"Artie has something to share as well, and I think she wants to do it after lunch also," Carly replied, hoping that they could swap stories then.

" Really? Then this will be a good afternoon. " Janet said with a smile.

Carly nodded as she entered the other room, seeing Alex and Taylor bringing out food and drinks.

" You two ready for food?" Elisa asked bringing the toppings for the hamburgers.

"Starved actually," Carly admitted.

( Timeskip?)

(sure. to when?)

( how about after lunch?)

(sure.)

" Lunch was wonderful Taylor and everyone that helped." Janet said with a smile. She dreaded telling her story but knew it had to be done.

"Thank you Mrs. Richards," Taylor said, being polite. It was fun grilling for everyone and hoped that he could do it again, given the chance.

"You are welcome. Do you want to go first Artunia? " Janet asked.

Carly looked at Artunia who was silently drinking her tea before nodding lightly. She just hoped that the others would believe her. As she saw that everyone was looking at her, she sighed before placing her cup down. "My full name is Artunia Pendragon...former king of Britain."

Deanna listened to Artunia and was surprised. She still accepted Artie as a part of the group and had a feeling the others felt the same way.

Taylor and Sora both nodded in acceptance. They were surprised, but had a feeling that she wanted to be treated like everyone else.

" Thank you all for accepting me. " Artunia said with a small smile.

"You don't have to thank us Artie, we're friends," Elisa said as Ruby nodded her head as well.

Artie nodded and gave a small smile. "I'm glad you are all my friends." She said.

" It was brave of you to tell us. " Janet said and knew it was her turn to tell her own story.

"Thank you Mrs. Richards," Artie replied.

" You are welcome. Are you all ready to hear my story?" Janet asked.

"I believe we are, unless anyone says otherwise?" Taylor asked, getting a shake of the head from Ark and Carly.

Janet was glad that no one objected and told her sad tale." Afterwards I decided to just travel and after a while went to work at a company. That is where I met Carly and Deanna's father, though much later he was the one who was behind my bishie's death." She said after she finished her story.

"What was your Bishie's name?" Rikku asked, curious. She had listened to the tale and felt bad for whoever it was that was killed due to her husband's company.
