Phoenix, Arizona
*enter Vida*
Rachel Cruz sat on the rug and played with her dolls. Her mother told her that she was waiting for a friend to come over, and she was kind of excited. Living here, in Arizona, she wasn't allowed to go to school, or even leave the house. All she knew was that her mother was always talking about leaving, about going with Uncle Julio and going North.
"Mommy!" Rachel called into the kitchen from her spot in front of the television. "When are they coming?!"
"Any minute!" Anne Marie said as she pulled her hair back into a bun, but she dropped her pin down the sink when the over timer started her.
"I'm a mess," she muttered so that her daughter wouldn't hear her. At least Jade was coming over...that's all that mattered. She hadn't seen her in over three years. Still a little jumpy, she pulled the apple pie out of the oven.

((Ok Im gonna say Ruby has her Fox ears despite my fanfic. It will be easier to express emotions that way.))
Ruby looked at the door curiously as her mother knocked on it. She was very excited she never got to meet new friends that often.
She felt her arm go straight to her holo watch to see if it was still on and It was causing the foxling to sigh in relief. "Mama are they gonna answer the door?" She asked
Jade smiled at her daughter happily, "Of course they will answer it!" She smiled at her daughters innocence in those big green eyes of hers. During the years she had not seen Anne Marie she had her third and final daughter Ruby and she could not be happier. She knew there might be an age diffrence but she had a good feeling thier daughters would get along.

A knocking was heard at the door, and Anne Marie placed the pie on a cooling rack as she transversed the kitchen and made her way to the front door.
"That must be them!" She said happily to Rae as she turned the knob.
"Jade!" She said rushing to hug her old friend. "It's has been way too long!"

"Good to see you to." Jade smiled returning the hug, "Ruby come out to say hi." Jade urged her daughter
Ruby walked out from behind her mothers legs smiling timidly. "Hi!"

Anne Marie reached down to Ruby's level and smiled. "You're Ruby! You are so much cuter than your mother ever mentioned!" She smiled and then moved aside to reveal a very curious Rachel.
"And this is Rachel, but you can call her Rae. She is a little older than you, but I'm sure you two will get along fine!"
"Hola," Rachel said, "wanna come play?"
((sorry I have to go! I'm really sorry!!!))

"Sure!" Ruby grinned eagerly, as she walked into the house next to Rachel. She moved a stray strand of her brown hair out of her face before looking around curiously. "What are we gonna do?" She asked
Jade smiled as she looked at the two children before turning back to her old friend. "All three of my girls inherited the mutant gene." She sighed deeply, but did it quite enough for the little ones not to hear. "Im worried about the goverment...Fusionist called my house the other day."
((DUM DUM DUM!))

"We can play blocks," Rachel said pointing to a tower of wooden cubes. "Or dolls, or watch t.v., or eat cookies, or we can go outside..." Rachel was so excited, and her voice and actions weren't hiding it. Happily she lead Ruby into the living room.
"They're so young, I didn't think the mutant gene would manifest until the girls were older," she said as she took Jade's coat and hung it on a hanger in the closet. But she suddenly stopped when she heard the word "Fusionist." The very word made her mouth run dry and her palms sweat.
"How did they find you?" She asked quickly, her voice full of dread. She knew Fusionist well. It wasn't long before that she had donned black leather and infultrated their ranks as the sexy Dr. Valazquez by day and the Super Hero Zenith by night.

"How about....blocks!" Ruby grinned eagerly at her new friend. She felt her whole body trembling with excietment. She had never had a friend before and now she did it felt nice.
"I dont know its just Ruby answered it and when she handed it to me i heard his voice.....telling me of his three new projects he is gonna work on."Jade's voice was trembling.
"He wants the girls...as soon as he heard Ruby's voice he must have decided that."

"Listen to me," Anne Marie said, her voice full of concern and her brow wrinkled, a look of stern severity blatant on her face.
"Take the girls and get as far away from the states as you can. As a matter of fact, get as far away from anywhere as you can. You need to leave, now. Listen, I have a private account at the local bank." She grabbed a key on a chair that she had wrapped around her neck, breakign the chain she handed it to Jade.
"This is a key to a safety deposit box. Inside is all the money you'll ever need. Don't worry, I have money in boxes all over the world, but you can have whatever is in this one. Take the money, go to the airport and say that you are "Ninna Abbott." Buy tickets for your family and fly away. Do you understand? Fusion will hunt you down until there is nothing left. Promise me, please Jade."
Meanwhile, Rachel had no idea what was going on. Sitting with Ruby and the blocks she laughed as she stacked them high, and as they fell down onto her friend.
"Are you okay?" She giggled.

