Our story continues:
Rei and Chad rounded the curb, Chad still had a rather large bump on his head and Rei was still fuming. Dimmer turned the other corner just in time to see the pull up.
"Hey you two. Youmas again?"
"That's the story of my life." Rei sighed irritably. "You two perverts can go talk guy stuff now, I'm going to go get some sleep. Dimmer, if I catch you training tonight, you will die a horrible, horrible death." She walked away, looking dead on her feet.
Dimmer gave Chad a look. "Okay, what did you do now?"
"I umm… nothin'"
"Chad?"
"Dimmer, forget about that. I know who you are, and I know about your past."
"Huh?… Oookay, that was kinda out of the blue…"
"When we were lookin' for who ya might be I had some people on it. I got the information earlier. I just thought you should know that I know."
"And just what do you know Chad?" Dimmer's tone of voice grew just a little bit deeper, and dropped just a few degrees below the freezing point.
"Well… ummm the whole.. rape… like … thing…"
"Oh, okay. But may I ask how?"
"You are officially in two places at once dude. One of you is beside me, the other is still back on your island. Only he's like sixteen or something."
"Hmph, he's got quite a lot a grief ahead of him. Meh, he'll be better for it. Chad? Keep it to yourself okay? I gotta deal with that when the time comes." Dimmer turned to walk into the temple.
"Hey man, it's your life. I will say this though, the girls gotta know something like this man. Ya can't just keep it from them. Especially Rei man. She cares for you, and she cares a lot."
"Look, I just finished going through all this once tonight okay? And for your information, including him, me, Valor, and Sundown, I got four of me running around here. At least the one you found out about doesn't have a bunch of holes in his memory. The other three of us do. Let me deal with this Chad, I really have enough on my plate right now."
"Okay, I didn't understand even half of that, but if you got too much on your plate than let us help you with it!"
"You know what? I think I'll take Rei's advice. I'm going to bed. You wanna tell the girls about me? That's fine. Go ahead. I have no idea why you're being so damn pushy about this. But you can do just as well without me there! Got it!" Dimmer stomped up to his room. (it was a lot of stomping, those there are a LOT of freakin steps to that temple…)
Chad was more than a little disturbed seeing Dimmer even a little upset. He was usually so understanding and listening to all sides before doing anything, anger was only ever in Sundown's vocabulary, not Dimmer's. He didn't wanna tell the girls without hearing Dimmer's side of things first, but as far as he knew Dimmer raped a young girl at a young age, and he was trying to hide it in his past. Dimmer was his best friend, he was sure the Dimmer he knew would never do anything like that. But people change and even Dimmer said he went through a lot of changes in his past. It all boiled down to this.
"Shit."
He put his helmet back on, and took off. Chad needed a long drive to think things over.
Dimmer paced back and forth in his room. Rei was out like a light. Was she mad at him? Did Chad already tell her? What story did Chad get? Was the life he lived in this world the same as the one he lived in the other? Damn! Just when I thought I was getting things to go my way. Talking to the girls was the first step. If he could trust them, he would talk. It was that simple, but he couldn't talk to them could he? Of course not, it's obvious Chad was upset at the news. But the way Chad was, is everything is in people's past, judge how they are by how they treat others. Did Chad believe them? Sixteen. That's right around the age. That's probably the age he was in this body. Sometimes he really missed being 22…
"I'll tell her." It was decided. Dimmer paced back to the door, and than back to the window. It was the third time he had come to that decision, but his feet kept bringing him back here.
"What am I doing?" He sighed and flopped down onto his bed. He turned over to lie on his back. His eyes showed no hint of closing. And he got up off the bed.
"Ugh." Once again he made toward his door, and to his surprise he found his hand hesitating on the handle of the door. It was the furthest progress he made tonight.
Rei watched out her window as Chad drove away. The perverted, sweet nutball, she wondered where he was headed. He had gotten so secretive lately.
He never talked about his family, or his life before he slept on their steps that night they found them. And she had gotten more than a little bit suspicious about all the "connections" he seems to have been getting, let alone the weaponry. She couldn't help but think he's into something illegal. It didn't matter though. He was using it for good purposes wasn't he?
"I wonder if Dimmer knows anything… probably, the two are like brothers. I wish I had that close of an attachment to either of them. I thought I was close to Chad once, that all seemed to change when Dimmer started living here. The one who broke fate, and the one who fights to restore it." She sighed. "Valor. He is also Valor. He kissed me, And I know it was him. What did he mean like he promised? Is Dimmer gonna promise me something? The power to erase memories. Against foes like ours, what use could that power be?"
