Another update is up, thanks for reading and the feedback!

Robin blinked as if she were totally unaware that she had just been used as a conduit to the spirit world. Alexis just looked at her in total shock because the voice that had spewed out of her mouth sounded like…no it couldn't be…her father Mikos, probably the most insane branch of the entire Cassadine tree.

And that was no small feat.

Every male member of that royal family had been a ticking time bomb when it came to rational thinking, the female members had merely been homicidal. Obviously, she, Alexis, hadn't been the exception to that rule even though in her case, every killing that she remembered having committed had been so totally justified. That had to be the latest killing she had been charged with and now was facing at trial. There was no doubt in her mind that she would be exonerated as she had been of her previous murders and faking insanity in this case would be so unnecessary.

But she had shed the hated persona of Natasha years ago…buried it so deeply beneath her intellect, her hubris and her neuroses, so deeply that no one not even that kindly shrink from years ago could find it. Only Luke Spencer used that moniker as a term of endearment and several times…she had itched to slice into his jugular with the stiletto knife she always carried in her clutch purse…but engaging in breathing exercises, two seconds of inhalation, double that out had pushed those murderous tendencies away.

Robin smiled at her looking more than a bit befuddled.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Alexis shook her head and pasted a smile on her face.

"No…no…I was just lost in my own thoughts," she said, "You know I was so sorry to hear about you and Patrick…what a scoundrel…but once a ladies' man always one, so they say…"

Robin looked even more confused.

"Alexis…Patrick and I are doing just fine," she said, "I have forgiven him for the lapse he had with Lisa…and Zoe and Monica…he can't help who he is and I love him for it."

Alexis furrowed her brow, why was the woman standing in front of her who was one of the most dedicated and skillful surgeons that ever saved her life proving to be such a doormat when it came to allowing men like Patrick to stomp on her heart? And Lisa had gone homicidal when Patrick remembered being a married man and a father putting Robin in horrible danger…oh these young people…she and Liz who had…sniff…children by different men…what was PC coming to these days?

Yes, she had children by two different men but at least they were brothers and it's not like she had any action in between them. The younger women in this town could learn by her example of how proper women behaved.

Alexis shook her head.

"Have you noticed anything strange about your voice lately?"

Robin frowned and put her hand on her chest.

"My voice…what's wrong with it," she said, "Why does everyone keep saying that?"

Alexis's heart skipped a beat, had Robin always been a channel for evil spirits like that of Mikos?

"You mean it's happened before?"

"What…that I sound like a little girl?"

Relief filled Alexis because despite all her problems which didn't give her much time to think outside of herself, she kind of liked Robin.

"No…it's just that for a moment there, I thought you sounded like my father…but he's been dead for years."

Robin nodded.

"Ah yes, I heard he froze this whole entire town…of all the places he could have froze…big cities in the world, he had to terrorize our little community."

Yeah, Alexis thought that had been a trifle bit unfair but she had been away in boarding school when that had happened getting impregnated and having a daughter which she apparently forgot about so how could she possibly remember about a tiny town getting put on ice?

Suddenly Robin looked sad.

"I must go…Patrick is waiting…."

Alexis watched the young woman go and thought someone really needs to put some backbone under her Christmas tree instead of the usual trivial gifts. But how could Mikos had crossed from the brimstone of Hell and use this gentle young woman as a vessel to communicate with the daughter he never knew?

Alexis had to sit still for a little while to figure that one out.

Lulu still wearing her poodle skirt walked up to kiss her honey, Johnny Wonderful after she reached his apartment. His shirt was unkempt and a couple buttons were missing when he greeted at the door after she rung the bell…like three times. But maybe he had a surprise for her, something wonderful more so than the ticket to paradise, and had to hide it away before opening the door. Yes, that had to be it and she waited giddy with anticipation.

But what had greeted her had seriously made her wonder.

She sniffed her nose and looked at him oddly.

"That's not your cologne Johnny."

He straightened his shirt and smiled back at her.

"Yes it is, you bought it for me yourself," he said, "Don't you remember?"

Yeah, maybe she did, her memory for details was a bit fuzzy these days and then she smiled happily because of course she had bought him that cologne for what…well she couldn't remember very much but that had to be right. Then she noticed something…

"That's not my shade of lipstick either," she said, "I wear bubblegum pink and that's one of those naughty colors."

He chuckled.

"Baby, you're seeing things," he said, "Your memory must be playing tricks on you."

She started to say something then stopped.

"Oh yeah, I think you're right….Oh Johnny Wonderful what would I do without you?"

He embraced her while she ran her hands through his luscious locks of hair.

"Oh baby, I hope you don't have to find out," he said, "because we are so good together."

She nestled closer to the man of her dreams and then her eyes caught some movement by the door and she saw it close abruptly. She pulled away from him quickly.

"Johnny what was that?"

"What was what?"

She pointed to the bedroom door.

"That…that…there's someone in there," she said, "I thought you decided not to get a roommate."

He plastered an innocent expression on his face, the kind that made the women around him sigh longingly. But Lulu considered herself a smart cookie, even though her parents had ignored her while she grew up focusing more of their attention on the boy child. So she marched over to the door and flung it open and there…there…she saw Liz dressed up in a French maid's costume.

"Hi Lulu, long time no see," Liz said, cheerfully.

Lulu's mouth hung open. Since when did Johnny hire a maid to clean his apartment and why had he hired Elizabeth who as far as she knew didn't even do her own cleaning.

"Liz…you can go now," Johnny said, "The bedroom…looks like it's never been slept in…"

Liz beamed and then reached for a coat to wrap around her outfit, which hung off of her. Maybe Liz had to moonlight as a house cleaner because she didn't make enough working at GH to feed herself. Yes, that had to be it because nothing else made sense, how kind Johnny had been to give her the job, even though there hadn't been much cleaning to do since she usually took care of it.

Liz picked up her bag and with a smile took off to give them leave and when she did, Lulu just beamed at her boyfriend thinking what a kind soul he had been to help another person in need.

So much cruelty in the world including in PC but she had somehow managed to land herself a real prince of a boyfriend.
