London, England
Darcy is back from her last class of the summer, finally finished at imperial college in London for engineering. I can't believe school is over", says Darcy. "I'm so over college and I finally have my own degree to hang alongside Jane's, I mean not as much as hers but hey I got to start somewhere right?" As she walks into the apartment she sees Erik sitting at the breakfast table eating her chips. "Hey Darcy, have you heard anything from Jane she has been gone for three months already, I don't know if I'm supposed to be worried or happy" says Erik. "You worry way to much Erik, she and Thor are probably making little Thor & Jane babies all over the palace" laughs Darcy as she grabs the chips out of Erik's hand and sits on the breakfast table. "so how was your day Darcy says Erik" it was cool, you no just last minute things i had to do at school you no, nothing to big" what did you do all day Erik, sit in your underwear and watch TV and eat my chips all day long says Darcy as she puts the rest of chips in the cupboards. "Of course I did" says Erik. Now I'm going to go in the lab and pretend to do some work but really, I'm going to mix some stuff together and try not to blow up the apartment says Erik. Well good luck with that says Darcy as she makes her way up the steps to her bedroom. I'm going to go take a long nap well into tomorrow, goodnight. "Night!" Erik yells, from the lab.
As Darcy enters the room she can't believe that she's finally finished with college after all this time. After everything that happened in New York two years ago everything was put on pause. Helping Erik deal with his depression and just crazy Erik problems and helping Jane get over her depression with Thor leaving and then Thor coming back and whisking her off to Asgard every second she really didn't have much time for herself, in-between basically being the mother for both of them, but that's what friends do. "ugh! I really have to clean this room, I can't believe there's all this junk on the floor" says Darcy as she stripes off all her clothes an pulls on her black Bruce spring stein T-shirt and finally gets into bed. As she lays there she has dreams of what Asgard looks like and if it's all that Jane says it is.
Darcy opens her groggy eyes and groans at the sight of the sun beaming through her curtains, she holds her vintage alarm clock to her face saying 2pm. I can't believe I slept that long, but hell, I deserved it" says Darcy. Darcy rolls all over the bed feeling the comfort of her own sheets and the softness of her mattress and finally snoozing for another 30 minutes. After finally feeling like she can't sleep anymore Darcy sits up on her bed and opens her eyes. As she looks around her room, it looks spotless which only can mean one thing… Jane is back. Jane is like the big sister that Darcy has ever had, after her parents died and being an only child, Jane and Erik are her family now, she leans on Jane for many things and Jane returns the favor as well. As Jane begins to progress with Thor, Darcy couldn't be happier that Jane is finally happy again and that Thor is actually back, so it's going to be like old times again.
Darcy pulls her sky blue boxers on and bolts down the steps taking them two by two and slams right into Thor's back. "Hey big guy" says Darcy as she slaps him on the back. Thor lifts Darcy up into a painful hug. As Darcy tries to breath she says "you have really got to learn to be gentler big guy." Thor laughs his loud usual laugh that makes everyone in the room laugh as well. "Where's Jane?" says Darcy. Oh she's in the lab with Erik Thor says" Darcy runs into the lab and spots Jane right away in her pale pink, floor length one shoulder as asguardian gown. "Well Well look what the cat dug up" says Darcy. Jane then come's running toward Darcy lifting her up with a huge hug. Darcy says well it's nice to see your alive and well too Jane. Jane then laughs saying" oh how I missed your sarcastic sassy self, how are you, and congrats on finishing school I have two surprises for you that I know you will love, come upstairs with me. "Oh I can't wait to hear this I'm quivering with excitement" says Darcy.
