Welcome to Gaia! ::

Trunks blushed and then replied, "Sometimes family relations can be so complicated."

Sangcun noticed Ash's return immediately. She said to him, "Ready to use some of your basic skills? Next, we need to pound those berries into a jelly like substance. Lets see how fast you can do this, okay?"

She wanted to make this fun for Ash, although she knew that an Orochi warrior was difficult to please and from what she remembered, Ash liked things interesting.

Ash quickly began smashing the berries. It didn't take him a long to do it. " Alright what next?"


Lily said " Yea it can be confusing at times."

Once Will had checked off all of his kids as all were present, he then wandered over to where Viper and Trunks were talking.

"Hey kid," He said to Trunks.

Then looking to Viper, he noticed that Vemon and Chazz weren't around. "Okay, so what's happened to Vemon and Chazz this time? And where's Sangcun? Oh, wait, I am smelling food, so she must be cooking. Never mind about where Sangcun is."

Once Ash returned with the spuds, Sangcun had found a mountain of corn. Sangcun then said, "Now here's the fun part. Roasting all of these! And then we get to mash the potatoes too. Once that's all finished we have baking to do, which we will get my mom to help out with that. Cool?"

Realizing she is sort of telling Ash what to do, Sangcun blushed a deep red. She said, "Oh gosh, I sure hope you aren't thinking I am ordering you around Ash. I know better than to do that around the Orochi. I remember what Iori did to Soiree once just because Soiree demanded that Iori apologize to a kid for shoving her out of the way. Iori was trying to locate you, I think... at the time. It was in our history classes lately studying your kind. I find the Orochi fascinating and I do believe that they can be good people, they just lived harsh lives."

Meanwhile, in his bedroom, Andy was dreaming while the feel of the fan had been a nice addition. He dreamed of the ocean. Trunks, Zane, Monopoly, Epcor, Chazz, Vemon, Ash, Sangcun, Raditz and himself were all having a grand time training. Ash had a big smile on his face as for once in his life, he felt the true meaning of happiness. Sangcun was showing him all of her funny ways of identifying seashells. She was also using a Goddess Fishing rod and showing Ash that she can do some decent fishing with it. As for Andy in his dream, he was diving underwater having a game of underwater tag with Raditz, Trunks and Zane. It was a combonation of saiyan tag, but you had to be underwater the whole time. If you surfaced, you lost.

As for Epcor and Monopoly, they were tanning along with Chazz and Vemon who just wanted to relax for the afternoon.

Needless to say it was a nice dream. The feeling of the dizziness he had when he was awake was vanishing. He kind of wondered who it was that saved him. There was no way he thought it was Iori, though that's who really did save him.

But, looking at how happy Ash was in this particular dream, it made Andy think that perhaps Iori did have a hand in making Andy feel better. It also made Andy wonder why Raditz didn't save him.

Andy laughed out loud, while dreaming too, thinking that maybe Raditz had no medical inclinations whatsoever and was so at a loss as to how to help Andy in the first place.

About 3 or four hours had passed before Andy was coming out of the dream feeling much better and much more refreshed. He immediately noticed the fan that had a crescent moon symbol in the center.

Placing his forefinger and thumb over his chin, Andy thought, "So it was Iori. Ha, I have to thank him later. He's really taking this Santa Claus role well. I wonder if he'll be like this more often. Nah, that isn't his style. But heck, that was cool of him to do."

Now getting up out of bed, Andy found out that he was still a bit dizzy, but it was nothing like before and he knew all that was was because he was hungry and he needed some food. Besides, the scent of the Christmas Meal was wafting through the vents to his room. He wanted to rush up there like pulling a Trunks or something, but knew that his body wasn't going to allow it.

So, slowly and more dignified, he wandered up the stairs. Andy was fully dressed and in more suitable clothes for the occasion. He had to wonder if Iori also had a hand in that, or perhaps that was Bardock. Yeah, likely Bardock.

Yanking open the lounge door, Andy wandered over to where there was a huge table and Viper, Vega, Sama, Vegitatchi, and now Kakarota were sitting. Of course he noticed Trunks there with Zane. But that was a given. He knew they'd be there.

He then sat at their table and said, "Hey Viper, Vegitatchi, are you having a happy holiday season so far?"

He wanted to say more, but didn't want to sound like Trunks with about a million questions, oh, wait that was Goten, and not Trunks.

Andy began to laugh! He said, "Well, I guess Sangcun is feeling that living in Flower Bud Village is a bit too peaceful. Why else would she go for someone like Ash. And knowing Ash who hasn't known love before will be dragged right into her trap. Its a trap that he should fall into. I mean like having Iori being the only good natured Orochi is getting kind of dull too. Dispite what he did for me."

Andy thought about it. He said, "Well, she may say no because Chazz made her faint. Hahahhaha!"

Andy then got himself some ginger root soda and then replied, "Well, personally, I think Vemon will say no. Yes, I do realize how much Chazz loves Vemon, but Vemon is the type that replies without thinking. Especially after something like fainting has happened to her. She's like me. Get me angry and I go off the deep end over half the time. And until I am satisfied, I just keep on going. Vemon is very much like me in that sense. However, though she will reject Chazz and get him crying no doubt for the amount of courage it took him to even ask, Vemon will immediately regret her decision and then she will begin to explain and actually talk with Chazz about her true feelings. I bet it will be the first actual heart to heart conversation that Vemon will ever have with Chazz. But, Chazz is a good boy. He will listen to what Vemon has to say and the two of them will work it out."
