"Yeah, yeah, I know." I said as I waited to hear Carly coming out. "It'll be fine." It has to be. And if not, I've got a freakin' team on their way with rope just in case it does go wrong. I don't want to think about how fast Madsen's driving right now.
"It will be. Just don't screw up."
"... Thank you, Arianna."
"Anytime."
"I'll see you when you get here." I hung up my cellphone just in time to hear the door opening.
Carly's getting out the door, trying to catch up to me. Which means we showed up just when she got back the first time. At least I didn't somehow end up in the car when it was moving or something, that would sort of screw things up just a bit.
"Hey."
"Hey."
I smiled when she hugged me, and moved my arms around her, holding onto her tightly since it wasn't exactly like she was holding back. And the weird thing is, I'm almost wondering if any other couple in history has ever actually witness each other's death. That'd be some intersting therapy.
"You're not mad at me?""No, I'm not mad." I'
( ... )
That's different. Did coming back like this somehow change his attitude towards me? Sam was mad a minute ago. Now he isn't. As a matter of fact, his hug is starting to rival mine. I really like that. After everything that happened this week, I needed a good hug from him. A good anything from him, as long as that means Sam's here to give it.
...Now's not the right time to dwell on that. The spell working is good. Life is being good to me, for once. I should be happy and not think about what happened just yet. I'll explain it to Sam as soon as it comes up that something's different, but I don't think I want to get into all of it too much when this 'back to life' scenario is still so new. I should call everyone else and make sure they're all okay before I do much of anything else.
Or, I could wait until they call me. This is Arianna we're talking about who's in charge of the other half of this. Sure she's skeptical, but she's hopeful too. It won't take her too long to check in.
Should I tell her? Maybe it's better not to. I don't know what's going to happen when Madsen and Arianna show up. Madsen will probably let the whole thing spill if I don't somehow tell him not to. And then to try and tell him with Carly here is going to get even more questions.
So should I tell her?
"Sort of."
It's not that big a deal. It's over now, we've stopped fighting, and neither of us is going to be back where we were ever again. Not if I have a say in it. We'll work it out. And we already agreed to stop fighting anyway.
Of course it was brought on by both of us dying at least once... but still.
"It's not that big a deal. It's over now, that's all that matters."
Why don't you confuse me a little more? I didn't know there was a 'sort of' involved in unexpected occurences in relation to time travel. Either something happened, or something didn't happen. Judging by the way Sam is acting, something happened.
I want to know what the something that happened was, but Sam doesn't look too interested in telling me. I'm not just being nosy here. Jake made it pretty clear that we were messing with something dangerous. For all I know, something bad happened that I might be able to fix.
Then again, I think Sam would tell me if he knew something that I didn't and it was important. And whatever it is, I don't want it to ruin this. If my knowing is going to get in the way of us being happy, then maybe I don't have to know as much as I think I do.
"It's not that big a deal. It's over now, that's all that matters."I nodded, reaching over and taking his hand to hold in mine. I'm going to be stunningly clingy for the next few days, and Sam is going to have to be okay with that. Maybe he'll be
( ... )
"But dude, I was already all set for the tying up and stuff."
"Well you're going to have to miss out on that. We're fine, okay?"
"Well that's no fun."
"I'm sorry, I know how much you wanted to do this guns blazing. But it's fine."
I hate to wonder about the obvious, but..
Wanted to do what?Okay, so what Sam's not telling me is something big. Something that had the two of them upset, and yet still hopeful that they'd get to tie us up because we're...suddenly into that? I don't know. I didn't get any answers, so I don't have a clue as to what's really going on here
( ... )
Why did she ask that? They'll do it. They want to look for a chance to use the rope they brought with them. Even though I'm sure Carly could break out of it if it wasn't too heavy, and if I could do it fast enough I could probably burn through without torching myself in the process.
I've never had to actually try that, but still, I'd probably do it if I was pissed enough. I don't really doubt it.
"Sure."
"Yeah, sure."
See?
"I think I should probably talk to Madsen for a minute, anyway."
Talk? Talk as in... kill him? Am I going to have to tell her the reason they brought the rope after all? Christ, it's just rope. She doesn't have to hurt him or anything. "You should what?"
"No violence involved.""... Oh. Alright..." I'm still not sure if I buy it. Carly doesn't just 'talk' to Madsen. Carly yells at Madsen. Then Madsen yells back. Then we have to stop her from killing him once he says the wrong thing, or she lays an insult so
( ... )
Okay, everything's cool. I thought it probably would be, but I was totally looking forward to the tying up thing and being all 'Shut up and think about what you did!' or something like that. No one can tell me that wouldn't have been cool.
I think that's totally what Arianna was looking forward to too. We totally get that more than enough from them, it'd be cool to turn the tables like that. And less like the way when I had to do that talk with Carly the first time around. This way would have totally been more fun. No one would be dead.
"I think I should probably talk to Madsen for a minute, anyway."
... Huh?
"You should what?"
My thoughts exactly, Sammy.
"... Oh. Alright..."Dude, don't leave. I'm pretty sure she's not going to kill me if we came back after her coming back the first time around or... Whatever dude, if I think about it too much, my head's going to hurt. But either way, she never really just talks to me unless it's over something totally serious, and everything's cool now, so there's no serious thing
( ... )
That's right, I'm behaving myself. You don't have to worry about me killing him at the moment, because I'm being good. And I've had enough death over the past week to last me a life time. I don't want anyone to die. I'm just trying to get myself in a good place to make sure that I don't cause anymore trouble with Sam. If I'm going to do that, I have to be fair about the whole 'Madsen' thing. The thing I should have been over years ago.
I feel cold. Not emotionally or anything like that, just windy. Or maybe its dread and Los Angeles at night, but its something. Is hell freezing over? Could that be what...nah, its not that big a deal. Its just one of those nearly impossible things that changed. Like time travel or...

Okay. Glad we can agree on that.
"Did something happen...?"

"Madsen, hang on a sec--"
"You heard the man, don't move!"
"Are you two still fighting?"
"... No."
"Oh. Well... Crap."
"Yeah. It's fine guys, I promise."
"But dude, I was already all set for the tying up and stuff."
"Well you're going to have to miss out on that. We're fine, okay?"

Well, at least she's not pressing it.
"See?"
"Do you guys want to stay for a while?"
Why did she ask that? They'll do it. They want to look for a chance to use the rope they brought with them. Even though I'm sure Carly could break out of it if it wasn't too heavy, and if I could do it fast enough I could probably burn through without torching myself in the process.

No more time travel for a really long time.
