Alright, so I tried to find a fanfic that covered this, but no one seemed to have done it, so I thought, "Hey, maybe I could do that…"

Disclaimer: I claim nothing and you know it. This story belongs to me no more than Disney land does.

I returned to the caves along with my group and the group that Burns belonged to. We were going to introduce everyone and share the good news. I couldn't believe it. This was so wonderful! The resistance was stronger than I thought!

I briefly wondered if Jared would make them wear blindfolds, but I dismissed the thought as soon as it came; they were humans, there was nothing for them to mistrust. Well, except for Burns maybe, but I had a feeling that Nate would defend him.

Just now, Burns moved to stand next to me where I walked beside Ian. He asked, "So, what made you decide to turn against our fellow souls?"

I didn't really want to answer that, but… "That's a long story. It boils down to loving a handful of humans, both from my previous host's memories and from my own." I gave Ian's hand a squeeze. "What about you?" You give some, you get some.

"Well, it started out with Nate capturing me, but I found the humans fascinating. After awhile, I wanted to help them. I became great friends with Nate, too. So, who are these humans you're so attached to?"

"My previous host's brother, Jamie. I used to love her lover, Jared. You met him. I developed strong feelings for Melanie, too. She was my previous host. She stayed long after insertion and after awhile, I didn't want to get rid of her. You met her, too."

At that point, Ian added, "And me." He wrapped an arm around my small shoulders.

Ignoring Ian, Burns asked, "So, you told them the secret? Why?"

"I loved Melanie too much. I wanted to give her body back. In fact, the plan was for me to die, but all of these people wouldn't let that happen. They found me an empty host and now here I am."

I couldn't help smiling up at Ian. He replied in kind.

Burns looked surprised, "That's a huge sacrifice, but I'm glad they put you in a new body. You mentioned another soul living with your group of humans… ?"

"Yeah; Sunny. She kind of has a similar situation with love. Besides, we failed to bring her human back, so there's no harm in keeping her. Often though, we remove the soul and send them to a different planet, so that the human can come back."

"You're bringing back the human race."

"Yes. I think this planet is rightfully theirs and there's something about humans that other hosts just don't have."

He nodded, clearly in agreement. That was good. He said, "I look forward to spending time with you and this Sunny." Then, he dropped back to walk with Nate and Jared.

Ian commented, "Friendly."

I grinned, "All souls are."

"Of course. So, where do you think Jeb will have them sleep?"

"Well, seeing as we'll be moving back to the bedrooms, the game room will be open."

"I'm glad I won't be the one on the ground."

"I can't imagine anyone would be. Let's walk with Mel."

"Ugh. She still doesn't like me. I swear, she's protective of you."

I giggled, "She's like a sister to me. And besides, you used her body to kiss me before."

"True, but that doesn't change anything."

"Okay. Now, let's go talk to her."

A moment later, Melanie said, "Hey, Wanda." She just nodded at Ian.

I said, "Do you know why we're taking such a slow pace?"

"We're in a larger group now. Harder to keep together. Besides, I doubt you would be able to run much more. Your legs are so short you have to take twice as many strides as anyone else."

"Yeah, but I still feel like I should be able to run the way I did in your body."

She smiled, more understanding than anyone else would have been. Then, she released Jared's hand and asked Ian, "Do you mind if I have Wanda to myself for a moment?"

Both men nodded, although I think Mel would have gone ahead anyway. She pulled me out of earshot and asked, "How are things with you and Ian? Your thoughts were so strong in my body and now you seem so timid. I wish I could still hear your thoughts."

"I think that Ian doesn't want to rush me. Besides, this body, isn't used to feeling such love."

"Well, it better get adjusted."

I smiled, "You know, I wish I could hear your thoughts, too, but sometimes your actions and expressions are enough, having shared them for so long."

"I wish it were that easy for me. It's odd to be able to look at you."

"And you, too." We laughed together.

After a moment of comfortable silence, Mel said, "Hey, I think I see it in the distance!"

What do you think? Any ooc? If you have suggestions let me know; I'm open to ideas, but I have a relatively clear plan to start with.

Review please. Flames welcome if neccissary.
