To See Your Face Again

To See Your Face Again (prologue)

Hi everyone! I know you're probably thinking "Hey, look! A new author on FF.Net!", but actually we are not. We are Bra and Pan, two semi-professional writers, and we have fused together to write this story. Before we fused into Para, we were both two T/P G/B (u/m) authors on FF.Net. We aren't going to reveal who we are, we'll only say that we are Bra (the princess) and Pan (the warrior). We are going to be taking turns writing the chapters. See if you can guess who we are by our writing styles! We might give away some hints in the author notes. Until then, our identities remain a mystery…Hope you like the story! (We don't own Dragonball Z/GT, but then again…who does?)

(This chapter is by Pan)

"But kaasan!" cried Goten, "You can't send them away! They've both become so strong, and we know that they can take care of themselves!"

"I'm sorry, Goten dear," said Chi-Chi sadly, "It's become too dangerous… they may have been lucky a few times… but there's always the risk…"

"Grandma!" shouted Pan, walking into the Son house and slamming the door. Chi-Chi flinched when she saw how Pan's eyes burned with anger, "Is it true? Surely it's all just a big joke that someone forgot to make funny? It can't be true! No one is heartless enough to do something like this to us!"

"Pan, honey," said Chi-Chi softly, "It's for the best…"

"For the best?!" Pan's ki rose considerably, "If my grandfather was alive, I know he would understand! Grandpa Goku knew how important it was to be together in times like these! Obviously, grandma, you learned nothing all these years that we've been struggling. Do you even know what keeps us alive?"

"I…Pan, please try to understand…" began Chi-Chi.

"No! You try to understand!" Pan's hands clenched into fists, "We need each other, when things seem like they're going to fall apart, we need to have each other. What else are we going to hold onto? What else will give us hope?"

"Mom, how could you even think about doing this?" Goten's face was pale.

The door opened again and Trunks walked in looking paler than Goten. Bra followed close behind, her eyes brimming with tears.

"How could you, Chi-Chi?" asked Trunks, his voice filled with something similar to hatred.

"Listen!" said Chi-Chi regaining her composure, "Bulma, Juuhachigou, and Videl all agree with me! It's safer for the girls…"

"NO!" said Bra, sobbing, "It's not safer! It's a cruel punishment! You can't send us away! You can't!"

"We can and we will!" said a voice from the doorway. The kids turned to see Bulma walk in, followed by Videl. Bulma was holding a capsule. Pan gasped, and her anger instantly turned to fear. She raised her shaking hands up to her face.

"NO!" cried Pan, "We will not go! You can't make us! I will fight!"

Videl walked up to Pan, "Will you fight with your own mother?"

Pan looked at her mother for a second, but found that she couldn't bring herself to harm her. She looked at the ground helplessly, tears splashing onto her cheeks.

"Ouch!" cried Bra. She gasped when she saw the needle that was in her arm. Bulma held it so that the yellow liquid drained into her bloodstream. Bra stood frozen in shock, wondering what the needle would do to her.

"No!" said Goten, as Chi-Chi stuck a needle into his arm, and Pan and Trunks were also injected.

"What the hell have you done?" asked Trunks, looking in horror at the four empty needle syringes.

"The needles we gave to Trunks and Goten will erase all memories that Pan, Bra and Marron ever existed," said Bulma, "The ones we gave to Pan and Bra will erase all memories of this world. Right now at the Kame house Juuhachigou is giving these needles to Marron and Uub too."

"It's not working!" shouted Pan, "I can still remember everything! I remember my grandfather! I remember the war! I remember Trunks and Goten! Your stupid needles aren't working!"

"Of course not," said Bulma coolly, "It takes a few minutes to work, fifteen at the most…"

"NO!" shouted Trunks, "I don't want to forget them! My little sister, Marron…Pan! How can you do this? You can't send them away! I don't want to forget! No!"

Bra threw herself at Goten and cried in his arms, "Oh, Goten! I can't bear it! I don't want to be apart from you!"

"I feel the same, Bra-chan," said Goten, stoking her hair, "I love you more than anything. We'll be together again someday, I promise you this. You'll remember me won't you?"

