Georgia sat on a hill, her legs tucked under her, and her silver hair blowing in the light breeze. It was perfect; like a dream. She felt relaxed, and content, wanting to never leave. The grass beneath her wasn't too damp, it was perfect, and it tickled her legs. She sighed, closed her eyes, and smiled, then leaned back, so she was lying on the ground. She felt like she would go to sleep, any moment now.



After a few minutes, of just lying on her back in the grass, she heard something. She bolted upright, and glanced around, nervously. She didn't recognize the sound, but whatever it was, it sounded close. Then it sounded again, and this time it relieved her. It was the shuffling of feet against wet grass, with a few twigs snapping. She glanced behind her, and smiled, her eyes brightening. It was someone, that she could have sworn up and down was a duplicate of herself, in looks, except for the fact that he was a man, and had violet eyes instead of green. And behind him, stood a woman, with honey colored hair, and green eyes, much like her own.



"Are you...?" she asked, excitedly, and the two nodded their heads in perfect unison. This both delighted her, and scared her. Her parents were back? How should she react to this? Should she stand up and hug them? Should she ask them why they never came back? Should she ask them why they left in the first place? All of the above ran through her head, at a hundred miles per hour.



Her mother stepped forward, and knelt down, to be eye-to-eye with her one and only daughter. She was smiling, and Georgia noticed that her eyes had a sad sparkle to them. "Georgia, honey, we're so sorry we left you and never came back. But that's no longer the point. The point is, we're back, to stay." she said, and this completely delighted Georgia. Her parents had come back... to stay?? Did this mean that they were never going to go out and fight against monsters again?



Suddenly, just as her father was about to step forward and say something, something odd happened. A voice, out of thin air, began yelling. Jet and Virginia gave each other fearful looks, turned, and ran in the opposite direction. Georgia gasped, and extended her right arm towards them, her eyes widening.



"Where are you going?? Come back!" she yelled, just standing there. She watched as her parents ran away from her, not bothering to even look back. Her eyes stung from tears threatening, and she could feel a lump in her throat that made it hard to breath. She let out a shaky breath, and her arm dropped down beside her. She hung her head, and closed her eyes, ready to let the tears overwhelm her eyes. "Come back..." she breathed, her voice cracking, and barely above a whisper. Slowly, the world around her began to blacken, so it was just her standing in the middle of nothingness.





She closed her eyes, then opened them again, and she found herself staring at the wall. She sniffed, then blinked, rubbing her tired eyes. As she did so, she heard an angry colorful shout. She sat up, and snapped her head around to the window. She saw an arm and a hand gripping onto the window. "HELP!!" she jumped out of bed, and rushed to the window. She looked down to see Anthony trying desperately not to fall. She rolled her eyes, reached down, grabbed the back of his jacket, and yanked him back up into the room. She turned around, and crossed her arms at him. He was sitting on the floor, glaring at her.



"Were you trying to escape?" she spat, and he rolled his eyes, standing up and dusting himself off.



"What do you think, Dim-bulb?" he asked, sat down on his bed, and leaned against the wall. Georgia sighed an exasperated sigh, and slapped a hand over her face.



"Would you stop with the name calling already!! It's getting annoying. Anyway, just WHY do you want to leave so badly anyway?! You could always leave, if you still want to, after we find my parents and Kaitlyn's father!" she exclaimed, walking closer to Anthony's bed. He glanced at her with an eyebrow raised.



"Now why exactly do you want me to stay so badly? Huh? All you want me to stay with you for is for you to use me for your own satisfaction. Well, that is just plain selfish." he scoffed, looking in the opposite direction of Georgia. Georgia stopped, her eyes wide, and her mouth half open. She blinked, and flopped backwards onto her bed.



"You're right... I am being selfish... how could I have been so... so... into my own needs?! I'm so stupid!" she said, tears springing to her eyes. She looked down at her hands, with the palms turned up. She sniffed, and closed her eyes, lying down on the bed. Anthony looked at her, blinking. He made her cry? Well, it served her right, but... for some reason, it didn't feel right to him. He sighed, and shook his head.



"It's all right, everyone has some selfishness. Heh, look at me, I'm full of it!" he laughed, and looked back to Georgia, to see her smiling. He gave her a questioning look, and crossed his arms. "What?"



"You... smiled and laughed."



"Yeah... so what?"



"That's the first time I've seen you smile or laugh."



"Well, you better have enjoyed it, because it's never going to happen again this millennium."



"I bet I can make you do it again."



"You're on."



Anthony and Georgia glared at each other for a few minutes, until Georgia yawned, and realized how late it was. "Anthony, I think we better get back to sleep, it's still late, and we have a ways to... go." a yawn interrupted her in the middle of to and go. Anthony nodded his head, and laid back, on his back, staring up at the ceiling. He sighed, and glanced in Georgia's direction, to see that she was already asleep. He half smiled, and shook his head.



"I guess she was more tired than I thought she was." he laughed, then turned over, closing his eyes. Suddenly, he realized something, and opened his eyes back up, wide. "She won the bet. She made me smile and laugh again. Oh well, what she doesn't know won't hurt me." he said, smirking, right before he drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Georgia awoke to the sound of someone knocking on the door. She blinked back the slight blurriness in her eyes, and sat up, yawning widely. Just as she did so, she saw Anthony walk over to the door and open it, revealing Kaitlyn, who was smiling widely. Georgia smiled at Kaitlyn, and exclaimed, "Good morning!" Kaitlyn looked to her, continuing to smile extremely wide.



"Morning Georgia!" she exclaimed, then looked to Anthony, her smile losing it's cheer. "Eh, morning, Anthogy." she looked back to Georgia, and her smiled returned to full radiance. "Guess what, Georgia?!"



"What?" Georgia asked, with a yawn, and patted her mouth.



"I found a new teammate!" Kaitlyn exclaimed, and Georgia's eyes widened, her mouth curling up into an open mouthed smile. Kaitlyn moved away from the door, and motioned to it. "I would like you to meet Meira Schroedinger!" she exclaimed, and in walked the 15 year old from Jolly Roger, who was with Maya and Alfred. Georgia smiled, and nodded her head at the fellow teenager.



"Nice to meet you, Meira." she greeted, still sitting lazily under the covers. Meira smiled a little bit.



"Yeah, nice to meet you, too, um... Georgia, isn't it?" she asked, and Georgia nodded her head with a smiled. Meira turned her attention to Anthony, who stood, leaning against the wall. "And you're... uh... Anthony, right?"





"Yeah," was the only reply the blue eyed male Drifter gave as an answer. Meira blinked, and looked back to Georgia.



"Well, uh, Kaitlyn told me that you guys needed a new teammate, and, well, my mom and Uncle are retiring as Drifters. So, I was hoping that you would accept my request."



"Sure! Of course you can join our team!" she smiled widely, standing up from the comfortable bed. "We would be delighted to accept. Wouldn't we, Anthony, Kaitlyn?" she looked to Anthony, then to Kaitlyn, indicating for them to answer her question. Kaitlyn smiled widely.



"Of course it's all right with me, I'm the one that invited her! Duh!" she laughed, then they all looked to Anthony, who was just glaring at his feet.



"Why are you asking me, I'm just going to be with you 3 bim... uh, I mean, GIRLS," he glanced at Georgia, who was smirking at him, "Until after you find your parents and your dad." he motioned to Georgia then to Kaitlyn, looking towards his stuff, which was on the bed. Kaitlyn looked to Georgia with her eyebrows furrowed, and Georgia just sighed and shrugged, mouthing the words, 'I'll-tell-you-about-it-later.'
