So, how has life been without my wonderful story? Terrible I bet, but I'm back. After about a month, this is going to be updated. I would like to thank everyone for their patience, I much appreciate it. This is Visionary 7, ENJOY!

Chapter 7: T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Mai: 21

Trunks: 16

Goten: 15

Pan: 14

Bra: 13

Things had been quiet over the past month, sort of. Spring had gone, and summer exploded onto the scene. Which also meant, end of the school year!

"Who's ready for some fun in the sun?" Bra asked enthusiastically. Her blue hair tied neatly in a long pony tail, while she wore a brand new navy colored sundress. Although the youngest Brief was happy for vacation, something couldn't help but eat at her. She felt that something was going to go terribly wrong, and soon.

"Not me," began Pan. "I just want to go home and sleep." After the school day ended, her and Trunks stopped by an old ice-cream shop, later meeting up with Goten and Bra at the park. Goten rolled his eyes at his sister's comment. As of late, that's all she would do, come home from school... sleep, eat dinner, shower... sleep again. She was lucky her mother didn't find out that she slept during classes as well.

"Changing the subject." Said Goten, letting out a heavy sigh.

"A little birdie told me that everyone's going to Mt. Poa this weekend." Trunks mentioned, sitting on the arm of the bench, licking away at this melting ice-cream cone. "Also, tomorrow is Saturday." He added after a while.

"Duh stupid, we already know that." Mumbled his little sister.

Pan looked up at her boyfriend, trying to figure out where he was directing the conversation. As the puzzle clicked into place, she threw up her hands, "I freakin give up!" She exclaimed.

The group rose from the park bench, walking on home as bra raised her eyebrow in question. "What?"

Trunks pulled out his phone, activating an app telling dates and moon phases, practically shoving it in her face.

"The full moon is all weekend, dummie." He said. Trunks didn't know whether to be happy or not, especially since he and the rest of the family were going to be at the Son's. 'I can't risk anything with Panna, not that anything has even happened.'

At the split off point on the quieter edge of the city, the four teens said their goodbyes as Goten and Pan lifted off toward the 439th mountain range.

Soon Goten slowed his flight speed so he may be heard over the wind, "you must really like Trunks."

Pan slowed as well and blushed a deep shade of red. "Yeah, so what?"

Apparently Goten's underlying message was not heard as he dropped the bomb. "Stay away from him," he'd said, "mating seasons not over yet, and you're still too young."

"So are you." She retorted softly, just low enough for him not to hear. Pan wasn't stupid, after all, look at who her mother was... Goten always meant well though, but it was obvious who his crush was. 'And they say I'm too young.'

The door opened widely to the sweet smell of ChiChi's home cooking. And from the far edge of the small kitchen, under an almost never ending pile of eclectic foods, was the two young teens' mother.

"I hope you two are hungry, cause I made a lot." She said carrying food from the counter tops. Goten set down his backpack and helped to set the dinner table as Pan took bowls from her mother's arms.

As all of the food was placed onto the table just waiting to be devoured, Goku walked in asking if Gohan and Videl were to join them.

Everyone shrugged their shoulders, not knowing whether the newlyweds were to show.

xXxXxXx

Meanwhile at Capsule Corp, controlled chaos ensued.

"You so like him, don't you?" Mai exclaimed to her young aunt. She sipped her soda, waiting for the interesting answer. Being "bubbly" as it was dubbed, was way out of character for Mai, but recently, she had let her hair down in a way. And it felt good, because for the first time in five years, she was truly relaxed.

Bra sat back in her chair, curled up, with a deep crimson blush sweeping across her face like wildfire. "Maybe, maybe not. Why do you care anyway?" The girl fired back. It wasn't like Bra to be so defencive about such a subject, so she was definitely hiding something.

The two heard a loud crash from the kitchen that scared Mai from her seat. When they walked over to see all of the commotion, they only found... "Oh, it's just my idiot brother."

