Greg sat back and thought, "She is a sweat girl and she was just trying to protcet Frank at the time, I hope" HE gave a nervus laugh.

Frank pulled Amanda into his lap and held her close, "Of what?" he asked with worry

Bill thougth for a second, Well, thats true but I feel like the child that gets left behind and forgoten about, do you ever feel that way? YOu were a Main Character wern't you?

Amanda started shaking. "Of you." she said painfully looking into his eyes. "Because of you." she clarified. She pulled her knees onto Frank's lap and hugged them. She began to quietly sob.

Dimitri cringed as he felt Amanda's response. Although he knew that she had meant to be alone with Frank, he couldn't help but reach into her mind. Concentrating on Greg, he said. "She was. She thought you were a threat. Hell, I thought you were a threat. She wears her heart on her sleeve, if you couldn't already tell." Dimitri laughed. "I don't want her to get hurt again."

Hai pouted. Yes, I was a main character. A long time ago. That doesn't matter now.

Frank held her close "I am sorry Amanda, I noramly don't do what i did last night or today, I am not sure why I did it" he frouned and tears started to well up "But I know who I did it for"

Greg nodded, "I think Frank and Amanda will be a good couple. Once Frank is himself again" he said looking at the table

Bill looked at Hai So in thery one of us could become a main, from our minor state?

Amanda let her sobs continue as Frank talked to her. "Do you know? Frank, do you really know?" she said lifting her head, her eyes burning from the tears.

Dimitri sighed. "I don't doubt that. It's just," he thought for a moment, "Amanda puts her whole heart on the line. If she loves him, she'll die for him. I don't want him to cast her aside." he looked away. "I don't want to know what she'd do without him."

Hai laughed. You'll have to take that up with the writers. They are, after all, the ones making the story.

Frank let the tears fall, "Yes last nights fight was a selfish on only. BUt this morning, it was for you Amanda, a little for me but mostly you" he hugged her "I love you Amanda"

Greg nodded "I know the feeling, I felt the same way about my daughter when she told me she had a boyfriend"

Bill looked up Did he just say daughter???

Amanda tried to wrestle out of Frank's arms. "You're just saying that to boost your ego and make me feel better." Anger as setting in her heart. "I don't enjoy being played with Frank." She struggle more. "Let. Me. Go." She looked at his shocked face. "Now."

Dimitri didn't a double take. "What the hell did you just say?" He looked at Greg, his eyes full of surprise. He smiled then shook his head. "Frank doesn't know that, does he?"

Hai was just as surprised as Dimitri. See, I open my big mouth and the writers dish out something like this. Are you happy Bill? I blame you for this late subplot!

Frank let Amnda go "If you want to think that go ahead, but I am telling you the truth okay, My ego is so low boosting it myself can not happen." he said calmly

Greg shook his head "No he doesn't and I don't want him to"

Bill looked at Hai My fault how is it my fault?

Suddenly freed from Frank's grasp, Amanda fell onto the floor. "Why is your ego low?" she spit out ignoring the sudden burst of pain. "You're good looking, and kind; you're a great trainer, and you obviously love pokemon. Who in their right mind would hate themselves because of that?" She stood and brushed her still bare legs off. "Maybe being a mouse runs in your family. Look at yourself and man up Frank. Seriously." She started to walk towards the kitchen but the anger she made her want to twist the knife. "Like Dimitri." she said, then instantly regretted it. She turned quickly. "Frank, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that."

Dimitri could feel Amanda's anger, but sat still and tried to ignore it. "Why the big family secret?"

Hai growled. Because you're someone I can blame easily. Everyone else would be confused. We're out of the context of what's happening.

Bill huffed Fine

Frank was hurt but did not show it, "Amanda, Let it all out, it is better out then in, when it is in you are not yourself. Trust me"

Greg sighed "HIs mother thought it was best, and well she was always right about that kind of Stuff. Julie is Frank's twin and she lives in Ptolos, With her aunt."

Amanda stood still. "How do you know when I'm myself or not?" she asked coldly. "You barely know me." She looked at Frank, and could tell he was hurt. Right now, she couldn't care less. She walked back to the couch and straddled his lap. "You don't know me at all." she murmured as she pressed her lips to his. She flung her arms around his neck and began to tickle his lips with her tongue. "Mmm... Frank." she moaned as she wound her fingers in his hair.

((sorry Z. I'm in the middle of a romance novel binge... I'm up to about 10 already. This was bound to happen anyway!))

