No I haven't died, but my computer did. So I got a new one (happy dance)! I finally got my Brats off of it so here you go!

Chapter 24

Pan shook her head. What was the world coming to? Goten with a plan? Before she could reply Goten had zapped into the room. Pan realizing her dress or rather lack of it throw a pillow at him and pulled up the cover to her chin. She snuck her hand out to turn on the lamp on her nightstand.

"Are you crazy?" She asked "do you know what time it is here?"

Goten shrugged, "No," he said bouncing on the bed excitedly. "Don't you wanna hear my plan?"

Pan rolled her eyes, "You mean the great 'Bra wants me bad plan but Vegeta will kill me'?"

Goten frowned no one took him seriously. "It would benefit you also."

Pan sat up straight, "Start talking."

Bra awoke for the first time in days without pain. She groaned as every muscle in her body ached. 'No wonder they call it the curse.' She thought as the door to her room opened her mother walked in with a tray of food and she was surprised to see that her father was with her.

"Feeling better?" Bulma asked relieved to find her awake and coherent. Bra tried to move her arm and was surprised to find that she had been shackled to the bed. Bulma instantly removed them.

"Sorry sweetheart, It was your fathers idea." Bulma said glaring at Vegeta. "He was afraid that you would sneak out to run around in the woods or something."

Bra looked puzzled, "Why would I do that?"

"Its tradition." Vegeta spat as if that explained everything.

Bulma shook her head not wanting to get into another argument right now. She took her equipment and made a quick assessment of Bra. She smiled widely. "Well it looks like everything is back to normal!"

Bra stared at her parents as she bit back tears. "Are you crazy? You sound as if everything is just fine, well it's not! Do you know what I've been through? And it's all because daddy has too much pride to let me be with Goten!"

Bulma and Vegeta stared at their daughter in surprise, they had discussed this already. Also during her outburst she had launched her food try at them. Vegeta's quick reaction batted the tray away where it slid down the wall but it did not prevent food and beverage from hitting them.

Angrily Vegeta wiped the noodles from his face as he stepped over to his daughters bed side. Bulma stood behind him in tears.

"Listen here brat! You are from a warrior race. A little pain is not going to kill you! As for Goten I would rather you mate with a human!"

With that he stormed out of the room before he did something that he would regret.

"I hate you daddy! I HATE YOU!" Bra screamed at him down the hallway.

He sighed. Why did she have to grow up?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Goten smirked, "What if you and Bra were older?"

Pan looked at him oddly. "Like how much older?"

"Two years."

Pan looked confused. "Well I'm sure that would help, but it wouldn't solve everything. Besides it's impossible."

Goten smirked, "Actually it isn't."

"What you have a time machine or something?" Pan snorted

Goten looked thoughtful for a moment. "No, but that's not a bad idea."

Pan rolled her eyes. "Goten, I'm tired, I don't have time for your stupid games."

Goten frowned. "It's not a game, and it's not stupid."

Pan shook her head, she had hurt his feelings. "I'm sorry Uncle Goten but even if we were older there would still be obstacles. Like Vegeta hating your guts."

Goten smiled at this. "He doesn't hate me. He just has to get used to the idea that's all."

"Okay what's your plan?"

Goten smirked, "The room of Spirit and Time."

Pan stared at him, "The what?"

"The room of spirit and time." Goten repeated slowly as if that would help.

Pan growled, "I'm not an imbecile Goten! I heard you I just don't know what your talking about!"

"Your dad told you about it, he used it during the cell games. It's a door to another dimension. Anyone who enters ages one year for each day they are there. The limit is two years."

"So you want to kidnap Bra and go into the room with her?" Pan asked.

Goten shook his head, she wasn't getting it. "No, we're going to get Bra and you and Bra are going into the room together."

Pan sighed, "Why does this sound like a bad idea?"

Goten shrugged.
