Who's that bimbo?

Into the desert, into Zandra's private suite, a large king sized bed, one two-seated couch and two arm chairs facing a table. Jack sat into one of the chairs and Riven sat together with Tulio in the couch. Tulio was pale and he looked like being in bad shape. Zandra stood by the windows looking outside with an empty expression, Paris standing besides her.

''What happened?'' She whispered quietly. The news of her uncle's death had caught her of guard, and what was more unbelievably was that he had been murdered, murdered by none other then his own lieutenant. Zandra didn't know what was worse, or what she felt. Was she angry? Sad? Betrayed? Whatever it was she couldn't put her finger on it. A single tear ran down her cheek. Paris stood and looked at her with sympathy at the young woman before him.

''He changed after you left. If you just had stayed, things might have been different.'' Paris said softly and Zandra turned around slightly to look at him angrily.

''Are you implying that this is my fault?'' She hissed in a whisper. Paris shook his head and ran a hand through his hair.

''Of course not.'' He replied her. Zandra sighed and looked back outside the window.

''I can't believe that my uncle could do something like this, it's horrible.'' She shook her head in disbelief. Paris walked over to her other side and grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and turned her around to face him. He needed to make her understand what was going on and why they needed her help.

''Nick have been playing games with my life, making it a living hell. And now he's holding Tulio's pregnant wife prisoner and he has this crazy ideas that he loves her and wants to take over the entire universe with her. That's how we ended up into the desert, he wanted us out of the way. He's sick Zan!'' Zandra looked down in the floor and buried her face into her palms. Hearing this about her brother, that she have loved for as long as she can remember. She just wished that this was all a dream, that her uncle was still alive and her brother was the same person that she knew. A part of her wanted to scream at Paris, telling him to shut up.

''Look, you can be mad or kill me later for killing Leon, whatever you want. But we really need your help right now.'' He took her hands in his, and for a second they looked into each others eyes. Remembering all that happened in the past. They soon separated and Zandra looked over at Tulio and the others before sighing deeply. She thought for a second about what would be the best thing to do. Should she, or was she ever prepared for go back to her past life. Could she go against her own brother? Even after what he had done to her and Paris? The only thing that she could try to think about was, what would her uncle do? After thinking about it for a second, she nodded her head and turned back to look at him again.

''Fine, I'll help you.'' She said before walking over the mini-fridge on the other side of the room, taking five bottles of spring water giving four of them to Riven, Tulio, Paris and Jack.

''It's important that you all drink. Especially you, you still looks a bit pale.'' She said and looked over at Tulio as she sat down into the empty arm-chair next, as Paris sat down onto the armrest at Jack's chair. Tulio took a sip before shocking his head.

''I'm fine, but I'll feel better when I'm with my wife again, away from that awful prison.'' He hissed angrily as he took another sip of water. Zandra nodded sadly and looked over at Paris.

''So, what do we do now?'' She asked.


Amazonia sat into an arm-chair facing the window. She looked outside and could see the men walking outside, still it felt like she was the only human left in the entire universe. Well maybe not the only one, she looked down at her small baby bump and stroke it softly.

''Now it's only you and me left.'' She said quietly.

''They are both dead now.'' She added as the memories came back to her.

Flashback

Amazonia, Jack and Paris sat in a small living-room at the house they where staying. Paris in one of the arm-chairs, Jack stood leaning against the nearby wall and Amazonia sat onto the floor, resting her elbow onto the white plush couch. For a long time, they where completely still, just listening to the grandfather clock.

''So, what are we going to do now?'' Paris asked and looked over at Amazonia. She sighed deeply and glanced up at him slightly and shrugged her shoulders. Honestly, she didn't know. It wasn't even that long ago that she found out that there was a life growing inside her, it still felt very surreal.

''I don't know.'' She said quietly. Paris looked back and Jack for a second before turning back to her.

''You're the only one that can know, this has to be your decision Am.'' He said and sighed deeply. Amazonia looked up at him for a second before looking down at her stomach and stroke it softly with her left hand. A small smile crept onto her lips. A baby. Her and Tulio's baby. Then, her smile faded away by the thought of her husband and what she had seen, causing her to leave. Paris saw what was troubling her and turned back to Jack again.

''Can you leave us for a minute?'' He asked. Jack nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him. Paris stood up and walked over to Amazonia, sitting down at the floor besides her and took her hand in his and squeezed it lightly. Amazonia looked at their hands and up at him. Paris smiled and nudged her head with his forehead, earning a soft laugh from her.

''It's nice to laugh again.'' He said. Amazonia nodded her head and sighed deeply, tilting her head to rest it onto his shoulder.

