Veronica stared at the woman, eyes wide. She thought she was dreaming, and yet, the dream seemed very real. She ran over to Harlene, hugging her. "Oh my God, it's you!" She cried. Harlene blushed a bit, before wrapping her arms around Veronica. Sure, she left on bad terms with Veronica, but she often asked for forgiveness, so she would give it to her. "I thought we'd never see you! Richard has been-"

"Crying over me. I know." Harlene chuckled. "I can see everything." She let Veronica go.

"So your mother hadn't gone insane. You actually left with Loki…" Veronica stared. "Wait, did he dump you and that's why you're back!?" Veronica's eyes lit up. "Oh great-"

"No. I'm here to go shopping. Asgard sells… weird clothing." Harlene sighed. "And I wanted to see a few people. Like you and mother."

Veronica thought for a bit, before grabbing Harlene's hands. "Why don't we go to the mall, and then you can see your mother? Cause I'm sure you have to go home tonight." Veronica frowned. "And I'd like to catch up with you."

"Yeah, let's go." Harlene said.

"I got my driver's license, so I can drive us." Veronica walked over to a shiny red car. "Get in." She giggled. Harlene blinked, before nodding and getting in the passenger seat. As they began to drive, Veronica asked questions.

"So, what's been going on with you?" She asked as she turned, heading for the mall.

"Well, I was imprisoned for a while, but Loki took over Asgard so he got me out of the prison." She shrugged.

"What, why were you imprisoned!?" Veronica stopped at a red light, frowning, it seemed like she would always catch the red lights.

"Because Loki wasn't supposed to be with a 'mortal'." She rolled her eyes. "His father didn't approve of us."

"That's messed up." Veronica shook her head, sighing.

"How about you? Anything new?" Harlene looked out the window.

"Meh. Not really. Why are you asking? You can see everything." Veronica laughed a bit, as did Harlene. This was true. She could see quite a bit when she wanted to, so it was a silly question. She was just trying to make conversation. "So… Are you happy?" Veronica asked, finally getting serious. She stopped the car as they reached the mall.

"Yeah… Yeah, I think I am." Harlene blushed.

She looked at Veronica, who smiled. "Good. Well, let's go." Veronica got out of the car, and Harlene followed as quick as she could. They began heading for the doors to the mall, staying quiet for a bit. When they got inside, they wondered around aimlessly, checking stores and buying random things. Veronica bought a bunch of cute things, while Harlene bought a bunch of corsets and what not. She even bought some platinum blonde hair dye. The day went by pretty quick, as the girls were having fun.

They finally headed back to the car, and began to head to Harlene's old home. "Have you been watching over your mother lately?" She asked, looking at her.

"No, actually. The last few days I've just been watching over random things." She shrugged. It was the truth. The last few days, she had only watched random people, so she wasn't sure how her mother was doing. When they arrived to the house, Veronica looked over at her.

"Should I leave?" She asked. "Or stay for a bit?"

"Stay." Harlene said, stretching. Veronica smiled and got out the car with her, heading to the door. Harlene knocked on the door and waited.

Soon, the door had opened, and Harlene's eyes widened. This is not what she had expected. "Thor, what the hell are you doing in my mother's house!?" She stared up at her boyfriend's 'brother', before seeing her mother behind him. She pushed Thor out of her way. "Mom!"

Amber looked over, before gasping. "Harlene!" She rushed over, ignoring Thor and throwing her arms around Harlene. "You're home!" She shuddered.

"Mother… I'm not staying for long. I'm only here to visit…" She looked at Thor. "…Why's he here?" She asked.

"Oh, he didn't have anywhere else to go, and I figured that it was Loki's brother, so I'd let him stay here. Loki's other family members are here." She showed her the dining room, where Odin and Frigga were eating. Her eyes widened.

"Mother-"

"Amber, who's that?" Frigga asked. "Are you coming to dinner with us?" She asked. Amber nodded.

"I'll be in soon!" She looked at Harlene. "Come on, eat with us. You too Veronica." Before Harlene could object, she was forced to sit down.

Thor sat next to her, as he was the one who forced her to sit. He looked down at his plate. Veronica sat on the other side of Harlene, and Amber sat between Veronica and Frigga.

Odin stared at Harlene for a bit, shocked. "Amber, this is your daughter?" He looked at her.

Amber blinked. "Yeah, that's my little girl." She frowned. "Is something wrong?"

"This girl… She's the reason we were thrown out of our home." Odin growled. "Her and Loki took over Asgard-"

"Father, stop." Thor growled at the man next to him. "Loki wouldn't have done it had you left Harlene alone." Thor went back to eating

Amber stayed silent, before looking at Odin. "What did you do to my daughter…?" She felt her body tense up.

"I imprisoned her, because she knew she wasn't supposed to be in Asgard-"

"You could've very well have sent her home!" Thor glared. "You always blame others. You never take responsibility for your own actions…"

Frigga stayed quiet, taking in everything. "He's right, Odin. I begged you to send her back. Loki could've visited her whenever."

Odin sighed. "…" He looked at Harlene, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry for imprisoning you. I was in the wrong, and should've sent you back." He said, before standing up and walking off. Frigga looked down and sighed.

"He is sorry. He asks me often if he made the right choice." She said softly. The rest of the time, they ate in silence. Eventually, they had finished.

"Don't worry about the dishes, I'll do them." Thor said, standing up and getting all the plates.

"Amber, you should spend time with your daughter. I'm going to talk to Odin." Frigga bowed a bit, before walking off. Amber sighed, and looked at her daughter.

"You overthrew them?" She asked, a bit exhausted.

"Yeah… But only because I wouldn't let Loki be locked up." She looked away. "I know it was wrong of me to do, but…" She shrugged.

Amber shrugged. "…How about you visit this weekend? I would love to spend more time with you, but right now…" She sighed. "I'm really tired. My job's been killing me."

"That's fine. Loki's probably worried anyway." She said, walking over to her mother and hugging her.

"Be safe." Amber said, and that was it. No I love yous or any kisses. Just that. In fact, she didn't even hug her back. Harlene sighed, and walked out with Veronica.

"Damn…" Veronica shook her head. "You really did overthrow them. I thought you were joking."

"Yeah… Could you take me back to the school? I need to get back to Asgard." She looked down.

"Of course. Get in the car." Veronica said, making her way back to the car as well. "You know, I wanna see Asgard at some point too." Veronica pouted.

"One day maybe." She chuckled, before they fell into silence again. When they reached the school, they hugged briefly.

"Try to visit often." Veronica begged. "It's been boring."

"I will. See ya." She got out of the car, and waved her hands around. Veronica watched, and saw her suddenly disappear. Her eyes were wide, and her jaw dropped.

"Wow…"
