As I Grow

Chapter 1:

I'm only four years old. I am the daughter of Videl Satan and Gohan Son. My grandparents are none other than Goku and Chi Chi Son. I also have an uncle. His name is Goten. My family has a little secret. Promise not to tell? Otay, I think I can trust you. I'm a full-blooded alien species known as a Saiyan. My family has been Saiyans for many generations. My mama you ask? How is she Saiyan? Well, Grandpa Satan found a stranded baby in an alley and adopted her as his own. Little did he know, Mama was a Saiyan. Grandma Chi Chi too. She was found in the woods by the Ox King.

My name is Pan Son. I live at Mount Paozu along with the rest of my family. My best friend, who also happens to be Saiyan, lives in West City along with her family. She is heiress to the richest company in the world, Capsule Corporation. Her name is Bulla Briefs. She has an older brother, who's name is Trunks. Her mother is Bulma Briefs, who has been president of Capsule Corp since her father's death.

Bulla is a full-blooded Saiyan too. Her father doesn't know Bulma secretly was part of the Saiyan race as well. You would think after having two kids and marrying her, he would notice. But he hasn't.

Today is the day I make my first debut at a World Martial Arts Tournament. As far as I know, me, Grandpa, Grandma, Vegeta, Trunks, Papa, Mama, Bulla, Bulma, and Uncle Goten are all fighting at the tournament.

Today would be a good day. And it was good, until a certain person arrived. I hated her so much. Marron...ugh. She always talked about marrying Trunks. It was gross. Trunks was one of my good friends. I didn't want to see him marry someone like Marron. I guess you can say that I kind of like my best friend's older brother. I mean he's 14 years older than me, but love is love.

We gathered in the waiting room, waiting for our fights to begin. A few other people made it in, including Marron. I didn't know she fought. I got paired with her for the first round too. This will be fun. "Good luck, Pan," Mama and Papa said, hugging me. Grandpa and Grandma held thumbs up to me. Uncle Goten winked at me and smiled. Bulla and Bulma hugged me, and Vegeta did what Vegeta always does; he stood against the wall.

"Go get her, Panny," I heard Trunks say as I walked out.

"Right," I said back. I walked out behind Marron, and we made it to the arena. I bowed and waved to everyone as they cheered. Marron just looked at me, and I got ready to fight. She came at me, and I lifted my arm to block her kick. I realized then and there (although I actually knew when we were paired together) that this was going to be an easy fight. I scanned her energy and watched as she tried to fight me. I got everything I needed.

I blocked her kicks, punches, and kai blasts. I then found my chance. I threw all of what she gave me back to her, and in a matter of five minutes, she was out of the ring. I smiled at myself as I made my way back to everyone else. After more rounds, it was Grandpa's turn to fight. His opponent was a man named Uub.

Grandpa, during his fight, did something unforgivable. He left. "Grandpa! It's not true! Tell me it isn't true!" I yelled as I ran to him. "Are you really leaving?"

"Yes, Pan," he said.

"You can't leave!" I yelled as I wrapped my tiny arms around his neck.

"Grandpa will come visit," he said stroking my hair.

"Pr-promise?" I asked through sobs.

"I promise. You all need to keep your training up, okay? Uub will be strong after his training, but he will still look to you guys for help and guidance. I'm counting on you guys. You'll do this, right?" he asked looking over at Trunks and Uncle Goten.

"Me too, Grandpa! I'll train too!" I said. I hugged my grandfather again before watching him fly off with Uub on his back. The rest of the tournament was called off, so our families just stayed and messed around. I beat Uncle Goten. I slapped him across the face, and Trunks held me up and declared me the winner.

"Time to go, Pan," Mama said walking over. I hugged Bulla and Bulma. I then hugged 18 and Krillin, but I stuck my tongue out as I walked past Marron. I gave Piccolo and Dende a hug, as well as Master Roshi and Vegeta. After I was done with the rest of them, I walked over to Trunks. I lifted my arms to him and he picked me up.

"You'll help me train, right Boxers?" I asked him. He smiled his 'only Trunks can pull this off' smile.

"Of course I will, Panny. Come over anytime," he said as he hugged me. He put me down, and I flew to where I could reach his cheek. I kissed it and thanked him. He waved goodbye as our family flew in the opposite direction as his.

Two Months Later

"Boxers! I'm here to train!" I called out like Bulma told me to. I had been coming here everyday since Grandpa left.

"Oh, hello Panny. Let's go!" he said as we walked to the gravity room.

"Uncle Goten? You're here too?" I asked as we approached.

"Hey, Pan," he said. We all went into the gravity room and went through the training routine. We had to teach Uncle Goten, and Papa wandered in too.

"Pan, listen. I'm heading off for college soon, and that's why Goten is here. He's going to train you from now on. Gohan said he would too. They all want you to get stronger. And so do I, but I have to leave for a while," Trunks said as he handed me a towel and a bottle of cold water.

"You're leaving me too?" I asked, a little sad and mad.

"Yes, but not for long. Please don't be angry, Pan," he said. I started crying, and he picked me up into a hug. He stroked my hair, and let me cry. After I stopped, I hugged Trunks and kissed his cheek. I then watched and he drove down the road, ready to start college.
