Hmm…my computer is being funny…oh well.
Disclaimner: No I don't.
Note: The next couple of chapters are not really gonna be action packed, but are really, REALLY important for the plot.
Please review.
Chapter 8 Other home, other home
When we came too again, it was too the familiar faces of our friends from the old days. And boy howdy, did they look excited. I sat up immediately and said the words they most wanted to hear.
"I made it guys. We were there."
There was much shouting and hugging and more shouting and questions and it was just a mad house for a few minutes.
"Does Bulma really dress like that?"
"Is Vegeta cool?"
"Have you fought anyone yet?"
The questions probably would have continued except Matt (the great inventor) finally came to his senses and came up with a sensible question: "How long to you get to stay?"
I never got to answer that question because at that instant, Shin the Supreme Kai in all of his mohawked and purple-skinned glory, popped into the bedroom.
"Remember girls, I will be back for you in exactly 24 hours. In other words at 12:57 tomorrow afternoon I will be here for you. I suggest you not be in a public place. I will see you then." And he popped away.
There was a few seconds of silence. Then Laura asked, "Was that Shin?"
"Yuh. He's the one that brought us here." I said.
"You met SHIN?!"
I looked at them. "Yes, we met them all! Did you not believe me?"
They looked at each other. "Well, I guess we don't have anything else to believe." Jake said. "I mean, you've been gone for a month. Even your parents think you made it."
One thing I might have forgotten to mention is that we cleared all this with our parents. They might not have been happy, but they let us. I couldn't wait to see my folks. Neither of them had liked DBZ so they would flip when they found out that I was really there.
"Well, since you only have a day, tell us everything." Samantha said.
So we did. We told them all about our arrival, my fight with Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, and everyone. Everything. No details spared. I even told them about the sacrifice of my refried beans. They thought that was hilarious. We sat there for almost three hours. Then they asked for a demonstration of what we learned. Cat and I looked at each other. Were they ready? Why not.
"OK. We'll take you somewhere to show you." Then I instant transmissioned them to an empty field.
"What do you want to see?" Cat asked.
"I dunno. Have you learned to fly or anything?" Laura asked.
Cat and I looked at each other. "I dunno Cat. Have we learned how to fly yet?" I asked her.
"Oh I would say we have." Then we took off. We flew all around them, up down, everywhere. They were all duly impressed. After that, it was a free for all. We showed them all of our energy attacks and fancy mind things we had learned. They were all duly impressed with that as well. However, eventually Cat and I decided we should go visit our families.
"Ok so, we should meet back here at 8:00, ok?" I said. I got nods from everyone. They were still a little stunned from the display. Cat and I popped away. I dropped her off at her house and told her I'd be back for her at eight. Then I went home.
I popped home on the front porch. Darn. Off a little. Oh well. I rang the doorbell because I did not take my keys with me to become a Z warrior. My mother answered the door. She grabbed me immediately and pulled me inside. Pretty soon I was repeating my story for my mother and sister. They both were shocked that I had made it but really had to believe me. I had been gone for a month, after all.
"So, you're happy, right?" My mother asked.
"Yeah, pretty happy. I mean I miss everyone, but this is such a dream come true. I've learned how to do everything from DBZ" I answered.
"How long are you going to be here?" my sister asked.
"Twenty-four hours. Actually, twenty now." I said, looking at the clock. My mom looked at my sister. "Well, Jen and I had been planning on going shopping today. But if we leave now, traffic will be way to heavy." My mother said.
I had to smile. They never paid any attention to anything in DBZ or they would know that I could instant transmission. "I have a better way of travel than driving. Two actually, but only one would help you two." They looked at my kinda confused. Oh well. I sighed. "Are you ready to go?" They looked at each other. "I guess." My sister said.
"Ok. I want both of you to put a hand on my shoulder and be prepared. It won't hurt, but it's a little unusual." I said.
They stood up and put their hands on my shoulders. Wasting no time, I put my right hand to my forehead and off we went.
We came back on the top level of the parking garage at the mall. I had chosen that place so that no one would see us. It worked. There was not a soul to be seen. My mom and sister were very stunned by now. "How did you do that?" Jen asked.
"Oh, I learned it from DBZ. Then Goku helped my really control it. Before I just kinda popped up anywhere." I said. "Lets go."
I got all sorts of new stuff. My mom decided that it was the last time she was ever going to see me or something so she bought me anything I wanted. I paid for my own toe shoes though, and completely drained my back account at the same time. It didn't really matter because I was never going to use it again anyway. If I came back again, I wouldn't need money.
By the time we got home, I was ready to go back. I love my family, but they were so incredibly different from me now. I had a new family, one that was just like me. I fit in there. It was where I was meant to be.
We ate dinner as a family for the last time. It was solemn. Then I packed all my stuff and hugged them goodbye. I didn't know when I would get to see them again.
I picked up Cat at her house. The first thing she said was "I am so ready to go back."
"I know. I liked seeing my family, but I just wanted to go spar. I have this horrible feeling we are too different now to fit in."
Cat shook her head. "Yeah. It's not the same at all. Before, we all sat around longing to be a Z fighter and talking about what it would be like to go to DBZ. But now that we have, it's not the same. I don't even think I want to go out with our group tonight. I mean, what are we going to do? Talk about anime?"
"I guess. I think it will still be fun, but you know what is really wrong? I miss Goten." I said.
"Oh that'd be nice to have Trunks and Goten with us."
While she was saying this, I noticed this cold feeling on the back of my neck. It just got worse and worse. Soon it was almost overbearing.
"Cat, do you-" I never finished, because at that moment Trunks and Goten showed up.
"Trunks!" Cat yelled, jumping into the arms of her lavender-haired lover. I did basically the same thing with Goten.
"Why are you guys here? Not that I really care, but just curious." I asked.
"Well, we missed you. So we came." Goten answered.
"Yeah, they don't exactly know that we did." Trunks said, smirking so that he looked exactly like Vegeta.
Then Cat gasped. "We need to go. We're late." So we went.
Disclaimner: No I don't.
