Chapter Two

The Reunion

"I need to know!" screamed Jason.

"Curiosity only gets you killed, but if you have to know my story is like an artichoke. You need to start slowly, peeling away. The leaves may be bitter but the heart is sweet." Said the stranger.

"I don't know if I should stay here, or begin to find Shea. Because I sense I need to know your story." Said Jason.

"Yes."

"Yes what?!" Jason said, confused throwing his hands to his head.

"Yes you need to find Shea to hear the rest of my story." Said the mysterious stranger.

"Let's go then! Hurry up!" exclaimed Jason.

"No need to hurry, or to go and I'm right with you." Replied the stranger.

"What the..."

There was a flash of light and Jason and Ranma suddenly found themselves on the surface next to the fountain.

"Oh, grr, I thought he was coming!" Jason said annoyed as he sighed.

Ranma tapped Jason on the elbow and said in a very shaky voice, "Y-Y-You kn-know. I th-th-think he is."

Jason stood there with his hands on his hips saying, "What does he think? Is she going to walk up behind me?"

"Uh..." said Ranma, scared out of his mind with eyes as big as pool balls.

Jason turned around and gasped.

"She has beautiful brown hair and sky blue eyes. She is half of a foot smaller than me. Her blouse and skirt are as white as snow with fading pink on the bottom. She also wears a light blue vest with wide long sleeves. She has a blood red dazzling ruby in her forehead, like a star in the sky... Laura!" Jason explained as the two jewels began to shine even brighter.

"Laura? No, I think you have the wrong person, my name is Shea." She said. Hearing the name Laura had made her start to wonder.

"I wonder how that came out.' Jason said.

"I've got that feeling..." Ranma said.

"You know what, I've got a feeling that someone's here." Said Shea.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....." Jason said, practically pulling the hair out of his head.
