A hidden tree root snagged her bare foot, sending her crashing to the ground.  Sharp pain lanced through her arms as she tried to break her fall.  Forcing herself up, she kicked free of the root and began to run again, unmindful of the blood now running freely down her leg. 

 Ahead of her she saw the huge stonewall.  Speeding up, she jumped up, grabbed a tree branch, and flipped over the wall. Crouching on the other side, she paused for a moment.  A car driving down the road caught her in his headlights.  The man spotted her, and hit his brakes to ask if she was okay.

 Her clothes were tattered and streaked with dirt.  Blood from multiple scratches and dirt covered her arms, legs, and face.  Long tendrils of hair had escaped from her braids and framed her face.  Peering through her bangs, green eyes warily watched the car before she took off down the road as fast as she could.  The man decided he'd been seeing things and drove on.

 She jumped down into the ditch and ran across the field of wheat toward the old sand quarry outside of town.  Still no thoughts entered her mind as she pushed herself harder and harder to maintain the pace she had set. 

 Her feet slipped on the loose footing of sand and she stumbled, almost falling.  She managed to make it through the thick undergrowth of the sand pits before collapsing from exhaustion near one of the small ponds that dotted the property.  Finally, too tired to run any more and too spent to think, she slipped gratefully into a dreamless sleep.

^^^^^^^^^^
 Tonya bounced cheerfully around the house doing her best to keep everyone's spirits up as finals rapidly approached.  She won't leave anyone alone until they smiled for her, not even Techno.  Not fake, cheesy smiles either.  It didn't have to be from ear to ear, just heartfelt.  She felt it was her duty to keep things on the lighter side; no dark thoughts or depression were allowed to plague her friends and family while she was around.
- - - - - -
 The sun was hidden behind thick, gray thunderclouds, but that didn't dampen her mood one bit.  She smiled as she scanned the wall, searching for her grade on the last Cell Biology Test.  She knew she had done well because she had studied hard and actually focused during class.  Her smile faltered for a second as she read her grade.  Chewing her lip, she double-checked it, but it didn't change.

 "24 out of 100!" she said in disbelief.  She sighed, "I'll just have to do better on the one.  And I studied so hard for it too."
- - - - - - 
 The next day, she stared in horror at her Chemistry test.  "Maybe I shouldn't study," she mumbled.  "34 out of 100, I can't believe this.  I must had been having a bad test day.  First Cell Bio and now this." she shook her head, "Well it could be worse."
 - - - - - - -
Techno got mad at her for pointing out that the machine he was taking apart to fix was simply unplugged.  He was in a bad mood already and threw her out of the cave declaring if she set foot down there again before her turn on shift, he would cut off her braid and tail.  Tonya fled quickly, realizing that he fully meant what he said.  Everyone else in the house was too busy to talk or play a game with her, too.  Even Bowie was busy helping Sebastian clean the fridge. 

Bored Tonya went to her room and got on the Internet, but none of her friends were online.  She called some friends from campus, but all were busy or just didn't want to hang out with her.  Pulling out some of her favorite books, she tried to lose herself in the stories.  But her attention kept wandering, thinking about this and that.

One reason Tonya liked to talk and be with people, even if she was annoying them, was that it kept her mind from wandering.  True it wandered while she was with others, but then it was happy, funny, or perverted thoughts.  When she was alone though, her thoughts could become very dark and depressing.  Not like suicide mind you, but not very pleasant anyway. 

She thought about her future and what she would do if Vet school didn't work out.  She thought about never getting credit for helping people as a vigilante, and wondered how much good she was actually doing.  She kept all these things to herself; all her fears, her worries, her problems.  None of the others needing to be burdened with them anyway.  She was the comforter, the advisor, and the happy jester who could make anyone smile.  And everyone knows that jesters don't cry or become unhappy.
- - - - - -
That night there was a horrible thunderstorm, and it was Tygeress's turn on patrol. She had to take her motorcycle so she wouldn't be struck by lightening while flying around.  The cold rain ran into her costume despite the waterproof coating and the cape she wore to prevent that.

 Tygeress saw some men trying to beat up a little old lady, and went to her rescue.  The men attacked her and she quickly subdued them and tied them to a light post.  Then she proceeded to call the cops.

 Suddenly the old woman began to hit her with her handbag and cane.  "Slut!  Harlot!  Tramp!" the woman yelled, "You leave my grandson alone!"

