Hi! Thanks for the wonderful reviews on the last chapters. I was going to do my homework, but because of those reviews I decided to write this first. I hope this is as good as the last ones. You know that I don’t own Dbz.

"Is this some sort of a joke, Uub?" asked Prince Trunks with his teeth clenched.

"No!" said Uub in shock, "I’m serious! The girls have escaped!"

"Well, let’s search for them," commanded Trunks, "They can’t have gotten very far on foot." So the men of the camp started searching for Pan and Marron. Bra heard that they had escaped and she grinned. Way to go Pan, she thought happily.

"Prince Trunks!" yelled a man holding up a white handkerchief, "This was found a bit downstream, Maybe one of the girls lost it in their hurry to escape!"

"Nice work!" said Trunks, "Search for them in that direction!" The men searched downstream, not knowing that they had been outsmarted.

Meanwhile the girls were riding away pretty fast. Well, at least Pan was galloping on the horse really fast, but she had to slow down every five minutes to wait for Marron.

"Marron!" yelled Pan impatiently, "Stop riding side-saddle! We have to escape, this is not a joyride!"

"But Princess!" whined Marron, "It’s unladylike to not ride side-saddle!"

"What’s more important, being ladylike or escaping alive?" asked Pan.

Marron gulped and tried to put one of her legs over the side of the horse. When she finally got her leg over she complained, "This is so uncomfortable!"

"Aw, be quiet Marron!" said Pan. Marron can get so annoying, she thought to herself. Just then the girls heard some wolves howling in the distance.

"Princess Pan!" squealed Marron in fear, "Was that a wolf?"

"Of cour…I mean… no, of course not, it was a… um…an owl! Yeah, an owl," said Pan. She didn’t want to scare Marron, but it was obvious that it was a wolf howling.

"Oh, good!" said Marron, "Can we set up camp now?"

"Fine then!" said Pan, dismounting from her horse. She threw down a capsule that contained some firewood. Then she lit it and cooked the food over it. Meanwhile Marron tended to the horses.

"Princess Pan, the horse you stole is very beautiful!" she said wistfully. Pan looked up and realized that the horse was indeed very beautiful…

"Marron!" said Pan gasping, "Doesn’t legend have it that Prince Trunks’ horse is the fastest horse in the land? And that it is called Ebony because it is as black as sin? And that it has one white foot? Is this horse have such?"

"Yes!" said Marron smiling, "You’ve stolen Prince Trunks’ very own horse Ebony!" The girls laughed at this. Pan smiled at the magnificent animal that was now her own.

Back at camp Uub rushed into Prince Trunks’ tent.

"Prince, Ebony and another horse have been stolen!" Trunks looked up. He stormed out of the tent with Uub on his heels.

"Where were the girls last seen?" demanded Trunks. Uub led Trunks to the place. Trunks noticed a speck of colour beneath a bush and he grabbed it to see what it was. What he came up with was a red dress much like the one he remembered Marron was wearing. He snarled realizing that he had been tricked.

"Uub, that princess is smarter than I thought," he admitted, "We’ve been searching for two girls on foot, when we should have been searching for two men on horseback." Uub nodded as he also put the pieces together. Uub and Trunks got two horses and set off in the opposite direction of where the men went to search for them.

Pan heard Ebony make a small sound and she looked up from her meal. Ebony was looking off in the direction of Trunks’ camp and Pan dropped her spoon in fear. She got up and mounted Ebony.

"Marron!" she said, "Put out the fire and let your horse go, then hide in the bushes. I am going to ride away from here and hopefully they will chase me. If they catch me then I want you to return to Chikyuu and get my father to come and get me. Okay?"

"You mean they’re already on our trail?" gasped Marron putting out the fire.

"Yes, goodbye Marron!" shouted Pan as she took off on Ebony.

Trunks spotted her ahead and he speeded up. He knew it was Pan because Marron was too timid to ride like that.

"Uub, you go find the blonde Duchess," Trunks yelled back. Damn, she can ride, he thought admiring how fast Pan was going without a saddle. He was catching up to her though, and she looked back in fear. Trunks peered into the night and saw that she was about to ride off a cliff.

"PAN STOP!" he shouted, but she only went faster. Pan tried to jump over a tree log but Ebony reared up and sent her flying to the ground. Then Ebony plunged into the darkness below.

Pan gasped when she realized that there was nothing beyond the log but a steep fall. She backed away from the edge and got up holding her aching arm that she had fallen on.

Trunks dismounted as ran up to her. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard. "Damn you!" he shouted, "You killed my horse!" Pan tried to pull away from him, but she couldn’t.

"Don’t try anything stupid!" he warned her, "You have caused me enough trouble!" So Pan let him drag her onto his horse and take her back to camp.

* * *

Marron sat hidden by the bushes trembling in fear. She knew Uub was looking for her and she preyed that he wouldn’t find her. Her heart was pounding as he approached her hiding place. If only I were as brave as Pan, she thought, Then I could leap out and attack him. But Marron was afraid and when Uub pulled aside the bushed and said, "Gotcha!" Marron fainted. Uub took her back to camp.

Okay, I might have chapter 5 out soon, or if you’re reading this in the future it may already be out. Please REVIEW!
