Hey, it's the Sultan again. This is a special chapter. Know why? No, it's just like the other chapters… there's something special at the end. Read and review!

the real Violet Parr- I so wish I could turn invisible sometimes… like if you know you're going to be made a fool of in class… thanks for reviewing.

CiTyGrL0912- Curtis cookie now! I just thought of when Curtis said that when Pim was cheating with invisible ink, and I started laughing out loud. I think I probably looked really crazy to anybody who saw it. Mmm... Cookies... Yeah, you can have one. You made me hungry.

Jquest87- AWESOMENESS! I like that word. I originally planned on updating this chapter tomorrow, but then I knew I'd forget what I was going to do.

Read and review! It gives me a nice feeling to know that people are actually reading this stuff!

That night, Phil reclined on Keely's floor, looking at the ceiling. He thought she was asleep, until she asked him something. "You know… You know I'd never leave you, if I was given the choice, right, Phil?"

"Of course I do, Keely," he said, smiling at the fact that she still cared about him.

The two remained silent, trying to ignore the obvious problem at hand. Trying to pretend that it didn't affect them. That it didn't bother them.

That they'd be able to work it out. Pretending it wasn't real.

But this wasn't a TV show. This wasn't some virtual reality.

This was real life. This was actually happening to them. They couldn't just ignore what was happening all around them any less than they could ignore the other's presence.

"Phil… were you going to tell me something earlier today? When you met me backstage?"

Phil racked his brain. Yeah, he was going to tell her something alright. "I'm not sure if I should."

"Why not?" Phil was usually pretty open about his emotions. She couldn't imagine why he'd shut her out now, unless he was bitter about her leaving him.

"It's just… I'm not sure if it'd be good to say, given your current situation."

"Just go ahead, Phil. I won't kill you or anything."

Phil laughed a bit at that, and that seemed to give him some confidence. "Well, Keely, I guess I'll tell you the truth." He took a deep breath, and continued. "I thank the Gods for every time I can lay my eyes on your unassuming beauty. I'm grateful for every moment we spend together.

"I can pretend to be strong without you, but I know I'd be changed inside. That's never happened before, at least not with somebody that isn't in my family. I feel that you're the ground beneath my feet, and the air that I breathe. I will miss you, if you go. I'll miss everything about you. I love you, Keely, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Phil thought Keely was remaining silent, but tears were streaming down her face. He isn't lying, is he? she thought. Everybody lies…

(But not about something as serious as this)

"I guess I just wanted you to know," he said, quietly, turning on his side.

"Oh, Phil," Keely whispered, remembering something she had once written, " 'If one day, life tears you away from me, if you die, and are far from me, little matters to me if you love me, because I would die too…' ."

"What was that Keely?" he asked, having only heard a whisper.

"I…" Keely cleared her throat, and spoke up. "I'd do anything if you asked me to. I'd disavow my homeland. I'd disavow my friends… I'd dye my hair black, if you asked me to."

Phil smiled. It was great to konw that Keely still cared about him.Something told Phil he might just be waiting for her when she came back. He felt he'd do anything to stay with her.

"How long will you be gone?" he asked, thinking of just that.

"Probably about a year or two… That's why I figured you would have the time machine fixed… You'd be able to help your dad more. By the time I'd get back, it'd be long fixed, and… you'd be…" Keely seemed to be getting choked up.

"Gone," Phil finished her sentence for her. Gone forever, he added mentally, as his the idea of fate toyed with his mind for the rest of the night.

Read and review! It's so appreciated!
This is the special part I was talking about at the beginning. I was just thinking of what to do with the story, and I was looking around the internet, and then I decided to do this.

The following are the origins and meanings of several names of POTF characters.

Keely -derived from Celtic/Gaelic, meaning beauty
-derived from Irish, meaning lovely

Phil -Greek, lover of horses (Remember he lied about this to Alice Da Luca?)
-short for Phillip, the name of Sleeping Beauty's prince… Certainly does a lot for the show's mythology, doesn't it?

Tia -Spanish, princess

Barbara -Greek, foreigner (she is from the future... that's kind of foreign)

Lloyd -Welsh, gray-haired

Debbie -short for Deborah- Hebrew, honey bee (Debbie seems to be quite the sweet kid. Sweet… honey?)

Candida -Latin, pure/bright... alternately, a shining leader… certainly a great description

Myinvented Keely sister-"Bonnie" is Celtic/Gaelic for "Pretty Girl." But she's not in the show…

Explanation of the names…

Pim- Balanced and fair-minded, possesses the ability to use sound reason and judgement when determined and decisive action is required. Persuasive and logical, tends to be an influential figure in the circle of friends and associates. Extremely adaptable and this is necessary as you seem to be continually being presented with decisions of a life altering nature.

Via- Very intelligent, broad-minded and a good listener. An ideas person, with a wonderful creative imagination who is always seeking practical applications to apply this to. Enjoys sensual pleasures and with a natural restless nature and liking for adventure life is rarely dull withher around.

I've got some last name analyses lined up for next time, so let me know if you want me to write those at the end author note of the next chapter. If you do, add any POTF related names you're curious about (first or last). If you can't prove it's POTF related, I won't look it up.It's nothing personal-I'm too lazy to do any name you send in.
