Mia, Alex and Felix hastily walked down the path. 'How is Mia gonna get my psyenergy back?' Alex thought to himself as they walked toward Felix's house. He was sore because of the even that was rudely interrupted mere minutes ago. He was mad at Felix right now. He had a scowl on his face.

Mia turned to him and whispered in his ear, "you'll get more later! Don't be so cross!" she said it in somewhat of a harsh tone. Alex knew what she really meant. She didn't want him to be mean to anyone while they were out. He knew that he would get more later, but that was just it! He wanted it now!

They quickly reached Felix's house. Mia grabbed Alex by the arm and ran inside to see her patient. Sheba was moaning with pain. There was too much energy in her body. Mia led Alex forward. "Alex," she said as she turned to him. "Do you remember when we used to borrow each other's psyenergy?"

"Yeah." answered Alex. "What about it?"

"Borrow Sheba's." said Mia.

Alex walked over to the bed that Sheba was lying on. He brought her hand into his and opened a pathway between them. Sheba opened her eyes a little and looked at him. She freely let her psyenergy be drained, as she felt increasingly better. Alex could feel the surging power going through his body. He didn't remember that it felt this good he supposed that he had only been too long without it.

Sheba let out a sigh as she sat up. Finally! She could move-and breath without aching! "Thank you, Alex." she said sincerely as she looked at him with awe. Felix sneered at him, but Sheba ignored it. All she knew was that she felt better. She looked over at Felix. His face was hard. Was he...jealous? No, not Felix. Then again, he did look that way.

Alex looked at Felix. An understanding washed over them and Felix suddenly felt ashamed of himself. Was he still Alex's friend? Did Alex even care anymore? The hard look ebbed from Felix's face as he looked at his old friend. Was he going to stay this time, or go out wandering again? Alex had Mia now. He knew that Alex loved her. He wouldn't leave again.

He smiled at Mia, then at Felix. Even Sheba was smiling at him. So this was what it felt like to be accepted? For once in his lifetime Alex was happy. He wouldn't leave again. Of course there were still the others. They had not accepted him yet...one day, Alex hoped, they would.

Alex looked at Felix. "I'm sorry." He said.

"No." said Felix. "I'm the one who should be sorry. I stopped talking to you when I met Sheba."

"I'm the cause of all this?!" exclaimed Sheba. "I'm disgusted! Felix, you should be ashamed of yourself!"

Felix and Alex both glanced at Sheba. "We can't change the past." Said Felix.

"Guess not." Said Sheba. She sighed. "Hey! Why don't they come over tonight? Your parents will be gone, Felix." Mentioned Sheba. "We can err-talk!"

Alex didn't want to. He wanted to spend some 'alone time' with Mia. Felix wanted the same thing with Sheba.

"That's a great idea!" said Mia. She didn't feel like she was ready to be alone with Alex like that just yet. She wanted to spend more time with him first. He had only been there for three days. Alex rolled his eyes. Mia could see him do it and shot daggers at him with her gaze. Apparently the daggers weren't sharp enough because Alex ignored her completely.

"Why?" he asked.

"To be nice." Said Mia, gritting her teeth a little as she spoke.

"We have to go." Said Mia to Felix and Sheba. "Alex and I need to go shopping."

"Shopping?!" exclaimed Alex. "Why?!"

"You don't expect to that everyday, do you?" said Mia notioning to his clothes. They were warm clothes.

"Well...I..."

"He could borrow some of mine." Offered Felix.

"Thank you." Said Mia as Felix went to his room.

He came back minutes later with some casual clothes. "Here you go." He said as he handed the clothes to Mia.

Alex grumbled and Mia glared at him. "Thank you." Said Alex for fear that Mia would kill him if he didn't.

Felix laughed under his breath and Sheba let out a giggle. "We'll see you tonight." She said as the two Mercury Adepts exited the house. Then Felix turned to Sheba.

"Why did you invite them over?"

"Umm...to be nice?" said Sheba.

"I was going to take you out tonight..." sighed Felix.

Sheba looked down. "I'm sorry, Felix. You didn't tell me. Besides, Mia looks like she could use a break from Alex."

Felix only looked at Sheba with confusion. "A break from Alex?"

"Well, he's only been here for three days and he's already trying to sleep with her--oops.." Sheba wasn't supposed to tell that to Felix.

"Were you reading her mind?" he interrogated.

"Well-err-yes?" Sheba tried to lie, but she knew that it was stupid to keep secrets from her own boy friend. He only looked at her and shook his head.

"You're going to get in trouble one day for that." Said Felix.

"Oh, come on! I was doing her a favor." Pleaded Sheba.

"By going into her personal business?" asked Felix.

"Yeah!" said Sheba enthusiastically; hoping that she would find a way to change the subject. Lucky for her, there was another knock on the door.
