Summary: Five years after a broken engagement, Andros visits Tommy and his new team. What he finds there, he couldn't even imagine in his wildest dreams.
Phantom Rogue: Blue it is. Oh, Callie and Zey WILL meet someday, but Andros didn't die when Ashley left, he's just been dying ever since, but it doesn't seem to hurry up. Maybe it's got something to do with what I've got planned for him. :P
MaxCobra: Well, Tommy will take on Jason's advice, call Aisha, get Kim's phone-number, talk thinks over get back together, and live happily ever after. He'll have the easy road :P There might be a little Kira/Trent in this, but it'll only be hints, the other two guys will not have romantic relationships in the story. (Maybe they have girlfriends when I'm not getting them in the story :P)
Juzblue: Glad you like it. We got our project finished early yesterday, but I still got night-work out of this chapter since my train was being a bother and I needed to cook my own dinner and all.
PowrRangrFreeek: Thanks, I always try to.
Arwennicole: Will you please tell me who you think Anna is? I'd love to know what I'm making my readers believe. I love the ending too, it just seemed so perfect when it popped into my head.
Serenitylovegod: I hate early mornings, but the reviews it produces are fun!
The-power-of-love: ALWAYS:P
XRachX: We must definitely club together. If you go back to the eighth chapter, you might find it changed a little bit. Jenny finally sent it back. She FORGOT! Oh well. Callie realistic? You like her or not? Glad you like the interaction, I try the hardest. Addictively good? WOW!
JDPhoenix: No, you're right, no body is safe! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! I CAN LEGALY BE BEHIND THE WHEEL! LEAVE EARTH WHILE YOU CAN! Yeah, poor them, it's going to get worse for some, promise. :P
The real vampire: Did I insult you? Sorry! Didn't mean to! I'm not giving away anything about Andros's future!
Jenny: Nah, I'm not mad at you. It happens. You had a birthday-party yesterday, right? How was it? Had fun? Bet is was better than selling mags. :P
Mz. Daydream: Yeah, well, some kids need to be annoying! Andros thinks he can run from them, well, he'll learn that's impossible! Not saying anything about Anna. Just read the story.
Melpers: Yeah, you infected Jenny, poor girl. I'll see if I can get her to go to hospital the moment I talk to her again. Yeah I know what scrubs are, have fun taking control of Jenny. Jenny's parents? Anna and … I'M NOT TELLING!
Not Always The End
Chapter 9
Kira sighed as she watched Jenny sulk in the corner of the room – sulking over not having Anna around.
"You want to go to the park?" Kira suggested.
"No."
"How about we play ball outside?"
"No."
"Play with your toys?"
"No."
"Then what do you want?"
"To go to the park with my mommy!" Jenny declared, holding her head high.
"Mommy's at work, sweetheart, she can't go to the park with you." Kira tried to reason with the girl.
"Mommy always got to work or go to school. She never has time for me. She doesn't love me." Jenny muttered, pouting.
"That's not true. You're mommy works so hard because she loves you." Kira told her.
"If she loved me, she'd stay home and play with me." Jenny snapped back, a tear running down her cheek again.
"Oh, sweetie." Kira sighed and walked over to her, wrapping Jenny into her arms. "You're mommy loves you very, very much and she works so hard so she can keep you with her. If she wouldn't you would be taken away from her and some other family would take you in."
"I don't want another family!" Jenny cried. "I want my mommy."
"I know, sweetheart, I know." Kira coaxed, rubbing Jenny's back as she cried in to her shoulder. "You know what. How about we take Hailey up onto her offer and go to the Cyberspace. Maybe we can get a free smoothie out of it. Okay? Whaddya say?"
Jenny pulled back and looked at Kira with teary eyes before nodding. Kira got up and picked up her cell-phone from the coffee table. She entered its phonebook and immediately found the number she needed, pressing the call button, the phone dialled.
When the phone was picked up a familiar voice answered.
"Hey Conner, it's me. You going to the Cyberspace today?" Kira asked as she watched Jenny's face light up. "Oh, you were just about to go, great. Could you please make a detour and pick Jenny and me up? … Thanks, you're a great friend. Bye."
"Conner will be here to pick us up in 5 minutes. Where're your shoes?" Kira said, turning back to Jenny.
Jenny scrambled to her feet and ran into the hall, returning with her shoes. She stopped in front of Kira and held out her shoes.
"Help me?" She requested.
