[Ben 10 fic]Conversation

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

This is a sequel to An Unexpected outing and is basically the conversation Ben and Gwen have when she arrives at his house.

Conversation

“So I guess I should explain,” Ben said sitting down backwards at his desk chair. He crossed his arms over the back of the chair and gave her his best don’t be mad at me look. She could tell he was forcing himself to act completely at ease.

“Yes you should,” she said a bit harsher than she meant to. She saw him flinch a bit and she felt slightly guilty. She was furious with him for not telling her any of this she told him nearly everything and now he’d kept something like this a secret. “Were you doing this behind Julie’s back?”

“No, why does everyone keep asking that,” Ben said darkly. “Why does everyone seem to think I’d use Julie like that?” She guessed her aunt or uncle must have asked the same thing judging by Ben’s tone. “Julie and I broke up a few weeks before Pierce and I got together.”

“Why were you hiding it then?” She asked the question that really bothered her. “You me and Kevin are together constantly and I tell you pretty much everything.” She had to admit that wasn’t quiet true anymore in the weeks since he’d broken up with Julie Ben had been spending less time with them. “How did you and Pierce even end up together?”

“With you constantly hinting I should work things out with Julie and Kevin asking for more alone time with you,” Ben said shocking her a bit. “I decided to hang around with Grandpa and the plumbers a bit more; see how they’d improved after graduating.” Ben shrugged a bit. “Pierce and I hit it off and since we were both interested we decided to give it a go.”

“That doesn’t explain why you didn’t tell me you were discovering your liked guys,” She said wondering how she hadn’t noticed Ben going through something like that. She had realized long ago that Ben was a terrific actor able to play the part of the annoying brat to perfection but this really surprised her.

“I already knew I liked guys as well as girls but it wasn’t an issue when I was with Julie,” He said shrugging his shoulders again. “I just figured there was no need to bring it up unless things didn’t work out with Julie.” He gave her a weak smile. “Plus I figured it would make things weird with you and Kevin.” His smile got a bit bigger. “I knew you’d be okay about it but insist on talking about it and Kevin would get all wierded out.”

She could see that she supposed but she still wished Ben had told her. “So how did you parents take it?” She wanted to ask him more about why he didn’t tell her but she needed time to figure out how to ask.

“They took it well until after Pierce left and they asked me how far we’d gone,” he said and she felt herself blush at the thought. “I might have gotten a bit out of line when I refused to answer because they’d never asked me about Julie.” He looked down at the floor. “Mom pointed out she’d never caught me and Julie making out on my bed.” He spun around in the chair he was sitting on. “So now I’m grounded for two weeks, so except for emergencies I’m stuck here.”

“How far have you gone?” She asked without thinking and was a bit shocked at the glare she got in response. She was about to dismiss the question but then she saw a familiar smirk replace the glare.

“Tell me how far have you and Kevin gone first,” he said and she quickly objected to telling him that. “Why, if my sex life is going to be open for discussion than so is yours?” She acknowledged his point tried to find another subject.

“When are you going to tell Grandpa Max?” She asked and then when she saw his face. “He already knows doesn’t he?” He nodded. “Did you tell him or did he figure it out like he always does.”

“What do you think?” She guessed that meant he figured it out on his own. That wasn’t surprising if anyone knew Ben better than her it was Grandpa Max and he was around Pierce a lot so he probably caught on quickly. She hated how hard it was to talk to Ben all of a sudden he obviously did too because he blurted out a question, “Will you tell Kevin for me?”

“You can’t be serious Ben,” She said shocked. “This is something you have to tell him not me.” There was no way she was letting Ben stick her with that job. She could tell he was going to ask again so she put her foot down. “No Ben, you tell him.”

“All right,” Ben said and to her shock he pulled out his phone and made a call. She was staring in shock as he held the phone up to his ear and said, “Kevin, this is Ben just letting you know I’m dating Pierce if you have any questions just talk to Gwen about it; I’m grounded.”

“I can’t believe you just did that,” She said in shock. “Why on Earth would you tell him over the phone?” She stopped when Ben just smirked. “You tricked me; you didn’t really do it?” She felt like strangling him as he smiled.

“No, I did it,” He said as her phone began to ring. “I told him just like I told you over the phone it seemed appropriate.” He was smiling again. “Plus this way you have to talk to him about it instead of me.”