 Tygeress fled, flying up to the top of a nearby building to escape the woman's wrath.  The police showed up, and the woman told them that Tygeress had attacked her grandson and his friends.  The fact that he was actually in a gang and trying to steal her purse never came up in the conversation.

 Disgusted, Tygeress left the scene.  Several more incidents like this happened that night.  The next one was a rottwielier attacked his owner's child, seriously injuring the kid.  Tygeress knocked the dog out with a blow to the back of its head, and the owner began to cuss at her and throw things for hurting his dog.  By the time the ambulance arrived, the owner had decided that the dog attack was all her fault, even though she was keeping the girl from bleeding to death.  She had to flee from that scene too, so that she wouldn't be arrested.

 By the time she got home she was soaked and seriously pissed off at the world.  Plastering a smile on her face, she changed clothes and went upstairs to go to bed.  After showering and putting on her pajamas, she flopped onto her bed and forced herself to think happy thoughts until she fell asleep.
- - - - - -
 The next day, things weren't much better.  She had several run-ins with the frat boys from Male Chauvinistville, and was forced to work in a group with Aaron Stynes.  He spent the entire time hitting on her and making lude comments about her fitting perfectly in his back seat.

 She was so glad to finally be done with classes and looked forward to spending some time with Zarbon.  But when she got home, Techno and Zarbon were working on some important project.  To make matters worse, Techno was still mad at her and reminded her of his threat.  She ran from the cave, and hid in her room.
- - - - -
 Jessica had a paper due for a class, so Tonya volunteered to take her patrol for her.  She hoped tonight would be better than the previous night.  The stars shone brightly, and it was fairly warm.  After checking out the city, Tygeress was flying over the lake.  She heard someone singly drunkenly and several shouts. 

 It was rather late, so she wondered what was going on.  She spotted a fishing boat with seven people sitting in it near the shore.  From her position, she could see the beer bottles littering the bottom of the boat. 

One of the people got up and began to rock the boat.  The others laughed and cheered, egging the man on.  Suddenly the boat flipped, sending everyone into the cold, dark water.

Six of the seven people surface and swam to shore, laughing about the shock.  They quickly realized the seventh one was missing and began to shout his name, and yell for help.  Tygeress was already scanning the water for the missing man.  Taking a deep breath, she plunged into the murky water.

The near freezing water threatened to steal her breath as she began her search.  She stayed under until her lungs ached, trying to find the missing person.  She surface quickly, filling her lungs, and diving again.  She knew she didn't have much time; a person could get hypothermia from water at 70 degrees, and this was much colder than that.  On her third dive, she felt an arm brush hers.  Grabbing it, she pulled the man to the surface and flew to shore.

He wasn't breathing and she couldn't find a pulse so she started CPR.  Most of the group just stared at her; they had already called an ambulance.  The sixth guy ran to his pickup a pulled out a rifle.

The unconscious man began to throw up water, so Tygeress turned him on to his side.  He was breathing shallowly and she found a weak pulse.  She knew he wasn't out of danger yet, but he now stood a better chance at living.
"Get away from him!" the man with the rifle yelled, pointing it at her.

 Tygeress stood up and raised her arms, "It's ok.  I'm not going to hurt him."
 "Bull shit!  You're trying to kill him!" the man screamed, obviously still drunk.
 "No," Tygeress was slowly backing up, "I was giving him CPR.  He wasn't breathing."

 "You bitch!  You're the reason the boat flipped.  You're trying to kill us!." A wild look crossed his face, "But I won't let you!" He pulled the trigger back quickly, firing the gun.

 A look of disbelief crossed his face as he realized Tygeress was unhurt.  But it was nowhere near the look of shock on Tygeress's face.  She turned tail and flew away as fast as she could, fighting back the tears.  It had hurt and would probably bruise, but hadn't penetrated thanks to the costumes material.  She landed in the cave and ran to the change room.

 Techno exchanged a glance with Sebastian.  Barely two minutes had passed, and the girl was walking out of the changing room pulling on her shirt.  She jumped into the air a took off a the stairs. 

"Tonya?" Techno asked. "Wha..." the girl was gone before he could get the words out.

 Zarbon was in the kitchen fixing a snack when Tonya stalked by. "Hey, Love.  What are you doing home so early?" Hearing no reply, he turned to find she had already gone.

 The intercom crackled. "Hey, Zarbon.  What's wrong with Tonya?" asked Sebastian.

