It's was soon 2 years since the team got together, Axel had think about it a lot for a time now. He was in his room, he did look in his photo album, specially the pictures of the father. Out in the living room, «Hey. Dude, Hawk, give it too me. It's my turn now!!!» Shark yelld. He, Lioness, and Hawk was playing a videogame. They was agreed that the loser was playing against Shark, and Hawk did lose against Lioness. «No, can't we say the best of three, Lioness?» Hawk was trying hard to not play against Shark, Lioness roll her eyes, she was done with the two primitive boys.

Lioness lay down her game control, then she left to her room. She slam the door after herself. Axel did stick his head out of his room to see what just happend. Axel: What's up? Shark: Hawk started! He looked at Hawk who did look out of the window. Axel went over to King, he was reading the news on his laptop. Axel: What are you reading, King? King: An article about the rainforest, ther is a big fire over there. «It's good the rainforest is long from Rio.» Lioness did turn on really loud music, too bad for the guys, the music they did´nt like. The guys did hear the music like Lioness had it in the living room.

King: Shark Hawk see what you have done now, she is just playing that music so loud when she is really, and I mean really mad! He yelld out in the living room, still nobody could hear what he was saying. Then Lioness did turn down the music for a little moment, «HELL!» Come from Lioness's room.

Axel: I´ll go and talke too her, and tell her to turn the music down. Axel went to her door, knock on the door two times. No answered, he knock on the door again, same answer. He went in, Lioness was sit on the edge of her bed with a guitar, she stop with once she saw Axel, and lay away the guitar. Axel: You wrote that song? Lioness: Well, yes. Must every song you guys hear I from my room, I play. Axel: They are very good, just don't play so loud, okay? «Okay,» Lioness answer.

Then Axel went out of her room. When Axel got out in the living room, he almost run to the others, he told them to sit down arond the table, Axel: She did sing those songs! Hawk: What, Lioness. No way! Axel: I mean it. She told me. Shark: Maybe we can get her to sing in the band..? I mean she sings good, Dude. Hawk: I think it's a great idea. why didn't I come up with that?! «Maybe we should ask her?» King said and look at Axel. «Yes, maybe that's a good idea!» Lioness was standing behind them, and she did hear everything.

Axel: So are you in? I mean you have a great voice and you like a milliion times better then Hawk. Lioness: But you don't know eny of my songs at all, can you guys play other songs an just Give it up? Axel turnd to the other guys and give them the look Can-We-Play-Evy-Other-Songs-At-All? Axel did turn over to Lioness again and said: Yes, but we can't your songs. So I must find the instruments then? Axel and the others yelld: You got instruments, from were!?! The guys was standing up in Lioness face. «I got then from my dad, when he was in Landmark,» Lioness answerd. Lioness left to her room again to get the instruments, she got back with two electric guitars, one bass guitar, then she asked for help too get out the drumset.

Everything was placed in the living room. And it was all new, no know had touch them before. Lioness did sit down with one of the new electric guitars, then she begin to play. Almost nobody of the guys had ever heard something like that. Axel: Didn't your father make that? Lioness: Yes, it's Catalina, the song he playd for me, when you did look for the gold. The time when Magness and D-Zel was "in" my fathers band, Axel: Okay, It did sound so familiar. Then Lioness and the guys begin too practise.

Two hours later, the time just fly away. Axel: Wow, look at the clock it´s over 02:00 Am, maybe we should continue tomorrow, «Sounds good too me, dude,» Shark said. Lioness did reise up, and said: Good night, guys! Then Lioness did go to the "ladies´ room," A little moment after, she got out. She did look out in the living room. Lioness saw that almost every one had go to bed, but not Axel.

He was siting in the sofa, Lioness sat down next to him, then she asked: Is something wrong? «No, I was just thinking about it´s soon 2 years since we become a team,» Axel answered and look at her. Lioness: I havn't thought of that, thanks for catching me. Axel: What are you talking about? Lioness: When Paine grab my arm and throw my over that fence, then you catch me, remember? Axel: Yes, that was nothing. Lioness: You're right, you also catch me when I fall down skyscraper, and you saved me from a guy of concrete how still wanna marry me, and that nothing to say thanks for?? Lioness did kiss Axel on his cheek, then she left to her room and fall asleep. Axel was blushing and he was thinking: What the hell did just happend now? He looked too her door, then he also did go to bed, like everybody else.

