Eclipse scowled. "And he was named after it, not the other way."

"I see. Poor guy."

"It was almost called Moon Shine. But that's..."

"Yeah I know."

The teen looked at her adult counter part. "Wow. I get bustier than Tawny. Didn't know that was possible."

"Um... yeah." Eclipse looked at her younger one. "Can I borrow some clothes? These are gross."

"Yeah. I don't think you'll fit in my clothes."

"I know. Don't worry about it." She walked over to a pole in the room, grabbed it and jumped down a hole.

Eclipse slid down the pole, looking for her sister's room. She found it and wrinkled her nose. The room was a salmon pink and a white carpet. Eclipse started to tip toe, and then reminded herself her sister was down stairs. Eclipse walked over to the mahogany dresser. She pulled it open and saw bras and underwear. She scowled. "I forgot! She isn't like me who keeps this stuff in the closet." Eclipse closed the drawer and opened the closet. She stared at the clothes. Almost everything was red and pink. Some things were back, others beige. She groaned. "I must have given hr all of my red clothes."

Eclipse reached in and started looking at the blouses. "Ooh!" She pulled a white Chinese style blouse, with black roses on the back. She reached in again and pulled a black coat. She turned and put the clothes on the bed. "Now the question. A black skirt or pants?" She looked at her legs. "Skirt." She went to another drawer and pulled it open. A bunch of skirts were folded neatly. Eclipse reached in and pulled out three black ones. One was knee length and flared out a bit because of a crinoline, another was like a micro mini, which Eclipse immediately held up and burned it up. The last one was perfect. Knee length, no crinoline, casual. But it didn't go with combat boots. Eclipse opened the closet again and grabbed a bunch of shoe boxes. She opened a box, and grinned. In the box there was a pair of boots, small heel, and very sturdy. She yanked on the clothes and grabbed her old clothes. She grabbed the pole and shot up. Johnny was on the computer, reading something, and so was her younger self. She rolled her eyes. "Yo me."

"Yes, me?"

"Can I borrow a book bag?"

"Sure." The teen got up and went to a dresser. She opened the last draw and pulled out a backpack. "Hope you like black."

"I do."

Johnny looked up and closed the laptop. Eclipse walked over (after stuffing her old clothes and other items in the bag) and placed the bag in her bag. She zipped it and looked at the teen. "Okay. Now. The creek is two hours away by car, not to mention its tourist season. So get me a car."

The teen nodded and motioned to follow her. Eclipse and Johnny stepped onto the stairs and the teen pressed a button. The steps turned into a slide. Eclipse laughed as the three of them slid down the slide. The teen threw her hands up and howled.

"Ah man! Its over!"

Eclipse laughed and stood up. She turned and looked at Johnny. He simply looked up at her, got up and walked past, following the teen. Eclipse scowled. "He's no fun."

"C'mon!"

Eclipse shook her head and ran after them.

The teen walked into the kitchen, aware of the unseen people behind her. She walked over to the key tree. She reached out and grabbed Silver stone's work car keys.

"Ahem, little sister. But those are my keys."

"Ach!" Eclipse looked at the opening in the wall, AKA, the bar. Silver sat there, smiling at her over a cup of chocolate milk.

"As I said, those are my keys."

"I know. I need to borrow them."

"Why? You can't drive."

"Um… Roz does! I gottagoseeyoulater!" She ran out the back door. Her brother chuckled.

"Such a dork. Probably thought I couldn't see her older self and friend. Heh. Roz can't drive yet."

The teen handed Eclipse the keys. "That was close."

"Yep. Eclipse walked to the garage and clicked a button. The door opened and a sleek, black car rolled out. She grinned. "Nice choice. I like it. Hop in everyone. Lets hope we make the midnight deadline."

"Midnight?"

"Why midnight?"

Eclipse gasped and looked at the teen. "How could you say that? Think back."

