Finding out what to do next

They had left the castle. Rain had healed Clyde's wounds, but he still had a big old scar on his stomach. They arrived at a town. People stared at the party and then camera's started flashing.

"Run!"Justin said, they ran off to an ally.

"Dammit we shouldn't have came to a town so soon,"Jake said.

"Well we're cornered,"Rain said. A reporter came forth and stood in front of them. "Come on leave them alone,"the female reporter said. The people kept on doing what they were doing. "I SAID LEAVE THEM ALONE!"she shouted, she was getting mad. Clyde was surprised the reporter wasn't interviewing them. She finally got them to go away. She seemed to take a deep breath then turned around to face them. "Hi I knew you guys would come back, finally maybe the people will have hope again,"she said dreamy like.

"Excuse me, but who are you?"Jake asked.

"Oh sorry about that, I'm Anna...Anna Smith,"she said.

"Well I bet you already know our names,"Danielle said, folding her arms.

"Yeah,"Anna said.

"So what do you want?"Justin asked, putting an elbow on Danielle's shoulder and leaned against her.

"Nothing I just wanted to speak to you,"Anna said.

"Ok well go on,"Justin said.

"Well if you been watching the news lots of cities and small towns have been destroyed many have died...we need you guys more then ever, You need to speak to the people and tell them not to give up hope and stuff..it'll raise their spirts,"Anna said. Rain suddenly jumped.

"You know what I know how to put a barrier around your town and I'll do it for other towns too!"Rain exclaimed.

"I don't think a barrier would work that well,"Anna said.

"No you don't understand, the barrier I can make will protect you and everyone from anymore attacks,"Rain said. Clyde raised an eyebrow.

"How?"Anna asked.

"I don't know how to explain it, but first lets go make a speech,"Rain said, putting her hands together.

"Ok I'll lead you to where you can make the speech,"Anna said. They got the everything ready. Clyde and the rest of the party stood on a balcony type thing that floated.

"Ok start rolling,"Clyde heard Anna say to her camera people. Anna stood in front of the Camera first.

"The Chosen are here to say something..well I'll let them say it now,"Anna said. The camera pointed at them. Justin being a natural leader he is started.

"Well I'm speaking for all of us when I say, We've all given up, but don't give up stay strong for you and well us. We gave up cause we thought Jake here was dead and I bet we all thought we were worthless without him,"Justin said, hitting Jake on the back playfully. Clyde looked at Danielle. She had her arms folded and she looked bored and grumpy.

"What happened to Jake!"somebody shouted out from the crowd. Rain stepped forward and explained.

After she was done she stepped backwards.

"We would all like to know how you survived Jake,"another person said. Jake took the Mic.

"My memories messed up I don't remember how I survived..its been a year hasn't it? It seemed longer to me...when I saw Rain I didn't know who the hell she was,"Jake said, looking at Rain. Rain elbowed him playfully. "But then...,"Jake started, but Rain elbowed him hard in the side.

"Well yeah so he doesn't remember what happened...now we'll continue with the speech,"Rain said, she was red.

"Danielle, you want to say a few words?"Justin asked.

"Yeah I don't wanna be here,"Danielle said and glared at Justin. Clyde laughed and took the Mic. He put on a serious face.

"You all probably are scared by all the deaths there has been...its probably really scary that you know that you might be next and there's nothing you can do about it. Its not good to think that way cause you give up hope and it makes you weak and then the dark lord can use you to kill people easier cause you open up your mind and heart and it fills with darkness then there's nothing left and he takes over you and you'll end up killing people you love,"Clyde said.

"We're begging not to give up hope please don't...you'll only end up hurting each other,"Jake said. Rain took the Mic.

"Yeah, build up that strength your going to need it if you wanna stay safe..cause I got a plan to protect you,"Rain said, raising her fist. The crowd cheered a little. The camera then went back to Anna.

"The Chosen have spoken remember don't give up,"Anna said. The camera switched off. Clyde hugged Rain. Rain kinda jumped.

"You've got a knack for speaking to the people,"Justin said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"You guys do too,"Rain said.

"Hey can I get a picture?"some girl asked.

