Chapter One: A Reunion and a Rescue

Francoise sat, waiting for her long missed friend. She remembered the letter she had received from her just a week ago as she blew into the cold fall air. 007 couldn't wait to meet her friend after staring at a picture of her and Francoise at one of her ballet recitals. But that was seven years ago.
Her friend was known to be the happy-go-lucky one. The one everyone goes to for advice. The one that always cheers someone up and can be serious at the same time. Francoise's memory had blanked out when she heard footsteps coming from behind her. The blonde girl stood up and waved as she saw a familiar looking girl of maybe 17 or 18 years old running towards her with a smile she hadn't seen in years.

"Francoise!" the girl cried, still waving. "Francoise!"

She ran up to her friend and hugged each other, pushing the tears behind them. When they separated, Francoise looked at her long lost friend with delight. Shoulder length hair flipped upward on the sides, gorgeous amethyst eyes, a white turtle neck vest with a black long sleeve shirt and white pants.

"Rena, you won't believe how long I've waited for this..."

The girl wiped a tear away and smiled. "Francoise," she clasped her hands with hers. "You've changed so much! I have so much to tell you about...."

Rena's voice drifted to sorrow, bringing Francoise's spirit downward. As her friend's lavender eyes looked back up, she gasped and stepped backwards. Francoise reached her hand out, trying to reach for her.

"Rena?"

She raised her hand in the air as sparks shot out at her finger tips to behind Francoise.

"Watch out!" Francoise leaped to the side as a dark tall figure came past. Rena leaped backwards with her hand shocking with multiple colors. "He's back for me?!"

Francoise's green eyes shined with fear. "Black ghost? For Rena?!"

The blonde watched the dark figure close in on her friend helplessly. Rena had her hand raised, shaking with sudden fright. As Francoise started to run towards a phone booth to call for help, a shriek echoed as Black Ghost was finally able to grab her. Rena shot several sparks at him, but they had seemed to have shorted out as soon as they touched him.

"I don't want to go back there! Leave me alone!!" she cried.

Rena turned the other way, facing a dead tree with her arms hugging at her sides. Her eyes closed tight, praying that she would be safe soon. As she thought Black Ghost could be closer than ever, she felt her feet being swept off of the ground with quick breezes chilling her face. Rena slowly opened her eyes seeing the sky straight ahead of her. Her eyes widened as she quickly looked down and saw buildings and houses passing by quickly. Rena gave a squeal and turned to her right, finding herself leaning against something warm.

"Afraid of heights?"

Rena's eyes blinked open and saw a guy of probably 18 looking down at her with a devious smirk.

"You're not with Black Ghost... are you?"

"You must crazy if you think I am!" he laughed.

They finally made it to ground in front of a large Victorian household of three stories. Rena gazed around and saw Francoise sitting on the steps with a brown haired boy. They both looked at Rena and her rescuer. Without another thought, Francoise raced up to Rena and threw herself at her, thanking God for her safety.

"Rena!! You're not hurt are you?"

She shook her head and looked over at the red head. He smirked again. Francoise looked up at him with a gentle smile.

"Thanks for getting her out. Black Ghost would have gotten her if you didn't."

After Francoise told them to meet her inside to meet everyone else, Rena and the red head stood in place until she left inside. As they walked towards the stone steps, Rena turned to him and smiled.

"Thanks for saving me." She said blushing lightly.

He smiled at her and opened the door for her. "No problem, didn't want you getting caught by him..."

Rena paused after he had closed the door. She quickly faced him and snickered.

"Oh, geez, I didn't introduce myself! I'm Rena Cascade."

His smile grew slightly. "Jet Link. Nice ta meetcha, Rena."

~*~

After meeting with everyone else, Rena was asked by Chang to explain how she knew Black Ghost. She felt an uneasy feeling churning in her stomach as Francoise placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Did he...?" Jet arched an eyebrow with curiosity.

Rena turned to Francoise. "The sparks you shot out... did the Black Ghost organization do something to you, Rena?"

She nodded and looked downward. "Y-yeah... they did. You guys can probably take a wild guess."

"Rena," she looked to Francoise. "We were changed too. All of us."

"You don't have to tell us." Said Joe.

Rena shook her head and looked up finally. "No, it's okay..."
