A/N - NEW CHAPTER! Won't be uploading for awhile, working on some more chapters before I continue uploading any. Hope you like :)

Previously on Dragon Ball C...

"Pan, why did you kick Vegeta?"

"I didn't know it was him. I thought he was a bad guy!"

Conflict ensued during their first day living on the ship as Pan mistook the highly agitated Vegeta as an enemy.

"We only have two days to train Dad, I can't spend that time walking around the room while you guys are fighting!"

"You can't force yourself that'll only end up with you getting hurt"

Making a valid point Pan ignores her father's protests and begins her fight with Goten, that unfortunately had consequences. Find out if their second and final day goes any better, today...

Chapter Five - Day 2

Pan woke up to find herself back in her bed, thankfully not making the same mistake as yesterday by thinking she'd been kidnapped. The first thing she noticed straight away was that she wasn't alone in the room, everybody minus Vegeta was gathered inside the room trying their best to be casual, but her dad's worried expression on his face told her exactly why they were all in here. Memories of yesterday came flooding back to her, space alien, moody veggie, her fight with Uncle Goten...laying helplessly on the floor staring at talking blobs.

Now she remembered, she'd been fighting Uncle Goten, eventually getting tired and slacking on her defence-which in turn caused one of his punches to break through and hit its mark...her. She hoped she had at least put up a decent fight, though she doubted she did, now that she thought about it, it didn't seem as though they'd been sparing for that long before she'd gone unconscious.

"Hey Panny you're awake, how're you feeling?" Gohan asked quietly, worrying that he'd startle her if he said anything too loudly. Pan stared at him groggily, head pounding and sleep deprived, right this moment she despised him, because he was completely fine...except for that goofy face that he couldn't exactly be the blame for in his defence.

Instead of answering his question she decided she'd get out of bed and stop being a masterpiece she knew she was that everyone was ogling at. She pushed herself up, noticing the strain that simple act had on her, then closed her eyes and waited a few seconds for her to catch her breath.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to move around so much, you banged your head against that wall pretty hard" Gohan stated, trying to talk his daughter out of leaving the bed. It didn't seem as though it was working, much to his annoyance.

Pan grunted a response then continued getting up, she pulled the covers off herself then moved her legs over to the edge of the bed so they were dangling just above the floor. She rubbed her tired eyes then stretched, letting a yawn escape her lips in the process. She winced a little as the pain she felt on her nose yesterday came back after that little gesture, noticing that they were staring at her like a hawk she covered it up by pretending she was about to sneeze. Everyone watched as she placed both her feet onto the ships floor and stood up slowly.

"Maybe you should lay back down-" Gohan tried again, but this time he was interrupted as Pan frowned at him and began speaking.

"Excuse me Mr b-o-s-s-y! I am perfectly capable of standing on my own. two. feet!" though as soon as she'd finished announcing that statement her eyes glazed over and she comically fell backwards onto the floor, causing a loud 'THUD' to ensue, echoing throughout the room and offending everyone who was gathered's ears.

They rushed over to her to see if she was okay, Gohan in the lead. After getting confirmation that she was completely fine they stood there in silence, all hovering over her and looking down at her with raised eyebrows.

"I thought you were 'perfectly capable' of standing on your own two feet" Goten taunted, making sure to emphasize on the words he quoted from her. Pan glared at him, but she could tell from the annoying grin he had plastered to his face that her glare wasn't very intimidating from the position she was in.

"Quiet blobby!" she huffed at him, wanting more than anything for him to lean a little closer to her so she could pull on his hair. Goten responded by sticking his tongue out at her and pulling weird faces, and then he turned around and stuck his behind in the air, tapping in with his hand, goading her to hit the target.

Pan was regretting staying on the ship instead of leaving when her Mum did, now she was stuck here with them all and so far it hadn't been going well for her. She ignored her Uncles goading and hauled herself up into a sitting position, being careful not to move too quickly this time, the idea of passing out again and causing her dad to worry didn't seem very appealing to her at the moment.

"Here Pan, let me help" Gohan held his hand out to her and after a few seconds of her refusing to take it; she caved and accepted his help, she carefully got back on her feet and then let go of his hand and stood proud, causing the others to sweat-drop. 'Did she think we wouldn't notice she had help?' Goten thought quietly to himself while rubbing the back of his head.

Pan looked at them all with a puzzled expression drawn on her face, wondering why they were staring at her like that, 'Maybe they're in awe' she concluded, folding her arms and nodding her head while she had her eyes closed from thinking. The others watched as she nodded at nothing in particular, causing question marks to appear above their heads.

"So what are we doing today? More training?" she asked once everyone had recovered and were now going back to acting (what they call) 'casual'. She opened her eyes and looked at them all, waiting for someone to answer her question, but it looked as though they were hesitant about answering. Goten coughed nervously and was about to answer but Trunks beat him to it.

