NewsieFreak172: You're not the only one who had a mental break down when they learned I was going to band camp. (Yes it scared the crap out of me. Sorry… little Catholic school girl going to be public school kind of traumatizing.) You're right about Spot and Perch. You'll see soon.

Jockey/Gracie: it's going to be a while until you show up in this story… But I promise you will be in it. And Yes I agree that Band Camp can be evil. But it is much fun when I hit the Band major's car with my friend's flag and set of the car alarm. Anyway keep reading…

Love Across Time

Chapter 24: Do I Sense Romance?

The Rivenshire Inn was a homely place. Just imagine the idea Inn and that is Rivenshire. The owner Mr. Aubrey… or Cap'n Jack as I call him… is a very close friend. So I knew that the boys would be safe.

Cap'n Jack had put the boys in the East Wing. The reason for this was because the East wing has a back door that opens onto the street behind the building and you can't tell this by looking at it from the street.

Before we entered the room in which the boys were staying I stopped Mush. "Listen to these boys it is still the night that you died. You are the same Mush they know and love. Well you know what I mean." I added at the look he gave me from that last remark. "You are not a Weasel… alright. Act as you did before I turned you."

"So quiet, kind, innocent, and friendly." He stated.

I nodded the dragged him into room 108.

"MUSH!" screamed three male voices. I have expected them to hug him but since that was against the Newsie Code of Manliness it wasn't going to happen.

They were all surprised, to say the least, to see Mush completely unharmed. "B-but how?"

"I'm magic Blink. That should explain it well enough."

"Must be some really powerful magic. Mush was almost dead when we left him." Stated Racetrack. I shrugged. Best to be modest.

Blink and Race both started asking Mush all of these insane questions. Such as… "Did it hurt?", "Did you see the light?", "Are you going to turn green?", and others like these.

I noticed that Jack was not looking at Mush but me. I walked over to him. "Why so quiet Mr. Kelly?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. It's just… all of this is happened so fast. I mean we found out like… last week that magic exists. But I'm not scared or freaked or anything like that when I know I should be."

Now that was a hard question. "Why feeling the jet lag now?"

"I guess seeing Mush like that then seeing him completely healed in less than 8 hours kinda got me thinking." I was surprised he got the meaning of jet lag right. But to top that off he wasn't done speaking his mind. "I guess not being scared of something this big is what is really getting me scared."

I nodded. I knew exactly what he was talking about. But luckily I had an explanation. "We're all made with a purpose. I guess since yours is magic you would find the presence of magic less disturbing than the lace of."

"In English please."

"Simple you're made for, to use, and to create magic." He still looked slightly confused. "This world, my world, is where you and several of your friends belong. And like it or not this world will always make more sense to you because it is were you belong."

"So basically since I'm meant for magic it just makes sense to me?"

"Yes."

He shook his head and muttered. "I still can't believe this is happening to me."

I put a hand on his shoulder. "It's alright to feel lost and caught in something you can't stop. The first few days or months even of Magical Exposure are like that. I felt the same way when I was your age."

"Really?"

"Yes all magical creatures go through what you're going through now. Even the evil ones." That seemed to reassure him because he turned to what the other boys goof off. I took my hand from his shoulder. Then without thinking took his hand in mine. He turned to look at me. He smiled.

Why on earth did my heart just do that weird back flip? I guess that kiss still remains unforgotten.

۞

It was almost 2am by the time I got back to the Loft. I was tired… But happy. I had stolen a kiss from Jack before I left them tonight. And I must say that in all of my 616 years I have never felt this happy at this time of night. I was almost skipping on my way to the Loft.

And the sight tat greeted me when I got their made my night even better…

I found Spot and Perch curled up together on the couch. I practically danced for joy. Perch has been looking for that special someone for almost as long as I have. And it looks like she's found what she's been looking for in none other tan Spot Conlon.

And it looks like we both have hit gold tonight.
