Never Gonna Give Up - Never Gonna Quit
Chapter 21 & 22


The sun would be leaning off into the darker part of early nightfall. Goku, Trunks, and Goten spent most of the day in heavy training. When Chichi had fed them it was time for bed. "Nani what a workout Gokusan gave us eh Goten?" Trunks rubbed the back of his neck with a shower towel. His body still wet from the rush of water that had been dumped on him. Goten half nodded pulling a T-shirt over his head. " Hai.." Trunks blinked sitting on the old sleeping bag that would be his bed for the night. He noticed Goten was almost lost to him. " Goten..you thinking about Persue..or my sister?" The sudden blush answered Trunks`s question. "PERSUE-CHAN!!" Goten forced out of his mouth. Trunks made a discusted face and laid onto the bag. " Nani Goten..I cant belive you lie to me.." Goten lowered his head slightly ashamed of himself. " Trunks..it isnt easy..being me.." Trunks blinked and cracked a light smirk. " Well if its my sister you want..nothing will be easy.."

Goten was watching the sun lower deeper behind the valley. His window had always given him a view of the outside world. It was such a perfect sunset. Goten felt he wished for once in his life his room didnt have windows. " Hai..you think Vegeta-san will ever forgive me?" Trunks chuckled shaking his head. " Sure..like Gohan is gonna forgive me..." Goten blinked and eyed his friend. " Nani..what did you do?" Trunks suddenly wished he was a mute. How could he tell Goten about Pan? The little girl that grew up on him. "I..umm dont worry about me..You got Papsan to think about.." Goten sighed and laid onto his bed. His mind already wandering out there. " Goodnite Trunks..." It was the last thing he heard before the moon came out to play. " Goodnite Goten".

Bra knew that it was late out. " Dont u think Vegeta will be upset ur not home?" Bra waved her friends concerns aside. " If he knows whats good for em..he`ll stay home tonite.." Pan was envious of how Bra handled her parents. It was a wonder who was rasing who. " Besides they think i`m with you..and..well that means im safe to them.." Her shoulders half shrugged and the car was overloaded with clothes. Bra tool control by slipping behind the wheel. " Come on Pan..lets burn some rubber before we get back to ur place." Pan grinned and plopped in the vacant seat beside Bra. " Lets..go Bra-chan!!"

Vegeta was already passing and Bulma rolled her eyes. " Vegeta will u go back to bed. ?" He murmered something and Bulma glared at him. " Vegeta Trunks really hit you hard. I dont want you to fall over..." Vegeta raised his hand as if to strike her. " PUT THAT DOWN YOU OVERGROWN PRINCE!!! OR ULL NEVER SEE A GRAVITY ROOM AGAIN!!" He lowered his gloved hand and went back to his pacing.

Goten couldnt sleep. His eyes just kept opening in the darkness. Where was she? He felt sweat pour against his skin. It was hopless to roll over and try to forget. There was a deep surge of urgency to be alert. Goten sat up breathing hard in his own bed. " Nani I have to find her..!!" He swung his feet along the floor. The window was wide open. Goten pursed his lips together and hopped outside and into the sky. His clothes ruffled as he flew off to meet her.

Trunks blinked and felt Goten leave the room. He sat up as well. The half saiyan made his way to the window. It was dark and the moon was already out and just as full. His hand was at the window sill. " Goten......." He murmered and flet the need to follow. His ki lightly blasted around him and he too was off to see her.


Chapter 22

Bra parked the car and Pan helped carry in the new clothes. They were talking about the day they had had when they walked in on..Pan`s parents!!

Gohan moved as Videl sat up straight on his lap. Bra and Pan both eyed them in slight shock. " Ohh you`re home Pan..chan" Gohan said without breaking much of a sweat. Her red faced mother half smiled and tried to seem calm. " Well..u girls want something to eat?" Pan and Bra both shook thier heads. " No..we were going up to my room..right Bra?" Pan nudged her friend to be out of the strange situation. Bra blinked back into realitly. " Umm yeah..got some clothes to go through.." The girls made thier way past the two grown ups. Once they had dissapered into Pan`s room Videl angerily glared at Gohan. " What is wrong with you!!..They could have seen..seen us.." Gohan causlly raised his brow and smiled. " Ohh Videl-chan..why worry about them..?" She was feeling red and warm in her cheeks. " Why worry..Gohan it seems of late u`ve lost ur marbles.." Her arms fell from his shoulders. Perhaps she would be to teired for what he was after tonite. " Videl-chan..if it makes u feel better i will go outside to train. " She raised a hand to her acing head and half nodded sliding off of him. " Yes..please do Gohan. Ill make sure the girls get to bed so u can come back inside." She wandered toward thier bedroom. Gohan stood and half smirked watching her walk. " Hai..Videl-chan!"