"It is the power of time. Do not be foolish. It is very powerful. Just as powerful as mine."
"As powerful as yours? Wait who?" She looked quickly around, and their sat Dimmer's black, swivel bladed dagger, lying on her night table.
"Dimmer's dagger…but how?"
"I am Sundown. I am also who you know to be Dimmer. I am the one who broke fate. You can thank me later." You could almost hear the smirk.
"You? Why?! Why would you do this?"
"I told you, you'll thank me later. Valor doesn't know what he's doing. Fate will be a friend simply because he's on his side. A moment of doubt and Fate will have to take his life, and than he will restart this dimension, Fate has done so twice already. The first, when I and you first met, in a different dimension so long ago. And he did it again when Valor first came here and met you. You knew him as Arkand than, but you wouldn't remember, you're already a victim to his power over memories."
"What?! What are you talking about?!"
"The Council of Fate, either Fate or the Council for short. They don't care which. They think that they are now a god. I plan on freeing them of this illusion. After all gods are immortal. If they're killed, they aren't really a god."
"Why do you want to destroy fate so very badly?!"
"You'll see soon enough. I will destroy it for Dimmer, it's the only way."
"Leave Dimmer out of this! And the only way for what?!"
"The only way I can be with you. Rei, you must trust me, I look out for both of us, remember I, also, am Dimmer. Certainly you can see that?" at this the dagger created a transparent version of Sundown.
The holographic image took off its scarf and hat. It was an older version of Dimmer alright. He wasn't twenty, he had to be about thirty. The tip of his hair had started graying.
"But how?"
"I can't explain to you now Rei. I've waited a long time for this chance Rei. I made a promise to you the second time we met. You don't remember because it was before this dimension was restarted the second time.
"And this is the third?"
"Yes. Your universe is now an endless cycle, when it ends it restarts. Simple. But what if someone interfered with this process? That is how you and I first met. In the first dimension, Beryl won, and things had to be restarted. I didn't know what I got myself into. That dimension's memories are lost to me. They belong to either Dimmer or Valor."
"But Dimmer doesn't know anything about this!"
"All of his memories have not come back yet. He just believes they have."
"Why haven't you told us sooner?"
"I felt no need to. Now I've felt Valor's interference, help me destroy fate."
"Never! Fate is going to help us destroy Beryl! We have to or our world will end, or be enslaved!"
"Yes with fate's help you will defeat Beryl, but you will lose Dimmer in the bargain."
"What do you mean?!"
"Dimmer is coming. I must leave."
The image blurred and receded into the dagger as it continued to lean unassuming up against her wall.
Rei was left in wonder… If they use fate to defeat Beryl, they would lose Dimmer? How? Will he die in the battles? How does Sundown know all this? Is he from the future like Valor?
"Rei? Are you awake?"
"Yes Dimmer. You can come in. What is it?" She tried to appear as if nothing happened. Dimmer didn't need anymore on his mind. He would figure out a way to get rid of his transformation into Sundown once and for all. Sundown was a known liar, he was probably just trying to save himself. She tried to put the whole encounter to the back of her mind. She didn't realize then how easy that would be after what Dimmer had decided to tell her
.
Dimmer slid the door open, and shut it after he entered. "I'm surprised you were awake. I thought you said you were going to bed early."
"I couldn't sleep."
"Don't tell me your getting it too, the last thing we need is the two of us up with insomnia."
"I don't think I'll have to worry about that," she yawned tired after the fight and emotional drain from talking to Sundown.
"I've gotta talk to you… and the rest of the girls."
Rei looked up to see Dimmer staring down at her. The hair clasps glinted in the moonlight from her window. The seriousness of his gaze startled her. It was the same look given by Sundown not five minutes before. What did that mean? Was Sundown really who he said he was?
"You told me earlier, I should talk about my past. I think its time, but I'm not sure where to begin."
Rei's mind went blank for a second as she stared at him stunned. "He's going to tell me! He's actually going to tell me! … why do I feel so nervous?" she tried calm the flutters in her stomach.
"O…ooh" the first syllable came out as a squeak. " Ahem, I mean okay than, wow about we start with your name? Your real one."
"My name is Arkand Kitana, and just as Amy guessed I'm from Cape Breton Island, Eastern Canada."
"Well, Arkand, I'm glad that's settled."
