FLASHBACK

Opening the door of her room, Pan was so happy to finally be home. After her stressful meeting with her mother, granmother, Bulma and Bra, all Pan wanted to do was to get into a very hot bath with bubbles and forget about every little detail about her life. She wanted to forget about her party and her school.

She began to shiver a little as she realised that her window was open wide for the world to see into her bedroom.

" That's strange. I thought that I closed my window before I left this morning for school, " Pan scratched the top of her head and pushed a strand of her long, raven hair from her eyes.

I guess I must have forgotten. Pan shrugged her shoulders. She walked over to her window and leaned out, looking both ways before closing it. She picked up her toiletries and looked over her shoulder at her empty bedroom. An errie feeling admitted in the pit of her stomach. For some reason she felt as if she was being watched. Oh that's just silly Pan. Get a hold of yourself.

She then progressed out of her room and closed the door after her.

She filled the bath tub with extremely hot water and walked over to the sink. She pulled her hair from her ponytail and shook her hair. Slowly she began to peel her clothes from her small yet toned figure. She turned the running water off and dipped her toe into the bath tub. Perfect.

Pan climbed into the bath tub and sunk deep as a small moan emitted its way from her lips. She began to doze into a very peaceful sleep...

FLASHBACK

" Twunks, please don't go!" A little Pan wrapped herself around a surprised Trunk's leg.

" Pan. I'm only going on a vacation. I'll be back before you know it ," Trunks picked her up into his arms and cradled her like a newborn baby.

" You powmise Twunks?" She looked at him with curious eyes yet they showed alot of admiration for him. He thought his heart had melted right there and then.

He beamed his gorgeous smile. " I promise Pan..."

END OF FLASHBACK

Pan's eyes shot open. She couldn't breathe. After a few moments she suddenly realised that she was being drowned. She felt a hand on her head applying pressure, pushing her down. She tried to think but she couldn't. She tried to scream but she couldn't. Pan started to panic until suddenly she burst up from until the water, heaving deep breaths that she was deprived from a few moments ago.

She looked around the bathroom. Pan was scared. How could someone have gotten in? I locked the bathroom door.

Quickly, she jumped out of the bath tub, wrapping a towel around her shaking body. She opened the bathroom door and ran to tell her parents.

" Mum something or someone was there. They were pushing my head under the water!" Pan's hands trembled as her mother held onto her for dear life.

" Sshhhh my darling. It's alright now." Videl closed her eyes trying to keep her voice from sounding wavery with fear.

They both turned their heads to the stairs as they heard pattering of feet. Gohan was shocked that his daughter had come into the sitting area half naked, sreaming. Something must have really frightened her because he knew his daughter was tough and that nothing would scare her like that.

" I've checked all upstairs. It's empty Pan," Pan began to tremble again and let her head drop into her hands. How can it be. They must think I'm going insane. Great Dende, I think I'm going insane!

" Go and get dried dear and I'll come and tuck you into bed once I phone your granmother Chi-Chi." Videl patted her daughters hand, trying to reassure her.

" Ok Mum. Dad could you sit with me for awhile tonight 'cause whoever did this is still out there." Her voice was shaking. Gohan took his daughter's hand and pulled her into a big bear hug, closing his eyes while kissing the top of her head.

" Of course Panny. Now go and do what your mother said. I'll be up soon to see you." With that, Pan turned and ran upstairs. Gohan turned his attension to his beautiful wife who was currently on the phone to his mother.

" Chi-Chi, I've never seen her like this. She is adament that something was there. Yes Chi-Chi. Ok, we will be over at the Brief's house tomorrow afternoon. Yes once Pan gets out of school. Ok, goodnight Chi-Chi ," Videl hung up the phone and walked over to Gohan.

" Gohan ," he could tell that she was indeed panicking. He hugged her while rubbing her back.

" It'll be fine Videl. Go up and tuck Pan in and tell her that I'll be up soon." He kissed his wife and departed into the kitchen to get some coffee. I think I'll need all the coffee I can get. I have a feeling that I'll be playing watch guard all night.

Videl softly knocked on her daughter's bedroom door. She heard a muffled ' Come in ' so she obeyed. She walked over to Pan and tucked the covers around her.

" You'll be fine Panny. You father is going to stay with you tonight." Videl's voice soothed Pan.

" I know mum but I just. I'm scared mum. I..." Videl put her hand up to silence Pan.

" I know sweety but don't be afraid and remember, your not fully dressed without that pretty smile of yours." Videl flashed a comforting smile at Pan and with her delicate hand she stroked her hair. She watched as her daughter drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Who tried to drown Pan and what will the others think when they find out?
