Dragonball GT Episode 2: I'm Part of the Main Cast!  Pan Goes into Space! 

(original, Japanese episode)

The episode begins with the busy streets right outside of Capsule Corp. Headquarters and the arrival of a hover-limo to the main entrance.  Rows of men in black suits and ties await the arrival of none other than the new President of Capsule Corp. (no, not Bulma)...Trunks!  As he enters the building he's flanked by the suited men discussing the various business dealings of the company and the girls working in the offices all stop to take a peek at the "cute" and "cool" (their words) young president.  For all of his wealth and obvious power...the young president is not happy.  He manages to make his way into an elevator alone with a sigh of momentary relief.  His peace doesn't last.  He makes his way to his office only to be greeted with yet another mountain of paperwork from one of his executives and a ton of scheduled meetings by his secretary.  But as she reads off the day's itinerary, Trunks makes his escape out of his office window...flying, it seems, gives him one of his few moments of peace.

Next we see the Son house with Goten talking on the phone (as he is constantly prone to) with yet another one of his girlfriends and little Pan-chan watching cartoons on TV.  She wonders (out loud) if Uncle Goten will dump this girl as quickly as others.  Goten informs her she's just a kid and doesn't understand to which Pan storms off saying, "I'm not a KID."  Meanwhile, we see Goku, Gohan and Chi-chi at the kitchen table and Videl preparing food.  They are discussing Gohan's help with Bulma to design a spaceship for Goku to seek out the Black Star Dragon Balls.  We find that Goku doesn't really want to go, and that they could just teleport everyone on Earth to another planet if need be.  Gohan explains he will go with Goku as well...which puts Chi-chi more at ease since she trusts him with the task more than Goku!  Pan also wants to go with her father and the others tell her this isn't for fun...and Goku says to give up because you're too small.  Pan points out that she is bigger than him in his current state!

Later we find Bulma working on the spaceship and it brings back some old memories.  Outside we see a man spying on Capsule Corp with binoculars and a 2-way radio communicating what he sees.  He describes the first person he sees...who happens to be: Vegeta (now sporting short spiky hair and a moustache).  We find that they are there to kidnap Bulma for ransom!  Vegeta notices the man but just grunts and continues walking.  Inside Gohan and Videl have begun to help Bulma with the ship and Pan goes to each one in turn wanting to help.  They each explain they really don't have anything for her to do since she's so small, which just adds to Pan's frustration.  Pan has a rather hot temper and in her frustration, kicks the side of the ship...denting it and loosening a thruster!  She quickly moves a crate in front of the dent and leaves before anyone can notice.  As she goes outside the spy reports in and is told to grab her but unbeknownst to them, Goku decided to follow her since he's bored.  As the unwitting spy lunges for Pan she flies off and he grabs Goku.  Goku, obviously unconcerned, nerely asks..."Who are you?"

Next we see Mr. Satan's Home/Dojo with hundreds of people training outside.  Inside, a very balding Satan watches his little Pan-chan work off frustration by beating up twenty or so of his best students.

At the same time, Goku is having his would-be kidnappers feed him.  A task that they will soon learn can be quite expensive.  His kidnapper is reporting to another fellow in a car and they assume that Goku must be some secret love child of Trunks that is being kept secret and figure he'll be worth even MORE money.  They call Bulma and told her her grandson Goku has been kidnapped and they want a ransom, but Bulma asks if he got lost or something.  The kidnapper begins to yell saying that she's not listening and his phone card runs out of time cutting him off.  Bulma tells Gohan that Goku must have gotten lost and they figure he always finds his way home and continue their work.

Satan decides to take Pan to have a snack and find out what is upsetting her so much.  He sympathizes with her about how everyone treats her like a kid and we find he really is a good grandfather and cares about his "little Pan-chan" more than anything.  Pan orders a coffee and Satan a big huge sundae, which the waitress mixes up.  Satan gives Pan a motivational speech about not being little but is finally overcome with the urge to hug his little angel, which makes her mad.

Back at the "kidnappers" we see Goku and his bumbling abducters on a roller coaster.  Goku is thoroughly enjoying himself and his kidnapper looks as if he's about to have a heart attack.  The second kidnapper makes another phone call this time to: Vegeta.  He demands 500 million zenny or else they will not return Goku!  He also tells Vegeta not to tell the police or Goku is a dead kid.  Vegeta's only reply, "Do what you want with him." And hangs up!  They all get back in the car and Goku says they have been really nice to him but he has to go home.  They ask him to be patient for just a little while because he has to make a phone call first so Goku flies off through the car roof and helps out by bringing an entire phone booth to the kidnapper!  The two would-be kidnappers just sit their with their jaws on the floor...not quite believing what they saw as Goku flies back home.

Back at Capsule Corp. HQ we see Trunks once again sneaking out of his office window but this time his flight is interrupted by Vegeta, who scolds him about his duties.  And Vegeta is next seen dragging both Trunks and Goten by the scruff to the spaceship as they are going too as Vegeta feels they have both been slacking in their training!  Goten tries to talk his way out of it by saying Chi-chi wouldn't want her "favorite" son flying off into space and Vegeta tells him she was quite for the idea.  Trunks also tries to get out of it by saying he's the resident of Capsule Corp. do there's no one to run it...Vegeta explains his mother was president long before him and can still more than manage it.  As they all prepare to board the ship we see Bra, Vegeta and Bulma's daughter (who looks very much like a young Bulma).  Goten receives a call from a girlfriend and walks to where he can hear well away from the ships engines as Goku and Trunks board.   Inside they find Pan sitting at the controls and she says she was tired of waiting and hits the launch button!

So it leaves only Trunks, Goku and Pan on the ship as it takes off!  As they disappear into the sky a small piece of the ship falls to the ground...a piece loosened from Pan's kick earlier.  Bulma sees it and tries to recall what it could be but has to research it further.
