Disclaimer: ...uh-oh! I think I broke him!
Hopefully, you sharper ones have already picked up on the hints I've been dropping. Maybe this chapter will clarify where a certain someone's loyalties lie ;)
Guys, I have decided it is too hard to have plot in every single chapter like I was going to try. Therefore, if you guys don't mind fluff in between chappies, I can update a WHOLE lot more
Today's song is 'The Ghost in You' by Counting Crows.

(Lee has ported Avril to the moon, where they sit in silence until...)
LEE: So what're you going to do?
AVRIL: ...I don't know. I can't give up my wizardry, not after all that's happened...I have to pay back the energy invested in me before I choose anything.
LEE: In other words, you're going to do what They say?
AVRIL: In other words, Lee, I don't know. (Silence returns, and then she asks in a quieter voice) So, what's your reason for sticking with me? Everyone else thinks They're right...why are you any different?
LEE: Well...I guess...
A man in my shoes runs a liar,
And all the papers lie tonight
that falling over you is the news of the day.
The angels fall like rain,
and your love is all of heaven away.
Inside you time moves and she don't fade
AVRIL: She? She who?
LEE: You could say she's kind of like a ghost...sometimes she shows herself, sometimes she doesn't, but she's always there–The Advocate I mean.
The ghost in you, she don't fade. The race is on, I'm on your side, but hearing you my engines die,
I'm in the mood for you, for running away.
AVRIL: You think we should leave?....can we? Would there be any way to escape them?
LEE: There is always a way. Maybe the Lone One could help...
AVRIL: (Horrified) You're actually suggesting I should go to It for help?! It created death and entropy! It is the whole reason I became a wizard!
LEE: Come on, Avril. Haven't you noticed anything about death? It is never the end, and it makes way for renewal and new life! Entropy isn't evil; almost exactly the opposite. Slowing it down is honorable, but trying to stop it is like trying to cut off your air supply. Just because there might be a few downfalls to dying, it doesn't make the process bad.
AVRIL: ...how can you say all that? If I died today, could you honestly say that you wouldn't hate entropy for it?
LEE: Hate's a strong word, Av. You can bet that I'd mourn for a long time, and probably be really mad at the world...but you'd be in Timeheart. A better place than this old earth....(Hesitates) But I might come close to hating it.
Oh the stars come down in you
And love, love, love, can't give it away
Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away
The ghost in you, she don't fade. So don't you go, cause it makes no sense and when all your talking supermen
Just take away the time, just to get it away.
Ain't it just like the rain?
Cause love, love, love, love, is only heaven away.
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away.
Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade
The ghost in you, she don't fade away. The man in my shoes runs a liar, and all the papers lie tonight
That falling over you is the news of the day.
And love, will not fade away.
And love, love, love, will not fade away.
(Avril stands up and sighs)
AVRIL: I've got to go back eventually. They can't make me stop believing what I want to believe, but I won't give up the wizardry either. I'll just have to pretend for a little while...just until I figure out what to do.
LEE: It might be a mistake...
AVRIL: You're on my side right? (He nods) Then just stick it out with me. If things don't work, then we'll think of something then. Just don't make things harder than they already are, okay?
LEE: Okay, but I'm ready to leave the second you change your mind.
(Avril sighs and they go back to Earth, deciding to pretend like nothing is wrong.)