''Whatever you choose to do, you're not alone.'' He said.

''I want you to know that if you choose not to go back, I'll help you with everything.'' He added. Amazonia pulled back slightly to look at him, frowning her eyebrows.

''What do you mean?'' She asked. Paris sighed and ran a hand through his hair once before turning to look at her.

''I mean that if you want me to, I'll raise this baby together with you as my own.'' He said. Amazonia looked at him for a second, before wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

After deciding that the best thing for everybody was to go back and tell Tulio about the baby, Amazonia had thought about the best way of telling him. She sat opposite him into the kitchen, not knowing what was to come. Amazonia looked up and opened her mouth, looking for the right words to say.

''Tulio, I'm pregnant.'' She smiled shyly. Tulio kept on staring at her without saying a word. He looked to be in slight shook but mostly he looked angry.

''Well?'' She asked carefully and shrugged her shoulders. She knew that they had decided to wait to have children but apparently mother nature had something else in mind for them.

''Who's is it?'' He asked harshly. Amazonia's smile faded away and could feel her stomach knot itself inside of her.

''What? What did you just say?'' She asked angrily and shot daggers at him. The nerve of that guy! Tulio throwed the rag that he had polished with onto the counter hard before leaning over the counter so that their faces almost touched.

''Is it mine or Paris?!'' He asked again. Amazonia looked at him with anger and hurt in her eyes as she flew up from her chair and made it fall and she rushed outside the room leaving Tulio alone.

Nick's smirk grew wider as he glanced over at Amazonia by his side. She was looking down in the ground as a tear ran down her cheek. Nick turned back to Paris and Tulio again.

''There has been a slight change of plans. Instead of the negotiations, I have ordered for your execution tomorrow morning.'' Nick said. Both Tulio and Paris's faces filled up with fear as Amazonia sobbed into her palms. Nick looked satisfied over at Paris.

''But don't worry Paris, I'll raise your child like my own.'' He said with a sickening smirk. Tulio's eyes burned with rage as he looked over at Paris, who stood and frowned his eyebrows and looked over at Amazonia in surprise.

''His child?!'' Tulio screamed in rage and Amazonia's heart broke into thousands of pieces.

End of flashback

She didn't even knew that she could, and she tried not to. But the tears couldn't be stopped.


Zandra walked outside the ranch with a young man walking besides her. For the first time in three years, Zandra once again wore her military uniform. They walked together to a ship nearby, where Paris stood into the entrance watching them.

''Stay back here and await for my orders.'' Zandra said she stopped and turned around to face him. The young man bowed.

''Yes General.'' He replied before walking back inside and Zandra walked over and boarded the ship. As she walked back him, Zandra gave Paris a slight smile and flicked her long ponytail before walking over to Tulio and Riven and sat down next to them. Paris smiled and cast one last look at her before going inside the cockpit to Jack.

''We're ready to go.'' He said as he sat down in the passenger seat. Jack nodded as they took off. On their way back to the palace, Jack noticed something was bothering his best friend and he looked over at him looking troubled.

''What's on your mind?'' He asked. Paris snapped out of his thoughts for a second and looked over at Jack. He sighed deeply and scratched the back out of his head.

''I'm not sure, but I think I meet Leon.'' He said.

''Paris, Leon is dead.'' Jack said shortly without looking at him. Paris nodded his head and shrugged his shoulders.

''I know, but it was so real and we talked about everything. It makes so much more sense.'' Jack glanced over at Paris again and frowned his eyebrows.

''And he mentioned your parents.'' Paris whispered. He could see Jack held his breath and he gritted his teeth. Paris knew that talking about his parents where difficult for him, and he could relate to that.

''He told me to tell you, that they are happy.'' He added.

''I don't want to talk about it.'' Jack snapped as he leaned back into his seat. Paris sighed and turned around in his seat to face Jack properly. He could see history repeat it self. Someone mention Jack's parents and he immediately puts up his unbreakable armor around himself and his emotions.

''Jack.''

''This discussion is over Paris.'' Jack hissed angrily and looked at him angrily. Paris sighed in defeat and neither one of them said a word the rest of the trip.


Jack landed the ship into the courtyard and soon Chel and Musa ran outside. The sight of Paris walking over to her, made the two-hundred pound stone fall from Chel's chest.

''Paris? You're hurt.'' She said worriedly as she reached up to gently touch the wound onto his forehead. Paris flinched in pain.