She answered the phone and Kevin didn’t even let her get a hello out. “Please tell me Ben was kidding,” Kevin said sounding stressed out. Ben made the situation worse by stating loud enough for Kevin to hear that he wasn’t kidding. “So it’s true then,” She confirmed it still glaring at Ben. “Look Gwen I need to go.”


“He hung up on me,” She said glaring at Ben who began to spin in his chair again. “I can’t believe you did that to me.” She stood up and headed toward the door. “I’m going to find Kevin and make him come talk to you about this.”

“Good luck with that,” Ben said sounding slightly down. “I wish I didn’t have to put you in the middle like this.” He didn’t sound very sincere about that but she resolved to just let it go.

“This isn’t over Ben.” She assured him as she turned and left his room. She would track down Kevin and do what she could to smooth this whole thing over. She couldn’t believe Ben was stupid enough to tell Kevin that way.

The End.

[Ben 10 fic] Issues

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

Notes: This is the third ficlet in my outing verse. It follows An Unexpected Outing and Conversation.

Issues

“We need to talk about your issues with Ben,” She said angrily as she finally cornered her boyfriend. She had finally had to resort to tracking him by his mana to get him alone since he’d been doing everything in his power to avoid her.

“I don’t have any issues with Ben,” Kevin said slightly louder than necessary. “I just have a lot of business to take care of.” She didn’t buy that for a second and even he didn’t look like he bought it. “Look Gwen, I don’t have any issues with Ben just drop it.”

“No, I’m not dropping it,” She said letting her annoyance show. “It sucks that Ben told you that way but you need to stop sulking and go talk to Ben about this.” She searched for something to say. “You don’t want him to think you disapprove do you?”

“I don’t disapprove,” He said shaking his head. “Ben can do whatever he wants but I just don’t see any reason to talk about it.” He looked down for a second and then back up at her. “Besides I’m sick of talking about Ben’s relationship issues.” She was surprised that he was actually starting to glare at her. “For the past two months you’ve been talking way too much about his break up with Julie and now this, I don’t care who your cousin is or isn’t dating and you shouldn’t either.”

She was taken back by how angry he seemed. “He’s my cousin I care about what’s going on his life.” She couldn’t help but add, “And since he’s your friend I thought you would care too?” She didn’t understand why he was being so difficult about this.

He looked for a moment like he was going to deny being Ben’s friend like he usually would but seemed to change his mind. “I am Ben’s friend that’s why I don’t care who he dates it’s entirely up to him your pulling the same crap you pulled during the Eunice thing.” He sounded really annoyed. “Just let him live his life, we don’t all have to talk about every major event in his life since this really doesn’t concern us.” He sat himself down on the curb and looked over at her waiting for a response.

She really didn’t know what to say so she went with the first thing that came to her. “If that’s the case why’d you freak out over the phone and hang up.” She didn’t think she was too concerned with Ben’s life. They’d simply been close ever since they were kids.

“I was surprised and I knew how much you’d want to talk about feelings and crap,” He said actually sounding tired. “Look Gwen can we finish this argument another time I’ve got stuff to do.”


She wanted to keep talking to find out why all of a sudden he seemed so tired of things but she knew it wouldn’t be smart. She knew she could only push Kevin so far before he got defensive and snapped back. “All right,” She said and then, “I’ll see you later I think I’m going to go think for a while.” She wondered how Julie was going to feel once she found out. She knew Julie still had some feelings for Ben that’s why she’d been pushing him so hard to get back together with her. She knew she needed to convince Ben to tell her since it would be better if Julie found out from Ben instead of letting it hit the news.

[Ben 10 fic]Depature

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

Notes: This very short ficlet is the start of a second series of one shots. Not connected to my outingverse. It is set vaguely in the future just after a major and costly battle. This basically serves as the set up piece for the rest of the verse.

Departure:

“Are you sure you have to go,” Ben asked her after she finished saying good bye to her parents and the rest of her family. “Can’t Grandma fix your body so you can stay on Earth?” He was really taking it hard that she’d had to go full Anodite to stop Adwaita’s attack on Earth in revenge for his loss of the Alpha ruin.

