Okay, this is chapter 1 of this fic of undefined length. I'm going over the chapters and updating them so they look (and are!) better. Mostly, spelling errors and chapter titles. Well, enjoy!

~~~~~~*** ARRIVAL ***~~~~~~

"She's coming." Jennifer stared at the circle on her calendar as a mix of emotions tried to choke their way out, in the form of a sob. But she kept them down, "I can't believe it, she's finally coming back." She finally let go of her emotion as she ran down the hall yelling in a triumphant tone, "She's coming! Alex is finally coming home!!!"

Jeff, who had just gotten back from the mall (and you might guess why, and no, not to shop) was the first person Jennifer ran into (literally, she knocked him down, though that's not too surprising). "Hey! Jenn, Jenn! Who's coming?"

"Alex is coming! Alex is coming!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down! Where's she been? Why's she coming?"

"It's Alex!" then, seeing the puzzled expression on her brother's face she elaborated, saying "You know, Alex. our sister?! The one who's been flying around space and who knows where else for the last three years!?!?"

Then a new expression came across Jeff's face, like he had just discovered the cure for cancer, "OH! THAT Alex! When's she coming?"

"Hello! Haven't you been paying attention? She's coming today!"

"Oh, okay. Well then I guess I'd better get back to the mall!"

"Why do you want to go back there?!"

"'Cause I don't want her to think I still can't get a girlfriend do I?" and with that he promptly left.

Jennifer just sighed saying to herself "He's such a pervert." However, knowing that it would be a while before Alex arrived she decided to pass the time in the GT-room.

Jenn passed about five hours in there before deciding to come back out to the landing area to wait for her sister.

Almost as if on cue Jennifer noticed a slight tugging in the room that seemed to hover about three feet above the ground over the middle of the launch pad. Within seconds a ball of bright, white light appeared and began pulling any available energy towards it, like some kind of mini-black- hole. And like a black hole, it soon developed a deep, black, almost cold and empty hole in the core of what Jennifer soon recognized as one of Alex's favorite techniques. The Cold Warp Gate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Jump to Goku's house. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------Goku had just downed a bowlful of pasta and was starting on his thirtieth when he felt it, a cold, empty feeling that seemed to be welling full and filling the void with a tremendous power. "Whoa! Gohan! Do you feel that?"

"Feel what, Dad?" Gohan was just finishing his twenty-seventh bowl with a loud slurp.

"That really weird feeling," looking around Goku tries to find the direction of the signal, finally pointing in a direction due East "and it's coming from over there."

Gohan, taking a moment to sense in the direction of Goku's finger, searched for a second and found it, "Yeah, it feels really dangerous. But, what is it?"

Goku was sensing trouble, the last time he felt a power like that it nearly destroyed the world. "I don't know son, but it may be a good idea to find out."

"Right!"

"Hey! Don't forget me! I'm coming too!" Goten had just come back inside from running around with Trunks, and Trunks was with him.

"Yeah, don't forget, we're strong too!"

"I know, I'd never forget, and we may need Gotenks now more than ever." Goku had that look in his eye, and Chichi didn't like it one bit.

"YOU ARE NOT TAKING MY BOYS WITH YOU TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT AT WHO KNOWS WHERE!!!!!" Chichi was definitely not pleased with the idea. And so goes a lot of arguing until Goku pointed out that her boys are among the most powerful in the universe. Chichi regretfully let them go, but not without a fight.

And so they all flew off to find the source of the signal, hoping they could get there before it could swallow the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------

Jennifer was almost afraid for her sister, she had never felt a power like this one and, though she had complete confidence in her sister, she still held on to a shadow of a doubt. This was taking too long, and if she took too much longer the warp gate might destabilize and destroy the traveler.

Not only that, but they were already coming.

Almost as if the Warp Gate heard her thoughts, Jennifer was thrown back as the core of the gate threw out a massive upsurge of energy and calmed back down again. All of this just before a head poked its way out of the sphere of black power. The head simply looked down at her and smiled, saying "Hey, what's up?"

"Alex! Oh I was so worried you might not make it! But, I guess I was being silly.."

"Maybe," the head said this just as it popped the rest of a body through the Warp Gate and a full sized Alex was standing before her younger sister, "but you really didn't think I'd be gone all this time without learning to stabilize my wormholes did you?" Alex simply nodded her head and the Warp Gate shriveled away to nothing. "Come on, you've got to give me more credit than that."

"Yeah."

"So, anyway, there's something I've got to tell you. But first, what's been going on with Earth?"

"Well, the Z-fighters finally destroyed Buu."

"Really? By themselves?"

"Yeah! I was impressed. And none of them even went to Super Saiyan Four to do it!"

"That IS impressive."

"I know, but some of them did do some fusions and Gohan had his powers realized on Supreme Kai's planet."

"Oh, well at least they're on the right track."

"Yeah, they've grown a lot since the Cell games."

"Speaking of them, where are they?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------

The Z-fighters had just arrived at the scene in time to witness someone coming out of the empty well of power (what else would they call it?). It was a young woman, maybe Videl's age with shining brown hair and the look of a warrior. Actually, she looked like she had the same attitude as Goku, take it easy and let the rest come as it will.

The Z-fighters decided to lay low until this new warrior had shown her true intent. There was another young woman there, about two years younger than the other, and they could hear some talking, but they couldn't pick out what was being said. But they could tell that this new warrior was strong, and if nothing else, they should get this wrapped up before it got out of hand.

Then, just before they were about to power up they were noticed. The new girl turned her steely gaze towards them and instantly disappeared, immediately reappearing in their midst.

"Hey! How did she do that?" Goten nearly ran into Trunks.

"I don't know, I didn't see her move!" Trunks was too surprised to notice that Goten nearly ran into him.

"Hey! Hold on! I'm not here to fight you!" This new warrior yelled out just as Goten and Trunks were about to do a fusion.

"What did you say?" Goku was always ready to allow someone explain themselves.

"I'm not here to fight you. I want to warn you."
