I Don't Exist
By
Angel Raye and Wonderful Miracle
"So are you doing anything tonight," Daisy asked Maggie as they arrived at the palace.
"My mom is taking tonight off," Maggie replied. "I am so excited."
"Cool," Daisy replied. "Even though your mother is away a lot she still loves you."
"Unlike poor Liz," Maggie gave a loud thinking of the child her parents had in the reality where she did not exist.
"Mom," Maggie squealed when Setsuna came in. She gave Setsuna a huge hug.
"Hi Sweetie," Setsuna returned the hug.
"I am so glad you are here," Maggie kept a grip on her mother.
"Well I am here and we are going to have a wonderful evening," Setsuna replied.
"I'll go and finish my homework," Maggie happily skipped to her room. She sat down but then she felt a wave of dizziness. "Mom," she whispered before she blacked out.
"Where am I?" Maggie questioned as she awoke from the blackness
"Hello there who are you?" a timid voice came from behind a corner
"I'm Maggie and I seem to be lost can you tell me where I am?" Maggie questioned looking around
"I'm Liz and you are inside the palace of Queen Serenity" Liz said coming from behind her hiding place
"Really!" Maggie exclaimed scared of what she remembered
"Yes but I think I need to take you to see Aunt Amy" Liz stated as she started off towards another part of the palace
"Wait for me" Maggie called after her
"Well who is your friend Liz" Amy questioned as Liz came into her office
"She seems to be lost and I thought maybe you could help her" Liz replied as she left Maggie alone with Amy
"Well dear want to tell me about yourself" Amy smiled as she sat down before Maggie
"I'm Maggie and I think I was sent here from another dimension. My parents are Gary and Setsuna in my time" Maggie sighed watching Amy's reaction
"This can't be Maggie because that girl that brought you in here is their daughter" Amy cried worriedly
"Why don't you run a test and see then" Maggie commented
"Okay I can do that" Amy sighed
"WHAT is it now?" Setsuna shouted angrily as she walked into Amy's office thirty minutes later.
"I need to introduce you to someone," Amy replied. She led Setsuna to Maggie. "This is Maggie. She is from another dimension."
"So what has that got to do with me," Setsuna asked.
"Her DNA matches yours and Gary's," Amy explained. "She is your child in another dimension."
"Impossible," Setsuna exclaimed.
"It's true," Maggie choked as a tear ran down her face.
"So what are we going to do with her," asked Setsuna.
"She is going to have to stay here until we figure out a way to send her back," Amy replied.
"I am at the Gates of Time," Setsuna glowered. "I can't look after her."
Amy sighed. She knew Gary had his hands full with Liz who was as angry as her mother was right now. Amy turned to Maggie. "Would you like to stay with me," she asked.
"Well I was thinking maybe Lita and Ken would let me stay with them," Maggie replied. "Lita is like another mom to me in my reality."
"Lita has her hands full with Daisy," Amy replied.
"That's right," Maggie murmured to herself. "All right," she agreed.
"I have got to get back to my post," Setsuna grumbled as she left. Maggie felt tears roll down her face.
"Hi mommy who is that?" Ariel questioned as she snuggled in her mom's arms
"This is Maggie and she will be staying with us for a little while" Amy said as she showed Maggie where she would be staying
"That's cool since I've always wanted a sister" Ariel exclaimed excitedly
"You're nice Ariel and I'm glad that I can stay with you" Maggie said as she looked around the room
"I know it probably isn't what you are used to but hopefully you will find it comfortable" Amy noted
"I will and thank you" Maggie replied
"May I go see Daisy?" Maggie asked later that afternoon
"You may but remember that she has been in a lot of trouble lately" Amy reminded her of their talk earlier
"I will be good" Maggie replied as she walked out the door
"Hi you must be Maggie" Lita greeted her as she opened the door
"Yes I am and I was wondering if I might speak to Daisy" Maggie said entering the room
"I will get her please wait here" Lita indicated the couch as she went to the other room
"So you are the new girl" Daisy snapped as she sat across from Maggie
"Yes but you seem so different from the Daisy I know" Maggie sighed
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but this is how I am" Daisy grumbled
"I know but I just wanted to see for myself," Maggie said getting up to leave
"I'm sorry if I seem rude I'm just not in a good mood today, why don't you stop by again and maybe we could talk" Daisy offered
"I would like that" Maggie agreed as she rushed off toward Amy's quarters.
