Chapter 3- Return, hopes and Dreams!

As we arrived safely back in Robert's maze garden, we went up to his room and I began to explain to him all I knew about him. "That sounds so cool! The iron man bit not the drug problems bit" Robert remarked. "Well, try to keep control of yourself and be strong" I advised him as I scanned myself with my phone as a Picture of myself appeared on the screen and when I pressed it, My phone created a real-life clone of me in the flesh which stood next to Robert. "Could you show me around your time for a bit please, before I go?" I asked, eagerly. "Ok!" Robert replied with a hot, cheerful smile.

So he shown me around New York, it was how it was before technology was upgraded and modernized. It was spectacular and I began to feel sad that I had to leave the past.

So after the amazing tour with a quick snack of corndogs together, we headed back to the maze garden. Then I used my phone to scan him which made his face appear in the screen this time and I quickly saved it to the genetic files. The Time bubble began to engulf everything as It got closer and closer to where we were. "I guess it's time for me to go" I said, sadly.

"I'm going to miss you" Robert said as tear rolled down his cheek. "I'll miss you too" I said, tearfully. Then we hugged each other and Robert kissed me one last time. "Goodnight, Robert" I said as I smiled at him and activated the 'Erase time info memory and leave faded memories of Dream girl' buttons which made an orange laser shoot at him gently as the bubble began to engulf me too. "Goodbye, Grace" Robert called out. "You might see me again, sooner than you think" I called back to me as I closed my eyes and the time bubble completely engulfed me.

I woke up in my room, lying in my bed as I heard the letter box clang as Letters were pushed through it. So I ran downstairs as fast as I could and saw one of the letters addressed to me in neat whirly handwriting. I opened and read it with delight. It read: 'Dear Grainne,

Thanks for the lovely letter you sent me. I'll try to come to Luton for your birthday next year and I'll try to make another album before my singing window closes.

Your lyrics are pretty good. Maybe we can song-write together some day.

There's an IM3 picture attached to this letter with me as Tony on it that's been signed.

By the way, I'm glad you love my song from the past.

I've checked out your Fan fiction stories and they're all really good. Well done!

Your favourite actor,

RDJ

PS: Wait 5 minutes and you'll get a wonderful surprise!'.

After I'd finished reading it in the kitchen, I got up the saved genetic picture of young Robert and pressed his picture to create his clone. Then there a knock on the door. I was home alone because my mum, Dad and little sis were away a long night party. So I opened the door and the one person I'd wanted to meet since I saw IM3 was standing in front of me. "Grainne?" He asked. "RDJ.." I whispered as I fainted in delight.

I felt dazed after the effects left me, and then I looked to me left and saw a Grace twin, smiling at me. Susan Stop clock restored Tim's memory and he zoomed into Grace's time. "I made you a gift" I said to Clone Grace, "could you give it to her for me, please?".

"Ok" Clone Grace said as she turned her back to me and made a digital time stream which she placed the gift into. "Good luck, Grace" I said, sadly as I hugged Clone Grace for comfort.

Tim hid behind the side of my house as RDJ and I played the piano together and he taught me how to beat the 'IM' DS game. The REAL TS iron man supercool mark 42 suit appeared at RDJ's command and I found my old school bag to suit up into my 'water-turned' elemental suit I had all this time as I sensed danger lurking by. The suits located Tim but he crept behind and launched a surprise attack.

Just then, a digital river flowed in front of us with loads of numbers and a gift wrapped in purple flowery paper hit Tim on the head as it travelled along the time stream to me. I picked it up and saw the 'To Grace from Robert' tag attached to it. Then I opened and smiled. "Thanks Robert, this is the best gift anyone's ever given to me!" I remarked as I hugged RDJ who turned into Robert for a brief 5 seconds before changing back to RDJ again.

The present was a purple amethyst amulet locket with 'RXG' in craved into its golden back. I put it on and got into a fighting stance. "For Time and Justice!" I yelled. "Where's my sandwich?" RDJ yelled as he made a battle cry sound and jumped onto Tim's back. "It's over, Time" I said as my chest lightening rector began to charge up. "Do it!" RDJ yelled. "But you'll die!" I yelled.

