"What the heck are you doing!" Sadey yelled at her boyfriend Joe. She was wearing a one strap red shirt and boot cut jeans and red and white k-swiss sneakers. He was wearing baggy jeans, an under-shirt and black sneakers. He was messing with Casper by doing his own little rodeo with him. Spinning him around in circles and rearing. "Yee haw!" Joe hollered over Casper's whinnies. Now Casper was bucking and Joe was having the time of his life. "I said STOP!" Sadey had no choise but to use her powers to get him off Casper. She touched her choker and then screamed at Joe. The sonic waves came out of her mouth and knocked him off the horse. Sadey ran to Casper and took off the saddle and bridle, then led him to the paddock they built for the 2 horses and let him loose. Sadey went to the barn to put the tack away. Once it was in place, Sadey ran out to Joe. "What the hell did you think you were doing! You could have really hurt him!" Sadey yelled. She was so mad at him. She knew he knew better then to treat a horse like that. "What? Can't a guy have some fun?" Joe just got up and brushed himself off like he just tripped over a rock and started to head for the tower. "Have FUN? You call that FUN! You know he's not a rodeo horse. He can't do all those things at one time. What is up with you lately? You're not acting like yourself" Sadey rambled on following Joe to the tower. Joe turned around to face her. "And you've been bossy lately. You're starting to get all mad about the littlest thing. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go play Gamestation with BB." And with that, he turned away, hands in his pockets, and heading for the doors. "screw you" she murmered. With that, she went to the barn and took Lilly out of her stall and led her to the paddock and let her loose. She just watched the 2 horses play. She loved to watch the snow white gelding and the ebony black mareprance around and nip each other. It looked like a little private dance just for her. Sadey just leaned against the railing and thought. "What has gotten into him lately? What's gotten into me? I'm starting to get more angry easily and he's becoming more happy-go-lucky. And my eyes start to glow blue when ever I get very furious. My eyes don't glow blue. The only time they do glow is when I want them to. But even then they don't glow blue. And at other times, my hands get hot." Sadey started thinking about why her hands are getting hot and her eyes are glowing blue. She just shoved those thoughts to the back of her mind and watched the horses play while thinking about how Joe started to become so, the way he is now. She thought back to when he started to act wierd. He started to get angry easily. The first time he got angry was when he was talking to Sadey. Then out of no where, he slapped her. She still remembers the pain of hte slap. It hurt like a thousand needles on her face all at the same time. Then he started to talk rudly. Sadey thought of the argument they had.

(flashback)

She was sitting on the couch and was watching animal planet when he came over and flopped down on the couch and grabbed the remote and changed the channel. "Hey. I was watching that" Sadey said in an annoyed tone. "So, it was stupid. They're just animals." He flipped to a channel that Sadey had not even bothered of looking for. It was the movie channel where the movie of the day was 'Girls gone wild: the unedited version.' There was girls lifting up there shirts and pulling down their pants. And none of it was blurred out! Then Joe did the unthinkable. "Come on baby, do some of this for me." Sadey just looked at him like he just spoke another language. "Excuse me?" she asked. "Come on, you heard me." He reached for her shirt and started to pull it up. But Sadey wasn't going to let him get far. She shoved his hand off her and got up off the couch. "You're a sick perve. You know that. What is wrong with you. You never even watch this." She pointed ot the t.v. He took a glance at it and looked back at her. "So, time for a change isn't it?" Joe just had the most pathetic look on his face. "What kind of change is this? it's a huge change. You use to respect me. respect my privacy. ever heard of that. And don't ever think that i'm going to put on a strip show for you. You got that?" Sadey was angry at his actions. Then Joe just turned his attention to the t.v. and ignored her. "bitchy hore" he murmered. "And I ain't deaf ass hole" She hollered over the whooping on the t.v. screen. "Screw you" she murmered when she was out of the room. She walked down the hall, head looking at the ground. She cursed out Joe in her mind for about an hour.

(end of flashback)

