Chapter 3
Getting a ride to Florida wasn't that difficult, but meeting it turned out to be. Due to the strange behavior by the young teen age cheerleader, the school was relucent to let her go any where unless it was into the arms of the local police force. However, they did manage to find around all the police and school officials. Sitting on the plane she sighed. Ron was rattling on still about how cool it was he was talking to a real live princess, and Kayla just wished she was anywhere but there at the moment.
“I guess I'd better start from the beginning.” She sighed taking a deep breath before speaking again. “Over 10000 years ago, our moon was home to great unified world headed by the silver moon. It was a happy time filed with piece and prosperty, and during that time Queen selenity had two daughters. Her first born was trained in the ways of her people to be nothing more then a figure head, while her second born was trained to fight and defend her home. There names were Princess Kayla, and Princess Serenity. Kayla and Serenity, were not only twins, but the best of friends. However, Like I said Kayla was raised to become the next queen, while Serenity was tought to fight with her cort to defend her home.
Kayla wanted to fight, but her mother would hear none of it, saying things like. `Your just going to get yourself hurt,' and `Blind people are meant to look like something they are not.' If that wasn't enough Serenity was not like her sister and despised the training. However, there was one thing about her that made them so close, that being the soul fact she treated Kayla like an equal when no one else would. Kayla spent most of her life in deep depression though her sister and her inner cort the only friends she had, and even that didn't seem to cure the ache in the young princess's heart.
However, the peace wasn't to last for you see a complex love spat was eing fought between Serenity a woman named Bayral, and the prince of Earth. Serenity and the Prince were lovers, and even though it was ill fated and some what forbbeden, they continued their love affair. Unable to win the Earth Prince's heart, Baryal met with some dark power, and wadged an all out war on the earth and moon. She tried to get his heart, but even after his loyal cort members and his generals were brought to her side and torn from their senshi loves, he still fought to protect his beloved Serenity. However, Kayla was the first to fall, with no way to defend herself and no one protecting her Bayral was able to kill her easily.
Durring the battle the moon begun crumbbeling, but the worriors fought on. After the prince took a stab wound to the back, Serenity used the power of the silver crystal to destroy the planet Earth and its moon. Several years later, the planet was reborn and The princess and her people, including her sister were sent to live on earth their memories lost to them all.
Then when Serenity was 14, Bayral returned with the generals and started to attack earth. With her cat guardian Luna, she and her fellow senshi defeated her and returned the generals back to what they once were, but even that had its price. To do this she ended up destroying then restoring the planet shattering the crystal. However, there is still a part of it left. You see, in order to avoid having one princess with complete and total power, the crystal was split. Half of it going to Kayla, the other half going to Serenity.” She explained then waited for Ron to respond.
“But, what about the whole two people in one thing?” he asked after a while.
“You see, even though our memories were whipped clean, part of us retained some of it. In other words no matter what, our past is our past and will always be a part of who we are.” She explained.
“But what about the powers thing?” Ron asked.
“Well that…you see the portion of the crystal that granted my sister power shattered in the battle with Bayral, but I still have the other part of it…or rather my body does. Since being a moon princess is still in my blood and always is going to be a part of who I am, I was able to in heart the powers after the defeat of Bayral. You see after being reborn, Serenity and I lived as normal every day people forced to do everything for ourselves. When my mother saw this, she gave me the power in the event I'd have to defend myself. Now, that I'm 21 evil has returned and I now take over from where my sister left off.” She finished.
“Cool!” Ron said smiling seemingly clueless to everything that had just happened thus far seeming if he wasn't even listening.
She sighed as the plan landed and they got off. Looking around, she tried to think of the best way to get home. Spotting a near by bus stop, she drug Ron onto it and then paid for them both to take them to the transfer plaza. ::I sure hope that she's at home right now…:: she thought knowing that Kim most likely wouldn't be able to get far with her limits.
Speaking of the said teen hero was learning just how hard it was living in Kayla's body. Not only was the girl nearly completely blind save for bits of light and color perception, but she was in a wheelchair from back trouble, CP, and a knee condition that has yet to be properly treated. Needless to say it took her nearly the whole day to figure out how to take care of herself, in the ways of dressing, cleaning up, and eating and cooking for herself. George had tried to get the day off upon seeing the woman who looked like his lover struggling so, but wasn't able to. Before he left though he was sure to leave some things behind so if she got hungery she might be able to figure out how to heat them up.
He himself was having a hard enough time taking the news of what had happened to her. Her friends had told him everything about her powers, her fighting, and the accident that caused this, but until he saw the results, he found it a little hard to believe. He tried to concentrate, but his mind wouldn't let him relax. He had called home several times when it was slow enough to check up on her to find that she had found her way to the couch and was trying to enjoy t.v. with little luck. It wasn't so much listening to the t.v. that was the problem, it was the fact no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't seem to get the hang of not being ale to see it and growled every time her eyes led her on.