Ouch. This can only lead to trouble.

Trunks picked himself up from the floor as a threat passed by him. "Can it, before I tell her who it is you really like." He pointed. That shut the young bluenette up quickly. She walked away as Trunks continued to fish through every cabinet, drawer, pantry and refrigerator looking for decent food.

"Leave it to dad to eat everything." He mumbled under his breath. Mai turned away from his direction as she smiled wide.

'I remember you doing the same thing too, dad.' When she turned back around, the oldest Brief was deep in thought about nothing more than food.

Rolling her eyes at the sight she chuckled, "rumor is, that we are going to the Son's tomorrow." The thought bubble inside Trunks' head as he nodded.

As both of her grandparents walked in confused, she thought, 'time to get that plan going.'

"Son," Vegeta began, "what the hell are you looking for?"

"Food." He answered quickly, hurrying around the room, looking for anything. The adults stood still as Trunks continued to run, that was until...

"Ouch! What was that for mom?" Bulma tripped him, thus making him land flat on the floor, face first.

Mai clutched her stomach as her laughter carried throughout the house. Bulma smiled triumphantly as she held the house phone in her hand. "Because it's take-out night, remember?"

xXxXxXx

At the nights end, the time traveler slipped into bed and opened the family journal.

Eight years since the worlds rebirth

Do we ever just get a moment to to sit on the roof, and stare at the stars? To let out minds wander to all of the possibilities the universe holds, outside of our planet. Go an talked about being on Namek, but that's not what I'm talking of. I think of a much broader spectrum, the ultimate adventure. A grand tour of the universe!

- P-Chan

"Its too late now." She whispered. But she hopped from her bad anyway, looking out of the window. Would it be clear enough? Would she remember where to even look? It had been so long since looking above ground had been safe.

Then she remembered that everyone would be in the 439th all weekend, so maybe there was still a chance. Yes, the full moon was arriving, but there was no effect to Mai. Plus, the county side was always clearer than the city.

xXxXxXx

Eleven in the morning. That's how early the Briefs touched down and came knocking on the door.

Wasting zero time, Bulma yelled banging on the door with her fist, "ChiChi, Goku! I know you're all in there!"

"Mother!" Bra hissed harshly. "Restraint, please."

As the genius went back for another round at the door, Pan opened it, looking like death itself.

"Don't you even." She said darkly, pulling her mid length hair from its bun.

'Either she's sick, or exhausted.' Trunks thought as the entire family was lead into the building. When they all stopped at the center point of the smaller, dome-like home, Pan said:

"Cover your ears, this is gonna be loud."

The high pitched whistle penetrated those eardrums around her, making them all grit their teeth and cover their ears. As the whistle ended, Pan opened her eyes and collapsed, with Trunks holding onto her from the back.

Goku walked down wiping the sleep from his eyes. "What are you doing? Get off of Panny like that!"

"Shut up Kakarot, nothing happened." Vegeta said gruffly, crossing his arms. Trunks carried her bridal style up the staircase to her room as ChiChi and Goten came down.

The unconsious Son's brother leered at his best friend, "keep your dirty paws off of my sister." He said lowly.

Eyes locking, Trunks said in the same tone, "I expect you to do the same with mine." They stood there in the middle of the stairs for minuets before Trunks walked the rest of the way to Pan's room.

Sleep overtook her for a while as Pan recovered again waking up close to Trunks. But only this time, she didn't want to remove herself from him. He lay sleeping next to her, silently as Pan brought her nose to the crook of his neck, his scent assaulting her nose oh so sweetly.

It was intoxicating, and it sent shivers down her spine. A moan began to well up deep in her throat, threatening to escape when voices were heard outside of the door.

"What are we to do with them? The full moon is tonight, and there's little room to keep all of them here."

The next voice was softer. "What about this sweetheart, the boys stay at our house, and the girls are here?"

