Dabura was gone in a flash. I felt the others' ki blink back into existence. I felt Babadi's rage. And boy, did I ever feel good!

The door to Babadi's lair opened up. I saw Babadi and snarled. I saw the egg that was soon to hatch Buu. I destroyed it. I shot it up and there was not a piece of it left. Buu was no more. I left Babadi to stew. I decided this should be a group effort. We flew out of the ship, wordless.

Vegeta caught his first glimpse of me and knew what had happened. He knew how much I had wanted to revive him. He knew how much I had gone through. He knew that I had become the first SSJ3 ever.

If he was who he was before he'd met me, he'd be jealous. If he was that person, he'd want to kill me. But he wasn't that man anymore.

He was proud of me. Proud of his little girl. Proud to be my father. And that pride he vowed to carry with him to the death.

I flew high above the ship.

"Let's do this one together, boys!" I cried out in triumph. I had taught my father the Kamehameha a long time ago. Everyone in the group except for the Supreme Kai and Piccolo(Who had refused to learn it) knew it. So we did it together, with the Supreme Kai and Piccolo doing their own attacks.

"KA-ME-HA-ME-HA!" we shouted in unison. Though you could barley hear it, Piccolo's cry of "Masenko Ha!" could be heard as well as the Supreme Kai's "Supreme Ki!"(Cute little pun, eh? Hee Hee!). The ship and any other evil beings on board(including Babadi, since I didn't kill him before)died in the immense light.

I stared at the crater far below us. I smiled weakly. Then, I fell into a deep darkness.

"She is so awesome," Vegeta said, "Isn't she? I cannot believe my own daughter is the result of saving the world."
"And I think that if she had not turned SSJ3, she would not have killed Dabura and certainly not Buu," Supreme Kai nodded in agreement. Then he looked at Goku. "I also decided something else."

"What, Supreme Kai?" Vegeta asked calmly. He looked down at his adopted daughter and smiled even as he listened to the Supreme Kai's answer.

"I decided that I will revive Goku and let him live down here with his wife and children," Shin said softly, "his children need him as do you and your children, Vegeta. It is not hard."

"You-You'll do that?" Goku asked in surprise, "For me?"

"Not really," Shin replied sheepishly, "It has always been Angel's deepest wish to meet someone who is like her and yet not like her. She thought she found it in Vegeta or Goten, but no. It's you, Goku. It's you who is like her, yet not like her. You were not abused as a child, you were simply...abandoned. And you were taken in. You were taught to fight. And in that way, you are like her, yet not like her." Vegeta, Goku, Goten, Trunks, Krillin, and Piccolo cocked their heads at him. In unison, they asked, "How?" Only Gohan knew what he was getting at.

"Never mind," the Supreme Kai rolled his eyes, "I'm letting you stay for her sake, okay?"

"Okay," Goku plastered his goofy grin on his face, nonchalant, not knowing how stupid he looked, but smiling all the same.

I awoke in my bed. I saw five figures standing to the side of it, but I didn't recognize them because my eyes were blurred.

"Angel?" I heard my father's voice whisper.

"Daddy?" I asked in a surprisingly hoarse voice, "Is that you?" I felt so weak. There was just no way to describe the fatigue I was in. I fought to hold onto consciousness, but I lost that battle and slipped back into the blackness.

I awoke again, seemingly only a few minutes later to me. This time, my throat felt better. My fatigue was gone. Two lone figures this time sat beside my bed. They were both looking down. I kept my breath deep, so they wouldn't know I was awake till either my eyes adjusted or they looked up.

Soon, my eyes were clear and I saw who sat beside my bed. I darted my eyes around the room, not moving any other muscles other than to continue my deep breathing. I was in a hospital room, probably the one right next to Capsule Corp.

I looked at who sat beside my bed again. Vegeta. And Goten. Both sat staring straight down, not moving a muscle. I heard the sound of the door opening, and shut my eyes quickly. No one knew I had been awake.

"Hi, son, Vegeta," I heard Goku's voice, "How is she doing?"

"She hasn't woken up yet, Goku," Vegeta's depressed-sounding voice came. It sounded as if he had been crying.

"Yeah, daddy," Goten said, "I'm getting worried. What if she never wakes up? She's my best friend!"

"You must have faith, Goten," Goku said to him.

"We all must have faith," Vegeta followed. I opened my eyes and darted them around the room, as though I were trying to adjust them to light as before.
"Angel?" Vegeta's hopeful voice asked.

"Daddy?" I asked, "Is that you? Tell me it's you."

"It's me, sweet Angel," he said and smiled gently. By this time my eyes would have adjusted, so I stared into the coal-black depths of his eyes and smiled weakly too. I sat up in the bed and stretched sore muscles. I felt as if I hadn't moved in days.

"How long was I asleep, Daddy?" I asked softly.

"Two weeks, exactly, my little Angel," I stopped in mid-stretch.

"I-I've been asleep that long?" I asked sorrowfully.

"Don't worry," Goku said with his strange grin of unusual happiness and a little goofiness, "I slept about two months after we defeated Frieza." That eased my shock a little more. "Goten and Vegeta have been right here since you were checked in. They didn't want to leave." Goten and Vegeta both blushed and stared at their hands. I looked at them, incredulously. Both had dark circles under their eyes, as though they hadn't slept in days. Their clothes were fresh and new looking, but looked hurriedly put on. Neither had brushed their hair in at least a week, and it looked like they hadn't had a bath in days.

Goku walked out of the room and returned a few moments later. The others followed him in single file into the room.

"She's awake!" Trunks yelled triumphantly and raced to my side, "Are you okay, Angel? You slept more than Daddy did after he helped Gohan defeat Cell!"

"I'm fine, Trunks," I giggled, "Did Daddy and Goten really stay here the whole time?"
"Yeah!" Trunks giggled, "And all the others stayed next door at Capsule Corp in case you woke up in the middle of the night or something."
"We've been swamped by media for a long time," Gohan said shaking his head, "They all wanted to meet the Saiyan Saviors, as they're calling us now." Videl stood next to him, silent. Bulma and Chi-chi also stood in somber silence. Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong, stood behind the women. Even Dende and Piccolo were there.

"It is a grand day for us all that you have awakened, gentle Angel," Dende said with a slight bow of respect. Piccolo nodded beside him, a smile on his face.

"A grand day for the best group of people I know," I said with a broad smile, "The people I love." I smiled as we walked outside and were suddenly mobbed by dozens of news reporters...
