The Never-Ending Why: Chapter 28: Back To The Sky (Part 3)

Donna and Bucky arrived at the apartment. The rain died down, but the confusion and setbacks between them were still going strong.

Donna made a move on the person that kept following her, and that was the only thing that he continued to do. Bucky only followed, because he was lost in thought about Donna's actions.

He didn't expect her to take a different path that evening, and he definitely didn't expect to be kissed. She silently punched in the numbers that opened up the fancy garage, and she turned her focus back to "Bucky".

He glanced up at the apartment window, and then he looked back down at the young woman. She asked him if he was hungry, and she mentioned that it was Victor's turn again to cook.

Bucky couldn't believe that she asked him that. He stood there with a very bewildered look on his face. He was hungry, but he didn't want to go upstairs.

Or.. well, he did want to go up there. But, he felt like he needed to have a conversation with Stephen first. Bucky didn't realize how much he was staring, but he was very deep in thought.

Donna asked him what else he had planned to do after he left. She confessed that she didn't think he had any other plans. Bucky heard what she mentioned, and he slowly said the first thought that crossed his mind.

"I don't have any plans."

What are plans? Bucky thought the wording was odd. He stepped up off the street, and started grinding a rock that he saw into the sidewalk.

"So, would you like something to eat?"

Donna asked him the same question, and Bucky looked up from the rock. Donna Strange was very persistent, and it made Bucky even more nervous. He read about the person that her brother was becoming.

Stephen Strange was learning to become the Sorcerer Supreme, and Bucky saw it as some sort of all-knowing super wizard. He read that Stephen would have the ability to read minds, and see into a person's soul from other dimensions.

Bucky felt like Stephen already knew what was going on in his soul, and it really freaked him out.

"That isn't a good idea."

"Why?"

Donna crossed her arms. She didn't understand the behavior that belonged to the person that walked her home. She knew that he returned her kiss, but then he lost his nerve somewhere.

Donna remembered the two women that James had in his apartment. She was hesitant to bring them up.

The rain started picking up again as they both stood there. Donna looked up at the apartment window and she gave a small sigh. She was about to ask him if he had a girlfriend, but his voice pulled her up from the thought.

"I can go up, for a little while."

Bucky planned to eat and run. He almost laughed at his own thought, and he took a step closer toward the garage. Donna's eyes immediately sparked open. Her smile was enormous. Bucky heard her say OK several times, and she started leading him toward the elevator.

Victor was in the middle of a new game. He was hours into a game called Final Fantasy, when he heard his sister enter the apartment. He was very fixated with the screen until Donna mentioned that, "the kitchen is over here."

Say what? Victor knew where the kitchen was. He paused his game and turned around. He saw Bucky in the apartment, and his young jaw quickly fell open.

Uhhh... whut?

WAIT WHAT?! Victor crawled over the living room couch and he headed toward the kitchen. He looked in and loudly gasped. BUCKY was in the apartment.

Donna asked him what he made for dinner, and Victor scratched the side of his head. They both looked all smoochy and weird. He completely forgot about what he made for dinner. Victor had to think for a sec...

"Oh. I only had apple juice, and goldfish."

He completely forgot to make food. Victor gave her an innocent expression. Don't hurt me sisterrrrr crossed his baby mind, because Donna loudly exhaled and forced open one of the cupboards.

Bucky gave Victor a small smile, and he mentioned that he could pay for pizza? That was easy, and he figured it would relieve some of Donna's stress.

Victor noticed that he kept looking at his sister. Bucky was acting SUPER WEIRD, and Victor couldn't close his mouth. He was perplexed, and he planned to ask his sister some things.

She agreed with the pizza idea, and opened the drawer that had the phonebook. Victor noticed those weirdo looks that she had too, and he slowly migrated his way back to his video game.

Final Fantasy was way more important. Victor didn't wanna know anything about what Donna had going on in there. BUT, If they started making out... he planned to throw the game controller at Donna's head, and somehow tell Stephen immediately.
