Thanks for the reviews! Well, I don't have much to say, so anyway, I'll just continue with the fic.

Last time:

I was floating just above the gravity room when we heard an explosion. I looked down and saw part of the gravity machine gone. I was about to move when the rest of it below me blew.

******

I closed my eyes, waiting to be struck by the explosion, but I never was. Instead of pain, I felt two strong arms wrap around me and pull me against a hard chest. Then, I was pulled out of the way just in time. I opened my eyes to see, of course, Trunks. He was looking down at me with that usual worried look.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks." I answered, looking down at the totaled gravity machine. "Where's your dad?"

"He'll be fine. He does this about once a week. In fact, Mom got so sick of making new ones; she hired a crew to do it for her!" Trunks lowered us to the ground. As soon as we touched down, Bulma came running out.

"Are you okay?" She asked, referring to me. "I saw the explosion, but I wasn't sure if you were hit or anything. You look okay..."

"I'm fine." I said, Trunks nodded, then realized he still had his arms around me and quickly released his hold.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else to try flying." Trunks suggested.

"Sure." I answered.

"Well then, I'll pack you two a lunch in case you're gone that long." Bulma said and walked back into the house. Meanwhile, Vegeta had pulled himself out of the remains and followed Bulma into the house yelling that the crew had better build him a new gravity machine.

"So, where are we going to go?" I asked while we waited for Bulma to come back with our food.

"You remember the place you first learned to fly?" He asked. I thought for a moment, then nodded; we had often trained there before I left because Vegeta refused to allow us 'weaklings' to use his gravity machine. "Well, that's where I was thinking of going, if that's okay with you, that is."

"Sure! I've missed the place!" I answered eagerly.

"Okay," Trunks said. Bulma was walking back carrying a capsule for us. "Thanks, Mum." Trunks said and kissed her cheek.

"Be careful, you two." Bulma said. "And at least try to be back for dinner." We nodded and Trunks scooped me up into his arms and took off. I hadn't expected the sudden movement, so I gave a little yelp and hung on to his neck tightly. I noticed Trunks' smirk.

"What are you smirking about?"

"Nothing...nothing." Was his answer. I loosened my grip on his neck as he flew. We soon got to the place where we had trained. It was a lot different, yet so much the same. It's weird, I know, but that's how it seemed. I mean, the trees and everything had grown a lot, but it still seemed more like home than C.C. did.

"I'm guessing that you would want to start trying to fly before eating...am I right?" Trunks asked. I nodded in response. "Okay, well, fly when you're ready and I'll be here to catch you when you fall."

"Thanks." I said and closed my eyes to concentrate. I slowly rose off the ground. I opened my eyes and saw that Trunks was about my arm's length away. I smiled slightly and him. As I rose, I moved so that I was floating horizontally. Then, I started to move forward. At this time, I had made it above the tops of the trees. I concentrated my ki below me to keep me in the air and behind me to make me move forward. Trunks, of course, was right along with me the whole way.

I started flying faster and faster. I started thinking about the cool wind rushing past me and how good it felt. I also could see the forest below me. It looked so beautiful. It wasn't until now that I realized just how much I had missed it. Sure, I had wanted to come back, but never was I this glad to be here. I really didn't have the time. Instead, I was too busy trying to stay alive.

Often I had wondered why I continued living. But then I always thought of my dad. What would he want for me? He would want me to keep living and make life better for myself. That's what I intended to de.

Still, I often wondered.....
