Ok, just before the disclaimer. What I have to say. A note to "Take Warning". Because I am the way I am, I will let you in on my philosophy on what it is to be a punk and what it is not. Punk is an anti-political idea. When it comes to music, there are different types of punk. I'm not talking about Blink 182 or Avril.. That's just pop with punk influence. Besides that, there is pop punk, hard core punk, I've heard punk rap, punk metal. Emo.... so many different ideas. I mean, look at the queers. They haven't sold out but they sound like "beach boy" punk? Just because it isn't hard core, doesn't mean it's not punk. There is no true punk. It's more then a style or a music. Punk is a feeling. A knowledge.

Besides. I didn't say I was punk. I didn't say Kit or Tia was punk. They are two strange girls that grew up with close friends like Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo. They learned it NYC style. It's about Kit changing her whole world and kind of not knowing where she is going. She uses the music to help her express a feeling or emotion. She cuts to take away the pain. She's depressed. She isn't punk. She's the closest thing there is to it, without actually being it.

Sorry for that rant.

Disclaimer: I do not own any original characters from the show Lizzie McGuire. I do, however, own any other character in here. If you don't know which ones I'm talking about then I suggest you start watching Lizzie McGuire a little more often. This story is rated R for sexual content, violence, adult situations and language. If any of that offends you, I suggest you stop reading now. For the rest of you, this is the sequel to Remember Me.

Additional Disclaimer: This chapter has strong sexual content and drug use. I hadn't planned on using drugs in this story, but it fits the story and strangely helps it along. Look for notes and warnings on this particular drug at the end of the chapter if you are curious about it.

Take It To The Limit
Chapter Five: No One Knows
--------------------------------

It was Saturday, which meant peace to Kit. It meant Tia went home this afternoon. She had really gotten in the way more then Kit would have first thought. Her and Miranda had increasingly gotten closer. So much so that they would carefully steal glances. Find any way to touch each other in simple gesture. All hidden from their friends. Not to mention how impossible it was to find time alone to even talk, let alone do much more. Kit was sick of having Tia around and now she just needed to unwind from it all.

Kit walked up to her room like a zombie. A fix. That's all she needed. Something other then cutting. People noticed that. If she could just disconnect for a little while. She walked over to her CD player and put in a burnt CD. The music rushed over her.

We get some rules to follow
That and this, these and those
No one knows

Closing the blinds to cut off the light, she turned on a black light. Sitting on her bed, she reached under the pillow and pulled out a bottle filled with powder. She unscrewed the lid.

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick in your throat
Taste like gold
Oh what you do to me
No one knows

Kit put a finger in her mouth, wetting it. Carefully she dunked her finger into the powder, making sure all wet spots were saturated with the drug. She sucked the bitter tasting content off her finger and chased it with a full bottle of water.

I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I

Sighing, Kit laid down on her bed and let the drug take over her mind. Disconnecting her and bringing her anxiety to a null.

I journey through the desert
Of the mind with no hope
I follow

Soon, Kit lost feeling in her body. She felt like the only living thing in the world. She knew better, but it was how she felt. She finally felt at peace.

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboat in the sun
And come undone

The warm breath of Dextromethorphan brought her into a soothing first plateau trip. It gripped her, making her vision blur.

Pleasantly caving in
I come undone

The second plateau washed away as quickly as it came, and was replaced well into the third plateau. She was now fully disconnected from the world. She rested in her still shell of a body and sunk into her own twisted fantasies and fears.

I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I

The door opened to reveal Miranda but Kit never even noticed. Miranda walked over to her friend and shook her, as if to wake her. When getting no response, Miranda picked up the bottle beside her friend. She had never heard of it before. Getting up to call Kit's mother in, a hand grabbed her. Kit's hand. "Rainy" she said with no emotion.

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift here below
But no one knows

"You can't tell anyone. I'll be fine. Trust me. Let me show you." Kit once again licked her finger and stuck it into the bottle. She pushed it up to Miranda's mouth. As if mezmerised, Miranda opened her mouth and took Kit's finger in her mouth. Miranda gagged at the taste and gratefully accepted a bottle of water.

The gift you give to me
No one knows *

Miranda laid beside her friend and allowed the drug to take over herself, like it had her friend.

As a new song came on to play, Miranda was well off on her second plateau. After a while, Miranda began to feel something. A reminder that she was still in her body. She couldn't place where it was until she saw a face hover closely to hers. Kit.

