Thank you so much guys :) I'm glad you're enjoying the story as much a I am! Please note, I'm introducing two characters: David and Sarah. Please note, David's name was origionally Charlie, so if you see the name Charlie, I meant David and probably forgot to change that one.

Enjoy!

The machine was set up and prepared by the time Eva stepped in Neil's room. From first glance, Neil seemed lifeless, laying on his bed perfectly still. His heart moniter told her different, relaxing her and assuring herself he was still alive.

The doctor turned to Eva as se entered the room. "Are you sure you want to go? We have other teams... a wish concerning you could make your choices to bend your direction..."

Eva shook her head. "I'm going." She said, as if nothing in the world could change her mind.

The doctor lifted her hands in defeat. "Alright. Here's who you'll go with." She waved her hand to a young man with blonde hair. He had amber-orange eyes, and he was short. At the moment, he was looking at pictures on Neil's shelf. "He's new, so show him the ropes."

"Right." Eva stepped toward him. He turned his attention away from the pictures. "I'm Eva Rosalene."

"David Dunsten." He shook her hand. "Nice to meet you."

A blonde flash averted her eyes across the room. She turned her head to a girl about Neil's age, maybe younger, with a ponytail. She was faced away from Eva.

Eva glanced at the doctor. "Who's that?"

"Neil's sister, Sarah." The doctor continued as if it didn't matter. "Now Eva, Remember, the rules of the organization state you can't go into the memories of someone you've affiliated with. So, you're going to have to keep this quiet." She spoke seriously.

"Thank you doctor, I will." She nodded her head. David didn't seem surprised; the doctor probably debriefed him already. She turned and stepped towards Neil's bed, staring at his face. You idiot. How could you have lied to me this long? She thought angrily. She was suddenly filled with anger. Such a secret shouldn't be kept from best friends. How could you have been such an idiot to not have gotten help?

"Ready guys?" The doctor slipped the helmet over Neil's head, and Eva could no longer see his face. She looked away.

"Ready." Eva frowned. She slipped her helmet up, ready to put it on. She glanced at Sarah across the room, who had now turned around to watch them. Eva met her eyes for a moment before putting the helmet on and hovering over the switch. "Don't forget your training, David." She murmered before activating her helmet.

She was thrown into the memories. The shock of the wave felt great. It was like jumping into a cold pool. There was a shock, but it would feel amazing once you were in. She felt suspended in mid air for a moment, and a strong breeze blew through her hair.

She opened her eyes, and found herself in Neil's apartment. Did it not work? No, it worked. There was Neil, sitting on his couch, flipping through the channels. He was in a lose T-shirt and jeans. Eva resisted the urge to run over and hug him; this wasn't really him.

David zapped beside her. He glanced at Eva before she nodded. "Neil." David spoke first.

Neil jumped from his couch, flipping around in alarm. "Who's there? I know Karat-" He broke off. He stared at Eva for a long time. "Don't scare me like that, Eva! You freaked the crap out of me!" He walked around the couch, and them traveled his eyes to David. "Who's this? How did you get in anyway?" He asked.

"Neil." Eva's voice made his head turn to her in wonder. A slight alarm went off in his head. Her voice was slightly urgent and forced.

"What's wrong?" He asked, stepping closer. A million guesses seemed to have flooded his head, but not one escaped his lips.

She blinked a few times. "David here is from the Organization." She spoke slowly. "We're here to-"

"No, no, no, no." He took a pace back, suddenly realizing. Eva suspected he'd catch on fast. His eyes widened as he backed away. "Don't you dare tell me-"

"You're dying, Neil." Eva didn't hold back. She wrapped herself in her arms, trying to stop herself from crying. /You're stronger than this/. "We're here to grant your last wish."

Neil stared at her for a long time. His eyes bore into hers, and she squirmed slightly.

And then, he began to laugh.

"Neil, this isn't funny." Eva took a step forward, eyes lowering in concern. Had he gone mad?

"Yes it is, you guys are playing a prank on me." He let out a chuckle. "Good one. You had me for a few moments. Rules state you can't enter my memories if you have affiliation with-"

"Neil, only the doc knows. I couldn't let anyone else enter your memories without me." Eva said impatiently.

"Oh yeah? Reset me."

Eva glared at him. "Then I'd have to explain myself over again, moron."

He paused. "Oh, right..."

"Look, believe it or not we're going through your memories. You know the drill. We need a momento to get started."

Neil stared at her. "Alright, if you're that intent, I don't have reason to not believe you. But, what did I wish for?" He asked.

Eva looked at her feet. She hesitated. "You wished to be with me."

Awkwardness made him look away. He lingered in the room for a moment before leaving towards his room. He returned a moment later with a backpack. "Here, I hope this helps. It was my backpack from the academy."

Eva took the momento and nodded to Neil. She wanted to say something, before remembering he wasn't real. He was a mere copy. She prepared the momento, and glanced up at Neil, who was now standing at the window. She opened her mouth. Something? Anything?

Nothing escaped her lips. She activated the momento and departed with Charlie.