 "I don't know but I intend to find out."  He hurried up the stairs and knocked on Tonya's door.  She didn't answer, so he knocked louder.  He could here her moving in the room so he knew she was in there. "Tonya?  What's wrong?"  No answer.  He tried the door and found it locked.  "Tonya, it's Zarbon.  Are you okay?  Let me in."

 "Go away!" Tonya yelled glaring at the door.

 "What's wrong?  Did something happen?"

 "GO AWAY!" She yelled again.

 By this time, Techno and Sebastian had come upstairs, and the girls had come out of their rooms.

 "What's going on?" asked Sally.

 "We don't know." Sebastian replied, "But it looks like something set Tonya off pretty bad."

 Poopsie knocked on the door, "Tonya?  Open the door.  It's okay.  We're your friends.  What's wrong?"  No answer.

 "Tonya, open the door, and tell us what's wrong, or I'll use the key." Techno warned.

"Fuck you, Techno!" Tonya shouted, "Fuck all of you!  Just leave me alone!" 

 Techno pulled out the master key ring, and unlocked the door.  Then he tried to open it, but found it was blocked.

 "Just go away!" Tonya shouted, "I just want to be left alone."

 "Looks like we don't have much choice." Zarbon said, looking worriedly at the door.

"I could teleport in there." Poopsie offered.

 Techno sighed and shook his head, "Better not.  It might upset her more."

 "Can you read her mind, Poopsie?" Sally asked, "Just to find out what's going on in there."

 "Okay." Poopsie closed her eyes and concentrated.  Her eyes flew open and she stared at the door.  "Are you sure that's Tonya in there?"

 "Yeah," Sebastian replied, "Pretty sure.  Why?"

 "Tonya's always so cheerful and happy.  Her mind is usually light hearted even if a little dirty." Poopsie shivered, "Who ever is in there is extremely angry and hurt.  Her mind is dark and clouded with jumbled thoughts of violence and pain." she looked at the group, "I'm not sure that's it Tonya in there.  This force seems almost...evil."

* * * * * *
Tonya glared at the door, claws unsheathed, daring them to come through the door.  Part of her couldn't believe what she was doing and thinking, though it felt that due to all the recent crap, her behavior was slightly justifiable.  She heard the others leave and felt part of herself relax with relief.  Collapsing onto her bed she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. 

Then the voice started.  She wasn't sure what to think at first, but was definitely sure it wasn't Poopsie talking.  This scared the crap out of her, and she tried to move or call out, but IT wouldn't let her.  IT began to tell her things, and describe what she should do to each of the people who had wronged her in life.  Most of this included bloody, violent, and painful death to those she held close to her heart.

 Summoning all her will power, Tonya stood up and walked to the window.  She opened with great effort and jumped to the ground.  Then she began to run, focusing completely on trying to keep moving, forcing the voice to be quiet.  Welcoming pain as another focus, she pressed herself to keep moving.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
"What are we going to do?" Zarbon asked the group now gathered in the kitchen.

 "What do you mean by evil?" Jessica asked.

 "Hey guys." Alec said walking into the kitchen still wearing his uniform, "What's up?"
 "Tonya's acting weird." Sebastian replied.

 "Weirder than normal I take it or you wouldn't be having a conference over it." Alec said.

 They filled in Alec on all they knew about what was going on and what Poopsie had sensed.  Alec then told them what he had heard about the night before and the incident at the lake.

 "Okay that would be enough to piss her off," Zarbon said, "But it doesn't explain this evilness Poopsie sensed.

 Bowie bounded into the kitchen from the garden.  He grabbed Jessica's hand and tugged towards the door.  "What's wrong Bowie?  What do you want to show me?" Jessica asked, but like all the other times, he didn't answer.

 She followed him out the door and looked around.  Then she noticed he was staring at the house, approximately at the second floor.  She followed his line of site and realized he was staring at Tonya's open window.

 "Open window?" she said aloud, "Guys!  We have a problem!"

 The group dashed out on to the patio where Jessica stood pointing.  Zarbon flew up and looked into the room.

 "It's empty," he said coming back, "She's gone."

 "How are we going to find her?" Dee asked.

 "Don't think we can." Techno answered, "She probably removed her trackers in the cave and I doubt she took her cell phone."

 "Maybe someone will see her and call the police." Jessica said hopefully.
- - - - - -

Tonya swiped at the object tickling her nose.  Unable to remove it she sat up and glared.  She felt rather silly as she realized it was some of her hair loosened from its braids.  The splash made her jump as she noticed she wasn't in her room.  Staring at the pond, Tonya knew she had to be at the old sand quarry, but couldn't really remember how she had gotten there.

