Right before anyone starts to think I am downing Orthodox Judaism or Islam or Egalitarianism I'm NOT
As a matter of fact my great grandmother was an orthodox Jew from poland. My grand parents were not really orthodox but they did observe passover. My grandfather and my Mum became Christians because they felt on their hearts a sense of freedom and were not rejected by my grandmother, she was not thrilled but she was not like my great grandmother and YES my great grandmother did disown her other daughter became a Jehovah's witness. She was extremely orthodox and would not speak to anyone who turned away from the Jewish faith.

So I am Jewish by blood and happy to be, Jesus was Jewish after all :D

I also have many pagan friends. We had a family convert from Islam and left Iran when they became christian so they have told me a lot about the Islamic culture and how they were also disowned by their families back in Iran when they became Christians so its all going by facts and experiences.

This story begins three weeks before the rapture, Eighteen years old now and a Christian, Francine goes round to visit Muffy who is celebrating a Halloween party. Francine attempts to telll her and prunella about the lord but is knocked down. Arthur and francine have been trying to reach their friends for a long time but once the rapture hits and all hell breaks lose, the ones left behind start to rethink what their friends had tried to tell them. No flaming or hate please, if you do not like it do not read it. God bless

Rated K+ for hinted violence and very low level offensive language

PG 13

Three weeks before:

The autumnal leaves fall outside of Muffy crosswires large estate.

Francine Frensky has not spoken to muffy in over a year, not because she openly received the lord when she read the bible with Arthur and his family. She had many questions and was overwhelmed with the kindness his family had shown to her. Arthur was so relieved his girlfriend of four years had finally received Christ he said they would spend eternity together. The fact that Francine felt waves of guilt for not talking to muffy about god for two years after she became a christian, angered her best friend and Queen bee in every respect.

When they were 17 yrs old Muffy told Francine to stop talking about the bible and forgiveness or she would not speak to her again. Francine and Arthur both visited her last christmas but she tossed them out. So they prayed instead but Muffy would not let them come round again. She blocked them both on facebook however not all of their friends were like that. Buster remained a close companion to Arthur and respected his beliefs even if he thought Francine was a little strange for converting from a strict jewish upbringing to Christianity. He did not care though, buster was a non judgmental kind of guy

Francine knew what she had to do, but as the years passed, it became increasingly more difficult for Francine and Arthur to get through to their friends. George was an Egalitarian which is someone who believes everyone is equal and there should be no wars, no famine and nothing but peace one earth which is a good thing, however he chose not to accept Christ as the only begotten son of god. Sue ellen remained friends with both Francine and Arthur as did George, everyone respected each other. They enjoyed each others company, going to movies together and hanging out for coffee. Adil had recently started seeking spiritual advice after spending alot of time on skype with francine who had lost favor with her parents after converting. He had several questions which hurt her to answer as she prayed for her family regularly. This struck a chord in the Islamic young man who knew his parents and siblings would feel the same if he chose to believe in the word of the bible over the Q'uaran the same way Francines parents and her sister Catherine refused to acknowledge the book of Isiah in the old testament which speaks of the son of god coming to earth to be a sacrifice and the messiah who would rise again after walking the earth for thirty three years.

Halloween night.
The kids of elwood were now all 18yrs old.

When Miss Frensky (soon to be READ) arrived on Muffys door step she was greeted by a girl wearing a purple corset with a glittery face mask covering her eyes.

She had long wavy hair and a dark skirt underneath.

"OH" she gasped. "What do YOU want?" Muffy placed her hands on her hips.

Francine, dressed in a long pair of jeans with striped t shirt, hair past her shoulders and earrings just smiled.

"Hey Muffy" she waved. "Long time no see"

Muffy sighed.

"Yes well, ever since Arthur made you into this goody two shoes christian" She spat. "Its like you became this different person" "You were okay at first but then..."

Francine sighed. "Please let me in"

"Well" Muffy thought aloud. "You do look presentable" "So I guess you can come in"

Muffy was still as shallow as ever.

When Francine stepped inside there were many familiar faces drinking punch and talking.

Prunella sauntered over dressed as catwoman. She sneered at Miss Frensky.

"Who let the drop out in?"

Muffy folded her arms.

"I did" she replied.