“I asked but she says it’s impossible and I have to go with her now or I might lose control of all this power.” She wasn’t completely sure her grandmother was being honest but she could feel how much power she had now. She had to learn to control it no matter what. “She did say I could visit every once in a while once I learn to control it better.” She could feel her grandmother calling to her through the mana field to hurry things along. “I wish Kevin had come.” She knew he was angry, confused and upset about her leaving but she would have liked to say goodbye. “Give this to him for me, please, Ben,” she said handing over the letter.

“I will,” He assured her. She turned back toward her parents and said a final goodbye to them. Once she was done, she focused on Anodyne just like Grandma had told her and she felt herself lifting off.

“Trust me Gwen once you see your new home you’ll forget all about this place,” Verdona said cheerfully. She was too depressed to argue with her grandmother about things. “Now just take my hand and I’ll guide you.”

She reached out and grasped her Grandmother’s hand and the sensation of traveling across the galaxy was like nothing she’d ever experienced before. Maybe this won’t be so bad she thought as they arrived on a planet that sang with mana.

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

Notes: This is a follow up to Departure.

Not Friends

“What do you want?” He asked annoyed that Ben had interrupted him working on his car. He looked up to see a dangerous look in Ben’s eye. “Is there a point to glaring at me like that?” He wasn’t in the mood to deal with Ben right now.

“Why didn’t you show up to say goodbye to Gwen,” Ben said angrily. “She might not be back for months and you’re here working on your car instead of seeing her off.” He wasn’t about to explain himself to Ben of all people. “She asked me to give you this.”

He took the letter Ben held out and tossed it on his car seat. “You can go now,” He said turning back to work on his car. He didn’t have to worry about his car leaving him to run off and learn magic.

“What’s wrong with you Kevin,” Ben said after a moment. “I’m your friend talk to me.” He laughed at that causing Ben to turn an interesting shade of red. “What’s so funny?” Ben was pissed and he could use this.

“The idea that you and I are friends,” He said enjoying Ben’s flinch. “We hung out cause of Gwen, now that she’s gone don’t expect to see me around anymore.” He could tell Ben was hurt by his statement but it was for the best. “So just get out of here before I kick your ass.”

He saw Ben’s eyes narrow and his hand twitch toward the ultimatrix. “Fine,” Ben said before turning and leaving. He hadn’t expected it to be that easy to get rid of Ben. He realized it wasn’t when Ben stormed back in and grabbed his shoulder. “What the hell is wrong with you is it because it’s my fault Gwen had to go full anodyte?”

That wasn’t true but it would work. “Yes, now go away.” He saw Ben flinch and this time when Ben left he knew it was for good. He felt an unusual pang of guilt but it was for the best. He went back to work on his car determined to do what was best.

[Ben 10 fic]Secret Desires revealed

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

Notes: This has no relation to either the outingverse or the Depatureverse. It is actually the beginning of a fourth universe of Ben 10 fics. This is the Secret Desires verse.

Contains: Gwen/Kevin together, Mention of fantasies of Kevin/Ben, and Kevin/Ben/Gwen

Secret Desires Revealed

“Where am I?” She asked looking around the strangely empty expanse of nothingness. “Hello, is anyone there,” she called as she walked along in the seeming emptiness. She closed her eyes and tried to sense where she was but all she could feel was Kevin all around her. “Kevin are you there?”

“He can’t hear you cousin,” Sunny said surprising her. “I have to admit when I decided to pull this stunt for revenge I had no idea all the interesting things I’d find in his head.” She was staring at Sunny in shock. “Don’t look so shocked you sicced grandma Verdona on me, got me put in parental lock down and kept me from my Antonio.” Sunny smiled darkly. “You ruined my relationship so I’m here to ruin yours.”

“It isn’t my fault that your boyfriend dumped you,” She said angrily guessing that was the real problem. “Tell me what’s going on right now or I’ll call Grandma Verdona again.” She didn’t want to let Sunny know that she couldn’t sense anything beyond Kevin’s mana.

“Kind of hard to do when you’re trapped in your boyfriend’s head with me,” Sunny said cheerfully. “Relax you should thank me you’ll get to know more about your boyfriend than he knows about himself.” She smiled, “I mean the things buried in his head are something you just gotta see.” Sunny looked even more demented as she said, “I mean look here it’s his worst fear.” Sunny walked over to a door that appeared out of no where and opened it. “I think they might actually be an improvement.”

