Urd and Peorth both entered the living room to find Mara glued to the t.v. "Congrats..." She mumbeled, still not taking her eyes off the screen.
Urd frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Peorth, tough, understood imediately. Mara had seen them. 'It was Urd who kissed me, she probably thinks that...' "Shit.." She mumbeled. Taking a deep breath, she wanted to explain what happened, but didn't came up with anything better than.... "It's not what you think, I asked her."
Now Urd understood too. "Mara?" She gulped. "You know what happened?"
The demon sprang up and glared at the both of them. "How could I not? From where you were standing, anyone could've seen you."
"You saw us, but have you *heard* the converstation?" Urd insisted.
"Of course not, but it was damn obvious, you were kissing goddamit! You think I'm stupid?" Mara let herself fall back on the floor, she switched the channel. Her back was facing them. "Now get yourself a room and leave me alone." She grumbeled.
"Mara..." Urd began once again, taking a step foward and extending her hand, to rest it on her friend's shoulder.
The demon violently brushed it as she twisted back and glared icily at Urd. "Just go, ok? I don't care what you do, it's your life after all." She almost growled it. Then she returned to her program, leaving the two goddesses under the shock.
Peorth de-froze first and, taking Urd's hand, she lead her out. "You'll have to do something and quick." She made it sound like a war plan. "If you don't you'll regret it."
Urd wasn't listening to her though. "She hates me... I can't believe it..." She whispered, staring into the distance.
"She's mad at you, but it's because of me!" Peorth tried to reason the other goddess. It didn't seemed to work though, as her friend kept staring into space. "Brace yourself!" She suddenly shouted.
Urd finaly came back to earth. "What should I do?" She pleaded softly for an answer. "Please, help me... I can't live without her anymore, Peorth."
The goddess sighed. "You'll have to tell her, Urd... that you're in love with her." They began walking toward Urd's room. "Look, just think about what you'll tell her and meanwhile, I'll convince her to talk with you, ok? "
Urd stared at her incredulously. "How will you do that? .. and why would you do that?"
"Because I want you to be happy. And if she makes you happy... then so be it." Peorth answered calmly. "I don't know how yet, but I'll do anything I can to make her talk with you."
"Thank you..." Urd smiled as she headed to her room.
Peorth watch her go and walked back to the living room.

Megumi looked around, waiting patiently for her brother and Belldandy.
"They're late." She said, glancing at her watch before looking around some more. Finally, she spotted Keiichi's bike. He braked next to her and he and Belldandy retiered their helmets. "Hey" She greeted them, smiling.
"Hi" Keiichi answered and Belldandy smiled warmly.
Megumi pointed the cafe she was parked in front of. "Let's go sit for a coffe." She eyed Belldandy "...or tea." She smiled, knowing how fond of tea the woman was.
****
They sat at the round table and ordered their drinks. Megumi rested her head in her hands. "So? Who are you?"
Belldandy glanced at Keiichi who sighed and recluantly approved. "Tell her."
She smiled warmly. "I'm a goddess."
Megumi, who had been drinking her tea, paused, raised her eyebrows, swallowed her drink and calmly deposed the cup back on the table. "Excuse me, you're... what?"
"I'm a goddess." She repeated with the same smile playing across her features.
Megumi frowned and closed her eyes. Keiichi waited nervously for his sister's reation. Megumi tought the events all over again and ended up with only one answer. "Alright then." She smiled.
Keiichi's jaw dropped. "You believe us??? You believe something as crazy as her being a goddess?!"
Megumi stared at Belldandy. "Well yea, she wouldn't lie, right Bell?"
The goddess shook her head. "Being a first class goddess, I can't lie." She then resumed sipping her tea.
"See?" Megumi crossed her arms.
"I know, I know." He buried his head in his hands. Staying silent a moment, he paused a moment. He looked back up at his sister. "I just didn't thought you'd believe us."
"From what I've seen yet, anything could have been possible." Megumi said matter of factly.
"I know, but still.." He sighed.
Megumi turned to Belldandy. "So, why don't you tell me how you *really* met?"
The goddess deposed her cup of tea. "Sure." She smiled.

Peorth noted it was starting to get dark outside as she quietly entered the living room. The tv was still on, but Mara had fallen asleep watching it, her back was facing Peorth. She observed the demon's sleeping form. 'She didn't healed her wounds.' The goddess noted.
"Wakey wakey." Peorth bent down next to Mara.
The demon didn't stirred. Peorth frowned, and turned her on her back to take a look at her face. She gasped when she saw Mara was crying in her sleep; tears were slowly running down her bruised cheeks. Peorth was begining to be ashamed of herself. 'How could I do that?' She asked herself. 'I'm supposed to be on the good side...' She brushed her hand against one particulary nasty-looking bruise, erasing it in the process.
She sat next to Mara and placed the demon's head in her lap. "Please pardon me." She whispered as she stroked the blond hair. With each stroke, the wounds the demon beared dissapeared a little more until they were totally inexistant. Peorth sighed, relieved.
'Now, that the physical pain's gone, let's try and heal the mental pain.' She joined her forehead sign with Mara's. 'Let's see what's in your mind.' Was the last thing the goddess thought before entering the demon's dreams.
****
Mara's mind was chaotic. Old souvenirs and memories were scattered here and there; some of them were more clear than others, but finally, Peorth made it to the dream. 'Ok, now lets see....' With that, she entered the strange bubble.
