“It’s not just that
it’s her too… I mean me… I mean
Phaedra. I can tell she’s me, but she’s
not me… she looks like me but she’s
different…”

“Gabrielle,” soothed
Daria/Xena, “You’re what? Nineteen?
Twenty? Phaedra’s older. If you’re talking
about appearance, a woman still changes, matures, quite a bit in
her early twenties.”

“Well, there’s that,
but I’m talking about attitude…” said Gabrielle
thoughtfully. “She’s a lot more confident,
self-assured than I am. And then there’s those
sais… I like my staff. It’s a good defensive
weapon. I can’t imagine myself ever choosing something
that’s so… so obviously designed for
killing. It’s not me…”

Daria/Xena sighed; she knew this
wasn’t going to be easy. I’m gonna have to
tell her… Trust Gabrielle to get me to talk about things I
don’t want to. I wish Phaedra was here, she could do
this much better that me… “Gabrielle, what we told
you last night is true. It’s not good for either of you
to know too much about your future. Knowing your future could
cause you to make changes. Phaedra and I have been through
some difficult times, but it’s been worth every minute of
it…” Daria/Xena trailed off thinking about some of
those difficult times and realizing that what she said was
true… it was worth it. Daria/Xena then launched
into a very abbreviated narrative detailing some of the life
changing adventures she and Phaedra/Gabrielle had been through,
making no mention however of Eve or their twenty-five year
‘nap’.

A mile or so down the road
Phaedra/Gabrielle was easily pacing Xena when Xena called a
halt. The Warrior Princess slowed to a walk, and turned to the
woman who looked so like her companion and began questioning
her. “Alright, if you’re really Gabrielle, you
know I didn’t ask you to come with me to scout
ahead.” Phaedra/Gabrielle nodded her head in
acknowledgement. “I have some questions and I expect
answers.”

Phaedra/Gabrielle sighed, and
said, “I figured as much. If you’re wondering if
we’re really you, yes, I tell you again we are from a few
years in your future. We thought it best to disguise ourselves
so that you wouldn’t know who we were… less questions
that way… but then Gabrielle caught us last night. We
let our concentration slip, and with it our disguises
disappeared,” she grinned ruefully.”

“More like you let your
passion take over…” suggested Xena.

“Yes, you could say
that…” shrugged the warrior-bard.
that…” shrugged the warrior-bard.
“So you two have been
… more than friends for a while, now? But my guess is
that this isn’t how… or when it happened, right?”
asked the warrior.

asked the warrior.
“Right. We have no
memory of Velasca ever getting loose or of meeting our future
selves. It was still a while before either Xena…
Daria… my Xena or I would admit our feelings for
each other even though we each knew almost from the start that we
were meant to be together… as
soulmates…”