Dimitri laughed. "Ptolos? The very town that we're going to. Aren't you worried the Frank will meet this, Julie? If indeed they are twins, won't they recognize each other?" Dimitri cut off all ties to Amanda's mind and shook his head. "That boy of yours is in for a surprise." he said not sure which situation he was talking about.

Hai raised her head and looked around. Great, the writers have finally snapped. Geesh, what's going to happen now? Dimitri and Greg going at it in the kitchen? I call bad writing! The writers, getting slightly annoyed at the opinions of a certain character, consider using "divine justice" and removing certain character from the plot. I mean really people, it's not like certain character moves the plot along in anyway. And frankly - no pun intended - that character has become a pain. *wink wink* cast your votes as to the fate of certain character and find out the results next time on a thrilling new episode!… God, I hate shameless plugs… ~* The writing staff prevails *~

Frank took a deep breath, "You will know when you are yourself" he lost his breath as Amanda climbed on him "OH god Amanda" he whispered

Greg sighed, "I am hoping she is not in town" was all he said

Bill looked around Why do I get the feeeling you pissed off the writers?

Amanda laughed and sat up. "Stupid boy." she said as she dropped her arms. She lowered her feet to the floor and stood in front of Frank. "I have you wrapped around my finger, don't I?" She grinned wickedly then laughed and sat next to him. "You have no idea how much I hate that. It's too easy for me to manipulate you." she sighed. "I don't want you to get hurt."

Dimitri studied Greg's face. "And if she is in town? What then? Your big secret will be blown out of the water."

Due to technical difficulties the character known as Hai cannot respond at this time. ~*TWSP*~

"Then don't minupulate, just be you and I will be me " Frank stood up "May I hug you?"

Greg sighed "then both my children hate me"

Bill has faded for a while when he is needed he will be back ~ the writers

Amanda looked up at Frank and shook her head - it was one of the hardest things she'd had to do in a long time. "I can't- We can't be together Frank." She looked away and whispered. "You remember how Dimitri hesitated to say something a few moments ago?" she shook her head again, closed her eyes and bit her lip. "No," she whispered. "I can't tell you."

Dimitri felt awkward for a moment then patted Greg on the back. "If you tell me what she looks like, I'll try to keep them away from each other." he shook his head and laughed. "Before you ask, I don't have any bad intentions for Julie. I'll hike to Ptolos now - leave before the rest of you. If I find her, do you give me permission to tell her certain things. I keep her occupied - again no bad intentions - while our little troupe hikes through the city, does the gym thing and leaves. Your children will never see each other and you'll still have some part of a family relationship with Frank."

Frank looked at Amanda "tell me, I want to know if there is anything I can do to be with you" he said with a small smile

Greg shook his head, "Here" he took out his wallet and showed a picture of Julie to him(page 1) "Thats her, and well she works at the gym they were bound to meet"

Dimitri let out a long whistle. "Well, she sure is a looker. The gym you say? I just so happen to have a good friend on the inside." he smiled. "Shelia. The leader." he pulled out his cell phone. "I'll call her and simply tell her to send Julie away on an errand. Problem solved."

"I'm going to die Frank." she whispered quickly. "Once Dimitri and I find the Sky Warrior, I'm going to have my soul ripped in half and more than likely," she took a deep breath. "I'm going to die." She stood and threw her arms around Frank's neck. "You've already lost so much. I don't want you to lose me too. I know what's it's like to lose everything - even my will to live."

"Amanda" franks said he thought for a moment "I think I can deal with losing you, all of my losses have strengthed me and I would finish my quest not just for me but for you, If you died. But you can still live a small slim silver lineing" he said Hugging her

Greg shook his head, "it is better if they know"

Julie was walking down the road and saw a small shack, she thought to herself I wonder if they will let me take shower. She shifted her pack and moved some hair before climbing the stairs. She nocked on the door.

Amanda heard a knock on the door and laughed. "A visiter at this hour?" she let herself out of Frank's arms, walked to the door and opened it - then she gasped. "He-Hello" she said. "May I help you?"

Dimitri heard a knock on the door and walked out of the kitchen - smiling at the fact that Amanda had already answered it. Then he saw who was on the other side. "Julie?" he said. "What are you doing here, now?" He thought to Greg. You may want to hurry up and get out here. It seems someone has found us. Someone named Julie that looks shockingly like your son and the girl in the picture you just showed me.