"Does your mother help you?" Kira asked and Jenny shook her head with a sad face. "Well than, show me how good you are at tying shoelaces, I'm sure your mom thinks you're a pro."
Jenny beamed and dropped down to the floor carefully pulling her shoes on her feet and tying the laces. She was barely finished when a car honked outside. Kira pulled her and Jenny's jackets off the hooks and handed Jenny's to her.
"You only have to put it on, leave the zipper open." Kira told her, doing the same thing.
Jenny nodded happily and did as she was told before bouncing out the door to Conner's car. Kira helped her into the backseat, fastened her seatbelt and got into the seat next to Conner.
"Let's go." She smiled at Conner and Jenny let out a happy exclamation.
Conner put the car in gear and drove away.
Ten minutes later
Jenny happily bounced to the entrance of the Cyberspace on Kira's hand, dragging her poor baby-sitter forward. Once inside, Jenny stopped short in her tracks and looked around in awe.
Kira looked around too, hoping to spot her friends. It shocked her when she spotted Andros's stripped hair with Hailey and Tommy. The real surprise was when she realized they were accompanied by Jason and Callie.
"Come on, Jenny." Kira smiled mischievously, tugging on Jenny's hand. "Let's got get you a friend."
"A friend?" Jenny asked curiously.
"You'll see."
Jenny nodded and followed Kira. When she spotted Jason and Callie, she shyly hid behind Kira's leg, causing Kira to laugh a little.
"Hey, I haven't seen you here in a while Dr. O. What lured you out of the house?" Kira joked.
"A wide-awake almost 7 year old girl on an early Saturday morning." Tommy replied, rubbing his eyes for the show.
"Hey, Jason, Callie, long time no seen. This is Jenny." She said, taking a step aside. "She's my baby-sit kid."
Jenny was staring at the floor, her cheeks glowing bright red as she scuffled her foot a little.
"You two were right." Jason told Tommy and Andros. "She is adorable."
The words made Jenny's head snap up and she stared at Jason, who smiled at her.
"Hey, I'm Jason and this is my daughter Callie."
Jenny looked at Callie and looked down to the floor again.
"Go on, Jenny, Callie doesn't bite." Kira coaxed the young girl.
Jenny nodded and tentatively moved closer to Callie, who couldn't look happier to have found a friend. They moment Jenny looked up to meet Callie's eyes, her shyness seemed to melt away and the two started blabbing happily, talking about everything and nothing.
"Well, that should keep her off my hands for a while." Jason grinned relieved. "Tell me, what have you been up to, Kira? Any new songs written?"
"Not yet, but I'm working on it. Dr. O and bug-eye have been keeping me too busy with homework and you know who doesn't really help much either now he's decided to attack the city again." Kira sighed.
"Tommy!" Jason exclaimed in mock horror. "How can you do that to this poor girl! Giving kids homework, you disappoint me man. You betrayed me."
"Grow up, Jason." Tommy shot back.
"I seemed to remember someone telling me students and homework were like good and evil, they'll never get along." Andros cut in. "I believe it was Carlos."
"Carlos is crazy." Tommy stated simply. "But you're right, I don't think they'll ever get along, nor will me and homework. Remember I actually have to grade those essays in my free time."
"You decided to be a teacher!" Andros and Jason retorted at the same time, laughing.
Just then a police officer in uniform entered and the whole café fell silent.
"What?" The officer asked, noticing everyone was staring at him. "I just came in to get a coffee. I don't believe that's a crime, now is it?"
The kids in the room started to snigger and the officer walked up to the counter to get his coffee. His voice had sounded familiar to Andros, though and looking at Tommy, he noticed he wasn't the only one. The officer didn't seem to spot them as he walked close past their table, but the occupants recognized him.
"Adam." The three men concluded at once.
"Uncle Adam!" A small voice rang from close by, catching the officer's attention.
"Well, well, isn't that my adorable niece." The man grinned, picking Jenny up and giving her a hug. "I see you found yourself a friend."
"Hey, Uncle Adam." Callie said tentatively.
"What brings you two here?" He wanted to know.
Together Jenny and Callie pointed to the table Tommy, Andros and Jason sat, Kira still standing with them. His mind took a moment to progress the information and he smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry guys, didn't see you there. How are you all?" Adam asked his friends.
"You know Jenny?" Was the only thing that left Tommy's mouth.
Suddenly Adam seemed very uncomfortable.
