Virginia was sitting in her favorite chair, reading a book on magic written by a friend of her mother and Victoria. It spoke greatly of magical prophecies like the Gemini, including all of the details. The words seemed to jump out at the woman, assuring her that her children were safe. "'The wicked one will fight the Gemini and their allies, but will not be able to win. A power that only the Gemini can use will destroy any hostile force, and save the world once more.' Does that mean the powers they inherited from Jet? Cuz I can't think of anything the twins specialized in besides ARMs, magic, and the Filgaian Power. Besides, the ARMs are quite common, and all Shamans and Baskar learn their own varieties of magic to fight with."

"You'll fry your brain worrying too much," Jet told his wife, "Ashley and Lilka won't just lay down and die on us, they're both fighters. Remember what happened ten years ago? They escaped Vincent's hideout on their own, with only the power of Dist Dims. And Lilka had only trained with it for about six months."

"I know, Jet. It's just that it's a mother's duty to worry about her children when they're not here. I was the one who carried them within my body for nine grueling months, and raised them from infancy. We women grow much more attached to our offspring than the men do, because of such facts," she retorted.

Jet stated, "If there wasn't that stupid accident, then I would have been there to raise the babies too. You know I'd never desert the woman who had given me life after I thought my soul was dead forever. Stupid Leehalt, why did he have to tell me my origins in a way like that? Your old man would have eventually broke the news to me gently, probably that's the reason why he never told me, he was thinking how he'd do it."

Virginia knew the argument was getting them nowhere fast. She took Jet in her arms, and gave him a kiss, right on the lips. That had the effect she was going for, as Jet put his arms around her slim waist, and gave him one of his own. They stood like that for several minutes, relishing the moment as if it was the last one they'd ever share. That was how strong the bond between the two was after all this time.

Suddenly, they heard noises coming from the other room. "Do they do this on a daily basis, or are they just having a little fun because their kids aren't home?" "Oh you shut up, they love each other, so they kiss, your parents probably do it too." "Not in front of me." "Well sis, remember this is Maya we're talking about here." "Oh, shut up, I just told him that they probably do it too." "Guys, don't fight with one another, you know I don't like it when we argue." "Oh would you just keep out of it." The last one sounded like two voices speaking at the same time, one male and one female, chiding the girl who had just begun to whine.

Virginia and Jet turned around. There, she could see her children, as well as their young friend and a boy she'd never met, standing in the doorway. Lilka had apparently been fighting with the blond lad, and Ashley was adding his two cents in. Cecille had tried to end the debate, but Ashley and Lilka were quite fond of arguing with one another, and told her to stop. These sort of things happened often between them.

"You're home!" exclaimed Virginia, "You've finally come back from the battlefield. Is anyone hurt? Who's your new friend? Did you manage to defeat the enemy, or is he going to come back and try to fight against us once more? Can I offer you anything to eat?" The questions were being fired off at rapid speed, as Virginia's concern for her children came out. Leon just tried to ignore her, until Lilka elbowed him.

"First of all, none of us were hurt. I was exhausted from using my powers, but Leon carried me until I could get back on my own horse again. Which partially answers your second question. His name is Leon Vanderbuilt, and he's our chosen ally. The enemy is dead, turns out Sigfried and the Prophets all placed their DNA in a test tube filled with nanomachines and Panakea Fluid in order to leave a legacy behind in case they failed. I killed her, just the way Dad killed Leehalt. And finally, we're starving, can we get some good hearty meat for our dinner. If not, I can go out hunting for it," offered Lilka, only half joking about it.

Virginia told her children and their allies, "We've got plenty of food. Each of you can help yourself to whatever it is that you want. Just don't leave a mess behind in the kitchen, or the four of you will have to clean it up before those of you that don't live here go home. You know how I hate a messy kitchen."

They did as they were told. All of them were fixing a great dinner that consisted of a chicken oven roasted with the perfect blend of spices cooking on it. While they waited, the team played blackjack with a set of cards that Ashley kept in his room. Jet decided to join the game, and Virginia followed not long after.

Jet looked at Leon. "Forgive me for being blunt, but I think I've seen you before. Well, maybe not you exactly, but someone who looks like you. I get the feeling that you're related to a person Ginny and I might have run into while we were on our journey around the world. And there's a pretty long list. I can count on both hands and feet to keep score, and still no have enough fingers and toes to finish it."

"Simple," Leon stated, "I'm Maya Schroedinger's son. Mom told me all about you guys. She often spoke harshly, but Uncle Alfred said she really liked your team. Ma's always been a little bit critical of other human beings, Dad learned early on not to argue with her when she'd made up her mind to do something."

"Sounds a lot like Maya to me. I'm glad to hear she's been doing well for herself. Although she did have a bit of a temper, I could tell she wasn't really that bad. Just a tad bit money hungry, and refused to let anything distract her from her goal. Sort of like a certain man I know who just happens to be sitting at this table with us now," said Virginia. She poked Jet with her elbow as a tease. He didn't find it funny.

Lilka inquired, "Mom, if it's ok with you, could we sort of continue our journey as Drifters? I mean, if we were able to destroy a powerful Demoness like Oni, I'm sure we could handle ourselves out there. We'll come to visit you as much as you like, don't worry. I don't want to leave the two of you all alone out here, but my wings just have to fly as far as they can, to see whatever they can on this planet of ours."

Virginia smiled. "Your wings have already taken you far, the two of you are no longer children. If this is what you wish to do, you have my blessings. I trust that you are mature and responsible enough to take on this task, after all, you are my children, as well as your father's children. Being a Drifter is in your blood, the same as your magic, or your special power. Use them, and live your life the way you want it. Don't let anyone restrain your wings, fly as high as you can and find your place in this world."

Can you say cheesy ending? I'm sure you can. But how else could we do this? Usually, I end with snappy romance or weddings, but these characters are too young. Their feelings still have to develop. I'm getting to the thank yous. First, to Media Vision for making the game. Then, to the sites that got me into Wild ARMs. Of course, to any RPG and anime I found some little quirks from, I sometimes can't name them all due to their sheer number.
