Sara tried to move. She tried to speak. She tried to scream, yell, lash out, anything. But time was frozen. All she could see was the innocent gesture that lay before her, of two seemingly innocent people. Two dirty, rotten, seemingly innocent people. Kyle was kissing Kimi. And they both seemed to enjoy it.
They pulled apart and stared at each other. Sara couldn't stand it and turned on her heel, desperate sobs following her. The two occupants of the training room snapped to the door just in time to see a blonde blur. "Oh shit," was their simultaneous response, before attention snapped back to each other, wide-eyed.
Sara ignored the fact that she was only a level away from her own bedroom and instead opted to pass by the open living room door to run up to the roof, in a flurry of tears. Danny may be thick, but he didn't fail to notice, and was up in a second to follow after her. He was only about five yards behind her the whole way, but she didn't realize he was there, and slammed the door in his face when she went hit the cool September air.
Sara collapsed on the ground near the edge and hid her face in her arms, and either didn't notice or ignored the soft click of the door when Danny came out. Her back heaved and fell, and Danny's expression fell at the sight. She was such an innocent person, and he had no idea why Kyle would want to hurt her.
Then again, he had no idea his girlfriend had been kissing another guy.
"Sara," he started softly.
"Go away!" she yelled through her violent sobs.
"Sara..." he trailed off, sitting next to her and rubbing her back gently. "Sara, whatever he said, he's not worth it. No guy is worth your tears. Trust me, we may not be intelligent, but we're not all assholes. Maybe he wasn't the right one."
"That's not it," she cried desperately, looking up at him through her blurry vision. She could barely make out his features. "He didn't say anything to make me cry like this. No guy could. I'm not that dependent." It was all shaky, though, and he could barely understand her. But he got the gist.
"Sare, it's ok, tell me what he did. I'm one of those guys that actually tries to understand other women. I won't pretend I understand, but I'll listen," he told her.
"He was kissing-He was kissing-" And she started crying all over again.
"He was kissing who? Clara?" he asked. She shook her head in disagreement. "Then who?"
"Kimi!" she gasped, and she continued crying.
Danny's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "What?" he asked quietly, truly believing he misunderstood her. He must have.
"It was Kimi." She sat up, cross-legged, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "I saw them with my own two eyes, and ran out of there as fast as I could. I couldn't let them see me, and let them know I saw them."
Suddenly, the roof access door flew open and out flying came Kimi, Kyle at her heel. "We can explain," they both started at once.
Danny and Sara both stood up, shakily. "Save it," Danny mumbled angrily, and keeping his head down, stormed past her.
"Danny!" she called. "Danny, wait!" And she flew out after him, down the stairs and supposedly to follow him as he locked himself in his room.
Sara turned her back on Kyle and crossed her arms, sniffling. "How could you do that? Ruin something Kimi and Danny had. Ruin my feelings along with it? You're a monster, Kyle."
She stepped closer towards the edge, looking down upon the pointy rocks below. Kyle was about to respond when her cell phone rang. She pulled it from her pocket and pressed it to her ear. "Look, Jared, I can't talk right now so I'll explain later but I don't think it's going to work out. I'm sorry. Don't bother coming over." She waited for him to say a timid 'ok', and then goodbye, before she hung up and put the cell phone back in her pocket. She turned towards Kyle and crossed her arms, taking on a defensive stance. "You have ten seconds to tell me why I should not just turn you into a Eunuch right now for doing that to three supposed friends of yours."
"I didn't do anything, Sare, believe me! She tripped, and it happened by accident, and it was only a second long. You came right when it happened. We pulled apart instantly, and we both realized what had happened; nothing! It showed me that I only have feelings for one person, and that one person is you!" he told her desperately. Sara was shocked, but would not show it. "Please believe me."
"I wish I could, Kyle." Even though he had just proclaimed his sort-of love for her.
But Sara merely turned and chanted a single mantra, before flying off the building without another look back.

"Danny!" Kimi called in desperation. "Danny, c'mon, don't do this, babe."
"How could you do this to me, Kim?" he asked her, his cries evident through the door. "You knew I loved you more than anything. How could you go off and betray my trust, and just flush that love down the drain?"
"I'm sorry, Dan! I didn't mean to. I swear on my life, I tripped and that's just the awkward position we landed in. Nothing happened. If anything, that kiss showed me how madly in love I am with you. I swear, I would never even think of betraying your love or trust. I care about you far too much. I love you, Daniel Tucker Harrison."
There was a moment of silence, and no response followed. Kimi sighed heavily and leaned against the door. "How can I believe that?" he asked hoarsely. "How am I supposed to believe you?"
"You love me, Danny. You shouldn't have to question if you believe me or not. You should believe me because you know me well enough to never lie to you. You are everything to me. My best friend, my support, my boyfriend, and the love of my life. I may only be a teenager, but I believe I know love, and it's right in front of me."
There was a slight rustling and the door slid open, causing Kimi to stumble. She looked at Danny expectantly, his red puffy eyes and his tear-stained cheeks. "It hurt, you know?" he croaked. "Hearing that you had kissed another guy."
"I know it must've hurt beyond belief, but I promise you it will never happen again, and it shouldn't even have happened in the first place," she whispered. Kimi raised her arms and waited for a signal to see if it was ok to hug him, and he nodded slightly. She smiled and wrapped her arms tight around his neck, burying her face into his shoulder. "I'm so lucky to have someone like you."
Danny was silent for a moment and refrained from hugging her back. "You're on probation, as far as I'm concerned."
"Of course. I don't care. I'd do anything to make sure you're not mad at me. I'd declare my faithfulness to you from the highest mountain I could reach, as cliche and corny as that sounds." Kimi smiled softly to herself. She was such a wussy-romantic.
Danny smiled slightly as they both pulled away. "I wouldn't have you any other way, Kim-bo."

