19 January 2003 - the truth revealed

Miette/Isaac

Miette had taken a closer look at the directory given her by YIRAAS, and to her astonishment discovered a familiar set of internet details.

"No way!" she whispered to herself. "Oh dang, no way..."

Immediately she went online.

"Come on, come on... yes! He's there."

She hesitated a moment thought, before moving the mouse to click on the name. But that hesitation only resulted in her getting an IM from him instead.

I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Hey sexy
BeamOfLight: Hi darling
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I have to say you're looking particualrily gorgeous today
BeamOfLight: *giggle* aww thanks
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: No, thank you!
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: *drool*
BeamOfLight: lol
BeamOfLight: Umm, I have a question for you
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Shoot
BeamOfLight: Have you heard of something called YIRAAS?

Isaac paused. Where had she heard that before? YIRAAS wasn't exactly widely publisied. What should he say?

BeamOfLight: It's this place I've been receiving mail from.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: What kind of mail?
BeamOfLight: Oh y'know, the kind you send to alien/human hybrids

Alien/Human hybrids? Then... Isaac's eyes went wide. No way!

I have not yet begun to procrastinate: What?
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: You're trying to tell me you're from another planet?
BeamOfLight: Ha ha, sorta
BeamOfLight: One of the things they sent me was a directory
BeamOfLight: and guess what, your name was on it
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: erm... yeah, okay... you caught me
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: heh
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I'm an alien
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: You're a hybrid I suppose?
BeamOfLight: Yeah
BeamOfLight: I can manipulate light
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Telekinesis
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: This is way cool
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I didn't think I'd ever meet another alien randomly
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Hang on, you're what? 19 or something?
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: If you have powers you would have been automatically joined at 16...
BeamOfLight: Not if they don't know you exist
BeamOfLight: my dad is an alien, but he doesn't want to be
BeamOfLight: he ran off and has been pretending to be human ever since
BeamOfLight: Heck, I don't even think he told mum what he was until us I was born and my powers stared emerging
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Dang
BeamOfLight: My middle brother also has powers
BeamOfLight: You know how I told you he ran away?
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Yeah
BeamOfLight: Well, that's because one of Dad's bros showed up
BeamOfLight: He has pyrokinesis and hasn't learnt control (my bro)
BeamOfLight: So he ran away with my uncle so he could learn
BeamOfLight: Dad would never help him
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: That's nuts!!!!!!
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: He can't control pyrokinesis and his own father won't teach him??????
BeamOfLight: I know
BeamOfLight: And now Dad's being all stupid around me
BeamOfLight: He thinks I'm gonna run away too or bring alien hunters down on us or something
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Ahh... alien hunters...
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: evil people
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: too many bad experiences with them
BeamOfLight: aww *hugs*
BeamOfLight: if Dad ever knew I was now a member of YIRAAS he's probably kill me
BeamOfLight: he'd go psycho if he knew I was talking to other aliens
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: sounds like you need more hugs than me right now
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: *hugs*
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Don't worry, you'll aways have me!
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I won't go psycho on you!!
BeamOfLight: aww, thanks
BeamOfLight: umm... so is it just coincidence... or are you really Isaac Hanson?

While Miette in England was biting her lip, Isaac in America winced.

I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Yeah, I'm Isaac Hanson
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I suppose you got that from the directory, huh?
BeamOfLight: Yeah, I did
BeamOfLight: Just so we're even, my name is Miette
BeamOfLight: Miette Braddock
BeamOfLight: But I get called Mi (pron 'me') for short sometimes.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I get called Ike for short
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: But this is not going to get you out of me calling you 'sexy' and 'gorgeous' and 'all round heart stopper' any more
BeamOfLight: Lol
BeamOfLight: I wouldn't change this friendship for the world
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Good
BeamOfLight: and don't worry, I won't start telling everyone
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: Well, thanks
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I appreciate that
BeamOfLight: I think both of us undertsnad the need to keep quiet about certain things
I have not yet begun to procrastinate: I think we do too

They chatted a little longer, then Isaac had to go. And he logged off smiling. This was the best day. She finally knew who he was! He wouldn't feel so bad about avoiding certain subjects now. And she was a hybrid too! In a few mere minutes their relationship had taken a huge step forward. Yep, this was the best thing to happen to him all year.
