Disclaimer: I don't own Fringe, if I did the episode "Do Shapeshifters Dream Of Electric Sheep?" wouldn't end like that…
Something, definitely, was wrong.
While Peter kissed Olivia, he couldn't explain, but something inside his head said 'No. Stop it. It's wrong.'.
But he didn't. He knew what he was doing and it was necessary. Wait, necessary?
They undressed and Peter tensed, but he didn't let Olivia notice that. They lay on the bed, kissing.
And, as he hoped that would happen, Olivia stopped the kiss and almost jumped out of the bed. She was breathing heavily and Peter could only see two things in her face: guilt. Shame.
"I… I can't do this…" She shook her head. "Frank would never forgive me. I would never forgive me. That's not who I am, sorry." She didn't look at Peter, only picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom, closing the door as soon as she was inside.
Peter continued lying on the bed for some time, hoping to understand what happened. He didn't know how to feel between relieved or angry, but one thing was certain: Olivia owed him some explanations.
He took his clothes and started to get dressed. When he finished, he sat on the bed's edge and sighed. "What the hell happened?" He whispered to himself.
Olivia left the bathroom and walked until she was standing in front of Peter. "All right, I'll tell you everything but you have to promise me that you'll listen to me and… Think about it." She said, running a hand through her hair. Peter nodded and she started. "I'm not this world's Olivia. The Secretary over There made me come here on a mission, she is There, in my place." Peter opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, talking more. "There's one way to get her back, but I need you to help me to make it work. Can I say it?" Peter nodded, confused. It was a lot of information, but he still had some questions which he'd ask after she explained her idea to him. "We can pretend that you are going back to There, but now you want to stay and 'help to save our universe'. They'd believe it and we'd be back. You could get her back and come to this world while I could get my life back." She finished.
"How can I trust you?" Peter asked.
Olivia shrugged. "I don't know. You just have to. And it's not like it is easy for me, I have important people There too." She said, sadly. "What is it going to be?"
Peter sighed and looked at her. "You better get ready because we are going to get the 'Olivia's back." She smiled truly at him.
"Thank you."
"I'm not doing this for me or for you. It's all about her."
Peter was in the car with theirs Olivia, she was driving the two to somewhere. "So…" He started, trying to start a talk with her. She smirked when she notice that.
"So, did you call Broyles or Walter?" She asked.
"Both." He nodded. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see, it's right there." She said and parked in the front of a typewriter's shop.
"Here?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. He couldn't see how a typewriter would help them to travel between universes or to contact Walternate.
"Just wait and see." She said and he followed her inside the store. "Seletric. Model 251." She said to the man behind the counter and he nodded, opening the cash register and handing Olivia a key which he took from there.
"Same place. Is your friend going there too?" He asked, nodding towards Peter.
"Yes." Olivia said and she left with Peter right after her to the store's back. "Don't speak," She told Peter, before going into the room. "Just watch." She finished and they went into the room.
Peter was expecting something huge, with some people in it, but was surprised when all that he saw was a typewriter in the center of the room on a desk. Olivia sat on the chair which was behind the desk and started typing.
"PETER BISHOP WANTS TO GO BACK.
SHOULD I TELL HIM THAT I CAN TAKE HIM THERE?"
Olivia typed and he would have laughed, normally. But all his intentions of laughing or smiling were gone when the typewriter started to write, by herself.
"SEND HIM HOME." Was written.
"THERE MAY BE A PORTAL ON A WEAK SPOT WHICH JONES TRIED TO OPEN AROUND A YEAR AGO. TRY IT AND REPORT THE RESULTS IF FAIL. IF SUCCESSFULL, BRING HIM HOME." With that, it stopped writing.
"YES, SIR." Olivia typed and got up. She nodded for Peter to leave and he did, she was right behind him.
She gave the key back to the man and they went back to the car in silence.
"This is the only way?" Peter asked. He knew the answer, but hoped that he was wrong.
"I'm afraid so." Olivia said and looked at him. "Do you know where this 'weak spot' is?"
"Yes." Peter said and they went to where Jones tried to open the portal around a year ago, maybe to never come back.
Please, review! Next week I'm having school tests so I won't update if you don't review… If you don't, I'll just think that no one is reading and only finish it on my mind… Sorry, but it's not worth losing study time for something that you are not sure about. But, if you review... I can update tomorrow. O.O
