~*~Final Moments~*~

::Kim stands facing on a dirt road leading to a fleeing sun. She is wearing hooded cape on top of a wide sleeved shirt and flared pants. She and everything around her has been tranformed into a dusky orange color of sunset. She turns with a sad expression on her face::

What does one say at a time like this? A point where you may never see any of these human beings again. What are the correct words, the most sincere and genuine?

::She sits on a tree stump and looks at her hands. Then hopefully looks up::

Then again this is not the end now is it? It is the beginning of a new Quest a New Adventure, a New Opportunity to Save a New World! But what of this one? What of these Adventures that have already been had and written about in Diaries, Journals, Blogs, Notes, E-mail, and passed by word of mouth. What of them...

::She faces the sun again and stands, taking a step towards the path::

Will they be cast a side to be forgotten and only pondered upon when a second in the future us back to a instant of our past....What about the here and the what exsisted here? This for me is not a good bye this is merely a...

::She looks back and smiles::

a Be Right Back you know. So I'll flicker from your lives visually...but I refuse to be forgotten my friends becasuse we all know being forgotten is worse than death. So I will issue my statments now before I begin my new quest.

::She laces her fingers together and places theme in front of her and offers a tilted head smile::

Peter My friend it has truely been an experience. LoL how is it two people can be so strong of mind and reason also be so hopelessly in love with such men?

::Tears gleam in the setting sun::

I've made a connection with you Love you are traped now the only way to get ride of me is to kill me so beware the snail mail, e-mails, and annoying phone calls.

LaurenLumanier one of the few females I look up to.
::She looks down Humbly::
Lum your lovely words and open heart have many times driven me into hours of reflection and thought. I thank you for showing your introspective nature to me. It makes me more comfortable with my own. Please make it big Lum I know I won't but it would be nice to know that you did.

Catherine And what do I say to the Kitten? I knew you briefly but I know I'm better off because of it. A flash of light and hope in an otherwise bleak world. A glimmering smile in a heartwrentching day. A glass prism hitting the light giving off a rainbow. Thank you Catherine thank you for showing me your smile.

::She smiles widely just for Catherine to see::

Nori The Penguine Child. Well Pixie I never would have though another person in this world was in such a incoherent state as me. But it's because you want to say so much at once and can't figure out where to start isn't it? Thoughts are like Pixies...they zoom around in our heads and if we don't hurry we can't catch them and share them with our friends.

::She gives Nori a thumbs up::

Quita Oh my and you what do I say to you? Well there is nothing to say is there? You always understood me even when I myself was lost in the instinct of my actions. Quita, we will meet again. We both have to much fight not to.

::She nodds to reassure herself::

Liz Oh the source of my affirmation. Does it ever get old Elizabeth? Having to reassure people in their course of action when you yourself aren't sure what your course is. One day it'll make sense...time brings change.

::She looks in Liz's eyes meaningfully::

GeimerHmmm and what to you? you hopeless boy. So sweet, so caring, so giving but no one takes a moment to discover it. Geimer one day life will hand you all the right cards instead of throwing you in the tightest spots I know it!

::She makes a fist and then steps forward at the last phrase showing her belief.

::She looks down::
To any others To anyone else I haven't mentioned thus far...I am sorry if I could not name you but my emotions have been ravaged and I lack the strength to remember all those who have molded me into who I am. I only have this to say...please do not change. You are all different, special, each a different jem in a box of treasures. Remeber my friends at times you do not have to understand...you merely have to accept...I Love You All
Your Loyal Guardian,
~Kimberly~

::She lifts her pack and beings walking towards the sunset, eyes cast down. "Knief of Romance" can be heard faintly in the background. A tear flies from her eye on the breeze and back to her friends::
