opened her eyes.Marron, Videl, Bra and Pan also slowly recovered. "Hello Amber! How are you?" asked Goten in a soft voice. "Very well! How are the others?" Amber asked back. "We're fine! Wow, that was really awesome!" grinned Marron. She wanted to get up slowly, but was too weak and sagged again. Trunks caught her and picked her up. Vegeta had meanwhile picked up Bra, although he still looked at her suspiciously. "Dad, what is it? You look at me so strangely!" she said tiredly. "I just can't believe that my little princess is that big!" he said. Bra closed her eyes and snuggled up against Vegeta's torso. Goku picked Pan up, she too was tired and fell asleep again straight away. Videl leaned on Gohan, who was happy to have her back. "So Amber how is that now, why did Bra and Pan grow so fast?" asked Goku and looked at her invitingly. "That's because time is relatively passing on the planet where we took the exams and where we went to Maras Castle!You get older as quickly and as long as you want it in your subconscious! I think the two unconsciously wanted to be older and then they just grew and became more mature! "Mumbled Amber. Goten helped her up and picked her up. Marron was already in Trunks arms." I think it's time for a couple magic beans! We should fly to Dende and Master Quince! "Goku suggested and took off. The others followed his example and flew after him.


They gave everyone a magic bean and they regained their strength. Pan opened his eyes and saw Dende's friendly face. "Dende! I missed you terribly! How are you?" she called and straightened up. Dende grinned. "Pretty good! And I can answer your question, no, I wasn't killed!" he said and put his arms around her. She was as tall as him now. Bra had fallen around Vegeta and then Trunks. Piccolo stood a little to one side with Goku and talked muffled so that the others couldn't hear it.Gohan had Videl in his arms. "We're going to fly home! Are you coming to Pan then?" he asked his daughter. "Yes, I'll fly back to town with Bra!" she said and slowly walked away with Dende and Bra. Dende wanted to know exactly how it all was again. Vegeta flew back to the CC for training, of course. Goku went with him as they had just interrupted a training match. Videl and Gohan disappeared and Piccolo went back into the space of spirit and time. Now there were only Trunks, Marron, Goten and Amber there. "Tell me, what happened to the two elves?" asked Trunks. "They gave us their lives so we could turn into Ana!" Amber answered his question. They stood on the edge of the platform and looked down. Goten held Amber's hand and Trunks held Marron's hand. After a while Marron and Trunks went away, they still had to do something, they said and let themselves fall down.


Goten pulled Amber into his arms and kissed her tenderly."I'll never let go of you! Not that something like that happens again!" he said. "It's better that way! Otherwise I'll be gone! Always free like a phoenix from the ashes!" she grinned and her green eyes glittered cheekily. She gave him a long affectionate kiss. The wind gently brushed their hair and the sun set in the west so that the sky was bathed in a soft red.

So, done ?! Let's see! You decide whether I will continue to write to Amber, or whether I will write a sequel to Rika, or a pre-story to Vegeta and Tiara! So write me comments diligently so that I know where I am!
