I chose to let Videl teach Pan to fly to strengthen their relationship. Videl is cool. She would be a cool mom, where as Gohan is a geek. nuf said.
Chapter 22
Pan looked at her mother in surprise.
Videl smiled. "You do want to learn how to fly don't you?"
Pan nodded. "What about father does he know about this?" Pan asked.
Videl smirked, "No. I hate to admit it but your father isn't a very good teacher. It took him weeks to teach me how to fly."
Pan smiled at this, "Maybe he just wanted to spend extra time with you."
Videl blushed as she remembered his 'lessons' "I never thought of that. Anyhow lets get started." She said to change the subject.
Pan nodded as she stood in front of her mother. It was almost like a mirror image except for Pan's dark eyes. "Okay close your eyes and concentrate. Try to feel what is going on inside your body."
Pan did as she was told but didn't feel any different.
"All living things have energy, you have to learn to harness this energy. Hold out your hands and try to bring it out." Videl said.
Pan took a deep breath and tried to concentrate. Videl's eyes widened as a large ball of energy appeared in her hands. Videl gasped in surprise. "That's amazing Pan!"
Pan felt dizzy and her knees buckled, dropping her to the hot sand of the desert. She revived quickly least she be fried to a crisp. "Hot, hot, hot!" Pan said jumping back to her feet. She glared at her mother who was laughing.
"Oh Pan you are so funny! Your doing great! You have loads of energy, must be from your fathers side."
Pan perked up, "Really??"
Videl grinned "You'll be flying in no time."
True to her words, Videl was a firm but patient teacher and after only a couple of hours Pan was airborne.
Pan smiled looking down on the ground at her mom. She watched as a bird flew by and laughed. "I'm flying! Come join me!!"
Videl hesitated for a second before joining her daughter in the sky.
Pan smirked "Race you!" She said taking off into the sky. She was shocked when Videl caught up and passed her.
Videl laughed again, "Don't worry sweetheart, with a little practice you'll be flying rings around me."
Pan nodded as she slowed down. Neither of their speeds even came close to how fast Trunks was able to fly. Pan looked down, flying was exhilarating but it some how wasn't the same without Trunks. She remembered thinking that she would love to be able to fly by herself but now all she thought of was having his warm arms around her again.
So lost in her thoughts she didn't notice her mother coming over to her. "Don't worry, he'll come back."
Pan forced a smile as they landed. Wearily she climbed in the jet. "Mom, How did you know when you and dad were ready."
Videl sighed, she had been regretting that question. But she thought that Pan needed to hear the truth. "Well Pan, actually it was more of your fathers decision than mine. Though I must admit after the first time I was eagerly waiting for the next."
Pan looked over as her mother took off. "You mean he forced you?" She asked surprised.
"Well not exactly, I mean I wanted to I just didn't think it would happen that fast or be that rough!" She said blushing. "Chi-chi and Bulma said the same thing. There's lots of growling and biting." Videl said as she turned the air on high. It was getting really hot in there.
Pan covered her ears. Too much info!! What was she thinking?? "Okay mom that's enough thanks!!"
"Pan, what I'm trying to say is your almost an adult know. You can make any decision you want to, you just have to ready to face the consequences."
Pan nodded as her gaze returned to the window.

Trunks stomach growled, wearily he wiped a couple of stray strands of hair from his eye. His hair had grown long enough to pull back into a ponytail but some strands still escaped. He had been training non stop since he left Pan.
He missed her. He missed Goten, he even missed his family. He did not miss work however, he smiled ruefully. He hoped it wasn't much longer. He didn't think he could control himself through another heat cycle. The full moon was bad enough.
He heard a wolf howl nearby and he smirked. He would eat well tonight.

Pan arrived home and headed for the shower. She was so confused. She wanted to be with Trunks but she didn't want to disappoint her father. She knew that he was only concerned for her safety, but she could take care of herself.
She climbed out and headed to her room wearily she pulled on her pajama's. Flying sure did use up a lot of energy. There was a soft knock on the door and her father entered.
"How was your day?" He asked sitting down beside her.
"Fine." Pan said disheartedly.
Gohan frowned, "What's wrong?"
Pan felt like crying. "Nothing you would understand."
Gohan smiled softly. "Try me. I was young once myself."
"What do you have against Trunks?" Pan asked him looking into his eyes.
Gohan sighed, "It's not Trunks, I just don't want you getting into something for the wrong reasons. Plus, your too young for Trunks or a serious relationship, You've had a big shock recently you need to think things through first."
Pan bristled, "Too young? Mom was pregnant with me when she was my age. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. As for Trunks, I do know what he's like, and I know that he would never hurt me. As far as being shocked it never would of happened if you didn't lie to me all these years. Now get out."
"But Pan..."
"Just get out!" Pan yelled as the tears she was trying so hard to hold back spilled out on to her cheeks. Gohan reluctantly left the room.
Pan buried her face in her pillow. "Oh Trunks where are you?"

Goten drug his weary body into the house. This sucks he thought as he went into the bathroom to shower. The shower beat down into his open wounds and he bit his lip in pain. His father was more energetic than usual today. He didn't know how much more he could take. The only thing that kept him going was Bra. He knew that she was worse off than he was. After seeing how Trunks reacted to Pan he relished fighting every day. It did keep his mind of her. Well at least a little. He would rather die than lose control and hurt her.
She seemed a little better tonight he thought as he sensed out her ki. Hopefully she would be back to normal soon. Of course Vegeta still wouldn't let him near her. Goten sighed. Waiting sucked.

Pan was awoken by her phone ringing. She answered it sleepily.
"Hello?"
"Did I wake you?" Gotens's voice asked.
Duh, Pan thought but replied no.
"Well good cause I needed to talk to you."
Pan smiled. "About Bra?"
Goten smiled at the mere mention of her name. "Yeah, I've got a plan."
