Chapter Two

As Kevin walked along the small walkway through the forest, he tried to block out the vibes he was picking up from his friends. Much as he enjoyed their company he certainly didn't enjoy them going hammer and tongs at each other. He squinted, putting his hand up to block the bright rays of the sun filtering through the canopy of trees. This track was one he'd walked many times over the last couple of years. It was quiet here, apart from the song of an occasional Tui and the way the crackling of the pine needles underneath his feet echoed throughout the surrounding native bush. If only it was this quiet inside his mind. Usually when he came here, it was easy just to block out the world around him, and concentrate on what he wanted to, on what he needed to think about.

It was times like these where empathic powers had a real downside. Not only could he still hear the conversation between Megabyte and Jade, he could also pick up on the emotions behind the words. He shuddered. Not pleasant at all.

The trouble was he could see both their points of view. Even though Jade hadn't deliberately meant to upset Megabyte, Kevin knew why his friend was over reacting. After all he and Megabyte had been friends even before they had both become Tomorrow People. For all his humour and nonchalant attitude, Megabyte tended to ignore his feelings and problems in the hope that they would go away if he didn't acknowledge them. The 'if I pretend they don't exist, they won't' attitude. Kevin smiled to himself. It was probably a good thing that the redhead had no idea that he had any inkling about this, a very good thing.

Then of course there was the whole Jade having feelings for Megabyte complication. One of these days someone was going to have to give his friend a good kick…

Kevin came to the edge of the bush and started walking along the narrow dirt track which ran around the outside of the grass verge. Maybe the farther he got away from the telepathic projections, the easier it might be to block them out. He kicked a couple of pinecones that were lying on the nearby grass and watched them land close to the small river which ran through the Forest Park. Maybe if he tried again he might be able to land one in the water. He smiled again, remembering how he used to enjoy playing soccer when he was younger. Back in the days when his life passed for normal, before those other complications set in.

He kicked out, feeling the connection between his foot and the dry pinecone beneath. As he watched it sail through the air, a white shape leapt into action, grabbing the cone between its teeth. The large dog landed gracefully on all fours, then looked around, turning it's head towards the Tomorrow Person as Kevin let out a small whistle of appreciation. The animal gave a small whine and trotted over to him, dropping it's booty at his feet as Kevin ran his hand over the dog's coat.

"Hi boy, I wonder who you belong to." The dog stopped sniffing his trousers, looked

up at him as if in answer and barked.

"Ewan," Kevin said out loud, reading the label on the dog's collar. For some reason it reminded him of Jade's dog, Jessie.

"Ewan! Come here, Ewan." As Kevin looked around, trying to see who was calling out, a boy ran out of the bush, dog lead in hand.

"You've found him. Cool. I thought Jamie was going to kill me. Come here, Ewan." The boy slipped the lead onto the dog and ran his hands over his pet. As he turned to Kevin, relief showing on his face, the Tomorrow Person noticed how tall the newcomer was. Kevin had thought he was tall for his eighteen years but this boy had at least two inches on him. He was well built too in comparison to Kevin's own slight figure and as he spoke his accent betrayed his New Zealand origins.

Well of course it would. You're in New Zealand aren't you? What were you expecting? An American? Kevin felt a large grin spread over his face as he listened to the boy in front of him.

"Ewan slipped his collar when I was taking him for a walk," explained the boy, relief showing on his rather flushed face. Intense hazel eyes gazed at Kevin through gold rimmed glasses. "My brother Jamie's out looking for him now. The whole family is actually."

"Glad I could help." Kevin held his hand out to the boy and felt his grin grow even wider. "I'm Kevin by the way. Kevin Wilson."

"Alex," replied the boy, pushing his glasses back up his nose. "Alex MacDonald. Pleased to meet you." Alex frowned, pushing a lock of light brown hair out of his eyes and Kevin realised he was quite a lot younger then he'd first thought. Couldn't be more than about fifteen, if that.

"No I'm not from around here," Kevin explained then stopped. Oops. Alex hadn't asked him that out loud. Stop eavesdropping, he thought, you're getting as bad as Megabyte. "People usually ask about the accent," he finished lamely.

"Lucky guess," Alex grinned back at him." I tend to notice accents that aren't Kiwi… from New Zealand, I mean. You're British aren't you? I know you're not American because I know an American and her accent is quite different from yours."

