Sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I have had way to much homework and martial arts practice too boot. So I hope that you can all forgive me and that you will enjoy this fic. Once again…I don't own anything. Enough said.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one moved, they weren't sure what to do. Here Pan, who supposedly died last year, was standing in front of them like nothing had ever happened. The silence in the room was broke by a loud thud. "Chi Chi?" Goku shouted out and he quickly picked up his wife who had fainted and fallen to the floor.

Gohan was the first to move as he slowly stood up and walked over to his daughter. Videl stayed on the couch because she could hardly contain her sobbing. "Panny?" Gohan whispered reaching out his hand to touch his long lost daughter.

Pan instinctively backed away. Trying to get closer to the warmth and safety of Trunks who was still leaning against the wall. "Pan? What's wrong? Is it something I did?" Gohan asked a little sad that his daughter was trying to avoid him.

Pan shook her head slowly. "No…it's me Daddy. If you knew what I was…you might not ever want to touch or be near me again."

Gohan gave her a strange look. "You are my little Panny. How could I ever not want to be near you?"

Pan looked away ashamed. In her mind she could see images of her father backing away in horror and disowning her, once he found out the truth. You and I both know Pan that Gohan would never do that! Trunks told Pan through their bond.

Pan looked over at Trunks and glared at him. Times like these the bond that they shared got a little annoying. We are going to have to set up some sort of block to make sure that some of my thoughts are privet. Otherwise how am I going to be able to keep your Christmas presents a secret?

Trunks smiled at the comment and motioned for Pan to tell Gohan the truth. Pan looked at her father and took a deep breath. "You might not want to be near me because of the fact that I am really not alive or dead."

"What do you mean?" Bulma asked entering the conversation for the first time.

"What the hell do you think she means woman? The girl has no ki yet here she is standing before us like the past year didn't happen. She hasn't aged a bit. Put two and two together. The brat is what you humans would call a vampire." Vegeta replied.

Gohan looked at Pan his eyes wide open. "Is this true?"

Pan nodded slowly ready for her father to cast her out of the room. But instead to her surprise Gohan walked the rest of the way to her and wrapped his arms around her. "My poor Pan. You have had to deal with this all on your own. I…I'm sorry that I wasn't there to help you. Why didn't you come and tell us. We would have tried to find a way to help you somehow."

Pan pulled back from the hug and looked at her father. "You…aren't mad at me? You don't want to cast me out of the family and pretend that I was never born?"

Gohan quickly shook his head. "No…we would never ever want to do that Pan. You are part of this family for now and forever. You are always welcomed here."

"Told you so!" Trunks added out loud.

Pan glanced at Trunks and gave him a look that would freeze water. Trunks instantly shut up. She then turned her attention to her mother who had stood up and begun slowly to walk over to her daughter. "My little Panny." Videl sobbed once she reached Pan and wrapped her arms around her. "You are back. I had hoped against hope that some how some way you would come back to us. Now here you are. Standing before us. I missed you so much!"

Pan began crying as she hugged her mother back. "I missed you too Mom. It hurt so much to sit back and watch you all live your lives without me…but I thought what I was doing was for the best. Can you and Dad forgive me?"

Videl quickly nodded. "Of course as long as your promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Never ever do something like this again!" Gohan said joining in on the hug between Videl and Pan.

Pan laughed through her tears and smiled. "I'll try not to."

"Um…Videl…Gohan…I really hate to be the one to say this…but." Bulma began as she and Bra pulled Videl and Gohan away from Pan. "There are other people who want to say hello to Pan. So move over."

Gohan and Videl smiled and nodded. They backed away and both Bulma and Bra gave Pan huge hugs. Bra immediately began telling Pan everything that had happened in the past year that she had been gone. Even though Pan knew most of it because she had watched her family and friends from the shadows. Pan let Bra tell her everything.

Meanwhile Goku had was finally able to wake Chi Chi up. Chi Chi slowly walked over to Pan with Goku right behind her making sure that she did not fall again. "Pan?" Chi Chi whispered looking at her granddaughter for the first time in a year.

