". . . but the two of you can definately go back to Earth then, if you like. You could stay with Justin's dad so you won't miss any more school."
I was quick to protest. "No," I said firmly. I'd already made my decision- after all, I did have the right to do so. "No, I'm not going anywhere."
I would have explained, but need I? Weren't the reasons plain enough for all to see? I wasn't sure if Sarah wanted to stay or go, since I wasn't sure I understood my sister too well anymore, but I was not going to change my mind.

I manage not to smile at Alexander's adamant refusal. Somehow, I'm not surprised. In truth, I'm rather proud of him. There are some good reasons to get him safely away, but this is his place, too, and I'm glad he's not afraid to find out more.
"You don't have to decide right now," I tell him and Sarah both, although I'm quite sure Alexander isn't about to change his mind. "Maybe by then we'll all be heading home together, anyway. Right now, let's just head down to breakfast, okay?"

"You look marvelous!" Max responds, and I smile as he offers me his arm. I'm glad that he's pleased, to see that look in his eyes always causes something of a warm feeling inside... "Larak is below having breakfast already. Let's gather the children and join them."
"Sure, sounds good..." I settle my arm on his shoulder, just as Sarah's voice sounds in my head. I almost think that I'm only getting half a message from the language, but I see no reason why that would happen...
Max responds, telling her we're on our way, but almost even before he's finished she's calling again, as though she hasn't heard him. I frown and look at Max, seeing a mirror look of confusion on his face as he repeats a similar message. Chewing my lip, I swallow, forcing a smile as we head out of the room. I'm happy to be with Max of course, but I'm worried about Sarah, and I don't know what to do.
Things are so crazy at the moment, and I can fully understand the fact that she might be scared, or confused. I know I am... In fourty eight hours, so much has changed... Even with my visions, I don't know what the future will hold...
Looking down the corridor, we see Alex at Sarah's door, just entering, and we head in that direction, entering the room to find all three kids inside. I raise my eyebrows at the sight of the top Sarah is wearing, feeling it completely unsuitable, but hesitate to mention it for fear of making things worse. That thought makes me blink. I'm afraid to 'talk' to my daughter... I purse my lips, biting down and taking a deep breath. I just don't seem to know her at the moment...
Max goes on to tell the children about speaking to Isabel, informing Justin that he should be able to get home tonight, and Alex asks what his aunt said. As Max mentions Michael being worried, I give a small smile, remembering how things used to be when we were teenagers ourselves. It's been a long time since we were all in the same town...and even longer since the group was truely whole...
An image of Alex springs to the front of my mind and I swallow, trying to get a hold of my emotions again. I don't usually get like this, but I guess the whole situation is beginning to get to me too...
Going on to explain more of what had been said, I look over at Sarah and Xan as their father moves onto the question of them going home possibly without us. I know it's not going to go down well, if it's accepted at all, but I do hope they understand that all we want is the best for them... We want them safe, out of danger... I long so much to be able to give them the normal life I know the two of the crave...
Xan's objection comes as little surprise, being strong and definite, and I smile as Max goes on to say they don't have to decide right now, saying that we might all be able to go home together, although somehow I doubt that is really going to happen. *He's growing up...* I comment silently to Max, feeling a certain pride as again I get a glimpse of the man he's becoming...
"Right, nothing's been decided right now, let's go get something to eat, and we can talk about this more later if needed..." I agree, trying to move them along since Sarah did indicate that Justin was hungry.

*He certainly is,* I silently agree with Liz. Alexander is growing up and I dare say, he's doing it very well. *I'm very proud of him.*
*Justin*
I'm trying to figure out what's going on as Mr. Evans comes and starts talking about my parents and sending me home with Sarah and Xan. I actually think this place is pretty cool, even 'though I don't really understand most of what's going on. Still, I do miss my dad. I keep wishing he were here to talk to and help me figure all this out.
I'm still sorting out what all this means to me when Mr. and Mrs. Evans start talking about sending Sarah and Xan home with me, too. That sounds cool, although I'm not looking forward to going back to school. A little unexpected vacation is nice.
Still, one fact remains. "You talked to their aunt?" I ask Mr. Evans. "If you can call there, why didn't you let me talk to my Dad?"
Mr. Evans looks at me, taking his hands from Sarah and Alexander's shoulders. "It wasn't like a telephone," he explains. "My sister is like me. She's from this world, too and she can talke to people in their dreams. So we were able to talk when I was sleeping. She could have talked to you directly, too, but that might have scared you and you wouldn't have been able to talk to your dad."
I look at him, blinking, and unsure of what to say. She talks to people in their dreams?
"Um.... Yeah. ... Right. ... Maybe we should just get that breakfast, then," I say.