"Sure,"they said. Danielle groaned. Justin whispered something to her that made her jump. Justin put an arm around Danielle and made the peace sign with his fingers. Rain stood by Justin and smiled shyly. Jake put an arm around Rain's shoulder and winked for the picture. Clyde kneeled down in front of them and gave two thumbs up. The girl backed up so she could get the whole picture. The camera flashed and she said thanks and ran off.

"That was fun!"Clyde said, popping up. Rain giggled.

"Can we go now?"Danielle asked.

"Yeah I guess,"they all said and went to the hotel they were staying in.

Later on that day...

Danielle was grouchy so Justin told her to go to bed. Danielle rolled her eyes and went into the other room.

'What crawled up her ass and died,"Justin thought to himself. He then looked at Rain she had her elbow on her knee, her chin resting on her fist. Her eyes were closed in thought. 'Wonder what she's thinking about,'Justin thought. Jake poked Rain in the back. Rain's eyes flew open. She turned around and punched Jake in the face. Rain smirked after a second. Justin was very confused.

"Jesus Rain ow,"Jake said. Justin went into the other room. Danielle had her eyes closed, but Justin could tell that she wasn't asleep. He jumped on top of her. She opened her eyes and glared at him. She pushed him off of her and he was now on the ground. Justin laid there for a second and then sat up. She was facing the wall with her arms crossed. Justin went to touch her.

"Touch me and all hell will break loose,"she said coldly.

"Um are you ok?"Justin asked.

"Yeah, now leave me be!"she yelled.

"What's wrong?"he asked again.

"Nothing now go,"she said waving her hand towards the door. Justin sat on Rain's bed, crossing his arms. Danielle rolled over to look at Justin. "I said leave,"she said, glaring.

"Not until you tell me what's wrong,"Justin said. Danielle sighed.

"Seriously its nothing I'm just a little grouchy that's all..I just want to be alone,"Danielle said. Justin sighed and stood up. He kissed her forehead then left.

"I have no idea what's wrong with her,"Justin said.

"Do you think she's pregnant ?"Rain asked.

"No,"Justin said.

"Then why has she been having all these mood swings and stuff?"Rain asked.

"Well actually she's been grouchy only grouchy,"Justin said.

"Well what do I know,"Rain said, shrugging. Justin turned scarlet and went into the other room.

"Are you pregnant?"Justin blurted out to Danielle. Danielle looked at him weirdly. "What gives you that impression?"Danielle asked. Justin shrugged and looked down.

Her small hands held his. "I'm not pregnant ..I told you I'm just a little grouchy,"Danielle said.

"Good I not ready for that drama,"Justin said, smirking. Danielle made a small laugh. "Well I'll leave you alone again,"Justin said.

"Good,"Danielle said and sat back down on the bed. Justin left her again. Rain laughed.

"Damn you Rain!"Justin said. She just smiled.

Meanwhile..

A girl with dark brown hair and green eyes laid on a bed. She cursed at her friendliness to that guy that she only known for awhile. Her master and creator voice came from her earpiece.

"Remember your mission!"he said.

"I'll get it done don't worry,"she said, between clenched teeth.

"You better,"he said. She rolled her eyes then closed them.

The next few days the party was going to every town or city to put up the barriers that Rain makes. A few days ago she said that's how the town she lived in was protected and it hasn't been destroyed or touched yet and probably never will. That speech sure helped peoples spirts lift. Rain just got done with another one for Starlight Town. She wiped the sweat from her forehead it took a lot of energy and magic to do those barriers. Clyde came over to her and handed her an ether and some water.

"Thanks,"she said with a smile. She sat down and rested. Some people stopped and talked for a minute to each other. Rain couldn't help but listen in.

"I heard about this silver substance, that's called silair, that holds the priestess Fiona's memories,"a girl with cherry red hair said.

"Well I heard sometimes she gives you advice or even talks to you sometimes,"a guy with messy jet black hair.

"Hmm weird,"a girl with light pink hair said, then the group went on there way. Rain jumped up and taped the girl with the cherry red hair on the shoulder. She turned around and almost punched Rain in the face.

"Oh sorry Rain,"she said sheepishly.

"Can you tell me where this silair thingie is?"Rain asked the girl.

"I heard it was in a church in Baja,"the guy with the jet black hair replied. She smiled at him.

