Prologue:

TO UNDERSTAND THIS STORY, PLEASE READ SAME DIFFERENCE BEFORE THIS ONE...THANK YOU!

I used to think this was all just a fantastical dream, that I had been in a coma, for the whole time I'd been here, and that soon, I was going to wake up, and find that I was in a hospital bed, wrapped in tubes and listening to the rhythmatic beep...beep...beep of heart monitors. But as the years drew on, I began to notice, that this wasn't a dream at all, because if it was, then I wouldn't be alone right now, and I would have been able to have sex with Maccus, and not get pregnant. But here I am, a Twenty Eight year old woman, in a Seventeen year old's body, with a Nine and a half year old son, and I'm living with Hammerheads.

The more I think about it, the more I realise...I'm blessed in a way. And each and every day I live here, I thank whatever god that's up there, in the sky, for giving me the most wonderful thing any person could ever have. I have a wonderful life, living both on land, and in the ocean, and I have the most wonderful blessing I have ever had...I have a beautiful son. I don't regret sleeping with Maccus, I do regret running afterwards. I love him so much, and I've missed him a lot, but I was just so scared of what Jones would do to me.

But now I'm wondering if running was a bad idea, I admit, I ran from my own punishment, and let Maccus take it all, and that was selfish, but...it can't be changed now. Life is what it is, and I have to make the most of what my life has thrown at me. I can't say that I haven't wished that I could go home many times, but then I find myself thinking...If I had gone home, then I wouldn't have met Kalen, and also made a very good friend. I also, wouldn't have made myself a new family.

In all, I don't think my life has ever been as exciting as this, I'm where I want to be, and I am loving my life. The ocean here, is so darn clear, you can look into it from the surface, and see right to the bottom, well, you can in the shallows, in the deep, it's a lot harder. You can see so far, then it just goes black. To be honest, when I gave birth to Toby...I made him go up to the surface to breathe, because I didn't know that because of my gene change, he would be able to breathe underwater too.

It wasn't until he was five years old, that I realised, he could breathe under the water, and he could be with our family. At first, the hammerheads where wary of him, until they noticed it was my scent that he had on him, then they accepted him into the family. We have a routine worked out, we eat fish for three weeks of a month, and then we go to Kalen and have a proper nutritious meal. We then go back to the ocean.

I don't think I want my life to change...ever.

A/N: Alright, here's the prologue of the sequel to Same Difference. I hope you enjoy it, and please don't forget to review. I really hope this one has the same response as the other one did. Anyways...enjoy :)

Special thanks to all my reviewers who have stuck by me in the production of this sequal and the previous story. It warms my heart to know that you all love my story so much. I can't tell you how much love and gratitude I have for all you guys in my heart, but lets put it this way, if I could meet you all, either one by one or together, then I would hug the lot of you and thank you all personally. But seeing as that's never going to happen I'm just going to have to do it virtually.

*OXOX for all of you.

P.S. For those who don't know OXOX are hugs and kisses.
