*~*~*~*~*~*
*Not again…this is getting too old, too fast! Why can't anything go RIGHT in my life instead of everything going WRONG! It sure is dry here. Eek. I am afraid to wake up now. Every time I wake up it is different. Maybe if I just peek… YIPES! What was that! It didn't look human. Uh oh. I think it knows that I am awake. Oh well, maybe it is friendly. Just gotta hope it doesn't wield a gun!*
I opened my eyes and surveyed the scene carefully. One green man with antennae and Arabian-looking garb, one old, gray-haired man with big glasses and a mustache with a cigarette poking out beneath, one little boy with black hair, one older guy with black hair *hey…he is pretty cute!*, one short, bald, um, boy? I couldn't tell it was a boy or a midget. He LOOKS older. Anyways, one angry, frustrated-looking woman, one blue-haired preppy woman *I thought it would be a while before I saw blue hair again!*, a cat, a pig, a short, chubby, ugly man, and a short-haired blonde with a happy expression frozen for an eternity into her facial features. I began to shake nervously as the green man poked me and asked me if I was ok. "Yeah, sure, if you count hallucinating green men ok…" I muttered. "What?" he hissed. I took in a deep breath and shouted what I had said to him. He grinned evilly and shook his head. "This is not a hallucination, little girl. I am Piccolo from the planet Namek and you landed in the professor's yard." He stated angrily. An image came to mind as he spat this all at me. Before I was catapulted out of my 'home' dimension, I remembered a show Kento use to watch. It was a wrestling show called WWF: Raw is War. I remembered sitting down to watch it with him one time and seeing one specific man who caught my eye. The Rock was his name, and the reason he came to mind at this particular moment was because this green man had the same "know-your-role-and-shut-your-mouth" attitude. I chuckled and glanced down at the restraints they had on me. "Afraid a little girl like me may hurt you?" I teased. Cutie black-haired man stepped forward and grinned. "Merely a safety precaution until we find out about you. Doc?" he said. I melted at the sound of his voice and the black haired woman seemed to sense this. "Ahem. Lady, he is taken, so don't get any smart ideas," she retorted. I sniffed at her direction, rolled my eyes, and stared at a spot on the ceiling. I got bored so I started re-arranging the ceiling tiles. The others looked up and saw this and muttered. "How the hell is she doing this? I never learned how to move objects like that in MY training." A few of them gawked. I raised an eyebrow at them, shrugged my shoulders, and returned the tiles to their original places. "Sorry, I was bored." I stated. They stared at me and just released me, knowing I could have gotten myself out if provoked. I thanked them and sat on the edge of the table. "Soooo…exactly where am I? I am happy to be catapulted into this dimension and be on a planet instead of in space." I said, stretching and rubbing my wrists. "Well…you are on earth. That 'green man' over there is from Namek, a planet that is several thousand light-years away from here. That short, chubby man over there, well, I don't know where he is from. Me, I am a Sayain. Everyone else is human," the cute guy told me. I nodded and stared at the wall. "Well, I am Amber and I am from earth, but a different dimension of it. Every time a certain thing happens, I am catapulted into another dimension." I told them sadly. "What happens to make you become catapulted into another dimension?" the doc asked me. I looked at him and smiled sadly. "Every time I fall in love with someone I become catapulted into another dimension. I come from a dimension where a group called the Ronin Warriors protects the earth from evil, and I was one of them. I had been in that dimension the longest, around five hundred years to be precise. I had the armor of lightning, and, incidentally, the 'soul' of the armor was 'love'. I was never able to find anyone who truly loved me in that dimension until recently and we were to be married. It was also inscribed that I was to marry the leader of the Ronin Warriors to prevent evil from taking over the world and it was only by chance that he was that person. One night we were talking about wedding preparations and we went to sleep when it got dark and when I woke up I was in total darkness. I felt around and tried to find a way out, and I found more than I bargained for. The person waiting for me outside whatever I was in wielded a gun and he finally caught up to me and shot me in the leg and a whole series of events happened. I found out I was in space in a totally different dimension. I fell in love with those people's enemy and was being jettisoned to a colony during a battle when I was sucked into another 'black hole' and I ended up here." I told them. They stared blankly at me for a while. The first movement was the dark-haired woman. She moved up to the cute guy and wrapped her arms around him, frowning at me. "Well don't think you are going to fall in love with my Goku! No way!" she stated angrily. I chuckled and gave her a re-assuring look. "Even though he is a hunk, I see he is taken and I have more respect than to take someone else's man." I stated, causing her to sigh a satisfied sigh. Just then another man with black hair sticking straight up and angry-looking eyes entered with a teen that looked like him with different colored hair. "Sorry I am late. What did I miss?" he said hoarsely. I stared at the teen. He was cute also, and not quite as 'hard' looking as his father. I grinned and waved to them. "Nothing much, just giving my life story and how I ended up here. Is it safe to go outside? I need some fresh air. No matter, I will just check it out anyways." I said, disappearing and reappearing outside. I stretched and leapt up to the side of a building, using it to leap to another building nearby. I leapt from one to the other, thrusting myself up into the air, until I reached the roof. I looked down to see everyone rush outside and begin looking for me. I grinned and just moved away from the edge so they couldn't see me. I lay down, putting my hands behind my head and staring up at the strange looking sky. I closed my eyes and saw Ryo standing over me, kissing me and hugging me. Tears began to course down my face as I saw him and Anubis and everyone else. Oh how I missed them. I became aware that a