Hey guys, Liz here. Last we left off, Trunks had gone to train with Vegeta, Chibi had decided to stay at Capsule Corp in case of an emergency, and Daichi was reeling with the reality of Cell's interference with the timeline. Will things finally change for our heroes now that Bulma has 17's blueprints? Find out now!

Son Squad Ch.45

Three days soon passed, and the situation with Cell wasn't getting any better. He kept going from town-to-town absorbing people in the thousands. At this point, even the news stations running the story 24/7 were losing track of just how many people were now "missing." No matter how many times the Z-fighters rushed to the scene of trouble, they would just be chasing Cell's shadow. Other than the occasional one or two people they could save, most of their work was just a waste of time.

After watching the umpteenth news report, Yamcha had an idea on how to finally catch Cell, and it seemed like a decent one. He suggested flying to the scene in a Capsule Corp plane so Cell wouldn't sense them coming. While it didn't guarantee that they would get right on top of Cell, it was better than what they were all currently doing, so there was that. Leaving by plane were Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Gohan, Chiyo, and F. Daichi, leaving Chi-Chi, Roshi, Chinku, little Daichi, and little Chibi at the Kame House with the still unconscious Goku.

About half an hour after the gang had left to go to the latest Cell sighting, Chinku, Daichi, and Chibiko were all asleep in the living room while Roshi was reading some of his favorite magazines and Chi-Chi went to change Goku's water bucket. The young mother of five looked out the kitchen window at the ocean stretching out in every direction and sighed to herself. She missed looking outside and seeing the mountains' familiar trees and hearing the sounds of birds chirping in the air. The seagulls that flew over the island just didn't have the same ring to them that the blue-jays of the forest did. She wondered when and if she and her family would get to go home. Being stuck on this island felt so isolating and suffocating, especially considering the extra amount of people who kept coming in and out.

All Chi-Chi wanted was her quiet life back, the one she had with her husband so many years ago before they all found out he was an alien. To be honest, Chi-Chi didn't overthink about how Goku wasn't an earthling. Sure, it popped up every now and again in her head, but the daughter of the Ox-King never went into too much depth about it. To her, Goku was still the same man she fell in love with and married. Nothing would change that, not even the truth about his heritage. She always suspected that something was up with Goku. After all, he did have a tail when he was younger. But never in a million years would Chi-Chi have equated that tail to meaning Goku was an extraterrestrial being.

Noticing the bucket was filled, Chi-Chi carefully picked it up from out of the sink and turned to carry it upstairs to her sleeping husband. Before she could even step away from the kitchen sink, though, the ground suddenly shook and caused her to lose her balance and fall over. The shaking brought her to the floor along with Master Roshi, Chinku, and Daichi, with the latter two sleeping on the living room couch. Chibi, who asleep in a small play-pen in the living room, was shaken awake by the sudden quaking and began to loudly sob.

"What on Earth was that?!" Roshi questioned as he got up from his spot off the floor. "I hope that's not the androids!"

Rushing over to the play-pen, Chi-Chi quickly ran and picked up her crying child and rocked the small baby in her arms. As Chibiko cried, Chi-Chi felt a cold sweat run down her back. Had the androids really found them? Fear filled the young woman as she thought about her children and husband being at the mercy of these monsters. If they were half as bad as she was led to believe, Chi-Chi knew that they would easily be able to take care of Goku- "Goku!" Chi-Chi gasped upon realizing her husband was still upstairs, possibly defenseless and being attacked.

With Chibiko still in her arms, Chi-Chi ran up to the room to check on her husband, with Roshi, Chinku, and Daichi following right behind her.

Chi-Chi quickly swung the bedroom door open and gasped when she saw Goku no longer lying down on the mattress on the floor. Goku's wife almost screamed when she saw her husband missing from his resting place. She tried to remain calm until she was absolutely sure something terrible had happened to him. "Goku?" She said, looking around in a vain attempt to see if her husband was still somehow in there.

"Daddy?" Chinku called out when she didn't see her Dad in bed. She wasn't nearly as freaked out as her mother, but you could see the concern written on her small face.

Noticing the open window in the room, Chi-Chi went to stick her head out of it and gasped at the sight she saw outside: the water by the house was being parted in two like something had darted across it so fast that it caused the seawater to part! The others soon poked their heads out the window and gasped upon seeing the crazy water display.

