Damian looked at him with wide eyes. "Are you crazy? We could get eaten for dinner?"
The native was still standing there. At Damian's remark, he reached out and pinched his arm. "No, you too skinny. You may not be eaten until you fatten up. Are you...volunteering? I think that's word. Pale faced stranger teaches us his special language," he finished proudly.
"OW!" Damian complained loudly, holding his arm. "No, I am not volunteering!"
"Damian, you might want to lower your voice, lad," Ryan said in a hushed voice. "We're getting some attention..."
Damian looked around to see quite a few natives staring at him with strange expressions on their faces.

"Leave these men alone," Another man said. he came up and clapped Ryan on the shoulder. "They stay with me."
The other native quickly left.
"I apologize." He said. The man was roughly the same height as Ryan, with a hawlklike nose that was all too familiar... "They are preparing the festivities."
"Who is that woman?" Ryan asked, pointing.
The man looked pained a moment, then explained. "That is Serenity. She is going to marry the pale man."
"You don't seem to happy about that." Damian piped.

"No I am not," said the man, "It was supposed to be me marrying her today, until that pale face showed up and bewitched the chief."
"Thank you for helping us," said Damian.
"Excuse us for one second," said Ryan pulling Damian off to the side, seeing the gleam of understanding in his eye Damian knew that he had figured something out.
"I am positive that this man is meant to marry Serenity. They have to be my direct ancestors, so if we get rid of this pale face things might return to normal and we will be able to go home," said Ryan full of excitement at the thought.
"Great, we have a wedding to crash," said Damian gleefully, "But if it fails we end up in the stew pot," he couldn't help adding.

"Got it." Ryan said. "How do we do this?"
"You wish to help?" The man said. "Thank you."
"Why are you thinking us?" Ryan asked.
"Because." he looked away, his fierce face covered in a blush. "I...I love her."
Ryan tentatively put a hand on his shoulder. Damian gaped at the resemblance that was now evident. "We'll get her back."
With that, they took off.

Walking around the edges of the crowd they moved faster and arrived at the chiefs house where the wedding was to take place before the rest of the wedding party.
"So if you can take us to this pale face, we might be able to get rid of him," said Damian.
"He is in that room over there," said the native pointing to a room at the corner of the hut.
"How are we going to get him out?" asked Damian.
"I think that he is going to get a visit from a ghost," said Ryan as Damian and the native stared at him in wonder trying to imagine what he had in mind.

A few minutes later, the tribal drums were being pounded.
"Hurry!" The man heping Ryan and Damian cried. "It is starting!"
"Almost done," Ryan said. "Before we do this..." he began. "What is your name?"
"Ruan." He said simply. "Now go!"
Just then, Ruan rushed over to where Serenity was on her pedatstel. He reached up and gingerly took her hand to help her down. Their eyes met for an instant.
Even from their hiding spot, Ryan and Damian could see there was something strong between them.
Love.

"Now that is how you should look when you find your love," Ryan said with a grin at Damian.
"Why am I the one who has to dress as the "Ghost of ancestor's past"?" asked Damian still upset with Ryan for making him have mummy wrappings etc. all over him.
"Because I have to help Ruan and I fit in with the other natives just a bit better," Ryan pointed out.
Damian after a few attempts finally screwed up enough courage to peek into the window, he was shocked at what he saw and nearly fell over.
For the white man looked almost exactly like...

"P-P-P-Paul!?"
Ryan also stared in shock.
"It's Paul!" Damian cried. "Or looks kinda like him...his hair's a little....darker?"
"Just GO!" Ryan yelled, shoving him through the port hole.
"Wa-Wa-WAOOH!!!" Damian fell to the floor in a heap.
The natives all turned and gasped at him. Damian sat up and shook his head, trying to remeber his goal.
"Serenity," Ruan whispered, holding out his hand. "Come with me."