 Taking in the sight of her tore clothing and the mud and blood streaking her body, she felt a little afraid.  Wincing as she began to move her leg, she stared at the long gash on her ankle.  Reaching to touch the wound moved the muscles in her chest that had been bruised by the bullet.  Suddenly flashes of the night before began to whirl through her mind, and she gasped at the onslaught of thoughts and images.

 Finally, they passed and Tonya made it painfully to her feet.  She began the long stumbling trek back to the mansion; back to the people she knew and trusted.  Her muscles protest each movement and she was close to tears when she finally reached the road.  Walking along the road was more dangerous than cutting cross-country and longer too, but the going was easier.
- - - - - - -

 Several cars had slowed down to look at Tonya before gunning their engines and speeding off.  Tonya was too busy concentrating on not falling down or passing out to notice or care.  She could feel that other "something" padding around it the back of her mind, waiting to strike.

 A black Mustang slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road.  A man got out and began to walk towards her slowly.  Tonya paused and watched him warily; ready to bolt if he tried anything.  She heard the man talking to her and frowned trying to understand what he was saying.

* * * * * *
 "Tonya!  Thank god I found you.  Everyone's worried sick over your little disappearing act." Sebastian paused as he realized the girl didn't seem to know him. "It's me, Sebastian.  Jessica's boyfriend, remember?"  As he got closer he realized the reports were right; Tonya did look like something or someone had attacked her.  "Tonya?" he stepped closer, "Let's get you home," he reached out slowly to take her arm, "Zarbon's probably got a nice dish of ice cream waiting for you." He saw the flash of recognition in her eyes, then something else, as he touched her arm.  He tensed slightly, feeling the sudden urge to run for his life.
* * * * * *
 Tonya finally was able to focus on the man's words as he came closer.  She recognized him as Sebastian Lewis as he tried to take her arm, and she felt greatly relieved to see him.  The force lurking in her mind welled up and the urge to kill the man in front of her was suddenly overpowering.  She seemed to be pushed aside, but she could see her friend tense as he realized something wasn't right.

 Gathering her will power, she shoved back the evilness, forcing it down and regaining control.  Her eyes closed for a second as this exchange took place and she almost fell over.
* * * *
 Sebastian steadied the girl, worried that she having some kind of attack.  Her eyes fluttered open and the emerald green orbs blinked with weariness.

 "Take me home, Sebastian." Tonya's voice was barely audible, "Please...take me home."
- - - - - - - -
 Poopsie met them at the door and helped Sebastian get Tonya into the den.  Sebastian went to get the others while Poopsie tried to decide where to begin.

 "Maybe we should get you washed up first," Poopsie said examining the gash on Tonya's ankle.  "It would heal better."  Tonya didn't reply so Poopsie looked up.  She stood up quickly and took a step back.

 The other force had attacked while Poopsie was checking Tonya's injury and a cruel smirk was set on the girl's face.  Tonya's eyes were now a reddish color and sparkled with evil intentions.

 Suddenly the look broke and Tonya's eyes were green again, "Run." she rasped out, "Run away.  He's going to..." She grinned cruelly, and her eyes turned blood red.  The metal claws unsheathed and Tonya lunged at Poopsie with a snarl.

 Poopsie screamed and ran out of the room.  A smirk grew on Tonya's face as she stood up and began to stalk her friend.

 As she left the den and entered the area in front of the stairs, Dee grabbed her from behind.  Tonya growled and slammed her elbow back into Dee's ribs.  A sickening crack was heard as Dee gasped in pain and loosened her grip.  Breaking free, Tonya whirled and stabbed her claws into Dee's stomach.  Dee fell to the ground clutching her wound, bleeding profusely.

 The girl grinned as she surveyed her work and the metallic claws that extended form her hands.

 "Tonya?!?!" Jed gasped as she spotted Dee on the floor, "What have you done?"

 Tonya turned to answer and realized she now faced the rest of the group.  Her eyes landed on Zarbon and a large grin appeared on her face.

 "Hello, Lover boy." The voice was coming from Tonya's mouth, but was deeper than hers and most definitely male, "Miss me?"
 
The group stared and Sally shivered.  The voice was familiar, but she couldn't place it.

 Zarbon's eyes narrowed, "Kuwi."

 Tonya laughed, a deep menacing sound, "You remember.  I'm pleased."

 "I thought he died." Sally said.

 "My body did, I'm afraid.  But my spirit was set free to roam the world seeking revenge." Tonya sneered, "And now I have the perfect vessel."

