A/NI haven't updated this story yet, so I am going to right now. Sorry it took so long to update!

Chapter 2- what is life like?

Sonya- 3 yrs. Then 7 in future

Gokan- not here yet, future- 5

P.S the flashback is here for a reason. Can you figure out why?

Flashback

Pan lay amidst the grimy road. Her baby permanently cradled into her side. Days had gone by, soon weeks. Pan had not yet found a home for her and her newborn child to live in. The weak, barely sturdy cardboard box, and a torn blanket was all she had. She had sold everything else to get just enough food to last not even a day.

Rain pounded against the box. Pan moaned miserably. "Why couldn't I have just waited until I found a home before I left?" she thought, holding her daughter tightly against her chest.

She cuddled up as best she could, getting as much warmth as possible. "I just hope I can find one soon, before my daughter gets sicker then she already is," She coughed. "I'm not feeling too well either…" Pan's eyes fell heavily against the makeshift pillow made of a stack of wet papers. She fell into a dark, horrible sleep.

End flashback

"Mommy, is Trunks, the richest man in the world, my daddy?" she asked.

Pan picked up her daughter as she held back her tears. "Yes Sonya, but let's wait until you are a little older. You will understand better." Sonya nodded.

Unfortunately, she would never be able to come to understand. The raven haired with lavender streaked girl would soon find out.

4 years later

7-year-old Sonya knelt by her mother's bedside crying. "Mommy, please don't go, your all I have!" she said, pounding her fists, causing a dent in the hospital table.

Pan coughed. "Please Sonya, if I die-" she was cut off by her daughter's abrupt screaming.

"YOU WON'T DIE! I PROMISE YOU!"

Pan continued to cough, her Ki rising and falling with each passing breath.

"Please, listen to me Sonya. If I die, will you please try to find your Uncle or someone who will take you in? Celia left us after getting sick, thanks to me, and she needed more help than I, so she went. I want you to have a better life then what you have had so far. Promise Me," she murmured trying her best to keep from gagging.

And it won't leave me alone,

These wounds wont seem to heal

This pain is just too real

Sonya reached out and moved a dampened bang from her mother's mature face. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed her mom on the forehead.

"I promise mom…I will find him. But promise me you will stay alive?" Sonya said, giving her mother one last kiss.

Pan gave a weak laugh." I will try dear, now go before I have no time." She took Sonya's hand and held it for a few minutes.

Sonya's eyes flooded with tears as she looked at her sick mother. Taking one last glance, she left.

Pan sighed and waited a few minutes before trying to fall asleep. She heard something rustling in the closet.

"Who's there?" Pan asked.

There's just too much that time,

Will not erase,

When you cried I, wipe away all of your tears

A deep, low voice answered her." Oh, So you don't remember me? I thought you would have, seeing as how I almost killed your grandfather. Here is something that will make you remember." He said, throwing a beam onto the bed.

Pan scrambled up to the corner away when the beam exploded. " Seventeen" She muttered under her breath.

" Wow, now you remember me." He said, taking a step out of the closet." Gosh it was getting stuffy in there, all by my lonesome." He added, flicking some of his raven hair out of his eyes.

" How long have you been in there?" Pan asked, sitting up.

" Long enough to hear that Sonya is gone for a while." Seventeen answered.

"Which would be how long?"

" About uh, about I don't know, I just transported into here," Seventeen answered back. " And while I am waiting for you to reply, wait. Don't reply. I am getting tired of you sitting here asking these stupid pathetic questions."

Pan laughed. " Nice answer Mr. I know everything."

When you screamed I,

Fight away all of your fears,

And I held your hand through all of these years,

But you still have, all of me

Seventeen snickered. " Well, I say. Let's go on a joy ride, how's about it?" He said, leaning on the counter.

Pan just looked at him." Where will we be going and what about Sonya?" She asked.

" Well, you and I will be in the wilderness, and in a few years, we will come back for Sonya, after we get a house, that way she will be well taken care of until we come back." He explained.

" But that's not all of it. She doesn't know the other half" he thought evilly.

Pan just looked at him." Well, all right then, but I don't think I will make it while we are gone.

Seventeen thought for a moment." Actually, you will be nursed back to health by me, now lets go to the healing springs, so you can get better, ok?"

Pan nodded." All right then. Let's go."

Seventeen smiled evilly. He picked Pan up and turned around, as she got dressed. He picked her up and flew out the window.

