~an~Well howdy ho everyone! Sorry its been so gosh darn long, stuffs been busy, u kno th drill, well, enjoy, more to come asap! ~an~

I looked around and the field I was in began to swirl and mix with the sky, everything spinning around me, flashes of light everywhere. I let out a scream and when I opened my eyes, I was laying on the ground at Kami's lookout.

I sat up, breathing hard, looking around. The Z fighters were standing around me, and nearby, were the dragon balls. I assumed they had brought me back using the dragon balls. I sat on the ground, suddenly feeling Trunks' strong arms wrap around me, hugging me tightly. I smiled, closing my eyes again as I wrapped my own arms around him, remembering why I was meant to be on Earth.

Trunks helped me back to my feet and I was swamped in more hugs from the rest of the group. Yamcha, Krillin, Tien, Goku, Gohan, Chi Chi, Bulma, and Trunks all hugged me; I even think I saw Vegeta smiling a little, although still staying away from all the nauseating affection. I felt overwhelmed in love, smiling brighter than I ever have.

After about 10 minutes of laughs and a few hugs, Bulma smiled, holding my hand, "Let's get you back home, I'm sure you're starving!" I laughed, and then looked over at Goku as he said, "Mmm…food! Sounds good to me!" We laughed even more, heading back down to Capsule Corps, thanking Kami before we left. Goku carried Chi Chi and Vegeta carried Bulma as we went back, heading inside for some massive amounts of food.

We all ate a good deal of food, smiling and talking as we ate, all very happy to have this behind us, although I think I was probably the most relieved at the table. At one point, Yamcha looked over at me, "Hey, Alix, since you know you, um, died and all, what happened to you on the other world, seeing as almost all of us have been there!" We laughed for a moment, and then everyone looked back at me, "Well, it was different than what everyone else here has gone through, I think". I put my fork down, smiling very softly, my mind going back to the field, "I was completely at peace with everything…I was in an open field, and I remember seeing my sister". I told them everything that happened, even the smallest details, like the fact that the breeze felt like a very mild spring day and that I saw a few flowers nearby that looked like the ones I had bought with Kat when I was 8.

Things got quiet after I was done, and I felt like I had made everyone fairly mellow, almost like I had saddened the mood. I laughed a bit, seeing everyone very solemn, trying to brighten the mood, "Excuse me, but I see a great deal of food on the table, and I WILL eat it all if you guys don't! Believe me, being dead builds up an appetite!" They all laughed a little and slowly got back into a good mood, eating more once again, talking and laughing and having genuinely a good time.

After dinner was over and we had discussed other people's travels and experiences in the Other World, we decided we should be heading back to our respective homes for the night, but making sure to meet back tomorrow for the party that had to be postponed because of…um…certain evil villains who needed an ass-kicking. Everyone congratulated Trunks and myself once again and headed home, Krillin and Yamcha making stupid, sly remarks as usual. I laughed a little and gave them each a hug, budding farewell.

As everyone left, I got up and helped Bulma with the dishes. She looked over at me and asked, "Allie, I want you to wear a really nice dress tomorrow for dinner". I almost dropped my plate on the floor, my eyes widened, "I HAVE TO WEAR A DRESS???" I saw Bulma sweat drop,

"Well, yes, it's a very fancy restaurant. You do own a dress…don't you?" I thought for a moment. The only time in my life I had ever worn anything remotely resembling a dress was when I was 8 and my sister took me to a nice part of town and I wore my little girl's sunflower like dress. Other than that, I owned absolutely nothing that could even be slightly considered nice.

I shook my head, "Bulma, I don't even own nice PANTS!" She laughed a little and shook her head, "Well, I guess we have to go dress shopping! You'll need a wedding dress too! Oh yes! And we need to find bridesmaid's dresses! And- also…" I slowly backed away, ducking around the corner, the reality of our wedding finally hitting her. I sighed, thinking, "I don't like dresses…I can't stand them! I don't even like makeup! How am I supposed to go out to dinner tomorrow, let alone get married!" I sighed walking to my room, the thoughts flooding in and out of my head.
