(Walking into the cafe) ,,Hey guys (Amber and Bray were sitting there, Amber looked really tired and was leaning against Bray's chest). How's it going?"

,,Fine, just a bit tired."-Amber.

,,I told you you shouldn't have come to the meeting, we'll just finish dinner and then get you to bed, you need the rest."-Bray (obviously being worried about her).

,,I'm a big girl, Bray, don't tell me what to do!"-Amber.

,,Sorry, but I think he's right. After Eagle Mountain, you have to be careful!"

,,But I have duties!" Amber.

,,Nobody needs a tired leader, you have to take care of yourself first."

,,But I can't just stay in bed the whole day!"-Amber.

,,That's a good idea, don't worry, tomorrow, you stay in bed and we'll take care of you. You deserve it! Don't worry, we can handle it for one day."- Bray.

,,There's not much to do anyway, only giving out the antidote and cleaning the Mall, I don't believe you have another tribalmeeting tomorrow, so you can just stay in bed. I'm sure Bray will take good care of you, won't you Bray?"

,,Okay, I give in. It doesn't sound that bad. But now can I eat my dinner or are you gonna feed me?"-Amber.

,,Atleast you've still got your sense of humor."-Bray (smiling at her and giving her a kiss on the forehead).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Later in bed) i,,It's so peaceful around here now, it would be a shame if the Chosen came and distroyed all of this. We could tell the rest of the city, but will they believe us? Well, we'll just have to see. For now I'm glad Bray and Amber are together. But what about Danni and Pride? Danni seems to like him, but I don't know about Pride. I think I'll talk to him tomorrow. Maybe he can convince the rest of the Gaians that they need to help fight the Chosen. Maybe that thing about the Guardian being insane will help, they don't want the city in the hands of an insane man, do they? They wouldn't want Pride here if they wanted nothing to do with the city, so they must care. And what about Brady? If the Chosen don't get her, what will they do? They may even kidnap somebody else to get to Brady. We'll just have to be careful. But the best thing is for the Chosen to be distroyed as soon as possible. That'll save a lot of trouble. And Tai-San. That explosion in the lab can't happen. But then she won't tell anyone the formula and that'll be dangerous. But wait a minute, if she doesn't tell Bray, Ebony won't blackmail him and find out the formula, if only I knew what she used to blackmail him, I can't remember it, it's been a while since that one was on. But one thing is for sure, I have to keep Ebony from getting it, she can't be trusted, not yet. And maybe Bray isn't even speaking to her, I haven't seen her in a while. Maybe she's planning something. I think I should keep an eye on her. She can't be up to anything good. Maybe she should meet Jay soon. And now that Amber has Bray, maybe Ebony and Jay will stay together? And what about Trudy? I know she and Jay had something too, only I never saw those shows, I just read it on the internet. I think I'd better get some sleep now, before I go mad from thinking about all those ifs. I sure changed a lot. I just hope it's turns out to be for the best . . . "/i

(The next day going to the cafe) ,,Hey Bray! How's Amber doing with the whole staying in bed thing? Tried to get out yet?"

,,No, I don't believe she's even awake yet, but I'm making her breakfast for when she does. She really needs a timeout."-Bray.

,,Then I'm glad she has you to make sure she gets one."

,,Why don't you pay her a visit later? I'm sure she'll like that."-Bray.

,,Okay, I'll do that. But I hear someone calling for you, I think she woke up!"

,,Yeah, I'd better go."-Bray.

i,,Now let's see if there's some breakfast left."/i

,,Morgaine, Morgaine! Do you want to help me find Patsy? We're playing hide and seek and I can't find her!"-Cloe.

,,Have you had breakfast yet?"

,,No, but please help? Amber has to stay in bed and Bray won't come and Salene is on the farm. Please?"-Cloe.

,,Okay, and after that we're going to have some breakfast, right Clo?"

,,Yeah."-Cloe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,There's Patsy! Found you!"-Cloe.

,,That took long, Bob was getting hungry."-Patsy.