She stared into the door as images of Kevin’s in the monster transformations he’d been trapped in spun around. “Stop this Sunny,” she said quickly. “If this is Kevin’s head we have no right to be here.”

“Oh please, you act like he’s some good guy I’m mistreating.” Sunny pointed to a tv screen that began to show images of Kevin making deals with people. “I can’t believe my parents objected to my sweet Antonio but your parents are all right with you dating a war profiteer.” She found herself staring at images from that planet having that stupid civil war appeared showing Kevin selling weapons to both sides with Argit. “This was going to be my big finish showing it to you and your folks so they’d make you dump him.” She smiled darkly. “Or maybe the Plumbers so he could take another trip to the Null void.”

“When I get my hands on you, Sunny you will regret this,” She said angrily. She wasn’t sure what to make of Sunny’s allegations she wasn’t sure any of this was real but she was going to find out. “So what are you going to do now?”


“I found something better,” Sunny said cheerfully. “I couldn’t believe it when I found it.” She grabbed her and there was a rush of movement and a huge stone pyramid was in front of them. “This is your boyfriend’s most secret desire the thing he tries never to think about.” She pointed at the stone walls. “That Pyramid is grade A denial and you won’t believe what’s inside it.” Sunny blasted the pyramid to shreds and an image began to form inside it. “Take a look , Gwen your boyfriend has a big gay crush on our boring cousin Ben.”

She stared at the image which clearly showed Kevin making out with Ben. “I never would have figured but then again the macho bad boy types sometimes surprise you.” Sunny said laughing at the image. “There are all kind of fantasies buried down there even one or two where you join in with them.”

She glared at Sunny. “You need to stop this, quit making things up to screw with my head and let me wake up.” She might suspect Kevin had thrown in with Argit on war profiteering but Kevin being attracted to Ben was completely unbelievable.

“So you don’t believe me let’s ask Kevin himself,” Sunny said. “But first so you don’t ruin the surprise.” She was suddenly incased in a bubble of Mana. “He won’t be able to see or here you.” She then reached down to the ground and pulled Kevin up out of the darkness. “Hi there Muscles I was just in the neighborhood and decided to rifle through your most personal thoughts and fantasies.”

“What are you talking about?” Kevin asked and Sunny pointed toward the images of him and Ben. “I don’t know what that sick image you made is supposed to be but I don’t think things like that.” Kevin said and she felt like cheering. “Why don’t you just go away Sunny,” He said turning away.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to show Gwen and Ben this then,” Sunny said cheerfully. “And maybe fill the plumbers in about what you sold to buy Gwen’s birthday present.” She watched as Kevin turned back toward Sunny with real fear in his eyes. “After all what’s the penalty for selling one of those to pirates,” she smiled. “Oh yes ten years in the null void, quiet a risk to take for a girl who’d dump you if she found out you wanted into Ben’s pants.” Sunny then grabbed a shining necklace from mid air. “It is a lovely necklace, tell you what Kevin bring that to outside Gwen’s house as soon as you wake up and I won’t tell anyone outside your head about what you want deep down.”

“All right fine but if Ben or Gwen ever find out about any of this,” Kevin threatened and she found herself staring at Kevin in disbelief. She saw Sunny smile and wave her hand and Kevin vanished in a flash of light.

“We don’t have much time Gwen he’s awake now and getting ready to head toward your house, so I’ve got a deal for you,” Sunny said smiling. “When he wakes up so will you, and you might be tempted to call Grandma and tattle on me again.” Sunny glared. “Do that and Kevin will be getting a one way ticket to the null void, but if you just sit back and watch him hand over that necklace to me you’ll never see me again.”


“How can I trust you?” She asked wanting more than anything at this moment to be powerful enough to put Sunny in her place. “How do I know you won’t sell Kevin out the moment you get away with that necklace.”

“Because I won’t need to stupid,” Sunny said with a smile. “I can sell that necklace for enough cash to live on my own and then no one can stop me and Antonio from getting back together.” She couldn’t believe this was all some scheme to get back together with her stupid boyfriend. “So do we have a deal Gwen,” She said darkly.

“We have a deal,” She said darkly .”But if this all turns out to be some trick your playing you’ll be the one running to Verdona for protection.” She meant it she would find Sunny and make her pay for putting her through this.

