Me again. It's me, Ashley Ketchum * duh! *. Strange things have happened. I've ascended from Ultimate, Mirai Trunks wants me to stop fighting, Android 17 and 18 are now on our side * yet, 18 keeps fighting with me *, and the Z fighters finally beat Cell * we think *. Most of this story is in Wilmington, NC since most of my friends are here. You will meet some of my friends, some you readers might know. Only Mirai Trunks will be in this story * so when I say Trunks you'll know it's Mirai *.

" Nothing goes on here ever since Ashley left." said Janine * she's new *. " Why doesn't she come and visit anymore?"

" I don't know." said her mom * she's new, too, but she's only in it once *.

* Knock, Knock * " Hello?" said James * Janine's bro. and he's new too…*.

" Have you seen Ashley?" asked the voice, from outside the garage.

" No, we haven't." said Janine, coming outside and looking around.

" Who said that?" asked James, from behind Janine.

" You guys forget what I can do." said the voice * it was up in the air*.

" Ashley!!" shouted James and Janine. " When did you get here?"

" I've been here for at least 3 days now." I said. " I'm surprised you guys didn't hear me training."

" I guess we didn't." said Janine and James.

" Hi, Janine." said Amanda * she's new…* " Who are you?"

" I'm—" I started, but was cut off.

" Never mind." said Janine. " What do you want?"

" I wanted to know if you could play." said Amanda.

" I can't, I have company." said Janine.

" Mom." said Trunks. " I thought you were—hey, Janine."

" Hello, Trunks." said Janine.

" Janine, can I talk to you?" asked Amanda.

" Yeah." said Janine. " I'll be back."

" Who are they?" asked Amanda.

" The girl is Ashley, and the boy is Trunks." said Janine.

" Okay……how old is……Ashley?" asked Amanda.

" 17, why?" questioned Janine.

" I'll ask later…" said Amanda. " How old is Trunks?"

" Don't know." replied Janine. " Hey, Trunks! How old are you?"

" 17!" shouted Trunks.

" Here's my final question," said Amanda, " why is he calling…Ashley…Mom?!?"

" Because she is his mom." said Janine, walking over to Trunks and me.

" I'll see you later, Janine." said Amanda, heading over to my house.

" Great…" I said. " She's heading for my house now."

" So that's the person you talk about when I bug you." said Trunks.

" Yep." I said.

" I'm glad she didn't ask why we had funny ears and a tail." said Trunks.

" How'd you know she was asking questions about you 2?" asked Janine.

" With these ears, we can hear almost everything." I said, turning to ultimate saiyan * SSJ3*.

" What's wrong?" asked James.

" He's back." I said, with the same clothes Trunks had on * black tank top, purple jacket……the outfit he wore when he came to the present…*. " How many times does it take to kill you, Cell?"

" You've never killed me, Ashley." said Cell.

" Damn you!" I shouted, charging at Cell.

* Laughing* " Try and catch me, you weakling." said Cell.

" Take that, asshole!" I shouted, pulling out a sword * it looks just like Trunks'*.

" Child's play." said Cell, grasping the sword and breaking it into pieces.

" Shit…" I said, still holding the shattered sword.

" Now, I'll finish you off." said Cell, hitting me in the stomach.

" NOOO!!!" shouted Trunks.

After a few powerful punches from Cell, I fell to the ground.

" Now, DIE!" shouted Cell, firing an energy ball.

" Energy shield." I said, weakly and blacking out……

* Looking over at me…then Trunks…* " I'll be back to kill you and your friends later." said Cell, while flying off.

" Damn him!" shouted Trunks, running to my side. " We need to get her to a Poke'mon Center, quick."

" Let's go then." said Goku * he showed up a little after the fight had begun…*.

" Right." said Trunks, picking me up. " You guys can come too, if you'd like."

" Alright!" shouted Janine and James.

" Huh?" questioned a girl, on a bike.

" That person looks awfully familiar." said another.

" I'm heading over to Kelley's * that's actually me*. Maybe she knows what's going on." said the girl.

* Ding, Dong* " James * my boyfriend*, can you get that for me?" asked Mrs. Narramore * she's new…and she's my mom…*.

" Are you sure I should?" questioned James.

" Yes." said Mrs. Narramore.

" Hello?" questioned James.

" Hi. Is Kelley here?" asked the girl.

" No, she isn't." said James.

" I know where she's headed…James." said the girl.

" How'd you know my name?" asked James.

" Never mind that." said the girl. " You might want to get to Pallet Town Poke'mon Center."

" You're coming with me." said James. " What's your name, by the way?"

" Katie * she's my best bud…and she's also new*." said the girl.

