Alfred looked at Mathew as if he was crazy, until Mathew pointed to his sleeve. Inside just barely visible was a tiny microphone.

Alfred looked blankly at it for some time before finally saying, "Mathew?"

"Yes?" Mathew answered trying to hide his flinch.

"What is that?"

Mathew was silent for a moment "Alfred? It's a microphone….."

Alfred looked at it as if it was the best toy on earth.

"Where'd you get it Matt?" Alfred asked excitedly.

"Alfred that's not the point it's-"

All of a sudden Mathew was cut off by a sharp pain in his head, that head ache he had gotten earlier was getting worse, and looking around it didn't seem like he was the only one who had been suffering it all morning. Alfred's must have been the worse as he wasn't standing like he had been a few seconds ago but instead kneeling on the ground clutching his head as a wave of dizziness hit him, From across the lawn Mathew was just barely able to make out a figure who had stopped walking towards them and was doing the same. These were the last images he saw before the dizziness took him and he drifting off into unconsciousness.

"nn…..what the…?" Alfred looked around him.

The lawn in front of his house had vanished instead of his head laying on the dirt and grass he was met with a cool stone floor.

"Mattie? Feli?" He asked getting up and looking around the room.

The whole place was filled with vials of all shapes and sizes. In the corner of the room was an orb looking object, and as he got closer he realized he was looking at a hovering, spinning, and miniature model of the earth. He past his hand underneath it and when nothing happened he figured it was probably magnetic and moved on. The room itself was made of stone and it had a brick fire place in the middle of the room. The only thing especially weird about the room was that it was filled with little hovering lights. Alfred was so enthralled in watching these that he didn't notice a girl walk into the room.

"Ack! The ghost thing is back!" She screamed and through the nearest object she had at him.

(This apparently was a chair) Alfred looked just in time to see the chair sailing towards him. He caught it as fast as he could and put it down. The girl in question had brown hair flowing down to her shoulders. She wore only a white summer dress and a white ribbon holding a small braid in the back of her hair.

"Who are you?" Alfred asked,

"And where am I? You're not working for the Commi are you?"

But before he could ask another question the girl stopped him. She sighed looking at him as if he was stupid for not knowing her.

"Look one my name is Fate, two I should be asking how YOU got to MY workshop, thee I don't have tries to any one on earth, and four What do you want? Do you have any idea how much trauma and trouble you and your girlfriend caused me?"

Alfred simply stared at her for a while.

"Damn I hit the ground hard…Now I'm hallucinating."

Fate rolled her eyes and went to go get the chair that she had thrown at him.

"Wait….You know Liz? Liz Kirkland?" Alfred asked finally internalizing what she had just said.

This little girl is fate? No way!

Fate looked at him as if he had lost his mind, because of course she did! She was Fate she knew everybody! She was surprised he hadn't noticed her yet she had been watching him for a while now.

Fate sighed and walked over to one of her drawers. She rummaged through it until she found watch she was looking for, a green card with bold letters that read ELIZABETH ALICE KIRKLAND. She turned back to America who was babbling about McDonalds or something and threw him the card.

"This is what you wanted right? Will you leave now" Fate asked.

Destiny would probably ground her again for this but who cared? What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him right? Besides she needed to get back to work anyway and this guy was just going to cause her trouble.

Alfred was about to say he didn't know how, but another sharp pain stopped him in his tracks and he fell to the ground. Drifting off he clutched the card to his chest and then let oblivion take over. Yet just before the darkness took over he thought he spotted a girl in a black dress

When Alfred woke up it was mid-day, and it seemed yet again Canada was up before him. Canada was up against the tree gazing off into the distance.

"Hey Matt" Alfred finally managed to say after a few minutes.

Mathew looked over to Alfred and smiled.

"Hey Alfred." Mathew put his hand out to help Alfred up and Al gladly took it.

That's when Mathew noticed the green card that Alfred was clutching in his gloved hand.

"Hey Al? What's that? Are you picking random things off the ground again?" he teased.

Alfred looked down at the card in his hand. "It's a card someone gave me, weird I can't remember who….and Hey! I haven't done that in age's bro!"

Mathew frowned slightly "You randomly kept something someone you didn't know gave you? Does the word safety mean anything to you?" He asked sighing.

Sometimes it was hard to see how they were related. Alfred shrugged and chuckled.

"Come on Matt what's the fun in that?"

Just as Alfred said that the color drained out of the scenery surrounding him. Mathew disappeared and all that was left was the old Virginia house, the tree, the field, and the little tomb stone that was his grave. Alfred sat by his tomb stone and waited for the person he knew would come. Though it seemed funny that after all of this he still was going to denounce magic…there had to some explanation to it right? Well he had a long time to think about it now. It took what seemed like a day but eventually Alfred caught sight of a car turning in to the drive way. Alfred quickly stood and waited for Liz to make it to the grave.

When she did she smiled.

"Hi Alfred, it's been a long time hasn't it?" she asked. Alfred smiled and walked over to her.

"Hi Liz I'm missed you." She opened up her arms and he came running in to them, damn he had missed her.

"Liz?" He asked after a couple of minutes.

"Yes?" "I promised didn't I?" Liz nodded her head. Alfred held up her card.

"Not exactly the wedding ring but now will have all the time in the world to choose it out."
