as she slept did remind him of someone.

Bull shit! That was Goku's move! Pan's move! Trunks was being plummeted by flashbacks.

I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.

I'm more Saiyan than human

Your kids will be two thirds Saiyan

Trunks let his arms fall limp. He looked back at Pan who looked back at him with the same look. It couldn't be true. But it would've all matched.

"Her Saiyan blood, purple hair, and personality should've made it a dead give away." Said Vegeta calmly. "Her name is Ciara Videl Briefs. Born on January 6, 2010, and she is your future daughter"

No one moved a muscle, they didn't even breath. Pan looked like she was about to faint. Trunks just stared at the claw that had Ciara. He had hit his daughter to be.

"Dende…"was all he breathed as Vegeta let him go. A black orb covered Ciara from their sight as Haketi laughed.

"This is all too good! Like a horrible soap opera except this has no happy ending!" Haketi yelled. Vegeta growled. Trunks seemed to be paralyzed.

"Let her go!" Vegeta screamed.

"Not a chance. This little daisy has caused me too much trouble as it is." Vegeta began to power up. "It's ironic how she left her family to help another. Doesn't that seem familiar?" Streams of gold energy perturbed from the orb, Ciara stood as a Super Saiyan 2.

"I AM NOTHING LIKE KAKKAROTT!" She screamed and began pummeling the droid with giant ki blasts. She flew to one of the claws and ripped it cleanly off. Then she smacked the top of the robot with it and smashed in where the two Haketis were. They both tried to run from her, but she picked them both up from the collar. Both Haketis were now crying.

"Shut up! Take what you deserve like a man!" Ciara shouted.

"Please! Please don't kill us!" pleaded the younger Haketi. The older one just cried.

"Humph." She dropped them into the ocean. "Sink or swim! Either way your going to jail!" Then she turned to face Trunks and Pan. Pan still had tears streamed down her face and Trunks looked lost. She didn't know what to say? 'I'm sorry that you have me for a daughter, but I'm cooler than you think.' Then she heard the gunfire and turned around and saw Vegeta crush a bullet in his hand. Before she could calculate everything, he fired a giant energy ball at him. They ocean exploded and left the two dead, doing the dead man's float.

Nobody said anything. They just stayed there floating until Vegeta broke the silence. "Hurry and let's go! She needs to go back to her time and we need to leave before the stupid reporters come!"
