Disclaimer: I do not own Lyra, Will, or any of Phillip Pullman's characters.(How could I if they are Pullman's?) I created Alec and Allie, though.

A/N: Warning this chapter contains plenty of mushy-gushy love stuff.

Enjoy!

Chapter 6:

~*~ Reunion ~*~



"Oh Will! I've missed you so much!" Whispered Lyra, with her arms around him.

"I've missed you too, Lyra." They gazed into each other's eyes, which were filling with tears. Will kissed her passionately, their first kiss since the last time they'd said goodbye. Will didn't bother to ask how she'd come to his world, not then. He was too excited.

~*~

They spent the whole day together, in the garden. They walked around telling each other what they had been doing since their last parting. Lyra told Will about going to St. Sophia's, and about her friend Allie. And he told her his story.

After they'd said goodbye last time, he and Mary Malone found his mother. Mrs. Cooper had still been watching her. He brought her back to Mary's house, where the three of them still lived. They had dealt with all of the legal stuff, it wasn't that bad.

Then, she told him about meeting Alec, the year before. She told him how Alec taught her to travel. "And I'll teach you, too. Then we could live for a while in each other's world, just like we'd planned." She finished.

Will nodded. "Yes, of course, I'll learn." He said. She hugged him, and he pulled her closer to him.

"Will," she whispered.

"Yes?" He said.

"I've missed you, this, us being together. I've missed you so much." She said.

"I've missed you too, Lyra. More than anyone, in any world, has missed anyone or anything before." Will said. "The way you are always so brave. The way you always do what you want, no matter what anyone else thinks. I love you, Lyra Silvertongue."

"I love you, too." She said. And they kissed.

About twenty minutes later, Will and Lyra, Kirjava and Pantalaimon were all sitting in Will's kitchen, waiting for Mary to come home from work. She would be home soon, and what a surprise she would get. Will went to the refrigerator, and pulled out two cans of Coke…just like when he and Lyra had first met. Lyra smiled, she was remembering, too.

"Lyra?" Mary was almost too astonished to speak.

"Dr. Malone!" Lyra cried. Lyra ran to hug her friend.

"How?" Asked Mary. "How did you get here?" And Lyra explained all about this way to travel, and how she was going to teach Will. Mary was very happy that they'd found each other again, she'd hoped they would.

After a couple of hours of talking and eating (Will made omelets), they were all very tired. Mary went up to her bedroom. Will and Lyra lay together on Will's bed. They fell asleep almost at once, in each other's arms.

The next day, Will and Lyra took a walk through Oxford. They went to all of the sights, like the museums. They never spent a moment apart.
