She's Back.

[This thread is open to anyone. I put the footsteps in there in case anyone wants an introduction, so come on in and make me less lonely]

Coming back from the dead isn't as amazing as it sounds; it hurts like a mother and makes you feel odd. After all, one second you're milling around Heaven and strumming a harp, and the next your body is disentegrating into a million tiny pieces and being rearranged in the sky just before you drop.

The drop is probably the worst part. Whoever created me decided that I should be an ungraceful ghost, and thus I fell flat on my face on the cold grass.

But, the good thing is I'm back. Even if I'm not really sure how I got back.

I stand up, and I look around, and I wonder if my grave is here. Did they have a funeral for me? Are they here? Patrolling? The more cynical part of me wonders if there have been deaths, and the more optimistic part of me just hopes they're having a lovely party somewhere and celebrating something.

I dust myself off and hear faint footsteps from nearby, the grass crunching a little. I figure I'm probably non-corporeal, but I can at least look frightening, so I get myself in a semi fighting position.

"Who's there?" I call out.

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

I jumped a mile in the air when I heard someone yelling. It was probally the stupidest thing to do, patroling with no powers, but I needed to do something. And usually vampires didn't just yell. I tried to answer the voice back "I am!"

I Stiffened as I walked through the graveyard. that sounded like...

Without thinking, i slipped through a shadow, landing right in front of her.
"Nikki!"

[Nicola Next]

Wow, I never expected two responses at once. And when Doc appeared in front of me, I nearly jumped a foot in the air. Nearly. First I'd deal with Doc, and then maybe if the first voice wanted to make an appearance, they could.

"Oh, hello." I gave Doc a little wave. "What's up?"

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

I snuck a bit closer, wondering what the comotion was. I hid behind a grave, watching the two

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"What's up? You mean besides you supposedly dead? Well, not that i can talk but still...What are you doing back?"

[Nicola Next]

"I am dead," I told him. "And I'm not entirely sure why I'm back. One second I'm in the clouds being bored, and the next I'm face down in the cemetary."

I rubbed the back of my neck a little nervously. "So, um, what have I missed?"

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Oh not a lot. I dies, Jessy left, i came back..."

[Nicola Next]

I couldn't help it; I laughed. "Damn, Doc, sounds like business as usual. It's good to see you alive though. God, it's good to see you in general!"

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"I agree whole heartedly," I said with a smile. "Things have gotten wierder than usual. It's good to see an old friend back."

[Nicola Next]

I smiled back. "So how is everyone? How's Rogue?" I clasped my hands together in mock prayer. "Please don't tell me she's gone evil again."

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Briefly. But that was my fault," i said. "She's good. Busy, what with the kids."

[Nicola Next]

"How many kids are there?" I asked, vaguely remembering Duckie from before I had died.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Well, Duckie's headed back to her own time. And then she got born early. So, there's Lionel, Danielle (that's Duckie, by the way) and Aubrey. then there's Abigail, who is Rogue's daughter before she turned that we went back in time to rescue."

My eyes widened a little and I scratched my head as I tried to contemplate four kids. "Wow. She really is busy." I thought of something suddenly. "Hey, quick question; how long have I been dead? Time doesn't really exist in Heaven."