 "Let her go." Zarbon stepped forward. "Release her and past on to the Pit where you belong."

 "I don't think so." Tonya gave him a patronizing smile, "She's already gone.  This body is mine now.  If I leave it, it will die."

 Zarbon glanced at Poopsie.  "I can't tell if he's lying or not." she said.

 Blood red energy flared around Tonya's body, "In a minute, it won't matter." 

 

She lunged at Poopsie again, but Zarbon met her halfway.  There was a loud crackle as their kis crashed together, red against gold, warring for dominance.  They were moving to fast for the others to follow.  Dee chose this time to slip around the edge of the fight and join the others.

 "She stabbed me!" Dee growled, "I don't can if she's possessed by the devil himself, I'm going to kick her ass!"
 
The battle stopped suddenly in an apparent stalemate, the energy fields still flickering around the combatants.  Zarbon was holding Tonya close with his left arm around her waist.  His other hand was on her throat ready to throttle her. 

 

He was bleeding freely from several deep cuts on his arms and chest and a deep stab wound on his right shoulder.  Tonya grinned as she dug her fingers into his injured shoulder, making it harder for Zarbon to concentrate.  The knuckles of her other hand rested lightly against his neck.

 Slowly, one metallic blade cut its track across his neck, despite his ki shield, but not cutting very deep.  Zarbon's eyes widened slightly as he realized the girl's intentions.  His grip tightened on her throat.

 "Tonya." He said quietly, "You have to stop him.  You're the only one who can.  Please."

 Tonya laughed, "She can't hear you now, Zarbon.  Even if she could, she's no match for me now."

 A second claw made its mark across the light blue skin. "Tonya.  Ai shiteru.  Iec methlon ruco.  Ruco dos dajeceth.  Ethaget.  Reit."

 Tonya laughed again as the third blade started it journey.
* * * * *
 It was dark. And cold.  So very cold.  Tonya could feel her energy slipping away, but she no longer cared.  Life was pointless.  She couldn't defeat the evil that had invaded her body and she was tired.  So very tired.  Dropping to her knees, she gave up and started to lie down.

  She paused listening, thinking she had heard something.  The words seemed to echo through the darkness.  She sat up, recognizing Zarbon's voice.  "Tonya.  Ai shiteru.  Iec methlon ruco.  Ruco dos dajeceth.  Ethaget.  Reit."  As the word reverberated she found she understood them. "I love you. I trust you.  You can beat him.  Please.  Try." 

 "Zarbon?" she whispered into the darkness. "No!  I won't let this happen!"  Calling up all her remaining strength, she struck at the darkness determined not to let it end so easily.  Realizing a blunt attack wouldn't do much damage; she focused her energy into a spear for her second blow.
* * * *  *
 Tonya stiffened in Zarbon's arms.  Her eyes widened in surprise, "No.  It can't be." she smirked, "So the little mouse isn't quite dead yet.  No matter.  She will be soon."

 Suddenly, the claws retracted, and her body arched, her eyes shut tightly. Throwing her head back, Tonya screamed in pain.  The red aura surrounding her body flickered, then turned a brilliant shade of green.  The scream seemed to last for an eternity before she went completely limp in Zarbon's arm, her aura disappearing.

 

Zarbon moved his hand, checking for a pulse.  It was weak, but steady. "Tonya?" he asked carefully dropping to his knees.  She was breathing shallowly and he held her to his chest gently, "Come back to me, koi," he whispered against her hair, "Don't leave me now."

* * * * * *
 It was dark again.  Black as ink, but not cold this time.

 "Where am I?" she asked the darkness.

 "We're still in your mind," a voice behind her answered.  She turned to find Kuwi standing there.  "Your little trick managed to dislodge me from control of your body and we ended up here.  Now I'm going to deal with you once and for all, then I'm going to kill your friends.  Starting with your lover."  He began to circle the girl, "How would you like him to die?" he asked with a grin, "Slow and painfully, or fast and painless?" He lunged at her.

 Tonya caught him and fell back, and brought her legs up to flip him away.  Flipping to her feet she glared at the man, "How about not at all?"

 "Not an option." he retorted throwing a punch.

 "Tell me something before I die.  How did you manage to get into my head?" she asked jumping away.

 "You felt your heart skip a beat when that man shot you?  That's when I did it.  Your defenses were completely down." He answered, throwing a ki blast at her.

