Sky and Riven noticed Tecna getting pulled into an alley and took out towards the stranger that had the gal to grab Tecna in public.

Sky called Bloom who told Flora to get Kali from her dorm and meet them in the quad.

The girls gathered and soon found the boys, Sky doing his best to calm down the frazzled fairy of technology.

"Tecna..."

Sky noted the older fairy along with the girls.

"Who is that, Bloom?" Sky asked as the older fairy embraced Tecna

"That's Tecna's sister" Flora explained "Her name is Kali, they were just recently reunited"

Then a bespectacled teen boy came in looking angry and upset.

"Calm yourself Timmy, things are under control" Riven said

"Good" Timmy replied as he saw Kali with Tecna

Tecna looked and saw Timmy there and seemed calmer, she went to him and Kali turned to Riven

"We managed to hold onto the moron, do you know him?" Riven asked pointing to the man that had grabbed Tecna

"Not by name, but the face haunts me in my nightmares to this day" she replied "he was the one that took Tecna from her crib the day our mother was killed, she was just six months old at the time" Kali explained "and I want to know why?"

Kali knelt in front of the stranger in full Enchantix form.

"Tell me why you took my baby sister and left me, a four year old girl, there alone with my mother's dead body?" Kali demanded

"Why, because I knew she'd get adopted out quickly"

"What about me?" Kali demanded "didn't I deserve that opportunity?"

"It was just the logical thing, infants get adopted"

"And four year-old children get scarred." Kali said angrily "do you know how long it took me to quit having nightmares about that, and even now I have dreams about the events of that night. Hearing my sister crying after I promised my dying mother I would protect her" tears flowed freely from Kali's face "What did you want with Tecna now?"

"I wanted to see the young woman she turned out to be"

"There are hundreds of words in the realms I could use to describe you, but right now the only one I will use is pathetic" Kali said standing and wiping at her tears as the local law enforcement personnel came up

"If I'm right you teens might be getting a reward"

"Why?" Sky asked

"This man is wanted in connection to three unsolved murders in the binary galaxy,"

"Wait, was one of them a mother of two young girls?" Kali asked

"That is an ongoing investigation"

"What if I told you I witnessed him in the house where said murder took place?" Kali asked

"You, but you would have only been"

"Four... yes, but I've relived that moment in my nightmares ever since I saw his face and I saw him take my little sister from her crib and leave me there. I think he had an accomplice because he came from the back of the house to get my sister and my mother was attacked in the front."

"What planet was this on?" the officer asked

"Zenith" Kali replied

"We will contact you,"

"Okay, I attend Alfea School for Fairies, my name is Kali. I'm sure Faragonda would be able to get you in touch with me"

The officials took the suspect into custody and Kali turned to her sister and the others

"Kali, is that true?" Tecna asked

"Unfortunately, it is, but that changes nothing of the way I look at you, it just makes me that much more grateful that I found you" Kali hugged Tecna again "I love you sis"

"I love you, too" Tecna replied feeling the soothing comfort of knowing that she had real family.

It was the day of the spring festival and Tecna couldn't find Kali.

"Flora, have you seen my sister anywhere?"

"No, I haven't, sweetie, is something wrong?" Flora asked

Tecna didn't reply as there was an announcement for the concert

"We now have some Alfea seniors up with a song that their lead singer wrote"

"Thank you" it was Kali

Tecna and Flora arrived at the stage to see Kali sitting on a stool holding an acoustic guitar, Maeve had a violin, Shelby was on keyboard and Isabella was at drums.

"This is a song I wrote for my sister... the sister I just found after so many years, I wanted to find a way to let her know that no matter what I will always be here for her, and I've always found that I expressed myself best in song, so I hope you enjoy it, and to my sister, I love you, and I want you to remember I'll never be more than a phone call away"

The group began to play the intro and the Kali began to sing

When darkness falls upon your heart and soul
I'll be the light that shines for you
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you.
When you can't find your way
I'll find my way to you
when troubles come around
I will come to you

Tecna felt shocked, she knew that this was for her, she didn't feel it was necessary but enjoyed the thought

I'll be your shoulder
when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter
when you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you
I'll be there
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
the one that will hold onto you
When you feel that rain fallin down.
When there's nobody else around
I'll be.