"Thank you well you all know my name so what are yours?"Rain asked, smiling.

"I'm Katie,"the pink haired girl said.

"Dan,"the guy said.

"Cherry,"the cherry red head said.

"Nice to meet you all,"Rain smiled.

"Ummm can I get a picture?"Dan asked.

"Yeah sure..how should I pose,"Rain said, doing some random posing.

"Stay where you are that ones perfect,"Dan said. She had a hand on her hip and the other hand was pointing straight and she was winking.

"I don't see how this ones perfect,"Rain said.

"It is well for me,"he said, taking out his camera. There was a flash. The picture came out instantly. Rain took it from Dan.

"Hey I'm pretty cute,"Rain said, smiling at it.

"No your not,"Dan said. Rain flashed him a weird look. "Your beautiful,"Dan said. Rain blushed, she was being hit on by a guy younger then her.

"Thanks,"Rain said. 'He's cute but isn't he like sixteen,'Rain thought.

"No need to thank me its true,"Dan said. Rain smiled a bit.

"Can you sign it?"he asked.

"Sure got a pen?"Rain asked.

"Yep,"he said, handing her one.

"What would you like me to write, just my name?"Rain asked.

"One of your quotes or just a quote or something,"Dan said. Rain leaned the picture against the wall and thought what quote should she write. She wrote: "No matter how dark the night is mourning always comes"-Rain. She handed him the picture. "Yeah that's nice...thank you,"he said.

'He's shy,'Rain thought then grinned. She kissed his cheek. His face turned pink almost as pink as Katie's hair. "See ya,"Rain said and waved to them. She walked back over to the party.

"Hey guys,"Rain said.

"Got a kid hitting on you eh?"Justin said it was more of a statement then a question.

"I guess so,"Rain said. Justin smiled. Danielle was leaning on the wall with her arms crossed.

"Ok to the next town!"Rain said.

"Got energy already?"Jake asked.

"Of course!"Rain replied.

"You keep going and going and going,"Jake said. Rain laughed.

"Well anyway we're going to Baja next...I don't want it to get destroyed,"Rain said.

"Rain, sorry to break it to you but we already did that town,"Justin said.

"Great..well as soon as we're done with the rest of the towns and city's we're going back to Baja,"Rain said.

"Ok,"the party said and headed out.

Jake was watching Rain set up another barrier for an island called Sunshine. They rode over there on a speed boat. "So explain how people can get in and out of this,"Jake said.

"Well you know what I don't know,"Rain said.

"Then the dark lord could just stroll right in the towns and stuff,"Jake said.

"Jake, listen the barrier won't let in just anybody,"Rain said. Jake had a puzzled look. "Never mind its hard to explain,"Rain said. Rain finished. Jake watched her carefully as she stood up and wiped her forehead. Rain's body suddenly jerked and she started falling. Jake caught her she was an inch from the ground.

"We need to stop meeting like this,"Jake said, setting her up straight again.

"Yeah,"she said, smiling.

"You look tired you should rest,"Jake said.

"A nap will do just fine,"Rain said throwing a capsule down and her sleeping bag popped out. She laid it under the shade and laid on the sleeping bag instead of in it. "Wake me up in two hours,"Rain mumbled and she instantly fell asleep. Jake sat down. The others were inside the village doing something, Jake couldn't remember. Jake sighed and watched Rain sleep.

"Curse you,"she mumbled. Jake raised his eyebrow, then grinned. He longed to hold her like he did when they saw each other again. The other party members got back. "What were you guys doing again?"Jake asked.

"Getting souvenirs,"Justin said with a laugh.

"Fun get me anything?"Jake asked.

"Yep some condoms,"Clyde said.

"Oh ha-ha,"Jake said, smirking.

"Nah we got you wristbands,"Justin said. Danielle was sitting on the ground.

"Danielle, you stay here with Rain,"Justin said.

"Where we going?"Jake asked.

"To talk,"Clyde said. Jake shrugged and walked off with them.

"So what happened when Rain found you?"Justin asked. Jake told him.

"So you guys together or what?"Clyde asked.

"No I don't think so,"Jake said.

"What do you mean?"Clyde asked.

"We don't act like anything happened between us..personally I think that kiss was nothing,"Jake said.