Wade had gotten a hold of the cell, and called her to inform her that her body and Ron were on their way. Luckly for Kim, answering the phone was the easiest of her tasks to do, yet she had to wonder how bad she looked in her choice of clothing. That thought alone caused her cheeks to turn three shades of red.
Picking up the remote, she flipped through channel after channel finding nothing she wanted to listen to. She had quickly realized that her selection was down to 40 max chanels not even 1/3 of what she was used to back home. ::How do they live like this?:: she thought as she tossed the remote across the room where it made contact with the television before landing with a soft thud on the carpet.
A soft knocking broke her from her thoughts and she struggled, but made her way to the door just the same. Undoing both locks, she opened it straining to see who it was on the other side. However, she didn't have to try to hard when a voice she thought she would never hear again spoke. “So this is where you live…. Nice…” he said before two arms flung themselves around him.
“Hi, there Ron, I'm so glad to see you…. And you must be Kayla.” Kim said as she tried looking through Kayla's eyes to look at her body on the other side of the door.
“Hai, that I am. You know, if you relax your body and mind, it makes doing every day tasks a whole lot eaiser.” The other girl said knowing exactly what Kim was going through having gone through it as it happened only to end up with the current day results.
“I just have one question…How can you do this…?” she asked.
Kayla entered her home and smiled softly as her cat came up and started to check out the appearance of the two strangers at the door. “well you see, its been that way all of my life and I don't really know any different. After a while you get used to it and your body adapts to the permanent changes.” She explained. “And, in case you were wondering, we aren't looking for pitty, but just to be treated like we are just anybody else. Blind people and or mulity disabled people such as myself, still enjoy everything normal people do, we just have to do things a little differently. I like going to the mall, listening to music…swimming…amoung other things. I have friends, and a lover. I'm currently holding down a job at the local pizza hut going on my second year, and as of late I fight crime.” She said ignoring the shocked look Kim was giving her.
“You fight….but..how?” she asked trying to look at the hands she now had.
“its not easy, but I manage. “ Kayla responded. She was about to say more when Kim's wade broke in with a comment of his own. “Guys… I'm glad to see you made it. Now we need to get everyone together to come up with a plan.” Wade said to which both girls nodded.
“It will be good to get back in my own body…” they both mused aloud.
“Jinx you owe me a soda…” Kim commented when she realized what they did.
Both girls laughed and talked for a couple of more hours before George came home. It turned out they had a lot more in common with each other and were going to be fast friends. Kayla had even taken the time, despite the interruptions from George and Ron, to repeat her story of her past. She hated to tell the story, and by the time she was finished she had tears in her eyes stinging and burning as she tried fighting them off.
George wrapped his arms around the sobbing girl feeling a little strange about doing so seeing as how she wasn't his. Kayla welcomed the hug and snuggled into it even if it was a different body, her mind still functioned the same. Kim watched them seeing how much he had loved her, and her heart ached to feel the same.
For quite some time, she had feelings for Ron, but didn't know how to express it. For the longest time she simply ignored it treating it just like one of her crushes…ones that only lasted for a while in her mind then left. Now ever since the accident, she couldn't stop thinking of the need to fall in love. She figured that it was just because George was being nice, treating her no different, even though she wasn't exactly the same person he had fallen in love with.
::Maybe its …:: she started to think, but dismissed the idea just as quickly. What ever the reason in the sudden change of heart, she knew she had to act fast. She tried shrugging it off as just being the teenager she was, but found that task easier said then done. Yawning she sighed looking over at Ron with tired eyes. “We had better go, we've wasted enough time.
“No, please stay with us. I know our home isn't the best, and its rather small for four people, but we once housed that many for two weeks, one night isn't anything.” George offered to which Kayla nodded.
“No we couldn't…..it wouldn't be right…” Kim started before Ron cut her off.
“Come on, someone is offering us a free place to stay for the night the least we can do is take them up on it. I mean our perks of travel don't include over night lodging.” He said.
She sighed. “I don't feel right about this, but alright… we can stay…” She said in a rejected tone, one she used when Ron managed to out smart her.
With that said, George set to work on preparing the couch bed for who ever wanted it and set out some extra blankets. Locating the couch on the far wall, Kim made a make-shift bed out of it having a lot to think over before resigning herself to sleep with another person epically one of the opposite sex. She had thought about countless times before, but when the chance came to do it for real, her heart wasn't in it. ::Maybe if the sitch was different, I could do this, but… its not…:: her mind told her. With that last thought in mind, she drifted off to sleep her mind already planning out what to say when she confronted the other Sailor senshi.