“You’ll see,” Sunny said laughing and then suddenly she sat up in bed awake. She looked around the room wondering if it was all a dream. She heard a car and froze for a moment but then made herself walk over to the window to stare out. She saw Sunny standing there with a big smile on her face as Kevin walked toward her and shoved the same necklace toward her. “Thank you Kevin, true to my word I won’t tell anyone who wasn’t in your head with us.” She felt sick when she realized what Sunny was going to do but she couldn’t make herself move to stop her. “I should tell you Gwen was there with us so she saw the whole thing.” Sunny then pointed toward her room “See she’s watching us right now.”

Kevin looked up horrified and then turned and ran back toward his car. Seeing how stricken he looked allowed her to over come her stiffness and she threw open the window and jumped out. She ran down blocks of mana but was too late as Kevin’s car sped off. “Why did you do that to him,” she said turning on Sunny angrily. “You didn’t have to let him know I knew.”

“Yes I did,” Sunny said. “I didn’t just come for fancy jewelry I wanted revenge and now I’ve got it.” After saying that Sunny took off into the air vanishing. “Maybe I’ll see you around on Anodyne when you finally stop thinking your too good to be an anodite.”

She watched her go torn between going after her or going after Kevin. “Gwen what are you doing out side in the middle of the night,” Her mother called from the door. She had no idea what had woken her up. “Are you alright?” Her mother asked staring at her.

“No mom, I’m not.” She said honestly not sure how to handle what she’d learned about Kevin. She didn’t know what to make of it. “Sunny paid a visit.” She said and saw her mom gasp. “She wanted to ruin my relationship with Kevin and I think she did.”

“Come inside and we’ll talk,” Her mother said concern clear in her voice. “I’ll have your father contact her parents about this.” She quickly shook her head no and made her mother promise not to tell her dad. “Why not?” She didn’t have a good answer but she had no doubt Sunny would act on her threat to turn Kevin over to the authorities.”

[Ben 10 fic]Ultimatum

Disclaimer: The world and characters Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien all belong to Cartoon network. Just borrowing them for my own and possible the amusement of other fans.

Notes: This is the second part of my secret Desires verse and picks up shortly after the last one left off.

Ultimatum

It had taken her two days to track down Kevin. She knew she could have found him faster if she’d really wanted to but she hadn’t really tried as hard as she could. She had taken quite a bit of time to think about what she’d seen and Sunny’s thread. “I was wondering how long it would take you to find me,” Kevin said from where he was sitting on a rock watching the waves lap at the beach. “I knew you were really pissed about the Ben thing when you didn’t find me immediately.”

“I’m not angry about that,” She said honestly. “I’m a bit surprised that you’re attracted to Ben but it isn’t really that big of a deal.” She had taken time to think about. “There are plenty of people I’m attracted to that I have no plans to ever tell them or anyone else about.”

“I’m not attracted to Ben,” He said looking extremely freaked out. “I’m pretty sure it’s just left over crap from absorbing the Omnitrix and it’ll go away in time.” She could hear the denial in his voice and how much he wanted to believe that. “And if you aren’t pissed why’d you take so long to find me.”

“I didn’t say I wasn’t angry, I just said I’m not angry about that.” She was careful not to bring up what that was. She needed Kevin to listen to her and he wouldn’t if he was in denial mode. “She showed me a lot more than just that in your head such as what you did on Probity’s world with Argit.” She saw his eyes widen in confusion. “Kevin, you were selling weapons to both sides and profiting from her people killing each other over a stupid feud.” When the shock of Kevin being attracted to Ben had worn off the true horror of what he’d done had hit her. “Sunny, was threatening to turn that information over the plumbers and send you back to the null void.”

“Mind probes and scans aren’t admissible in court,” Kevin said quickly. “And those people were so stupid someone was going to make moneys selling them weapons so why not me?” She couldn’t help but glare at him in response.

“I didn’t know mind scans were illegal until I asked grandpa about it,” She said letting her anger really show. “And you should have stopped it because it was the right thing to do, the fact you didn’t and happily joined in with Argit makes me wonder how many other people you’ve hurt through your side deals that Ben and I have been ignoring.” She was still angry. “Argit at least has the excuse of being an amoral little worm but you don’t Kevin you know right from wrong as long as your not hopped up on energy.”

