The sun rises two days later.

Taurus seems like an old memory, other than the fact that his V-Card remains with me.

For some reason, Taurus escaped that morning, only leaving that card.

Omega-Xis mentioned that it could contain Taurus Inferno's powers, but not to use it in case it consumes me.

Petra acts nicer now, mainly because I visit her in the hospital and tell her about MegaGirl, the one who saved her from being fully consumed.

"How's Petra Carter?" I say when I activate my TR.

"Her condition is improving," the computer says.

"Least you got your skates back," Omega-Xis says, "Fusing and defusing take a lot of energy from me."

"I know," I say as I open the door to my room, "At least nobody knows about me."

"That Derek kid could get suspicious," Omega-Xis says, "Remember, you fought Taurus right after midnight, when he tried to 'kiss' you, whatever that is."

I ignore the last comment and say, "Yeah, he could. We'll just see."

I turn off the TR and walk down the stairs.

Grabbing my skates, I notice the note on the noteboard.

La, your mother and I are heading to the hospital. The baby's probably due. There's food in the fridge, and I adjusted the computers to unlock to your voice. Dad.

I roll my eyes and mutter, "And this happens now?"

I put on my skates and walk outside, saying, "Lock all doors."

"Doors are locked," the house computer says.

I begin skating, the wind rushing against my face.

Ever since we met, Omega-Xis and I have gotten closer, down to the point where we're finishing each other's sentences…is this what it's like to be bound to an AM-ian? And are there other differences between FM-ians and AM-ians? I should ask.

"Hey, Omega-Xis," I say, "Are there girl FM-ians?"

A pause before Omega-Xis says, "Two that I fought, and maybe more that I haven't. Why?"

"Who are they?" I ask.

"Ophiuca and Lyra," Omega-Xis says, "Snake and harp."

"What are they like?" I ask.

"You don't want to know," Omega-Xis says, "Ophiuca should be alive, and Lyra's definitely alive because we didn't have to delete her."

"Oh," I say, "Okay. Just curious."
