"Mackenzie come back." Benjamin said, his voice a little louder.

"Benjamin." He looked down at Mackenzie. He could of sworn he had heard her say his name, but she still had no pulse and he was positive her lips hadn't moved. "Benjamin," he heard her voice say again.

"Mackenzie..." He whispered.

"Benjamin it's only a dream. I'm here. It's ok." Benjamin heard Mackenzie's voice say. He closed his eyes, now he was just plain confused. The only question that ran through his head now was, 'What the hell is going on?'

Benjamin opened his eyes, but he was no longer holding Mackenzie's body in the middle of an abandoned street. He was now lying on a bed with Mackenzie's hands on his shoulders. "You ok? Looked like a pretty intense dream." she questions as soon as his eyes opened. Benjamin nodded and sat up in response. "Mind telling me what happened in your dream?" Mackenzie questioned sitting down beside him on the bed.

"Only if you tell me why my head is throbbing." Benjamin responded.

"That is simple. You got drunk last night." Mackenzie replied with a sigh. "Now don't go telling me that, that isn't possible, because that's exactly what I though. I just decided that it's the ordinary in you." Benjamin gave her a weird look. "What?"

"You said pretty much the exact same thing in my dream." Benjamin replied.

"Ok..."

"I woke up with a headache and walked out into the living room. You weren't there, but there was a note on the table that said you went out to clear your head. So I lied down on the couch and waited for you to come back. When-"

"Wait... I left you a note in your dream?"

"Yea..."

"I left you a note when I went out earlier. That's weird. Anyway...carry on."

"When you came back you told me you had your dad's bike and wanted to go ride around town, on our last actual day of doing nothing. I asked what happened last night and you told me I got drunk. We got into a small argument about that, and then left in full spirits. We drove around town, you then decided to test the speed limits. You sped down an empty stretch and something darted out in front of us. You swerved to miss it, and we were both thrown of the bike. I got up went over to you, and you were... you were..."

"I was what Benji?" Mackenzie questioned.

"You were dead Kenzie." Mackenzie could see tears in Benjamin's eyes threatening to fall. "God Kenzie, I don't know what I would of done if that really happened. I was so scared that I lost you."

Mackenzie pulled Benjamin's head down to her shoulder and started to stroke the back of his head, while she wrapped her other arm around his abdomen. "Benji, I'll never leave you. I'm sorry to say this, but you are stuck with me for the rest of your life. You're stuck with me till we're both old and grey. "

"You promise Kenzie?" Benjamin questioned pulling away and looking at her.

"Of course. There's nothing I enjoy more then annoying the hell out of you Benji. Now you just gotta promise no matter how annoying I get you'll always be there for me, especially when I need you the most."

"Promise." Benjamin replied.

"Good. Now what do you want to do? Hang out here? Go to your parents place? Go to my dad's place?"

"I don't care, as long as there isn't any speeding down empty streets."

"I'm sure we can avoid that." Mackenzie replied. "So you wanna bug my dad? I'm sure he has a tv, and some movies we could watch."

"Sounds good."

"Kay. I'm just going to go change." Mackenzie said getting off the bed and grabbing a pair of jeans and a shirt from on a chair in a corner of the room.

"I probably should do the same."

"That might be a good idea." Mackenzie smiled leaving the room.

Fifteen minutes later they were both dressed and walking down the streets of Terminal City on their way to Alec's apartment. "So tomorrow's the big day." Benjamin mused.

"That it is. And I'm nervous as hell." Mackenzie replied, as they walked into Alec's apartment building.

"Me too..." Benjamin trailed off.

"What are you two doing?" A voice questioned from above them.

The two looked up to see Alec coming down the stairs. Mackenzie smiled, "We came here to see if you had a tv and some movies we could watch. So, do you have a tv and some movies?"

"Yea."

"Good. Do you mind if we stay at your apartment and watch movies for the day?" Mackenzie questioned.

"Not at all." Alec smiled.

"Awesome." Mackenzie replied.

"But I gotta go to HQ. The two of you stay out of trouble. The door's unlocked."

Mackenzie smiled, "You don't have to worry about us. See ya later."

