To Mari who said : "Making Sydney the villain and your OC the protagonist is really not the way to go." 1) Never did I say Sydney was a villan, just that she dated one for a while. :p 2) This fic is about Elle, my OC. I'm not the only one to write a fic that is about an OC. But thanks for leaving a review.

"Oh, come on. You have seriously never ever seen it?" Elle was asking Nadia, as Syd opened the door and walked into the apartment that she shared with Nadia. She didn't know what her half-sister thought was so great about Elle. This was like the 3 night this week that Syd got home and they were already there acting like a couple of teenagers. Eating junk food, talking about hot actors and all that.
"No, I have never seen Wayne's world 1 or 2." Nadia told her, as she went through some bags on the floor. Syd would bet an arm that wasn't Nadia's stuff. Elle seemed to have no problem with money these days. Wonder where that was coming from.
"Well, that just won't do. You have to see them. You just can not NOT watch it. It's hilarious. Oh, Syd, hi!" Elle told her, before noticing Syd standing close to the front door and waves at her. Sydney walks closer to them and sits down. She looked at Elle with untrusting eyes and Elle looked at her with those ever-bouncy&happy-look in her eyes. How could she always have that look? No way was she so happy all the time.
"Hi, Syd. Me and Elle are going out tonight with Weiss and Ryan. Why don't you and Vaughn join us. Going to dinner and something maybe more later on." Nadia told her, smiling and picking up a black knit suit jacket that has some kinda silvery, glittery, sparkling thing on it too.
"Vaughn's on a mission. He won't be home until tomorrow. You just go without us. On a shopping spree today, Elle?" Syd asked her, directing the conversation to Gabrielle. That got Syd a glimpse of annoyance in her otherwise happy looking eyes.
"Not really. Just needed some retail therapy. Also I think I've been infected with suit-obsession from my brother. He can be such a dork." Elle told them, laughing while taking clothes from a bag and handing them to Syd. It was the pants to go with the black suit-jacket and a violet satin pants-suit.
"Syd, the purple one is D&G Dolce & Gabbana. How cool is that?" Nadia told her, as Syd looked at the stuff. "Wait, did you say your brother? I didn't know you had one. I thought you were an only child." She told her, puzzled at that confession.
"Well, he's a newly discovered one." Elle told them, grinning at the though. DNA test and all, sure could be faked but why bother. Plus, he really had down the 'annoying brother' part down.
"Is that perhaps a rich 'brother'? Is that where you were for three weeks." Sydney asked her, putting back Elle's purchases and then looking at her all 'yeah, right' look on her face. Nadia rolled her eyes and stood up to go et ready for the dinner out.
"What the hell is your problem? Is it so hard to believe that I found a blood relative? And even if he's rich, I'm not spending his money. Why would I? Hey, Nadia!" Elle bit out before yelling towards Nadia's room and they saw Nadia stick her out of her room.
"Yeah, what?" She asked, as she disappeared again into her room but they both knew she could hear them. "Tell her why I don't need my brothers money!" Elle shouted back. She popped her head back out and said : "Because her mom owns like some multi-national company that has never been doing better." Then she went back to finishing dressing.

Later that night (2 Am) :
"Okay, what the hell is going on. You stick to me like glue at work and are always over at my place. Last time I checked you moved into your own swanky place." Sydney told Elle, who was kinda stumbling a bit. Obviously having a bit too much to drink.
"Ah, bite me. You know, you've been nothing but a bitch to me lately. Is it a hormone thing? Some kinda possessive thing over 'your' man." She asked her, as she sat down and threw her high-heeled shows off her feet.
"What do you mean hormonal thing? Did he tell you? i can't believe he told you. That son of a bitch." Syd said, as she sat down on the couch next to Elle who was almost asleep on one side. All curled up like a little kitten, a drunk one though.
"I overheard your, umh, your little thing with him like the day after I went missing. You know, he did actually kidnap me. I just didn't fight back because, 'cause I drank too much and ya know..." Elle told her, before yawning and trying to get more comfortable in her outfit. A slinky black glittery halter dress and on the floor went the 630$ Manolo Blahnik satin sandals with the rhinestone ankle straps with black/silver metal buckles without much thought.
"God, you were eavesdropping? Great, damn great." Sydney said, then mumbling something to herself that made no sense to Elle. Not that much would make sense to her now, she was almost out of it.
"So, why are you really here?" Sydney asked the brunette, who was seconds from starting to snore. Not attractive but how can you stop it if your asleep?
"Because he asked me to come back and watch out for you. I said off course, since you could be carrying a relative of mine in there." Elle told her, pointing to Sydney's stomach. Syd looked down at her stomach and put both hands over it. Then she looked up and locked eyes with half-closed eyes of Elle's.
"Relative? So, you really meant what you said about having a brother?" Sydney asked her, and Elle sat up and rubbed her eyes. Neither one could have noticed Nadia who was listening to them from her room through a crack in her room. See, Elle came her with to sleep on the couch since she found out that she had misplaced her keys and she'd have to call a locksmith tomorrow.
"Yeah, that day you came and freaked out? I was so happy because he got the results from a DNA test we had done and showed that we were blood related. Though of course before I seriously wanted to throw up because well, dirty thoughts had course through my mind about him before I knew of our bonds." Elle told her, almost laughing and raising a hand up to cover up a yawn.
"So, do you now know what the engraving on your bracelet means?" Sydney asked her, as the other woman was starting to fall asleep again. Elle's other hand went to her bracelet and tugged a bit at it. Then she smiled and said : "Yeah. I like what it says. I think it's pretty."
"Well, what does it say?" Syd asked her, anxious for some reason to know what it says. Maybe the thing had a clue on it about this strange twist. Maybe she was drunk enough to tell her and she could see if Gabrielle was telling the truth about not finding out about this sooner. Heck, maybe she had known her whole life. She admitted to knowing she was adopted, what says she couldn't have found her biological parents.
"Like I'm gonna tell you. One thing I will tell you is that..." Elle said, before using one finger and motioning her with the 'come here' motion. When Syd was close enough, she leaned up against her ear and said ; "...It's my real name." and then she fell asleep against Sydney's shoulder. Sleeping seriously like a rock, nothing could wake her up now.
Nadia didn't her the last part and was kinda annoyed at that, but decided to call it a night since she wasn't exactly sober herself and needed her sleep. She wasn't a good morning person. She just wish she knew what Syd now knew. She'd find out later if she still remembered this weird conversation, she stumbled upon on her way to the bathroom, in the morning.

To Be Continued...
A/N : Wow. I mean, this one was easy to write seriously. Damn, I wish they were all like this to write. I wrote it on the laptop while Wayne's World 1 was playing on TV. Yes, I adore that movie and it's great to have in the background as you write. Hehe. Also it was like 5 AM when I started to write and it's only 6:53 AM now. That didn't take long to write 1349 words, for me at least. I'm kinda proud of that. hehe.
I hope you read it, enjoyed it and pretty please leave a reply. You know they make me very, very happy. :D And a happy me writes more and faster. :)