Next day, Lioness was the first one how got out of bed first, she sat i the sofa. She hadon the green top, and the yellow pants, and her hair was not in a ponytail, unusual. She sat down near the kitchen pable with her own guitar, then she playd a short part of one of the songs she had made: Someday (nickelback)

The guys wake up of the song, it wasn't terrible, but it still did say wake up! Lioness: Good morning! she yelld, when King, Axel, Shark and Hawk got in the kitchen. Axel: Good morning. Why did you wake us up so early? «But this is very important!» She answered and begin to jump up and down. King: So, what's up? Lioness: Axel, did get a letter! Hawk: Yes, but we get letters almost every day. It must be a bill or something. Lioness: No, It's not, just look how send it!

Lioness gave Axel the letter, Axels eyes wide when he saw who send it, «It´s from my father, why did you not tell me before now?!» Axel almost yelld at Lioness, Lioness: The clock it's not more then 08.00 am, and I just take in the mail. Axel:Sorry, I´m just a little to hysterics right now. Axel opend the letter and read loud: Axel, sorry that I didn't take contact before, but that would be to dangerus if I did, I have work with the Crysalis Project for some time now. I'm sure you did meet some bad people because of me, like Paine and some other people, and I´m sorry for that. You can find me with your mother, I just got here. And you must come here too. We must continue with your Jo-Lan training, so we can finaly go too the Jo-Lan tempel in Hong-Kong. Jo-Lan is in great danger! And you are the only one to save it!

Lioness: So when do you leave? Axel: I don't know, I mean I really wanna meet him, but I still don´t wanna leave you guys, Lioness: But you wanna meet your father, We understand.

She tok her hand on his shoulder, then she left to her room, with her guitar. King: Are you going? Axel: I must, but for Jo-Lan. Not me. King: What about Lioness and us? Axel: I will come too visit you as fast as I can, I promise. King hug his friend. Axel: I leave tonight. Then they hear Lioness begin to play loud music again.

Axel: No, Don't tell me she hates me now. Hawk: I actually think she do. «Thank you Hawk, you are SO NOT HELPING!» Axel said irritated and walk to his room to get ready to leave. The hours was flying away, but nothing did change for Axel and Lioness. She was still in her room and was playing loud music, and he was in his room, packing his things. Now Lioness was playing Lonely whit Akon, she was mad at Axel, because he was about to walk out of her life. Axel was now ready to go. Axel did come out of his room and was going over to Lioness's room. He did stop right outside, he knock on the door, she didn't awnser. Then he heard the music stop, but she didn't come out.

Then he whisperd at the door, with a hope inside that she listen: I love you, I just want to tell you that before I go. Then he heard something back, «Go to the Jo-Lan tempel in Hong-Kong, and save the world it needs you more then I do.» Then Axel walk in to the living room to say good bye til the other guys. King: Gonna miss you, pal. «I'm going to miss you too, I promis I'll come back and visit you guys soon.» When everybody had say good bye well almost everybody. Axel was ready to go, the guys did follow him out, he was going to take XT-9000 til his mother. But when Axel was turning to say good bye a last time he saw Lioness was standing on top of the stairs.

When Axel saw her he opend his arms, and she come running in to them. She wrapped her arms aroud his neck and she cride, like he was going to die, or something. Axel let his bags go so he was able to lay his arms arond her. In a few minutes they was standig like that, Lioness had lay her head on Axels chest, Lioness did take back her head and said: So this is good bye, why must it always be so hard? «Because then I know I'll again, and fight against Paine and everything alse bad in this city. With you, just like we have done for two years. But now I got to go. I must save Jo-Lan, but then I will return. I promis.»

«I know you will, but I can't promis you that I not will get mad at you when you are gone.» Lioness said and was holding his hand. Then Axel let go of her and as he walk over to his car Lioness was slowly leting his hand go, but when the both felt Axels hand was falling Lioness was holding it back just a few seconds then she let it go. Lioness did slowly begin to go back in again inside, Axel put the key in the car. But he did take a last look at Lioness, then he did start the car and was on his way back to his old home.

Inside Lioness ran to the window to see him going home. When she couldn't see his car anymore she went to bed. King, Hawk and Shark had promised Axel they will take good care of Lioness, and that was just what they were going to do. King: Good night, Lioness. Sweet dreams! «You too, King. Good night!» She answered when she walkd in too her room.

When did sit down on her bed, she did stare up in the ceiling, she thought of Axel. Even he had been gone for about 10 minutes, for Lioness it seemad like 10 years. Lioness did take off her clothes and almost jumped in to bad, to fall asleep, but soon she found out that colud take time. «Why did you leave me so fast?» Lioness asked herself, «I could go after him.., but what if he gets mad at me, or got together with Madison! Wait, I'm sure he's is not even home yet. Ow my god, now I'm about getting paranoid!» Then Lioness finaly fell asleep.
