Chapter fourteen; A Wish… or Not…
"There! That's it Oolong! All seven!" Chi-Chi exclaimed as she threw the final ball in her bag. 'Now I can finally wish Goku back…' she thought to herself.
Oolong snorted, "Great, can I go now? I do have a life to get back to… and a 'friend' to get back at!" he muttered.
"Oh? And what friend would that be?" came a smooth female voice from above.
"YOU!!" Chi-Chi gasped as she saw the familiar out line of Bulma's rival.
"Hi there Chi-Chi! Did you miss me?"
"Shannon! What are you doing here?" Chi-Chi demanded her hand flying to her bag in an unconscious attempt to keep the Dragonballs safe.
"What'dja mean what's she doin' here? She's the evil woman that sent me ta help you!" Oolong said backing away from Shannon as she landed.
Chi-Chi was more then a little confused, "You helped me? Why?"
Shannon turned her gaze to the floor, "You're too hard on me Chi-Chi. Sure Bulma and I fight, but we're also good friends deep down." She sighed, and her shoulders began to shake, "I never meant for anything to go this far..!" she looked desperately at Chi-Chi, tears pouring down her face, "I didn't want Goku to die! Believe me I didn't want any of this to happen." Shannon fell to her knees, "I'm so sorry…"
Chi-Chi just started at her wide-eyed, Shannon had just repented? Was that even possible? She took a proverbial step back and looked at the crumpled girl. She was after all only a teenager, nothing more. Chi-Chi dropped to one knee and hugged Shannon, "It's okay… this wasn't your fault… You couldn't have known."
Shannon only clutched on to Chi-Chi and sobbed. Chi-Chi smiled softly as tears fell from her own eyes and she stroked Shannon's wild hair. She understood where Shannon was coming from, every teenager needed a rival, and she had merely been Bulma's. But teen rivalry could only go so far; in the end it was nothing more then a friend ship that had never truly been expressed due to mutual agreement. 'That'll change now though… I think Shannon's finally realized how unimportant her fighting with Bulma really was.'
Chi-Chi stood up, brining Shannon with her, "Come on, I need to bring Goku back." Shannon smiled and nodded.
"Oolong, your debt to me has been repaid, get out of my sight."
Oolong didn't need to be told twice, he picked a direction and ran as fast as his puny legs could carry him.
Chi-Chi lay all seven balls on the ground, "Dragon! I summon you!"
The two new friends watched in awe as the sky turned black and Shenlong made his appearance.
"Who has summoned me?"
Chi-Chi stepped forward, "I did."
"What is your wish?"
She didn't hesitate, "I wish that Goku would be brought back to life."
There was a pause, "That cannot be accomplished at this time. Chose another wish."
Chi-Chi gasped, "What?!"
"I cannot bring Goku back at this moment. Chose another wish."
Chi-Chi leaned on Shannon for support as she felt her world begin to fall to pieces around her.

18 watched Vegeta begin to advance on Yamcha and stopped him, "Stop where you are prince." Her mission hadn't been accomplished! Vegeta didn't fully understand what was going on yet! She growled low in her through and advanced on Vegeta.
"Woman! Get out of my way now!" his voice was low and very dangerous.
18 shook her head, "You don't understand." She moved towards Yamcha and ripped the headband off his head. "You see that mark?" she asked pointing to the beautifully scripted 'M' that was visible for the first time.
Vegeta didn't seem to care about some letter on anyone's head, especially not Yamcha's, "Move."
"No. This isn't really Yamcha; a powerful magician is controlling him. Defeat the magician and Yamcha will return to normal." She continued.
Vegeta blinked and Bulma stepped forward, "So, that wasn't him? He wasn't really the one who did all those horrible things to me?"
18 shook her head, "No, it wasn't."
Bulma didn't know weather to be relieved or shocked, "I see."
18 turned to Vegeta, "Place him under guard until you've located the magician." She said commandingly, "Return to your lives, the magician will not appear for," she paused, "Three years. Until then, nothing can be accomplished by his death."
Vegeta looked like he wanted to kill 18 as well as Yamcha, but Bulma held him back, "Very well, three years." Vegeta nodded and moved towards Yamcha, hitting him over the back of the head, rendering him safely unconscious. He turned to Bulma, "Let's go."
She nodded and they flew back to the palace, Yamcha in tow.
18 watched them go, "They have no idea what's coming next…"

Chi-Chi wished for what in the end?! What ceremony is everyone preparing for?! What do you mean 18 has a twin?! FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