''Careful.'' He smiled and stroke her cheek softly. Zandra frowned her eyebrows slightly and discreetly. Paris didn't say anything about him being this close to the princess, he maybe was a little bit to close to just being a friend. Could it be? Zandra felt a lump grow into her throat. Chel smiled up at Paris before looking behind her, seeing Zandra staring at her. She recognised the woman from the photos that Nick once send to Paris, and she too suddenly could feel a lump into her throat. Paris looked back at Zandra,

''Chel, Musa, this is Zandra. She has agreed to help us.'' He said with a smile. Zandra walked slightly foreward with a smile.

''Hi.'' She said and waved. Musa smiled over at her. Trying to hide the fact that she was extremely uncomfortably with Paris's ex-girlfriend being here, Chel turned her head to look at her older brother supporting her younger brother. Tulio was still pale and the bumpy ride made him feel even worse then he already did.

''Tulio, you look… terrible.'' Chel said quietly. Tulio looked up at his sister, glaring furiously at her.

''Well how about I give Paris to some obsessed psychopath and chain you up into the desert making you almost die of dehydrating. Then we'll see how good you will look after that!'' He hissed angrily over at her. Chel gasped and folded her arms. Riven laughed and rolled his eyes.

''He talks back, then he's going to be just fine.'' Riven said as he and Musa helped Tulio back inside. Chel had her chin hanging down onto the ground as she looked over at her younger brother being dragged inside. Paris chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and they also went inside.


Chel and Paris walked together, hands linked through the corridor into the palace. They stopped outside a door and Chel quietly opened it and peeked inside seeing Teddy sitting by a round table with a slighter older woman then herself.

''I'm sorry to disturb, but there is someone out here that Teddy might want to meet.'' Chel smiled as she opened the door slightly and Paris peeked inside.

''Paris.'' Teddy squealed in joy and jumped down from his chair and ran over to Paris and Chel. Paris kneeled down and gave the young boy a hug.

''Where have you been?'' Teddy asked. Paris smiled.

''I went to visit an old friend of mine for a few days. I'm sure that she would like to meet you.'' Paris said. Chel forced a smile on her lips as she gently lead Teddy back to his chair.

''He can't right now, he needs to finish his tutoring, then it's straight to bed.'' She said as Teddy jumped back up onto the chair. Paris looked at his fiancée suspiciously as he folded his arms.

''Do I have to?'' Teddy asked. Chel smiled and leaned down to plant a kiss onto his forehead.

''Yes, I'll be back to say goodnight later.'' She replied him before she and Paris left the room. She barely could take a single step before Paris grabbed her wrist and made her to turn around and face him.

''What was that?'' He asked her. Chel shrugged her shoulders and looked at him confused.

''What?'' She asked. Paris let go of her wrist and put his hands onto his waist.

''You don't want Zandra to meet Teddy.'' Chel frowned her eyebrows and folded her arms across her chest.

''You don't know what you're talking about.'' She said before starting to walk again. Paris followed her and they walked quietly for a few seconds before Chel turned her head around slightly.

''So, are you getting back together with her?'' She asked.

''Zandra is here to help us get Amazonia back and take down Nick, because she might be the only one that can make that possible. That's my first priority at the moment.'' Paris replied her. Chel nodded, but still she wasn't completely convinced.

''Of course, but there is still a part of you that wants to get back together with her.'' They walked outside into the courtyard and sat down by the fountain.

''I'm going to be honest with you. Things are not what I thought they were.'' He said. Chel nodded sadly and looked down into her lap. Paris brought his index finger to her chin and made her face him. He could see his own reflection in her sparkle violet eyes.

''But that doesn't change about how I feel for you. I'm fully committed to you.'' He said. A smile grew across Chel's lips as she leaned in to place a soft kiss onto his lips before wrapping her arms around his shoulder. She knew that Paris meant everything that he said, but something still made her feel unsure about that Zandra's presence would be good for her relationship.


At night, Tulio laid inside his bedroom tossing, turning and moaning in his sleep. Since he and Paris where chained up in the desert, returning nightmares have been haunting his sleep. He could hear Amazonia cry out for his help and her ear-piercing scream as Nick walks towards and leans over her with a smirk onto his lips.

''Just relax, everything will be fine.'' He said as a tear escaped Amazonia's terrified eyes. Then everything went back to black again, but he can still hear Amazonia pleading for him to leave her alone and a loud laugh can be heard. Tulio sits up like a bolt in bed, sweat running down from every inch of his body. He breaths heavily for a few seconds before running a hand through his messy scarlet red hair.


Could Chel be right or will Zandra leave her past behind and go back to the desert.

And why is it so difficult for Jack to speak about his parents?

Next time, Amazonia does more then one shocking discovery and the battle begins.
