A/N: Alright everyone, I don't normally write song-fics, but this song
inspired me. It is called "Leap Of Faith" and it is by Michelle Branch.
It's a great song!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what little plot there is in this fic. Pullman owns the characters and all, Michelle Branch owns the song.

Leap Of Faith
Lyra and her dæmon slowly pushed aside the gate to the Botanic Garden. It was late at night; the moon shone brightly overhead as their only source of light. Lyra and Pantalaimon walked along the path, the path she knew so well. She could've walked it backwards and blindfolded.
One less call to answer
Feeling full of despair
Don't think I can get through it
Just one last prayer
Will and Kirjava walked through the gates to the Botanic Garden late that night. Silently they made their way across to the back of the garden. He went on till he found the spot he was looking for. He reached the bench, surrounded by overgrown weeds.
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe
There's someone out there
Lyra walked on, past the neat rows of flowers and shrubs, towards the small area in the back of the garden. The area where she knew she could find some peace. And there it was. The just as she'd remembered. The plants in this spot were much more overgrown and wild than the rest. And there was the bench.
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that
Someone cares, oh
Will sat down, and Kirjava hopped into his lap.
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
Lyra sat upon the bench. Pan climbed up next to her.
Searching for the answer
Nobody seems to care
"I miss them." Lyra and Will spoke in unison, though they were worlds apart. They ached for each other night and day, wanting only to be together again.
Oh how I wish that
You were here
Beside me
To wipe away my tears
They each turned to the empty side of the bench where their loves, their other halves were. They looked longingly into the empty space, wishing to be together again.
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe
There's someone out there
A single, silent tear fell from one of Lyra's deep blue eyes, eyes worn with sorrow and anguish.
It's a leap of faith
When you believe
That someone cares, oh
Pan crawled into Lyra's lap. She stroked his pine marten fur as they sat thinking of Will and Kirjava.
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
Will and Kirjava wondered if they'd ever see Lyra and Pan again, hoping, wishing that they could be together again, if only for a minute. Will stared into the other end of the bench, though not really seeing it at all. He saw Lyra. Lyra fighting him in Cittagazze. Lyra kissing him in the mulefa world . Lyra.. with Will. "Lyra.." He whispered into the night.
Waiting for the answer
Remembering times
We would share
A cool breeze blew past Lyra in the warm summer night, and she could've sworn she heard Will's voice whispering to her, whispering her name. She smiled and looked up with her tear-stained face towards the sky.
Somehow I feel
You here beside me
Even though you're not there
Will and Lyra, and Pan and Kirjava sat together in silence thinking of each other and aching to be together again. Lyra held her hand out to the other side of the bench as Will did the same in his world. They could feel each other's presence, and for a moment they both thought they saw a small glint of golden light sparkle on their hands.
And it's a leap of faith
When you believe there's
Someone out there
Lyra and Will lowered their arms and hugged their dæmons close.
It's a leap of faith
When you believe that
Someone cares, oh
"Oh Will." Lyra whispered. "Will I miss you so much."
And when I call out to you
Will you be right there
Right there
Lyra stood up. It was well past midnight and she figured she ought to be getting home. Pan agreed.
And I'll be waiting
By the window for
Your smile to come through
Will got up as well a moment later. He yawned and decided he best get back before Mary began to worry.
And I'll be waiting
In the darkness when
I call out to you
Lyra and Pan exited through the gates, walking slowly back to Dame Hannah's boarding school.
And I'll remember
When you told me
I could trust in you
It was a over a year since they'd been separated. There had not been a day when they did not think of each other. They loved each other more than any two people ever had before. Would they ever meet again? They did not know. Though they had never lost hope. As the sun began to rise in the two worlds, the two no-longer-children walked silently home with their dæmons.
It's a leap of faith
And I believe that
You are out there It's a leap of faith and
I believe you truly care, oh And when I call out to you
I know you'll be right there
Right there And it's a leap of faith