Kevin nodded, running his hand over the dog's smooth coat. "He's a beautiful dog," he told Alex. " My aunt's a vet so I know a little bit about animals." Ewan stared up at him, panting and Kevin could feel the dog's rough tongue moving over his hand as he tickled him behind the ears.

Alex nodded. "My sister, Andrea, has a thing for that Ewan McGregor guy. That's who he's named after. We had to sit through Star Wars ten times just so that she could drool over him."

"Ewan the actor or Ewan the dog?" Kevin grinned at his own bad joke. Another sign he'd been hanging out with Megabyte way too much.

Another voice rang through the bush. "Alex, have you found Ewan yet?" An auburn haired young man, about the same age as Adam approached from the trees bordering the side of the carpark and headed towards them.

"Kevin found him," Alex explained, holding Ewan firmly as the dog began to bark excitedly. "Jamie, this is Kevin. Kevin, this is my brother Jamie."

"Pleased to meet you, Kevin." As Jamie held out his hand, Kevin noticed how different he was from his younger brother. Being similar in age wasn't the only thing the New Zealander had in common with Adam. He was tall and slim like the Australian and as Kevin watched, Jamie ran his hands through his hair. Kevin smiled; he wasn't the only one with that habit.

Kevin nodded towards Jamie, noticing how he was watching him intently, much the same way his brother had a few minutes earlier, as they shook hands. "Alex has just been telling me about Ewan," he explained.

Jamie gave his brother a playful dig in the ribs. "It's not like you to be so chatty, Alex," he said grinning.

Alex poked his tongue out in response, a smirk on his face as he looked over his brother's shoulder, towards the direction he had come from.

Kevin followed his gaze to see what or who he was looking at, and felt a shiver run up his spine as he recognised the girl who was approaching. He closed his eyes, and opened them again just to check he wasn't dreaming. As he caught her eye, he could see her reaction to seeing him was much the same. "Lisa," he said, almost in a whisper.

Alex looked from one to the other in surprise. "You two know each other?"

Kevin nodded, unsure of what to say. He stood there staring at her. It was the Lisa he remembered so well and yet at the same time it wasn't. Gone was the teenager she'd been the last time he'd seen her. In her place was a young woman. She'd grown her hair out and it made her seem different, though he couldn't quite put his finger on how exactly. She didn't seem as tall as he remembered either.

Maybe it's because you've grown up yourself you idiot. It's been seven years remember?

Lisa Davis looked as shell-shocked as he felt. "Hello Kevin," she said. "Long time, no see."

Jamie looked at Lisa, then at Kevin and back again at Lisa. "You know this guy, Lisa?" he asked. His tone was that of concern mixed with a degree of puzzlement.

"A long time ago. A lifetime ago." Ouch, thought Kevin, getting the distinct feeling Lisa wanted that particular lifetime to stay in her memories where it belonged. He was quickly getting the impression that she wasn't exactly over the moon to see him.

Jamie put a supportive arm around her, and Kevin again felt the concern coming from him. "Lisa," the auburn haired young man said gently. "Are you okay?" What was the relationship between him and Lisa? Were they just friends or something more?

"Yeah, just peachy." Even though she still sounded brusque Lisa didn't shift Jamie's arm. She gazed up at him and her eyes softened. "I'm sorry, Jamie. I've just had a shock that's all. I haven't seen Kevin for years. In fact he'd be about the last person I'd expect to see."

[Lisa, it's okay.] Kevin tried to sound reassuring, just as much for himself as for her. [You're not the only one feeling shell-shocked here.]

Silence.

[Lisa?] Surely after all these years she wasn't just going to brush him off? Just seeing her again brought back the hurt he'd felt when she had first left. He'd looked up to her back then. He still remembered dreaming of her all those years ago and how he'd first thought she was a figment of his imagination as they'd reached out to each other telepathically as they'd broken out.

Lisa stared at him, a worried expression sweeping over her dark features. [No telepathy, Kevin. I don't do that anymore.]

Kevin resisted the temptation of telling her that she just had. Still she wasn't exactly going to say that out loud if Jamie and Alex didn't know about the whole Tomorrow Person gig. He very much doubted they did, considering the expression on Lisa's face. A lifetime ago to Lisa obviously meant just that. Did she really think it was that bad being a Tomorrow Person?

