The future.

((This is set when the girls are about 23. They aren't guardians anymore and don't have any of their powers, but gifts related to their element that will be with them forever))

Taranee wrapped her dance class up, and waved goodbye to her students, smiling. Her hair was now shoulder-length, but with the odd braid, and she was wearing contacts, but took them out and replaced them with her glasses. She shrugged on her cardigan and a pain of tracksuit bottoms and packed her cd player up.

Will Vandom was walking by the dance studio and remembered that Taranee worked there as a part time job. Will's red hair reached to the small of her back and was put in a ponytail.

She entered the dance studio just as Taranee was wrapping up her class.

"Hey, long time no see!" Will exclaimed.

"Will!" Taranee exclaimed, "How did you know I was working here?"

"Didn't you tell us when you first got the job?" Will asked. "Sorry I haven't been able to visit though. I've been really busy since I'm going to law school."

What a scatterbrain I am! giggled Taranee to herself, "You think Law School is bad? I've gotta juggle this job and a Psychology Masters degree. Plus Nigel keeps... practically stalking me. Always ringing and texting... and showing up at my house. I won't forgive him. He knows I'm with Luke now."

Will smiled sympathetically. "He'll get the message...eventually. Well, I'm afraid I won't be much help with boys."

"Oh right, Matt," said Taranee simply, looking at Will's downcast face. "Come on, lets go and get something to eat. Dancing always makes me hungry."

"All right," Will said, glad to do something that would take her mind off Matt. "Do you come over to my apartment to get a bite, or do you want to eat at a restaurant ?"

"There's a great Japanese place not far from here, I used to go there with... Nigel..." she trailed off. "Uhh... you're place sounds great, I'll follow behind in my car, yeah?"

Hay Lin walked into Princess Sushi,A Japanese restaurant. Her long black hair was tied up in a high pony-tail,And she was wearing a flight-attendent's uniform.

"Thank you,"She said smiling at the really old man, Who seated her.

"Sure," Will said, climbing into her car. They drove away from the dance studio parking lot and hit the main road, which was busy with traffic. Will stopped at a stop light and sighed. It would be a while into it turned green. She turned to the right and saw the Japanese restaurant Taranee had been talking about.

Squinting through the window, Will saw Hay Lin!

Taranee saw Will's car pull into Princess Sushi, What is she doing? said Taranee, If only I still had my power of telepathy. She still follwing Will in and parked beside her. Taranee got out of the car and asked Will, "I thought we were going to your place..." she trailed off, spotting a small chinese woman with long hair and an air hostess uniform.

Will grinned to Taranee and entered Princess Sushi. They hadn't seen Hay for ages.

"Hay Lin!" Will called from the entrace, waving to catch her attention.

"Hay! Hay!" Taranee called, hoping she could see them.

Hay Lin froze. She quickly turned around and tears came to her eyes. "Will! Taranee!" She exclaimed.

"hey Hay!" Will said, walking over to where Hay sat. "I haven't seen you in ages! How are you? What do you do for a living?"

Taranee giggled, gesturing to Hay's obvious Air Stewardess outfit.

"Oops!" Will said, grinning. "Do you mind if we eat with you?"

"No,Please do!"Hay Lin replied gesturing for them to sit.

"I haven't seen you two since the whole Guardian gig ended."She sighed. "Good old times.."

Taranee noticed an official-looking document by the side of Hay saying "Hay Qi* Lin First Oversea's Flight".
"How did it go, I bet is was great to fly again!" smiled Taranee.

*made up middle name.

((No! "Hay Hai Lin" lol))

"It was good,"Hay Lin replied with a sad little smile. "It reminded me of my wings ,actually!"

Will sighed as she remembered the good old days when they were guardians..."I wonder when there will be new guardians. Remember what Irma said? 'We'll be guardians forever'."

"Did you two get an eternal gift? I did. I'm never ever cold. Even in snow, I could go out in a tank top and shorts and still be warm. I don't even get frostbite!"

"Hm..." Will thought. "Can't think of any 'eternal power' I might have. Maybe it's yet to be discovered! Mmm...I still miss talking to my old calculator..."

"You must've had some interesting conversations!" Taranee giggled, remembering the first time she came to Will's house, and discovered a talking married couple of a computer and a printer.
