...

"Mystique?" Becky repeated. What kind of a name is that? Where does it come from? Why is it that I have no idea who this is, but the name feels familiar for some reason? She had a lot of questions and would have thought about it more, but she was brought out of her trail of thoughts when Bob left the hall. She heard some noises coming from the kitchen and she assumed that he was looking for something to eat. Typical Bob, she thought to herself.

She headed downstairs to the kitchen to see what he was making. When she got there he had just finished making an enormous sandwich. He looked at her and pointed to the sandwich and asked," Want some?"

"No thanks, you eat it," she said as she gestured him to start eating it without her. She wasn't exactly all that hungry at the moment. She already full of questions, so she followed him to the living room. She sat down with him to watch the news and wait for the Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour show to start. She still loved that show and it still took a lot to make her miss a single show. She watched the news but she wasn't exactly looking at the screen. Instead she was looking off into space. Literally. She was off thinking about Lexicon again. She was thinking about that 'Mystique' person was. She was wondering if she was from Lexicon. What if she was just like her? Would she have the same powers as her, or would they be a little different? Could she fly? Was this maybe the chance to meet someone like herself. Would she be able to explain all of her questions? Would she finally get all he answers she had been waiting for? Would she finally be able to have someone like her, and no longer be the only different person. She shook all the thoughts out of her head when she felt a single tear slide down her cheek. She wouldn't get her hopes up too high, if it meant that they could get crushed. She was suddenly brought back to reality when she felt Bob's furry paw on her shoulder. She turned to face him and saw concern etched into his features.

"Becky, are you alright?" he asked her out of concern for the young girl.

" Of course I am…why would you think that I'm not…that's preposterous…," Becky rambled on and on hoping to assure her friend that she was fine. The only problem was that she was a terrible liar, and Bob, more than anyone... knew that.

That idea being thought he told her, "Becky you don't have to lie to me. There's no one else here so just tell me what on your mind. It looked like a lot from here." he told her.

"Well…I was just wondering if this 'Mystique' person was from Lexicon", she admitted sheepishly, "But that's probably crazy so just forget it," she waved it off.

"Is this all because you feel that you're different than everyone else?" he asked her. He remembered when they 'first met' and she was just starting to get used to her abilities again that she had asked him all the questions she had…..the questions... he had yet to answer... He didn't know if she should be told the truth or if she still shouldn't have a burden like that haunting her. He liked the 2nd option better, and besides if Mystique really was here he would let her handle the questions. He didn't want Becky to know... just yet.

"Bob, you can't get anymore different than being an alien super hero. I don't want to pretend to be normal. I want to be able to have someone talk to someone like me. I want to be able to be able to talk to someone without keeping secrets and without all the lies. I mean I love it here and I love everyone around me but I want to be able to go around without hiding and without secrets. I want to be…normal," Becky told him.

That hit Huggy's guilt right on the spot. He knew that this would happen. In fact, they all knew but no one really thought it through enough. It wasn't her fault all of this happened. She had only been a baby after all. It also wasn't her fault that she wanted a perfectly normal thing. Sadly, he didn't have the power to give her even that. She needed to know all this but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

So all he said was this, "Becky, you don't need to be normal. You have people who love you and care about you very much. Wanting to be normal is perfectly okay, but you have to learn to embrace who you are and look deeper than the outside. Everyone loves you for yourself. They may not necessarily know who you are all the time but they still love you, No one can change what's happened but we all learn from it and surpass one's mistakes as well as ourselves. We can't change who we are, Becky, and we also can't change everything that's happened, like how we got here, but that's not your fault. It's just something you nor, anybody else, can change. You'll understand it all in due time don't worry," he said as he patted her hand." I learned that from a very wise person," he told her remembering what the girl's wise older brother had told him all those years ago.

Becky just stayed there listening to his words. The more she thought about them, the more they made sense. She did have everything and everyone she needed. She just had to look deeper than the outside. She noticed that Bob had gone back to the kitchen, so she just sat down and watched the news.