The teen got in the back and the other two in the front. Eclipse checked her mirrors pulled her hair in a ponytail, made sure her sleeves were rolled down and her collar was up to hide her tattoos. She glanced at the teen, made sure she was buckled, looked at Johnny, made sure he was buckled, and looked at herself, making sure she was buckled. "Okay…. Wait. Music." She looked at Johnny. "Front pocket of the bag, an MP3 player should be there. Give it to me please and the cassette." She took them, plugged the cassette in, pulled a wire from… somewhere, and plugged that in, then plugged the MP3 player into the wire. Johnny raised an eyebrow. She grinned. "I'm cheap and use the old stuff." She pressed play and the song "Defying Gravity" from the Wicked soundtrack came on. Eclipse grinned. "Now I'm ready."

She pulled out and went to the gate. It opened and she zoomed out.

The teen stared off into the distance. She remembered his voice, his laugh. That dorky noise he made when you poked his left shoulder blade. She stroked her belt, remembering when she got home after the funeral she found it on her bed.

"What do the flowers mean?"

"What?" She looked up at Johnny.

"On your belt. What do they mean?"

"Oh." The teen looked at her hands. "There is a bunch. Which ones?"

"Give me a list. Except that acacia, doesn't it mean secret love?"

"Yeah. Astible means 'I'll still be waiting', butterfly weed is 'let me go', red carnation is 'my heart aches for you', forget me not is true love, memories…" Her voice broke and Eclipse continued.

"Gardenia means you're lovely and secret love

Hibiscus is delicate beauty,

White Hyacinth is loveliness or I'll pray for you,

Iris is faith hope, wisdom valor, my compliments,

Night blooming Jasmine is Love's Vigil,

Lilac is first love,

Lily calla is 'your voice is like music to me',

Lily of the Valley is Tears of the Virgin Mary,

Stargazer Lily is 'I see heaven in your eyes',

Nightshade means truth,

Primrose is 'I cant live without you',

Prince's Flower is 'I blush for you',

Black rose is 'You are my obsession' and death,

Lavender Rose is Enchantment and Love at first sight,

Long-stemmed roses are 'I will remember you always'

Star of Bethlehem is Purity,

And Yellow Tulips are hopelessly in love."

Johnny looked at her. "You memorized them?"

"Yeah. I have a tattoo of a Begonia on the space above my butt, like on my lower back. It means 'beware'."

"Really?"

"Yeah, wanna see?"

"S-."

"MALE IN THE CAR ALERT!"

"…"

"Heh. Why you blushing?"

"It on my back! You see the top half when I wear a crop shirt and my pants at my waist! No that your looking, and if you are…."

"Still. I. Do not. Want. To. See. It. AND I'M NOT LOOKING!"

"Why you such a stick in the mud? Huh? It's on her lower back. Your not gonna see your butt."

"I still don't care! I don't want to see it."

"It's okay. I'll see it later anyway."

"When?!"

"When I get it. Man, when did I get smart? A year ago?"

"Hey, you know you shouldn't diss your past self like that."

"If she kills me, she kills her future. And she can think of it as exercise for the vein in her neck."

Johnny and the teen laughed softly. Johnny glanced at Eclipse. She was drumming her fingers on the steering wheel in time to the song. He looked out the window. The City was gone and they were driving next to the lake. He had never seen a prettier sight. They started going up a hill. Suddenly, the car stopped. He looked a head and his jaw dropped. In front of them was a whole line of cars waiting to be parked.

"Ach! Eclipse."

"Yes past me?"

"Your eyes! Change the color of your eyes!"

"Oh crap yeah." Her eyes turned brown and she grabbed a pair of sunglasses.

"Um… should I ask?"

"I'm the only person in Atlantis with green eyes. So…"

"I see."

A police man walked up to the car. "Well, well, well. If it aint our pretty princess. Whatcha doin with these people?"

