SUMMARY: Max finally finds Jondy



Her Lecture with Dr Robson-Garth had turned out to be fantastic. She got back an essay she'd done a week ago and was commended on her 'concise' report.

Jade was never tired. Her Manticore DNA was handy in that department but it lacked in other departments. Like all of the X5's, she got the seizures. Working at the Children's Hospital meant Jade could get her Tryptophan, although she was sneaky, she had to be careful not to be caught. All those years in adoptive care meant a lot of problems. When the Donavan's found out about the seizures, they took Jade to the doctor to get them checked out and Jade found herself having to cover up her own records. When she was at the doctors, she'd say she was going to the toilet and go to the Medicine's room. She also stole from pharmacies at night. After a couple of years, she finally met someone at school who was connected to the right people and ended up getting tryptophan from them. Manticore had really made her life complicated.

After the party the night before, and the rest of the week lacking in the sleep department, Jade found herself quite tired. She went home to her nice warm bed and went straight to sleep. She slept for about 3 hours then woke up cause of the door buzzer. Jade gingerly got out of bed and went over to the intercom.

"Hello, this is Jade." Jade used her standard address.

"Jondy, its Max!" Jade was shocked to hear a voice that had to be Max's voice.

"Max, is that really you!" Jade was overcome with emotion. Should she let Max up. She decided she'd come down. "Max, I'm coming down. I gotta see if it's really you." Jade her key's, put on some clothes, looked herself over, quickly rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and locked the door. She got downstairs in no time. Was it really Max waiting to talk to her downstairs?

"Jondy?" Max was overcome, she found herself in tears.

"Max?" She looked so different from the Jondy that Max remembered. She looked so beautiful, her hair was long and blonde, and she still looked athletic but very feminine at the same time. She was wearing a blue dress that had little flowers on it. She looked like one of the Australian girls.

"Yeah, it's me!" Max and Jondy hugged and didn't let go for a while then finally did. "It's so good to see you!"

"I'm so sorry I didn't reply, it's just I wasn't sure if it was you or not." Jondy really sounded sorry.

"It's okay sis. So what you been doing all these years? How did you end up in Australia?" There weren't words to describe how Max felt right now. She had finally found Jondy.

"Heaps. So who is the bloke you got with ya?"

"What a bloke?" Max was clearly not up with the Australian lingo.

"A bloke is a guy." Jondy had a big grin, obviously ammused with Max's response.

"Oh, Logan this is Jondy, Jondy this is Logan!" Logan came forward and shock Jondy's hand.

"And you're Max's boyfriend?" Jondy still had the grin.

" It's nice to meet you and to answer your question, the boyfriend issue is questionable!" Logan and Max stared at each other and then both turned to Jondy.

"Long Story!" Max answered very quickly.

"Manticore planted a virus in Max, I can't touch her or I die!"

"Maybe not that long! Not the issue. I can't believe how beautiful you've turned out!" Max wanted out of that topic.

"So are you. You got to come inside, both of you. We have heaps to talk on." Jondy started walking towards the apartment building entry. Max and Jondy had finally reunited.
