"I had the weirdest dream," I told Siobhan and Mariam as we walked to Ashley's. "But I don't remember any of it."

"Then how do you know it's odd?" Siobhan and Mariam asked in unison, then laughed.

"I just, know."

"Oooook. Right. Casey, do you have a fever?"

"Siobhan, shut up."

"Don't tell me to shut up..I'll mess you up girl.."

"BREAK IT UP!" Mariam shouted. "Or I'll get Trunks to beat you two up."

By now we were cracking up laughing. We never actually meant it when we fought, it was always just a joke.

"Oh, I'm shaking," I mocked. Mariam went to tickle me and I screached and hid behind Siobhan.

"I am not your sheild," she informed me and pushed me away. Mariam was still after me.

"Don't make me tell you my list of reason why I like Shin. Reason one..."

"I'll stop I'll stop," Mariam laughed.

"Yeah, though that'd work. Yo, Mat." I spotted my friend Mat up ahead of us and ran to him. He'd been my friend since the third grade and he was actaully the one who got me int DBZ in the first place.

"Hey Ca- wow, how'd you catch up to me that fast."

"I'm fast, so what's up?"

"Nothing. You like my Goku costume?"

"Spiffy."

"Spiffy?"

"Don't make fun of my word."

"Did Casey say spiffy agian?" Mariam asked when she had caught up to us.

"Casey, what did I tell you bout sayin spiffy?" Siobhan warned like she was my mother. I pitied whoever ended up her kid. (Darian: Yes, I deserve such pity.)

"Gee, Casey," Mat said, observing my costume, "A witch. What a stretch."

"No no Matty, you misunderstand the costume. I may be a witch, but for Halloween I'm what everybody thinks witched look like."

"Gotcha. So, still after the Supreme Kai?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh come on Casey," Siobhan sighed, "You have a crush on a new DBZ charctr every other month."

"So, Shin is in my heart to stay."

"Whatever," Mat laughed. "So why not come as Bulma?" He had a point, it was my nickname. I was really smart and totally boy crazy. Siobhan was called Chichi cause she was so maturnal, even thought she was only a year older than me and Mariam (I'd be 17 in December). Mariam got Videl cause she was rather persistant when she wanted something.

"Ah, Bulma doesn't exactly come with a set outfit you look at and say 'Bulma.'"

"Good point. Hey, look, we're here already."

I stood in Ashley's doorway. Something felt off. I didn't tell anyone about the crystal I found in my pocket, but I had slipped it on. I didn't understand why I felt a need to protect it, but I did, and it wasn't even in danger...yet.



Shin

"What have done to her," I shouted to the yound man who stood on a higher cliff. Casey has suddenly disappeared, when seconds ago I was holding her in my arms.

"Damn it," he cursed. "I did the wrong spell."

"What Malidrome?" some wicked voice sounded from no where.

"Callisia, please forgive me. I did the wrong spell." Wind started blowing so hard in all directions so as I had to cover my eyes. When I opened them agian, A women wearing many pieces of jewely was floating before the kneeling man. Her skin was light blue, her hair was white with even more jewels in it.

"What spell did you do?"

"Well, I said it right up until the last part, I swear I did."

"I'm growing impatient!" the woman screached. Both were totally igoring me.

"I did the spell that sends people back to where they came from. She must have come from another demension because I cannot sense her anywhere."

"YOU MORON! I need that girl's crystal. I've spent my life collecting the most power and valuable gems in the universe, and her crystal is the MOST powerful and valuable gem in the universe."

"I know Callisia. I'm sorry. It will never happen agian, I promise."

"I better not, or you will be eliminated."

"Yes. But what about him?" Their attention finally turne to me.

"He must stay alive. The crystal cannot be obtained unless he is alive."



Kyudo

"Dad, calm down, I can't understand you."

My father took a few deep breaths before he blurted, "Your mother's gone."

Suddenly the room began to spin. "What do you mean gone."

"She's been sent back," he said breathlessly, "to her deminsion."

"WHAT? What do you mean her demension?" My father didn't get a chance to answer due to a knock at the door.

It was Goten, him and Darian both looked worried. "Is Casey here/"

"Siobhan's gone too, isn't she?" dad asked from behind me?"

"How'd you know my mom's missing?"

"Cause mine is too," I answered.

"Supreme Kai, do you know where they are?"

My father's gaze turned to the floor. "Someone sent them back to their demention."

"Oh, so all we have to do is go there and get hem right?" Goten asked. I found it odd that the announcement that his wife had been sent to another demention relieved him.

"It's not that asy Goten. They were sent 'back to where they came from.' There demension means the past. On top of that, this women is after my life crystal, which got sent back with her."

"Kyudo" I heard Trunks shout from the front lawn. Joya was right behind him. "Is Mariam there?"

"No. But come in. There's a lot my father needs to explain to all of us."



"You mean to tell me that Mariam got sent back to when she was 17?" Trunks tried to clarify.

"Forget that, you're tellin me my mom comes from a demention where you guys are all a telivision show?"

"Yes. That means they have no clue who they really are. We need to find Goku and Gohan."

No questions him, we just flew towrd the Sons' houses.
