A/N:Just so you know, I originally wrote this for another website where the chapters had to be short, and afterward, when I decided to post it here, I wasn't really in the mood to edit it so I know it isn't the best.

Part 19: A Life Once Lived

Lily was running around the house trying to find the perfect back to school clothes and the perfect everything else too. She ran into more than one wall, nearly tripped over a soccer ball, and nearly fell down the stairs at least twice.

"Stupid black shirt!" She called out throwing it to the ground beside her.

"Stupid 7:45 clock!" She screamed as it began making noise.

She was in too much of a hurry for this nonsense! She sat in her chair to take a break, and stared at a small piece of paper hanging on her wall; Jessica's email address. Jessica might not be moving here, she might still be in the hospital, she might be going back to school, but they could still keep in touch! Lily's stomach fluttered at the thought of being able to actually 'talk' to someone she knew like a twin...or in this case actually was a twin. She jumped at the sound of her dad's voice, and ran out the door on the que of:

"Would you like a ride to school, Lil?"

She didn't need a ride today was to perfect, and even if she was late who would care? The strange part was that she still felt that really weird motion from her dream, less intensely but still there. She even had her abilities from the dream, the one's she'd taught herself.

Her parents gave her as much space as she wanted, and home life was perfect. No one could make her sad, and she was about to see her friends, to make things even better! She heard the saying 'nothing is perfect' on more than one occasion, especially from Travis. But this day was perfect; she doubted anything in history had been more perfect.

"So how's life, Lily?" Ray asked at lunch.

"Well...I hate my parents for what they did, I've had a nightmare recently, and I'll never see Jessica again. LIFE COULDN'T BE MORE PERFECT!" Lily screamed, and was greeted by stares from other tables.

"Tone it down a bit, at this rate we won't even get to talk about today's RFR." Robbie said.

"Can't you tell she's happy?" Ray asked.

"So Jessica's fine?" Travis asked.

"I would have thought that you, of all people, Swami, would be able to figure that out." Lily said.

They stared at her.

"Did you just call me Swami?" Travis asked.

"OH YEAH, point for the Raymister!" Ray said.

Robbie began laughing. "Well, Swami, looks like you have a new nickname."

"Don't call me Swami, I don't like it." Travis said.

"So?" They asked jokingly.

Several days later...

"You're listening to..." Robbie began.

"Radio." Ray said.

"Free." Travis chimed in.

"Roscoe!" Lily finished.

"Yes it's true, and I'd like to be the first to say...Welcome back Shadylane!" Robbie said.

"My break was nice, but it's good to be home." Lily said.

"Home as in RFR right?" Travis asked.

"You know it!" Lily said.

"Hey, when's my break?" Ray asked, and Lily punched him.

"Here's a song for this joyous welcome back shady occasion!" Robbie said.

They removed their headphones.

"You seem different." Robbie said

"Sorry, I guess Jessica sorta rubbed off on me." Lily explained.

"Sorta?" Ray asked.

"So did you bring a picture of her?" Travis asked.

"Here." She tossed it to him gently, and it fluttered in the air a few inches above his head.

"Wow is that her...and you?" He asked.

"Yup." Lily replied.

"You look so...so...so alike." Robbie said.

"What do you expect?" Ray asked.

"I guess I'm just surprised and a little sad. I always thought there was only one Shady Lane."

"Come over to my house after the show, I want to show you guys something." Lily said.
