The big city.

Elliot laughed. "You're right," She said, looking around. Suddenly she looked sad.
~!!~
"Um....Jade?" Sable asked quietly. "What are you uhm...wearing?" He asked. His cheeks were bright red.
~!!~
Lenora took a deep breathe, and started to walk. "This place is so big...there's no way I can find him," She mumbled.
~!!~
Raven was still in the park. She was swinging back and forth on the swing, higher and higher.

"I don't know. Ask Melody." Jade said. "She is the one that froced me in it."

~!!~
"What's wrong?" He asked.

~!!~
Dust smiled. "I'm sure you can."

Rose looked even more worried then and disappeared. She reappeared on the front porch and was eye to eye Damon. She said nothing to him as she rushed inside and up to Ashley's room. She burst in to door and saw Ashley sitting in her bed. "Oh thank god." she sighed in relief and collapsed in the corner.

"What are you doing here?" Ashley snapped

"Like it or not, I'm still your guardian and your friend." Rose said

Sable found himself staring, and quickly looked away. "Uhm...right, well....I can uhm....teach you now..." He said.
~!!~
"I was just thinking..." Elliot said quietly. "About what might have happened if we hadn't died like we did."
~!!~
Lenora nodded, but she didn't have to look far. A few moments later, her father was standing in front of her.

She trunned her head and smiled at him. "Okay."

~!!~
"Amuse me." Tyler said, sitting down, still in the water. "What could of have happen?"

~!!~
Dust nodded his hello to the man.

Lenora held his hand tighter, so he coudln't leave.

"I'm....sorry," Lenora whispered. "You have no idea how much it hurt when you left. And I'll never understand why you did, no matter how many times you try and explain it to me. But you tried to come back. I'm sorry..." She said quietly. Her father was smiling sadly at her. "You have nothing to aplogize for," He said quietly.
~!!~
"Well," Elliot said, sitting down next to him. "Maybe we would have met again later. I know for sure I wouldn't have gone through with my proposal...at least, I don't think so," She said. "I mean, marrying someone I didn't love...wasn't a very good idea," she said. "And you....well, maybe we could have met again," She said. "Or.....maybe you would have found another girl." She shrugged, looking away.
~!!~
Sable smiled at her, finally getting over what she was wearing. He walked over to her and past her, into the water until he was knee deep. He gestured for her to follow.

Jade felt strange, but she finally let her arms drop to her sides, and followed him.

~!!~
Dust said nohing. He felt that he should leave, but her hand told him other wise.

~!!~
Dust sighed. "But what is the point of thinking about what could have been, when we can think about what could be."

Sable pulled her closer by her hand, and began to speak.

"Okay. I'm going to teach you the same way I taught Raven, okay?" He asked. He pulled her a bit deeper, and kept talking. "Okay, so I'm going to help you float first, okay?" he asked. He slowly pulled her back so she was on her back, but kept his arms under her back. "Now, move your arms like this," He said, showing her. "I promise I won't let go, okay?" He asked.
~!!~
Elliot shrugged. "But everything seems so messed up," she whispered. "We should have both been angels, but now we're...everything is messed up."
~!!~
Lenora's father stepped forward, wrapping her into a hug. Her breathe caught in her throat, but she soon hugged him back, releasing her hold on Dust's hand.

Jade nodded. Her face grew slightly red when his hand touched her bare back. She nodded again. "I trust you." She said as she did what he told her to.

~!!~
Tyler shock his head. "I went insane, I might of have killed you later down the line."

~!!~
Dust stepped back, smileing.

"Okay..." Sable said. "Good. Now, keep your back straight and your stomach up," He said. "And keep moving your arms."
~!!~
Elliot shook her head. "No, I don't think you would have," She said quietly.
~!!~
Lenora and her farther talked in hushed tones for a few minutes, before she hugged him again.

Jade nodded, doing as she was told. She laughed slightly. "This is harder then Flying."

