Two Worlds, One Woman
Chapter 9~ Going Home?

((From the diary of Jeanne: October 25, dragon year 776))

{Today's the day. We just got back from our Dragonball hunt yesterday. Just for the fun of it, we did it the old-fashioned way. Just the dragon radar and our own strength. No flying, no sensing out the balls locations, no ki. It's a lot more fun than it sounds. It was just me, the Guardians, Gohan, Videl, and the chibis. We had a blast! But as they say, "all good things must come to an end". Gah, that saying sucks! Honestly though it's time for me to go home. My family must be worried sick! It's been nearly a year since I last saw them and I really miss them. Even my little sisters! Still, there's a part of me that feels I'm already home . . . *sighs* I'm going to miss everyone here too. Bulma-san is already working on an inter-dimensional portal, but who knows how long that'll take to perfect. Not that I don't think she can do it, oh no. Mirai Bulma made a time machine, so I'm sure our Bulma can figure out how to cross dimensions. But this is waaaay more complicated, I mean, there's an infinite number of universes out there. It's gonna be awful hard to find mine. *shakes head* Anyway, I know this won't be the last time I see them, I just don't know how long it'll be until then. It's gonna be hard going back too. I mean, now that I know they're all real I feel kinda awkward about my collection. Heh. Guess I'll have to find a new obsession, ne? Wait'll my sisters find out. They're gonna freak. I bet no one'll believe me until Bulma and the others visit, na? Ma iika, I wouldn't believe it either if someone told me. Well, everyone's arriving now to see me off so I'd better go! Ja ne!

Jeanne H . . . . . }

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Closing the journal, Jeanne traced the lettering on the soft leather cover fondly. All her adventures had gone into this book, every mishap, prank, and change had been immortalized in ink. Sighing, she placed the journal into her backpack along with the other keepsakes she was taking back with her. Mostly it consisted of photos, but there were a few other odds and ends, as well as some training gis that hadn't yet been altered for her tail. After all, she wouldn't need the tail notch when she got back. Closing the bag, she hefted it onto her shoulder and headed for the door. Once there, she took one last look at her room and sighed again, 'Time to go . . .'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Go ahead Jeanne-chan." Goku stepped back from the ring of glowing balls, his smile gentle, but his eyes a bit sad. Jeanne stepped up nervously, noting that the Guardians were already bowing in reverence to the dragon-god they protected, just like she thought they would.

Taking a deep breath, Jeanne straightened to her full height and called out, "Ideyo Shenlon! Soshite negai o kanaetamae*!!"

The brilliant flash of light and power made her wince and look away, it was so bright! As she blinked her eyes to clear them, she heard the booming voice of Shenlon above her, "You who have summoned me. You have two wishes. What is your first wish?"

"Well sir, they both kinda go together," Jeanne gulped, 'Here goes nothin'.' "I wish that I be returned to my home dimension shortly after my departure, and that when I get there I become completely human again."

There was a long pause as the dragon considered her request before lowering his head, "I cannot."

"Nani?!" Wh-why?" Jeanne stared up at the great dragon in shock, he couldn't send her back?

"There is a link between the souls of you and one of my Guardians. If I were to send you home, the two of you would eventually die."

"But that's impo-" the purple haired demi saiya-jin stopped suddenly as realization struck. "It was me."

"Nandato, Jeanne-chan?" Bulma asked, coming up to stand by the girl.

"When the guy who captured us was trying to . . . you know. I called to him."

"You "called" him? Him who?"

Jeanne turned to face the older woman, a wry smile on her face, "Takeshi. I called him with every ounce of my being . . . and he heard me."

Takeshi gasped and glanced over at the demi-saiya-jin, she was bound to him? Looking up, he saw Shenlon nod his head and the green haired senshi was by her side, wrapping an arm around her shoulder as her tail coiled his waist.

"Do you have another wish?"

Jeanne nodded silently, "Could you send a message to my family then?"

"Hai."

"Okay then. Please tell them . . . tell them I'm sorry I can't come home right now, but I don't have a choice. Tell them, I'm okay and that I'm not alone. Let them know that I'll see them again someday and that I love them dearly and will miss them very much."

Shenlon's eyes flashed and he nodded at the young demi, "It is done. What is your second wish?"

Jeanne grinned mischievously, "That all those with saiya-jin blood have their tails restored to them."

"NANI?!!" Any other protests the Z senshi had were silenced by the oddest of sounds. The eternal dragon, Shenlon, was chuckling.

'So much panic over such a trivial thing,' once more the dragon god's eyes flashed and protest became useless, "You're wishes have been granted. Dewa sarabada!"

"Jeanne-chan? Are you all right?" Takeshi asked holding her close.

Jeanne sighed and leaned her head against his chest, "Not really, but I will be. After all, it's not forever, ne?"

"Sou da," he agreed, simply holding her quietly for a time and watching as the rest of the Z senshi flipped out over the saiya-jins' newly acquired tails. "So why'd you wish their tails back?"

Jeanne couldn't help but grin as they watched Videl successfully snagging hold of Gohan's tail and petting it. "I was tired of being the only saiya-jin that still had a tail." she replied, swishing her own for emphasis, giggling as the raven haired demi-saiya-jin began purring from his girlfriend's touch, "and I thought they might enjoy having them back."

"Good thing there's not a moon anymore."

"I suppose."

"So where do we go from here?"

She shrugged, "I dunno. We're gonna be together for a long time. Guess we'll just wing it, ne?"

Takeshi grinned and pulled her close, "Guess so."

"Jeanne `neechan! Lookit my tail!" Goten cried, running towards her at top speed, latching onto her with all five limbs. "It's just like `Tousan's!!"

Jeanne ruffled his hair and hugged him back, "So it is chibi, so it is."

Goten beamed brightly up at her, his tail wagging happily, "Jeanne `neechan, since Shenlon couldn't send you home, are you gonna stay with us forever?"

"Hai, I am chibi."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, countless dimensions away, in a universe we all know quite well, a family received a message. Jeanne was okay and they would see her again, someday . . .