Kali made eye contact with her sister knowing that her sister saw no logic in what she was doing, but this was her way to express everything she felt in her heart.

And when you're there with no one there to hold
I'll be the arms that reach for you
and when you feel your faith is running low
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies
I'll be the truth you need
When you need someone to run to
you can run to me

I'll be your shoulder
when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter
when you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you
I'll be there
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
the one that will hold onto you
When you feel that rain fallin down.
When there's nobody else around
I'll be.

Kali smiled to Tecna who smiled back, she understood the meaning of the song and felt the love that Kali was projecting into her lyrics and her voice.

I'll be the sun
when your heart's filled with rain
I'll be the one
to chase the rain away

I'll be your shoulder
when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter
when you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you
I'll be there
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
the one that will hold onto you
When you feel that rain fallin down.
When there's nobody else around
I'll be.

I'll be

The song ended and Kali got off the stool and waved her sister onto the stage. Tecna came up to her sister and they embraced on stage in front of the crowd.

The sister got to Alfea that evening and were met by Faragonda

"Girls I have news for you both" she said

"What is it?" Kali asked

"They discovered what happened to your biological parents" Faragonda said "your mother's sister is still alive on Zenith and wants to see you during the break. We already checked with your parents and they agreed that it was a good idea for the two of you to get to know her and find out about your biological parents. That is if you want to"

"I want to, what about you, Tecna?" Kali said

"I would like that" Tecna replied

"Okay girls" Faragonda said

They got to their dorms and Tecna discovered that Maeve was in her dorm talking to her friends.

"Maeve, what are you doing her?" Tecna asked

"I wanted to tell you something I'm pretty sure that my friend Kali forgot to tell you in the excitement of what happened recently. She had a piece of jewelry she wanted to give you, I'll remind her of that, but her birthday is coming up one week from today."

"Oh, okay, guess I should try and figure out what to get her" Tecna said

"Tecna, you don't need to get her anything, she already told me that, she said that just having you around makes this the best birthday she'll ever have."

Kali returned to Tecna's dorm as Maeve left

"Tecna, I wanted to tell you that, I know Maeve told you my birthday is coming up, but I don't want you to feel pressured to get me anything, just knowing that you're around is better than any present you can buy me, and I got you this, but in the craziness I forgot to give it to you" Kali handed her the jewelry box

Tecna opened it up to find that it was an anklet with a letter T on it that was studded with purple gems

"It's beautiful, thank you" Tecna smiled and sat down on her bed and put it on

The next day Kali and Tecna went to meet up with their aunt on Zenith. This was the first time Kali had set foot on Zenith since she was four.

"Girls, I can't believe you agreed to come here" Tia said as her nieces approached her. "there is so much I want to teach you girls about your parents"

"We were hoping you would teach us about them" Kali said

The girls arrived at Tia's house to find that there were pictures of their mother in the house along with pictures of her own children.

"Wow, we have cousins too?" Tecna said

"Yes, they should be in their rooms" Tia said then called her son and daughter downstairs.

"This is Megan and Leon"

The girls were so happy to be with family that they didn't want to go back to Alfea after the break, but they were told that they were welcome to write to their aunt and cousins any time.

The girls vowed to keep in touch with each other and their remaining family members for as long as possible.

That summer Kali spent time with Tecna and her adoptive family on Zenith and Tecna spent some time with Kali and her family on Melody.

Then the next school year Kali found out that she was being offered a position on Magix and she took it so she could keep close to Tecna and make sure she kept her promise to her mother.

'I'm keeping my promise, mom, it might have taken me a while, but I fulfilled my word'

The End