"Holy cow," Daichi gasped, leaning out the window.

Looking to find the source of the parting water, Chi-Chi's eyes widened when she saw who had caused this display of power; it was Goku! He was standing out on the sand and looking out over the waves. "Goku!" Chi-Chi finally cried. A smile came to her face upon realizing that her husband was okay.

"Daddy!" Chinku and Daichi shouted at the same time, grins also coming to their faces.

Without warning, Chi-Chi climbed out the Kame House window while holding Chibiko in her arms before jumping from the roof and rushing over to her husband. She did it with such ease that it was easy to forget that she used to be a martial artist. After seeing this somewhat reckless display from her mother, Chinku followed after Chi-Chi and quickly made it to the ground with no problem. Master Roshi tried to follow after the two girls but was instantly knocked off balance by Goku producing a Kamehameha to shoot out across the ocean. Roshi went head-first out the window and landed into the sand below. Unfortunately for him, just as he was pulling himself out, Daichi landed right on top of the poor old hermit feet-first, sending Roshi back under yet again. (No one tell Chi-Chi her two-year-old son just jumped out the window, okay?)

"Goku!" Chi-Chi squealed as she ran towards her husband.

Hearing his name, Goku turned to his wife racing towards him with Chibiko in her arms and Chinku and Daichi trailing not too far behind. He smiled at the four incoming family members and turned to them with open arms. "Hi," He greeted, truly glad to see them.

Chi-Chi then launched herself at her husband, wrapping one arm around his neck while using the other one to hold Chibi. She squeezed Goku tightly, fearing he would disappear if she let go.

"I'm sorry for worrying you, Chi-Chi," Goku apologized, wrapping his arms lightly around his wife. He loved being able to hold her again. During his slumber, he would see visions of her and his children, but he could never reach them. There was always something blocking him, or they were always just out of reach. Being able to actually have Chi-Chi in his arms again was only confirmation that he was awake. He moved back so he could look at her and her smiling face. "I'm all better now, so you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Are you serious?" Chi-Chi asked, the smile never leaving her face as she looked up Goku.

Before Goku could answer, he was tackled down to the ground by Chinku and Daichi diving in to hug him. "Daddy!" they both cried as they knocked Goku to the ground.

Goku chuckled at the surprise hug attack before sitting up to wrap his arms around the two tots. "Wow, I must be really off my game if you two could surprise me like that," Goku laughed, standing up to hold the two small children. "I hope you two didn't cause any trouble while I was asleep."

"Nuh-uh," Daichi said, shaking his head.

"No trouble at all, Daddy," Chinku added, crossing her arms over her chest in an attempt to be taken as serious. "We were good. And wait until you've seen the training I've been doing. Uncle Yamcha has been teaching me a few moves."

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Up, Daddy!" Daichi cheered out of nowhere. "Up!"

Goku chuckled a bit when he realized what it was that Daichi wanted and carefully put Chinku down. Once she was down, Goku took Daichi and tossed him in the air. He meant for it to be a light toss, but he ended up sending the little toddler up towards the clouds and out of sight. "Oops."

"Goku, that's too high!" Chi-Chi squealed upon seeing her young son thrown into the air.

"I guess I don't know my own strength. Heh heh." He scratched at his chin a bit as he waited for the boy to come back down.

Before Chi-Chi could have a full-on heart attack, Daichi came back from orbit with his hair going all over the place and a massive smile on his face. "Again! Again! Again!" He chanted, thinking that was the coolest thing ever.

"Me next! Me next!" Chinku added in, wanting a turn at this.

"Um, how about no?" Chi-Chi sighed, running a hand through her hair. Goku was going to give her grey-hairs at this rate. "That way, Mommy doesn't have a heart attack or something."

Hearing this, Daichi slid down from his Father's hold just as Master Roshi came over. "Well, it seems you're back to your old self, Goku," Roshi commented, still dusting off some sand that was on him. However, his expression quickly went from warm and inviting to serious. "I hate to say it, but we're in a real mess now."

"I know," Goku stated, furrowing his eyebrows a bit. "I heard everything while I was dreaming, so I already know what we're up against. We're gonna have a real fight on our hands, this time." As he said that, he tightened the belt around his waist and looked ready to fly right then and there. However, as if anticipating that, Chinku grabbed onto her Father's arm, surprising him and causing the saiyan to look down at the little girl.

