Epilouge: The End of the Journey
Magic and the others appeared back in the field. Looking around, Magic suddenly hugged Xel, and then Dream, and Toki.
"Cute kid…" Toki muttered with a smile.
"Almost sweet, even." Dream said. Tamue had suddenly come up and hugged Xel.
"You," she said to Magic, who was sitting looking up at her. "Have NO permission to hug him." Xel was quiet and didn't accept, but then again, didn't reject the hug. "everyone on this planet has something against me…" he grumbled as Danta showed Tamue some pictures she had taken earlier of Xel blushing. Tamue (who had actually been tipsy) looked at them with great interest.
"You bet we do." Derix mumbled.
Magic looked up at Tamue adoringly. She just stared back.
This little one, she thought, Is very different… just like me, only different, in the oddest way. I can't explain it. She smiled, and Magic imitated, forming a smile after a few seconds of trying.
"She's cute." Dream finally said with a smile. Yes, she was cute. She had a star at the end of her tail, and had a light purple hue in her blue, but stars, none the less. She went to hug Xelqued again, but Tamue stopped her by lightly pulling her tail back.
"Nuh huh… he's had enough bugging for today." Magic looked from her, to Xelqued, then back at her.
++He's nice to save me.++ She informed her.
Tamue smiled. "M'hm."
Suddenly, Dib spoke up.
"Oh no… another experiment." Tamue's fir bristled. Not another one…
"I've had enough of those to last a lifetime." She would need a bit of relaxation… then she'd be able to face this next experiment with her friends. Until then, she'd have to wait. Derix was staring at the sky.
"Thinking of her?" Dream asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" Derix answered, but yes, he was thinking. What had he done in the SSV? He wasn't even sure.
"You're so… arrogant." Dream sat next to him and looked up.
"Haven't you noticed Xelqued? Our whole race is arrogant." He lowered his voice. "To answer you're question, yes."
"Maybe she was being controlled all along, maybe her mind snapped. No one knows."
"Yeah…" he murmured, staring up, wondering if she was watching him. "No one knows. People's minds snap, though. Zee's did, didn't it? My mind is still foggy."
"Yeah, it happened to Zee. One thing we know… when Ker comes back, we can't trust her." She turned her gaze to look at him, the fireworks were bringing in the new year. "It happened to Zee. Who'da thought…" she looked back up. "We'd be bringing in the new year with one of our party gone, one to replace her?"
"Not me…" he mumbled.
Tamue walked over and sat by Derix.
"Thinking?"
"Hey, Tam', did you ever think there were more like you and Magic?" Dream asked. Tamue shrugged.
"Don't even want to think about it…" she poked Derix with her forehead. "You'll get over it, Jikei-San…" He turned.
"What did you call me?"
"Jikei. It means brother." Derix stared at her for a minute, then smilled.
"Interesting…" Tamue sighed.
"The death of a year, the birth of a new one… who knows, by next year…" she started counting things off her fingers. "Horus and Vee will be married, you and Xel will be reaccepted by the alien aishas… Arlhox will die a painful death…" she grinned. Magic sat next to her.
"Oh," Dream grinned. "That's pleasant." Tamue sighed.
"Isn't it, though?"
"Ker'll be back." Dream looked at Derix's reaction. He patted Magic on the head.
"Yeah, things will happen." He turned his eyes on the sky. "We just have to be ready."
"Yup…"
"Hey," Tamue grinned down at Magic. "Want to annoy Xelqued again?"
++You said I couldn't.++
"I said for a day. It's a whole new YEAR, you can do all the buggin' you want." Magic smiled again. Tamue turned to Derix and Dream. "You guys wanna join in?"
Xel put a paw over his face.
"Oh god…"
Tamue and Magic burst crackers over his head.
"Happy New Year, Xellie!"
"Happy New Year, Zee."
Should old acquaintance be forgot'n, and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot'n, and days of long ago…
Happy New Year, everyone.
~All of 'us'
