Steeling myself, I take her parents into my office to tell them the bad news. Their little girl is gone, replaced by a God-King with a bad attitude and blue hair.

Oh, God, they look so happy. Why didn't anyone call them? Anyone else, that is? Because I? Was not up to having that conversation.

They natter on about the Hyperion and how we're family, and I'm still not up to having this conversation. Then she walks in, and I hear Fred's dear, familiar accent. Illyria's transmuted herself back into Fred for them.

And my heart cracks all over again.

"Because I? Was not up to having that conversation."

Oh, Wesley.

That never did make sense to me, why no one ever said anything to her parents. Wtf? So they still think she's alive - what would happen if they happen to come in sometime after NFA?

I know. I'm still in shock that they don't know...

Maybe cuz he was CrazyWes by then. I think it's his head that cracks open in addition to his heart. Wesley really wussed out, but can you blame him?

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

Don't blame him a bit.

Mind if I add you as a friend? :-)