On her way back to Amy's quarters Maggie ran into Liz. "Is it true," asked Liz.
"Is what true," asked Maggie.
"Are you really my parents' daughter in another reality," Liz asked.
"Yes I am," Maggie replied.
"I guess that kind of makes us sisters," Liz concluded. "I'm nine. How old are you?"
"Ten," Maggie answered. She looked closely at Liz. The girl had her mother's purple eyes but her father's blonde hair. She was very pretty.
"You look exactly like Mommy," Liz whispered. "What is she like over in your reality?"
"She is a wonderful mother," Maggie replied. "She spends a lot of time at the Gates of Time but I always get to come and see her. She also takes a lot of time off to be with me."
"You can go to the Gates of Time whenever you want," asked Liz in disbelief. "I'm not allowed near there. Mommy hates me."
"She does not," Maggie protested. "I can't imagine any mother not loving her own child."
"Well mine does," Liz stated with a pout. "She never comes and sees me."
"I'm sorry," Maggie tried to comfort Liz.
"It's okay," Liz sighed. "My dad at least loves me." She walked off leaving Maggie with a sad look on her face.
"Halt! Who goes there" Setsuna demanded from somewhere in the mist
"It's just me Maggie" Maggie shouted back timidly
"Why are you here?" Setsuna grumbled as she approached the girl
"I came here to speak with you about Liz" Maggie stated
"You have no business speaking to me about my child or anything else" Setsuna snapped
"I'm sorry you feel that way because my mother in my time loved me and cared about me very much" Maggie cried
"That Setsuna is a very different person from me and I have no time for nonsense like this" Setsuna said as she started walking off
"Do you even care about Liz" Maggie demanded as she caught up with Setsuna
"I don't even know what I feel for her at this moment to be honest" Setsuna sighed shaking her head
"You need to make up your mind because that little girl loves you even though she says she doesn't care" Maggie told her
"Gary is a wonderful father to her and I just can't stand to watch her go through what I did" Setsuna mumbled
"I know it's hard but at least think about showing her you care" Maggie pleaded as she walked back toward the exit
"I can't promise you anything except that I will take this all under consideration" Setsuna explained as Maggie disappeared back into the palace.
The next day on the way school Maggie was surprised that Daisy was not with them.
"Where's Daisy," she asked the others.
"She got kicked out for fighting," Annika explained.
"So she is now going to a school for children with behavior problems," Ariel added. Maggie shuddered. She remembered what she saw when she visited here last time.
"I have to go to her," Maggie told herself.
After school Maggie took the bus to the school where Daisy was. When she got there she saw children out in the playground. Daisy was being pinned down by a couple of girls who much bigger than she was. "Daisy," she screamed and she ran over to her.
"Who are you," snarled one of the girls.
"Leave her alone," Maggie shouted.
"Mind your own business," snapped the other girl. "We need to show the new girl her place."
"Stay out of this Maggie," Daisy ordered.
"No," Maggie shouted in fury. She lunged at one of the girls only to get grabbed from behind.
"Now we have to teach two girls a lesson," laughed one of the girls.
The next thing Maggie remembered was getting punched in the face.
"Ouch," moaned Maggie as Amy applied the ice pack to her face. Maggie was lying on the bed with her head on Amy's lap. Lita had come to pick Daisy up and found both girls had been beaten up pretty badly. She whisked them back to the palace and straight to Amy's office. Daisy was treated for her injuries and was taken by her mother back to her quarters. Now Amy was taking care of Maggie.
"Why did you go out there," asked Amy.
"Because in my reality Daisy is my best friend," Maggie replied. "She doesn't belong there."
"I know but no other school will take her," Amy sighed.