[Lisa?] Megabyte sounded surprised. [Is that you?]

Lisa sighed but ignored him. "What are you doing in New Zealand, Kevin?"

"Just here for a short visit," replied Kevin hoping that the MacDonald's wouldn't ask how short. Most people didn't just visit a country on the other side of the world for a day and leave. Then again most people didn't use teleportation for their mode of transportation either.

[Kev, that is Lisa isn't it?]

[Yes, Megabyte] Kevin tried to listen to the spoken conversation going on around him as he answered. He knew full well that Megabyte wouldn't leave this alone. Now he knew Lisa was here, he'd have to see for himself.

"So are you here on your own, Kevin?" Lisa was obviously wondering how many other 'old friends' she was likely to run into. She must have heard Megabyte's telepathic query. Maybe this question was for the benefit of her companions?

[You mean as in the Lisa?]

[What other Lisa is there, Jade?] Megabyte's 'voice' sounded as though he'd lost some of that anger, Kevin was relieved to hear.

"I'm here with a couple of friends." Kevin answered Lisa's question, and tried to ignore the barrage of telepathic questions running through his mind from both Megabyte and Jade.

"Do you guys want to join us for afternoon tea?" asked Jamie. "After all it's not as though we've had much chance to meet any of Lisa's friends from before she moved over here is it?" Kevin's earlier suspicions were confirmed. The young man had no idea about Lisa's past or her desire to move on from it. Otherwise there was no way he would have suggested the invitation in the first place.

Lisa looked uncomfortable, her gaze shifting between himself and Jamie. "Kevin's probably got other things to do, places to be, that sort of thing. Haven't you, Kevin?" Her eyes widened, almost pleading for him to agree with what she'd just said.

"Ummm…" Kevin could take the hint. Of one thing he was sure, no way did Lisa want her old and new lives to combine. She was freaking at this, freaking majorly as Megabyte would say.

"Kev, there you are." At the sound of Megabyte's voice, Kevin turned and saw his two friends approaching. Lisa was going to love this. Judging by the telepathic comments he had been receiving, Megabyte hadn't been too impressed by Lisa's refusal to acknowledge his presence. Kevin had to admire her will power, ignoring that loud voice resounding in her mind for the last few minutes.

Megabyte stopped, and Jade nearly ran up the back of him. "Lisa!" he exclaimed, a lopsided grin on his face. "What are you doing here? What a pleasant surprise."

Kevin groaned inwardly. [Acting isn't one of your strong points, Megabyte. It really isn't.] Of course losing the sarcastic tone would have helped.

[Well it's Lisa's fault for ignoring me,] protested the redhead. [Would you prefer I started with 'hi, Lisa, you've been ignoring me telepathically so I've come to see you in person?']

Lisa glared at Megabyte, giving him a look that would have melted the iceberg responsible for sinking the Titanic. "I wouldn't put it past you," she said icily.

"Nice to see you too, Lisa," Megabyte replied, a look of annoyance crossing his features at that last comment.

Jamie looked between the two obviously wondering if he'd missed something. He frowned, a small crease forming across his brow. Poor guy. He didn't know the half of it.

"I thought that comment was totally uncalled for," piped up Jade, coming to Megabyte's defence. "Serves you right for ignoring…"

[Jade…] 'pathed Kevin warningly. He changed the subject hurriedly before Jade said something they wouldn't be able to explain without giving away their 'secret.' "Lisa, this is Jade. She's…" Not a good idea continuing that sentence.

"I'm Megabyte's girlfriend," chimed in Jade sweetly, an evil gleam in her eye. This was obviously Jade's idea of payback for those comments the American had made earlier. Part of Kevin had to smile though. He had to admit, Megabyte deserved it.

"Don't mind Jade," said Megabyte hurriedly. "This is just her idea of a joke."

[Then why are you blushing?] asked Jade, the saccharine tone still in her 'voice'. She glanced innocently around and smiled at Megabyte broadly. "Oh, Megabyte, don't be silly." She lowered her voice as she continued, and fluttered her eyelashes. "It's just that we haven't been together that long… If you know what I mean."