Pan nodded slowly and walked over to her Grandmother. She wrapped her arms around Chi Chi and gave her a huge hug. "I'm so happy that you are back!" Chi Chi sobbed.

After Pan and Chi Chi stopped crying. Everyone else joined back in giving Pan a hug except Vegeta of course. From him she received a nod. Finally after an hour everyone calmed down enough for Pan to tell her friends what had happened over the past year. Pan sat down on the couch with Trunks right beside her. Ever since the family had had their fill of giving Pan hugs, Trunks refused to leave her side. Pan explained everything to them and answer all of their questions.

"When I get my hands on Neal…I am going to blast him into the next dimension!" Gohan growled his ki almost jumping to super Sayjin.

Pan put a hand over her father's. "Don't Daddy. Trunks already said that he would be the first to kill Neal if he ever found him."

Gohan raised an eyebrow at the mention of Trunks. "Speaking of Trunks. Just how does he fit into all of this. You managed to leave out how he found you."

"I…um…" Pan stuttered.

"It's simple really Gohan. I was and still am in love with your daughter. I never gave up hope that she was still alive and it paid off. I'm the one who convinced her to let me bring her here when I could not find the last piece of the puzzle to find a way to cure her." Trunks replied.

Pan looked over at Trunks, both happy and shocked that he just came out and said that he was in love with her in front of both of their families. Gohan looked at Trunks. "You are in love with my daughter?"

Trunks gulped and nodded slowly. He did not really like the way that Gohan was looking at him. "I know Pan was in love with you ever since she was a child. My only question is…who said it first?" Gohan asked, his voice deadly calm.

"I…I did sir," Trunks squeaked.

Gohan muttered something under his breath and reached in his back pocket. He pulled out his wallet and then a five dollar bill. He handed it over to Vegeta. "You win Vegeta. I can't believe it though. I always thought Pan was going to be the first to say it."

Vegeta smirked and tucked the money away in his shirt pocket. "I know my brat better than you know yours."

Pan gave her father a confused look. "You two had a bet on when Trunks and I would fall in love?"

Gohan nodded. "Yes. We knew that it would happen eventually…but we weren't sure when. So Vegeta and I made a bet about who would say 'I love you first'."

"So you aren't going to kill me…" Trunks asked.

"No…but if you break Pan's heart then I am going to break every bone in your body and then chop you up in so many pieces, so small, that not even a mouse would be able to have a nibble."

Trunks began to pale as Pan slipped her hand in his to comfort him. Don't listen to him. He is only trying to scare you. Pan told him.

He's doing a really good job of it! Trunks replied.

Pan bit back a smile as Bulma spoke up. "Trunks, you said that you were having trouble with the cure for Pan?"

Trunks nodded. "For the past three months I have been trying to find a way to change Pan back to her Sayjin Human Hybrid form. I just missing one last part of the cure. The only problem is that I can't figure out what I am missing."

"Where is your work? Can I take a look at it?"

Trunks pulled his hand out of Pan's and quickly stood up. "I have all of my work save on my laptop in my room. I'll go get it and meet you in the lab in five minutes if that's all right?"

Bulma nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Trunks nodded and began to head out of the living room to his room, when Pan spoke up. "Since you are going to work on the cure thingy. I guess that I will head on back home. That way…"

"NO!" Gohan, Goten, Goku, Bulma, Chi Chi, Videl and Bra shouted at the same time.

"Okay…" Pan squeaked sitting back down on the couch.

"I mean…no you can't go Pan." Videl explained, "Your father, grandfather, grandmother and I were all planning to spend the night here at Capsule Corp. So why not stay here too. I am sure that Bulma can find you spare room to sleep in."

"She can stay in my room," Trunks piped in quickly. Everyone in the room turned and looked at Trunks. Causing him to turn a brilliant shade of red, "What I mean is…Pan can have my room tonight. I am probably going to be working on the cure for Pan all night. So I won't need my room. And even if I did, I could just come down here and sleep on the couch. That I won't be imposing on Pan," then in his head And Gohan won't have a reason to kill me.

