Chapter 2: Hey we're on TV!

(Jeri) (One hour later)

She was going home. After so many years in the anime world she was finnally going home. Back to her mom and dad. Back to school. Back to a normal existance. No more crazy adventures, no more insane aliens.

As she neared her old neighborhood her voice caught in her throat. Just down the street, right where it had always been, was her house. With a slight squeal of happiness she rushed up her front steps and charged in the front door.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!"

Her call went unanswered for all of three seconds before she was bombarded with affectionate relatives.

"Jessica! My baby! You're back! You're okay!" Her mother said as she reached her side.

Her father and uncle got to her at the same time and crushed her in a double bear hug.

This went on for several minutes until everyone had expressed themselves at least once. Then the questions started.

"Where have you been all this time, young lady?"

Jeri turned to her dad, eyes slightly coulding over in memory, then said, "I lost my way for a while, daddy. I ended up somewhere far away. There I lived a little and learned a lot. I never wanted to leave, but...."

"What happened to you, Jessica? why didn't you contact us and tell us where you were? You worried us all sick."

She was spared answering when her mother said, "Honey, let's give her a break. She's been through alot and needs to go to bed. She's back, and for now that's all that matters."

Her father nodded.

Happy for the reprieve Jeri gladly went up to her room and laid down on her bed. She felt as if she had been away for a million years. Everything was so vauge about this place now. She'd just have to get used to it again.

Not ready to go to sleep just yet Jeri decided to watch television. She turned the t.v. to Cartoon Network (AN: I don't own Cartoon Network) only to see that Dragonball Z was on. Since it was an episode she hadn't seen she decided to watch it.

Sorrow flooded her system as the episode progressed. The episode was depicting her and Kim's disappearance and the aftermath of it. As she watched her family on the screen everything came rushing back. It had all happened. She had been there. She had a family and good friends. She had a life.

Quickly turning the television off Jeri rolled onto her side and curled into a ball. Tears rolled down her face as she replayed what had happened over and over again.As much as she had missed her family here in the real world, she missed being with her family in the DBZ world even more. Vegeta was the other half of her soul. She didn't want to live her life without him. Her family was her whole world. her husband, her kids, all of them were the center of her entire universe. She had to find a way back to them. She didn't belong in this strange place anymore.

Dropping down onto her bed she drew her pillow up to her and tried not to cry. Prayer was her only comfort. She wanted to go home. The only thing she could do now was pray. Pray and hope whatever force had sent her here would send her home soon.

Sorry for the long wait. Writers block is a pain. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