“Like you and Ben have never profited from my deals,” He said darkly. “You never seem to care when a piece of tech I’ve bought or traded for saves our butts.” She knew he was right which just made the entire thing worse.

“Yes, we have and that’s why Ben and I have looked the other way so often but no more Kevin.” She saw him flinch. “I can’t just sit back now that I’ve seen what kind of deals you actually make.” She looked down as she said the last part. “If you want to stay in me and Ben’s lives then you need to stop trying to work both sides of the law.”

“You know what screw you Gwen,” Kevin said getting up and walking away. “I don’t have to put up with this if you don’t want me around then I won’t be around.” She watched him walk to his car and drive off even as part of her wanted to go after him. She was still too angry and hurt to go after him though so she just turned and headed back toward home.

[Highlander Fic]Goodbye and Good Luck

Disclaimer: The various incarnations of the Highlander universe belong to Panzer/Davis and anyone I’m forgetting to mention. I am just borrowing them for my own and hopefully the enjoyment of other fans. Please don’t sue.

Note: This is part of a fic that is set in the world of Highlander the series. It takes place in the year 2000 in a world where Endgame and it’s horrible sequel never happened. So basically nothing after The Raven will matter to this fic. The Dynamite comics are also not going to feature in this universe despite supposedly taking place in the TV series universe.

This is one of several fics dealing with different aspects of a major series of events in this fic’s universe.

Goodbye and good luck

The phone’s incessant ringing woke him up from a deep sleep. He grabbed it haphazardly and winced as his eyes settled on the time. “It is four a.m. this better be important,” he managed to growl out even as he felt Michelle shifting against him.

“Is Michelle there,” Amanda said concern clear in her voice. “I woke up to make an international phone call and she isn’t in the guest room.” He wasn’t in the mood to be understanding so he shook Michelle awake and handed the phone to her.

“Amanda calm down I’m fine,” He heard her say as he dropped his head back down onto the pillow. He knew Amanda and the others still weren’t sure it was really him but calling him in the middle of the night was just stupid. If he’d meant her any harm Michelle would have been dead a dozen times over this week as often as they’d been alone. “Yes, Amanda I slept with him and it isn’t the first time,” Michelle said clearly annoyed. “Yes everything is exactly the same size and shape as I remember it.”

He found himself smirking with suppressed laughter at the thought of Amanda actually going there. He knew it would occur to a lot of folks but only Amanda would have the nerve to ask over the phone in the middle of the night. He took the phone from Michelle causing her to raise her eyebrow. “Look Amanda it’s late you can question her about my body and the sex we had when you take her to the airport later this morning.” He hung up the phone knowing Amanda would be pissed at him but he just wanted a few hours more of good sleep.

“You know I could stay on here until everything is resolved,” Michelle said speaking up. “I mean it isn’t like I have that great a life to get back too another week or two off here in Paris won’t hurt.”

“It might,” He said quickly. “Things are going to get messy when Duncan shows up.” He saw her frown. “It would be best if you are as far away from here as possible.” He could tell she was about to object so he quickly added. “It’ll only make things more complicated Duncan isn’t going to listen to anyone else the only person who can convince him I’m me is me.”

“I guess that’s true, he is really stubborn,” Michelle said and he was relieved. “You know though if I leave you probably won’t get another chance at sleeping with me.” She said in a teasing voice. “At my University there’s this guy who’s been asking me out constantly and I’ll probably say yes once I get back.”

“We both knew this would be temporary,” He said seeing her eyes widen in shock a bit. “Just like last time it was a lot of fun but I doubt we are cut out for the Duncan and Amanda route.” He couldn’t see himself having an on again off again relationship lasting centuries if he even lived that long.

“I think it is kind of romantic,” Michelle admitted. “But your right that I can’t see us doing it.” That seemed to be all that needed to be said and soon he drifted back off to sleep. He woke up some time later to see Michelle fully dressed. “I’ll let myself out I need to get back to Amanda’s to grab my stuff before I leave good luck with Duncan.”

“Goodbye and good luck to you too,” He said as she headed to the door. “Be sure to keep your head.” He considered going back to sleep as the door closed behind her but he instead he got up and headed toward the shower. He had things he needed to do to get ready for the inevitable confrontation with Cassandra.