…...

Now, in another part of the city, a young girl not much older than 16 or 17...

... was strolling casually through the park. She had just left her hotel room and was dressed in a tight black shirt, dark wash jeans, and black ankle boots. These clothes were, to any other person, quite plain with not much design, but to this girl they were far more fancier than any other thing she had ever worn in a long time. She had to get an entirely new attire the minute she arrived since most of her other clothes would have stood out far too much from everything else. She rather liked these clothes which were an interesting change for her. She liked a lot of things from this planet. Everything was so happy and cheerful, a comforting change for her, and some comfort that her burden had well taken care of. She ran a hand through her long auburn hair, which had streaks of red, black, and brown. It fell all the way down her back and shown beautifully in the bright sun. She had decided to let it free instead of the usual bun or ponytail she wore it in to keep it out of the way. This was different for her in everyway. No wonder Rebeckah changed so much.

Rebeckah….how much she's grown over the years. She knew she would change but that didn't make it any less sad or painful. She wished she had been there. So much time has been lost…so many lives as well. She had realized that many Lexiconian lives would be taken. Fear, grew even greater when the one person who had the power to save the remaining lives had no memory of what was or had been. She had no idea of what awaited her back home. Keep her safe…, he had said, Never let anyone hurt her… how was she supposed to do that when she didn't know anything about her. All those years worrying about Rebeckah…wasted…. She had had no idea that all that time she had spent her time worrying about someone who no longer was. Rebeckah knew nothing of Lexicon, her parents, or her…was it better this way? Or was there no avoiding it? She didn't know…

She thought of all the times the little girl had played with her, defined words for her, and rambled on and on about her day, pleading to know what she had done. She had even trained the little girl to fight….after her sister turned on her no one wanted to take any chance. She would zip all over the palace. They would visit her brother while he was 'training' himself. They would sit by the lake and everything was perfect…

That had happen so long ago but she still remembered it like it was yesterday. That made it all the more painful. She had wondered a lot about whether or not the little princess was still inside Becky. She had also vowed to herself that she would find out no matter what. That meant that she had to go meet 'Becky', and she was going to do it now. She decided the sooner she got started the better...

…...

Not more than 20 minutes had passed that Becky heard a knock on the door. Bob was in the kitchen so that meant she would have to get it. She got up and reached out to open the door. She didn't know who to expect. Her family were out 'bargain' hunting again and weren't usually home till the mall closed, so it couldn't be them. It could have been Violet or Scoops or maybe Tobey, but she didn't know. It was even more surprising to see a tall teen. She couldn't be more than 16 or 17. She seemed familiar…but not.

"Uh…may I help you?" Becky said trying to mask her confusion.

"Um…yes, actually I'm looking for someone named Becky Botsford…this is the Botsford residence…right?" the seemingly shy stranger asked.

"Yes, it is the Botsford residence and I'm actually Becky Botsford, how may I help you?" Becky said wondering as to why this girl would be looking for her.

"Well I actually have a few questions for you, so would it be all right if I came in?" the stranger asked her.

"Sure, come right in," Becky said gesturing the girl inside. She knew that if her dad found out she let a complete stranger in she would freak, but something about her made Becky want to trust her.

Becky gestured for the stranger to sit on the couch which she did. She grabbed the remote and turned off the television. She turned back to the girl and offered her something to drink.

"That would be nice, thank you," the girl replied. And so she went about to the kitchen and opened the fridge looking for some water and a soda. She grabbed them and also found some cookies so she grabbed those as well. She turned to see Bob stuffing his face with a COLASSAL bowl of ice cream. He looked at her and the food and drinks and asked her what those were for.

"Leave that here, she said pointing to the ice cream," We have company."

He looked at the ice cream one last time before sighing and following her to the living room. What he saw surprised him to far extent. He would have never guessed that he would see her so soon. What could she possibly want? Why was she here? That was what she wanted to know.

