It wasn't long before Mejihen had his fill. He was surprised at the amount of food and the ferocity with which some of the others ate. He spent most of the meal watching everyone eat out of the corner of his eye. Before he could take one bite out of his meal, it seemed as though some of them had finished eating. Goten and Trunks continuously eyed each other as if it was a race of who would finish the fastest,. Vegeta, whom Mejihen only managed to glance at before Vegeta glanced back, seemed to eat without even looking at his food. It was like he was guarding it,. 'But who would want to take it from him?', Mejihen thought. He kept his eyes on his meal for the rest of the time because of the constant feeling of being watched by Vegeta. Mejihen didn't want to think of the consequences of looking up.

They all walked over to the living room to start Mejihen's story. He sat down on a large armchair and let his eyes roam the room. Everyone had sat down already looking at him impatiently. He wondered if they truly didn't want to be there listening to him. He started to get worried that no one was going to help him after all. No one seemed to trust him. The only one that seemed to enjoy his company was Junior. He was no help to Junior anyway, just good company: someone to lighten the mood.

"Would you get on with it!" a voice yelled gruffly.
Mejihen broke from his trance. Vegeta stared at him with a scowl that Mejihen was now sure was permanent.
"Right, right, sorry for delaying.," Mejihen replied as he got more comfortable in his armchair. This story was going to take a while. He hated interrupting himself, so he tried to sit as comfortably as he could.

"Ummm....hmmmm.... In order for me to tell what is going on, I have to tell you some of the history of my people. The historical translations probably changed over the millennia, so right now, to my people, it's more of a story, or fairytale would be the right word. What I'm about to tell you now has only been passed down verbally through the generations." Mejihen briefly touched the blue stone around his neck. It pulsed a calming light and dimmed down. "Of the Stone Carriers."

"My family is, was.... the carrier of the Water Stone. There are also the Spirit, Fire, Air and Earth stones. Each stone..."

"Enough with this stupid story! I don't have time to hear this foolishness! Get to the point or forget it!"
"Vegeta!!" Bulma shouted.

"No, Bulma, he's right," Pan started, "If Mejihen really needed help, he would have just cut to the chase. We don't need to hear the whole background." Pan turned to Mejihen. "Isn't that right? You aren't going to just confuse us with a pointless story now, are you Mejihen?" she said in a malicious tone.

"Pan! What is wrong with you! What in the hell has got you on the edge!" Videl shouted. Everyone looked at the bickering family. This didn't seem right, they thought. Mejihen almost felt by everyone's reaction to the fighting that something was wrong. Only the people arguing didn't see that the way they were acting was wrong.

“Videl, honey, we can talk about this together at home. Then we could find out...” Gohan started, trying to calm down his wife.

“No, Gohan! We raised you better than that, Pan!”

“Mom! I don’t need to hear this! You have no idea...”

“No idea? I’m your mother for Kami-sake!”

“Pan... What is this all about? We are you parents, we should know...”

“There is nothing wrong!!” Pan shouted.

Mejihen watched the commotion in front of him. Goten and Trunks, he noticed, were inching their way towards the door while Bulma and Vegeta were arguing with each other. ChiChi was watching the argument not knowing watch to do and Bra was standing in the background shivering. Frightened, Junior crept towards Mejihen, keeping his eyes on Pan.

Junior knew something was different about Pan. Mejihen, upset at himself for what he started, watched Pan as well.

Junior was right. There was something wrong. He seemed to sense it perfectly while Pan was arguing and although Mejihen didn't know Pan as well as Junior, he seemed to think there was something wrong with her too.
"Well you could just..."
Mejihen felt his stone growing warm.
"I hate all of this..."
He looked down at it. It was glowing a bright blue.
"And all this shit happening you don't know..."
Mejihen held his stone and closed his eyes while he said a quiet incantation. He opened his eyes and focused at Pan. What he saw shocked him.
"Can't you just stay out of my..."
Pan had a black aura around her and it was growing bigger. Mejihen let go of the stone but the aura remained.
"Just stay out of my..."
Junior closed his eyes. Mejihen felt his stone growing so hot, it almost burned. Everyone in the room was watching Pan, but they didn't seem to see the black aura around her.
"Fucking life!!" Pan screamed.
The aura exploded.
Mejihen felt the heat brush buy him from the explosion. The stone around his neck automatically threw up a shield to be protected from the explosion of Pan's aura. He had never seen anything like that before but he knew that his stone allowed him to see what can't usually be seen. Although Junior had seen it though. Maybe it was because of the stone or perhaps he just had that ability, Mejihen didn't know. He couldn't see anything in the room because the explosion briefly blinded him.

Mejihen assumed that Pan blasted the hole in the roof and her father followed her. He assumed that a lot of people on the planet could fly, thinking of Junior and his non-fear of heights, as though he was used to it. Mejihen didn't know what to perceive of Bra, and why was she like that on the ground. Had she seen the aura also, he thought. He decided that she didn't only see it, but was affected by it to the full extent. But if they were such close friends, Mejihen assumed, why would Bra be affected by it now? Something had to be wrong and Mejihen didn't like this turn of events one bit.