"Um…" The teen thought fast. "My friend, her boyfriend and I are going to see Moon glimmer valley!" Eclipse flinched and turned her face away from the police man.

"Uh-huh. Now…"

The teen flared. "Hey! You have no right to question me! Now let us pass." Eclipse flinched and looked at Johnny. She mouthed, "Sorry."

"All right Princess. Now you know where to park."

"Right." The teen looked at Eclipse. "Go past traffic in the other lane. No ones coming down."

Eclipse nodded and went. She glanced in the rear view mirror as they past the police man. When he was out of sight she scowled. "My friend and her boyfriend? That's all I could come up with?"

"And have you thought better?"

"How about 'my friend and her brother'? Cousin? Any thing but boyfriend! I mean, I came up with the excuse 'I'm meeting someone at the top of the hill, and my friends are coming as adult supervision'!"

"Well it too late! So congrats! You and future-and-other-dimension boy are dating!"

"Gah! You suck!"

Johnny shook his head. He spotted a waterfall out of the corner of his eye. "Hey! What the waterfall called?"

"Yellow tulips."

"That's what it's called?"

"Yep."

A thought struck Johnny. What's today's date?"

"Um… May first. Why?"

"Ah! Squee's birthday is in two days! May third."

The teen raised an eyebrow. "Squee? Who's Squee?"

"My son."

"OOH! YOU HAVE A SON! Wow! What it like? Is it a boy? I have a cousin named Pepito! He's three!"

"She loves boys."

"So do you."

"No, no! I love men. Big difference."

"Ahahahahahaha!"

"OMFG! Was that a laugh, Johnny? A real laugh? Not a chuckle?!"

"No. It was neither."

"Why don't you smile? You know, when someone smiles, the world seems a little brighter. Especially when you have my teeth." She smiled and Johnny noticed how white and straight her teeth were.

"Yeah well, my teeth aren't that white, or straight."

"But who's looking? It only matters whether you smile or not? I bet you look less like a corpse when you smile." She smiled at him.

"Hey! A parking spot!" The teen leaned forward. "Take it!" A car was coming opposite of them.. Eclipse ginned and pressed a button. A saw came out of the ca hood and aimed itself to the other car. The other car sped away an Eclipse took it. "That's right. My spot, babe."

"Has really been two hours?"

"No. Three hours."

Johnny shook his head and grabbed Eclipse's book bag. They got out and he handed the bag to Eclipse. She was staring at the foot path that led into the trees. She took the bag, looked behind her and started walking. Johnny looked at the teen, which shrugged and followed her. Johnny sighed and followed them.

Eclipse sighed and looked at the forest floor. She saw dead leaves and sighed. Nothing comforting stared up at her. She hadn't seen the valley and creek in years. She heard crunching behind her and the teen came up behind her. The teen looked at her and back o the floor. Eclipse heard Johnny dragging his feet though the leaves. She sighed and stopped when she looked up. Behind her, Johnny groaned. "Ooh. Now how the hell are we going to get though that?"

In front of them, a huge crowd was spread up and down the creek bank. Eclipse and the teen looked at each other, grins spreading across their faces. Johnny looked at them.

"What's the look for?"

"I have an idea."

"Oh no."

Hahahahahaha! I was going to have Johnny say, 'Oh god. I'm doomed', but then I changed it. Cause I didn't like it. Actually, I just wanted to change it, because I got bored with it.

Eclipse: Oh Man! I spilled my coffee!

E: It's 5:52. Why are you drinking coffee?

Eclipse: …………… IT'S SPECIAL COFFEE! DON'T JUGDE ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! runs off screaming 'Destroy us all'

E: O.o Oh wow.

Nyasha: You should know what she's like without her special, Guatemalan coffee in the day. Actually…. YOU'RE LIKE THAT!

E: ……..

Nyasha: E? Yoo-hoo. E. Um… E's mom, can you get her a soda. Please. She's falling a-
