At that point Daria/Xena and
Gabrielle came into view. Phaedra/Gabrielle and Xena stood up
and waited for the other two to catch up to them. Xena looked
around and said, “I know it’s a little early, but this
is as good a place as any to make camp for the
night.” She turned to Daria/Xena and
Phaedra/Gabrielle, “Are you two going to escort us all the
way to the village, or will you be leaving soon – now that
Velasca is gone.”

Phaedra/Gabrielle smiled and
answered, “We’ll stay through dinner if you don’t
mind…”

“That would be great…
there’s so much more I’d like to ask you,”
bubbled Gabrielle. “If you’re willing to talk,
that is…”

The four sat around the fire after
dinner each lost in their own thoughts. Finally Gabrielle
broke the silence. “Ya know, as difficult as it was waiting
for Velasca to show up again, I really enjoyed getting to know you,
Phaedra, Daria… It’s nice to know that we’re
still together in the future and that we can stay together through
difficult times – even if you won’t tell us what those
are,” she grinned wickedly.

“But I’ve been
thinking. Xena I hope you agree. We know too much
already.” The young bard grew
thoughtful. “Knowing what I do know… I think it
may already affect some of the choices I’d make. I think
there are things I’d do differently, and that could have
drastic results in your lives. We’ll be back at the
Amazon village by midday tomorrow, is there a way you could somehow
make us forget this whole encounter? Make us forget about
Velasca’s return and… meeting you?”

Daria/Xena and Phaedra/Gabrielle
glanced at each other and then at their counterparts. Finally
Phaedra/Gabrielle asked, “Xena, do you agree? Do you
want to remember everything about the last few days, or would you
also like to forget?”

“If I chose to remember what
you’ve told us, then I know that I would do anything I could
to change things.” She looked at Gabrielle, her
soulmate, “I don’t want her to have to go through what
you did, but I also know that no matter how much I try to protect
Gabrielle, she’s got to be free to make her own
choices.” Xena took a deep breath. “Yes,
erase our memories.”

“All right, then,”
said Daria/Xena when you go to sleep for the night, we’ll
erase your memories of this last encounter with Velasca and of
us. We will leave you with a memory of a pleasant trip back to
the village however so that you don’t realize your memory has
been tampered with… is that good
enough?”

Xena took Gabrielle’s hand
and both agreed. The two got ready for sleep and lay down in
their shared bedroll. Daria/Xena and Phaedra/Gabrielle waited
until their breathing had become slow and even indicating that they
were asleep. They stood up and walked over to their
counterparts, Daria/Xena to Xena, and Phaedra/Gabrielle to
Gabrielle and placed a hand on each forehead.

“Daria,” whispered
Phaedra/Gabrielle, “Don’t erase their memory of being
together… they deserve to keep
that.”

Daria/Xena agreed, “Ok, but
this is still gonna change our past…”

“Not by much,” said
Phaedra/Gabrielle. “Don’t you remember, that last
morning on our way back to the village, we finally talked about
that kiss, the one when you were inside Autolycus, and what it
meant? We admitted our feelings… I’d totally
forgotten until now, but this is when it
started.”

“That’s right…
how could I have forgotten?” wondered
Daria/Xena. “Ok, we’ll give them the memories that
we have, from the first time, of our trek back to the Amazon
village.”

A soft glow emanated from the
fingertips of the two gods as they worked to alter the memories of
their sleeping younger selves. When they finished the two
older women walked a short distance from the camp to make their
vortex to return home. “You know, Gabrielle, I guess
this is why we don’t remember any of this happening. We
chose to forget… kind of weird, huh?”

“Sure, but it makes
sense,” answered the older Gabrielle. “We are who
we are… we may age, but our personalities really stay pretty
much the same. Hey!” she said, her eyes twinkling,
“do you still have those Sappho
tickets?”

“Yeeessss,” drawled
the older Xena.

“Well, I was thinking, why
don’t we go back a half-day earlier and catch the Sappho
reading. We could avoid ourselves until late the next
morning. Please, Xena… please, please, please,”
begged Gabrielle doing her best puppy-dog
impression.

“You’re
bad…” Xena laughed. “Ok, if you really want
to see Sappho that badly, we can go back early. Your idea, you
create the vortex,” she said gesturing to the empty space in
front of them.

Gabrielle clapped her hands with glee and threw
her arms around Xena. “Thank you! My birthday just
got even better!” With that the warrior-bard gestured
and created a vortex that would take the pair back to midday on her
birthday.
