Xena
Strangest thing happened today. I watched Gabrielle die. She'd been sick for a while, poisoned in fact. There was a cure, she knew it, but she wanted to be with me... When the time came for her to leave her mortal body behind, I thought that we'd be reunited. What I didn't expect was to be reunited with not only Gabrielle but my physical body as well. It seemed as if I had woken up in a different universe. It was strange. Here I laid beside my best friend and soul mate in a bed that was more comfortable than any thing I have ever felt before. I felt cool air blowing into my face from an unknown source. Upon hearing a large horn from outside I turned my head to the right and noticed a large window. One that appeared to block the outside world from entering by a, glass?
Strange indeed. Then I remembered, Gabrielle is next to me! Physically right beside me. I could just reach out and touch her. In fact- Reaching my hand out, it connected with soft, cool skin.
"Gabrielle?" I heard myself ask. She didn't wake but I could see the rising and falling of her chest. The urge to pull her in for a hug was overwhelming. Before I could do anything more, a door in the room opened.
"Mom!"
My eyes widened. A Black haired little girl, who appeared to be 11-years-old, stood in the doorway. Her piercing blue/grey eyes much like my own found mine.
"We're leaving, the bus is outside. Tell Mom I took a 20 out of her purse. Love you, bye!" Shouted the little girl. Now that the door was opened, I could hear noise from downstairs. It sounded like more children. Before I could respond or ask questions the door was slammed closed and I could hear feet running.
"Xena?" I heard Gabrielle ask beside me. "Is it really you?"
I turned to Gabrielle. "Gabrielle?'
"Oh Xena, I've missed you so much" She cried, I felt arms circling my neck. I immediately returned the hug.
"I've missed you too"
"Where are we?" Gabrielle questioned.
"I have no idea, but at least we're together"
Should I continue? How many kids do you all think Xena and Gabrielle should have. BTW, let's pretend that Xena and Gabrielle never had hope, Eve and Solan. This are different children.