Megabyte shot her a filthy look as his face turned even redder. It was probably lucky for Jade at this point that Tomorrow People couldn't kill. Kevin stifled a grin as he entered the conversation quickly, trying to steer it onto a safer topic before Jade said anything else she would regret later. "Megabyte, Jade, this is Alex and Jamie MacDonald. They're friends of Lisa's."

"Megabyte?" Alex asked, a look of disbelief on his face. "Is that really your name?" Kevin noticed that although the boy had been watching his brother and Lisa closely, he'd kept out of the conversation until now. Even though he'd been concentrating on Ewan while they'd been talking, the concern he'd felt for both of them had been obvious.

"It's what my friends call me." Megabyte spoke quickly, glaring at Jade who sensibly said nothing. Judging from that smug expression on her face she'd already got the reaction from Megabyte she had been after.

Alex nodded, suddenly very quiet in comparison to the way he'd been when he and Kevin had first met. Poor guy was obviously wondering what was going on, much the same way his brother was.

"So how do you guys know Lisa?" Jamie asked, shooting a quick glance in her direction. Kevin wondered again what exactly their relationship was. They were more than just friends. That much was becoming clearer with each passing minute.

"I met them a long time ago," said Lisa in way of explanation. "Things happened and we lost touch. I haven't seen them in years."

[You mean you left and didn't bother telling us where you were,] pointed out Megabyte. [Isn't that what you really meant?] At least he had the sense to use telepathy and for that Kevin was glad.

"So this is quite the reunion then." Jamie gestured back towards the carpark, completely oblivious as to the conversation going on around him. "You guys have got to tell us all about it over afternoon tea. Lisa doesn't speak much about her past." He smiled, but Kevin could see an expression of pain cross his face very briefly. He's not happy with Lisa keeping secrets. If only he knew what that secret was. [Poor guy, he hasn't a clue has he?] Oops. He hadn't meant to broadcast that last thought.

[And it's going to stay that way. Promise me that please, guys?] Lisa's telepathic voice sounded desperate, in comparison to the forced smile on her face. She must be desperate if she was resorting to telepathy. [Look, Megabyte, I'm sorry, okay? I was scared after what happened, surely you can see that?]

"Yeah afternoon tea sounds great," Megabyte replied. "I'm never one to turn down free food. Lisa can tell us everything she's been up to." He started to follow Jamie, glancing back at them as he added telepathically, [We were all scared, Lisa, but some of us didn't run away. We've been worried about you. Did you ever stop to think about how we would feel when you disappeared? Adam beat himself up about it for months.]

[Masters threatened my mother, Megabyte. I couldn't run the risk of it happening again.] Lisa sounded defensive, but her reply came out almost sounding rehearsed. Was that what she'd been telling herself all these years? Is that how she'd justified her decision?

Megabyte snorted as he stopped briefly to pick up a stray piece of fern at his feet, throwing it back into the bush. [My dad offered to help. He would have helped you set up a new life. You didn't have to take off and do it on your own.] It was going to take a lot to convince Megabyte, Kevin knew. He'd been hurt by what had happened and true to form had just ignored it, hoping it would go away. The trouble with burying things was that they had a habit of being dug up again when you least expected them.

[Can we continue this later?] Lisa gave Jamie a shaky smile as he waited at the end of the bush track for them to catch up.

"You're very quiet there, Lisa. Is everything okay?" Jamie sounded concerned and again a slight frown crossed his features. He knew something was going on but couldn't work out what, and from what Kevin was picking up from him, it was starting to get to him, though he was trying hard to cover up those feelings. The poor guy didn't realise that the way he was broadcasting those thoughts, the only person who wouldn't be picking up on them would be Alex.

"Yeah, Jamie, I'm fine. It's been a shock seeing Kevin and Megabyte again, that's all." That's all?

Jamie leant and kissed her on the cheek very gently as though to reassure her. "Hey it's okay, I understand. It's not everyday your past catches up with you is it? A hot cup of tea and one of Mum's kiwifruit muffins will make you feel better."