Sara reached a secluded and rather beautiful spot on an island a little less than half a mile from the tower. She had been exploring one day and found it, and surprisingly you could barely see the tower and anyone on the tower couldn't see you. It was a small island that was encircled by beach and led into a valley of trees and a little meadow.
Sara plopped to the sand and hung her head, her elbows resting on her knees. "How can I believe him?" she asked herself. "How can..." she trailed off and changed her question. "How could I have trusted him in the first place? How could I have been naive enough to believe he was one of the good ones. I'll never find one of the good ones."
Old memories resurfaced and tears stung her eyes. "I'll never find one of the good ones. Dirt deserves dirt."
Sara dug her hands into the sand and let it flow through her fingers like water. A wave hit the shoreline just a few feet in front of her and made a soft crash. A crab washed ashore and crawled back into the sea.
Sara sighed. "What to do? Kyle seems so sweet and innocent and he's...perfect! But, is he really? Does he really care about you?"
Sara thought to herself for a few more minutes. An internal battle waged in her mind. Should she let Kyle in, even more than he already was? Or just shut him out and forget about what could've been entirely.
Or, maybe she was just being melodramatic.
It was probably the latter, but she wasn't going to admit it to herself.
Sara sat for a long while more (at least two or three hours, still debating), before sitting up and beginning to fly back towards the tower. She landed on her own windowsill and opened the window from the outside, slipping undisturbed into her own bedroom. It was quiet, and it was bright from the numerous windows, her favorite thing in the world. Quiet and bright was an amazing combination to her.
She fell onto her bed and looked up towards the ceiling, where she had taped a picture of Orlando Bloom.
Hey, she never said she wasn't optimistic.
But, not wanting to look at any guy right now, she turned on her side and looked to her bed stand, where a note lay. She reached for it and slowly let it fall open. She sat up, and read thoroughly.
Sara-
Jake and I went out for a little while for lunch and maybe a movie. Inform the others. We'll be good, won't be back late, and won't get into trouble.
Well, not much.
-Clara.
Sara sighed. Must be nice to have someone love you like that. Her sister was one lucky girl.
Sara fell forward onto her bed and covered her face with her arms. She just wanted to take a nap. A really, really long nap. She didn't want to bother with taking a shower (since she probably needed it), or even getting up in general to do things necessary of humans. She wanted to stay laying on her nice, comfortable, warm bed, laden with its silken sheets. Oh, life would be much simpler if nothing needed to be done but sleep.
Alas, life is not that simple.
"Sara?" a timid voice called as someone knocked on her door. She sighed in annoyance, turned over on her bed, and stared up at a blank spot on her ceiling. "Sara? Are you in there? I want to talk to you."
"Please, Kyle, go away. I don't want to talk," she snapped, her words muffled.
"Sara...Sare...please listen," he begged.
"I said go away! Don't make me hurt you!" she cried in anger.
He was sure she wouldn't, but he didn't want to push. But yet, he did. "Sare, just listen. I'm so sorry. For everything. I'm an asshole, I know, but give me the chance and I can try and make things right. I can try and win back your trust, and keep it. I won't do anything to wrong you again," he pleaded.
But Sara was not to be swayed as Danny had been. She didn't answer.
He sighed, audibly heard through the door. "Sara, I will prove to you that I only care about you like that. And I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you earlier but Clara told me you wouldn't want to talk to me after our fight, and I respected that. I really do like you, Sare, and for however long it takes I will do everything in my power to show you that.""
Again, he was met with only silence. He leaned tiredly against her door and groaned.
This was going to be one hell of a week.

Nobody knew what to do. They just went rigid and lost air and fell back. Their eyes rolled and the two fell stiff to the floor, as if under some sort of spell. They both began to shake uncontrollably and he called out her name, crying hoarsely. He hadn't even gained her trust back, yet, even with all of his sweet actions. But he was never more scared in his life than he was now.
"Sara!" he screamed, and she ceased to notice anything else around her.
Except they were both in different rooms, one in her room, and one in the living room, so no one noticed when Clara went into a comatose state. "Danny!" He called into his communicator. "Get Clara and Taku and bring them up to the living room right away."
Kimi moved in. "Give her air," he ordered, lifting her with all his might onto the couch and then preciously taking her hand. "Let her breath. C'mon, Sare, come back to us." His other hand reached up to brush the golden locks from her face, as he examined her still body. What had just happened?
Suddenly, Sara began shaking, almost like intense shivering. Then she began convulsing again and she emitted small squeaks of terror. "Kyle! Kyle!" came through his communicator, and he whipped it out to see Danny's horrified expression, hearing the same squeaks come from behind him. "Clara's having an episode!"
"Shit!" Kyle cursed. "You or Taku has to carry her up here, and hurry up!" He closed his communicator and put it back into his pocket, before his hand retired to stroking her hair, and his other hand rubbed her arm. "C'mon, Sare." He took her hand. "Pull through. Come back." She began shaking more violently and her back arched and her hips bucked. A shrill scream of terror broke the slight silence.
Kyle continued to try and sooth her, but to no avail. Taku ran into the living room, carrying Clara, followed by Danny. "Is she ok?" Taku and Danny both asked, worried. Taku set her down on the couch near her sister, and Danny took her side, while Taku turned and could barely look at her in such a state. Kimi sat next to her head and began stroking her hair as both of the twins calmed down.
"What just happened?" Taku asked shakily. "Clara...she was so...I was scared for her."
"I don't know, but we need to get them down to the medical bay to transfer their brain waves to the computer to see if we can see what they see," Kyle announced, scooping Sara up in his arms bridal style. "One of you, grab Clara and follow me."
Who would know they would help prevent Kori Anders' death.
