(Trunks and Pan's place: eleven and half years later)

"Come on Jade, now is not the time to go soft on me. You where starting to get me there." Cecilia egged on as she hung in the air, golden hair and all. Her red suit battle worn and her hair a mess, blood outlining creasing in her skin that defined her muscles.

"Fine! You want it, come an get it!" Jade barked back looking no better than Cecilia, yet allot worse. Her body flew hard against the one before her, arm swinging out to hit the other. Her fist making contact with flesh as Cecilia's jaw smacked shut. Her knee bending up as Cecilia doubled over her. Jade than flew forward hard, smacking Cecilia against the cold steel wall of their training dome. "Want some more, kid." Jades voice taunted her. Her right hand grabbing Cecilia's hair as she pulled her up. "You know, red is a nice color on you. Though you can never tale if it's your suite or the real thing. Trying to cover your weakness." Jade said smacking her lips before reaching back with her left hand ready to punch Cecilia.

"Now you've done it!" Cecilia road, catching her hand in mid air. Her legs coming up and pushing Jade off her as she slammed both heals in Jades stomach. Before Jade could react, Cecilia quickly doubled both her fist together slamming them on Jades back. Jade could feel her body being slammed into the ground with grate speed.

"Get up!" Cecilia barked down at Jade who strangled getting up. Those last blows felt different, like they knocked the wind out of her. Making her uneasy to stand straight, leaving a stinging pain to throb throughout her entire body. Her eyes squinted as she looked up, "Oh shit, she's gone level two." Jade thought to herself, she's only level one now.

"Triple Power Blast" Cecilia yelled, aiming down at Jade. Jade quickly moved but was still thrown off by the power as she was slammed against the wall. She fell back rolling on the ground seeing Cecilia's feet now longer glowing with a golden glow or anything at all.

"Times up." she said smiling at her as she bent over, helping her up.

"Thanks." Jade said.

"Hey why don't you take a shower first, I need to do something before I go in." Cecilia said.

"Sure, oh nice move today. For a minute there I thought I had you." Jade said tossing her head back before walking out.

As Jade shut the door, Cecilia fell to her knees in an agonizing pain. Her arms clutching the ground as her nails dug into the floor. Her head hanging down, as she bit her lips to keep from wanting to cry in pain.

"Where the hell is did she getting all that power from?" Cecilia grunted as thoughts ran in an out of her head, trying to reason with what just happend.

Trunks stomped through the house, his feet echoing with every step he made. He stopped for a second as he sniffed the air, he could smell her. She smelt hot. His lips curved up in anticipation of what was to happen. He made his way through the house until he found her, laying on the couch. Her eyes shut, as a book fell to the floor.

He continue to walk over there, looking down as he saw the book. "Hm, so all it takes is a simple romantic graphic novel to turn her own. Such the woman." he said as his eyes drifted from the book to the one laying on the couch.

Trunks steady himself as he laid on top of her, his lips seeking hers. "I don't think so Trunks!" Pan said firmly hold his face with her hand. "The girls are home and I know how you get monkey boy." she said pushing him off her.

Trunks could only sit there as she started to walk, "Yeah, well it looked like you where the one who was starting to really enjoy your book." Trunks said. Pan just smiled at herself as she turn back around and looked at him. "Keep that up and you won't even get close as first base with me for a month."

"Sure, that's what you always say. Any ways, where is Cecilia? She said she needed me to look at something for her?"

"Um, still training I guess. I heard Jade come up from the back but not Cecilia." Pan said.

Jade walked through her room, pacing before her morrow that she an Cecilia shared. She pulled her ribbons from her two buns that bounded her hair together on the sides. Layers of silky black hair fell with grace down her neck to cover her shoulders.

She picked the knot from her tousama's bandanna that was folded into a headband on top of her head. She kissed it softly against her pink lips. Her eyes shut tight as she reminisced over the past of him before he was gone, before he took him.

She clutched her fist tight at the thought, the android. That android took her life away. She would never know the gentle touches of a kaasama's or the warm hugs as she grew from her tousama. So many things she missed, her life ruin before it ever truly began. Now she stands here pulling her clad torn clothes of training from herself as she never took the gold necklace or earrings that she wore as a reminder of her kaasama.

"I wish you where here, maybe than I can understand what I am and everything else." she said softly before walking into the shower inside her and Cecilia's room.

Cecilia's head popped up. "Oh no, it's Trunks. I can't let him see me like this." His foot steps keep coming closer as she struggled to get up. She flung her wild hair back as she tilted her head up. Her eyes shut tight with her carnivorous teeth digging in to her bottom lip. Her arms wrapped tightly around her waist, knees buckled tight. She finally made it, and the door opened.

"Cec's.." than it happened. "Trunks.." she said trying to smile as her knee's pointed inward and tighten her grabs around her waist. She fell forward hard.

"Cec's..!" Trunks yelled rushing to her, his only child. His musume. He lifted her head up, and turned her over, "Cec's what happened?" he asked

"Jade, we where sparing. I'm fine though." she tried saying with a little smile.

"No your not. Now what happened?" he demanded. "Trunks I don't know!" Cecilia yelled back, not wanting to show weakness as she pushed herself up. Standing wobbly on her legs.

"Look at you, you can't even stand up straight. I know you are stronger than Jade, so did this happen?" Trunks demanded.

"All I know is we where in level one and than she started to gain on me out of no where, each of her blows where stronger and faster. I had to power to level two to take her down! It put to much stress on me. There are you happy! "

"Of course I'm not, why would you say that? What has gotten into you the past couple of days?"

"I don't know, why don't you tell me what's wrong. Why don't you tell me how she, one forth saiya-jin and three fourth android or what ever he was, was stronger than me just awhile ago. Stronger than me! I'm three forth saiya-jin an only one fourth human..I've already reach level two and she has just begun reaching level one." Cecilia yelled, her body finally giving out as she past out on the floor before her tousama could do something.

"Cecilia, I don't know.." Trunks said softly, picking her up in his arms as he carried to the meed room.