Jade looked up from where she'd been bringing up the rear with Alex and Ewan, quite oblivious as to why both Lisa and Megabyte were reacting the way they were. [Maybe we should meet at the spaceship later and then you can talk to the others too.] Jade knew about Lisa, but only that she'd been one of them and had left without telling them why or where'd she gone. By the time Jade had become a Tomorrow Person, they'd all buried the hurt under layers of pretending it didn't matter and tried to move on.

[Okay,] Lisa sounded hesitant as she glanced at Jamie, obviously trying to gauge his reaction to her excuse. He squeezed her hand, in response to the unsure look she gave him, and Kevin could again feel the concern radiating from the New Zealander, though the annoyance he'd felt earlier was beginning to subside. [Just keep the conversation to everyday things for now. I'll explain everything later if you do, I promise.]

Kevin wanted to believe that, he really did but a part of him knew it wouldn't happen. He knew she would come to the spaceship but he had a feeling that it wasn't going to change what had happened, wasn't going to just magically put things right. Magic was for children, and those who believed that everything always turned out right. He knew from experience that life wasn't like that. At least not his experience of life.

[And if we don't?] As he realised Megabyte's question and the tone in which it was asked weren't going to help Lisa's current state of mind, Kevin felt guilty about his last few thoughts. Maybe they should give Lisa the benefit of the doubt first? At least listen to her explanation.

He gave Megabyte the telepathic equivalent of a sharp kick. [Try and see this from Lisa's point of view. Just concentrate on those muffins Jamie mentioned for now, and you can save the third degree till later. Okay?]

"Did someone mention muffins?" Megabyte asked Jamie brightly as they crossed the carpark heading towards the other main picnic area, his characteristic grin lighting up his face. "Your mom bakes? I think I like her already."

Adam sat back on the beach, feeling the warm sand underneath his bare feet. He looked around for his sweatshirt as he grabbed at a piece of paper flapping around in the mild breeze. "Stay," he told it firmly, holding it with a mild burst of telekinesis, while he leafed through to find the page he wanted in his textbook. Even though Adam was flatting in Sydney, he often came to the island to study in the peace and quiet it offered. He found sitting on the beach watching the waves ebb in and out soothed him and helped his powers of concentration. With Ami shopping with her mum and the others picnicking in New Zealand, he should get quite a bit more study done before it was time to head home. Adam glanced at his watch. Just about time to stop for a cup of tea and take a break, he thought.

He looked up as he heard a familiar popping sound just in time to see three figures materialise in front of him. So much for the study.

"We've found Lisa," said Jade, before he'd even had a chance to ask them why they were back so early.

Lisa? As in their Lisa? As in his Lisa? Was that even possible?

"Lisa?" he asked, wondering if he sounded as shocked as he felt. He still remembered that dead feeling deep inside when he'd gone to Lisa's house in Clearwater all those years ago and found her and her mother gone. It had been yet another thing to add to the steadily growing pile of guilt within him that he pretended to ignore. After all it wasn't the first time in his life that someone close to him, or at least in Lisa's case, someone who could have so easily been closer to him if they'd had the time, had been taken away. Chris had been first... He forced his mind back to the present before those memories even had a chance to surface. No, he wasn't going there. Not now. Not ever. He couldn't afford to. Others depended on him too much for him to give into the self doubt which he hid so well from them.

"Would you believe she's been living in New Zealand all this time?" Jade seemed excited, in contrast to Kevin and Megabyte. Kevin was watching him, Adam noticed, looking for a hint of how he was reacting to the news of Lisa's 'discovery.' Megabyte also seemed to have one eye on him. Was I really that obviously distressed when she disappeared? He wondered.

"In New Zealand?" It made sense he supposed. After all if she'd tried to go somewhere they'd never dream of looking that would be the place to go. Either that or the Australian outback and somehow he couldn't picture her settling there. He knew it was one place he never wanted to go again.

"So I take it you met up with her by accident?" he asked. Stupid question, Adam, of course it would be by accident. Someone didn't go to all that trouble to disappear off the telepathic radar just to turn up again out of the blue years later. Lisa wasn't that careless. When she had decided to go, it had been forever. Adam looked down at the sand, and noticed he been piling the grains into little piles while Jade had been talking. He smoothed them out again, brushing the glistening tiny circles off his hands, and reached for his shoes.