~!!~
Tyler frowned. "Do you know how I died?"

~!!~
Dust staied silent.

Elliot shrugged. "Not exactly..." She said slowly. "How?"
~!!~
Sable laughed as well. "Now, I'm going to let go, but I'm right here if you need me, okay?" He asked. "Just keep doing what you are, and you'll be fine."
~!!~
Lenora turned to Dust now. "Let's go," She said quietly. Her father smiled at her.

"I killed myself." He said softly, wacthing the kids play.

~!!~
Jade nodded slowly.

~!!~
"Wait, before we leave, mind helping me find Dawn?" He asked, quietly.

Lenora nodded. "Yeah, sure," She said, though it was obvious the idea made her uncomfortable. She wasn't sure if Dawn still loved her brother like that anymore.
~!!~
Sable removed his arms from under her back and took a step back, watching her.
~!!~
Elliot's eyes widened. "Why?" She whispered.

"I killed Tally." He said. "But Matt and Chalire forgave me, and hid the fact that I was the one that killed her, so I wouldn't be put to death. It wasn't right, so I killed myself."

~!!~
Dust kissed her cheek. "Thank you, I need to know if she is okay."

~!!~
Jade suddenly slipped under the water.

Elliot's eyes widened slightly, and she shook her head. In a moment she was hugging him tightly.
~!!~
Lenora nodded. Her father was gone now. "Where should we look, though?" She asked.
~!!~
Sable reached and grabbed her quickly, pulling her out. He held her close. "Are you okay??" He asked quickly.

Jade seemingly forgotten about what she was wearing, and wrapped her arms around him. "Yes, thankyou."

~!!~
Dust sighed. "Donno." He whispbered.

~!!~
Tyler looked down at her, and hugged her back.

Sable sighed in relief, and hugged her back. Only when his hands touched her bare back did he realize what she was wearing. or rather, the lack of. His face turned bright red and he pulled back, but still held her up so she wouldn't go under the water again.
~!!~
"Does she still...uhm...." Lenora said, seemingly unable to finish her sentence.
~!!~
Elliot closed her eyes, still hugging him. "I don't know what happened," she mumbled. "But it doesn't matter now. None of it does. You're not going to go insane anymore. The pain in my back is proof enough of that," She whispered.

Tyler frowned. "I still don't believe you should have paid the price."

~!!~
Dust frowned. "I have no idea."

~!!~
Only when his hand touch her back, and he suddenly pulled away did she remeber. She looked away, her fac also bright red.

"I did it by choice, to help you. I don't regret it at all," She whispered, still hugging him.
~!!~
Lenora nodded, but didn't seem nearly as relaxed as she had been a few moments ago.
~!!~
"Um....we should try again..." Sable said quietly, stumbling over his words, cheeks bright red.

Jade nodded, not yet looking at him.

~!!~
Dust frowned. "You don't have to . . ."

~!!~
Tyler shock his head. "I do, I wished you didn't. I feel like this is my fault"

Lenora smiled at him. "No, I want to," She said, taking a deep breathe. "Come on."
~!!~
"Okay, so," Sable said, slowly lowering her back into the water, keeping his hands on her back. "Ready? Just focus on keeping your stomach up. That's what Raven had trouble with, too."
~!!~
Elliot frowned and shook her head. "It isn't," she said. "It isn't."

Dust nodded, taking her hand.

~!!~
Jade looked up at him, and nodded slowly.

~!!~
Tyler sighed. "If you say so."

Sable finally let go again, but was close to catch her if she went under again. "Remember what I said," he said.
~!!~
Elliot finally pulled back, and offered him a small smile. She stood up and offered him a hand.
~!!~
Lenora held his hand tightly, and looked at him. "Lead the way," She said, smiling slightly.

Jade did as she was told and managed to stay up for a little while. That was until she smiled.

~!!~
Tyler stood up with alittle help.

~!!~
Dust smiled, and started walking aimlessly.
