A/n: And here's chapter two of Providence's Irony!

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ/GT, so don't sue me, I have no money! My friends own themselves.

Story Title: Providence's Irony

Chapter Title: The Other Side and Happy Birthday

Story Summary: The day had started out so normal too, I had gotten detention for Saturday morning, a note home for a parent teacher conference, and the new DBZ graphic novel was arriving at Borders that weekend. It was so exciting at first, being here, a place I never dreamed being actually able to go. But now...I'm worried we're going to be stuck here forever, and it's all my fault.

------------------------------------------------ [Lin's POV]

When I woke up, I half expected to be in my bed with the radio blaring, my cat clawing and my feet, and all the lights on, to explain my predicament, but I was alone. I tried to roll over but found out about five seconds too late where I was, I landed with a thud and a face full of dirt. "Damn," I mumbled angrily, trying to asses my surroundings, which is very hard to do when lying down face to the grass.

I stood up after a few minutes of watching an ant struggle with a crumb from who knows where and tried to find my friends. "Guys?" I called out in every direction I could think of, I reached into my skirt's pocket for my cell-phone but the batteries were dead. Looking up I sighed, "Just my luck!" I said to a rabbit that was munching on a twig. "And to make it better, I'm in the woods! I hate the woods!"

I covered my eyes with my hands, then noticed something...peculiar about them. I thought for a moment, looked around, then down back at my hands, then to my feet, then to the bright blue sky and screamed, "WHAT THE FISHCAKES!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? I'M FRIGGIN ANIMATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" My left eye twitched and felt like a million eyes just turned in my direction then finally decided, "This is sick!"

----------------------------------------------------------[third person]

Goten sighed heavily as he opened the door to his house, "Three...two...one"

"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Friends and family came out of hiding behind chairs and tables. Presents were everywhere and there was a cake on the biggest table.

"Gasp! I surprise party!? For me!?! Oh, I never would have guessed! The big banner outside that said 'Happy Sixteenth Goten!' was no big tip off at all!" Everyone sweatdroped, Marron blushed.

"WHAT THE FISHCAKES!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? I'M FRIGGIN ANIMATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goten looked in the direction of the forest and looked over at Trunks, they both nodded and dashed out the door towards the voice.

When they got to a clearing they saw a young teenage girl, no older than Marron, sitting on a fallen log, staring at her hands. She had short red hair the went a little farther than her ears and pale green eyes, she wore a grey long sleeved t-shirt and a blue skirt that reached her ankles(though the front of her outfit was covered in dirt). "Excuse me, are you lost?" Goten placed a hand on her shoulder causing her to jump and turn around so fast she fell on her butt. She quickly stood and looked them both square in the eyes.

"Yeah, I'm lost, I can't find my friends, will you please help me?" She said, looking at the ground.

---------------------------- [Lin's POV]

I couldn't believe it, I was animated! I was pinching myself to wake up but I couldn't. Then a tap on the shoulder and an "Excuse me, are you lost?" startled me, I whirled around and saw something I couldn't believe. There, standing right in front of me, were the greatest guys of all time, it shocked me so much I forgot to keep my balance and fell onto my butt. 'Holy...holy....This isn't real!' I told myself, 'Goten and Trunks are not standing there; you are not in the middle of the woods, and even if you were they wouldn't know who you are. Stay calm, don't panic, and play along.'

I stood up quickly and straightened my skirt 'damn school uniform' I looked them both straight in the eye, so not to wander off to the fact that Goten was wearing shorts and a muscle shirt, showing off his well, muscles. "Yeah, I'm lost, I can't find my friends, will you please help me?" I said softly, looking at my shoes by the time I finished the sentence. I realized this and looked back up to see Goten looking back at Trunks and shrugging. Trunks looked at me questionably.

"How'd you get separated?" Trunks asked, I thought for a moment I wasn't quiet sure myself.

"I went ahead of them, I guess they must have taken a different path than the one I did" I said shrugging. 'I didn't know I was such I good liar' I looked at a sting hanging off my sleeve "hey! Where're my bag and jacket?!" I though out loud.

"What?"

"Nothing" I smiled and started to walk in a direction that felt to me, the most promising of them all, 'I can't believe this! I'm in the DBZ universe or whatever, Goten's standing right behind me, and somehow I'm being calm! But if this was a dream, wouldn't he be cuddling me by now? Then this is real, but what happened to my bag and my jacket? And where are everybody else?!' I became absorbed in my thoughts as a walked on in the woods how I knew which way to go was a mystery to me.

------------------------------ [third person]

Mike woke slowly to find himself clutching a large piece of blue fabric, which he soon realized was the girls' school jacket, a few feet away he saw a black book-bag. He stood up and opened the bag; on the inside of the top flap was scribbled 'property of Linny Idishi'.

He stared at the writing for a long time, trying to figure out why everything looked so strange about it, then he realized that everything seemed to be animated he said a light curse and pinched himself, seeing as it didn't work he shrugged it off. When you've hung out with Linacre Maline Idishi as long as he had, and knew her family, nothing can surprise you anymore.

Looking around, he saw the others, Sarah, Billy, Sam, Zach and Conner, but he noticed that Lin was gone, he started to look around the area he had found himself, but she was no where to be found. He stuff her jacket into the bag, pulled the strap over his head and made his way down a narrow path, in the exact opposite direction of where Lin was.

-------A/n: And there's the end of chapter two, I hope it was okay, it doesn't feel as good as the last one, it's shorter too sigh oh well. Please review and tell me what you think! BTW, yes the school does issue uniforms, so everyone's wearing the same thing except Zach, boys: gray shirt and blue pants (blue jacket optional) girls: gray long-sleeved shirt and a long blue skirt (jacket optional).