Pan smiled at her mate's last comment. "Okay…then looks like I will be staying here tonight."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Trunks hurried into his mother's lab and hooked his laptop up to the main computer there. Bulma sat down in a chair beside Trunks and began checking over his calculations. "I'm impressed son. I don't think that I could have done a better job myself."

Trunks blushed. "Well…I have a good reason to make sure that everything was correct. If one thing goes wrong, Pan could seriously be hurt."

Bulma smiled at her son. "If I had known that Pan was going to have this kind of effect on you Trunks. I would have told you to date her a lot sooner."

"If you have of…Neal wouldn't have gotten a hold of Pan and she would be living a normal life."

Bulma could feel the anger radiating off of Trunks at the mention of Neal's name. She too would admit that she hated the vampire will all her heart, but hate would do them little good now. She reached out and patted her son on the shoulder. "It doesn't do well to dwell on the past. Look forward to the future that you are going to have with Pan."

At the mention of the young Sayjin's name, Trunks' face lit up in a huge smile. "True I do have that to look forward to don't I?"

"Yes, especially where are you going to take Pan to for your honeymoon and when am I going to get some grandchildren?"

"Mom!" Trunks shouted blushing once again. "Pan and I haven't…done…or talked about that yet! Besides, I'm not even sure if she wants to do that."

Bulma cocked an eyebrow at him. "Trunks…you and Pan both have Sayjin blood in you correct?" Trunks nodded, not sure where this was going . "Then I can promise you that Pan wants to do that with you. If she is anything like Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta and you, sex, fighting and food are the only things that you Sayjins seem to love to do. But enough about that. We need to get to work to figure out what you are missing here. The quicker we get started, the quicker I get to see some grandchildren!"

"Mom!" Trunks growled.

Bulma smiled sweetly at him and returned to work.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The days slowly began to pass as Bulma and Trunks worked hard on the cure for Pan. Each day that they worked it seemed that they were further and further from finding the cure. "Arg! This is hopeless!" Trunks shouted out in frustration throwing his glasses down on the keyboard in front of him.

Bulma looked up from her work. "This is not hopeless. We will find a way to help Pan. We have to."

Before Trunks could reply, his sister sprinted into the lab. "Mom, Trunks you have to come quick. Something is wrong with Pan."

Trunks was on his feet in an instant. "What's wrong with her Bra?"

"I…I don't know. She is lying on your bed shaking and sweating. She keeps saying your name over and over again." Bra replied, "Gohan and Videl are about to go insane with worry over her."

That was all Trunks needed to be told. He raced out of the room with Sayjin speed and up the stairs to his room, with Bulma and Bra right behind him. When he entered his room his saw all of Pan's family kneeling or standing beside her bed while Pan lay on his bed curled in a little ball. Goku was the first to noticed him there. "Trunks…what's wrong with her?" he asked his voice filled with worry for his only granddaughter.

Trunks nodded and slowly walked over to his bed as he rolled his left shirtsleeve up to expose his wrist. "Panny?" Trunks whispered kneeling down beside the bed.

Pan looked over at him slowly. Her face marred with pain. "Hey."

"That time of the month huh?"

Pan nodded slowly and gave Trunks a smile. "Apparently my body likes the taste of you."

Trunks winked at her. "I think that I have heard that before."

Pan glared at him and was about to reply when her body was rocked by another wave of pain. She cried out and shut her eyes tightly. Trying desperately to ignore the pain.

Trunks climbed on the bed and positioned himself behind her. Making sure not to hurt Pan. He looked at the others as he offered Pan his wrist. "You might want to leave. This could get a little gross."

Before anyone one could move, Pan looked hungrily at Trunks' wrist. She quickly morphed into a vampire and sank her fangs into Trunks. He hissed in pain. Sorry, Pan said to him. I was just so hungry.

Take all that you need, love. I would give up everything for you. Trunks replied.