Julie nodded "Yes I was wondering if- How do you know my name?" she asked looking at Dimitri

"Long Story, if I know Dimitri, I'm Frank" said Frank walking forward and holding out his hand he laughed as she took it "Wow we look a lot alike"

Your right I should come out now they have a right to know. thought Greg standing up and making his way slowly down the hall?

"Dimitri-"Amanda questioned turning around. Her eyes widen as Dimitri replayed the whole conversation he had had with Greg. She spun back around and hugged Julie. "Nice to meet you!" she said letting go of the girl. "Come on in!" Amanda moved out of the way. "I'm Amanda, by the way."

Dimitri smiled at Julie. I was right. She is a looker. "I know Shelia, in Ptolos. We often hang out together. She's mentioned you a few times. Nothing bad I promise." He took her hand and raised it to his lips. "Welcome, Shelia's friend Julie, to my home. Ptolos is a long ways away. You must want something to drink." He pulled her gently into the room and let go of her hand.

Greg came out and stood off to one side waiting to be noticed

Julie blush, she found Dimitri very attractive "Nice to meet all of you, Dad What are you doing here" she ran over and hugged him and he hugged her back

Frank opened his mouth to say something and he turned to Greg and Julie "Did she just say Dad? So Dad are you hiding more shit from me."

Dimitri was surprised to find himself blushing as Julie ran to hug Greg. "Frank," he said. "Please be wary of what your tongue states in my house." He said not looking at the boy. His eyes were fixed on Julie, on her face, her eyes, her mouth. He felt a pain in his chest, then remembered something. "Amanda." he said over his shoulder. "Could you please go dress yourself? I find it improper for a lady such as yourself to be so scantly clad in the presence of brutish men like us."

Amanda laughed and thought, Now you know how I feel about Frank, Love. It's like you have to be with her, isn't it? It hurts knowing that you can't. Knowing that if you fall in love, you're dooming her to a life alone. Amanda shook her head and kissed Frank on the cheek. "Best do as my lord says." she said taking Frank's hand. "I'll be back in a bit. Unless you'd rather he-"

"Amanda." Dimitri exclaimed interrupting her statement. "Please be a dear and hurry along. I'm sure Frank would like to understand the situation better. And to do that he must remain in this part of the house." He smiled at Julie. "Sorry, she can be inappropriate at times." Dimitri pursed his lips. "I never asked," he searched for the words. "You knocked on the door... Is there something you were looking for?" He was surprised once again that Amanda had been right - he wanted her to be in love with him. But how would that sound? he thought. Hello Julie. I have no idea who you are. Will you go out with me? He laughed. Idiotic. That's how.

"Well I was going to ask for a shower but something is a little more important now, Dimitri" Julie said looking at her father and the boy named Frank.

"Dad" said Frank crossing his arms, then he thought ot Dimitri and Amanda Did you know about this?

Greg sat down, "maybe you two should sit down also" they both did and stared. Greg sighed "You two are twins, Your Mother thought it would have been best that you guys were never together for some reason. And well I could never argue with her, Julie your real mother just died last week, I know I told you she died in labor and I never was traveling the world, I was with Frank and your Mother, but I love you both very-" He was cut off by Julie smacking her father across the face, "ASSHOLE" she screamed before running out of the room into the forest.

Dimitri was startled at the scene. "Julie!" he called running out of the house after her. He began to breathe hard and his eyes paled. "Julie!" he called again. He swung his head from side to side till he saw her. "Julie." he breathed running to her side. "Julie." He wrapped his arms around her. "Stop. Please. Listen to me." He didn't realize it, but tears had stared to fall from his eyes.

Amanda felt hurt and clasped her hands together. "Frank how would I know about this?" she asked, a little frightened by his change of attitude "I've been with you all morning." She backed away from him and hugged her arms. "Dimi's right. I should go get dressed." She walked down the hall to the room she had woken up in. She walked in and leaned against the door letting tears flow from her eyes. She felt Dimitri's pain, she felt Julie's pain, She felt Frank and Greg's pain. But above all else she felt her own pain. The pain of her heart beginning to tear in two.

MInd reading sorry Amanda Frank thought "Good Job old man" snapped Frank at his father before walkign down the hall to Amanda and he knocked on the door

Greg just sat down and started to cry, WHY AM I A FUCK UP

Julie just hugged Dimitri back and she started to cry in his arms, this felt right being held by this handsome man. Out of No where she felt the urge to kiss him so she did right on the lips, hard.