LOL Glad you guessed where I was going! Ruan and Serenity ran out while all that the natives could do was stare at Damian in shock. Damian after a moment's hesitation said "I am your ancestor and I have come here to warn you not to trust this pale faced sweet talking singer," he said hoping that these titles applied to this man as well as Paul. Ryan and Damian had both guessed that they were dealing with Paul's descendant, and they both hoped that he was similar enough to Paul that he would react in the same way that he would. "Just a minute," said Paul's lookalike getting upset just as they had hoped, "What do you mean by barging in here like this?"

Damian gulped nervously. "I came here to announce to everybody that you are a liar and a cheater and I can see your future. I can see the future that you have with this man--" he pointed at the Paul look-alike-- "Or without him. And trust me," he muttered spookily, "You do not want to be in his future."
The man's face contorted and he reached forward to tear off the wrappings, while meanwhile, Serenity was facing down Ryan.
"Who are you? Why did you rescue me? I'm glad, yes, but why are you here? You look like my love, but you are not him!" Tears of rage and confusion were streaming down her face.
Ryan raised his hands in protest. "I'll explain later. Right now, I have to see to my friend, Damian." He peeked back at Damian and saw--

The Paul look alike. Giving him a noogie.
"Not fair!" Damian shrieked, trying to pull his head away. "You know I hate those!"
"Oh, do I, Ghost of our Ancestors?" He smirked.
"Uh..."Suddenly Damian flung out his hands like a zombie. "Beware! BEWARE!!!"
"Come on!" Ryan tugged at the woman's hand.
"I go no where without my Ruan!" She pulled back. "I've made that mistake once. I will not make it again. Now where is he!?"
"I'm here, my love."
her blue orbs widened and she ran to him. "Oh, Ruan! I was so-"
He cut her off with a kiss.
"Funny, I feel like I just watched my parents kissing..." Ryan grimaced.
"Not now, love. We must run! Flee! Now!"

"Wait," said Ryan realizing that they would just be caught and killed if they ran, "We need to expose that no good swanky descendant and send him back to where he belongs."
"If only that 'great' grandkid of yours would pop in with one of his black holes," he muttered to Damian.
As if on cue Mick pooped out of nowhere, with a big grin and eyebrows dancing, "You called for black hole room service?" he said cheekily.
"Great timing kid," said Damian who looked as if he was about to faint.

With that, Mick charged at the Paul look alike.
"Yipe!" He yelled as the human torpedo continued. Suddenly a vortex opened behind him. He sidestepped, and in went Mick.
"NO!" Damian screamed.
"And now, I'll take my blushing bri..." he paused. "Where is Serenity?"

Ryan felt Serenity tense beside him. He held out a warning hand. "Sh, don't respond," he warned her. He glanced over at Damian and saw him about to cry. He hoped Mick would be okay, both for Damian's and Mick's sakes.
He was debating with himself what to do when suddenly a woman marched up. In a business suit and sturdy heels. In the jungle. Sharon Browne walked right up to the Paul look alike and yelled, "I want my singers back! Now!"
The man blinked slowly. "Ma'am? You look awfully familiar. But why are you wearing those clothes?"
She glared at him. "No matter! Just give me my singers back!"
He smiled slowly. "Well..."

Sharon: You Swanky look alike don't you dare well me! Just do as I asked or you will have one very angry Irish Blond on your hands! And believe me if my singers where here they could tell you a tale or two about me that would make your blood curl! NOW DO HAS I ASKED AND BRING THEM BACK NOW! OR FACE MY WRATH!
Sharon put her hands on her hips and started to tap in foot and stare the Paul look-alike down! Serenity was in awe of Sharon but Ryan and Damo just looked at each other and knew that if things did not go Sharon's way she would indeed loose her temper sky high! Ryan and Damo stayed in hidding with Serenity waiting for the fireworks to start! Damo was wishing he had his digital Vid Cam with him to capture it all on film!
