After Ray left the room I was stumped on what to do. I was a detective; and he was a man that was always in trouble with someone. It was arrogant for him to even tell me to look past our differances. While I was thinking about this I was looking around the room. On the desk I saw a postcard that read;
Quote:
Lil, you forgot your ID.
- Xander
PS: You can find me in the Pool Room.
I rummaged through my coat pockets and sure enough could not find my ID. "Shit." I thought to myself. I would have to go to the Pool Room and retrieve it. Deep down something told me that this could be another part of the revelation. I shook off that feeling, left the room, and walked to the pool room. Slowly I opened the door; and was immediately hit with a rush of hot air. Standing on top of the water of the pool was Xander. Except now he was wearing a crimson red robe, and pouring two vessels into the pool. One of fire, and one of water. The water and fire were mixing, and neither damaging the other. The image was much to bright to look at, and so I turned my attention away.
Then I noticed Ray on the right side of the pool. Confused I looked at him and Xander, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Do not be afraid! I am meerly doing something that can be done when you can accept it."
"Accept what? You're mixing fire and water! That's impossible!" I yelled, because the roar of fire was great.
"I am mixing the fire and water quite well. All opposites can learn to live in perfect harmony with one another. The only thing you must do is to accept this." Xander shouted.
I looked at Ray, and realized suddenly what was going on. Xander was attempting to bring Ray and I together. I shook my head. I was a law abiding citizen, and Ray was always having brushes with the law. We were just too differant to ever be together, and to ever raise a child. I looked at Ray who looked crestfallen. Suddenly my stomach started to hurt and I clutched it. Falling on my knees I beared the pain. Not allowing myself to cry.
Xander looked at me, and said. "You know how to fix a part of this. Learn to accept that opposites can mix."
"But I need to find out why I did this!" I yelled out.
"Always the sign of one seeking the truth." Xander yelled. Then suddenly he disappeared into a thick mist. Ray simply looked at me and then left the pool. I followed suit, but he was now gone.
An ending is coming!
Be not afraid!!
I walked around the hallways of the room, when I noticed Rebecca. I walked up to her. She looked at me and said "Come with me Lilly." In a trance I followed her up some stairs, more stairs and finally the roof. Rebecca then pulled out some sort of rock lifted it in the air, and then shouted.
"I AM THE HAPPY SHINY CANDY!!"
I rolled my eyes, but suddenly a huge shadow loomed over us. I looked up to see a UFO. Yes, a real live UFO. Before I could even think, a pair of mechanical arms grabbed me and pulled me into the ship.
"Finally! A fourth person! Now we can really play Twister!" A man in a grey shirt and blonde hair shouted.
"Ugh, I hate Twister!" that voice belonged to Heather.
"There will be no playing of Twister!" A booming voice said. Everyone looked to see a typical greyish alien speaking. It then continued speaking, "Lillian Rush; because of your incredible style you shall reign as the fashion and hair stylist for our Lord!"
I slumped to my knees, and groaned. I had been summoned to a town, told I had an abortion, and now I was being abducted by aliens so I could be a hair stylist? Bitterly I wept. Heather walked up to me placed an arm around me and said "It isn't so bad. And if we get bored we can always...you know." She smiled coyly at me.
I slunk to a couch and pouted.