"Well how about home schooling her," asked Maggie.
"That's a good idea," Amy said thoughtfully. "I'll run that by Lita."
"Hello Liz" Maggie called out the next day
"Hi Maggie where are you headed?" Liz asked
"I was going by to see your dad is he home?" Maggie questioned
"I think so and I'll accompany you" Liz replied walking with Maggie back to her quarters
"Gary I'm sorry but I just can't" Setsuna was heard saying as Liz and Maggie entered
"Setsuna you need to think about Liz to" Gary stated
"I am thinking about.... Hello Liz" Setsuna cut herself short as she saw them standing in the doorway
"Hello Mother what are you doing here" Liz demanded
"I came by to talk to your father about something" Setsuna replied
"She was going to invite you to come visit her at the Gates of Time but I explained that you hated that place" Gary told her
"I do mom why can't you come visit me here" Liz whined
"I have an idea for a compromise" Maggie broke into their conversation
"Okay let's hear it" Gary said annoyed
"Why don't Liz visit the Gates of Time at least once and Ms Setsuna you could come spend a little bit of time with her in exchange" Maggie offered
"I don't know Maggie that place is so scary" Liz sighed
"I would go with you on your first visit" Maggie commented
"What do you think Setsuna?" Gary inquired
"I might be willing to do that IF she is willing to visit me first" Setsuna snapped
"I would be happy to visit you mom if Maggie could come with me" Liz told her
"I don't see why not" Setsuna sighed in defeat
"Great we'll come by tomorrow afternoon after school" Maggie suggested
"That's fine with me since I have knight practice" Gary said
"Okay then it's settled and I will see you both tomorrow" Setsuna replied as she disappeared
"Thank you daddy for understanding" Liz said giving Gary a hug
"You should be thanking your friend Maggie because it was her idea" Gary noted
"I just thought a compromise might be the best thing," Maggie said
"Well we will see" Liz stated worriedly.
Later on Maggie decided to see how Daisy was doing. She went to Lita's quarters. Lita let her in.
"How is Daisy," Maggie asked with concern.
"She is a little sore but okay," Lita replied. "I am not sending her back there. I fear for her safety. Amy said you suggested home schooling. I am going to do that. Amy is also going to talk with her on a daily basis to help her control her fighting."
"I am so glad," Maggie heaved a breath of relief.
"Hi Maggie," Daisy came into the room. She wrapped her arms around Lita's waist. Maggie noticed that she had a shiner on her eye and a split lip from the fight.
"I just wanted to see you," Maggie told her.
"Mom can she stay for a while," asked Daisy.
"Of course," Lita replied as she kissed Daisy. "Have some fun."
"Why did you come and help me," asked Daisy as she led Maggie into her room.
"In my reality you are my best friend," Maggie told her. "I was worried about you."
"Best friend," Daisy mused. "Must be nice to have one."
"Why don't you make friends with Liz," suggested Maggie.
"I'll think about it," Daisy replied as she pulled a game out for them to play.
"I'm off to the gates of time" Maggie called out the next day as she finished putting away her schoolbooks
"Does Setsuna know you are coming?" Amy questioned
"Yes ma'am" Maggie replied as she raced out the door
"Ready to go Liz?" Maggie asked as she watched Liz fiddle with her hair
"Are you sure I look alright?" Liz questioned worriedly
"You look fine and I'm sure she will be happy to see you" Maggie commented as she dragged Liz out the door
"I see you both kept your promise" Setsuna stated
"Of course we did because I think Liz should get used to this place" Maggie replied as she held Liz's hand
"Mom can I at least ask you something?" Liz asked quietly
"Sure I guess so" Setsuna shrugged
"Did you ever find this place lonely?" Liz said
"Yes I have always found it lonely" Setsuna snapped
"I can see why but I think if I try I can get over my fear and come visit you once in a while and maybe that won't make it so lonely for you" Liz offered
"That might be nice" Setsuna sighed
"I'm gonna show her around if that's okay" Maggie stated
"Sure just be careful" Setsuna reminded them
"This is the big door that allows only certain people to travel back and forth between times," Maggie said showing Liz around
"Wow! It's rather big" Liz exclaimed
"Yes it has to be for more than one or two people to fit through it" Maggie told her
"I guess Mom knows when anyone enters or exits through here then" Liz said
"Of course she does and let me show you something" Maggie said as she grabbed Liz's hand again and ran further back in the mist
"What is this place?" Liz questioned in awe
"This is a special library of time that has been her for centuries" Maggie replied
"Wow it is really huge have you ever looked through here?" Liz asked
"I have on a couple of occasions when I was bored while Mom was doing something else" Maggie stated
"I might learn to like this place after all" Liz sighed
"That is good and hopefully Mom will come to visit tomorrow and the relationship between you two can begin to grow again" Maggie said
"I hope you are right" Liz sighed again as they headed back.
