Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. Only the plot for this story. A Warrior's Quest Part One: Pan's Return Pan landed lightly on Earth after five long years of being away. She smiled at Dende and Piccolo before leaping off the Lookout. Dende and Piccolo rushed to the edge of the Lookout to see if Pan was going to fall to her death. "Hey Nimbus!!" Pan yelled. She landed softly on the yellow cloud when it reached her. "Take me home," she whispered. ************ Mirai Trunks suddenly leapt out of his chair and raced outside where he embraced the woman who ran towards him. 'Pan-chan!' he cried silently. ************ Vegeta, Bulma, Bra, Goten, Trunks and Marron ran after Mirai Trunks, worried about his safety. Since Pan had gone to another dimension, Mirai Trunks hadn't been himself. They watched with confused expressions as he hugged a strange woman. ************ Pan returned Mirai Trunks' embrace fiercely. 'Tru-chan,' she crooned over and over again. She finally raised her head and looked over his shoulder. "Konichi wa minna!" she called, waving. Mirai Trunks released Pan then swung her up into his arms and carried her over to greet the family, the light finally coming back into his eyes and his soul. "She's home!!" he yelled. ************ Bulma gave a glad cry and ran towards her son and the woman he carried in his arms. "Pan-chan!" she called, waving. Vegeta stood calmly and waited for his son and former student to reach him while the others followed Bulma's example. ************ Pan slid out of Mirai Trunks' arms and hugged everyone in turn as they greeted her, a happy smile on her face. "Sugoi Pan-chan! You look exactly like Chichi-san did when she was your age," Bulma said as she pulled back to look at Pan more closely. Pan just smiled. She still wore the tunic she'd worn when she'd trained on Neo-Vegetasei and she wore her long black hair up like Chichi had once worn it. "It's good to be back on Chikyuu," she said. She looked past everyone to where Vegeta stood alone. She was at his side in an instant. "Konichi wa Vegeta-san," she said. "Nani? No 'Veggie-sama'?" Vegeta asked as he held his arms open, a smile on his face. Pan flung herself into Vegeta's arms. "I missed you Veggie-sama. Your otousan is a major stick-in-the-mud," she said to her old sensei. "And when did you meet him?" Vegeta asked. Pan smiled angelically. "I was training on Neo-Vegetasei the whole time I was gone Veggie-sama. It's hard not to meet him," she said and darted away. 'I'm going home to see my family Tru-chan. Wanna come?' she asked as she called for Nimbus. She levitated onto the cloud and smiled at Mirai Trunks. 'Hai Pan-chan. But I think I'll fly on my own,' was the reply. *************************************************************************************************************** Gohan was reading the paper when he felt Mirai Trunks' ki near the house. He called for Videl and his parents and stepped outside. What he saw nearly gave him a heart attack. "Pan-chan is back!!" he yelled into the house when he saw a woman on Nimbus and Mirai Trunks flying towards the house. Everyone ran out of the house just as Mirai Trunks lifted Pan off Nibus. Pan stole a quick kiss from Mirai Trunks before she turned to greet her family. Goku looked from Chichi to Pan then back again. "You look a lot like Chichi does Pan-chan," he said as he greeted his granddaughter. "Arigatou Ojiisan," Pan said and smiled at her grandmother. Chichi returned the smile and hugged her granddaughter. "It's good to see you back Pan-chan. Where were you?" she asked. "On Neo-Vegetasei. I trained with great-ojiisan Bardock, King Vegeta and the rest of the planet for the five years I was there," Pan replied. Mirai Trunks wrapped his arms around Pan from behind and dropped a kiss on her head. 'Does it feel good to be back with everyone?' he asked. Pan tilted her head back to look up at Mirai Trunks with shining eyes. 'It feels so good to be home,' she sighed, leaning back in her love's embrace. She smiled at her father and mother, noticing the slight swelling of her mother's stomach. "When is my little sister going to arrive?" she asked. Videl looked startled. "How did you know?" she asked. "I can feel her ki. She's going to look just like you Kaasan," Pan said, a soft smile on her lips. Videl smiled warmly at her daughter and let Chichi usher everyone inside to eat and drink and talk. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pan slipped out of her room and onto the roof where she met Mirai Trunks. She was immediately swept up into a strong embrace. "I missed you so much Pan-chan. I thought I'd died when you left," he said hoarsely, raining kisses all over Pan's face. "I'm here now Tru-chan and I'm staying for good," Pan whispered as she kissed Mirai Trunks. *************************************************************************************************************** "They're back together again," Piccolo said. Dende smiled and nodded. "I'm glad. They deserve to be together," he said. Then he looked back down at the Earth again.
