Time's Up
Chapter 5: Starting Over
-- Thursday 7:15 a.m. --
"Oh Phil…" Pim Diffy stared at the note on her brother's desk in disbelief.
So he finally realized what was in front of him the whole time. Despite herself Pim smiled, those two had been dancing around each other for years. On some level unknown to even Pim herself, knowing that her brother was happy, made her happy. In the four years since coming this backwards century Pim had matured quite a bit. But this was putting even her new found maturity to the test, she had a choice to make, did she rat Phil and Keely out or help them gain the life they really wanted?
Rereading the letter once more, Pim knew this was for the best, for whatever reason if Phil ever lost Keely he'd be completely devastated. She just couldn't do that to him. Sure she enjoyed teasing Phil, picking on Phil, and generally messing his life up, but this would do permanent damage. Placing the letter back on the desk, Pim said a silent prayer for her brother and "sister-in-law." You've got a head-start guys, so I hope you use it.
Checking her watch Pim realized now she would be late for school, so taking one last glance at her brother's room she walked out closing the door behind her. Good Luck Phil.
-- Thursday 7:30 a.m. --
"Keely! You're going to be late!" Again. Mandy Teslow added mentally as she yelled up the stairs the fifth time that mourning. That Diffy boy must have kept her out late…again.
Quite frankly, Mandy just didn't like her daughter's "best friend." She just didn't trust Phil, or at least not like Keely did. For her daughter's sake Mandy hoped that all that trust was well-founded.
Shaking her head Mandy glanced at the clock on the wall, she had to get to work she had an appointment at eight. "Keely I'm leaving. Don't forget school starts in fifteen minutes." With that Mandy left her daughter to her own devices.
-- Thursday 11:57 a.m. --
"I am now officially standing in two places at the same time." Keely proclaimed proudly as she looked around the small apartment. Their small apartment, her's and Phil's new home. The apartment really wasn't much, a small kitchen that let right into the sitting room, of which Keely was now standing, one bedroom and a small bathroom. The place did come furnished so that was a major plus. It had enough furniture to make the place the place very livable, but was missing just enough so they could turn it into theirs. She and Phil could turn this from an apartment into a home, their home. Keely still couldn't believe all this was happening, her dreams were coming true.
"So Keel what you think?" Phil asked coming out of the bedroom.
Keely smiled brightly, "I love it."
Phil smiled back at his girlfriend; there was just something about her smile that was contagious. He still didn't understand how he ever found someone as perfect as her.
Keely noticed that he was just staring at her, "What?"
"Huh?" Phil replied coming out of his daze, "Oh, I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you."
Keely blushed, "Thanks Phil."
"I should be the one thanking you, if you hadn't known that real-estate friend of your mom's we wouldn't have found this place."
"Yeah. Your right, you should be thanking me." Keely replied with a grin, "I am the brains of this operation."
"Really…"
"Of course, I'm the total package. I not only have brains, but I have beauty and a great personality."
"You really do seem to think quite highly of yourself don't you Keel?" Phil replied teasingly.
"Are you going to argue you with me, Philly-Willy?" Keely batted her lashes at him.
"Well, no but you did forget one thing."
"Yeah what's that?"
"You're very ticklish." Phil replied and jumped at Keely.
Keely squealed and the two teens proceeded to chase each other around the apartment. The chase finally ended quite a bit later when Phil pinned Keely to the couch.
"Stop…I surrender…" Keely got out breathlessly between giggles.
"Are you ever going to call me Philly-Willy again?"
"No…I won't…"
"Ok then." Phil replied with a smile and stopped the tickle attack. They both just laid on the couch and Phil wrapped his arm around Keely's waist.
Keely sighed contented. "I love you, Philly-Willy."
Phil smiled, "I love you too."
"Hey Phil."
"Yeah Keel?"
"I'm really happy here."
"Me too Keel, me too…"
A/N: Hi again. I'm really sorry if this chapter was below your expectations, I've had quite a bit of trouble writing it. I hope they weren't too out of character. I'm sorry for the long wait again, if anyone is still reading this, just so you know I've already started on chapter 6. I'll try to get it posted MUCH sooner than this one. Oh and if you could leave a non-flaming review I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again!
