Right,sorry this has taken me so long,but I've been busy with various things. I think you guys will like this one.

Jane got out of bed only half awake,glanced in the mirror,and laughed at her appearance: she was rocking a serious bedhead and still in her clothes from yesterday,now extremely wrinkled. She stumbled to her closet,grabbed some clothes,and pulled on a too-large shirt and jeans-casual and comfortable.

Proceding to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth,combed her hair,and the rest of that hygene stuff. By now she was more awake and alert. She stepped down the stairs,went to the kitchen,and ate a pop-tart. Then she pulled on her shoes,grabbed a knife,and opened a portal. Concentrating on a very familiar place, she stepped through into Myrnin's lab.

"Myrnin?" Jane called. He entered out of his bedroom,in only jeans with wet hair and a grin. "Jane! What a surprise! I loved the movie. I put you in your bed when it ended;I hope you didn't mind."

"Of course not. So what are you doing today?" She asked as she hopped up on a lab table. She wasn't too bothered by him shirtless; they were best friends and just that close. "I am running experiments on transition metals and- well,it's a long explanation," He finished.

She nodded,"Very cool. Can I hang out here? I promise to probably stay in your way,"She smiled.

"Yes,I'd like company,even if you are afoot," He grinned also. "I'll be back momentarily." And he sped into his bedroom.

She settled into one of the two armchairs in the corner. He came out seconds later in a white pirate-style shirt. It suited him. He began tinkering with the glass,wires,chemicals, and other items on the tables. She sat there watching him,her thoughts zooming around. And she thought,'What if I..' She threw the thought out as soon as she completed it. But then her mind was swarmed with reasons why she should and she just had to get them out. "Myrnin,sorry,but do you have some paper and a pencil I can have?" He nodded and handed her a new notebook and a pen before zooming back to his work.

She spent awhile writing-until all her thoughts were out-and then proceded to try to draw Myrnin. She spent 2 hours and drew at least 20 pictures of him,and they all came out looking nothing like even a person. Then she fell asleep. When she woke,he was in the other armchair reading some dusty old book. She panicked and sat up,then calmed down when she saw the notebook in the same position it was. "Are you alright,my dear?" He asked.

She swallowed and answered,"Yeah,I'm fine." She became lost in her thoughts and didn't realize she was staring into space until Myrnin inquired if she was okay again. "Yeah,just thinking."

She picked up a random book to distract herself,but it was written in Welsh so she sighed and put it down. "Did you get far on your experiment?" She decided to make small talk.

"Yes,it's going well. A few more tests and it should be completed,"He sounded pleased.

"That's great. Have you spoken with Amelie since the hospital?" She crept closer to her actual question,still debating asking it.

"Yes,why?" He asked,curiosity spiked.

She thought What the hell and threw it out there: "I think I need a meeting with Amelie,Oliver,and yourself soon."

"Why? Is something wrong?" He looked sincerely concerned.

"Not really. I just have a matter for discussion-yes,it's important."

"Alright,I'll speak to Amelie this evening and attempt to arrange one soon." He looked confused,and she could tell he was trying to work it out in his mind.

"Thank you,Myrnin. I think I'm going to go home. Come by-because I know you dislike phones-and let me know what she says." She ripped her pages form the notebook,stood,smiled,and stepped through the portal. He sat in his armchair another hour trying to figure it out. He still came up with nothing plausible.

He gave up and created a portal to Amelie's office. She was as puzzled as he was,but agreed for tomorrow at 3PM. He went back to his lab and worked on experiments to get his mind off of the whole confounding matter. During this time,Jane was staring down a wall in her house,trying to decide if she really wanted to go through with this. End the end,she decided,this was her choice. It wouldn't be forever would it?

Kind of confusing at the end. It'll make sense in the next chapter. I've cut a few chapters out so we get to the better ones quicker. I'm sure you'll dislike the next one though. Anyways,thanks a lot for reading and please review.

Merci,