"Please, call me Dimmer." He smiled as he introduced himself as if for the first time. He stretched out his hand with a small smile.
"Okay Dimmer." Rei laughed a bit, the stress from before seeping away and taking most of her weariness with it. She shook his hand, how did he do that anyway? He always tried to put in a joke no matter how serious he was being. And it always worked, it always softened the tension in the room. Or maybe it was just her? "Not now Rei, he's actually answering questions here, think of something." She asked the first thing that came to her head.
"Why do you go by Dimmer anyway?"
"The street lamps."
"Street lamps?"
"Yup. Back at home the boys all noticed that street lamps started turning out on me whenever I walked down a street, it made everything "dimmer".
"Is that all there is to it?"
"Well…" Dimmer sighed, "I really don't like my real name."
"I can't understand why. Arkand sounds kind of cool to me."
"Yeah, I guess. But that name represents the person who I was, not the person I am."
"Dimmer… Who was Arkand?" Looks like this is it. He found his place to start. She listened closely.
"… Arkand… no. "I" was a kid without a care in the world. Well, not to say without a care. I was beat up everyday since I moved to Cape Breton until I got fast enough to get away."
"You were being bullied?"
"Just at first, it wasn't until later that they actually went out of their way to come after me."
"Sounds like something happened to bring this about. Is this about the rumors you mentioned before?"
"Yes. Thanks to them, People thought I was gay."
"So?"
Dimmer smiled at Rei. She had really no idea. "Being gay isn't looked too much as such a bad thing here I guess, but believe me to the gangs in my neighborhood, the last thing they would ever say was "so?".
"What do you mean?"
"Rei, I was an outcast as it was. People didn't like me. When rumor went around that I was gay it got worst."
"Dimmer…" Rei looked down at her feet. She knew what it was like to be different, to be an outcast. Her closest friends, until Chad came along, were her crows. She still found them closer than most. People were a little spooked by her, so she never had any friends. Than Chad came along. She was mostly annoyed with him to start, but that was because he was a person. She didn't know how to be friends, and to meet one who wanted to be her friend despite what the rumors said was an entire new experience for her.
Than, there was Serena. She would never judge just by what she heard. She always believed there was good in everyone, and for it she had grown popular with everyone. Her friendly attitude had reached the hearts of all who knew her. Even herself, despite their many fights. She respected her as a leader, but mostly, she loved her as a friend. She got along well with all the other scouts, but she never had a closer human friend than Serena or Chad.
Dimmer must've had a similar experience. She looked back up to him.
"Why did they think you were gay anyway?"
"The rumor was spread by two old friends. You have to know the way I think Rei. Worthless, I liked her, but only because she was my friend when few would admit to being so. Maybe I liked her too much?"
"I don't think I understand…" Dimmer is secretive even when he's being open. Why is he so cryptic sometimes…
"Rei. I was the worst person around. People didn't like me, and would go around looking for me just to beat the hell outta me for fun. But for some reason one girl took notice of me. I could never tell you why, her reasons are her own.
"But Dimmer, you aren't anything bad, why would people hate you so much?"
"I was the new guy, and a wuss. Cape Breton respects strength, and people who stand up for themselves. I never did, never saw the point of it. If I fought like the way they wanted me too I would lose no matter what."
"Now that doesn't sound right…"
"Think again Rei. I get nauseous at the sight of blood remember? I punch them, they bleed, I throw up, and get the shit kicked outta me while spewing up on the ground. Either that or They punch me, I bleed, I throw up, They beat the piss outta me while I spew on the ground. Beginning to see the pattern here?"
"Yeah, I see how that could hold you back."
"Running was the only thing that made sense. So I ran. I gave up without trying even once, yet I still had friends, only 2 at the time, but they were close to me."
"One was her huh?"
"One night she asked me out. I said no."
Rei looked back down at her feet. "Why? You obviously liked her. And she sounds nice."
"I couldn't date anyone back there. I don't hate anyone enough. I could never put her through that."
"Huh?" Rei looked up with a questioning look."My reputation would proceed her Rei. The moment people would find out. She would soon be getting the same treatment as me. And the fights between the girls were often more brutal than any I've ever been in with the ones between guys. Sure I was left bloody and broken on the ground, but at least I had no real scars, and most of my hair left. Fights between girls often left you with all of the above. I know the trouble she'd get herself into by going out with me, even if she wasn't willing to admit it. I knew she'd have the courage to stand up for me even when I didn't have enough to stand up for myself. She would be hurt, and all I'd be able to do is throw up at the sight of her blood on the ground. I liked her too much to let something like that happen. There was no one I hated enough to put through that kind of punishment. I couldn't even wish it on those that caused it. So like I said: "Who could I possibly hate enough to let them love me?"