"It's time to go child," Piper stepped forward.
"Did you bring me here so I could help change things," asked Maggie.
"Yes and it is now time to go home," Piper replied.
"Will everyone be okay here," asked Maggie. "How will Daisy be?"
"She will be home schooled and Amy will work with her on controlling her temper," Piper assured her.
"What about Liz and Mom," Maggie inquired next.
"It will be a slow process but they will build a relationship," Piper replied. "Are you ready to go?"
"I would like to say goodbye to everyone first," Maggie said.
"Go right ahead," Piper told her.
"Do you really have to leave," Daisy wailed.
"I do," Maggie replied. "I did not want to leave without saying goodbye first."
"I will miss you," Daisy cried as she hugged Maggie.
"I'll miss you too," Maggie hugged Daisy back.
Lita stepped forward. "Thank you for what you have done," she told Maggie as she gave her a hug.
"I was glad to help," Maggie hugged Lita.
"Take care," Lita said as she put her arms around Daisy.
Maggie waved good bye and left.
"Thank you for letting me stay with you," Maggie hugged Amy.
"It was nice having you," Amy replied. "Ariel enjoyed having you too. You were really good with her."
"I help take care of her sometimes at home too," Maggie giggled. "She's a sweetie."
"She is," laughed Amy. She gave Maggie a hug. "Take care of yourself. You are a wonderful young lady."
"Bye Amy," Maggie hugged her back.
Maggie timidly entered the Gates of Time. Pluto was standing at her post. "You came back," she commented.
"I just wanted to come and say goodbye," Maggie told her. "I am going back to my reality."
"I am sorry to see you go but thank you for bringing Liz here," Pluto sighed. "I have realized how cold I have been to her. Hopefully we can start over."
"I know for a fact that you can be a great mom," Maggie told her.
"I am glad to hear it," Pluto pecked a kiss on Maggie's head. "Take care."
"Just one more goodbye," Maggie thought as she left.
"I wish you could stay," Liz cried as she flung her arms around Maggie. "We could be sisters."
"We are in a way," laughed Maggie. "But I really need to get home."
"I know," Liz sighed. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too," Maggie replied. "But hopefully you and your mom will grow close."
"Hopefully," Liz said wistfully as Maggie left.
"MAGGIE" Daisy screamed as she entered her room to find her lying on the floor
"Daisy?" Maggie questioned as she started to sit up
"No! Don't get up let me get your mom" Daisy exclaimed as she ran out of the room
"Maggie what's wrong" Setsuna asked worriedly as she sat down beside her daughter
"I must have blacked out because I ended up back in that other dimension where I never existed and I ended up helping people" Maggie cried as she felt her mother's arms wrap around her tightly
"Oh sweetie I am just glad that you are okay" Setsuna sighed as she hugged her close
"What is Daisy doing here?" Maggie wondered aloud
"I came over here to visit for a few and when I found you lying on the floor it scared me to death" Daisy whispered
"Daisy I promise I am alright and I'm glad you came over" Maggie said reaching out to her friend
"I'm going to leave you two alone while I whip us up some dinner" Setsuna commented as she left the room
"I am so glad that you are not like the Daisy of that time" Maggie told her
"I promise to never change" Daisy said as she hugged Maggie
"Best friends forever" Maggie said
"Best friends forever" Daisy replied

Amy sighed. She knew Gary had his hands full with Liz who was as angry as her mother was right now. Amy turned to Maggie. "Would you like to stay with me," she asked.

