Chapter 4

"Hey. Any special boys in your life Fiona?" Annie asked.

"No way." Bricriu answered. "You?"

"No."

"Ah."

Annie flipped through the TV Guide. "Fi?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna watch Stepsister from Planet Weird?"

"Yeah, all right."

But I don't want to. Bricriu whined. I've already seen it.

Oh, well. It's my body, I haven't seen it, and I want to watch it. So we're watching it. Fi answered.

Bricriu sighed, but gave in. OK Little Duck. Whatever. Afterward, though, Bricriu admitted that he was glad he'd seen it again. I'd forgotten how good it was. He commented with a chuckle.

"So Fi, find any weird stuff lately?" Annie asked.

"Oh, I don't know. Kind depends on your definition of weird." Replied Fi. Annie smiled.

"I'm so glad I know the truth about my panther, though I kinda miss the mystery."

Fi nodded. "Yeah, having a mystery is fun." she agreed.

Though I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me the truth about my dad.

I don't know what he found out. I only know that he'd found out something about the spirit world, and some Spunkies wanted to kill him for it.

Your exact words were "much like us pulling your father from his body before his time". Us, not them!

By us I meant members of my species!

Oh.

Fi, I'm sorry.

It's OK. It's not like you did anything.

I knew. I tried to stop them.

You did?

Yeah. I failed though. Bricriu laughed harshly, with absolutely no humor whatsoever. Obviously.

It's not your fault. You tried.

Yeah, but still.

You tried. That's all that really matters. Fi said softly.

Now I know why I love you Fi. Bricriu said gruffly. He sounded like he was trying not to cry.

You know, I used to think you were a creep, but now I see I was wrong. You're really cool.

Bricriu grinned.

A/N Hopefully the rest of this will be up in a couple of weeks. Now that it's Christmas vacation, I have a lot more time to type my fics.