"You can't go, Daddy," Chinku said, glaring at her Father. After seeing him almost die once before, there was no way she was about to let it happen a second time. "You're not strong enough. And you just got up."

Instead of arguing with her, Goku smiled at the little girl, bent over, and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, Chinku. I know I'm not ready to fight yet," Goku told the child. "After all, if Vegeta couldn't do it, then there's no way I could."

"….So then, are you giving up?" Chi-Chi questioned, not sure what her husband was getting at. He must've still been sick because with how he was talking, it didn't seem like him at all.

Getting restless in her mother's arms, Chibiko started shifting around and started wanting to be put down. Chi-Chi noticed this and put the little baby down, who then crawled over to her Father. She sat at his feet and tugged at his pant leg to get his attention.

Goku looked down at Chibi, picked her up, smiled at the little girl, and showed off a look of determination. "No, I'm not giving up, not yet at least," Goku admitted, holding his finger out for Chibi to take hold of, which she did. "The only way I'll be able to do anything against Cell, and the androids is to take things to the next level."

Everyone else stood there, stunned at Goku's proclamation.

Without saying a word, Goku walked to the edge of the island while still holding Chibiko and looked out over the water. Chibi continued to hold onto his index finger as her Father watched the waves crashing in front of him. Then he looked down at the baby girl and thought about what he had to do to ensure that his family and friends had hope for a better future: "I'm gonna push myself beyond super saiyan."


No one could talk Goku out of leaving. He was determined to take this path. He gave vague answers on how he would do what he needed to do, talking about getting a year's worth of training in a day somewhere. That wasn't super reassuring, but he never wavered in his confidence that it could be done.

As he strapped on his gi and prepared to leave, Chinku nervously rubbed her arm and debated confronting her Dad about going with him. The last time the two actually interacted was back with the mess with android 19 and 20, back when her Father sidelined her from the fight. They hadn't genuinely spoken since, and she wondered if he still held the belief. Maybe she wasn't, and her Dad would just confirm it once again. However, she finally got the nerve to talk to him. "….D-Daddy," Chinku spoke up, walking over to her Dad as he finished putting his boots on. However, when she got to his side, she couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes, fearing he was still mad at her reckless behavior. "I….Well, I….I wanna come with you. I wanna train to help you fight the androids and Cell. Please let me go too."

Goku didn't reply for a moment, and Chinku still didn't dare look up to him.

That's when Goku put a hand on Chinku's shoulder and caused the little girl to look up at him. "….Chinku, I don't know if you're ready for this kind of training," Goku softly told her.

Hearing this brought tears to Chinku's eyes, and she thought she was going to cry right then and there. She stifled back tears as best as she could as she turned away from her Dad's gaze.

However, Goku continued and turned the child's chin back towards him. "I'm sorry, Chin."

"Huh?" She questioned, turning her head and wiping her tears with her fist. "Why are you sorry, Daddy? I should be saying sorry. I caused you to be angry before."

"I put a lot of pressure on you to be ready for this threat, but you still have a lot to learn before you're ready for the intense training I'm about to do," Goku explained, crouching down so he was at eye-level with Chinku. He placed his arms on his knees as he continued: "That doesn't mean you aren't a good fighter, though, and once this is done, I want you to keep up your training. You're gonna be so strong one day. But right now, I need you to stay here with your Mom, little brother, and little sister, okay?"

Part of Chinku was still hurt that her Dad wasn't going to let her go with him, but the other part of her felt somewhat relieved and optimistic at the same time. It just wasn't her time yet, but it would come one day. She looked down at the floor for a moment before looking up at her Father with a smile on her face. "Okay, Daddy. But you better beat those bad guys, okay?"

"Okay." Goku gave her a small kiss on the forehead before standing up to look over at Chi-Chi. "Listen, Chi-Chi, I was thinking of taking Gohan and Chiyo with me to train. That's okay, right?" He didn't think she would say yes to the idea, but it was better to ask first. As soon as he saw her glaring him down, though, he knew that his wife was less-than-happy with the idea. The clenched fists should've also been a dead giveaway.

"You're on your own, Daddy," Chinku whispered to Goku before getting out of her mother's way.