"Dimmer…" Shadows hid Rei's expression. When Dimmer looked to see what she would say, he could read nothing from her, so what came next was a complete surprise.
She punched him.
She punched him so hard he flew back into her wall. A small trickle of blood ran from his nose as he stumbled back to his feet. Was that real? Had Rei just hit him? The evidence was all around him, but it didn't seem like reality. He thought she'd understand, her more than any of the others, except maybe Amy. Pain. He was familiar with it, more than anything else. He knew it better than any one he was certain. There was a pain he hadn't felt in a long time though. It was a pain from the heart. It was the first time he opened it since the last time it was shattered by Malene. Than Rei had done the same. He stood to his feet. He felt pain before. Physically, she couldn't hurt him, but mentally she might have been able to destroy him.
But not now. He withstood the blow to his heart, but unlike any other fights he couldn't throw a punch of any kind back. She didn't even know half of the story, and already she hated him. Than if that was how it would be…
Rei was seething. Was he so damn blind? That poor girl did everything she could! She was sure she hadn't even heard the rest of the story yet, but she knew already. She knew she probably just hurt Dimmer more than she ever could. He wanted someone to understand him. But understand him was the last thing Rei could do. All she seen was the hurt in that young girl as she watched her friend pounded right in front of her very eyes day after day. "Oh no…" She thought as she watched him stand up, wavering a little. He walked wobbly over to her and fell to his knees though his back was still straight. There was a determined look on his face. It was a look that said… "I don't know what I've done, but you hit me. I must deserve it."
"Why?" It was all she could say as the shadow covering her expression still held.
Dimmer just continued to stare at her.
"Because I deserve it. I always have."
"You bastard! You don't even know what you're talking about!"
"There's gotta be a reason. Just because I don't know it doesn't mean there isn't one. I've never been all that smart."
"Listen to you! I've never been all that smart. I've never been much of a fighter. I've never been all that great with people. Silence, solitude, darkness. They rule my life. I fake happiness to keep my friends happy. I never cry because I'm supposed to be tough. I've never been good at that either. I'm a wimp, I'm a wuss! That's all I ever hear from you!!" The shadow hiding her expression burned away as her anger surged forth, and she picked him up by his shirt collar He never made the attempt to regain his balance, he just let her hold him by his color and waited for whatever she wanted to throw at him next.
"Ever since I met you, you were better than me at everything! Not all that smart?! You learned a new language in two weeks, and how to read it the third! Fighter?! You're only the best any has ever seen! Not good with people, and you're constantly being worried about by all of us, ALL OF US! My grandfather! Chad! Serena! Lita! ME?! You've convinced yourself you're worthless, just so it won't hurt as much when something painful happens! Now answer my question! WHY?!
"I… I don't understand." The bewildered look of confusion covered every feature on his face.
"Of course you don't you've thought yourself so worthless you couldn't see things from her perspective! Why?! You should have let her! She just wanted to protect you from the pain she constantly saw you in!" Rei let go of his collar and he fell back on his knees as before.
"She had seen you were a good person and didn't deserve that Dimmer! Why can't you see that?! Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you let her protect you?" Rei's shouting broke into sobs, "Why wouldn't you let her help protect you from all the pain she always seen you in? She loved you Dimmer…" She got down on her own knees and hugged the stunned boy as she cried into his shoulder.
He didn't know how she had done it, but Rei seen it all. Something he'd been trying to do for years. Malene had turned into a bitch, Russell told him. He never saw, never thought, never could've possibly imagined it. She did it all for him. She wanted to prove to him that she was tough enough to handle the gangs. That she was strong enough for both of them. Even the rumors made sense now. When she found that he still didn't see the truth, she tried to force him to see it by giving him no other alternatives. First gay. No girl would go near him, but she found that it hadn't worked. So rape. She would be the only one to believe him. It was than his life changed. She couldn't have saw the change coming. She didn't know what that saying that had done to him. How was she to know? He never let any sad feelings show. He never let anyone know that even before the rape rumors came in he was in a sort of depression. She didn't know that he nearly threw himself away because of it! He turned into a jerk, and did some soul searching.