Becky placed the refreshments on the coffee table. The girl gratefully took the bottle of water. That was when she noticed the monkey behind Becky. She couldn't believe it. It was really him. She waved to him and he looked at her he looked confused and happy at the same time and she couldn't help herself, and she ran towards him and hugged him. Afraid that he might disappear if she loosened her grip by even a little. He hugged her back just as much. It was a happy reunion and then the girl remembered why she came here in the first place. She laughed and said," Okay enough of this its time to get back to business," she said getting her game face on.

They turned to Becky who was looking on in confusion," Would someone mind explaining to me what's going on?" she asked them.

"Well, Becky like I said before I have a few questions for you and you'll get your questions answered along the way, don't worry," the girl said with a comforting smile that assured Becky for some reason everything was alright, and that everything was okay.

"So first off, I'm guessing you want to know who I am and why I'm here, right?' the girl asked Becky.

She simply nodded while she continued," Well I don't know if he' s told you or not but my name is Mystique and.."

"Wait you're Mystique? You're the one that put that note in my locker, aren't you?" Becky cut her off as she put everything together.

Mystique sighed and replied," Yes I did, but that was a test."

She looked Becky in the eyes and looked in her eyes as if searching for something, but not finding anything," I thought you would remember me," she said shakily, "I thought you would remember what happened and how you came here," she searched Becky's face again before sighing and choking out the words," But I guess not."

Becky's confusion only grew more when she heard what Mystique said," What do you mean of course I know how I came here," she said," One day when I was a baby, I crawled into the ship of the greatest lexiconian pilot around, Captain Huggy Face. He was taking a test flight and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I startled him and we were hit by an asteroid. He, using his amazing pilot skills, had no choice but to crash land on a distant planet, earth. He wrapped me in my blanket and carried me in his arms. We were found by a young couple, my adoptive parents, and they offered us to stay for their picnic. A while later they adopted me and here I am," Becky said after telling her story.

Mystique looked at her with a weird and confused look and turned to Bob. He shrugged and gave her a sheepish look. She turned back to Becky," I'm sorry to tell you this, Becky, but you should know that your story isn't entirely true…," she said carefully choosing her words.

"What do you mean not entirely true?" Becky asked her looking at Bob while she did so.

"Well you didn't some here on 'accident', it was anything but that….we kinda brought you here….," Mystique said unsure of exactly what to tell her.

Becky processed the word in her mind," So…you two brought me here…no accident…like a certain someone lead me to believe," she said as she shot a hurt and angry look at Bob," What else do you know?" she asked Mystique.

She looked at Becky and was about to tell her everything she knew, but then her expression looked thoughtful. She decided now wasn't the right time," I'm sorry but now isn't a good time," she saw Becky's face fall downcasts and she quickly added," But don't worry I'll be able answer all your questions in due time. But you're not ready yet."

" When will that be?" Becky said crossing her arms. She was slightly irritated. Some random girl shows up at your house telling you that a story you've gone on believing was your past only to find out it was a complete lie, and now she won't tell you what you want to know. What's wrong with that…how about everything….

Mystique looked between her and Bob and finally replied with," Soon, very soon."

She got up headed towards the door, but Becky reached out and grabbed her hand. She turned around, "Yes?" she asked.

Becky thought for a minute before finding questions that would explain how this girl knew about her," Who were you in my life before you brought me here? Were you a part of my past? Are you from my home, Lexicon?" she asked the girl.

" For now just consider me another one of your teachers. I have a lot to teach you," she said while thinking of other answers to give her," Also we were both part of your past," she said referring to herself and Bob," But just remember that some questions you have won't have the best answers you might want, hence the reason you were lead to believe what he told you, so for now just take the answers we give you and don't ask why, you'll understand why later," she said as she turned the knob on the door.

Becky and Bob watched her leave and they said their good byes," Good bye, Mystique," the said together.

She smiled at them and said," Good bye, Bob….Rebeckah…," and with that she was gone.
