In the royal garden, Prince Ben was taking a much needed break from his royal duties. As his best friend and most trusted advisor, it was obvious that Sir Dexter was to watch over him, so here they were, in the gardens with Prince Ben sparring against his personal martial arts trainer, Sensei Jack, while Dexter sat and watched it, lost within his own thoughts.

'Those two women, who are they? It has been days since then and they have yet to awaken!' Dexter thought. It was true, it had been a while since they'd brought the pair home from the woods. They hadn't moved much, and even then it was mainly due to nightmares, in which they would mumble about wars and the occasional 'Don't go!'. It was starting to worry Dexter a little, though he would not admit to such.

Benjamin himself thought along the same lines as his best friend. 'Who are they exactly? Where did they come from?' The prince shook his head. 'Why am i even thinking of such things? I have other things to worry about than a pair of girls from the sky!'

"Focus, Prince Ben!" Sensei Jack cried, catching his pupil off guard by swishing his kendo stick underneath his legs, effectively knocking the young man off his feet. All thoughts of the two girls were knocked out of him for the moment, as embarrasment started to set in. The prince directed his gaze to the ground and sighed. "I apologize, Sensei. I've had alot to think about lately." The samurai extended a hand to help Ben up again. "To battle, one must have a clear mind." The prince took his hand and he was hoisted to his feet. "What is it that is troubling you, young prince?" Inquired the elder man. The prince avoided his sensei's stern gaze as he mumbled; "I am aware of that..." Jack squeezed Ben's hand reassuringly. "Tell me."

As Ben tried to avoid telling his sensei of his thoughts and Dexter was lost in speculations about why the girls seemed so familiar to him, nobody noticed the girls in question sneaking their way into the garden, hiding behind bushes and trees as they went. The sight of colorful flowers, beautifully cut bushes and trees bearing all sorts of ripe fruits amazed the two Agents, who realised just how much they'd missed the old nature, green and beautiful as it had once been. As their eyes swooped over the beautiful scenery, Weirdo's eyes caught sight of a familiar mass of flaming orange hair that made her heart miss a beat. "Dexter?" She whispered. And then she shook her head. She was being foolish. It couldn't be him. The Dexter she'd known had died 2 years ago.

The samurai stood with a hand on his pupil's shoulder. "Your Highness, you may not want to tell me but i advise you to tell someone about what is troubling you. A distracted warrior is a dead warrior." Ben shook off the elder's hand, shaking his head. "It's nothing! I am just worried for the safety of my kingdom, that is all." He lied. His sensei knew that too. " You're not a very good liar, my Lord." He said with a chuckle. "You still have those tics." And with that, Sensei Jack took the kendo sticks and left.

"I guess we'll find out whether or not we're in enemy country a bit sooner than i thought." Weirdo whispered. She looked at Miyuki, who shrugged. "Follow me." The two sneaked closer to the red-head, hiding in a bush right behind him. Said red-head was looking up at the blue sky above him, sighing. This was all too peculiar for his taste. At the sound of Jack's retreat, he looked back down, seeing his best friend pouting. "Lost again?" Dexter tried to tease him, but he was too pertubed to make any real attempt at it.

The sound of that wellknown accent made Weirdo's heart skip yet another beat. It just couldn't be...

Ben groaned. "Yes! I just..." He sighed. "I don't know what to do..."

Miyuki stilled a gasp, staring at the young man who's appearance brought more than a few memories forward. She could recognise that voice anywhere.

Sir Dexter walked closer to his friend. "Me too. Those two..." He clasped his hands, clad in purple leather gloves, behind his back, a very familiar action from his side. "The two girls are troubling me as well. There's something about them, something disturbingly familiar." Ben nodded solemnly in agreement.

Miyuki and Weirdo shared a look. Ben and Dexter were supposed to have died, they witnessed it with their very own eyes. This couldn't be happening. That couldn't be them. They were dead!

"But where does the familiarity stem from? Presuming that we've never met them before, how come we both feel like this?" Dexter had by now taken to pacing back and forth in front of Ben, who wore a contemplative look himself. "Maybe we've seen them somewhere in our past?" Ben wondered aloud. "Or maybe... maybe God has sent us a sign? But in that case what could that sign be..."

The girls watched their pondering, both having trouble believing what they were seeing (and hearing). "Miyu... i don't think it's them... it can't be. It must be some sort of trick. To get us to lower our guards and then BAM!" Miyuki's eyes widened. "That might be true." She whispered. "We should get out of here." The two girls agreed and started moving towards the nearest exit.

"YOUR HIGHNESS! YOUR HIGHNESS!" A guard ran in, out of breath and on high alert. "The girls from the- wheeze- sky is – pant- GONE!"

The girls froze, hidden within some thick foilage a few meters away. "Busted." They picked up their pace, sneaking away from the gardens as quickly as they could.