". . . but the two of you can definitely go back to Earth then, if you like. You could stay with Justin's dad so you won't miss any more school." My father said to Xan and me. I frizzed. I know I should be happy and agreeing to go back home on earth. But something inside me made me realize something.
"Dad, Mom, I know school does seem important at the moment. But it’s not that important to me. There no where else in hold Galax I rather be then here on Antar with you two" I said honestly, if I have to stay here forever then I'll adjust to the new arrangement. And plus I don't want live with anyone else beside my family.
"I'm sorry I have been difficult lately, I just don't know how to reaction to that has happened." I said. I look at them. "Please don't be mad at me...."

". . . I know school does seem important at the moment. But it’s not that important to me. There no where else in hold Galax I rather be then here on Antar with you two."
I cocked an eyebrow at my sister. No where else she'd rather be in the entire galaxy except here on Antar? O'right. First of all, I bet my Godfather DVD collection Antar wasn't in the Milky Way. Second of all- she didn't want to be home? Okay, well, sure, here was our school's Ms. Popularity, the same girl who'd been sulky ever since we got here, saying that she loved being on Antar. It wasn't that I wanted to kick her back to Earth, but I wasn't sure if what she'd just said wasn't a lie.
Maybe I was just frustrated with Sarah. Heck, I mean, I was. And it seemed as if she could read my mind, because the next thing she said was- "I'm sorry I have been difficult lately, I just don't know how to reaction to that has happened. Please don't be mad at me...."
Immediately I felt like an idiot. Of course it was hard for her. This place had flipped her personality inside-out. All the more reason for her to go home and get Antar out of her head, but . . . that probably wasn't a possibility now.
"I guess Dad's right. We don't have to decide right now. I'm with Justin- let's get that breakfast," I said, clearing my throat. Sure, I was quite certain that Dad wouldn't be leaving Antar all too soon. But it was breakfast time, for crying out loud. With one hand on the back of my head, I walked out of the room awkwardly and waited for them in the hallway.

*Justin*
"Yeah. Breakfast!" I say, glad that Xan is agreeing with me. I hurry out to the hallway with him, looking forward to something to eat. I thought Sarah would love to go back to Earth, seeing as she said she wasn't going to be eating any food here. She'll have to change her mind on that or she'll be starving pretty soon. Still, it's not really my problem.
I noticed that I wasn't given a choice about staying here. I guess if my dad is expecting me, I really should go but I have to admit that as freaky as this has been, it is kinda cool, too. I'm starting to get used to it -- almost.
"You sure you don't want to go home?" I ask Alexander quietly. "You keep hanging around here and they'll make you wear those halloween costumes again, like your dad."
He looks so different like that. I know it's the same Mr. Evans I've known, but it's strange. Even Mrs. Evans looks different all dressed-up, but at least the dress is mostly normal. I, for one, am very glad that nobody insisted that we dress up like that again for breakfast. I feel a lot more comfortable in my normal Earth clothing.
*Max*
I'm very surprised at Sarah's answer. I expected her to be anxious to go home. Maybe she's just saying she'll stay because she thinks that's what her mom and I want. I really just want her to be happy and safe. She really seems to be unhappy here. She seems jealous of Xadalyn and doesn't like Adayla.
Or maybe that's the reason. Maybe she's afraid that if she's gone, then Xadalyn will really take her place. How can I assure her that she'll always be as loved and important to me as she's always been, whether she's on Earth or on Antar?
I look at Liz, sadly, although I'm sure she doesn't have the answers either. "Let's go then," I say, holding out my arm to Liz again and extending a hand to Sarah as I follow the boys out of the room.

Justin was the first to join me. The poor kid was hungry, no doubt. "You sure you don't want to go home? You keep hanging around here and they'll make you wear those halloween costumes again, like your dad."
I couldn't help but chuckle at that remark. He'd described it just right. "Yeah, they do look pretty weird, huh?" I agreed with a snort, recalling what we'd had to wear the night before. It was cool, sort of kungfu, sort of wushu- but the style made it seem so much like a dress and all. "I don't know. This place really isn't half bad, don'tcha think? In fact, it's actually kinda cool. But we'll see, eh?"
When Mom, Dad, and Sarah had come, I grinned and rubbed my hands together. "Wonder what's on the menu today. Hairy octopus hors d'oeuvres, maybe. Or coconut puffs with garlic," I joked, hoping to find some cheer in the morning in case we were to stand up to ultimate gloom later on. Couldn't hurt to laugh a little now, right?

"It is weird," I laugh. I wonder if they even have anything as normal as octopus and coconut. I haven't asked 'cause I'm afraid what I've been eating might be way more weird than that. "And it's very spicy. What is it with you guys and spicy food? That stuff should come with flamability ratings. Like those hazard diamonds they use for chemicals."

My dad nor my mom said much, but then again it is a tough situation. My dad pull out his hand for me to take it. And I smile as I take it. He leads my mom and me into the hallways. I see Xan rubbing his hands together with a smile, "Wonder what's on the menu today. Hairy octopus hors d'oeuvres, maybe. Or coconut puffs with garlic," he said. And I can't help but the food sound gross.
"Um don't they have some earth food?" I ask not to excite about breakfast.