You see Dimmer always believed in one thing. Before you stand up for what you believe in and who you are, first figure out just what you believe in, and just who that is.
After that rainy night on the cliff edge, that's exactly what he had done. He was soul searching for years before he found what morals and things he believed in. He was still trying to figure out the second one, but soul searching, he believed, was a life long journey anyway. But the gangs that bothered him, he now found ways around. He "believed," violence may solve some things, but it certainly didn't solve everything. So the people that hated the way he did things judged him harshly. It didn't matter to him, he also believed everyone was entitled to their own opinions. He seen good people come out of bad homes, and bad people come out of good homes, and the opposites of that too. He found friends that were closer than even his own family. People that trusted him more than the rumors, more than his own parents…
Malene couldn't have known what she did for him. She was the reason he was who he was. Whoever that might end up being. He could never thank her enough. He was indebted to her more than he could ever believe, and he never knew just how much until now. And now there was another person he was indebted to.
"She loved you Dimmer…" He heard Rei's voice as a sad whisper in his ear, "And you wouldn't love her back…"
The one who opened his eyes to all of this, had opened his eyes to something else as well. He suffered from his fall, and it was her face he woke up to.
*shot of Rei shaking him on the hospital bed*
The one who always tries to make sure he got enough sleep, before he tires himself out…
*shot of Rei yelling at him to get back to his room*
The one who comes after me…
*shot of Rei looking up at Dimmer as he sang sadly in the tree over looking the ocean*
The one to keep the darkness from my eyes…
*A shot of Rei smiling as she tied the hair clasps in to keep his bangs out of his eyes*
The one to opened my eyes completely…
She kneeled there, still crying silently as it was sinking into his mind.
Malene wasn't the only one who loved him, who wanted to protect him.
Rei felt her shoulders being pushed away to an arms distance. She was so emotionally drained it was only his strong hands that stopped her from falling over completely. She looked to his eyes. She wasn't sure when they'd closed the distance between each other, but they never spoke a word. It was the light in his eyes that told her he finally understood. It was the tears flowing freely that told her that his heart had been opened. It was the kiss they shared that told her that Dimmer had finally learned how to love. Their arms were fiercely wrapped around each other. It was the fact they stayed that way for the rest of the night told her he wanted to remain that way, forever.
THE NEXT MORNING:
Chad had just finished speaking.
"What?! No!"Chad looked up at Amy seriously.
"Why would I lie?" It was more a statement than a question.
"It… it doesn't make sense… Dimmer…" Amy knew it wasn't true. The trouble was it all made too much sense. He was always secretive about his past. But she always assumed it was because something hurt him, not that he hurt someone else.
Not her Dimmer!
Rape? He couldn't have! It was nothing like him, or anything she ever knew him to be. But why would Chad lie? He was his best friend! Her mind told her it was possible, but her heart argued against it with all of its strength.
Darien sat thoughtfully, and decided, like Chad, it didn't matter what past Dimmer had. He was a friend. One that would not betray him or any of his friends. He was above all else honorable.
Lita just looked astonished, than angry. Some things could not be forgiven. She would confront Dimmer about this. If this was true, she would… she would… She didn't know… It just seemed so… so… not Dimmer…
Mina looked down, Dimmer was a jerk, but wasn't that a little bit far? But it could be true. Chad said so. But Chad also pointed out that this reality could be different form the one he was from. Truthfully she had no idea of what to think. It seemed like he didn't want to believe it either. Only Dimmer knew for certain..
They had no idea that Dimmer and Rei now stood in the entrance of the dojo. They heard what Chad had said and now stood watching the scouts reactions. Rei simply cocked an eyebrow at him.
He murmured something about the last rumor, and she understood. He once said his past wasn't dark, just a couple of bad rumors, the first one she knew was being gay. Rape must have been the last one. Okay, that young girl may have went a little too far with that one…
Dimmer looked at Amy. He knew the conflict there. He seen it many times, she wouldn't believe that he had raped anyone. He knew, and a sense of pride grew there. Amy was the first person he'd truly met in this world. He felt more than just friendship.
A sister?
No. Closer.
Family?
Beyond any doubt.
What hurt were the silent, deciding gazes of the others. Those who actually had to decide from logic if he did it or not. It was a look he knew well, seen among all of his friends back home, who were with him during the ordeal, save one. Mike had always believed…
*shot of mike, his dark black hair coming down hiding his cheeks, in his base ball hat smiling and giving a peace sign*
Than there was Mitchell and Katie.
