What else should I be? All apologies What else could I say? (scrooge and della)

[sos_pilot]

The rocket-ship had landed perfectly - she couldn't have asked for a better spot. Almost overblown with glee, Della raced towards the familiar mansion, jumping into the gates (and being swiftly reminded about earth's gravity.)

Once she made it to the front door, she began to practice her lines. How did one greet the family she hadn't seen in ten years? Casual? Heartfelt? Hip? She knew in the end it didn't really matter - they'd be happy to see her, she'd be happy to see them, lots of tears, lots of hugs. It was time to really start over as a family, all of them together. How much would Scrooge and Donald changed since she was gone? ... Then again, Scrooge hadn't really changed from when she was a child to her adult years, so he was probably the same loveable greedy coot.

No time like the present, for the world's best present - herself! (Was Scrooge still Anti-Santa? So many things to ask.)

She rang the doorbell three times, then knocked on the door with both hands, biting down on her tongue to keep from yelling.

She was home!