Miranda could smell Kit, she was so close. Her scent was earthy, natural and inviting. She moaned without realizing why, at first. Quickly she identified the reason. One of Kit's hands had found her covered breast and was teasing her nipple through the material. Miranda's back arched as she moaned again.

"You okay?" Kit asked softly. Her voice strange to Miranda's ears, but Miranda felt a strange connection to Kit that she never felt with anyone else. It was like her and Kit were the only two existing souls. Miranda couldn't say anything, intoxicated by the first drug she had ever taken, and silenced by Kit's experienced hand, she could only nod.

Kit stopped for a second and carefully made eye contact with Miranda. She tried to ignore the drug in her body to make sure if Miranda really wanted this. "Rainy. I know your body doesn't seem to work well, but I know your mind does. This drug enhances thought and provokes it. If you really want this, tell me." Kit ran a finger, lovingly over Miranda's cheek.

Miranda's only reply was when she reached up and put her arms around Kit, causing Kit's body to press against Miranda. Taking this as a good sign, Kit leaned down and kissed Miranda's exposed collarbone. Miranda tasted like a mixture of soap and strawberries. Kissing a small wet trail up to Miranda's mouth, she was pleasantly surprised when Miranda returned her kiss, hungrily, without hesitation. She smiled against the girl's lips.

Slowly, Kit kissed a trail along Miranda's cheek and softly bit on her ear lobe. She licked the outside of her ear and softly breathed onto her. Miranda shivered and then moaned. Kit shifted so she was laying beside Miranda and kissed her mouth again. Kit's hand rested gently on Miranda's stomach, which had shifted up to leave her stomach bare. As Kit's tongue danced with her new found lovers, Kit ran a circle with her fingertip, around Miranda's belly button. Carefully, her hand snaked under Miranda's shirt and rested against the lacy push up bra that Miranda had been wearing.

Miranda's nipples were taught with her arousal and became almost painfully more so when Kit pinched her nipple. Kit swallowed Miranda's muffled moans, her own heat rising as she expertly pleasured Miranda. Carefully, Kit helped Miranda into a sitting position where she took off Miranda's shirt and unclasped her bra, letting it fall from her. She laid Miranda down again and kissed her deeply. Kit took only a moment to shed her own shirt and bra and then continued to suck on Miranda's neck. Her fingers, deliciously running over Miranda's exposed skin.

Miranda moaned deeply, intoxicated by her lovers touch. She had never felt this way. It was almost like she found a missing piece to the puzzle in her heart. When Miranda felt wet hot kisses over her bare skin, she noticed the heat and wetness between her legs. She felt like she was on fire as Kit's mouth enclosed on one nipple, her fingers pinching and arousing the other nipple. Softly she sucked and licked Miranda's nipple to attention. When she gently bit it, Miranda moaned her first audible phrase, "Oh god."

Smiling, Kit's hand left Miranda's nipple, replacing it with her mouth as she snaked her hand lower on Miranda's body. Carefully, she unclasped Miranda's pants and sat up. Once she had Miranda's pants off, leaving her only in her underwear, Kit took her own skirt off, to reveal no underwear, but instead a crotch less garter belt. Miranda, for the first time looked at Kit's nakedness. She surprised herself when she found that the site of Kit turned her on more. Miranda pulled the girl on top of herself. Pressing bare flesh against bare flesh.

The heat between Kit's legs was unmistakable as it rested against Miranda's leg, wetly. She pulled Kit in for a desperate kiss as she timidly took one of Kit's nipples between two fingers, pinching it delicately. This time it was Kit's turn to moan, as she pressed her heat against Miranda's thigh, causing friction on her sensitive lower regions, instinctively.

When Kit had finally composed herself from the initial touch from her lover, she once again propped herself on her side. Miranda's hand danced over her nipple as Kit ran her hand feverishly down Miranda's stomach to cover her still clothed genitals. Miranda's underwear was soaked and the unmistakable smell of female sex clung to the air. Miranda moaned as she pushed her pelvis up, getting more sensation from Kit's hand.

Miranda and Kit's eyes locked for a brief moment. Their vision was blurred with the help of the DXM and their passion. They still spoke a million words between their eyes. There was no going back, this was it. Although, Miranda would still medically be considered a virgin, she was about to lose her innocence in a way that she could never have it back. And she wanted Kit to take her virginity in this way.

Smiling down at Miranda, she slid down the girls body and between her legs. She locked eyes for one more moment before she lowered her mouth over her still clothed virginity. Kit tasted her lover through the wet material and let the smell of her lovers sex take over her senses. Miranda continuously moaned with no control as Kit's tongue teased her through the thin fabric of her underwear.