Meanwhile

Sonya blasted through the air. " I am glad Mom trained me while she could, otherwise, I would have to go the hard way." She thought.

She flew upwards to keep away from the viewers on the streets. Well, Mom also told me a story when I was younger…She said that her uncle lived with her grandparents and they lived right next to a really huge, beautiful waterfalls. I wonder where it could be.

Through the clouds, and through the forests she flew, searching for her uncle when she felt 2 strong Ki's near her.

She flew behind a bush and watched the two guys fight with interest.

Goku laughed. " Well, I feel a small Ki near us. I wonder who it is."

Goten looked confused. " Well, let's-"

Sonya flew out of the bush, and burst into Goku's arms.

" Whoa there, who are you?" He asked, getting up.

" Are you Pan's grandfather?" She asked.

" Well there, you seem to be getting into my business. By any chance, how do you know Pan? And yes, she is my granddaughter, but she isn't here right now." Goku replied.

" I thought you were dead!" Sonya replied.

" Well, Shen-Long decided it was best he kept me here, since earth didn't really have a protector anymore. Why do you ask, and who are you?"

Sonya sat down, well, want a story on why I am here?" she asked.

Goku nodded." Well, I have time for a story before I get back to training. Sure, go right ahead." He sat on the ground cross-legged. And so did Goten. " Ok, I am ready now" He said.

Sonya told him about she being born by Pan, how they have been very poor, and a few other things Goku asked. When she got finished, which was about a few hours later, Goku was stunned.

" So right now, Pan is dying, and you are asking us if we can help?" Goku asked. " I am just trying to get it straight here. I really need to know after all."

Sonya laughed.

Goten still had the dazed look planted on his face. " So now I am a great- Uncle, and I am only-"

Sonya interrupted him." 39 years old." She said.

Goku laughed." Guess we have an answer and looks like you really didn't need to try and count with your fingers!"

Sonya nodded, laughing all the while.

" Well, from what I was told, Pan had left because she wanted to see how life was under different circumstances. Nobody ever told me that she had a baby. Then I am wondering why Pan had left in the first place when she knew she was pregnant-" Goku started mumbling.

Sonya laughed again. " Too many questions? I know, I will answer them later, when we have the time."

" I also never found out who your dad was. Who is he?" Goten asked." And If I catch or see him, I will pulverize him!"

Sonya looked at Goten with saddened eyes." Are you sure you want to kill the president of Capsule Corps?" she asked.

Goten and Goku stared at Sonya as they left for the hospital.

Nobody spoke, until Goten broke the silence.

" So. Sonya, have you ever fought in a battle before?" he asked.

" Well, not exactly. When Mom had the time after work, she would teach me the basics of what she learned, and that was about it, I had to learn for myself. It was real hard. But I have surpassed her right now, and I am almost to the point where I can achieve super saiyin."

" Wow, then how did you get so smart?" Goten asked.

" Well, You know how Gohan is my grandpa? Well, He is a smart Alec as you all know, and I inherited that from the family!" she stated proudly.

Goku was amazingly silent.

" Hey dad, do you think you could train Sonya with me after we sort all this out?"

Goku looked at Goten." Sure, we will have to put a few tests on her, and then she will be fine, now lets go to the hospital!

A few hours later

The group headed into the hospital building. Unfortunately, Goku took the elevator so he had to take the long way, due to his lack of liking needles. It took some pressure just to get him in as well.

Sonya led them into Pan's room, where she was supposedly staying.

She tugged on Goku's arms as he held his hands against the doorway.

" I don't wanna go in there! There could be needles, or doctors, or-" He wasn't finished as Sonya beamed him in the middle of his stomach and made him let go, causing him to fall on her.

Sonya sighed. She dragged Goku into the room, and then dropped him all of a sudden. He fell with a thud onto the hard floor.

Her knees buckled. The doctors were in there, and so were policemen.

"What happened to mommy?" She asked one of the doctors.

" We don't know Sonya, we don't know." The doctor said, shaking her head.

Goku got up." What happened to Pan?"

Sonya ran into his arms and wept. " They don't know what happened to mom!" she said, her tears flowing, making Goku's Gi wet and soggy.

Goku stared up at the sky." Oh pan, why did you leave so soon? And why did you die?"

What they didn't know was that Pan was alive, and that Seventeen was with her.