Jane sits on Darcy's bed full of excitement and nervousness. Darcy says "will spill the juice already come on don't make me wait" "okay okay" says Jane. "Well….." says Jane. I swear I'm going to hurt you Jane, what is up with you, tell me this instant" says Darcy. And Jane blurts out "Thor proposed to me, and I said yes, and were getting married in 3 days in Asgard?!" "O" says Darcy. "O is all you have to say" says Jane. Well I mean this is a shock I mean I thought you were going to tell me your pregnant or something not getting married, I can't believe this right now I'm so happy for you Jane finally you're getting you happily ever after, just to think 6 months ago I was pulling you out of your depression slump and now you're getting married…and in ASGARD OH MY GOSH I'm so proud of you janieeeeee" says Darcy. Jane jumps up from the bed and gives Darcy a huge bear hug. "I'm so happy that your happy for me I've miss you beyond relief Darcy" says Jane. Me too says Darcy as she buries her head into Jane's shoulder trying not to cry for the thought of losing her best friend, her only friend, her only family. "So let's get you packed" says Jane. "Packed! Where am I going" says Darcy. 'Well you are my maid of honor so you have to be present at the ceremony Darcy." says Jane. "Wait I'm going to Asgard. Really IM GOING!" says Darcy. "Yes of course you're coming" says Jane. "But I thought the king was very strict on the no midguardians in Asgard rule" says Darcy. "Well Thor spoke with him, and seeing that you and Erik are the only family that i have he has allowed both of you to stay 2 weeks in Asgard, so think of it as a vacation, even thou Erik isn't coming" says Jane. "Why isn't Erik coming" says Darcy. " he is still uncomfortable about loki, even though Thor has assured him that loki is under lock and key in the dungeon and there is no way he can escape Erik still doesn't want to risk it" says Jane. "I understand" says Darcy, he has come such a long way after everything that has happened and I would hate to see him so depressed and crazed again. "Yea, me too" says Jane. "So what do asguardians wear" says Darcy. "exactly what I'm wearing, they wear lots of dresses but don't worry about that I've had a whole closet designed for you, because if it was up to you to pack I no all you would pack are jeans and riding boots." says Jane. Darcy laughs and says "O you know me too too well Jane, but I'm going to pack the necessities and such and then I'll be back downstairs in twenty minutes." "Hurry up" says Jane Heimdall opens the bifrost at 6pm sharp. "Okay okay" says Darcy as she jumps in the shower.
Darcy takes a quick ten minutes shower. As she returns to her room she packs her duffle bag with undergarments and such, her makeup bag, two heels and two pairs of flats. As Darcy zips her duffle bag she begins to figure out what to do with her luscious long hair. Over the past two years it has grown down the middle of her back only a few inches from her butt. She decides to give it a few quick curls. She turns an looks at the clock and realizes it is now 5pm, she rushes and puts on her white button down and a pair of black jeggings and her riding boots. She puts on her contacts and puts her glasses in her book bag along with her camera and journals. She runs across the hall to the bathroom with her makeup bag and attempts to put on some mascara almost poking herself in the eye.. twice!, and finally gives up and adds some lip gloss. She stares at herself in the mirror wondering how she can compare to these asguardian woman. I have big brown eyes with small bags underneath from wearing glasses for many years, with too long eyelashes, a nose that is too small and lips that are slightly too full an are as red as cherries, breasts that cause too much unwanted attention, arms that are too skinny and small hips, I swear I'm just hopeless, will I ever find the one. She grabs her bags and heads down the steps yelling "is everyone ready."
She gives Erik and long hug. I will take lots of pictures, don't worry it will be like you are right there with us, well until the camera dies." Erik laughs saying "I no that you will keep an eye on Jane for me so I'm not worried at all, you try not to drink too much and be careful' Erik gives Jane and Thor both hugs and they leave the apartment heading for the parking lot. As they stand there Thor yells to the sky "Heimdall open the bifrost." Not only a second later there's a bright light coming down from the sky touching the ground. Jane grabs my hand and says "hold on to me" and I do so with much terror in my veins.
All I can see is rainbow colors. No sky just bight vibrant colors. The reds are overlapping the blues, the greens are mixed in between the yellow, and I have never seen anything more beautiful. I look beyond the colors I can see all the planets just zipping past and the other realms and each of them looking completely different. As I look over to Jane and Thor they are so relaxed, while Thor has my book bag slinked over his shoulder and in the same arm holds my duffle bag, it sure looks weird on him. I can feel the bifrost slowing down and then it stops. I feel like my eyes are burning trying to adjust to this new light, as I blink my eyes for what seem for a minute way to long it adjust to a gold colored room. It was quite fancy with a gold clock and a gold circle around it with a huge guy standing in-front with a gold warrior uniform on complete with gold horns on his forehead and gold armor on his arms. He says "welcome to Asgard Darcy I am Heimdall guardian of Asgard. "Hello" says Darcy. Wow I can believe how tall he is and all that armor, I'm starting to wonder if that's an everyday dress code around here. Jane and Thor direct me to walk with them. I say my goodbyes to Heimdall and follow suit. As we walk on what feels like a marble floor but looks like a mirrored gold glass I can now see the city of Asgard. All of the gold utopia and right in front of us in the palace. It's huge, all gold and it looks like something out of a movie. At the palace gates I am greeting by a blonde woman who is gorgeous. Her skin is flawless and her hair is swept up into lovely braids. She is effortlessly wearing a teal dress with hints of gold around her waist and gold armor on her arms and wrist with a sliver cape that is attached to her dress and flows beautifully behind her. She greets Thor and Jane with a kiss and turns to me and says "Hello Darcy I am Frigga, Queen of Asgard I am so happy to finally meet you". "Hello queen frigga, I am Darcy of 998 oxford street London, England."
