Coming home for a visit(Gabrielle)

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle didn't know what to say or do at this point and she really was confused as to what was going on. how could Xena's mother remember and then all of the sudden forget? There was something wrong with this place but she couldn't figure it out just yet as that worried her very much.

"I did die Xena just I don't have memory of how and why... we are all back and that's all that matters to me really! your brothers are coming back soon and will explain what they know of what's going on here! In the mean time you two need rest and good food no doubt! I don't know what's wrong Xena and why I remember and then forget again...it's strange but we will figure it out when the time comes as always really"

They ll just looked at each other and not Gabrielle nor Xena's mother said anything else for now as they were trying to figure things out.

[Xena]

Xena looked at Gabrielle then at her mother as well as she looked at the other people then back at Gabrielle, after that again at her mother. All of it didn't make any sense to her and the more she thought of the more she was sure something was wrong with all that. Xena didn't like any of it at ll., she was worried sick as well as confused.


"You are making no sense mom, one moment you say you die and then got back not sure how and the next you say that you never died and act like something is wrong with me and Gabrielle. What's going on here? it's so like you to say that but don't you wonder how or why are you back? and what do they know and when did the leave? because when we got here we haven't seen them, not when i got here nor when Gabrielle, right Gabrielle? yeah we do but we can't sleep so, we need to know what is going on here. If you don't know then none of us does, it isn't good at all. How can you be so sure mom? all we know is that we may never find out and then what? mom it's all crazy, none of you could have came back, yet you did"

Xena was confused, true she missed her mother and all so she was happy to see her but all of it seemed unreal and yet it all was very real. The thing she wondered the most was how is it even possible at all. Xena wondered who were behind all of this and what did that person planed.

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle then looked at Xena and all around as she didn't know what to make of this really and also how all of this was possible in the first place. she then sighed as she had no idea really and wondered if Xena's brothers really were coming at all. As she thoughtthis they came back and looked at her an Xena as they smiled slightly.

"Xena? Is that really you? Wow we hoped you ould come home to us some day.... you are most likely wondering how we are back well the answer to that is the place was brought bak by powerful magic and as such so were we...this is all so very confusing even to us really"

They then hugged their mother and looked around as they put what they had hunted to be cooked and smiled again.

"Hello my boys,now we really are family again... I don't know who did the spell to bring us back but here we are and I didn't mean to act so strangely it's just I'm still confused about all of this eally"

Gabrielle was about to say something as they both showed p and she was even more confused now then she was before as to what the hell was going on in the place.

[Xena]

Xena looked around then back at Gabrielle and sighed not sure what to think, she had a feeling her friend was still as confused and shocked as she was. Which surely didn't surprised her at all, all of it made no sense at all. Xena looked around not sure if her brothers were coming or not or was it all a trick, however everything she saw so far showed the opposite which was impossible or so she thought and was sure that Gabrielle thought the same. Xena froze as she saw her siblings then looked at Gabrielle and back at them then at her mother, it more and more made no sense to her. Not to mention only one of her brothers met Gabrielle not both also it was possible that he told he other one.

"Yes it's really is me. Is it really you, though? i died sure but was brought back more then once. What do you mean come home i just found out that the place were back. I am back for awhile now. Had no idea that this place was also back nor that you were back. Well i heard the rumors for awhile but didn't believe till now, i just had to see for myself. I mean in my place you would do the same, no? is that so? why would that be? who would possibly care to bring this place back? me and Gabrielle surely can't bring nothing back, unless we build it and it would take a long time to do. Am sure it is, haven't you tried to figure it all out or something?"

Xena watched all that as she said nothing. She smiled at her mother and her siblings then looked at Gabriele and shrugged then sighed. No matter how much she tried to figure it out she just couldn't, it was way to confusing and strange for her. Xena said nothing for a long time as she just looked at all her family then around, trying to think of anything more to say.

"Family again maybe, but that can't be. All that is to strange and confusing to believe. If you all are back then why my son, Solan isn't back. If he was back i would have seen him by now and i haven't seen him. Well if you don't know then no one does, which is shocking and that's alright mom, don't worry about it. Well you are not the only one, believe me. It's all to much to handle. I can't believe this. It was probably Ares or Someone else but the big question is who though."

