Just have to catch my breath;

[For those of you who might recognize this woman, you will probably realize rather quickly that she isn't anything like the others. And if the casual outfit and lack of powers don't give the hint, maybe the little blond boy tugging excitedly at her wrist will. While he's blabbering on incoherently, she is just getting dragged along, looking confused, but overall amused.]

Whoa, whoa, Roxas. You're going to have to slow it down for me.

It's a pleasure to meet you too, Riku.

N-Now do you think you could tell me where I am? The last time I checked, Roxas was sixteen, not. eleven.

[Pats littlexas's head when he walks back over to give her more hugs.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Well, I think he's more like eighteen now, but that's close enough.

[Coffee sip.]

This is a sort of crossroads between worlds. Which means we get dozens of people with the same name and face, but different stories and ages and even genders on occasion.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Blinks a couple times.]

One of the craziest things I've heard, but I guess there's no other logical explanation.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

That's the usual reaction, yeah.

[Smiles a bit.]

The correct-age Roxas is probably either in his room or around nearby if you want to go see him.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

I'd like that very much, actually. Would you mind showing me the way?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[This way please, towards the Roxas Family Hallway.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Which will have a nice big pretty room waiting for her later.

Follows along, littlexas trailing beside her.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[You're going to have your hands quite full with all the trouble magnets in this hallway. Knocks on Roxas' door a bit.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Meaning the entire hallway? Yes, that's okay, she can handle it 8D After a second there's a 'Come in!' and when they enter, they'll see Roxas half under the bed, apparently trying to grab at something.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Should I even bother asking?

[I am so not helping you out if you get stuck.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Gee, thanks a lot :|]

Calla got spooked and now she won't come out!

[Wiggles a bit, as if struggling, and then the bunny darts out from the other end and Roxas scrambles back out, only to whack his head off the bottom. *KONK*]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Winces slightly. Watch your head there.]

Well, not to interrupt your quest, but.

[Ahem.]

[Winces too, rubbing it gently as he turns to look up at them and--

... hi, in total shock here.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Hi, honey.

[Gives him a smile.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

B-But.... how?

[LOOKING TO YOU FOR ANSWERS, RIKU.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

What're you looking at me for? I don't have the answers all of the time.

[It takes him a moment to get over the initial shock of seeing his dead mother in flesh and blood and alive, but he remembers where they are and just shakes his head a bit to clear it. After all, she probably has no idea about the future.]

W-When did you show up?!

[Scrambles up to give her a biiiiig hug.]

2/2

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Laughs a bit, hugging back.]

Not too long ago. Your friend, Riku, was kind enough to show me where to find you.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Surprise.

[Or Merry Christmas, whatever. See what amazing presents I bring you.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Wow, you're an amazing friend. What would I ever do without you? Roxas pulls away from her, looking significantly brighter than he has in the past couple days.]

So has my kind friend here helped you find a room yet?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be interested in saying hi first. But I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Okay, well I need to track Calla down before she gets away again, do you think you can help her with that? I can meet up with you guys in a minute.

[Glances over just in time to see the bunny dart under the dresser.]

... or twenty.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Sure. If you're still having problems after half an hour though, I'm sending Prue in here.

[Smirks, heading back into the hall.]

1/2

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kneels down to reach under the dresser now.]

Come on, Calla!

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Can't help but laugh a bit, before turning to head out the door, looking around a bit.]

So who is Prue, then?
