Chapter 8

Bra couldn't help but notice the look of worry on Pan's face. She honestly had no idea what was going on.

"You okay?" Bra asked slightly worried herself trying to confront Pan, when she noticed Pan's face pale a couple of shades lighter.

"Mhmm." Was the simple answer Bra received as the giant doors flew open and Pan's face paled more, if possible.

In the Throne Room

"Your highness." Pan spoke as she approached the family's thrones, bowing immediately.

Bra did the same, but stating mother and father instead. Bra climbed the steps to her own throne, next to her mothers, and took a sit glancing around.

That's when she noticed him. Wild, black, spiky hair, the same shade as Pan's, now that she thought about it. He had dark eyes much like Pan's as well and Bra was sure that he was her brother. Bra knew one thing for sure, he was the most beautiful man she had ever seen with his boyish features, that most all Saiyan men held, he charming smile, that he had thrown Pan's way, his chiseled body that could openly be seen through his clothing, and she looked at the "bad" boy image he showed in the kings presence by not standing properly, but having his head hanging limply, shoulders shrugged. Bra couldn't imagine the hours it took to perfect that body.

"Uncle Goten!" Pan mouthed with a smile, not wanting to say it aloud, she was sure she in trouble and didn't know what to expect, she didn't want to tick them off more, if they were mad. Whatever the punishment, Goten would no doubt take it for her. He had come to her rescue and she was extremely grateful. She felt like crying and running into his arms. Pan wanted to make everything go away, she wanted everything back to normal. Before the Prince and before this stupid game they were playing. She hated it here and wanted out, now.

"Pan-chan!" he replied back with his Son smile and a nod of his head.

Goten couldn't help but notice the beautiful princess that had entered with Pan. No matter how frightened he was of the king, he could help but stare at her face and the way her curves swayed from side to side as she took her sit on her throne.

She had pretty electric blue hair that was raised high in a sophisticated bun, with curls falling at the side and a lone piece of blue hair in her face which he figured wasn't long enough to stay in the attire her hair was in. Her tiara sat perfectly above her high bun. She sat with such poise, her held head held high as if the world inferior to her and Goten unconsciously lifted his own head.

She bore the same electric blue eyes, except for the lighter shade they held, as she stared into him, probably devouring his body as he was hers, in her head. When their eyes met a spark had ignited within them, something that they had never felt before.

"Mhmm" The prince and king both faux coughed, clearing their throats in the process.

The prince's was more directed to Pan, who was off in her own world, thinking of the worst possible punishments she could receive, while the king's was directed to Goten and Bra who were staring each other down. Their eyes quickly adverted to other places, Goten's at the ceiling, while Bra's was at her shiny white heels.

"We have an issue at hand." The king spoke loud and clearly, his voice boomed through the room. Everyone turned to face him. He stared daggers at Goten before he continued.

Everyone nodded in agreement at the king's statement.

"If no one is aware of it, then I shall state it for the record."

Pan could swear that she was sweating bullets.

"Son Pan, of the city of Ukog, is being charged with treason on the account that she lied to Prince Trunks, of Planet Vegeta, on the matter of her name, which she has accused it to be Penelia." The King said in a bored tone, when actually he found this quite amusing.

With those words said, the room heard a snicker come from a certain spiky haired man, and he once again was glared upon, this time by the prince, and quickly shut up.

"Normally, I would take this issue none too lightly, but it has come to my attention that the prince would like permission to call your punishment since he is the one who you have lied upon." The king said this with a smirk.

Bra and the Queen Bulma looked on with great interest at the drama that was unfolding.

This was the most action they had seen in months.

Pan looked over to the prince who was smirking happily at her as he cleared his throat to speak.

"Father, mother, I have made my decision on what her "punishment" has to be. I would like Son Pan, of Ukog, to stay in the castle as mypersonal servant until further say. She must do as I say or far worse shall come to her as a result. I don't know, I was thinking maybe torture in the dungeon?" He said the last line very unprofessionally aiming the remark to Pan.

Pan was shocked. She had thought of way worse punishments than he had given her. She was silently rejoicing but than realized she would be spending ample amount of time with the prince. 'That's a bad thing?' Pans inner self thought. 'YES!' she screamed back, mentally slapping herself.

"Anything would be better than being his personal servant!" Pan voiced. "Take me the dungeons, give me 40 lashes, just don't make me stay withhim!" Pan pleaded.

Goten couldn't stand to see his niece suffer as he saw the tears roll down from her midnight eyes, so much like his own, to her now rose cheeks, which the rant had bought life back into.

"Your majesty, may I, Son Goten, take the punishment for her?"

Hardy laughs filled the room after Goten's words, causing him to look at them, confusion plain on his face.

"I…don't…think…" The king said between gasps of air and wiping away his laughter tears.

"That…you…would…be able to…take her place" The prince finished the king, mimicking him wiping away the laughter tears and gasping for breath, and bursting into another fit of laughter.

"Is there another punishment?" Goten said, annoyed by the laughter. He promised that he would bring Pan home when he left and he never broke a promise.

Flashback

It is late autumn outside. The leaves cover the ground and the wind whistled in young Goten's ear.

A 12 year old Goten hears a fall and the rustle of leaves a short distance away in the forest, from where he is standing at the riverbank. He hears a little girl's scream and instinctively knows who it belongs too.

He ran to the tree where he left his little Panny playing with a pile of leaves and now she lay on the ground screaming her head off, while holding her arm.

"Panny are you okay?" He hurriedly asked as he slid to the ground on his knees to her side, leaves flying everywhere.

"My arm Uncle Goten! It hurts soo bad!" she wailed the highest her 8 year old long would go.

"What happened?!" He asked as he tried to look at her arm but she kept it neatly tucked in her sweater pocket.

"I tried to climb the tree like you and daddy do and I fell and hurt my arm real bad!" She said in a whiny voice, sniffling.

"I promise to never let you get hurt again by anything or anyone. I am your protector." He said in a macho voice trying to get a laugh but only got a teary half smile.

"Promise?" She said as she lifted her big baby eyes to meet his maturing ones.

"I promise." He said. "Come on Pancake, let's get you back to your house." He said with a fake smile while picking her up.

"Don't call me Pancake!" She said in a pouty voice, as she rested her head on his chest, his shirt sucking up her tears.

Flash Forward

Goten promised himself he would never see her cry again.

"No." The prince stated firmly and with that Pan was lead away back to her room.

"Please! Wait!" Goten tried to stop the guard who turned." I promised her parents that I would return with her or return not at all."

"Well her punishment is as said and when she has completed it she will return home." The king said in a stern tone.

"But I promised." Goten muttered head slightly hung.

"Well it is a promise you have broken." Spoke the prince as Pan sadly marched away.

She had remembered the flashback too.

A/N:Sorry about the ending and the flashback and the sentence she had to face. I hope they weren't too lame.
