I'M BACCCKKKKKKKK! Had some computer trouble and got logged out of all my stuff, including FF, so it took me a while to get my email back. Really, it took me MONTHS to remember the email I used for this account. So sorry for the long wait, but things are coming back, baby! WHOOOOOOOOOO!

Delhi, India. In a car with the Crusaders

"Getting close to Pakistan. It's a little cold since we're in the Himalayas so make sure you don't get sick," Joseph told his crew.

Silver Chariot was currently comforting Polnareff, gently stroking his head as he drove.

"She was a lie! She said she loved me, Chariot! Does love mean nothing in this world anymore?!" Polnareff asked.

"Of course eet does, you just found ze wrahng wahmahn," she said.

She wiped his tears and disappeared as they approached another car in front of them, which was moving oddly slow. "Ugh, this road's so narrow and this car's moving so damn slow! Outta my way!" Polnareff said as he drove up alongisde the car and rammed it out of his way, sending it behind them. "Catharsis never felt so good!"

"Don't drive so recklessly, Polnareff!" Kakyoin chastised. "Have you forgotten that Mr. Joestar is still a wanted man for that doctor? If we get into a car chase by the police now we'll never get past the border. Even so, I'll miss India, as much as an...experience it might have been."

"It seemed dirty at first, but I'll really miss the place," Joseph added.

"I'm coming back," Polnareff said, "to give Abdul a proper burial."

Everyone was silent until the car came to a sudden and hard stop. "Polnareff, what the hell was that?" Joseph asked. "We said no accidents!"

"No, look!" The Frenchman pointed ahead. "Look!"

Standing on the side of the road with her thumb up was a kid with a rucksack, wearing overalls and a flat cap. "Oh, give me a break," Jotaro mumbled.

The girl noticed and took her cap off, her long hair once again flowing down her back to reveal Anne.. "We meet again, boys! Mind giving me a lift?" she asked, putting up a peace sign.

"It has to be fate," Star Platinum said.

"It must be. This cannot be a coincidence," Hierophant Green agreed.

"What are you two talking about?" Jotaro asked, turning to the Stands.

"It's fate. This girl is obviously a part of your destiny!" Star Platinum said.

"Bullshit. She's just annoying."

"I disagree. She likes you quite a lot, Jotaro. I think that there's more to her than meets the eye."

"What are you suggesting? That she's a Stand user?" Jotaro asked.

Anne suddenly clambered into the car, climbing over Joseph and squeezing between him and Jotaro. "Who's the new guy?" Anne asked, pointing to Star Platinum, who's upper half was floating next to Jotaro. The teenager quickly made his Stand go away.

"W-what new guy?" Joseph asked.

Anne did a double-take and blushed. "Sorry, I guess I'm seeing things. It's hot out here!"

"Ignore that!" Kakyoin said. "You said you were gonna meet with your father in Singapore!"

"That was sort of a lie? I'm just a kid who ran away from home, have some mercy why dontcha! Let me travel with y'all again. Here, gramps, you like this stuff, right? I'll give em to ya if you let me travel with y'all." She reached into her rucksack and pulled out a few Polaroid pictures. "I stole these porno photos from India. I know you want them~!"

"Kids aren't supposed to have these!" Joseph said, snatching up a few of the provocative images. "Besides, I'm married!"

"It's too dangerous for kids like you. Don't let her come, Mister Joestar, she'll only slow us down," Polnareff said.

"Whatever, Frenchy. Please?" She asked Joseph again.

"No!" he replied.

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

As they argued Polnareff commented, "She might actually be a Stand user, if she can steal those things that easily!"

"Everyone, shut the fuck up!" Jotaro shouted, causing everyone to cease their talking.

'What a hunk! I'm going crazy~!' Anne thought, her cheeks turning red.

'We need to work on your social skills, Jotaro,' Star Platinum commented.

'Not. Now.'

"When we get to the border we'll get her a ticket to Hong Kong and some cash," Jotaro said. Everyone agreed, except Anne of course.

As they drove Anne talked. "You know I'm a girl, and I'm getting older. I need to look good for all the boys soon. Imagine a young woman travelling at that age. Pathetic! I'm taking the chance right now to see the world. Good idea, huh?"

Throughout her rambling, no one listened. Not even the Stands. As Polnareff busily tuned out the kid, he saw something in his rearview mirror. The car that they passed earlier, and it was tailgating them. Polnareff sped up, and so did their pursuer. "First he wants to go slow and NOW he's in a rush?"

"Just let him pass," Joseph said.

Polnareff slowed his car and opened the window, sticking his arm out and waving for their stalker to pass. The silver car quickly passed them, the windows so encrusted with dirt it was difficult to see through them. But now that the car was in front of them, it began to go extremely slowly.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" Polnareff said angrily, balling his hand into a fist.

'Be careful,' Hermit Purple said to everyone in their minds. 'I can sense it...a Stand user's nearby!'

"Could you see the driver?" Jotaro asked cautiously.

"No, the window was way too dirty," Polnareff asked.

"W-why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden?!" Anne asked, looking around at their concerned faces. "Guys?!"

The driver's window opened, and a man's arm came out and waved them them to pass.

"This is totally a trap," Kakyoin commented.

"Well, we can either stay behind him and wait for him to attack or go ahead of him and have a greater chance of escape. I choose the latter," Joseph said, and with that Polnareff quickly accelerated.

The very moment they passed their adversary, a massive blue semi-truck came rushing at them. For a few seconds, all was silent. Then what sounded like a shotgun rang out as the semi collided with their vehicle, killing the Crusaders instantly.

Or, it would have, had Star Platinum not stopped the truck with his hands and/or fists. Both vehicles' windows were blown out as the Crusaders' car was launched into the air.

"Everyone, brace!" Jotaro said as the car began to reach the zenith of its launch, beginning to drop back due to gravity's merciless force. The car landed at an angle, but thankfully managed to balance itself back on its tires. When it was all said and done, Anne was holding onto Joseph's shirt tightly, staring at Jotaro with big, scared eyes.

"W-w-w-what the hell is that?! Don't tell me I'm the only one that saw that!" Anne said, looking at the rest of them. "You all saw the ghost punch the truck, right?!"

"Oh, shit," Jotaro said, his suspicions confirmed.

"She's a Stand user! That must be what Hermit Purple was sensing!" Joseph said, breathing a sigh of relief. "That guy in the car must have been playing some kind of sick joke on us. That's what happens when you mess with locals, Polnareff!"

Hierophant Green came out of Kakyoin and went to the front of the car, inspecting under the hood. "Car is fully operational," he reported, disappearing inside Kakyoin.

Anne swallowed and stuttered, finding her mouth completely dry as she tried to explain the tentacle man she just saw.

"We'll explain on the way. We'll just need to make our way to the border way more carefully. If that car shows up again, we'll get our answer if he's a Stand user or not," Joseph said, looking down at Anne. "Alright, girlie. We've got some explaining to do..."