*shot of Katie and her short curly hair only coming down to the base of her neck (only short compared to Dimmer's and Mike's, who looked like twins before Dimmer's hair clasps were put in) smiling and waving, and Mitchell with his arms folded giving a sarcastic looking smirk*
Both of them came after everything that happened, they didn't know everything that went on, but they never believed in the rumors either. That was more than his family could say…
His own parents had that same silent, deciding look when they first found out. His father, always a mountie first. His mother. He just couldn't believe it… it had hurt more than most. He was never close to either of them ever again. Neither had ever figured out why either. It was his surprise when Serena stood up.
Serena stood. "It doesn't make sense, Amy, 'cause we know it isn't true. I don't know about other realities, but if they are anything like the Dimmer I know, it isn't true for them either. I'm not smart. I don't pretend to be either. I don't know about dimensions, despite all of our training, I'm still a bit of a klutz, and almost all my grades are low and below average, but I do know Dimmer would never do anything like that! Everything I ever see in Dimmer. The sad looks, how he smiles just to keep us happy… and when he didn't remember who he was, the happiest person there was around! He loved everyone and everything! Life was just a little more fun whenever he was around."Amy smiled brightly at Serena. She should have known right away. Her heart should guide her in a situation like this, not her mind.
Darien stood up. "Dimmer didn't do it." he stated as if it was obvious. "Hell probably froze over from me saying this, but Serena's right."
"You know what?" Lita stood up among the other two. "You're right. Mina, You don't know Dimmer, but I was here to see it all happen. Dimmer would never do anything of the sort, and Chad do you really think he ever could?"
Chad looked down. "No, I don't. I just wasn't sure what to do when Ken told me this. I thought it was important for each of you to decide yourselves."
"Ken?" Lita looked questioningly at Chad before her thoughts were interrupted
"You know Lita… They say you can tell a lot about someone, by the friends they surround themselves with, and I know I haven't known him very long," Mina stood up as she spoke, "You are the most trusting, and true group of friends I've ever met. How could I believe that of any of you."
Dimmer looked upon the group. Only Chad was still sitting, he smiled, and that was only because the bumb was probably too lazy to stand up. "Thank you Serena," he mouthed the words but did not say them, "you didn't even doubt me for a second."
"Besides…" Mina continued with a smile, "he's kinda cute."
"I AM NOT CUTE!!!"
"Uh oh…" Only Mina and Darien didn't say it with everyone else as Dimmer stood seething at the door.
"You just had to go and say it didn't you…" an exhausted Serena managed to wheeze out to a just as exhausted Mina.
"I didn't know!"
"Hey! No talking! Ten more laps. If you guys can't out last me, than you cannot beat me!"
" If you can't beat one guy, how can you expect to take on a whole other dimension?!" An angry Dimmer called out behind them as he jogged along and had hardly broken a sweat yet. "We'll see just how cute I am after this now won't we?" He grinned maniacally.
Sailor Moon says: "You know trust is really important between friends, but Faith can be worth even more. There are lots of people out there that have no faith in themselves, and worse, they haven't met anyone else who has faith in them. It's very important to remember that not everything you hear is true, if it doesn't sound right, and you heard it from bad rumors, questionable sources, or just plain old gossip it probably isn't true.
"Great now if she'll only take her own advice."
"Hey Luna! I'm a friend with the school's informant of the latest gossip. With Melvin around how can I help it? Oh well, Sailor Moon says!
Reality check:
Mike, Mitchell, and Katie blinked.
"I had no idea…" Katie continued to stare as the commercials came on.
"I knew he was depressed… but I didn't know he felt like that… He was even better at keeping to himself than I thought. I should have said something…"
"It doesn't matter Mike." Mitchell got up and shut the TV off. "They managed to fix him up, he's got Rei now. She'll help him through anything. He's got a lot of other good friends there too. But now we have to look out for ourselves."
Both Katie and Mike looked up at him. What did he mean by that?
He looked back at them, his usual stern look had somehow managed to get a little harder. "He said Katie's name. I think that Malene's hate mail is gonna go down big time, but since he actually mentioned us all again by name. Not only that, but also they gave pictures of us. It's too obvious who we are now."
"Meow? So that's what I look like anime style…" Katie grinned. Mike laughed and Mitchell shook his head. He wasn't as fanatical over anime as his friends. Last week's episode Mike was spelling trouble for Dimmer, this week, it was spelling trouble for them…