Justin gave Jake a nasty look. "What?"Jake asked.

"How can you say it was nothing?"Justin asked.

"Well um...cause she doesn't act like nothing has changed either do I so yeah,"Jake said.

"Well act like something happened and then maybe you will find out that kiss meant something,"Justin said. Clyde nodded.

"What do I do scoop her in my arms?"Jake asked, sarcastically.

"No give her something special and see what she does,"Clyde said. Jake shook his head and went to the village. He found a necklace. It was a necklace made of white gold with a heart in the middle. There were three tiny diamonds on the each side of a heart.

'Maybe a bit to fancy,'Jake thought. Clyde came up.

"Its nice,"he said, looking at the necklace.

"Yeah but don't you think its much?"Jake asked.

"Yeah, but Rain would think it was nice,"Clyde said.

"Should I just give her a ring instead?"Jake asked.

"Well lets look at the rings,"Clyde said.

"How bout this one?"Clyde asked, holding up one that was gold with a diamond.

"That makes it seem like I'm asking to marry her,"Jake said.

"Ok how bout this one?"Clyde said, showing him just a plain gold one.

"Nah,"Jake said.

"Ok your giving her the heart necklace and that's that,"Clyde said, shoving the necklace to Jake. Jake sighed and payed for it. They went back to where Danielle, Rain, and now Justin were. Rain was awake.

"Danielle, Clyde, and I are gonna go over there for a minute,"Justin said, and they headed off somewhere.

"Um have a nice nap?"Jake asked.

"Yeah,"Rain said, smiling.

"Um Rain, ummm here,"Jake said, handing her a scarlet box. She raised her eyebrow then opened it. Jake looked to the side then at her. Tears were forming in her eyes.

"This is sweet of you..why did you get this for me?"Rain asked.

"Well I really like...I'm in love with you!"Jake replied, blushing. Rain smiled and flung her arms around his neck with the necklace in her hand still. He was shocked at this sudden reaction.

"I have a confession..I liked you for a long time, I'm sorry I didn't say so earlier,"Rain whispered in his ear. Jake smiled, putting his arms around her waist then lifting her up and spinning her around. Rain giggled when he put her down. Jake looked at her with a big smile on his face. Rain smiled and leaned up and kissed him passionately. They pulled away at the same time.

"Want me to help you put your necklace on?"Jake asked.

"Sure,"she said, turning around. She held up her hair, while he put it on her.

"Ok got it,"Jake said. She let her hair down and looked at Jake.

"Beautiful,"Jake said, laughing at himself. The others came back.

"Finally,"Jake heard Justin mumble. Jake smirked and they got into the speed boat again.

They finished putting there final barrier around a town.

"All done now we can go to Baja since there's barriers on every town, city, etc.,"Rain said cheerfully.

"Well lets go then,"Danielle said, getting into the jeep. The party followed. Danielle was driving this time. Justin sat in the back with Clyde and Jake. Rain was feeding Carbunce with a smile on her face. Justin smiled at Jake. He seemed really happy lately. 'Well of course he's happy he finally has Rain and he knows that she likes him back,"Justin thought. Justin eyes lingered on Danielle. She was still acting funny. 'She acts like she doesn't feel the same anymore,'Justin thought.'Maybe she really doesn't feel the same.'

Justin decided just to ask her even if it'll hurt him. He wanted to know how she felt, he wanted to know if she really loved him like he loves her. He really didn't like not knowing how she felt. He sighed and closed his eyes.

"Justin, what's wrong?"Clyde asked.

"Its Danielle...,"Justin said in almost a whisper. Clyde nodded.

"Yeah, she's seems distant..worse then before,"Clyde whispered. Justin just sighed. They stopped at a gas station. Danielle got out. Justin got out also.

"Danielle, we need to talk,"Justin said.

"Ok..,"Danielle said. He lead her away from the jeep.

"Look Danielle, I love you, but there is one question do you love me?"Justin asked.

"Of course I do, Justin,"Danielle said, as she went to touch him. Justin backed up

"No, you don't. Even though your close to me you've seem so distant ,"Justin said. She sighed.

"Fine I don't..but whatever,"Danielle said. Justin couldn't take it.