Xena looked at her brothers and her mother for awhile then looked at Gabrielle, as she hoped to hear her say something, anything at all. She was sure that Gabrielle wanted to say something or at least she had a feeling that she did. Yet she wasn't to sure about that though.

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle looked at them all and sighed as she thought about what to say right now. this all didn't make sense and the fact that they were back seemed like a sign but she wasn't sure if it was good or bad really. She wasn't sure if Solen was back or not but even if he was then what in the world would have done this and for what reason.

"We heard you all had died and here you are now in front of us! This makes no sense and isn't natural...I'm glad you are all back but it doesn't seem possible to me and I'm sure Xena agrees with this really! Maybe he is back Xena... you never know but right now we have to find out how this is even possible"

Xena's family looked at them both as they all shook thier heads not knowing what to say about all of this really.

"We are as confused as you are Xena but none the less we are happy to be back with you and as you see the rumors were true and maybe it's Ares but then again who knows really! what have you been up to lately Xena and hello again Gabrielle"

Her mother then sighed as she spoke

"We will figure this out soon enough Xena but why can't you both just be happy that we are back and here to spend time together again? This is strange but all the same a good thin in my mind"

[Xena]

Xena looked at them all shocked and confused. She had no idea what to say or think she just set there seemed to stare at nothing in particular. Xena had no idea who else were back, not to mention if her only son was back or not, not to mention she had no idea who must have done this and why.

"She is right, we did and now here you are like nothing happened. It's not neutral and surely makes no sense. Yeah we are glad you are back but as Gabrielle here said, it doesn't seem possible. Maybe? that's all we know, maybe but if he is where could he possibly be, Gabrielle? yeah we do but where do we even begin so?"

Xena said as she went back to reality again, she was just to shocked that she didn't had much to say. She looked at her family then around, after that she looked at Gabrielle for a little while there before she turned to look back at her mother and her brothers. True she loved them and missed them but she never thought that they would be back.

"Are you now? i can't tell that you are confused about that since you seem way to pleased about that to even care. I am happy to be with you too but it can't be, you died. I was brought back by chance but i don't remember bringing you back with me. Yeah we see that the rumors are true but how?yeah who knows, well i for one am gonna find out. I have been doing what am i always doing and wait? one of you are not suppose to know her, since she was there after you died. Which i was blamed for your death. It's to strange."

Xena said as she looked at them all then Sighed. All of this were way to much for her. Xena was to shocked as well as confused but was gonna do all she could to find out the truth no matter how hard it was, she wasn't gonna give up that's for sure since it surely wasn't like her. Xena just sighed and looked at the ground after a while.

"We sure will, mom. There is no way that we just leave it at that. We are but it's not possible. It's more then impossible it's un neutral and crazy. I would like to spend time with you and Gabrielle would too but first we need to figure that out. In my mind too but it's also confusing and even worrying because it could be a trap or something"

[Gabrielle]

Her brothers looked at her and sighed slightly as the one that knew Gabrielle nodded to her slightly and looked back at Xena with a sigh. Her mother got things for those around in the inn and Gabrelle herself was lost in thoughts once more. There was a lot to figure out really and all seemed so crazy to her.

"I don't know whre he woul be Xena, maybe where he grew up? this is all so strange and crazy as well...how did this happen and why?"

Xena's mother sighed

"I'm sure you two can figure this out for us all as you always seem to do that really...this is not a trap Xea, we are all back again and safe as well"

Gabrielle then hugged Xena very confused ad not knowing what else to say at this point really.

[Xena]

Xena looked at Gabrielle then at Her mother and siblings, so on and so forth. She looked at her brother who knew Gabrielle and said nothing for now anyhow. Xena watch her mother do what she did and sighed. She had no clue what to think, she hadn't know before hand and she surely didn't know now.

"Neither do i Gabrielle. Maybe so but why would whoever did this would actually do all this for?torture us? i agree Gabrielle and makes no sense. Honestly i am scared and am not always scared, yet this scares me. That's a good question i would like to know the answer myself trust me."