"Why did you come and help me," asked Daisy as she led Maggie into her room.

"Wow it is really huge have you ever looked through here?" Liz asked
"I have on a couple of occasions when I was bored while Mom was doing something else" Maggie stated
"I might learn to like this place after all" Liz sighed
"That is good and hopefully Mom will come to visit tomorrow and the relationship between you two can begin to grow again" Maggie said
"I hope you are right" Liz sighed again as they headed back.
"It's time to go child," Piper stepped forward.
"Did you bring me here so I could help change things," asked Maggie.
"Yes and it is now time to go home," Piper replied.
"Will everyone be okay here," asked Maggie. "How will Daisy be?"
"She will be home schooled and Amy will work with her on controlling her temper," Piper assured her.
"What about Liz and Mom," Maggie inquired next.
"It will be a slow process but they will build a relationship," Piper replied. "Are you ready to go?"
"I would like to say goodbye to everyone first," Maggie said.
"Go right ahead," Piper told her.
"Do you really have to leave," Daisy wailed.
"I do," Maggie replied. "I did not want to leave without saying goodbye first."
"I will miss you," Daisy cried as she hugged Maggie.
"I'll miss you too," Maggie hugged Daisy back.
Lita stepped forward. "Thank you for what you have done," she told Maggie as she gave her a hug.
"I was glad to help," Maggie hugged Lita.
"Take care," Lita said as she put her arms around Daisy.
Maggie waved good bye and left.
"Thank you for letting me stay with you," Maggie hugged Amy.
"It was nice having you," Amy replied. "Ariel enjoyed having you too. You were really good with her."
"I help take care of her sometimes at home too," Maggie giggled. "She's a sweetie."
"She is," laughed Amy. She gave Maggie a hug. "Take care of yourself. You are a wonderful young lady."
"Bye Amy," Maggie hugged her back.
Maggie timidly entered the Gates of Time. Pluto was standing at her post. "You came back," she commented.
"I just wanted to come and say goodbye," Maggie told her. "I am going back to my reality."
"I am sorry to see you go but thank you for bringing Liz here," Pluto sighed. "I have realized how cold I have been to her. Hopefully we can start over."
"I know for a fact that you can be a great mom," Maggie told her.
"I am glad to hear it," Pluto pecked a kiss on Maggie's head. "Take care."
"Just one more goodbye," Maggie thought as she left.
"I wish you could stay," Liz cried as she flung her arms around Maggie. "We could be sisters."
"We are in a way," laughed Maggie. "But I really need to get home."
"I know," Liz sighed. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too," Maggie replied. "But hopefully you and your mom will grow close."
"Hopefully," Liz said wistfully as Maggie left.
"MAGGIE" Daisy screamed as she entered her room to find her lying on the floor
"Daisy?" Maggie questioned as she started to sit up
"No! Don't get up let me get your mom" Daisy exclaimed as she ran out of the room
"Maggie what's wrong" Setsuna asked worriedly as she sat down beside her daughter
"I must have blacked out because I ended up back in that other dimension where I never existed and I ended up helping people" Maggie cried as she felt her mother's arms wrap around her tightly
"Oh sweetie I am just glad that you are okay" Setsuna sighed as she hugged her close
"What is Daisy doing here?" Maggie wondered aloud
"I came over here to visit for a few and when I found you lying on the floor it scared me to death" Daisy whispered
"Daisy I promise I am alright and I'm glad you came over" Maggie said reaching out to her friend
"I'm going to leave you two alone while I whip us up some dinner" Setsuna commented as she left the room
"I am so glad that you are not like the Daisy of that time" Maggie told her
"I promise to never change" Daisy said as she hugged Maggie
"Best friends forever" Maggie said
"Best friends forever" Daisy replied