Chi-Chi stomped over to her husband and glared him down, her teeth gritted. He expected her to be okay with him taking her two eldest to do a year's worth of training who-knows-where? "You expect me to be okay with this?" She hissed, her voice dripping with contempt. "Not on your life, mister!"

Hearing her get so heated, Daichi and Chibi ducked behind Chinku, who just stood there and gulped. They all thought their Dad was as good as dead now.

However, instead of tearing Goku a new one, Chi-Chi let out a long and winded sigh. "At least, that's what I would say if I thought it would make a difference. It's not like a have a choice in the matter," Chi-Chi stated, putting her hands on her hips. She gave Goku a playful punch to the face. "So you damn well better beat those androids, okay?"

The savior of Earth inwardly exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded. This was probably hard for his wife to accept. He knew how deeply she cared about him and the kids, but he also knew that she was aware of how bad things were now. The fact that she even said yes without fighting with him about the issue proved how dire this all was. "Deal, Chi-Chi."

"But, once all this fighting's over, you'll help me with some housework, and the kids won't have their studies interrupted. Understood?" All she wanted was for her children to get a proper education and spend more time with her husband.

The saiyan raised on Earth nodded and smiled softly at his wife. "I understand."

He and her locked eyes, and it was almost like the first time they ever met. Well, sorta. Chi-Chi felt her heart leap as she and Goku stared at one another, and it made her feel like she was a young girl again. Then, Goku leaned in to kiss her on the lips, something they didn't do much of anymore.

Once that was done, Goku used instant transmission to find the others and get Gohan, Chiyo, F. Daichi, and F. Chibiko for the intense training they'd need to do to stand a chance.


The plane ride was quiet and tense. Everyone knew what was waiting for them ahead, and it wouldn't be pretty. Of course, no one wanted to acknowledge it aloud. For now, they'd all just silently recognize the situation.

Sitting in the plane's back next to Piccolo, Daichi silently tapped his index finger against the floor. He would glance up every now and again at the others, but he didn't say a word to anyone. Usually, he was the chatty one among the trio that included himself, Trunks, and Chibi, but ever since the events of Gingertown and Nickytown, he had become more stoic. He tried to liven the mood up every now and again, but the others could tell that Cell and his rampage on the world had deeply impacted him. It felt like this unbearable weight was on his shoulders, and he couldn't really talk with anyone about it- what with Trunks going off to "train" with Vegeta and Chibi deciding to stay at Capsule Corp and all. He was basically left to stew in it alone. Daichi was sure it wasn't Trunks and Chibi's intentions to leave him to his thoughts, but that was the unintended consequences of their departures.

As the plane-ride continued, Krillin finally spoke up after a long bought of silence; "Man, if only Goku was here," He sighed aloud.

Just as he said that Goku suddenly appeared in the back of the plane, causing the others to gasp and turn to look at him. "Goku?" Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha gasped when they saw the saiyan.

"Yeah, we could use him right now," Krillin continued, not yet realizing that his best friend was behind him. He was just ranting at this point.

"Dad!" Gohan and Chiyo cheered, smiles on their faces when they saw their Father right behind them.

"You know, he could use that instant transmission trick of his."

"Uh, Krillin?" Daichi spoke up, trying to catch the monk's attention, flabbergasted that his Dad was standing right there before him. He pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming or something.

"And woosh." Krillin finally turned around to see Goku behind him. His eyes widened upon seeing him.

Goku smiled and waved to the others, who all just stared at him. "Hi," He simply said, not really getting how awkward and surprising this was for everyone else involved.

No one replied as they stared at him, all trying to process that Goku was finally better and standing before them. Seeing how awkward the situation was, Daichi decided to break the awkwardness by responding to Krillin's remarks; "Like that, Krillin?" He asked, turning to the shorter man and slightly poking fun at him.

"…Yeah, like that," Krillin replied, his shoulders slumping down a little bit. "He'd just appear and…." It suddenly seemed to dawn on him that Goku was indeed there, and he went from having no emotion at all to being shocked. "….G-Goku?"

"Hey, what's up?" Goku greeted, still not really taking in how shocked the others were to see him up and well.