Bra was placing the last box down. Pan still looked as if she had seen a ghost. " Hey Pan..dont freak out..Parents have sex all the time..Urs just are bad at hiding it..hehehehehehe" Bra blinked as Pan nearly glared at her. " The last thing I needed was to see them..like that..ugg I am soooo embaresst..!" Her blue haired friend smiled in comfort to her woes. " Well if it makes u fel any better I walked in on my mom and dad..ohh that was a sight..Mom had dad all tied up or something..You should have heard them try to explain that one to me..I was only four.." Pan shook her head as the vison of Vegeta in chains entered her head. It was soon replaced by a low blush as her fantasy grew purple hair and answered to the name of Trunks. Bra giggled knowing her firned was out there. " Yeah..i think ur dad is pretty hot to.." Pan blinked and looked over at Bra. "That wasnt..what..i was...ummm" Her blush kept Bra smiling that saiyan like smirk. " Ohh come off it..like u NEVER fantasied about doing it with a older more expirenced saiyan guy?" Pan blushed thinking the only one that had ever fallen into that category was Trunks.

Goten was almost to the house when Trunk`s ki came beside him. " Goten-san..what are you doing?" It was a half hearted gulp that escaped Goten`s lips. " Umm..i want to see if Bra-chan is alright.." Trunks laughed a low chuckle outloud. " Gee Goten and here i thought u wanted to spy on her.." A low blush escpaed his best friend and Trunks frowned. " You know..we better go back..seeing the girls in our condition is bad for them.." Goten eyed the front and felt his heart battle to keep going. " Trunks..I cant help what im feeling..I want to be with her.." Trunks let our a low sigh and murmered.." Well i understand..Goten..but belive me..this is for our own good.." Trunks swung a heavey swing straight into Goten`s stomack.

Gohan heard the first punch and eyed the dark sky. His glasses taken off to ease his training exercises. There was no more noise and he went back to his training outside. He knew he had to concentrate hard. Videl kept entering his mind every few seconds. It was extreme control that allowed him to stay outside till the lights in the house went out. He lightly smiled thinking Videl was waitng for him. Pulling off his sweat encased shirt he wandered inside.

Trunks was holding off his best friend to protect the girls a few miles away. " You cant stop me.." Goten breathed inhaling after the punch. " Trunks folded his brows close together. " U baka..there is a reason im doing this!!" Goten swabbed Trunks over his jaw. There was little to be said on Goten`s condition. It seemed Trunks couldnt shake his friends saiyan blood out of him. He drew his arm over his lips. Goten must be more saiyan then i am..but how can that be..we`re both..half..nani...!!.

~Trunks`s flashback~

Her neck had been envaded by a odd set of teeth..Trunks ran his hand over his sister`s slight wound. Had Goten bitten her to mark her as his? Trunks gritted his teeth at the maddness around him. How could he protect Pan if he couldnt even protect his sister from his best friend? He wondered how far Goten would go to reach his sister when the saiyan moon was high...Was his father right..was it truly mating season?

~End Flashback~

Trunks remebered he had not bitten Pan..nor had she bitten him. Perhaps in some barbaric way Goten was effected by the seaonal change..more so cause he had bitten Bra. This would make fighting his friend more difficult. " Goten..just calm down..man..We got to get you out of here.." His best friend stood there eyeing him. " Goten..please man..you got to think clearly..Think of anything but her.." Goten drew his dark brows together in thought.


His lips ran over her bare skin along her shoulder. He moved his skilled hands around her waist. Her body was roughly pulled against his own. Gohan buried his face into her hair and ran his lips over her neck...."....Videl...?" His grip feel away when he had smelled the other scent. The shawdow turned around and eyed him in the dark. " G..GG..Gohan?" He felt the sweat pur from the side of his face. What the heck was Bra doing up in the dark? " Umm.." She was blinking watching waitng for his next action. " Whats a matter..Gohan..? Why you acting so strange?" When she stepped closer he stepped back. " I..umm well thought you were..umm.." Bra smilghty giggled the excitment rushing through her viens. " Videl? Is that who u thought i was in the dark?" Her hands trailed along his exposed chest and Gohan lay back against the wall breathing hard. Bra couldnt shake the feeling of how instense it was becoming between her and Gohan. It reminded her of the way Goten had acted. " you know..I bet you`re just as strong as your brother..Goten.." He was shaking in some sort of feverish fear. It wasnt that he loved Bra..he just wanted something else. " I..wouldnt know..Bra-chan...i dont train like he and Trunks do.." Bra slightly giggled resting her chin on his chest in thought. " Ohh dont let my brother trick u into beliveng that he and Goten train..It is obvoius who the strongest of the Son`s is..." Was she slipping too on him? Bra backed off a bit fevered herself. Even though Gohan had a charm she wasnt feeling the same connection as with Goten. "Bra?" Gohan said in a near whisper and she eyed him. " I know Gohan..something is making us act crazy..and i think i know what it is.." She moved past him and Gohan slumped in relif against the wall.

Pan pulled back the curtains and saw the giant moon eye her. " You stupid moon, why dont you haunt someone else!!" She blinked as she saw Bra wander outside with her father in close tow. What were they doing out there? She opened her window and hovered off to the tree by her room. It was a great place to spy from.

Goten shook his head and his ki started to burn. " I cant..Trunks..Its..to hard for me.." He was sweating and breathing hard. Trunks cursed and tried to help Goten. " Goten..if we go see those girls..we wont be normal.." Goten looked at Trunks aginy near his eyes. "But i dont feel normal now..I..I.." Goten glared off toward Pan`s house his ki flareing gold. Trunks blinked and saw Goten curl hishands into fists before blasting off into the night. Trunks felt the need to follow in hoped of helping his friend and maybe finding Pan.