,,Then we're going to have to get some breakfast, won't we girls?"

,,Yes, what are we having?"-Patsy.

,,I don't know, let's see what there is and if there's nothing, we'll make something."

,,But we don't know how to cook!"-Cloe.

,,Then it's about time you learned!" (luckily for them there were still some beans left so we ate them and talked a bit).

,,Now go on and play, but don't forget that you have antidote duty later."

,,We won't, besides, they won't let us forget."-Patsy.

,,I guess you're right, bye."

,,See you later."-Cloe (and they ran out of the cafe with Bob after them).

,,I meant what I said about you being good with kids."-Trudy (who just came in).

,,Thanks, I just like them, and with Salene to the farm and Bray and Amber not available, they need someone to play with!"

,,What do you meen about Bray and Amber?"-Trudy.

,,Amber has to stay in bed today to rest and Bray is bringing her breakfast in bed."

,,She's lucky to have him."-Trudy.

,,Jealous?"

,,Yeah, I wished I had a guy like Bray, one that loved me as much as he does her."-Trudy.

,,Maybe someday you'll find him, but even if you don't, you still have Brady."

,,Yeah, you're right, but she keeps my hands full, I'm thinking about getting a babysitter for her. So I can get some free time."-Trudy (looking down at Brady sitting by her feet).

,,I don't mind doing that, I can even ask the girls to help!"

,,Really?"-Trudy.

,,Yeah! When can I start?"

,,How about this afternoon?"-Trudy.

,,Great! I'll take her for a walk, we all need fresh air and aspecially babies."

,,But is that safe? What about those Chosen you talked about?"-Trudy.

,,I'll just take a wooden stick with me, I think I can use that, besides, there is only one of them watching her now, so I don't think he's going to do anything unless she's all alone and she won't be."

,,Okay, then I guess that's settled."-Trudy.

,,I'll pick her up after my antidote duty."

,,Okay."-Trudy.

,,Now I'm going to see Amber, maybe she wants a visiter."

,,Okay, I'm just going to get something to eat then."-Trudy.

,,There's a little bit left of the beans, you can take that."

,,Okay, thanks.-Trudy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,Hey Amber. Bray said you might want a visiter so I thought I'd stop by. Where is he anyways?"

,,I believe he's getting me another pillow."-Amber (looking like she thought she didn't need it at all).

,,I see he's taking good care of you."

,,Yeah he does, he's really concerned."-Amber.

,,I think he doesn't want to loose you again."

,,Yeah, but he doesn't have to worry about that. He would never loose me, or atleast as long as he stays the way he is. I wouldn't trade him for anyone."-Amber.

,,I'm happy for you two, you need someone. Being a leader isn't easy."

,,Yes, you're right, I'm really lucky to have Bray to make me rest if I need it, even if I don't want to admit it. Just don't tell him I said that."-Amber.

,,She doesn't have to."-Bray (coming into her room with a lot, and I mean a lot, of pillows).

,,I thought you'd get ONE pillow? What do you want to do with those? You can cover my whole room with them!"-Amber.

,,That would be safe, don't you think? But I just thought I'd get a few extra."-Bray (smiling).

,,That isn't a few extra, that's a few extra and then some."

,,That's what I was about to say."-Amber (seeming to enjoy the whole scene).

,,I guess I should leave now, maybe you could fit some more pillows in here that way." (we all laughed and I went to go to my antidote duty.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(After antidote duty) ,,Hé Trudy! I'm finished now, I can take Brady out."

,,Okay, I'll go get her carage. (a few minutes late Trudy came back) Are you sure you can do this by yourself? You don't want me to come with you?- Trudy.

,,I'm sure Trude. This was all to get you some free time, use it!"

,,Okay, see you soon then. Brady, you'll see mommy soon, you're just going with aunti Morgaine for a walk. Bye honey!"-Trudy.

,,Bye Trudy."

,,Take good care of her."-Trudy (still looking concerned).

,,I will, don't worry about her."