Krillin, who was overjoyed to see Goku, started crying tears of joy and laughing at being confirmed this was his best friend. Before anyone could stop him, he ran over and tackled Goku into a hug. The force of it all was enough to knock Goku and Krillin through the plane wall and into the sky outside. "Is it, really you?" Krillin sobbed.

Goku nodded as he was hugged.

Not long after, the ship was flown back around to pick up the two, and the hole that was there was soon covered up with some boards. (Not much could be done in the way of adequately preparing in the air). Goku confirmed he was all better and hope rose in the group once more. He then let everyone in on the plan to combat the threat of androids and Cell: the hyperbolic time chamber. It seemed like the best option to deal with everything.

"The hyperbolic time chamber?" Daichi questions, still not yet properly introducing himself to Goku.

"Yeah," Goku answered, turning to Daichi. "It's a place where you can get a year's worth of training in a day. I tried it once when I was younger. It's a good idea to train there with Vegeta and Trunks." It was only when Goku got a better look at the young man that he realized that this had to be his youngest son's future version. He remembered hearing about him while he slept, but seeing this Daichi before him was something different entirely. He smiled as he placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "You must be the Daichi that came back with Trunks, right?"

"…Y-Yeah, that's me," Daichi stuttered out, suddenly getting nervous out of nowhere. He didn't think that he would get this tense when properly meeting Goku, yet hear he was on the verge of shaking like a leaf.

"Awesome," Goku said. "That means you should come training with us."

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah. I mean, we'll need all the help we can get to beat the androids and Cell. You and the Chibiko that came with you should come with us. I'm sure you two will be big helps in dealing with them. You can both go super saiyan, right?"

"Well, sure but-"

"Then it's settled; you will come training with the twins and me."

How could Daichi say no to it? I mean, it was a chance to do something other than mope around. Not only that, but he and Chibiko could actually get the opportunity to know their Father better, and why pass up on a chance like that? "Okay then," He said with a smile.

"You sure about this, Goku?" Piccolo questioned Goku. "If I recall, you barely could last a month in there."

"This time will be different, though," Goku assured Piccolo. "We're all way stronger than the last time I went in there. Besides, it's not like we have many other options, now do we?"

Piccolo sighed and nodded. "You're right," Piccolo stated. He looked up from his spot on the floor and gave Goku a serious look. "Just hurry. Cell is out there absorbing entire cities. If he reaches his final form, it's all over for us."

"I know." Goku then looked at the three Son kids. "You guys ready?"

The twins looked between each other for a moment. Both Gohan and Chiyo still weren't sure about this whole "training for a year in a day," but they trusted their Dad's judgment on it all. They both nodded between each other before turning to Goku. "We're ready," They both answered.

"Count Chibi and me in too," Daichi added afterward. "Oh, that reminds me; Chibi's at Capsule Corp with Bulma. Will we be able to swing by and grab her?"

"That shouldn't be too much of a problem," Goku replied. "We can grab her and then head to where Vegeta and Trunks are."

And with that, the three grabbed hold of Goku and took the short trip to Capsule Corp. It was only after Goku left that the four-remaining Z-fighters realized that they could've had Goku use his instant transmission to get them to Cell's location in no time flat.


Chibiko was actually getting used to caring for Trunks. She figured out the tricks and tactics to use on the small tot to keep him happy. The young woman quickly learned how to hold him, feed him, and, unfortunately, change his diaper no problem to the point that Bulma barely noticed Trunks in the lab. Chibi did have an issue with Trunks continually pulling at her hair, but she learned to put it up in a bun to avoid being tugged at.

Every now and again, when she wasn't busy caring for the small baby, Chibi would check in on the progress of Dr. Brief and Bulma's work. They usually gave vague answers like, "We're getting somewhere." or "Progress is slow going." She assumed things were going well, though, and tried to not bother them too much.

After putting Trunks down for an afternoon nap, Chibi went over to see Dr. Briefs scanning the blueprints again and Bulma busily typing at her computer. "Damn it," Bulma mumbled to herself as she typed away. "There's still so much we're missing here."

"Hitting a snag, Bulma?" Chibi asked the blue-haired scientist, sitting down next to her.

"No joke," Bulma sighed, leaning back while her computer tried running through another set of data again. She ran a hand through her shoulder-length blue hair and looked like she was gonna start crying out of frustration. "I knew this wouldn't be a cake-walk, but I thought it would be easier than this."