'No! I don't want what's mine to be taken away. What a terrible idea older sister.' Pan thought smugly, accidentally letting out a growl, thus waking the sleeping demi-Sayian next to her.

With her nose still at his neck, she breathed him in once more as she moaned in content. In that moment, Trunks was awake, though not moving, for he enjoyed how their bodies molded so well in such a close proximity. "Panna." He growled lowly in desire, trying so very hard to control himself.

Suddenly the house erupted with noise, bringing the two hormonal teens from their trance.

xXxXxXx

The journal looked a bit odd just sitting there. Had it always had that kind of... tilt? There was only one way to find out.

Mai opened the book carefully page by ever breaking page, sneaking a peak at a picture along the way. At the back, on the inside was an envelope, with a mini capsule and note enclosed.

Sis, look in the capsule. I don't know when you're going to read this, but everything is here! A copy of the file I'm going to show grandma is enclosed. Have fun! If you want to say that.

-Shiro

When it opened up, the large and almost exploding file spread out onto the floor, a loud scream erupted from Mai's lips, causing the home of chaos.

Mai packed up everything back up and decided not to explain what the scream was. A knock on the bedroom door jarred the woman from her thoughts. "What's going on in there?" ChiChi asked.

"Nothing." She lied. "I, I uh, found a mouse. Yeah, just a little mouse." 'Crap, she's never going to believe that one.'

The door opened to find Mai nervously laughing, with one hand scratching the back of her head.

ChiChi couldn't believe her eyes, posed like that, Mai looked just like Pan!

"If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you two were related." The Son woman smiled.

xXxXxXx

Everyone sat outside, either sitting or waiting to spar. Pan pulled her hair up, followed by Bra braiding hers. "Get ready Pan, cause I'm gonna kick your ass from here to kame house!" The thirteen year old laughed, taunting said girl.

Bra Buruma Brief! Watch your language young lady!" Bulma yelled from her and ChiChi's spot of the field. Laughs erupt from the rest of the group, -including the Ox King- as Goten and Trunks rise to spar as well.

Vegeta walked over to Mai and Videl's seats to ask, "have you been trained at all?" Mai's tail tightened around her waist as the second stupid question of the day had been asked.

Her eyes narrowed as sarcasm oozed from her voice. "No, I'm as defenseless as a brick wall, of course I have been trained. Or have you forgotten who my parents are? "

Score: Mai Chi 2, Vegeta 0... Burn!

"Shut your smug mouth. You're going to be sparring against Kakarot's eldest brat." That said, he turned away to senselessly banter back and forth with Goku.

Of course Mai didn't want to get up, but before she did Videl whispered a question. "If its okay to ask, who are your parents?" The half Sayian looked over to her, trying to piece together those three little words.

"Pan and Trunks." She whispered almost silently, so no other soul may hear. The four month pregnant Videl's mouth dropped to the ground as it all started to come together. The reason for her secretive demeanor, and her smart ass attitude.

Roars filled the groups ears as Pan dropped to the dirt. It had been more animalistic than any of them had ever heard. The group rushed to her side as Pan stayed shaken on her knees.

Horror etched upon his face as his little sister sat there in a fetal position, howling in pain. Never had Gohan seen something like this, or the energy spike as it was.

Every fiber of her being felt sharpened like a tack, but how was that possible? The searing pain that raced up and down her spine spread like a rocket, hitting every nerve and exploding.

All around her shock -and caution- overtook. Trunks wanted to badly to comfort her, pick her up and embrace her, taking all of her pain away. But even his father made sure to heed caution.

Again and again, she cried in agony as her family stood paralyzed. Not knowing when it was to end was the worst, or even knowing what the teens body was doing to itself.

Then suddenly, the screaming stopped as her eyes closed like a black curtain. Her body completely limp as it fell to the ground.

Can you guess what happened to Pan? What's Mai going to do, now that she has the capsule? You'll find out sooner, rather than later :)
