Chapter 42
"SWEET DENDE!!!" Bra screamed. "Aiko?"
Aiko laughed at her, "I have never seen you so happy to see me. I thought I was a plight on society. A determent to myself and others."
Bra couldn't believe her eyes. She had known about the other Trunks who had come from the future to warn everyone about the androids. But she had never expected to meet a time traveler herself. "Why are you here?" Bra wanted to reach out and touch the other girl. The likeness to Pan was incredible. There was a touch of Trunks in her features. Those eyes shined so brightly as well. Positive proof that this was Trunks' daughter standing in front of her.
"To tell the truth I am not sure why the machine sent me here." Aiko snorted, "I was just messing around and bumped into the button." It was a simple lie, telling Bra that her brothers had tossed her in the damn thing would only add damage to the time line. "Next thing I new I was here. I would have gone back right away, but the machine is kind of out of fuel. I am not sure what Grammy B uses in them."
"Grammy B?" Bra smiled.
"I am in so much trouble. I decided to spend the night on the town and do some shopping. Before I go back and face the music." Aiko looked over at a rack of clothing. "You know I think you have those pants." She walked over and lifted them off the rack. "Yeah I stole, um… borrowed them once and… Oh yeah, never mind. Here buy two."
Bra was listening carefully and was now glaring at the girl. "You really are a brat, aren't you?"
Aiko ignored her "Hey, I know! You can ask Grammy B about the time machines! That way no one will know about me and then maybe, just maybe, I can get home without Mom and Dad chewing a strip up and down my back." Aiko looked around and sighed, "If I keep screwing up at this rate I will never get my belly button pierced."
Bra made a face full of revulsion. "Yuk. Why would you want to get a…Yuk."
"I don't really, but it keeps Dad upset." Aiko laughed. "It is almost as good as the time I told mom I was going to explore my sexuality."
"That is not funny." Bra was shocked that this girl could be the cute little baby she had held at the hospital only days before.
"You know, mom didn't think so either." Aiko smirked like Vegeta. Bra was taken back by the sudden resemblance to Vegeta. It was just plain freaky.
"Maybe we had better get you over to Capsule." Bra took Aiko's arm and began to lead her toward the door.
Aiko began to drag her feet. "But Dad is sure to see me there!"
"I think that is the point." Bra answered
"Traitor! I am going to tell grandpa Vegeta!" Aiko screamed.
Bra froze for a moment. Wasn't that her line?

Trunks was sprawled on the couch. His hang over had long since been gone. He wondered how he had gotten home since he barely remembered anything after the first couple drinks. There had been a girl. He remembered her. The there was the most important thing on his mind, Pan. She had not called today. He was worried about her and Aiko. Where were they and what was happening to them. Did Aiko have everything she needed? His thoughts were interrupted by someone struggling at the door. He got up and walked over to see Bra dragging a girl into the house. "Bra what are you doing."
"Now you've done it!" Aiko hissed looking right at Trunks.
"Trunks I want you to meet someone very special." Bra pushed the girl forward. Aiko almost lost her footing and fell forward.
Trunks reached out to balanced her. She held on to his arm as her hair fell around her face. Trunks could almost swear that this girl was Pan. She was just a bit taller. There were differences that he sensed more then saw. His eyes nuts be deceiving him. She looked up spiting her hair out of her mouth. Her face. She looked so much like the woman he loved. "Pan who is this?" He held on to the girl's arms as she tried to back up.
"Trunks say hello to your daughter." Bra gestured at Aiko. Aiko turned and narrowed her blue eyes on her Aunt.
"My daughter? Bra are you on drugs?" Trunks let go of the girl.
Bra walked over and spun Aiko around so that she faced her father straight on. "Look at her, you idiot. It's Aiko."
Aiko shifted from side to side. "But Aiko is in America with Pan. Aiko is a baby." Trunks senses screamed that Bra was right, yet his mind raged back with the facts.
"She used Mom's time machine, Trunks." Bra threw her hands in the air. "Fine, believe what you want. I am going to get mom. So we can send her back." She pushed past Trunks and headed toward the lab.
Aiko looked at the floor. She had never even considered that fact that her father wouldn't know her. He had always known her inside and out. She couldn't even plan to sneak out of the house. He would be waiting for her when she got out.
Trunks stared at her as she fidgeted, Her hands in her pockets. "Are you really my Aiko?" He asked.
Aiko almost considered telling him no. "Yes." She looked up at him. He looked exactly as she remembered him when she had last seen him seventeen years it the future.
Trunks watched her look up at him with defiant eyes. He had seen that look before. HE reached out as he had so many times before. The familiar feeling of his daughter distinct ki pattern answered him. Aiko. There were no words. He just grabbed hold of the girl and held he close to his heart.
Aiko felt her father's love enfold her. She talked into his chest "And here I thought you were going to kill me for using the time machine."
"No, Aiko." Trunks looked down at her. "You could never have come at a better time." He pushed her hair face and studied her face. So much of her mother was there. He felt the tears forming as he watched her eyes move over the room. "What are you looking for?"
Aiko stepped back "Not what. Who? Where is mom? The two of you are forever joined at the hip."
"She is not here right now." Trunks said.
Aiko gave a confused expression. "But…" She started. Looking past him she smiled "Vegeta." She pushed around Trunks and threw herself at the Saiyan Prince.
Vegeta was caught up in a strong embrace. "Let me go, woman, get your hands off me." He pushed Aiko away, then glared at Trunks "You care to tell me who this child is?"
"How about we spar and you can find out!" Aiko jumped up and kicked at Vegeta who easily blocked it.
"Ha spar with you." Vegeta spat "that would not even be worth my effort, Trunks who is this?"
Aiko froze "Not worth you effort. I was trained by the greatest fighter in the universe."
"I doubt that." Vegeta watched her smile
"Try me." Aiko walked past him "I will be in your gravity room. Meet me there in five minutes." She tossed over her shoulder for good measure "That is, of course, if you aren't scared!"
