'Before All This.'
Disclaimer: Me no owny. Translation into common English? I don't own it!
Wonder Jenny: Woah! Is it even POSSIBLE to wake up that early? Not for me, anyways...ahh..but this chapter would explain that it WOULD be legal. You'll see. Lol, I'm sorry. But it was true. It is HER fault, and in this chappie you'll see why. Lol. Better not let Dairine hear....
Dairine: Hear what?
M-A: Damn. She's way to sharp. Umm...nothing!
Lol....I don't think Kit would like that very much....
Virgo: Ahhh. This is definitely a plot-thickening chapter. And it's okay. I'm just happy that you read my fic in the first place. But thanks for reviewing and please continue to do so...
Shima and Tempis: Ahh...but maybe that's not such a bad thing...
Little Lisa: Lol, Umm...maybe...^_^...lol, this chapter explains a lot. Lol, sorry I haven't been as fast as usual, but I've been really busy and tired these past couple of days. lol!
Now...on with the show!
"I want you to get close to it."
Dairine looked at him in surprise and confusion. Leaning over, she raised her eyebrows.
"It."
He glared at her.
"Oh, your power!"
He nodded, as if she were an idiot, and then grinned. She sighed. It seemed that Ronan would always find it absolutely hilarious to flare up her anger.
"Why do you want me to get close to it?"
He slid down the counter, sitting beside her, and with an air of great naivety, touched his leg to hers. She didn't fall for it, and he grinned when she leaned in and kissed him. When they broke apart, she narrowed her eyes at him.
"What? I don't know what's going on in your head ALL the time..."
He sighed, and wrapped his arms around her waist, thinking.
"It won't tell me anything. But...I have a feeling it will tell you...."
"Me? Why would it tell me?"
Ronan blushed, and realization dawned in Dairine's eyes.
"Oh..."
She smiled, and took both his hands.
"I'll do it."
*~*~*~~Two weeks later *~~*~*~*~*
"Ro?"
"Hmm?"
He jumped off the rail outside of Dairine's school, and jogged up to walk beside her, as she ,made her way down the path from the school building. He smiled down at her. She know considered him male, though Powers had no certain gender. But it was hard to consider him as 'It', when he seemed to her more human. In fact, it was Ro's idea.
"It is a word for 'Thing' in Earth's terminology?" he had asked.
"Yes..."
"What an ugly word. I am not such."
"But...what can I call you?"
"Well, what do you use on Ronan when talking in third person?"
"He..."
"Then that is what you can categorise me as."
She had learned, over the days, that this Power was very fond of Ronan. Something 'He' and Dairine had in common. Now, smiling, she turned to him.
"How was your day?"
"Fine. And yours?"
"Alright..Ro..can I ask you some questions..."
He paused, and looked at her uncertainly. He blinked several times, and then looked down, almost guiltily.
"Dairine...you know I can't tell you anything about your power default...."
She waved her hand at him in dismiss. Of course, she wanted to know the reasons for her problem, but she knew well, by now, that no matter how much she pleated Ro, he would not give in. However, today, there were more important things on her mind.
"I know that. But I want to know some things about Ronan."
He grinned. "I'm not sure I'm allowed to answer those kind of questions either.."
She reached her hand out to hit him, and was surprised to find her hand caught in his. A reaction and a reflex she had only seen Ronan accomplish. She backed up, looking him up and down, and then in to his eyes. She was confused even more when she saw that it was still Ro who was standing in front of her. He sighed.
"I'm sorry."
She shook her head in disbelief. "Don't be sorry. Explain."
He shifted his shoulders, and she was awed again. That was what 'Ronan' did whenever he was uncomfortable.
"This body...this mind..." He stopped, took a breath and continued.
"Dairine, in a way, I am Ronan. The only thing we do not share, is conscious of mind. His likes and dislikes are my likes and dislikes. His skills are my skills. His knowledge is my knowledge. His memories..." His eyes seemed to sadden, "are MY memories."
She waited for him to continue.
"I am a Power. But my essence of being is Ronan. He creates who I am."
Dairine leaned towards him, their faces inches apart. And she gazed at him almost challengingly.
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Green."
"What's your favourite metal band?"
"Are you insane? Do you really think I want to listen to a bunch of guys screaming?"
She leaned back and stared at him.
"Powers..." she whispered.
"Watch it..."
"Sorry...but...but you ARE Ronan...except you aren't..but you are and..I'm so confused."
He smiled gently at her. "Don't push your understanding."
"This explains a lot of things."
"I guess it does.."
"So..so you...share all his...feelings? Fear..anger...sadness...and..." She stopped and looked up at him. He nodded.
"Attraction..." He finished for her, and without warning, he leaned in and kissed her. When he pulled away, Dairine was left with a tingly feeling in her lips, a sensation usually brought by Ronan, and surprise that she didn't feel guilty.
He looked at her calmly and waited for her to speak.
"Should..I be...feeling bad about this?"
He tilted his head. "I don't understand what you mean..."
"I mean....is this..cheating?"
He blinked at her, and then, to her surprise, he laughed. A calm, gently but mischievous laugh that could have been easily made by Ronan. Except it was Ro. When he had calmed himself down, he brushed a piece of auburn-red hair from her face.
"No...no it wouldn't be cheating, Dairine. If you asked Ronan, he would be okay with it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive. Because I don't feel jealous when you kiss him, therefor he would not feel jealous if you kissed me." He gazed at her sternly. "But that does NOT apply for other guys..it's only because..."
"Yeah, yeah. You really think I'm that shallow?"
"No..I was just-."
"Hey," She cut in, grinning because she knew how much Ronan, and therefor Ro hated to be interrupted, "Can I ask you one more question?"
"Of course."
"Do you and Ronan have anything to do with my power?"
He paused, thinking silently, and then he smiled at her.
"Yes, Dairine. I'm afraid we do."
