Will slipped his wrinkled feet into a pair of warm slippers. He shuffled into his sunlight filled kitchen with Kirjava at his feet. This morning when Will had woken up, he'd discovered that the letter he had written Lyra the night before was gone. Confused, he had no idea who could've taken it. He was also a little alarmed, what if someone had broken into his house without him knowing it? But who would've taken a letter and nothing else? The idea was absurd. Will did have one nagging thought though. But he wasn't sure... why would they do it? He thought that perhaps one of the Angels that could spirit travel could've done it. They could've taken the letter to Lyra's world and given it to her. The idea filled him with a weird feeling, half happy, half hopeful, and also with a sad pressing feeling in his stomach, because he knew that even if she did get the letter, he wouldn't be able to see her again anyway. Sighing, he made himself breakfast, then went back to his room to change his clothes. When he entered his room, he had a shock. On his bedside table was the letter sitting in exactly the same place he had put it last night. Will picked it tentatively up and checked the top of the letter. It said, ' Dear Will,' on it. Curious, he opened the letter fully. He let out a little gasp as he scanned the page. At the end of the letter he read over and over again, Love Lyra.

' Will, what is it?' Kirjava asked, still at his heels.

Will sank down onto his bed. Kirjava leapt onto his lap. 'This letter, Kirjava, its from Lyra!' Will saw Kirjava's cat eyes widen in surprise, and she said, 'Lets read it.'

Will and Kirjava read the letter together. By the end of it Will felt joyful and full of love at the fact that his love Lyra was still alive, and that she still loved and cared for him.

'I don't get it.' Kirjava said to Will, 'Did you send a letter to her first?'

'Last night, you were curled up asleep. I was going to tell you in the morning so we could write a better one together, but apparently someone took the first draft to Lyra.'

' Someone?'

'I expect it was an Angel. Kirjava, its Midsummers day today, we'll be close to Lyra, both knowing what's gone on in each other's lives. I wish the Angel could've let me write a better letter, but it doesn't matter, it got to Lyra is what does.'

Kirjava nodded, 'This is- I don't get how this could've happened, but I am so happy to have heard from Lyra.'

Will smiled, one of his true smiles. Few people managed to get him to smile like that, Lyra being one of them.

At 12' o clock that day, Will and Kirjava were sitting at his and Lyra's bench in the Botanic Gardens. He knew that in her world, Lyra would be doing the exact same thing.

* Lyra and Pantalaimon were sitting together on her and Will's bench in the Botanic Garden. She looked around, it was a beautiful day. Will's world would be exactly the same, she wished she could see him one last time.

' Lyra..' She heard the words spoken in no more that a whisper, and she looked around in shock.

' I am right in front of you. It is I, Xanphania.' 'Xanphania!' Lyra gasped.

'Lyra, you have lived a full and good life, and so has Will. To reward you for this, we have taken letters to each one of you, and now for one more thing, before each of you die.' With no explanation, Lyra felt was suddenly tranported very quickly to somewhere else. She looked around. She was still sitting on the bench, but everything around her seemed blurred, foggy.

' Lyra!' She heard a man's voice from beside her. She looked to her side.

' Will, oh my, oh Will, my dear..' She found herself unable to say anymore, and flung herself into Will's arms. He kissed her all over her face and her neck, not quite believing that he was seeing her again at last. The were both crying tears of happiness and joy, holding onto each other once again for dear life. On the ground, Pantalaimon and Kirjava were in a similar state. Will pulled back from Lyra, and set his eyes properly on the woman he had loved so much yet hadn't seen for so, so long. He took in her still blue eyes, now full of wisdom and understanding, her delicate features, how much she had aged, and yet how he still found her to be one of the most beautiful things he had ever set his eyes on. Lyra was doing the same thing, she took in how aged he now was, like herself, his strong jutting jaw, his fierce blue eyes, his presence, so reassuring and full of proctective strength around her. Each of them found that they were falling in love all over again.

'Will,' Lyra said, ' I've missed you so much.'

'Shhh... I know, I know,' He replied, smoothing her long whispy grey hair. 'Lets just be with each other for the time we have.'

Lyra nodded, not just her eyes full of love for him, but her whole expression.

In the short time they had together, Will and Lyra walked and sat in each others presence, so wholey in love that they could barely see straight.

'Lyra,' Will whispered in her ear, ' There's ten minutes before our hour is up.' 'Lets head back to the bench.' She replied. Hand in hand, they walked together, all their sences in a state of bliss. When they reached the bench, they had only two minutes left.

' Well, here we are, going to part again.' Lyra said shakilly.

Will held her in his arms and said, 'But this time is wont be for so long, because we will meet again, all my atoms, all your atoms...' He trailed off.

'Yes, I'll search till I find them, then we'll never have to part again.' Lyra and Will shared one last kiss, not wanting it to end. Each of them seated themselves on the bench, holding hands. After about five seconds, Lyra let a wrenching sob escape her mouth as she felt her's and Will's hands being ripped apart from one another. Lyra and Will felt like they were again being transported through the air at very high speeds. And just as suddenly as it had started, it stopped, and Lyra found herself back in her own world, the people around her oblivious to the fact that she had just been gone from their world for an hour. Pan hopped onto her shoulder and whispered into her ear, ' Lets go home.' Lyra nodded, got up and began walking towards her house. She though over the time she had spent with Will. Her heart seemed to be left raw yet again, after having to have him ripped away from her again. But this time, reminding herself of what Will had said, it wont be for long...
