Following The Footsteps.
This is a sequel to Xin Ru Si Hui, but if you haven't read that then I'm about to give you a brief summary, and some extra info about this fic. For those who have read Xin Ru Si Hui, then skip to the bottom part, which will be after the ~~~ things.
Xin Ru Si Hui (A Heart Reduced To Ashes) was set during Blah Blah Woof Woof, except Max was in love with Zack, and he loves her. He tells her that in a round-a-bout way, and she thinks it over.
But before they can leave the next day, she rings Logan and finds out that he's in hospital. She goes to him, gives him her blood and gets caught. Zack gives himself up for her and goes back to Manticore. Max goes home, and finds O.C. crying because Logan had a post-surgery problem and died.
Max goes to the Space Needle and meets Jondy, who Zack had called to help, and they talk. Jondy tells her to get on with her life, so they go to Jam Pony. It is there that Max sees the news about the crash of the helicopter that was carrying Zack, and that there were no survivors.
Her and Jondy go to the Space Needle again, talk, and Max confesses to loving Zack. Then Zack appears out of the shadows and sweeps Max off her feet, and they tell each other they are in love. They leave and Jondy is all alone.
She admits to herself that she is in love with Zack as well, but will not tell any one. She thinks that no one will understand her any more and feels very lonely. She leaves a message on Zack's voice mail, telling him to look after her sister, and let her see the others. She tells Max that she knew how she felt (when Zack and Logan were dead).
She whispers under her breath, 'While the weight of the curtain closing crushes your heart, the inertia of loneliness tears you apart' thinking that it is the perfect quote for her. The story ends when Jondy throws herself off the Space Needle.
~~
This story is set fifteen years after Xin Ru Si Hui. Max and Zack are married, and have five kids:
Jonay (Joe-nay): 15
Evalyn (Ever-lyn): 8 ½
Jackson: 8 ½
Tiera (Tye-ra): 6
Bennet: 4
Max and Zack haven't told their kids anything about Manticore, so when Jonay finds a barcode on the back of her neck on her 15th birthday she is surprised and hides it from her parents. Her barcode is 14 digits long: 33015994520210. The first two are just what all Manticore barcodes start with, the next two are her birth order, then Zack's designation, Max's designation and the last four are her own designation.
Seattle is still pretty much the same as it is in Dark Angel.
Nothing after Blah Blah Woof Woof has happened, so Max never went back to Manticore, Zack didn't have to die. Manticore is still alive and kicking, but hasn't been heard from in many years. None of the transgenics have escaped, so there is no Joshua, or Alec (sigh) or White or the familiars. Max didn't have to kill Ben, but Brin is still back in Manticore.

Well that's all that I can think of that you need to know, so just keep reading and reviewing.