"A-Actually Pan, we're training...you're not - it's just, you're still a kid and we're worried that the hit you took yesterday is still affecting you, so you have to sit todays' training out" he blurted it out as quick as he could, deciding to treat it as though ripping off a band-aid, do it quick and then it's over with. But the look on her face was making him regret ever opening his mouth, for a five year old she was quite scary. Gohan decided it was time for him to say something.

"Sorry Pan but he's right, I mean you already proved to us that you're not fine when you collapsed. I just think it's safer that you stay out of it today, as much as I hate saying this; there's going to be a lot of fighting when we get to Namek so you might as well rest up, because I don't think we can keep you out of it" Gohan had been trying not to think about it too much but he knew he couldn't ignore that fact, because she was coming with them it meant her life would be in danger and he wasn't naive enough to believe he could protect her from all of it.

Pan was stood there looking down at the floor, she hated the idea of being there and not doing anything. She wasn't an idiot, she knew that she was still having trouble from the injury she sustained yesterday, but, since she was going with them she wanted to be of help to them. After all, her Grandpa had taught her to give it everything she's got and not to give in, she knew if he were here now he would allow her to do the training, but with a heavy sigh she reminded herself that he wasn't.

"...Okay, I'll stay out of training today..." she said in a monotone voice, not even trying to cover up her disappointment. Gohan watched her as she continued looking at the floor, no smile on her usually cheerful face making him feel bad, he didn't like seeing her like this.

"Pan I-" he started.

"-Ladies!" Vegeta's voice rang through the air startling everyone.

"We're not ladies" Goten and Trunks mumbled to each other as they made their way out of the room, not wanting Vegeta to come looking for them which would only annoy him and scare them more, not to mention he'd make them pay for taking some time out of his 'precious' training.

"I guess I'd better go too, I need to show a certain saiyan prince what happens when I get called a lady!" Piccolo told the two of them, cracking his knuckles as a smirk crawled onto his face.

They watched him leave the room and now they were the only two left. A silence creeped up on them that they both found uncomfortable, instead of trying to clear the air by talking some more about it Gohan decided it was best to leave her now, that way he wouldn't accidentally say something that he'd regret and she'd be thinking of while he was off training with the others.

"I've got to go, try get some rest. I'll come check up on you in an hour" he leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead then stood up and left the room, leaving her to her thoughts.

Pan waited a while, standing in the same spot her dad had left her in, before she moved back over to her bed. She didn't want to go and watch them as they practiced, that would be like pouring salt on a wound, so instead she decided to listen to what her dad said and get some rest. Hopefully that would speed things up so by the time she woke up hours later she would finally be well enough to at least get some training in.

Pan woke up a while later and immediately felt the relief that sleep had provided, she was no longer in any pain - sure the senzu bean did most of the work but sleeping definitely helped speed her recovery. Her head wasn't pounding anymore which she was certainly thankful for, and her eyesight was crystal clear instead of blurry.

Stretching slowly - enjoying the satisfying sounds her little bones were making - she moved to the edge of her bed and stood up, relieved at not having to worry about standing up too fast.

Pan had no way of knowing the time so she decided to head over to the control room to see if everyone was still training, if they were that would mean she still had the opportunity to at least get a few hours of training in before they made it to Namek.

She stopped halfway through the corridor outside her room to look at the view of space outside the large window, it was amazing. Despite seeing it before she couldn't get over how incredible everything looked out there, it looked peaceful and calm. She watched as a few rocks sailed past the ship heading - who knows where, she took this opportunity to enjoy everything, the peace and quiet, knowing that once they made it to Namek it would be the exact opposite of what it was here.

A noise startled her from her thoughts, it sounded like footsteps. Deciding to have a little fun she hid behind one of the small Capsule Corp. statues, hoping to scare whoever it was as they walked past her hiding spot.

"How long before we make it to Namek?" she heard her daddy's voice ask.

"Not long, I'd say a few hours" Piccolo replied, walking along the corridor with Gohan. Pan stayed hidden behind the statue, not wanting to be caught by them now in case they thought she was trying to listen in on their conversation.

"I'm worried I made the wrong decision with letting Pan come with us, I don't know if I'll be able to protect her" Gohan told him, looking worried.

"Well, it's too late to go back now" Piccolo looked over at him and sighed. "Gohan you worry too much, remember what I said to you two days ago, about having faith in her? I meant it. I know she didn't get a lot of training in during our stay here but she's a saiyan-"

"- Quarter saiyan" Gohan cut in.

"- so when the time comes for the real battle to start it won't matter that she's hardly had any training, she'll fight with her instincts" Piccolo finished, hoping that would get rid of some of the worry Gohan had.

