"Send me to him, please" Kim half demanded, half pleaded as she released Aphrodite's shoulders.
"Oh sweetie..I'd love to but-"
"Can you do holograms?" Aphrodite thought a moment, then perked up.
"I think that's possible!"
"Yes!"
"Don't get too happy. I can only give you 5 minutes tops."
"I understand"
"Good. Now here we go." Aphrodite mouthed what seemed to be a spell and Kim was caught in a flash. A transparent Kimberly now stood side-by-side with the original. The two looked at each other and then smiled back at Aphrodite, who only giggled,
"Now that's weird. Alright you," she pointed to the transparent Kim. "Go on"
As soon as the hologram disappeared Kim hugged Aphrodite tightly and they continued their visit.
~*~*~
Adam zipped up his black backpack and sighed, ~This is about as ready as I'm going to get~
"Going somewhere soon?" a voice questioned from behind him. He turned sharply to see 'Kimberly' standing with a lopsided grin on.
"Kim? How...why? What are you doing here before Christmas?" He stood up and walked towards her. He tried to give her a hug but his arms passed through her easily.
"This is just a hologram, silly. Aphrodite spilled your little secret." She frowned. "Don't do it Adam. Don't travel to the Underworld."
"I have to do this though. If I succeed, you can come back." Adam smiled proudly. He wasn't one to fail when a friend's life was on the line, especially the one he loved.
"And if you fail you die. I won't let you take that chance."
"You're a hologram, you don't have much of a choice. Besides, success or failure, I'll be with you one way or another." He laughed.
"That's not funny." Holographic Kim shook her head. "I died young but you deserve a chance at life. I don't want to ruine that for you."
"Kim, you've got to understand this...I tied living with out you once when you went to Florida. I don't want to do that again. If not doing this means life with out you, I'd rather die. At least that way I'd still get to be with you."
"That's the sweetest thing in the world Adam," Kim smiled. "But I still don't like it."
"You will once you have you're life back. I've been doing nothing but research since Aphrodite told me about the ancient stories of the Underworld."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"It's not just wanting to. I HAVE to do this, for you... for _us_" He looked soulfully at the hologram, which began to flicker slightly at that moment. She looked at her hands,
"That was 5 minutes?" she asked no one, then looked back at Adam. "Be careful, PLEASE be careful."
"You know I will"
"Yeah" Kim said softly as she disappeared. Adam nodded in thought and returned to his backpack to double check his notes.
~*~*~
The holographic Kim just flew in the original as she was talking to Aphrodite.
"Ooo, how'd the talk go?" The Love Goddess asked.
"He's still determined to come." Kim sighed wistfully. She wasn't sure if she was more worried or..happy.
"I knew it! I knew it was love between you two!" Kim giggled at this,
"If anyone would know you would."
"Well at least SOMEONE noticed. The Gods know you two were totally oblivious."
"Alright, alright. I just have to sit here and worry constantly until I know Adam's ok. New subject?"
"Sounds good."
"Ok, so tell me more about this party you mentioned before"
~*~*~*~
Adam stood at the edge of Angel Grove Lake. ~Ok, this is it. Since I don't know where the main entrance is, all the books said lakes can usually lead there...I wonder if that means people swam 'til they drowned? NO! No negative thoughts, Go~
He dove into the water, his pack causing a little trouble at first, but he managed to begin his decline towards the bottom.
