A/N: I have a feeling that I confused lots and lots of people. or whoever reads this, anyways… but, fear not! this is going to take lots of explaining, and I realized this before I began, so I hope you don't hate me ^^;; oh, and… this chapter is very, very short. I really wanted to separate the next two events, although I might smash them together later. So, I'm uploading this shortness now, at nine-ish.

Kit : I know… what is up with that game being so hard to explain? it makes perfect sense to me. Awesome name… and I meant stop the story arc, not the whole shindig. But I won't… and you can have some virtual pocky (or an éclair if you want)
Protectress of Dalidon: thank you so much. I have tampered with the mythology, of course. Gaia was the mother of Rhea and Kronos, who were the parents of Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter. *deals virtual pocky*

D/C: I still don't own the matrix.

Final Notes: never fear, pan is not going to be a mary sue—for you touchy people.

Pandora the Brave

Chapter 12

Pandora sighed. She was alone and bored again.

­            "Twins, I need you to come with me. We have some very important things to discuss," Persephone had said before she even stepped all the way into the room. "Pandora, you have to go back to your room now. This is an adults-only meeting." Pandora had made every face and gesture to prevent her exclusion, but Persephone had seen none of it. She had been too busy shuffling the room into order and gathering up the cards. They hadn't even finished the game. As Persephone left with the Twins, Pandora had only barely heard her say, "You have visitors."

            Maybe she had imagined it.

            Wanting to be sure, Pandora followed them. She crept after them, hidden on the ceiling.

            "Is this about Pandora and our little jailbreak operation?" One had asked as they swiftly walked down the hallway.

            "Because we already paid for that," Two had said.

            Pandora hadn't waited for Persephone's answer. After that, she hadn't cared about whatever it was calling them away; she had completely forgotten about the mysterious visitors. All she had wanted to know was what they meant by jailbreak. Could they have tried to get her out?
            Pandora had dropped from the ceiling, running forward to stop them. She had had tears in her eyes, she was so happy. When they told her how they had tried to break her out of the dungeon, she had actually cried, and they had all hugged. Persephone had then sent her back to her room, "for safety."

Pandora still did not understand what that meant, but it did not matter to her. She might have been bored, and she might have been alone, but she knew that her family had never forgotten her. Even though she hadn't seen it, they had always been there for her. It was like a great weight off her shoulders, to know that she was really loved. Ever since the Merovingian had locked her downstairs for three weeks, she had had the feeling that Persephone and the Twins had not really cared for her at all. Pandora was glad she was apart of a family, with Persephone as her mother and the Twins as brothers or uncles. Families were always there for one another, and she felt that she needed to be there for them, too.

Pandora rolled off her bed and crawled over to a set of shelves. She pulled out some art supplies and spread them out. She was going to make cards.

~MnI~
Awww, it's a sappy chapter… I have my reasons. Next chapter, you'll see. And next chapter, everything will make sense, or most things at least. I have chemistry again tomorrow so I might, emphasis on might, be able to write/post. But don't ever expect me to post so often again. that was like, an anomaly. Hehe. This chapter does not do this scene justice at all, but it would be another two weeks before I posted again if I waited. I know I'm gonna regret this, but you can feel free to im me or email me and bug me into finishing chapters. Please review, they make me so happy, you have no idea. I have this little song I sing when I get reviews… hehe, and reviewers get … virtual pocky!!! yay!
