When Universes Collide
Chapter 4~To Worry Or Not
"So you're telling me that we" Selena gestured between herself and her Garrus. "might dissapear?"
Shelby shrugged. "It's possible." Was all Shelby said. In the little time she had been around Selena she knew she easily flew off the handle. She didn't want to be in her way if she did.
"This is just frickin' great!" Selena said throwing her hands in the air. She turned around and grabbed Garrus by the collar. "Don't you know what this means?!" She asked.
"That we could dissapear?"
"No! That we could dis...Oh wait...yeah you're right." Selena said as she let go of Garrus' collar. "Sorry. I got a little..."
"Over dramatic?" Shelby' Garrus said,cutting her off. Selena raised a brow and stared at him in anger.
"What?" She asked angrily.
He held his hands up in surrender. "Nothing...nothing..."
Selena waved her hand. "None of this matters. You said your parents told you this but do you know it for a fact?" Selena asked Shelby.
"Well no...it's just that..."
"See,nothing to worry about." Selena said with the happiest tone she could muster.
"But-" Shelby started but Selena cut her off.
"If you don't know it for fact that doesn't mean it's true. I won't believe it til I see it." Selena said,standing her ground that she was sure there was nothing to worry about.
Shelby started to say something again but the words died on her lips. She knew it would just be a waste of her breath.
"You're going to be in for a rude awakening when you do actually dissapear." Shelby' Garrus said.
Selena glared at him once again. "You're bound to dig yourself a deeper hole aren't you?"
He didn't say anymore. He knew also that it wouldn't get him anywhere.
Selena started to walk away when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked behind her to see Shelby standing behind her with a slight smile on her lips. "What?" Selena asked annoyed.
"You don't know what you're getting yourself into Selena. You're in danger."
"Pff. Yeah right." Selena was going to stand her ground til she could see it for herself first hand. She wasn't easily persuaded to believe whatever another wanted her to believe. She just wasn't any easy person to deal with in any aspect. She would be the first one to tell you that too.
Selena continued to walk off but turned around half way. "Garrus come on." She said. Both Garrus' started coming towards her but she stopped them abruptly half way. "My Garrus." She clarified. Shelby' Garrus went back to Shelby' side and Selena and Garrus started walking off.
Garrus secretly was nervous about this. He believed Shelby about people dissapearing. He just had to help Selena believe.
Back in the Presidium Shelby and her Garrus stood side by side. "Shel,I know you know more than you're letting on. What is it?" He asked,running a talon across her cheek.
She smiled at the intimacy of the action "Even if nothing happens to them,there's a chance that once they find the way out one will be left behind in this universe. A trade for trade sort of thing. One of them could be stuck here..."