Does that include you hentai collection under your bed?

Well…

I figured as much.

I love you Panny.

Not going to work hot shot.

With that Pan pulled back and transformed back into her normal face. She kissed Trunks' wrist and leaned back against him. Trunks smiled sleepily at her and wrapped his arms protectively around her. It was then that she noticed all of her family and friends staring at her. "Umm…hi?" Pan said softly.

"I knew you said…you were a vampire…but you ate food normally…" Goten began confused. "How…?"

"I became an unusual vampire. Because I am part Sayjin, I can eat all the normal food I want, but I have to drink blood once a month because of my vampire side. Trunks here insists that I get it from him. I keep telling him that a blood bank would be easier but he won't listen to me."

"Blood?" Bulma asked suddenly, "Blood! That's it! If course! It was staring me in the face all this while and I didn't see it until now! How could I have been so blind?"

"What are you talking about Mom?" Trunks asked almost ready to fall asleep.

"Nothing, nothing. Don't worry about it. I will tell you after you get some rest. Right now all you need is sleep. So out everyone."

Everyone including Pan began to head out of Trunk's room, when Bulma stopped Pan. "No, no. You are going to stay right here with Trunks. I need you to make sure that he stays still. I have a feeling that you would be the only one he would listen to."

Pan nodded and climbed back on the bed with Trunks, who was now happily off in dream land. Who was she one to argue when it came to having the chance to cuddle with Trunks.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The next morning Trunks walked into his mother's lab again to find her busily typing at her keyboard. "Morning mom," Trunks yawned walking over to her and giving her a good morning hug.

"Morning Trunks. Sleep well?" Bulma asked looking up from work.

"I spent the night with Pan sleeping beside me. How could I not sleep well," Trunks replied with a smile. "So what's all this about blood and it staring you in the face?"

"Ah! I wondered when you were going to ask me about that." Bulma said typing a series of commands on the keyboard. Instantly the large computer screen in front of her lit up. "This here is your formula for the cure. As you can tell there is nothing wrong with anything that you calculated. What is wrong is what you calculated it on."

"What do you mean?" Trunks asked a little confused.

"You were basing everything on Pan's vampire DNA and you were trying to find a way get it to change back. You can't do it that way. You give the cure nothing to base itself on. So there is no way that Pan would ever be able to change back. But say if you had a sample of Pan's old DNA. Then you would give the cure…"

"Something to base itself on and allow it to change Pan's vampire DNA back to it's original form. My God! Why didn't I think of that!"

"That's what I am here for sweetie," Bulma said with a smile.

"But where do we get a sample of DNA from?"

"It just so happens that I collected a sample of DNA from every Z senshi just incase something was to ever happen. That way the rejuvenation tanks would work better if they were specialized for certain people."

Trunks shouted out with joy and grabbed his mother out from her chair. He began spinning her around the room. Saying how much he loved her and how much of a genius she was.

"Trunks! Trunks! Put me down. If we hurry and get the work on this cure. We just might be able to have it finished by the end of the week," Bulma shouted.

Instantly Trunks put his mother back down in her computer chair. "Sorry. I was just so excited. Let's get to work."

Bulma shook her head and smiled at her son. She had never seen him so worked up about something or so happy. She said a silent prayer to Dende for bringing Pan back into their lives and for giving her back her son. Bulma then turned back to her computer and began working on the cure.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The week pasted slowly for Trunks and Bulma as they worked on the cure for Pan. They hardly ever left Bulma's lab. When they did it was for more food or for some paper that they forgot at Capsule Corp. The others who were still at Capsule Corp, busied themselves by helping Bra and Goten prepare for their wedding. Well, everyone but Pan that is.

Pan was too worried about Trunks. Through their connection, Pan could feel his frustration and sleepiness. But every time that she tried to contact him. He would shut her out. Telling her that he was too busy to talk now. That he would have plenty of time for her when he was done.