" Are you sure that they are going to Pallet Town Poke'mon Center?" asked James.

" Not really." said Katie. " But I know they're going to a Poke'mon Center."

" Let's go then!" said James.

Later, at the Pallet Town Poke'mon Center…

" How could she let her guard down?" Trunks asked himself.

" I don't know, Trunks." said Goku, disappointed in me.

" Where is she?!?" questioned James, almost running into Trunks.

" She's in the recovery room." said Nurse Joy, coming from behind a pair of doors. " You can go in and see her, but she may be sleeping."

" Thanks, Nurse Joy." said Trunks.

" Where's my baby?" questioned James * you can tell that that one is the boyfriend…*, with tears in his eyes.

" What happened?" I questioned myself, not knowing that the others came in. * I was standing by the big window with a bandage over one eye and my arm in a sling…* " I let my guard down because I didn't want my friends to get hurt. By letting Cell get the best of me he would leave them alone…for a while. Why was I…just letting him do that?"

" Ashley!" shouted James, coming over to hug me. " What happened?"

" To make it blunt…I got beat up." I said.

" Shouldn't you be in bed?" asked Katie.

" Katie?!? What are you doing here?" I asked. " How'd you know I was here or in Wilmington?"

" I saw Trunks, Goku, Janine, and her brother," started Katie, " and I heard Trunks say that they needed to get you to a Poke'mon Center. Before Goku used his special attack—"

" Instant Transmission." said Goku, smiling.

" Right." said Katie. " I saw you in Trunks' arms."

" Then you came over and asked if she was around." said James. " And you told me to come here."

" Yep." replied Katie.

" Where are you going?" asked Trunks.

" I'm going to find him." I said.

" No. I won't let you." said Trunks, taking me by the tank top and holding me against the wall. " I'm not going to have him kill you."

" Trunks, put me down." I said, ticked off.

" Not until you listen!" shouted Trunks, pushing me harder against the wall. " I don't want my mother getting killed by fighting. I want you to stop fighting." * He then let me go.*

" I will," I started, " when the earth is safe." * I climbed into the bed and put the sheet over my head.*

" WHAT!?" questioned James.

" MOM! I—" said Trunks, stopping in his tracks…

" She only does that if she's really pissed." said James, looking over at me. * He noticed that my hand was in the air…flicking Trunks off…*

" Trunks…you musta made her mad." said Goku.

" I know." said Trunks, walking out the door.

" How do you know Ashley, Katie?" asked James, following Trunks.

" Ashley and I go to Laney * that's my high school*. I know her as Kelley." said Katie. " She showed me a drawing of 'Ashley', telling me that she was an imaginary character."

" I have a feeling that that's not all you know." said Trunks.

" I also read her stories." said Katie. " She writes about her adventures."

" She's right." I said, from the open door.

" Mom, I'm—" started Trunks.

" I know what you're going to say." I said, removing my finger from his mouth. " We've got trouble."

" What?!" questioned Katie, giving me this awkward look.

" I thought I got rid of you." said a voice.

" You can't destroy what I am, Cell." I said, unwrapping the bandages.

" You can't fight." said Trunks. " Not with your injuries."

" Trunks." I said. " Go inside with Katie and stay in there. You too, James. This is our fight." * Then I transformed into an Ultimate Saiyan.*

" Ok…" they all said…a bit worried.

" That's the same mistake you made earlier." said Cell. " You can't beat me."

" Think again." I said. " I'll even let you go first."

" Fine!" shouted Cell. " DIE!!"

" Wow!" said Katie. " She's good."

" You haven't seen anything yet." said Goku, watching me dodge all of Cell's attacks.

" Why can't I hit you?" questioned Cell, tired from attacking me. " I won't be beaten!"

" Are you done yet?" I asked. " Then it's my turn…KA………ME…………HA…………ME………………HA!!!!!"

* Perfect shot…*

" This can't beeeeeeeee!!!" shouted Cell, being hit and blown away…

" YES!!!" shouted James * boyfriend*.

" Awesome." said Goku.

" Amazing." said Katie.

" How'd you………I thought……" started Trunks, wondering why I was hiding so much power.

" Did you say something, Trunks?" I asked.

" No, never mind." said Trunks, looking at the ground.

" Let's go home, you guys." I said.

" Okay!" said Goku.

" You mean, you're going to stay in Wilmington, even if people know you?" asked Janine.

" Yes." I said. " It's my vacation spot."

" Cool!" said James * Janine's bro.*

The funny thing is, is that I haven't seen Cell ever since I came back to Wilmington. Not even Pallet Town is in danger. The good thing is that mostly everyone in Wilmington can see me. Till next time, readers!!