Jade nodded. As she started to tell him all about their afternoon tea with the MacDonalds', Adam looked out to sea, trying to regain some degree of calmness within him. He felt his heart start to beat faster as he thought about seeing her again. What would she be like? Had she changed? What if she just disappeared again? What if….? For some reason watching the waves didn't seem to be helping. In fact the calmness of the ocean seemed to be almost mocking the turmoil he felt inside.

"Adam, are you okay?" Kevin asked, the concern obvious in his voice. "At least the rest of us have had some time to get used to the idea. I knew we shouldn't have hit you with the whole thing at once." He shot Megabyte and Jade an accusing look.

Megabyte shrugged, sounding defensive. "I agreed with you. Jade was the one who opened her mouth, not me." He ruffled her hair and she glared at him. "You okay, Adam?" The redhead echoed Kevin's concern.

Am I that obvious? Adam thought. He checked his mental shields to make sure they were still firmly in place. "I'm fine." He paused. "Is Lisa okay? How did she react when she saw you?" Did she look as though she was pleased to see you? Did she show any sign that she wouldn't take off again? What was to stop her just leaving again? What if by the time he got to her, she'd already gone to ground again? He couldn't get this close to seeing her again, only to have the opportunity slip through his fingers because he'd decided to stay at the island and study.

"You mean apart from the fact she looked as though she'd seen a couple of ghosts?" asked Kevin. "I'm not sure she was very keen on the idea of being reminded about being a Tomorrow Person, Adam. To be honest, she only used telepathy because Megabyte wouldn't shut up."

"Hey!" protested Megabyte. "You used it first." I think you're protesting too much here, Adam thought. What did you say to Lisa exactly? Adam knew how tactful his friend could be at times.

Adam rose to his feet, grabbing his pile of textbooks and the thermos. Someone had to go and talk to her, tell her everything was okay. To catch her before she disappeared again. He had to tell her how much he'd…they'd missed her. "I think I should go and see her," he said. I need to go and see her. I need to make sure she's okay. To see if she's hurting as much as I am.

"She's coming here, Adam. In a couple of hours." He could see Kevin watching closely for his reaction.

"Here?" Adam knew he sounded like an idiot but he didn't care. He felt his spirit soar. Maybe he was going to get a second chance after all. A chance to tell her how he felt, a chance he had passed up on and regretted all those years ago.

"No, the spaceship on the island three miles that way," Megabyte gestured with his hand and grinned. "Of course she's coming here. I guess she couldn't stay away eh?" Even in this kind of situation you still have to try and lighten things with a joke don't you, Megabyte?

Adam tried to ignore the irrational fear growing in his mind. She's managed to stay away for nearly eight years. Maybe she's coming to tell us goodbye forever this time. After all she didn't want to be found last time. Maybe she wants us to pretend this never happened. Maybe she's planning to disappear again. Maybe wasn't good enough, he needed to know for sure.

"Who couldn't stay away?" As Ami bent down to pick up the textbook Adam had dropped off the top of his pile, he realised he hadn't even noticed her arrival, he'd been so wrapped up in his own thoughts and feelings. "What's going on?" she asked, her brown eyes softening as she took in the mixed emotions he knew must be reflected on his face.

"We've found Lisa!" Jade exclaimed. She made it sound so simple. Things like this were never that simple. Adam knew that from experience.

"You guys okay?" Ami looked at again at Adam, and then quickly at the others. It was obvious she was trying to gauge how they were each reacting to the bombshell.

Adam smiled, in spite of the way he was feeling. Trust Ami to instinctively know what their reaction would be to the news. He knew that when she'd broken out, she'd come in on the aftermath of the whole mess of Lisa's disappearance. Ami had sensed that each of them was coping with it in their own way, but hadn't said anything. She'd just been there, and told them how she had plans to stay for the duration however vocal her mother had been at the time about how she wouldn't. Adam remembered that it had helped at the time. It had helped but it hadn't made the hurt go away, nothing could do that.

He gave her a hug, trying to reassure her. "We're fine, Ami. But it looks as though for the first time in years, all the Tomorrow People are going to be together again." We're fine? That's right, Adam, hide behind the small talk and niceties again. You've got really good at that over the years. Why show how you really feel when it's easier to hide? He wasn't fine, and he doubted Megabyte or Kevin were either. Yes all the Tomorrow People were going to be together again. But for how long?