"Bye Alec." Benjamin said as Mackenzie dragged him past Alec and up the stairs. Alec shook his head as they disappeared down the hall and into his apartment, before he left the building to HQ.

Upon entering the apartment Mackenzie went straight to the tv, and looked at the DVD's that lined the shelf. "I wonder if he actually paid for all of this, or if he stole it"

"Knowing your dad he stole it. So what movies does he have?"

"Old ones." Mackenzie simply stated.

"I don't really think there is really any new movies out there he could get."

"Yea I know. Lets see... we could watch 'The Ring'." Mackenzie sighed.

"Isn't that the one with the creepy chick that comes out of the tv?"

"Yea." Mackenzie replied, still looking through the movies.

"I don't want to watch that one, it creeps me out."

"Ok. How about... 'Meet the Fockers'?"

"Have I seen that one?"

"Yea. It's the sequel to 'Meet the Parents'. It's the one with the kid that says asshole."

"Oh! That's a funny one. Put that in the 'maybe' pile."

"Ok. Want to watch 'Without a Paddle'?"

"Do you even have to ask me that?" Benjamin questioned.

Mackenzie laughed. "No it's one of your favorite movies. How about we watch, 'Without A Paddle', 'A Day After Tomorrow', and 'Meet the Fockers'." Mackenzie suggested, still going through all of the DVD's. "And 'Walking Tall'."

"That's at least five hours worth of movies." Benjamin mused.

"No. It's seven hours and two minutes." Mackenzie replied. At Benjamin's raised eyebrow she said, "What? Not all movies are only an hour or an hour and a half. 'A Day After Tomorrow' is a little over two hours and 'Meet the Fockers' is almost two hours."

"So you're telling me that we'll be here pretty much all day?"

"Yea." Mackenzie replied looking around for the remote for the DVD player.

"Hope your dad doesn't mind us eating his food, and drinking his drinks." Benjamin sighed, looking through the small run down kitchen, pulling out cups and a bowl out of random cupboards.

"I highly doubt he would." Mackenzie replied. "Uh ha! Found the DVD remote." Looking at Benjamin Mackenzie asked, "What are you doing?"

Benjamin smiled at her from behind the counter. "Making popcorn."

"My dad had popcorn?"

"Surprisingly yes."

Mackenzie laughed, "Pick a number between one and four."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"Ok...uh...three."

"We're watching 'Walking Tall' first." Mackenzie stated as she turned the tv on, and put the DVD in the DVD player.

"Sounds good. What do you want to drink?"

"Anything." Mackenzie sighed getting comfortable on the couch. "Now hurry up. I want to start the movie."

"I'm coming. Just hold your horses." Benjamin said, taking two cans of pop out of the fridge.

"But I don't have any horses, Benji." Mackenzie replied.

Benjamin shook his head as he sat down beside Mackenzie on the couch. Handing her a can of pop he asked, "What time is it?"

"Almost twelve."

"So we'll be done by seven tonight."

"If we start the movie now, and don't take too many breaks in between the movies. We will probably be done by then. Now can I start the movie?"

"Yea." Mackenzie selected Play, and as the movie started Benjamin said, "Wait... I have to go to the bathroom."

Glaring at Benjamin, Mackenzie said, "You're kidding me right?"

"Yea...I wanted to see how you'd react."

"Uh..huh. Now shut up and watch the movie." Mackenzie said, before stuffing a hand full of popcorn in her mouth. That's exactly what Benjamin did.

Eight hours later Mackenzie and Benjamin were lying down on the couch wrapped in a really old blanket, watching 'A Day After Tomorrow'. "You know," Mackenzie started, "We could of already been done this movie, instead of just starting it."

"It's not my fault someone decided to take forever in the bathroom."

"Well it's not my fault the door wouldn't open." Mackenzie shot back.

"Sure blame the door."

"You know Benji I'd hit you right now, but you and this thin blanket are the only things that are keeping me warm at the moment, so I won't."

"Then I guess I'm lucky."

"Can you be quiet now? I want to watch the movie."

"Hey you're the one who started talking." Benjamin pointed out.

"And I'm the one who's going to stop the talking." Mackenzie stated.

The room fell into silence for another fifteen minutes before the door opened and Alec walked in asking, "How many movies did the two of you watch?"

