Robert, 4 days later
**********
Robert sat, feverishly typing at his computer. Come on, come on. He
needed to finish this chapter to beat his deadline. His agent was
breathing down his neck, and fan mail poured in daily. 'The divine
lady shut the door behind her, completely unaware of her newfound
power.' Rubbing the back of his neck, Robert let out a sigh of
relief. Now Anna could get the monkeys off his back. Glancing at his
phone, Robert debated asking Amy out. Since their date a few days
ago, Amy had been on the uppermost of his mind. Memories from the
Silver Millennium had flooded his mind, blurring the memories of
past and present. Sighing, Robert picked up the phone before it
rang. "Hello, Amy."
On the other line, Amy wondered how he did that. "I was going to go
for a walk and I wondered if you would join me."
Gazing at his computer, Robert answered, "Sure. How about I meet you at
the angel fountain?"
"Okay, I'll see you there." Amy said, then hanging up the phone.
Walking into his bathroom, Robert looked at himself in the mirror
and said, "What are you getting yourself into?"
**********
"Amy! Over here!" Robert yelled, catching his breath at the sight of
her. Amy was wearing a pale blue sweater and blue jeans. Although
she was dressed simply, she looked like a goddess to him.
"Robert, hi!" Amy said, jogging over to him. Kissing him on the
cheek, she took his hand.
"Amy, if you're going to kiss me, kiss me right." Robert said as he
pulled Amy close and gently brushed her lips. He pulled away when he
heard Amy sigh. "That's how it's done."
Wagging a finger at him, Amy said, "The next time you do that, I
might have to crack you."
Raising an eyebrow, Robert asked, "Crack me?"
"Slap you, hit you. It's all the same." Amy said waving a hand in
the air. "Have you ever read a book by L. A. Roberts?"
Visibly blanching, Robert said, "Yes. When I was a student, I read
his book on the Silver Millennium. That's the one you're talking
about, right?"
Lowering her voice to a whisper, Amy said, "This may sound silly but
he's writing about a past life of mine. I believe his Princess Maris
is me."
"How do you figure?" Robert asked, lowering his face to hers.
"My middle name is Maris and I've read somewhere that princesses
generally take they're middle name as a title." Amy said, craning up
to look at him.
Shrugging his shoulders, Robert said, "You might be right."
"I know I am." Amy said, winking at him. Kissing him on the lips,
she jumped away and said, "Tag! You're it!"
Looking after her, Robert shook his head. She could be serious one
moment and playful the next. Her mercurial personality would drive
him to distraction one of these days...
**********
Amy
**********
"Ahh! Don't get me!" Amy screamed as Robert grabbed at her. Finally
he caught her and pulled her into his arms. With him nibbling at her
ear lobes she cried, "Stop it or I'll... I'll..."
"Or you'll what?" Robert said, turning her around to face him.
"I'll never kiss you again." Amy said, with a determined yet
laughing twinkle in her eye.
Pulling her closer so she was pressed up against his chest, Robert
leaned down as he lifted her chin up and said, "I guess I'll just
have to kiss you senseless." Covering her mouth with his, Robert
kissed her slowly. Coming up for air, he laughed at her with his
eyes.
"Robert, if you're going to kiss me, kiss me right." Amy said,
pulling him down and sealing her lips with his. Slowly she wrapped
her arms around his neck and kept him anchored there. She opened her
mouth and she moaned when Robert's tongue slipped in. Pulling
herself away, Amy murmured, "Maybe we should take this indoors."
Looking hungrily at her lips, Robert said, "Only if we get to
continue where we left off."
"Mmm... Maybe we should do this another day. If I see you too often,
I might have to fall in love with you. Walk with me?" Amy said,
taking his hand.
"Sure," Robert said, gently squeezing her hand.
They walked, hand in hand, to Amy's apartment. With the sunset in
the background, Robert leaned down and kissed her hand. 'This has
happened before!'

Vision
**********
"Alan, we can't meet like this anymore!" The redhead clutched the
young man's hand.
"I'm sorry, Maris, but I can't let you marry my brother! I love you
and you love me! Fate wouldn't be so cruel!" Alan said capturing
Maris' mouth.
Pulling away, Maris said, "The betrothal contract is for the eldest
male heir of the Neptunian throne. The only way we would be together
is if Dylan died! I wouldn't wish that on anyone." Tears in her eyes,
Maris turned away from him.
Desperately trying to make her understand Alan reached for her hand
and planted a kiss on it. "I love you, Maris, and I'll make sure
we're together one day."
Just then, an explosion happened near the castle.
**********
"Alan!" Amy screamed her voice raw in her throat.
Rocking her back and forth, Robert crooned softly, "It's okay Amy.
Everything will be fine. Visions are scary the first time you have
them."
Feeling weak, Amy looked up at him. "You've had them too?"
"Ever since I was a child. My blessing and my curse." Robert sighed,
"I might as well tell you the rest. I've written about them."
"Really? Was your work published?" Amy asked, leaning into Robert's
strength. Feeling him tense up, Amy added, "Whatever it is, I won't
judge you."
Trying to delay the inevitable, Robert said, "Let me tell you about
my past life. I was born during the time when planets were ruled by
kings and queens. My elder brother was engaged to the crown princess
of one of the planets. There was a great battle and we were reborn
here. My brother and I shared an ability that baffled many
scientists. We weren't born as brothers in this world, but we shared
a gift."
"The visions." Amy said from her perch under Robert's chin.
"Yes, the visions. He was able to see the future and I was able to
see the past and present. He..." Robert stopped, thought a moment on
what to say next, then continued. "He foresaw his own death and of
the new evil in our time. He tried warning me, but it didn't help
any."
Laying her hand on Robert's arm, Amy said, "What does this have to
do with your visions?"
"I've been publishing my visions ever since I was a sophomore in
college under a pen name and passing them off as myths." Robert
said, slowly moving away from Amy, afraid of what she might do next.
Getting nervous at Robert's withdrawal, Amy asked, "What's your pen
name?"
Clearing his throat, Robert answered, "L. A. Robertson."