"Oh, yes!" cried Bra, leaning up to kiss Goten, "Forever."

Trunks walked over to Pan and took her hands. They looked into each other's tearful eyes. No words were needed to be said, for they both felt the sorrow rip through their hearts. Trunks reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden locket on a chain. He placed it around Pan's neck and whispered, "I was going to give you that on your birthday, but now…Pan, you know how much I love you! Please, keep my memory somewhere in your heart. It'll take more than a needle and a world to separate us."

"Yes," whispered Pan, reaching up and brushing a strand of hair out of Trunks' eyes, "And promise me that wherever I am, we'll always find a way to each other?"

"Always," said Trunks, leaning forward till their lips met in a final sweet kiss.

"It's time to send Pan and Bra to the other dimension now," said Bulma, she popped the capsule, and it revealed two space pods, "Only one person can fit into a pod. Marron has her own pod too. Get in girls."

Pan threw her arms around Trunks tightly and said softly, "I love you Trunks Vegeta Briefs! I love you more than life itself, and don't you ever forget that!"

Bra clutched onto Goten still crying, "Goten, I don't want to leave you! Please! Do something! Please!"

Bulma and Videl took their daughters and tried to put them into the pods. Bra tried helplessly to free herself of her mother's grasp while Pan struggled.

"It's no use," said Videl, "I'm sorry that I have to do this to you Pan, but it's better if you're in a world where you're safe from the war. There you can live a normal life."

Pan froze, "Normal? Meaning…no fighting? My saiya-jin powers…OH NO! PLEASE NO! Bulma-san! Please tell me…the needle…did it…"

"Yes, Pan," said Bulma, "The needle has stripped you of your saiya-jin powers. It's better this way."

Pan felt her knees give way, and Videl used that moment to push Pan into the pod and close the door. Pan put her hands onto the glass and looked out, panicking when she realized that this could be the last time she ever saw Trunks…

"NO!" cried Pan pounding on the glass, "I BELONG HERE! DON'T SEND ME AWAY! PLEASE! TRUNKS! TRUNKS!"

Pan gasped when she saw Bra get pushed into the other pod, "NO! BRA! FIGHT!"

Bra screamed as the glass door closed, "GOTEN! GOTEN! DON'T LET THEM DO THIS! GOTEN!"

"TRUNKS! UNCLE GOTEN! SAVE US!" Pan pounded on the glass harder, she desperately put her hands together, "KAMEHAMEHA!"

Nothing happened.

"NO!" cried Pan, as she realized that the needle was beginning to work, she looked out at the people standing around the two pods, and she couldn't remember who they were…no! why don't I remember? Who are they…so familiar…but him… I know him! He's Trunks! "TRUNKS! TRUNKS! I LOVE YOU! TRUNKS!"

Pan put out her hand and tried to reach him, but she fell back on the seat and everything slowly faded as she blacked out.

Bra gasped as she saw Pan pass out, and she knew that soon the same thing would happen to her, she tried to blast herself out of there before the darkness consumed her, "BIG BANG ATTACK!"

Nothing happened…

Bra gasped, "NO! GALLIC GUN! FINAL FLASH! BURNING…IT'S NOT WORKING! GOTEN! ONIICHAN! SAVE US! SAVE US! GOTEN!"

Bra glanced at Pan and saw her lying limply on the seat of the space pod. Bra gave up. She looked out one more time, at the face of one whom she never wanted to forget, "I LOVE YOU GOTEN!"

Then she blacked out.

The two space pods shot out the roof of the Son house and into the sky.

Trunks and Goten looked after the pods into the sky blankly. Trunks turned to Bulma and asked innocently, "Kaasan? Who were those girls?"

And that is how the story begins…

Pan, Bra, and Marron, sent away to another world in order to be safe from the war that was going on in their own dimension…Separated from their loved ones…will their memories return? Or will they be forever stranded in the other world without their powers? Will they survive? Tune in to the next episode…er, chapter of "To See Your Face Again" to find out! Now, I will pass the pen to my best friend Bra, to continue where I left off. BUT, she will only continue IF you encourage her with some nice reviews! So you better review! Bye now!
