Disclaimer- I don't own Trigun. If I did, I wouldn't be wasting my time writing fanfics.

Vashluver1- So, Wolfwood! Where is Vash?

Wolfwood- I'll never tell you, you crazed Vash fanatic!

Vashluver1- I have my ways of dealing with unwilling anime characters like you.

She holds up an eraser.

Wolfwood- NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T ERASE THAT!!!!!!!!! I NEED THAT!!!!!!!!!!! MILLIE WILL BE VERY MAD AT YOU!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine! I'll tell you!

Sigh

Vashluver1- What fragile bonds of loyalty. Don't worry! Danielle will have you soon!

Wolfwood- Is she another crazed fanatic like you? If she is, I'll have to worry.

Chapter 1 His Return

'Where is he? He said he would be here. Is he ok? I hope so. What if- No! He didn't die! Did he?' Meryl had been mulling over Vash's return ever since he left a year ago.

Ding dong!

'Maybe it's him!' She hoped. She slowly opened the door with anticipation.

"Hey, Small Girl! How are you?" It was Wolfwood!

"Mr. Wolfwood? Is that really you? Oh my God! It is you! Milly will be so happy! You have to see her! You have to meet Little Nicky! Milly has been dying to see you. Follow me." Meryl said without taking a breath.

"Yeah. It is me. And don't say the lord's name in vain. Wait! Who's Little Nicky?"

Meryl giggled. "You'll see." She led him to the living room where Milly was sitting with her son.

"Mr. Priest!"

"Mr. Wolfwood, meet Little Nicky. Little Nicky, meet your daddy!" Meryl introduced a very excited infant to a very surprised looking priest.

"F-f-father? I'm a father? Milly, do you know what we need to do now?"

"What is that Bokushi-san?"

"We need to get married! What do you say?"

"Oh yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Millie jumped onto Wolfwood's neck. "I have to go feed Little Nicky. I'll be right back."

"Ok. Bye Honey"

"So "Bokushi-san"! Where in God's name have you been?" Meryl inquired.

"Don't say the lord's name in vain! I'm going to tell you about how I was dead and how I was brought back to life when Vash gets home."

Those words shot through Meryl's heart like bullets.

"You were expecting him weren't you? I'm sorry I'm not him."

"No! I wasn't expecting him! Why would I be expecting a skirt-chasing, ignorant, obnoxious, broom-headed idiot like that? I do not sink that low, Wolfwood!" She quickly covered herself up.

"Right, Meryl. Right." Wolfwood didn't believe a word of it. He knew that Meryl and Vash had a thing for each other although they would never admit it themselves. "I'm going to see Milly. Oh! And by the way, great hair!"

Meryl's hair had grown past her shoulders. It was long and silky. She wished Vash were here to see it. "Thank you, Wolfwood." 'Oh I miss him so much!'

'I cannot believe that Milly didn't wonder where I had been. She was probably blinding by her excitement. I'll tell them when Vash gets here.' Wolfwood thought.

ONE YEAR LATER

'I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS HE?????????? HOW CAN IT TAKE THIS LONG???????' Life for Meryl had been torture. She hated waiting and waiting. She refused to leave in case he came and they weren't there. Her hair had grown down her back a lot. She didn't want to cut it. She actually liked it long. She had never thought herself as pretty before but now, she had to think about that. The problem was her job. She worked as a waitress and the customers were mostly drunk men who wanted a piece of her ass. She got into trouble more that once for hitting men upside the head. 'At least Vash never did that. I don't think I would mind it, though! Ah! She mentally slapped herself. Stop thinking such things, Meryl. Get your mind out of the gutter! You don't need him.'

"Meryl! Get back to work!" Her boss yelled at her.

"Yes Ma'am!" 'wicked tricksy false!'

ANOTHER YEAR LATER

"Millie, Wolfwood, Nicky, I'm home!" Meryl walked into her kitchen. "Millie? Wolfwood? Is anyone home? Hello?" Meryl was getting scared. "Oh my God! Vash? Is that you? Is that really you? Hey! Those are my doughnuts! Where have you been? Do you know how worried I have been? Three years is much too long, Vash. Hello in there! Are you listening to me? I'm talking to you! How annoying!" she walked off leaving a very stunned Vash behind.

Vash had been staring at her the whole time. 'Was that Meryl? She looks so different. She defiantly acts like Meryl. She was worried about me? Wow! I didn't think that was possible. She looks really beautiful. Did I just say that? I hope she doesn't get anymore mad at me. Who's Nicky? Wait a minute. Wolfwood? B-b-b-b-b-but, he's dead! Is he here? Oh my God! I have to talk to Meryl!'

To be continued...

Vashluver1- How was it, Wolfwood? I brought you back to life and made Millie happy!

Wolfwood- Uh...

Vashluver1- I loved it!

Wolfwood- Of course you did! You're the one who wrote it!

Vashluver1- Yeah. But something happened so I had to replace this chapter. It's different than what it was.

Wolfwood- Whatever. At least you have a chapter. At least it wasn't deleted altogether!

Vashluver1- I guess you're right. Please read and review readers! I need the encouragement!
