We're back, we're safe.
This is not something I want to make a habbit of, but I'm just so glad Piper is okay. I mean, she's not totally okay, she's pretty wiped out. I'm trying to convince Mom that stuffing her full of food probably won't make her feel any better. Thankfully, Dad had a stash of senzu beans, and we've given her two.
I'm not totally clear on what happened, but if I'm getting it straight it's almost like her ship had to sacrifice itself to save her. I'll get more details tomorrow, I'm sure. But the ship is no longer. It disolved into... well, ashes and glittery dust. But thankfully, it didn't take out anything on it's way down. I flew up to get her, which wasn't super easy, trying to judge that right. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, I didn't have to worry about the door to get into the ship, I could just fly in the large, gaping hole.
Piper and I met kinda in the middle, I grabbed her and we flew to safety. Not a moment too soon, cause we barely got out of the ship and it went into this spectacular fireball thing. Well, at least the heat felt pretty spectacular, I was flying, trying to shelter Piper. The back of my shirt is melted, which put Mom into fits when she saw it, but I'm fine. Maybe a little of that fine red fur singed, but other than that, I don't even have a scratch.
As I was near the ground, Dad was coming towards us. The look of relief on his face was something I don't ever think I'll forget. I don't think he realizes that I probably could have survived that blast, I was in SSJ4. Piper, however was another story.
So, if anyone is looking for Piper, she's at our house. And she's welcome to stay (as Mom and Dad keep saying to her over and over again) as long as she wants. I'm just glad she's alive.
I don't want to lose more people I love...
Yes, as far as I know, the mall is still on for tomorrow, Trunks and Yajirobe. Piper is saying that thanks to the senzu beans and with a good night's sleep, she'll be fine. If that changes, I'll put a message in LJ first thing in the morning.
I'm going to go make up the bed in the guest room for Piper. Give mom a chance to fuss over her a little longer. Poor girl, after all she's been through, she's got to make it through "mom's mothering." And yes, Mom, I'm teasing. I'm sure Piper appreciates a little fussing right now, but let her get some sleep, okay?
And Piper? I know this sounds wrong, but I don't know how else to put it, Thank you for living. I'm not ready to face the world without my best friend, my sister.