Francine looked directly in her eyes.

"You know something Prunella?" Francine began.

"Yeah I was a drop out" "I had no choice"

Muffy then became angry.

"How on earth can you go on about this Jesus stuff when you got pregnant at 15 and had to leave high school huh?"

Prunella then jumped in.

'"Yeah" "Some christian Arthur was." "You are two nobody's raising a kid at his parents house" She sneered.

Muffy laughed. "He's not even going to college" "He has to work"
She then tilted her head to one side and let out a sarcastic remark. "So much for college huh?"

"You are just teen mom with no job and no family""They got sick of you just like we did"
Prunella pierced Francines heart with those words

Francine felt tears come to her eyes.

Muffy only said these things because she was hurt.

Prunella said them because she was a snarky bitch to be honest.

"Well I looked into my crystal ball and saw you and Arthur living on welfare"

Prunella wanted to be a psychic or medium like her sister Rubella had trained to become, however she was using her interest just to provoke Francine.

Muffy on the other hand was genuinely hurt when she spat out the hate filled words
She, was there for francine when she got the pregnancy test results.

Muffy was there for her friend when she was so ill with severe morning sickness that poor francine was in hospital for thirteen weeks.

Muffy held her hand as Francine prepared for her emergency C section.

Muffy gave her and Arthur baby clothes.

Francines bubby brought Francine a crib and Arthurs parents let them stay in their home.

Baby jake, their little boy, now three years old had everything he needed and more so.

Muffy felt a little guilty for what she said.

Placing a shoulder on francine, she apologized for the cruel words.

"Its just I feel like you didn't give a damn that I supported you when your parents kicked you out" Muffy wept.

Francine wiped tears from her own eyes and went to give Muffy a hug.

"I appreciated it more than you will ever know" "This past year has been hard without a best girl friend"

She then explained how everything happened.

"That is why when I had my baby boy, and started reading the bible with Arthur" "I felt that I had to tell you sooner or later, before it was too late" Francine said in a solemn tone of voice.

Muffy rolled her eyes, "Yeah yeah"

"Arthurs parents did not judge me" "Not once" Francine added.

"The day I told them I was having a baby with Arthur," "I expected them to kick Arthur out" "but instead, they took me by the hand and prayed with me"
"They said they forgave us both" She then started to smile. "They said because Jesus forgave"

"Yeah" Muffy nodded. "Your parents didnt not kick you out either, just because you got pregnant" "They were angry but..."

Francine interceded. "I know that Muffy" "they were very upset with me" "Except for my buby"

Prunella got bored with the conversation and walked away.

Francine could not hold in her anger and spoke out of hurt.

"Fine then Prunella walk away and play with your crystal ball"

Prunella just rolled her eyes and sauntered off.

Muffy took francine aside and the two of them sat and talked for a bit.

They continued the conversation.

"I could not believe she wanted you to move to Florida" "Away from your friends"

Francine answered Muffy as kindly as she could.

"Well My grandma had more money than my family" "She also saw my grandfather die, she has witnessed enough heart ache in her life to lose another family member"

"Was she upset you did not go down to stay with her?" Muffy asked.

Francine shook her head. "No not really"

"When she found out Arthurs parents would look after me she seemed to be okay with it"

"Why was she so nice, but your own parents kicked you out?" Muffy asked, totally baffled.

"Well" "My buby was different" She answered. Francine pressed her hands on her jeans.

"Even though we are both Jewish by blood," "Buby and me, well we agreed on respecting each others beliefs"
"Being born Jewish is something very special to god" She smiled.

"The bible talks about it when Paul went to..."

Muffy then stood up and put her hands on her hips interrupting her very loudly.

"Well then, why don't you go witness to her instead of me?"

Francine looked to the floor. "I am trying" she replied sadly.

Muffy knelt beside her.

"Whats wrong?"

Francine held back tears.

"She's dying Muffy"

Muffy gasped and wrapped her arms around Francine.

"OMG I am so sorry"

Francine received the hug warmly.

"Its okay" "Well it will be I hope" she replied.

Muffy then decided the two of them should remain friends.

"Well I can't abandon you now can I?"she sighed.

Francine smiled and gave her best friend a little kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you"

"Thank you so much"
