Universe 20

Pan stood shocked as she stared at the two suns and the giant planet she knew was Vegita sei. Beside her Gomen was was fidgeting. "I'm guessing that's the first sign," he said scratching his neck awkwardly. Images of herself with a tail slammed into her head. Of her practicing flying and of her standing up to keiko a Ginu force lacky. That didn't surprise her. What did was that for a moment a black haired trunks with short and black eyes flashed into her vision. She was curious about him. He didn't seem arrogant despite him being a real prince. Looks can be decieving though.

She had memory of him helping her save her mother and helping her walk later as she played innocent with the tail bit. He helped her a total stranger. She shrugged maybe he was nicer but that didn't change this trunks if that was his name even. She knew him as the Prince.

Beside her Gomen seemed to snap out of his own trance and started laughing. "I had to teach you how to fly," he said grinning. Pan smiled. She had been the one to teach him here.

"And were you a good teacher?" she asked as their phones rang.

"The best. You learned to fly in two days!" he said as he plucked his phone off his belt.

After listening for a minute he nodded. "We'll be right there, mom," and hung up. He turned to Pan. "The z fighters are all at Bulmas now. I think we should tell them about Mr Bright and his fatalistic predictions," he said brows crinkling in thought.

Pan nodded and they raced for a silent corner of their school and took off.

The twins were agreed to tell Vegita sensei about the man. Bulma was too analytic and their parents would probably think it was all a dream they had while in a death state. It came down to the King of all saians believing them. They landed in Bulma's back yard and Gomen felt his twin tremble slightly. He took her hand and led her inside. Everyone was arguing. It was a big fight between Bulma, Gohan, Trunks and Bra who Gomen noticed was being held back by Uubu. So she's made her choice and it wasn't me. At least it wasn't my uncle. She was smarter in choosing a mate but not by much.

They walked to the silent sentinel in the corner watching the stupidity of the fight. Surprisingly Gohan was closer to the truth this time than his wife. It had to do with the universe but it wasn't collapsing. He watched as his students approached him. Pan stood as any general would while her brother tried and failed to keep his eyes off Bra's new boyfriend. He guessed it was the last straw for him too. His children had lost excellent mates to their vices. At least Bra picked a good stand by.

"What is it brats?" he asked one brow raised.

Gomen seemed to come out of his funk then. "Vegita sensei we know what's going on," he said.

"Two universes are colliding. We met the Pan from the other universe and we were told about various things but we wanted to make sure it wasn't a trick. The kai said he would contact us all again," said Pan as she watched her father nearly strangle Trunks and smirked.

Vegita hmmed. They had been cautious and he couldn't blame them. Their bed time stories had been about Maajin Buu and the Cell games.

"When this Kai presents himself again, I want you to invite him to the Z senshi's with my permission given. We need to sort this if it can be stopped," he said. The twins nodded and began to ask him a uestion when the scream of Chichi's broke through the shouts. "Goku sa! I planned to make myself younger but this is ridiculous!"

The others went to see what the heck was going on to see a child Goku scratching his neck nervously.

"Um guys we have a big problem," he said smiling nervously.

"When are you not in a problem Kakkarot," Vegita mumbled.

Pan and Gomen glanced at each other. "I think we're going to need that aging ray after all," muttered Pan as Gomen nodded grinning.

"On it," he said, taking a green capsule out and walking over to Bulma's large work desk uncapsuled a huge planning map already half done. They got to work. Pan grabbed a pencil and began working on the calculations for the machine parts and the programming while Gomen took everyday pieces and converted to new use to power the machine. Everyone left them alone while they heard Goku's story of Pilaf wishing himself younger and turning him and Mai to babies while he was turned to a kid. The worst was tht the dragon balls used were the galaxy dragon balls and they now had to traverse the galaxy while searching for them.

Finished," said Pan wiping her brow of sweat.

"We need an engineer room to build this in," said Gomen stunning the adults.

Pan laughed. "We knew aunt Keiko was going to use the young ray and had already been making a machine to grow her back," she said nonchalantly as if building a brand new machine never thought of could actually be the easiest thing in the world. Both Bulma and Trunks knew it wasn't. The twins truly had a gift.

They were led to a large engineering room near the back and began construction of the ray.

"Hmm it works best with moon rays, grandpa's tail is gonna have to go, " muttered Pan from under the large ray.

Gomen nodded. "Who's going to test the ray before grandpa?" he asked screwing a difficult piece in place while the machines around them melded two pieces together. A shape much like an indoor Sauna was taking hold.

"Kay sis program the ray and it should be good to go!"

Pan nodded and sat at the expensive computers. She took out a capsule marked with crossbones and out came her small laptop which she connected to the mainframe. Through it she programmed all the others to her wanting.

"Try it now!" she called as Gomen placed a catterpiller on a chair inside.

"Hit it Pan!" he said lowering his eye glasses. She did and the ray hit the caterpillar much lke a shower would bathing it in light. The catterpilar made a cristalis and then out came a butterfly before it exploded.

Gomen blinked. "Thank Dende that wasn't grandpa, he muttered before switching to another catterpiller and trying again this time with Pan lowering a few frequencies. On it went for days. Finally when Goku trunks and Goten were ready to go into space. The twins made a break through and whooped for joy. They rushed to the others dirty from days without bathing and told them the ray was ready. Chi chi cut off Goku's tail while Vegita, Gohan, and Goten held him down. Then they stuck him in the machine and prayed.

The machine let out a lot of smoke as it finally ended and Pan and Gomen hoped their granpa was safe. From the smoke stepped out a grown if younger Goku and the twins High fived each other. The ship was ready to go and Keiko was making out with Trunks which made Pan feel as her heart was being squeezed. She prayed for the day that she wouldn't feel the agony.

Gomen was taking in the way Uubu was saying goodbye to bra. So tenderly. He squeezed his fists and sighed. Now I know how sis feels.

It was decided that Trunks and Bra would be going with Goku since they knew more about what they were getting into. Bra had reached super saiyan while the twins were making the ray and Trunks wouldn't let anything happen to his sister. Pan and Gomen watched as their grandpa and their recinded mates took to the skies in search of the galaxy dragonballs before

finding corners around the household and dropping dead asleep.
