Gwen headed over to the garage. "Kevin? You in here?"
"Yeah." Kevin appeared by the trunk of his car.
"I wanted to see if you were okay." Gwen said.
"I guess…" Kevin said. He looked kind of down. "I just can't believe all this."
"I understand how hard it must be for you." Gwen said, walking over to him. She didn't say anything else because she didn't want to upset him. Instead, she brought up something that'd been bothering her. "What happened up there, anyway? And how did you get off in time?"
"I took out his machine before he could drain the sun's energy." Kevin told her. "After that, I managed to get to an escape pod before the ship exploded."
"What happened to…" Gwen cut herself off. She couldn't even say the name in front of him.
"I already told you, he didn't make it. When I took out that machine, he got pulled out of the ship like a vacuum thing."
"Nice way of describing it." Gwen said. "Anyway, why are you wearing your I.D. mask? It's just us in here."
"In case someone else comes by." Kevin told her. "Sometimes, I wish I could've gotten to know my father better."
"Maybe you still can." Gwen said.
"Huh?"
"While I was searching through my spell books, I found one that allows someone to visit spirits in their dreams." Gwen explained. "I had a feeling that you might want to see your father again."
"Is there some kind of catch?" Kevin asked.
"Well, since you don't have my powers, I'm going to have to go in with you." Gwen said. "And since it's a spell that leads to a dream world, we're going to have to go to sleep together." She blushed as soon as she said that.
"So, what exactly will we have to do?" Kevin asked.
"We have to be holding hands so that we both go in." Gwen said. "All we need is a place where we can both fall asleep without letting our parents know."
"How about the library?" Kevin suggested.
"I do get lost in those books to the point where I collapse." Gwen said. "So, I'll meet you there?"
"Sure." Kevin said. Gwen left for home so she could prepare for the spell. It would take a lot of magic to work.