She looked at her mother and sighed, Xena surely was happy to see them all but it didn't made it any less shocking so, that's for sure. Xena planed to do whatever was possible to figure it all out, no matter how long would it take. She didn't care how long would it take but she had to figure it out and fast.

"We do and we will but as you said we always do but it's because no one else would do that. Is that so, mom? how do you know? you have no clue who brought you back, so how can you know that?you seem safe and all but how can we be sure it's all real or that you guys are really safe?"

Xena said and hugged Gabrielle back. She leaned on Gabrielle's shoulder as she hugged her. Xena was glad that she had Gabrielle with her with her, since it made it much easier for her then going threw all this by herself. There wasn't any other person she would rather go threw this with then Gabrielle. Also even if Xena admitted or not she missed Joxer.

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle looked at the place and then at /xena as she said this and was surprised to hear her admit to that really as she doesn't always do so in a case such as this. she then shrugged as she didn;t know what else to say about all of this and listened to what Xena's mother would say to them now . she still wasn't sure this was real but all the same she knew they had to figure it it and fast.

"I cb just feel it is all Xena and if it were a trap you would know it by now as you wouldn't be able to leave this place and you can come and go as you please really! I can't be 100% sure of anything really but my heart tells me to trust this and be happy"

Xena's brothers then took in what they hunted and started to cut it for supper as they both sighed as well and looked at Gabrielle and Xena again with a sigh.

[Xena]

Xena looked at Gabrielle then around and back at her, she was sure that her friend was surprised that she admitted that in fact she was surprised herself too. She then looked at the place and sighed. Xena was surprised that her friend, Gabrielle said nothing as she then looked at her mother. She wasn't sure any of it was real as she was sure Gabrielle wasn't sure of it too.

"You can and how can you exactly? are you sure? there were times when it took awhile for me to find out that it was so it could be here besides we didn't even try to leave yet, remember? can we? i don't know yet since i haven't even try and neither did Gabrielle. No you can't, none of us can that's for sure. Is that so? that's exactly the problem don't you think? you can't know what to think because something pushes you to think that not anything else. How can you know that what you are feeling is real?"

She said and watched that then looked around and after that at Gabrielle before she turned to look at her mother again. Xena looked up to wards her brothers and then she looked away not saying a word. She was lost in thoughts, something in this situation wasn't right she just knew it but had no idea what but she did plan to find out so.

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle looked at them all as she sighed slightly and then looked back at Xena again with a look that meant she didn't know what to think bout all of this really. she didn't know who did this and why but was sure that something was wrong here and she would figure it out as soon as she could.

"Like Xena said,how do you all know this is real? and not some sick joke to try and trap Xena or get her off guard? All of this is so impossible yet here you all are in front of us like nothing had happened and time it's self stood still! This is crazy not to mention doesn't make sense and I'm sure Xena agrees with me on that one"

Xena's mother looked at them both as she sighed slightly

"You can leave at any time as the town ends where you came from Xena and don't be silly Gabrielle if this was a trap then we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation now would we? Come on try to relax and tomorrow if you wish you can both be on your way and find the person that did this! I'm just glad to be talking to you both once more and that's a happy moment really! How is my grand daughter doing? Is she still a strong symble of peace around the land? Oh I wish she was here too as I'd love to hug her again"

Xena's brothers then cooked the food that hunted and looked around as all the people ate or drank and were happy or at least it seemed that way to them any way. What xena was saying interested them but all the same they were happy to be back and didn't really care how it came to pass.

[Xena]

Xena looked around then at Gabrielle again as she saw her look at her and understood her look very well as she returned the same look. She had no idea who did this and why just as she was sure that Gabrielle didn't know. Xena knew for sure that she and Gabrielle had to figure it out fast before it was to late. The longer she didn't know the more worried she had became which wasn't good at all.