After a few moments of agonizing pleasure, Kit gently removed Miranda's underwear. Softly at first, she ran her fingers along Miranda's wetness. As she parted the girl's wetness, she watched Miranda's expression as her finger dipped into unexplored territory. Instinctively, Miranda's hips pushed up to meet Kit's assault, her eyes screwed shut in tremendous bliss. Miranda's mouth hung permanently in a small O. Her chest heaved as she moaned.

Soon, Kit inserted another finger into Miranda and lowered her mouth to the girls swollen clit. She tasted the girls pure wetness for the first time, letting the flavor linger on her tongue before taking the protruding nerve into her mouth and gently sucking. The hand that she wasn't using, going between her own legs to relieve the burning need of touch. Miranda got close to the edge as her hands gripped the bedding. With a shutter and a small scream, Miranda's climax washed over her body. Kit, knowingly, continued for a few seconds until Miranda's body was no longer tense with her orgasm.

Sitting up and licking her lips, she watched the girl's chest rise and fall rapidly, in attempt to slow her heart rate. Kit had always believed that the most rewarding and beautiful moment of intimacy was watching her lover recuperate from a release that she helped induce. Slowly, she crawled up Miranda's body and kissed her passionately. Miranda could taste herself on Kit's tongue, but somehow it seemed natural and almost satisfying to share together her own delight.

The pain between Kit's legs was not receding and she knew that she couldn't ignore it for much longer. As she settled down beside Miranda she was happy when the younger girl shifter to lay her head on Kit's breast, cuddling close to her.

"I don't want to make you feel awkward, Rainy, but if I don't get some release soon then I'm going to be very frustrated. I don't expect you to do anything." Kit told her, kissing Miranda's forehead lightly.

"I wanna watch." Miranda said almost innocently.

Kit smiled as her hand moved slowly down her body. If she was going to put on a show, she better make it good. She tilted her hips up making it easier for Miranda to see between her legs. Quickly she inserted two fingers into herself as her thumb ran expertly over her throbbing clit. She moaned loudly. She had never been so turned on in her life, just knowing that her lover was watching her touch herself. She had done this before, but it seemed so different now.

Kit moaned and arched her back when, to her complete surprise, Miranda took Kit's nipple into her mouth and softly pinched and pleasured the other. Kit's heat began to rise fast. Kit began breathing heavy as one of Miranda's hand nervously traced down Kit's stomach to just below her belly button. Miranda's mouth still attached to a nipple. Kit stopped her ministrations to herself as Miranda's hand slowly but surely replaced her own. Miranda was gentle and teased Kit unknowingly. Kit almost couldn't stand the painful eroticism that was in the innocence of Miranda's touch. A feeling in the pit of her stomach left her completely out of control.

Kit didn't even notice when Miranda stopped pleasuring her nipple and began to watch with both amusement and excitement as she pleasured her. Kit's moans were urgent and emotional as she was brought close to the edge but never over, only to descend back down and brought back up repetitively. With more reassurance of her actions by Kit's reactions, Miranda's hand moved faster and deeper into Kit's sex. With a cry of satisfaction, Kit reached her peak. As soon as her body settled, Miranda withdrew her hand and tentatively tasted the salty mixture on her fingertips. She smiled as Kit fought to control her rapid breathing. Miranda leaned down to retrieve the edge of a sheet and pulled it over the two of them, propping herself up to look down at Kit.

When their eyes met, Kit pulled Miranda into a heated kiss. Still in the grips of the drug, they both settled down into their own thoughts. Holding each other, neither got sleep as the tips of the disassociate once again took over their mind and body. For hours both laid in a comfortable silence as they relived their moment of connection.

*No One Knows by The Queens of the Stone Age

If you don't want to read this... don't. It's there for the curious souls.

Drug information and warning:

Most people have taken extremely low doses of the drug called DXM or Dex. Ever heard of people eating "skittles" (or Coricidin), or drinking cough syrup for a recreational trip? The active ingredient in the cough suppressant is in fact Dextromethorphan. The only problem with these kinds of trips is that there are extremely low percentages of DXM in these products. The products often contain other chemicals that at higher dosages can cause extreme health risks and even death. Although legal, and easy to obtain, taking the wrong amount of these drugs and sometimes the wrong cough suppressant could wind you up in a hospital.

The form used in the story is a pure, lab created, powder form of DXM. It has no other drugs added to it and is possibly the safest form to the drug.