"Thank you." Jade smiled giving her friend a hug. "You have done so much more for me than anyone else in this world. I hope I can repay you someday."
She looked over at Rachel and Ruby with a happy look on her face. "They seem to be getting along."
Ruby looked at Rachel with a confused look on her face for a moment before darting into the pile of blocks. She soon emerged with a scary look on her face, well by scary I mean as scary as a four year old can look with blocks on her head. "Argh I am the block monster!" She said with a 'scary' yet oddly cute growl.

"Ahh!" Vida yelled as Ruby charged at her. Playing, she pretended to fall down. "Mommy," she giggled. "A block monster is attacking me!" But she was having fun, and as Ruby came closer to turned and grabbed Jade's coat off of its hanger, putting it on.
"I'm a super hero! Nothing can stop me!" Using the coat as a cape she pretended to fly around the room.
The girls playing made Anne Marie laugh, and a wave of calmness seemed to wash over the entire situation. "They do get along well don't they." She said as she plucked the coat from Rachel.
"But what doesn mommy always say, don't touch anything that doesn't belong to you."

"GRAGH!" Ruby roared as she bolted after her friend once again. She made sure her watch was secure before continuing her chase. "I will eat...erm...well I will eat something that is yours!" She growled
"Ahh the innocence of Youth." Jade sighed smiling happily. She was glad the little ones were having fun as much as they were. " So what shall us moms do to entertain ourselves besides watching these two."

"Worry about the safety and well being of your family!" Anne Marie said only half joking. "Seriously, if Fusionist is after you, then you have some hard times ahead of you." Anne Marie turned and watched the two girls play. If only the world hadn't been so cruel, then maybe they could have all been happy.
Rae laughed and laughed as Ruby chased her. "Hey," she said slowing down. "That's a cool watch, can I touch it?" She moved closer and placed her hand on the dial...

As soon as Rachel touched the dial the watch turned off and Ruby's fox ears and tail were in full view. She looked at Rachel with wide eyes. "Please dont make fun of me. I can't help it." Ruby's ears flattend to her head.
Jade sighed as she looked at the two. "Project electricfox. The same name fusionist said," Jade said looking down at the floor. "I hink he has been watching me every since I left the labs."

"Cool!" Rachel said, petting Ruby. "Moomy, I want cool powers too!"
"not now Rachel," she said in a sing-song voice, as if the answer had been repeated many times before.
Then she turned to Jade. "You should be careful," she said warily. "If Fusionist has indeed been following you, then they'll want your girls."

"Huh? You arent scared of me?" Ruby questioned allowing her new friend to pet her.
"I know he is and thats what scares me the most. They are to young for what I went through."

"Scared?! I think that you're the coolest person on the face of the Earth!" Rachel pet Ruby and then ran to the other side of the room. "Come on, play with me!"
"Don't worry," Anne Marie said, touching her friend's arm with a reassuring caress. Everything will be fine, you'll see."

Ruby's eyes brightened as her tail wagged back and forth happily. "OK!" She yelped very fox like. She ran across the room to her friend smiling happily. Her fox ears twitched in an adorable way as she looked at her new friend with adoring eyes.
"Yea..Besides with you around I have nothing to worry about! Can we go get some food im kinda hungry."

Rachel pulled out some more toys and started to play with Ruby, building a small castle out of play-dough.
"Of course," Anne Marie said, moving into the kitchen. "I actually made some pie earlie, would you like a slice?" She asked motioning to the pie and then turning to get two plates out of the cabnets. "It's my mother's recipe, you'll love it." She said as she placed two plates onto the table, one in front of Jade.
"There was only one person who didn't like my pie. But I don't know if you could even count him as a human being...no offence." She apologized, not meaning to offend Jade for being a mutant. "No, Frank Cruz isn't a mutant, just a bona fide jackass." Normally Anne Marie would have gotten angry, but it had been seven years since the divorce, and by now, after six years on the run, she was over it all. She practically laughed when she said the name.

"Mmm Pie." Jade grinned happily as she ate the pie. She loved to eat pie it was so good and it clamed her down in stresseful situations. "You do a good job making this."
Ruby's tail wagged back and forth as she played with her new friend. She had never really fit in anywere else but home but she felt like she belonged with Rae. "We are gonna be friends forever right?" She asked curiously