Mackenzie looked up and said, "This is the fourth movie."

"And it's taken you a little over eight hours to do that?" Alec questioned.

"No." Benjamin replied. "Mackenzie decided to take twenty minutes in the bathroom between two of them, leaving a thirty minute gap."

"How many times do I have to tell you the door was stuck?" Mackenzie growled from where she lied on the couch beside Benjamin.

"How many times do you have to blame the poor door? It's not the doors fault." Benjamin laughed.

"Well the door does tend to stick sometimes." Alec stated.

"Thank you for backing me up." Mackenzie smiled. "Now can everyone stop talking, so that I can watch my movie."

"Sorry." Alec and Benjamin said at the same time.

Alec sat down in the old lazy boy sitting off to the side. "What movie you watching anyway?"

"'A Day After Tomorrow'. Now be quiet." Mackenzie muttered.

The three sat and watched 'A Day After Tomorrow'. Well Alec and Benjamin watched it until it ended, Mackenzie fell asleep half way through it.

"So she yells at us for talking, because she wants to watch the move, and then she ends up falling asleep." Alec said, as he stood up and stretched.

"She tends to do that." Benjamin replied. "It would be nice if I could get up. I've been lying here for the past three or four hours, and I have officially lost feeling in my right arm."

"I'm not that heavy, Benji." Mackenzie mumbled.

"Are you awake? Or are you talking in your sleep?" Benjamin questioned.

"I'm talking in my sleep. What do you think?" Mackenzie replied.

"Well since your eyes are closed, I could believe that you're talking in your sleep."

"Do you really think I'd reply to your stupid comments if I was talking in my sleep, Benji?"

"Oh, someone's in a cranky mood. And, yes, I do think you'd reply to my comments in your sleep." Benjamin replied. "Now since you're awake can you please get up, so that I can get up?"

"What if I told you I was comfortable?"

"I'd tell you too bad, because if you don't get up soon, I'm gonna push you off the couch." Benjamin threatened.

"You wouldn't." Mackenzie replied, opening her eyes.

"Do you want to try me?"

"Uh...no..." Mackenzie said, getting off the couch.

"I knew that would work." Benjamin laughed standing up.

Mackenzie hit him in the arm, "You're mean." She turned to Alec and said, "Thank you for letting us spend the day here. We better head back to my place, we'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok. Be at HQ by ten tomorrow morning." Alec replied.

"Will do." Mackenzie smiled giving Alec a hug. "Bye."

"Bye Mackenzie. Bye Benjamin."

"Bye Alec." Benjamin replied, as Mackenzie and himself left Alec's apartment.

"I'll race you back to the apartment." Mackenzie challenged as they left the building.

"And what do I get if I beat you?" Benjamin questioned.

"Um... How about winner gets twenty bucks?" Mackenzie suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Benjamin replied.

"Ok. On the count of three. One..." Mackenzie said.

"Two..."

"Three..." Mackenzie said as she took off down the street.

"That's not fair!" Benjamin yelled as he ran after her. "You cheated!"

Mackenzie laughed as she ran up the stairs to the apartment, she could still hear Benjamin behind her. When she opened the door, she was tackled to the ground before she could walk in. She rolled on her back, to see who had tackled her. Benjamin had a hand on either side of Mackenzie's head, propping himself up. "Looks like it's a tie." Benjamin smiled.

"Yea well you cheated." Mackenzie replied.

"So did you." Benjamin replied, not moving.

"Then I guess we're even." Mackenzie smiled.

"Since we both get to keep our twenty bucks, what's the prize for a tie?" Benjamin questioned.

"How about a kiss." Mackenzie suggested with a smile.

"I think I can do that." Benjamin replied, leaning down, his lips meeting with Mackenzie's. Mackenzie wrapped her arms around Benjamin's neck, as she deepened the kiss.

Mackenzie was the one who pulled away, when a sudden thought hit her. "You know if it wasn't for us coming to the past, we might of never gotten together."

"Yea." Benjamin replied, rolling off Mackenzie onto his back.

"What happens when we go back though? You said that we're not going to remember coming here, or the old future. What if we're not together when we go back Benji? What if we're not even friends?"