Then Sadey saw a purple figure in the sky. When it came closer, she noticed it was Starfire. She landed softly on the ground and looked at Sadey. Her face had a look of confusion on it. "Please, may I ask..." Starfire started but Sadey interupted her. "Why he's being an ass hole? I have no idea." Sadey started to walk again. Starfire followed. "That wasn't what I was really going to ask. You and Joe seem to be acting like normal mid-aged teenagers on Tameran. Um, this may be personal but, um, were you and Joe adopted?" When Sadey heard her say that, she stopped. Star saw her stop and stopped with her. Then Sadey started to speak. "Yeah, and my adoptive parents won't let me know who my real parents are. They won't even tell me where I came from. I looked in all adoption centers around our town but none of them had me registered at one time before. So now I don't even know if it's even worth trying to look anymore." Sadey wasn't used to telling people this stuff but she felt like she could tell Star. Then Sadey started to talk again. "And Joe's adoptive parents only told him that he was adopted and that he was found. So we both don't know anything about ourselves. nothing" Now Sadey felt hot tears welding in her eyes. She blinked them back. "I'm sorry about your past, but I have some news that is very different. I wasn't sure if I was to tell you this or not. but now that the subject is as you say, brought up, I feel the need to tell you. When I was very small, there was informed about an unusual thing on my planet. There was 2 births of 2 seperate infants by seperate mothers. One was a girl and the other was a boy. The girl child had the blonde hair and one brown streak her head. Just like you do. The boy looked more like a tameranean but had the freckles. On my planet, children who look different were to be sent to another planet. The parents didn't want to send them anywhere. But they had no choise. They chose to send them to earth where they would most likely fit in. But here is the big thing. The mother of the blonde baby girl was my mother's sister. And the infant boy's father is the uncle of my father. So, that means..." Starfire started but Sadey cut in. "That means that we're related to you. And that he is related to me. And that..." "You may also enheirit the throne." Starfire ended what she had to say and waited for Sadey's reaction. Sadey just started at her alien friend infront of her. She had wide eyes. She had no clue what to think. 'Is she saying that i may be a tameranian?' Sadey thought. "I have another question, did you do the dying on the hair with your brown streak?" Starfire asked. "No, I never did. But are you trying to say that you think that I'm a tameranian?" Sadey wondered. Starfire just nodded her head slightly. "That does sound very odd. Yet it sounds right. Hey, do all Tameranians have the same blood type?" Sadey asked. "It depends. But most do. Why?" Starfire asked perplexed. "Well, if you wouldn't mind testing my blood and yours, then we can tell if your story relates to me, ...and him." Sadey grumbled the last words she said but Starfire agreed to doing what Sadey suggested. They both went to the infermery room and did what they went there to do. When the results came back, Sadey was suprised. "Our blood is the same type. So that means that I..." Sadey started. "You are the tameranian that was sent away" Starfire finished. "Well, you might want to do the same test on the jack ass too." Sadey suggested. Star just nodded and went to get Joe. Sadey was impressed that Star knew who she was tralking about. Well, sometimes when they're fighiting bad guys, she hears spectators saying such words about th evil guys. Or if they're a really stupid by-stander, then they'll call one of the titans a name like that. But when Starfire askes Robin to clear it up for her, he tells her what it is and she understands. Sadey stopped her day thinking (A/N not day dreaming) and left the infermery. She thought she'd like to talk to Dove for a while. Sadey walked down the hall and got just what she wished. She ran into Dove. "Oh, hey Sadey. um... why were you and Starfire in the infermery?" Dove asked perplexed. Sadey told her the story that Star told her. She told Dove that they had to see if she was the baby that was sent away. "And since pretty much most tameranians have the same blood type, we went to see if they were the same." Sadey ended. "Were they?" Dove wondered. Sadey just nodded her head. Dove had a sort of suprised look on her face. But it wasn't the type of suprised face like 'are joking' kind of suprised. It was the kind of 'wow, that's really something!' kind of suprised. "So, that means that if your real mom is the sister to Starfire's, than that makes you 2 cousins. And if Joe's dad is Starfire's uncle, that makes Star Joe's dad's great niece, and since you and her are cousins, then that makes you and him, um..., i don't quite know actually. But I think it would make you and him great cousins I believe." Dove ended. Sadey just went along with it and didn't want to argue. She didn't want to think of her family ties with Joe anyway. Then Dove had to go meditate so Sadey was all alone again. But for some odd reason, she started to think of all the fun times she had with Joe, before he turned into a ass hole. while she thought, a song came into her head by her favorite singer, Carrie Underwood.

sittin' up on the roof

sneakin' a smoke by the chimney

checkin' out the moon, and the city lights

he takes off his flannel shirt and he

drapes it around her shoulders

slides up behinder and holds on tight

and she says

I don't want this night to end

why does it have to end

tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10 baton Rouge

LSU, 18 years in her rear-view

he's got a friday pay check lined up down the block

at daddy's shop

it ain't much but it's a job

they've been dreadin' this moment all summer long

the night before life goes on

Sadey thougt of the time when she snuck out of the house to meet with Joe. That was the night when they both found out that they were adopted. Sadey was hurt the most. She hated not bieng told things. They walked around town, talking about random things. Then they went to a roller rink and skated for a while. Sadey stopped taking blasts to the past and looked on for the future. But thoughts just flooded in like a natural disaster. Then she felt hot tears weld up in her eyes.

oooh, a tear falls off her cheek

and right when it hits his arm he says

come on baby, let's get out of here

they one last drive around town and

man it already looks different

he bangs the wheel and says

life ain't fair

this growin' up stuff

man i don't know

i just don't want to let you go