"I'm sure you'll crack things soon, Bulma. I wish there was more I could do to help you."

"Well, I guess you can keep me company while I'm waiting for all this stuff to go through the system checks." Reaching across her desk, Bulma grabbed her mug of coffee and took a small swig of it. Once she was done with that, she turned her attention to Chibiko. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, I guess," Chibi shrugged, not sure what exactly Bulma would want to ask her about. "What is it?"

"Well, it's about Trunks. And not little Trunks; the one from the future." She put her mug back down on her desk and put her hands on her lap. "I have a few questions about him."

"Go ahead. Ask away." Chibi figured that she could answer any inquiry Bulma had in regards to her future son. She guessed whatever it would be was important enough to ask about, so Chibi listened to what Bulma had to say.

"Tell me more about him. I've barely had time to interact with Trunks all that much, and I feel like I know so little about him. What's he like as a person?"

"Well….where do I start?" Chibi leaned back in her chair a bit and looked up at the ceiling. "He's serious. I mean, not as serious as me, but still serious enough. He's always putting pressure on himself to get it right. I mean, it's probably because he cares so much about others and hates to see them suffer. When he finally lets his guard down and smiles, though…..gosh, he almost lights a room or something." Chibi didn't notice her cheeks flushing red at this point. She continued; "He's a realist about things, but you can always tell that he's hoping for the best. He's willing to do anything to help others, even if he almost dies in the process. That's just the kind of self-sacrificing person he is."

Bulma smirked a bit when she noticed how red Chibi's cheeks were getting the more she talked about Trunks. She knew right away that Chibi's feelings towards Trunks were more than platonic. "I see," Bulma slyly remarked, catching Chibi's attention. "You sure hold Trunks in high regard."

"Well, he may get on my nerves sometimes, but he-" It was only when Chibi saw the look on Bulma's face that she knew something was up. Her face became even redder, and she quickly threw her hands up. "W-Wait a minute, Bulma! It's not what you think!"

"You like him, don't you~?" Bulma teased Chibi, the smirk not leaving her face.

"N-Not like that!" Chibi tried to explain, her arms slightly flailing as she did so. "H-H-He's more like a brother to me, that's all! I-I-I-I've never seen him as anything more than that!"

"Sure, Chibi, I believe you."

Before Chibi could get any more teasing from Bulma, Goku, the twins, and Daichi suddenly appeared to come to get her. "Hey, Chibi. We're here to get you for-" Daichi began to explain.

However, Chibiko quickly cut him off by jumping out of her seat and running over to them. "Great, let's go, now!" She stated, grabbing hold of Daichi's shoulder. She needed to leave right then and there.

Goku was slightly surprised by this being his first interaction with the future version of Chibiko. For some reason, he had assumed she would be more serious than this. Maybe he had interpreted things from his dreams wrong. Not everything made sense in his dreams and visions. I mean, there was a point when he was just sitting on the moon talking with a woman with saiyan armor on. She had very kind looking eyes and familiar spiky hair, but Goku couldn't hear a word she was saying to him. He kept telling her that, but she just continued to talk. At the end of their "conversation," she hugged him before disappearing right before him. That slightly bugged him since he didn't even get the woman's name, but now wasn't the time to try and interpret dreams and visions.

"Hey Chibiko, are you okay?" Gohan asked upon seeing Chibi's red face. "Your face is all red. Are you sick or something?"

"No, I'm fine! We can go now!" Chibiko quickly snapped. That definitely seemed more in line with how Goku thought she would behave.

With the go-ahead from Chibiko, Goku used his instant transmission to get to where Vegeta and Trunks were.

Some intense training is about to start for the Saiyans. What does this mean for the future of this timeline? Find out next time on the Son Squad! (Also, for those of you wondering who that woman was that Goku had seen in his dream, it was Gine. I just had to add her in here).

Anyway, this will be the last chapter for the year and I will update the first Saturday of January. I want to take a bit of a break before continuing. Some big stuff is coming up in terms of the plot, and my indecisive butt needs to decide what to commit to for certain upcoming plot points. I also am trying to revise all the old chapters since I went back to read them and found that they were….well, they were pretty bad. So, yeah. Old chapters definitely need revision.

Have a good day everyone and thank you so much for your continual support! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to you all, and remember to wash your hands!