On night later that week, Pan lay alone in Trunks' bed. Curled up in his blankets pretending for just a moment that she was with Trunks. Sleeping soundly and dreaming meaningless dreams, when suddenly the light beside Trunk's bed turned on. Pan hissed in pain as the light almost completely blinded her light sensitive eyes. "Sorry Panny," a tired voice whispered.

Pan quickly sat up in bed to see Trunks standing beside his bed. His cloths were wrinkled and creased from not having changed them in a couple of days. His hair was tied back in a loose ponytail and his face was covered with several days growth of a beard. "Trunks!" Pan said throwing her arms around him and hugging him.

"Whoa! Careful, you don't want me to drop what I have in my hands."

Pan looked at Trunks confused. "What have you got?"

Trunks smiled at her and held up a small syringe. Pan glanced at it nervously. "What's in that?" she asked, proving that she took after her grandfather when it came to needles.

"The thing that is going to turn you back into normal Pan." Trunks replied.

Pan's mouth dropped open as she looked at the dark red substance inside the syringe. "You mean you finally did it? I can be normal again? No more having to feed off you. No more always being cold. No more worrying about people finding out about me?"

"Nope. You will be the way that you were one year ago."

Pan felt tears come to her eyes. "I had hoped…but I never thought that…"

"Want to give it a go?"

Pan nodded slowly and rolled up her sleeve. "Better lie down," Trunks instructed.

Pan did as she was told and lied back down on the bed. Trunks looked at her for a moment. "Now…if this doesn't work. I'm going to hold you to your deal. You are going to have to make me into a vampire. Because I am not going to live my life without you anymore. Is that understood?"

Pan smiled and nodded. "I trust you Trunks. I know that this will work."

"I love you Pan. Remember that. Now, once I inject you. You should begin to feel very, very sleepy. So feel free to fall asleep. Because this might cause you a lot of pain and I'm sorry for that."

"Can't be much worse than having cravings for blood. Let's do it."

Trunks gently took Pan's arm in his large hand. Pan turned her head as Trunks slid the needle into her arm and injected the serum. A few seconds later Pan's world began to get very dizzy. Her eye lids began to grow heavy and she could hardly keep them open. "Night, night Trunks," Pan whispered, "Love you."

Trunks smiled at Pan and gently brushed back her bangs before placing a kiss on her forehead. Pan smiled and then drifted off to sleep. Trunks sat up watching her for most of the night. He could feel his heart break every time, Pan's body convulsed in pain. He said every prayer that he could think of to make sure that she would be okay. Till finally sleep too overcome Trunks.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Several hours later Trunks felt the morning rays of the sun shine directly on his cheek. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out before sitting up in the chair he had spent the night in and scratched. It was then that he noticed his bed was empty. Pan was no where to be found. "Pan?" he called out, "Panny?"

He stood up and was about to rush out of the window to fly off to Pan's old house when he felt a ki that he hadn't felt in over a year. Without a second thought, Trunks raced out of his room and into the kitchen. The kitchen was a disaster. Plates and cups were everywhere. Several cartons of ice cream were out on the counter and were dripping everywhere. Most of last night's leftovers were scattered on the table as was a huge pile of food.

Trunks was about to start blaming Goten for having a midnight snack when a familiar face peaked out from behind the pile of food. "Trunks! I thought that you were awake. I could hear you from upstairs."

"Pan? Are you…?" Trunks whispered, half scared that he might actually be dreaming.

Pan stood up from the kitchen table and walked over to Trunks. She placed a hand on his cheek and gently caressed the side of his face. Instead of the cold clamminess the he usually felt when Pan touched him. Trunks felt warmth. "Does that answer your question?"

Trunks' face lit up in a huge smile as he grabbed Pan and pressed his lips to hers. "I thought that you were gone. That the cure didn't work and that you had left me."

Pan laughed and shook her head. "Weren't the one who told me a few months ago that you and me were mates now, and that no matter what I did. I was stuck with you forever. Well, the same goes for you mister. You aren't getting rid of me any time soon."

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Trunks replied giving Pan another kiss. Feeling for the first time in his life that everything was going to be okay.