"Us not friends? That doesn't sound right Kenzie. You know our parents, they wouldn't let us not be friends. And if we're not together, we'll end up together soon or later."

"How can you be sure?" Mackenzie questioned sitting up, and closing the door with her foot.

"We managed to get together now didn't we?" Benjamin replied, also sitting up.

"But..."

"Don't worry Mackenzie. It'll all work out." Benjamin cut her off. "It will all be fine. I promise you Mackenzie."

With a sigh Mackenzie said, "I should probably go get some sleep, tomorrow's going be a long day."

"I'll probably be awake all night." Benjamin replied, standing up.

"See that's what I don't get. Both of our mom's had 'shark' DNA. Yet, you inherited it, and I didn't."

"That's because I'm special and you're not." Benjamin laughed, helping Mackenzie up.

"Yea. You're special with a capital R." Mackenzie smirked.

"That hurts Mackenzie."

"I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings Benjamin." Mackenzie said, giving Benjamin a hug.

"Apology accepted."

"Good. Now come lie down with me."

"What?"

"It's better then you being bored, lying on the couch by yourself. We can talk until one of us passes out. Even though we both know it will most likely be me who passes out. So come on." Mackenzie dragged Benjamin into the bedroom. Letting go off his arm she dug through the small pile of clothes in the room, and picked up a pair of sweats and baggy t-shirt. "I'm going to go change, I'll be right back."

"You do that." Benjamin sighed, lying down on the bed, and staring at the ceiling. 'What if Mackenzie's right?' Benjamin thought to himself. 'What if we aren't friends in the future? What if everything is completely different, and we're enemies?'

"Penny for your thoughts?" Mackenzie questioned, sliding into the bed beside Benjamin.

"My thoughts are worth a lot more." Benjamin replied.

"Not as much as mine though." Mackenzie laughed, as she used Benjamin's chest for a pillow.

"Your thoughts do tend to be expensive a lot of the time. Don't they?"

"What can I say? I like to feel special."

"I've noticed that. So excited about tomorrow?"

"I don't know if excited is the right word Benji. Maybe anxious or freaked out."

"You're probably right there." Benjamin sighed. "Can't believe the supply run is tomorrow."

"I know me neither. It's going to be quite an interesting day." Mackenzie yawned.

"It's going to be interesting and successful."

"Or at least we both hope it will."

"Yea. But I'm sure it will be. Everything will be great in the future, and we won't have anything to worry about."

"What happens if we have our memories from now and what the future once was, instead of the memories we should have?" Mackenzie questioned.

"I highly doubt that's possible Kenzie."

"But you never know. Haven't you watched 'Butterfly Effect'?"

"Mackenzie he had some of the memories he should have."

"Yea, flashes of those memories. Not all of them though. What if that happens to us?"

"I highly doubt that will happen."

"I bet you fifty bucks something like it will happen."

"Ok. So when we get back to the future, if we remember this, and not what we should, of if we only have bits of the memories we should I'll give you fifty bucks."

"Sounds good to me."

"Good now why don't you get some sleep. Don't want you to be cranky in the morning."

"Yea, 'cause me cranking is just so horrible."

"Personally I think so."

"You're so cruel to me Benji."

"You're the one who's cruel to me Kenzie."

"Yea, but you see I'm younger then you. I have a right to be cruel."

"You wish."

"I wish you'd be quiet so that I can get some sleep." Mackenzie laughed.

"Fine I'll shut up."

"Goodnight Benji."

"Goodnight Kenzie." Benjamin said, kissing the top of Mackenzie's head.

Benjamin lied there and watched Mackenzie sleep for a few hours, before he closed his eyes, to try to get a couple hours shut eye himself. After all tomorrow was going to be one eventful day. Possibly even more eventful then the two believed it was going to be.

AN: Supply run next chapter... It will hopefully be posted next week around the same time, but we'll see. Leave a review!

burgandy3721: You know I could of kept going with the story without Mackenzie if you think about it. Benjamin finishes the supply run alone and goes back to the future... where Mackenzie is... because you know her dying in the past... may not effect the future to much.

suenooneus: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. :D Hope you liked this one.