shadow was really over me and I leapt up, fully alert. It was the teen. I frowned at him and sat back down. "What's the matter? Don't think I am a formidable opponent? Just because I am young, don't underestimate me," he hissed. I stood up and held my arms out. "Attack me then?" I said, staring straight into his eyes. He began to gather energy into a ball as I jumped down from the building, landing a distance away. He shouted his attack and threw it at me. I formed my hands into the 'I love you' in sign language, a new shielding technique I learned, and held my arms crossed over my chest with my eyes closed. I felt the energy hit the shield, but it was not enough to penetrate it. I opened my eyes and grinned. He got angry and began to throw several balls of energy at me. I just closed my eyes and let each hit my shield. When he stopped, I opened my eyes and he was right in front of me. "Why do you not fight back? Are you scared?" he asked. I shook my head. Keeping my hands formed into the 'I love you', I lowered the cross to where it crossed over my thighs and I concentrated. When I felt the energy building up I raised them up to either side of my body and straight out, forming half of a heart. I continued up and down to where they were across my chest before, completing a heart made of energy. I shouted "Love" and raised my hands above my head, breaking the 'I love you' to cup the bottom of the heart above me. I then moved my hands to my right side beside my waist in a 'cupping formation and watched as the heart shot many beams of energy to my hands until the big heart formed a smaller heart of energy in between my two cupped hands. I looked at myself and saw that my body had transformed into a prism of colors. I then concentrated on the boy and shouted "Purification!" and, pushing forward in one quick thrust with my right hand, sent the heart spiraling toward him. Instead of hitting him dead on, it moved above him and formed a metallic heart above him and moved over him like a cage until it hit the ground. It transformed into energy again and made a portal type thing in the dirt, sending light flooding over his body. When he emerged, he was only dazed. He apologized and stumbled toward the building. I fell to my knees, tired from the over-exertion of energy and shook my head. The doc ran to me, falling to his knees to examine me. "How did you do that without injuring him?" he asked, checking me out. "It is a defensive attack, not an offensive attack. I learned it lately. If the one attacking me has been possessed, the spirit leaves his body and he becomes normal again, but if not it just dazes them and makes them forget why they were fighting me in the first place. If they are stronger than me it has no effect on them. I haven't met anyone who it has had no effect on though." I explained. My stomach growled and I blushed. "It has been a while since I have had any food." I explained apologetically. He helped me up and took me to a dining room. He got the blonde chick to fix some food for me. I thanked her and ate as politely as I could. They were watching my every move and I felt horribly nervous. "I hear a European accent in your voice. Are you from around there?" the doc asked. "Well, sir, I really have no idea where I am from. I have been around for over five hundred years." I told him. He nodded and continued watching me. When I was done, the blonde woman took my dishes to the kitchen to clean them. I thanked her again and stared back at everyone watching me. They all sweat dropped and began talking to each other as if nothing had happened. I giggled and disappeared, reappearing outside again, on the roof this time. I stared up at the sky as it began to get dark, watching the many beautiful colors gracing the sky. I soon became aware of another presence, but I didn't move or show any sign that I knew someone was there. I felt it inching toward me slowly. I looked using my peripheral vision to see who it was. It was the boy. I grinned. "Isn't it past your bed time?" I asked, closing my eyes. I felt him cringe, obviously thinking I didn't know of his presence. He moved the rest of the way to sit right next to me. "Y'know, I am 18. I am not a kid," he told me indignantly. I chuckled and looked at him. "Well, you are a kid in my book." I told him, watching his face contort into anger. "You are younger than I am! You look about sixteen!" he said. I erupted into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. He stared at me like I had gone crazy. When I could breathe again, I apologized. "Sorry kid. Didn't mean to laugh like that. I am not sixteen. I am nowhere NEAR that young. My body was designed to where, when it hit a certain age, it would not age anymore, EVER. I am really around five hundred years old." I told him. His eyes shot wide open and his breath caught in his throat. I nodded and stared back up at the sky. He lay down beside me and stuck his hand over at me. "My name is Trunks," he stated. I smiled and took his hand, giving it a mild shake. "Mine is Amber." I told him. I continued to stare back up at the sky when I heard him ask me a question. "So, what is it like being alive for that long?" he asked. "Not at all how people describe it. You are ready to die after the first hundred years because all of your friends are gone and you cannot talk to anyone or they will ask questions about where and when you were born. You get into all kinds of trouble now in this century because they keep track of everything. I have to keep changing my name or becoming 're-born' by implanting my soul in a child and when they reach a certain age I emerge. It sounds bad, but I have no other choice. I keep hoping for the child to mis-carriage, ending my time on earth. I am so lonely. I cant make friends or anything. I cannot know love, I am sure now." I told him. He lay a hand over mine and smiled at me. "You have just made you one," he told me. I grinned and nodded. "So it seems," I said. He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. My eyes widened and I blushed. "Would you care to go on a date with me?" he asked. "I don't know. You know what I have told you. I cant fall in love or I am catapulted into another dimension." I said. He shrugged. "Maybe there will be an exception. You cant keep being catapulted forever!" he said. I took him up on it and lay there staring at the sky until I felt darkness creep over me once again. So much for the date…
