It was still dark when Pan awoke. The entire cabin was black, and she wasn't sure if 17 had come back. Secretly she hoped he didn't. She didn't want another nightmare about Super 17.
Getting off the bed, she walked to the window and could see the sun peeking through the mountains. Must be close to sunrise.
When she was young, she would sneak out her window, and watch the Sun rise. She found it relaxing. She started doing it more often after Super 17 attacked. Now with the day-nightmare she had, she needed something to calm her.
Sitting on the wooden roof, covered in a blanket, she saw the sun rise, making her instantly feel better. A small smile came to her lips. "I suppose you enjoy watching the sun rise as well." Looking to her right, she silently groaned as 17 sat beside her, not looking at her. "I thought you were watching the animals?"
"The poachers don't arrive this early." he replied. Pan nodded. He was quiet for a moment. "Pan, can you answer a question for me?" he asked.
"What is it?" Again, silence for a moment. "Why were you crying yesterday?" Pan was taken back by the question. "I don't want to talk about it..." she said, grabbing her knees, turning away. "You clearly need to talk to someone. Even if I'm an android, it doesn't mean I don't care."
"17, I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. It's something I... don't want to remember."
The silence returned for what felt like hours, and the whole time, Pan thought 17 would randomly attack her. Somehow get his murderous personality back. "Does it have anything to do with what you said when I first met you?"
Pan looked at him. "What?" The android turned to her. "When we first met, you were in fear, that much was obvious. You told me that I nearly killed your grandfather and Trunks, then said I killed Krillin, Gero and someone named Myuu. During your panic attack yesterday, you kept screaming that I'd pay for trying to take your family from you, that I was nothing but a monster from hell."
She was shocked. She didn't remember saying anything when attacking the fake Super 17. The look this 17, this pure-hearted android gave her said she had no reason to fear him. This wasn't the monster who nearly killed Grandpa. So she told him the story.
"It was... a monster like you from my world. There was two of you... A hellfighter version, and one on Earth. The you on Earth attacked Trunks, then informed him of a large hole in the sky. It was Hell. The you on Earth and your HellFighter made a breach, allowing all my Grandpas enemies escape. When the two copies of you met, you became a monster that lived to kill. It took my grandpa everything he had to defeat you, and he probably would have lost if 18 didn't help."
Pan was trying her hardest to not have a panic attack. And true to his word, 17 listened to the whole story. Once she finished, she nervously looked at him, as he gave her a very serious look.
Reaching his hand up, he wiped away the tears that had began pouring out her eyes, giving her a soft smile. "I'm not that android. I'm different."