 Tonya dodged easily, then jumped into the air.  She was surprised to see a green light flickering around herself as she floated.  Kuwi jumped after her, his aura red as blood.  He began to throw punches, kicks, and blasts at the girl, but nothing seemed to connect.

 "Hold still!" he demanded.

 Tonya laughed, clear and sweet. "Yeah right.  All the better to kick my ass, huh?"

 She giggled as the man chased her around.  She could feel his energy was weakening while hers seemed to be growing like a weed.  She flipped and threw a ball of light at him, then landed, and threw another.

 He dodged both and landed as well.  "Your pitiful blasts won't defeat me." he sneered.

 Tonya grinned, "No, but this will."  A small yellow box with a large red button appeared in her hand.  She pressed it and Kuwi was drug into the air by a rope around his ankles.

 "What the Hell!" he exclaimed.

 "It's my mind," Tonya explained as she pulled the lever that appeared in front of her, "Anything I want to happen in here, does."   The rope was cut and Kuwi fell into a clear sphere.  "To bad it took me this long to realize that."  A clear cannon formed around the ball, and Tonya lit a giant match. "Have fun where ever you end up.  Don't forget to wear your sunscreen.  Bye bye."  She touched the match to the fuse and the cannon roared sending Kuwi's spirit out of Tonya's body and straight to...well you can guess.

 "And Techno says I watch too many cartoons." she looked around, "Now how do I get out of hear and back in control of my body?"  A pinpoint of light appeared to her right. "I hope that's the way out." she jumped into the air and took off.

 As she approached the light, it got larger and larger.  Finally, she could see it was a winged figure standing on a patio by a door. 

She landed and stared. "Who are you?"

 The figure laughed, "You don't know?  You're the one who named me."

 Tonya's eyes grew large, "Mortay?"

 He nodded, "I'm your guardian angel." he raised his hand to silence her angry tirade before it began, "I'm here to protect you from harm, but sometimes there's only so much I can do.  If you walk through that door, you will regain control of your body"

 "Thank you." Tonya said, bowing to the angel, then stepped through the door.
* * * * *
Her eyes opened slowly.  She blinked at the fabric just millimeters from her eyes and pulled back slightly.  She looked up at the startled face of her lover and smiled warmly.

 "Hey, koi." she purred, stretching up to kiss him.  She noticed the slick feeling of her hand on his shoulder and looked at the blue blood now covering her palm. Her eyes went wide as she realized he was covered with cuts, "Poopsie!"

 "I'm right here." she answered stepping toward them.

 "Zarbon's hurt.  Can you heal him?" Tonya asked.

 "Yes.  Just move, please." Poopsie started with his neck wound, then all his other injuries.

 Tonya looked on worriedly, chewing her lip. "Did I do that?" she asked.

 "Yup." Dee said, "And you stabbed me and broke my ribs."

 A look of horror spread across her face.  "Oh my god.  I'm so sorry."

 Sally put her hand on Tonya's shoulder, "It's not your fault.  You were possessed by an evil spirit." she stepped away quickly before Tonya could glomp her.  "Don't.  You're covered in blood and dirt."

 "Go take a bath." Alec said giving her a gentle push toward the stairs, "We'll get lunch ready."
- - - - - - -
 The group was sitting around the table talking after dinner. 

 "Well, I'm just glad you're back to normal." Sebastian said.

 "Me too." Tonya smiled, "It's really scary when you have a voice in your head that isn't your resident psychic."

 "I'm sure." Techno said dryly.

 "I'm glad you're back to normal too." Zarbon kissed her cheek.

 "Well, there is one thing good about being possessed by an alien's spirit."

Tonya said.

 "Really?" asked Jed, "What?"

 Tonya turned to Zarbon.  She took a deep breath, "Kimi wa watashi no kokoro.  Iec gelked theoser ethe ruco.  Ai shiteru."

 Zarbon blinked in surprise, "You can speak my language?  How?" then he blinked again, and smiled, "Ai shiteru."

 "I got it from Kuwi." Tonya shrugged, smiling.

 "What did you say?" Alec asked.

 Tonya glanced at Zarbon, "I said, You are my heart.  I couldn't live without you.  I love you."

 "Awwww." the girls cooed in unison.

 Tonya grinned mischievously, "Iec untehe wastie no keothe geroah dekie."
 Zarbon's eyes with wide and he blushed deeply.  Avoiding the others eyes, he stared at the wall.

 "What did she say?" Jessica asked.

 "I don't think we want to know." Sebastian said.

 "Great," Techno frowned. "Now she's an intergalactic pervert."