"Whatever! whatever! You know you could of told me if you didn't love me, instead of doing this!"Justin yelled and walked off.

Danielle glared at him as he walked off. Then she started feeling a different emotion, regret. She covered her face with one hand. She was about to cry, but she shook it off. She took the pump out of the tank and got into the jeep again. Danielle noticed Justin wasn't there. She started getting panicky.

'Oh Justin, I'm sorry..please come back I don't want you hurt,'Danielle told him mentally. Danielle got out of the jeep and started running around looking for Justin. She found him under a tree with his elbow resting on his knee and he had one hand over his face.

"Justin..,"Danielle said. He looked up then looked away. "Justin, I didn't mean to hurt you..I do love you,"Danielle said. He remained silent. "My emotions are confusing me, one minute I will feel like I did when we first met then another time I will feel what I feel now then I'll just feel hatred to the whole world,"Danielle said. Justin looked at her then stood up. Danielle thought he was gonna walk away. She didn't wanna see him go, so she looked away. He turned her face toward him slowly.

"Well how bout we spilt up for a little while so you can get your emotions together,"Justin said.

"What do you mean spilt up?"she asked.

"Our relationship..just until you get everything straightened out,"Justin said. Danielle smiled.

"Ok,"Danielle said. He caught her in a tight embrace. He kissed her forehead before they headed back to the jeep.

They arrived at Baja. Clyde dashed headed of the party, but then he stopped and looked back at them with a puzzled look. "Where are we going again?"Clyde asked.

"To the church,"Rain said.

"Where's that?"Clyde asked.

"Just follow me,"Rain said.

"But I wanna lead,"Clyde said. Rain smiled and lead the party to the church. Clyde pushed open the doors and looked around.

"Where do you think it is?"Justin asked. Clyde looked up at the staircase.

"Maybe up there,"Clyde said.

"Well only one way to find out,"Justin said, smiling. Clyde and Justin ran up the stairs. The others came up behind them a few seconds later. There was two hallways.

"Hm which one should we go down?"Clyde asked.

"How bout right,"Justin said. Clyde nodded and they went down the hallway. Clyde opened a door and there stood a bowl, but the bowl was empty.

"Hm,"Rain said, looking at the bowl also. Then all a sudden the bowl filled up with a silver liquid. Clyde jumped. The others had came closer to look at the bowl too. Then the silver substance turned clear and a woman appeared that had long light brown hair and blue eyes kinda like Elena's.

"Fiona?"Clyde asked. She nodded.

"Hey what's up?"Justin asked, cheerfully.

"Nothing really..oh Justin Dianna is getting married,"Fiona said.

"She..she is?"Justin asked. Fiona nodded. Clyde looked at Justin he looked pained. "Too whom?"Justin asked.

"A man named Paul,"Fiona replied.

"Oh,"Justin said.

"She wishes you could be there for her wedding...cause she still cares about you don't cha know,"Fiona said. Justin smiled.

"Oh wait you can..you know the spell to come back to the past?"Fiona asked Justin. Justin closed his eyes.

"Yeah, I do,"Justin said.

"Well then you should come!"Fiona exclaimed.

"I don't know..,"Justin said.

"Oh come on I wanna see Jessie and my mom and Fiona, please Justin,"Jake said.

"Fine we'll go,"Justin said.

"Ok down to business.., Fiona, do you know about the sacred realms?"Rain asked.

"Yes,"Fiona said.

"Can you tell me what they are?"Rain asked.

"They are found in temples in many places, you must go to those temples to obtain power,"Fiona said.

"Yeah and?"Rain asked.

"There is the water realm, the fire realm, the thunder realm, the ice realm, the forest realm, the light realm, and the dark realm,"Fiona said.

"Ok so what do we do in the realms?"Rain asked.

"You must get to the end of the realm to obtain more power, for you are the summoner,"Fiona said.

"Ok so we have to get though the realms to collect more power?"Rain asked. Fiona nodded.

"So your coming back to the past now right?"Fiona asked.

"Yeah as soon as we get some stuff then we'll go back to your time,"Justin said. Fiona laughed.

"Ok see you soon then,"Fiona said.

"See you,"they all said. She smiled and the clear substance turned silver again and it drained.

"Well lets go get our supplies,"Rain said. And then they were off again.