Then the chest piece blasted and RDJ jumped out of the way as the blast missed him by a centimetre but part of it hit him in the chest. "I've missed you, Grace" he said, weakly. "I missed you too" I said, softly. Then I kissed him one last time as a white light surrounded him and changed him which also heal him..

Clone Grace smiled at me as I felt a warm sensation take over me as a white light surround me and whisked me away. Then Clone Grace tracked down Susan and placed a personality chip on her, which caused her to never restore or touch anyone's memories again as she was kept under strict surveillance in the time industry.

"It's bomb time!" I yelled as I made a water bomb which electrocuted Tim and made a time-version of a black hole appear behind him as he fell backwards into it which sent him to time prison inside the time industry. "Yes!" I cried in victory and then turned around. I gasped. There standing in place of adult RDJ, was young Robert himself; In my time wearing white! "Robert, is that you?" I asked.

'Where am I?' I thought as the light cleared and I found myself in someone's house. Then I saw her again, wearing some kind of metal amour. Then I looked down and found myself wearing the same kind of amour but with red and golden on it. 'Hello?' a familiar, yet unfamiliar voice rang in my head. 'er..hi?' I replied , awkwardly in my head. 'Oh, good. It's you. Er.. where am I? the last thing I remember was helping Grace fight that weird guy from another time scale' the voice said. 'You know Grace?!' I asked mentally with shock. 'Yeah, I'm you. Future Adult you' the voice replied.

"Robert, is that you?" Grace asked which jerked me back into reality. "Yeah, It's all me" I replied.

"I think I just heard a voice in my head" I said randomly. "That's your adult self talking" Grace explained. "Right" I said, "so this is what the future looks like".

I looked around more vividly and saw the sun's rays coming through the window as always and a huge TV that appeared to be flat and narrow along with modernized gaming technology.

"The future's amazing!" I exclaimed. 'I'm afraid you can't see all of it or it will be spoilt for you and Time might collapse if you know too much before you change into me' Future adult me said, in my head. ' Will I ever see her again?' I asked him desperately in my mind. 'Trust me, you will. I know you will' He replied, wisely.

"I guess I have to go now, since I can't stay long in your time world" I said, sadly.

"Don't worry. You'll see me again soon. Unfortunately, I won't age then. I'll still be 15 while you'll be… well, 48. The reality is, you're totally older than me by a long shot and you're destined to be with someone else" I said sadly. "Farewell, Grainne" Robert said as we kissed and the light returned to his body as he faded away back to his time. "So long, dear Robert my wonderful dream boy" I whispered.

I felt the warm sensation return and tears flowed down my cheeks as I returned to my own time. Then the Time industry released Susan Stop clock for her day off and she walked down the snowy streets of New York. I hugged Clone Grace and kept her in my room to remindme of my dream girl, the one I'd secretly love forever. Then I saw Susan as a teen with her long flowing brown hair swaying in the wind and her brown eyes glisened in the moonlight. Then I race after her and began to chat to her. 'See you soon, Grace' I thought with a secret smile.

The light cleared and Robert along with RDJ,his present adult self had both vanished.

I thought all hope was lost and hoped in to bed, feeling miserable and tearful.

The next day, My mum was home and it was after school, so she instructed me to go to town to get her groceries…

Aftermath

RDJ had mysteriously disappeared after battle and I felt sad but glad at the same time that Robert was back where he belonged in his time. I wish we could be together but he's destined for a different path. So I walked down the street in the town centre to get my mum some christmas presents early, long before the rush began. So when I carefully walked out of the lift, I heard familiar love music from 'Ally Mcbeal' as I turned around and saw RDJ walking out of it in slow-motion.

"How was I?" he asked when he stopped. "Perfect. Absolutely perfect" I said. Then my whole body changed as I kissed him and ignored the looks adults were giving to me because I was a 15 year old girl kissing a 48 year old hot guy. But my body changed with the same light that had changed RDJ and made me a beautiful adult with long legs (Not that I didn't already have them anyway), slim body structure and age rage appropriate to be with him.

I was able to be that way as long as I like because the light let me do that.

So we kissed and I was happy for a long time and Clone Robert helped me remember why I love him so much.