"If anything happens to her..." he couldn't finish what he'd started saying, not wanting to think about something terrible happening to her. "Maybe it was a bad idea to bring her with us, we should have turned the ship around and taken her home"

"Want some advice? You can't protect her from everything, so instead of trying to; you should just do the best you can and hope that she can take care of herself when you can't be there for her" Gohan thought about it for a bit, Piccolo's advice sounded logical but it was easier said than done.

It was hard knowing that he couldn't protect her from everything, and he wanted to believe she could take care of herself but he just couldn't. Sighing to himself he decided that he would try not to worry so much about her, baby steps.

"Thanks Piccolo" he said gratefully. They stopped talking and continued walking along the corridor, oblivious to the little girl who'd been listening to what they'd been saying.

Pan stepped out from behind the statue as their footsteps receded, frowning at what her dad had been saying, 'Does he really regret bringing me along with them?' she thought to herself sadly. Wiping her eyes to get rid of the tears that had formed, she followed after them towards the control room.

Since hearing the conversation her dad had with Mr Piccolo, Pan decided that she wouldn't give him any more of a reason to worry about her, she wanted to show him that she can take care of herself and she didn't need him to protect her. As luck would have it she had the perfect opportunity to do just that, there was still a few hours before they made it to Namek and since she was fully recovered everyone had agreed to let her do some training - even her dad, surprisingly.

She was a little put out though that her opponent for today was Vegeta, she gathered he was still mad at her for kicking him in the head. But she figured since Vegeta wasn't one for holding back (even against a child) she could gain a lot from this sparring match, 'Probably a lot of bruises as well' she thought worriedly.

"Listen carefully brat, I'm not going to go easy on you because you're a kid. But don't worry I'm not going to kill you either, well, not intentionally anyway, if you can't handle fighting against me I can't be held accountable for anything that happens to you, got it?" Vegeta told her, annoyed at having to waste his time fighting with a child.

"Humph, as if you could kill me!" Pan responded crossing her arms and holding his stare. Truth be told what he'd just said made her all the more nervous but she wasn't going to back down, she was far to stubborn.

Vegeta grunted at her before walking to one side of the room, he got into a stance then waited for her to do the same. Pan unfolded her arms then copied him, getting into her stance, she didn't know whether to attack first or let him. It seemed as though Vegeta was waiting for her to make the first move, hesitating for a brief moment, she charged at him.

He batted away her fist that she sent towards his face then punched her in the stomach, causing her to bend forward in the air and gag as the air rushed out of her. Vegeta followed with a knee to her left hip which sent her flying sideways a few feet before she steadied herself.

Getting her breath back she went in for another attack, attempting to catch him off guard by sweeping his feet out from under him, but much to her annoyance he jumped up at the last minute then drilled his foot down onto her stomach, forcing her to the ground. He picked her up by the front of her Gi and held her at eye level.

"This is pathetic, aren't you a saiyan? Stop wasting my time and fight as if your life depended on it you worthless br-" he was cut off before he could finish his taunt as a tiny fist smashed into his face, causing him to stumble slightly and loosen his grip.

Using the fact that he was surprised to her advantage she lifted her legs up and kicked both her feet into his chest to break free from his remaining grip, she flipped backwards landing in a crouching position then sprang back towards him like a bullet and went head first into his stomach causing him to double over slightly.

Not giving him any time to recover she followed through with an upper-cut to his chin that would have sent him flying into the air had she been stronger - instead the most it did was snap his head upwards. Feeling the adrenaline coursing through her she continued on, throwing fist after fist into his stomach, not daring to let up in case he went back on the offensive.

For some reason the gravity wasn't affecting her anymore, as soon as she'd had enough of Vegeta's taunts and had swung for him it was like the gravity had returned to normal, she wasn't feeling that tugging on her anymore and instead of her stamina being drained it was gradually rising higher as she continued fighting.

Pan kept up her attacks to his stomach, getting faster with each hit, then powered up a small ki blast and fired it at him who was too close to dodge and ended up being blow back, landing painfully sprawled out on the floor. He got up after a minute then dusted himself off, it was as if none of her attacks had any affect on him.

He began making his way towards her and Pan readied herself, knowing that he wasn't going to let her off for that. As soon as he was stood right in front of her she panicked and swung her fist at him again, but this time he caught it and held onto it. Everything was quiet, the others had stopped their training as soon as Pan had punched Vegeta in the face before and were now worried about how he would respond.

"...Not bad brat, but you need to work on strengthening your attacks" he let go of her fist then went back to the other side of the room, ready to continue with their training. Everyone sighed audibly at this, relieved that he wasn't mad, Pan especially. She smiled over at her dad before going back into her stance, wondering if he had a little more faith in her now.