"Exactly my point, Thank you Gabrielle? yeah really, even Gabrielle gets me. For all we know it maybe the case here. After all we haven't saw none of this people truly leave this place and come back. We haven't seen people out side, really. Did we Gabrielle? exactly as Gabi just said, it's all so cray too and unbelievable, something has to be wrong here. Yeah i do agree with that, it's un real and wrong."

She said as she looked at everyone and sighed as she wasn't sure what to believe anymore, however she still thought it was a trick and a trap. Xena wanted to believe it was all real and possible but she couldn't since it was completely strange, confusing and weird to her not to mention it scared her because all the time she had no idea what was happening she was step behind whoever did this and that way she was more and more in danger, and it wasn't good.

"Is that so? how can you know that? you barely leave this place. Yeah it's your tavern and all but you used to go out side and all but not anymore, how come? be nice to her and she got a good point, mom. And we may still have this talk even if it was a trap. Yet you are meant to say all this, isn't it? that's how it was all created to act normal and all, isn't it, mom? or should i say, Ares. Is that so? and how can we be sure that it's the truth huh? how can we? perhaps if we stay we would get more stuck here. In that so, are you? or is it just your way to make me feel excited and what not. Is it away to lure me to your life, Ares if so it's not funny and you will pay for it. She is fine and what is it you ask of her none stop? yes she is and how do you know this if you barely remember Elysian Fields? if you remember that at all. is that so? You act like you hugged her all your life but you only did so when she was a baby. What's going on here?"

She watched all this and sighed as she looked at Gabrielle. She just looked at the people and who looked at her she smiled back at them but not sure what to do or think. She didn't like that no one even wondered how it was even possible since she expected to actually care and wonder about that. Xena wondered what was going on and what whoever was doing all this planed to gain by doing all this.

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle looked at them all as she looked around the place and walked out of the tavern to try and go out of the town not really paying much attention to anything right now. she then sighed as she looked at the sky and around them as this place really wasn't possible in her mind and yet here it was right in front of them like it had been here all these yeas untouched.

"Xena's right you know,this place isn't possible and yet here we are talking to you all who should be dead and not in this place.... Why are you acting too strangely any way? This is your tavern but this isn't possible"

All that she said before she walked out of thr place as Xena's mother looked at her and smiled with love in her eyes

"I feel like I have been holding her my entire life Xena and your warrior instincts are going wild again... I do remember it very well and the chaos it is down there ever since you killed Hades and his wife took over for him! I'm not Ares don't be silly dear and sorry Gabrielle didn't mean to sound mean really! I was at peace but something pulled me back here and now here I stand in front of you"

[Xena]

Xena looked at Gabrielle and watched her as she did what she did as she followed her out of the tavern to see if she walked out or not. She sighed as she saw Gabrielle walk out of the tavern and out of the town. Xena was relived to know that it's was possible to do.

"Is that so? you haven't said you felt that way before. You tried to match make me more then anything and gone wild again? i don't think so. Do you really? and it's not my fault, they were after my daughter and how do you possibly know about that? you were not even there in the begin with. Is that so? prove it. You sounded mean and strange. Is that so? so it's all real? then why part of it feels like it's not?"

[Gabrielle]

Gabrielle looked at Xena as she spoke and then sighed slightly still not sure what to think or do now as something or someone had done this but the question was why? and how? For that matter. this all didn't make sense to her and when she heard what Xena's mother said she sighed slightly.

"Xena's right, how do you know about all of that if you weren't there? you were the prisoner of that demon until we freed you on that night... this all doesn;'t make sense and Xena's right it feels half right and then the other half feels fake! what the hell is going on here?"

Xena's mother looked at them as she joined them out of the town and sighed hugging Xena and then looked around at the world around her with a sigh.

"I don't know why it feels that way as I don't know how I'm back. I know I'm not making sense but that's because I don't know what to think really and I feel that way because I always have Xena as she is my granddaughter after all! This place is real but was brought back by something and that is what you need to figure out Xena and the only way I can proove it is to sing you something I did when you were very little"

She then sang the song knowing that Xena would know it and there for have the faith that she really was her mother as it was the truth after all. she then looked at Gabrielle as she kept singing and Gabrielle smiled at how beautiful the song sounded.
