A few days had passed and Meryl, Millie, Vash, Gada and her random black cat were traveling through the desert. It was pretty hot as you might suspect (duh it's a desert).Gada carried a medium sized pack over her shoulders.

"Ms. Gada? What's in your pack?" Millie asked

"My true love" Gada replied

"What's that? Paint thinner?" Meryl asked sarcastically

"Hey what's up you ass? Your head?" Gada replied "I have my weapons in here" she said to Millie.

Meryl was stunned. No one had ever spoken like that to her before. She was at a total loss for words.

"Are we there yet?" Vash asked.

"My sister's house is pretty close. It's in the town of uhh oh where it is? Oh yeah! It's in July."

At the word of July Vash became totally serious.

"Yeah she's a freak though... She's the only one left. How she managed to survive I have no clue" Gada shrugged "Whatever…. We were so close to..." she mumbled.

"So close to what?" asked Millie.

"Oh nothing really" Gada lied.

Back with Taylor and Knives……..

Taylor peaked up the staircase making sure it was safe enough to go up. After a few moments of silence she snuck up to the bed room and peaked in. What she saw was an empty bed and an open window she thought he had left and burst in.

"That bastard! After all I did for him! He just gets up and leaves without saying even a word to me!" she said.

The moment she burst in she could hear Knives laughing in her head

"Fuck your still here aren't you?" she asked out loud.

"I couldn't just leave with out paying my respects" he said and walked out from behind the door his gun pointed at her head.

"I'm honored" she said smiling but still faced the window

"Good job trying to fool me with that lame story" he said "It was all a lie. There is no one better then us plants"

"You're a dick." She said and turned towards him "You are the biggest dickhead I have ever met."

Knives was simply stunned by what she was saying to him. Taylor began walking closer and he could do nothing about it something about her eyes kept him in his place.

"Nothing witty to say?" she asked "Darn" no she as about an inch away from his face.

In an instant she collapsed. On the side of her neck was a dart and an instant after that Knives collapsed as well. Through the window crawled the lowest life form on earth. It was Devlin the only man on the entire planet who wanted Taylor so badly for himself that he would do anything to get her.

"Looks as if I have two hostages now" he said to himself as his lackeys dragged their unconscious bodies out.

Back to Vas and the gang…

IT was silent now. Meryl was pouting; Millie was humming an old tune to herself. Vash was reflecting on life, and Gada was just walking. In the distance a small hut could be seen who it belonged to was a complete mystery but it was still the only building around for miles.

"Hey I think that might be her house." Gada said as she began to run towards it.

"Hey wait!" Millie said following her and then Vash and Meryl joined in.

When they reached thee house it was abandoned. There was some furniture left and a note on the table. It was written in an unknown language though.

"What the hell? What kind of writing is this?" Meryl asked picking it up

"Oh shut up it's from my sister" she said snatching the note. "Dear Sisters, I have moved to July Come visit me you lazy asses. Love always your beautiful wonderful magical sister, Ashley." Gada read "That bitch" was the only other comment she said

"You shouldn't talk about your sister that way Ms. Gada" Millie said.

"Oh I can talk about her al I want. She's won't ever suffer from low self esteem." Gada replied

"Is there any food?" Meryl asked.

"Let's see when this note was dated….. Over a hundred years ago! Great I wonder if the water still works" Gada said walking into the kitchen and ignoring Meryl's question.

Vash had seated himself down on the very old and incredibly dust couch and was still thinking.

The sound of running water could be heard "Oh yeah! She did something right!" Gada shouted. "Come on everyone time to get as much water as you can!"

Millie walked into the kitchen and was holding Meryl's and Vash's canteens. Millie and Gada began to fill them up and talked. What they talked about was Gada's past and Millie being Millie just listened had already decided to not tell anyone else.

"Vash what's wrong?" Meryl asked quietly.

"Nothing" he mumbled

"Are you thinking about July?"

"She had hit the nail right on the head and Vash looked up his eyes held the greatest sorrow ever.

"Vash it wasn't your fault. Knives made you" she offered some support and sat down next to him.

Vash couldn't respond he stared at the ground still thinking.
