I do not own these characters; they belong to their respective owners. Keeren belongs to me and Missy and Teri belong to Missy and Teri.
This is a re-written version of the original version I wrote in the summer of 2002, it sucked royal ass, so I'm re-writing it! Enjoy! *********************
A slim figure lay casually on a large bed, her head bowed and a thick book in her hands. The rays of a new morning shone through the window placed near the ceiling of the basement bedroom. The figure flipped a page in the book and out of habit, pushed her finger up the bridge of her nose. The Saiya-elf had only lost the need for glasses a couple of months ago, but the habits still remained. She chuckled as she read over her favorite section of the book and glanced over to the sleeping form next to her. Her fellow elf slept on carelessly, halfway curled into a fetal position as he gripped at the soft pillow.
Teri smirked as she placed her bookmark, a green one which was faded from the many years of use with a green tassel attached to the top. Surprisingly enough, she'd forgotten how she received it, although it had a photo of the Orlando Bloom version of Legolas on it. She shut the book and placed it onto the night stand next to her and pushed herself off the bed.
It was a warm summer day, just the way she liked it. Teri pushed off from the ground an inch or two and pushed the window open, letting a breeze in and the smell of the outdoors. Returning to the floor, Teri twisted her waist-length hair into a ponytail and walked over to her day-by-day calendar. Yesterday was the third of July, meaning today is the fourth. Ripping yesterday's sheet off and tossing it into the garbage, Teri grinned at her guess.
Independence day, the day of her country's liberty, or until she was a decade year old, she called it fireworks day. Yes, the was the main reason she looked forward to this day. Wild explosions of color and sound in the sky, brightening like day as stars shined above. The Saiya-elf was always curious of how they worked, what magic made the flashes and made the streaks of gold, green, blue and purple. Learning so at the age of thirteen made the curiosity die down, knowing it was only a chemical reaction. Now she was interested in electronics.
Food was another reason, especially now that she was a magical creature. Her hungry doubled and made her crave wild things. It was what made her try corn chips with Salsa, and she actually enjoyed it for once. Although, she still liked them plain.
Blinking away from her train of thought, she looked down upon the calendar once more. A little note was written in english which was hard to understand at first, but she soon read it with ease.
'Legolas's day of birth'
Teri grinned at her fellow Elf's grammar problems. Teaching Legolas to write in english was hard and he still didn't have it down right yet, though it was plain to see what he had meant to say. Her eyes went to a chest she had placed next to the closet. Inside lay a canvas with chalk lines across it, and only to the eyes of a person who respected art would see that it was the forest of Greenwood. A photo of the same scene lay with the canvas and Teri had only five or six hours to finish it before she had to give it to the prince.
Taking in a deep breath and releasing it slowly, she walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of jean shorts and a tank top to wear today. Today was a good day.

Teri stretched her arms above her head as she walked into the kitchen/dining room. Here sat her sister, Suzaku's monk, Chiriko and Mirai. Each had a separate choice of breakfast in front of them, mostly toast and coffee.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu!" Teri said cheerfully, waving to them as she went to the cupboard for some cereal. Chichiri and Chiriko waved in return as Melissa jotted down some sort of plan while stuffing her face with Oreo-Os. Teri hummed a soft tune to herself as she poured the corn puffs into a bowl and then added milk. She picked it up and went over to the table.
"Sensei, may I sit here?" Teri said with a dorkish grin. Mirai nodded and Teri sat down next to the Saiya-man.
"What'cha doin' Oni-chan?" Teri asked, looking over at Melissa's paper.
"Just a couple of plans for tonight." She returned, not looking up. Teri looked a bit closer and noticed what she had written for Midnight.
'Get Tasuki alone with me'
Teri blinked a few times and shrugged, knowing her sister was more direct than she was. She remembered when they were younger Melissa used to claim a male character from an anime or any TV show within five minutes of seeing him. Keeren always got pissed at her for that, because the small Saiya-jin always got the crummy manwhores. Of coarse, now it was different.
"Teri-sama?" Chriko asked. The Saiya-elf looked at him and returned:
"Nan?"
"What exactly is all the fuss about today? Is it another religious holiday?"
Teri held in a snort of laughter, remembering the last two holidays her and her friends celebrated with the seishi. St.Patricks day was chaos. Easter was really bad because someone (They think it was Nuriko) threw an egg at someone else and sooner or later the whole party was covered with egg yokes and chocolate.
"No, not exactly little Dou-kun" Teri said, raising a finger. "About.... I'm guessing a little over two centuries ago, this country, the Oh so wanna be spiffy country, the U.S of A, was liberated from the tea-drinking british." Teri said with a sarcastic voice while speaking the names of the two countries. "And so, every year we celebrate it with lots of food, parties and fireworks!!" Teri spread her arms out for emphasis on Fireworks.
"Like on New Years?"Chiriko said with a smile. Teri nodded happily. Melissa looked up from her notes and grinned widely.
"Yeah, and this year will be the best you and all the rest of the Seishi have ever seen." Melissa dropped her spoon into the empty bowl and stood up from the table. "We're going to an empty field on the other side of the forest." She placed the bowl in the sink and ran cold water over it. "There's a highway near it but we shouldn't get into much trouble."
"You DID remember to get the fireworks from Walmart right?" Teri asked, unsure of her forgetful sister.
"Yes Teri, I did." Melissa rolled her eyes. "I found a good deal on some down by Meijers too."
"No crappers?"
"Nope."
Mirai looked up from his meal to face the two sisters, who were talking to each other like nobody else was present. He'd heard that if the Androids had never attacked his world, he would have had a sibling of his own. Though, he'd also heard that him and his sibling were never quite fond of each other.
"Hey Missy" Teri grinned, her eyes glittering with mischief. "Guess who's birthday is today?"
"Bob's?"
"No, Dave never specified his birthday. Guess again."
"R.I.F.T?"
"Nope! Leggies!" Teri threw her hands in the air, laughing.
"Cool." Melissa raised her thumb to her sister. "He never told us."
"Meh, it was written on our calendar."
"Ah"
A new identity stepped into the room, wearing a pair of shorts and a thin tank top. Tasuki ran a hand through his hair as Melissa grinned deviously at him.
"Hey Genrou." Melissa said, stepping up to him. "I'm goin' down to th' store in a bit t' get some food. You wanna come with?"
Tasuki shrugged, blinking his sleepiness away. Melissa clapped her hands happily as she danced past the ex-bandit to her bedroom. Tasuki watched her go before pulling himself to the cupboard for some food. Chichiri soon got up, declaring that he had some meditating to do before tonight. Chiriko soon followed, going to do some reading. Teri was left at the table with Tasuki and Mirai, left to ponder at herself of what kind of gift she would give the dear prince of Greenwood.
********************* A/N: Yeah, I ended it kinda short compared to the first copy. But I kind of merged that last section I wrote with what I was suppose to write. So, meh.
To Be Continued....