Although not physically addicting, I used to be mentally addicted to the drug. My brother used to deal DXM because it was cheap, legal to own (not legal to sell, distribute or contain in pill form.), and lasts longer then most drugs. On Feb 22nd, I will have been clean from this drug for 6 months.

In the story, the drug hits the girls almost immediately. I have only taken the powder in pill form for it's UNBEARABLY bitter taste, which takes 45 minutes to an hour before you even begin to trip, and another hour before you start to peak on the drug. I have learned from watching others that taking it in direct powder form and not in a capsule, that your trip can start as early as ten minutes with an average of twenty minutes. The trip can last for several hours depending on the dose and can take up to 24 hours to completely ware off.

The following excerpt is taken from the third plateau's DXM FAQ. It describes some qualities of a DXM trip.

"[the trip] depends on how much you take. There are four different kinds of experiences, based on the dosage; these are called plateaus. The first plateau is a mild stimulant effect with a little bit of a buzz, and has been compared to MDA. The second plateau is more intoxicating and has been compared to being drunk and stoned at the same time. The third plateau is dissociative, like a lower dose of ketamine. The fourth plateau is fully dissociative like a higher dose of ketamine."

"You should not attempt higher plateau doses unless you have someone with you who can take care of you in case you get sick or freak out. It happens on DXM. Many things can happen unexpectedly on upper plateaus, such as spontaneous memory recall, complex delusions, hallucinations, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, and perceived contact with spiritual or alien entities. You need to be pretty stable and grounded before you can handle these things."

My description of a DXM trip is this: (idea taken from my brother)

Ever put your TV onto a cartoon (our favorite was spongebob squarepants), put it on mute and then played music? Trying to relate the music to the cartoon is often funny, confusing and disconnected as much as a DXM trip can be. You often think you are the only person, or if you are in a group, only people alive. You know differently, but you obtain an almost Godly and uplifting persona of yourself.

I do NOT recommend the use of this drug at all. It is potentially one of the most dangerous drugs you can do recreationally and they still don't know everything about it. It may be legal and easy to obtain, but it can be LETHAL.

If you do decide to take DXM there are a few more things you should know.

Do research. A lot of research. ( read the complete FAQ before deciding)

Make sure you are in a safe, calm environment where you feel comfortable.

Don't move around a lot when you are tripping. The drug has a numbing affect due to the dissociative quality and you often bang, cut, or bruise yourself easily without even realizing it. I have come out of a trip with huge black and yellow bruises on my legs and arms.

ALWAYS do the drug with at least one sober person around in case anything bad happens.

It's good to trip around someone who knows how the drug affects you until you get more experienced.

Drink a lot of water. Dehydration is a huge problem on DXM.

Make sure you know if it's ok to mix certain drugs with DXM before you do it. Even prescribed medications. Anti depressants should never be taken with DXM. With my experience, *small* amounts of alcohol can be added as well as smoking pot, mainly when you start to come down. Anything else is better researched.

You prolly won't have an appetite for the next few hours while you are tripping so make sure you eat well an hour or two before you take the drug.

Some find it hard to sleep on the drug so figure that into the equation.

You may feel like you will trip forever, but you aren't. It will ware off. Excesive sweating and itchiness is normal. Don't try taking a shower or bath to help you come down. You could hurt yourself.. Trust me, I know first hand. The least harmless thing to do is to try to sleep it off. Make sure someone is checking on you, but I could sleep when I was tripping. Most say they can't. *shrugs*

And remember, start out with small doses. If nothing happens wait at LEAST an hour and a half before you take more. It may take a long time to affect you but better be safe then sorry.

It is recommended to never trip more then once a week. DXM can stay in your body for several days and too much too close can cause an overdose. (hey, I rhymed!)

Another warning is if you take Exctasy. E is sometimes replaced with DXM because it's cheap and has some similar qualities in the feeling. Sounds, colors and actions around you are heightened to an intoxicating level. HOWEVER, many people have died because DXM is not a party drug like E. DXM is safest if you are in a calm controlled environment. If you take DXM instead of E, it could be fatal.

NEVER EVER mix DXM with E. You have a 99% chance of death.

Once again, I do NOT recommend the ingestion of this drug on a recreational level. I also don't want you to take it, unknowing of it's dangers, simply because I said not to. The drug is not best represented in this chapter. That is why I added this large amount of information and warnings.

It is always best to know everything you possibly can about ANY drug BEFORE you take it, if you are in fact going to do so.
