AH! INCREDIBLE! I love this! I've read the trilogy three times and I decided to head toward ficdom. Waiwaiwai! FIVE reviews will get the next chapter going, aight?
This starts at the end of the first book, when Jenny becomes betrothed to Julian. What if she HAD stayed with him, past the 6:11am sunrise?

Summer was gone…Tom shackled, gaunt, and defiant. If she wanted to get everyone else home with a heartbeat, she would have to do it…
The walls of the "paper" house closed in on her. Everyone's gaze was in her direction. Amongst them all Julian's oceanic eyes bored into her…Jenny wanted to cry. But she held her head high, and spoke: "I'll do it." The otherworldly orbs flashed something she hadn't seen in their short acquaintance: glee.
He pulled out a ring, and in front of Dee, Zach, Audrey, Michael, and Tom, they did the whole betrothal spiel (A.N., if you've read this, then I don't have to explain it). Jenny felt so…hollow. "Before I go anywhere, send them back home," she demanded, willing him to do it.
"I have your promise, it's no problem at all," he smiled, and flicked a wrist. A silent, pale form was suddenly lying right in front of Zach.
"Sun-bunny…?" Michael asked tentatively. Jenny bent down, and hugged Summer, feeling tears gather behind her eyes.
"Jenny…are the bugs gone, then?" She asked.
"Uh-huh. But you guys need to go back, now," she smiled, and Audrey moved to help support Summer from the other side.
"You're not coming?" the Sun-bunny asked, dreading the answer. Before Jenny could reply, Dee finally exploded.
"The HELL you're going with this son-of-a-bitch icicle! This is so fucking NOT HAPPENING!" She flew in Julian's general direction, foot out in a characteristic kick, but Zach grabbed her en route.
"It's Jenny's choice, Dee," he said wearily.
"That it is," agreed Julian, unable to prevent a smirk. "But if you all are going to leave, I suggest you do it now."
"Please, guys," Jenny added, looking each one in the eye. "I'm sure I'll find a way to get in touch with you," she couldn't look into Tom's eyes.
"All right, Mon Cher," Audrey murmured, linking arms through Tom and Michael. "We're going." She dragged the guys through the portal, and they were gone. Jenny's heart wrenched, but she stood firm as Julian put an arm around her waist.
"C'mon," Zach dragged Dee and pulled Summer through. "See ya, Jen," he called, and disappeared through the mist. She was all alone, in a façade of her grandfather's basement, with Julian.
