Max sighed, and laid down in her bed, just thinking. She had kissed Rachel Amber. And it felt amazing. Maybe Chloe's grave hadn't been the best place to make out with her, but she didn't feel any regret. She had finally found love in the months Chloe had been gone. It was past midnight, but the two were still texting.

"Hey, I should be going to bed. I'm getting tired."

"Okay babe. Love you Max."

"You too."

She put her phone down, and passed out. Or, at least it felt like she passed out. Instead…

"Fuck. Not this again."

She was in a vision. It was dark, cold. She felt helpless, blind.

"Where's Rachel?"

That was her first priority, find her lover. She made her way through the darkness, trying to at least feel where she was. It was a forest of sorts. But… She wasn't near the lighthouse. She was sure of that. She stumbled, but managed to catch herself. She felt a force nearby, and felt as if it wanted to follow her. She would follow it, and reached a beach. The beach. Her vision cleared, and she looked out into the stormy gale. Her first thought was a tornado, but she realized there was much worse on the horizon. For a stormy night (or day?), the waves were far out. She realized what it was.

"Tsunami…"

She jolted awake. 5:59 AM. Her alarm went off a few moments later and she quickly shut it off. She was freaking out.

"I need to tell Rachel."

She called the girl up. Rachel answered a few moments later.

"Hey babe, you wanna head out today?"

"Maybe later. Come to my dorm. Now."

"Is something wrong?"

"No. I don't think so at least. I just need to talk to you. In person."

"What about?"

"It's super important. Like I need to show you important."

"Okay, I'm headed over. Give me a few minutes."

Rachel would come in a few minutes later, wearing a T-Shirt with a skull on it and black short shorts

"Sexy."

Rachel smiled a little.

"I try. Now what is there that you need to show me?"

"Well I need to talk to you first."

"About what exactly babe? You can talk to me about anything you know."

Max drew in a breath, and sighed

"Chloe's dead because of me."

"No Max. She isn't, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. I kept blaming myself and look where it got me. The god damn hospital."

"Rachel, Chaos Theory. Have you heard of it?"

"Is it math? I hate math more than Chloe did."

"Well, guess I should explain what I really meant, and I should admit to you anyway… It's the sixth month Chloe's been dead anyway. She'd want me to explain."

"I'm listening."

"I can manipulate time to my will, at an extent. Say I dropped my phone and the screen cracked I could fix it with my time powers."

"You're fucking insane Max. Did you smoke too much last night?"

"I wish."

"So… You're going insane, huh. You miss Chloe too much?"

"Let me explain."

"Yes, I totally want to hear your insane bullshit."

"RACHEL!"

"Jesus Christ, okay, calm down. You sound like you're telling the truth… Hopefully. I should listen if this concerns you."

"That's what I want to hear. Anyway, I can do basically what I want with time. In an alternate reality, I saved Kate Marsh from suicide."

"And how do I know you're not lying about this. Prove it."

"Wanna… Head in the bathroom, lock the door for a good minute, unlock it, face the wall."

"And you're gonna request me to get in the shower and strip nude for you."

"Later. As in, tonight maybe."

Rachel raised an eyebrow

"Joking."

"It's not rape if I like it."

"I know, now just head to the bathroom door."

Rachel did as so, and Max smiled, waiting till she heard the door unlock. She walked in

"Now wha-"

Max braced herself. She had not used her rewind power for 6 months. But now… She headed back. She smiled, pleased with herself. The door was indeed locked, and Rachel had done as told. She was facing the wall. Max smirked and put a hand on her ass.

"Surprise."

Rachel turned and would've slapped Max across the face if hadn't been her

"How. The. Fuck?"

"Time travel. When I time travel I teleport in a sense. Meaning I just got passed the lock while you just faced the wall unsuspecting."

"That is so cool. So how did you cause Chloe's death again? You weren't in the bathroom when she got shot."

"I was when I was in the alternate universe. And I saved her in that universe. But in that universe… There was a tornado of some shit, and it destroyed Arcadia Bay. And… And..."

A tear dripped down Max's face.

"Chloe asked me to sacrifice her. And I felt right doing it… We kissed… And..." She pulled out a photo. A photo of a blue butterfly.

"I used this to go back in time. To the day she was shot. This photo should technically not exist… Because I wasn't in the bathroom. I was in my dorm, crying. It felt right then… But, now..."

Rachel kissed her "I understand… It felt right. Sometimes you just can't fuck with fate, even when you have the power to. She was destined to die that day sadly."

"No she wasn't!" Max was weeping at this point. "I could have saved her!"

"And fuck up Arcadia Bay? Destiny is strong. And while Arcadia Bay may be shit, you and I can get out of here soon. That's our destiny."

"I should have saved her..."

"Max, it was either me or Chloe. Either way you'd feel guilty."

"You're right… When I came to this universe..." She pulled a newspaper out of one of the drawers, and put it on the table. Rachel read it.

"Rachel Amber found, Dead in Junkyard."

"That was the alternate universe, huh.

Max nods.

"That's what I thought. But I'm here… Chloe is probably happy, smoking weed, doing the shit she wants wherever she is. Personally, I'd prefer Hell. Heaven would be all homophobes and boring people."

Max laughs.

"Exactly."

She kissed Rachel, and she smiled, before shutting her eyes.

"Before the tornado, I had visions. And I'm having them again. It's a stormy day, and I was on the beach. The waves were far out. A tsunami is coming I feel like."

Rachel kissed her "Well… Do what you have to do. If the tsunami does come..." She smiles "Well, looks like we have some driving to do then."

Max smiled, and kissed Rachel again.

"Well, in the alternate universe, Chloe was my partner in crime. Meaning I need a new partner. And Rachel, I choose you."

"Well, if there's anything we can do, it's together. Let's kick some ass."

Max smiled, kissing Rachel again, and putting Chloe's beanie on.

"Indeed. We have much to get done."
