We had returned to the throne room and were just enjoying each other's company. I wasn't needed anywhere and neither was Loki. We spent most of the afternoon playing around and flirting. Our favourite thing to do was pick on each other; Loki is the God of mischief after all. We also enjoy sparring with each other; the throne room was the perfect size for a good sparring match. Our latest match ended with Loki pinned on the ground with me sitting on him. We were both out of breath.

"Loki, did you let me win this round?" I asked, trying to catch my breath.

"Ha-ha no actually. You really did beat me. I must have stepped wrong somewhere."

"What would you do if I kissed you right now?" we never kissed out in public for fear of being seen. We only showed affection when we were in our bed chambers.

"I'd kiss you back of course. We are alone, remember?"

"You're not worried about someone coming in?" I asked, it seemed like every time we even tried to get close in here, we always got interrupted.

He answered my question by kissing me. 'No, I'm not. I'm not expecting anyone to bother us. So I think it's safe." He kissed me again, this time with more passion. We began to make out. Suddenly the doors burst open.

"Every time!" I hollered, frustrated. I quickly moved off of Loki and helped him up.

"Thor, what did Heimdall say?" He asked as he stood up and straightened his tunic.

"He could not see anything. Brother, I worry for Jane's safety. And our friends."

"If only we had cell phones in Asgard."

"Life would be somewhat easier if we did. What are we going to do?" Thor asked.

"What the hell is a cell phone?" I asked. They both looked at me with an awestruck look on their faces, like I was supposed to know. "What?"

Thor spoke up first, "It's a device used on Midgard to communicate across distances. They are quite useful."

"Oh."

"Gather Lady Sif and the warriors three and meet us at the Bifrost in thirty minutes. We are going to Midgard." Loki said to Thor. He moved next to me and put his arm around my waist as he said 'we'. Thor left and it was just the two of us again.

Loki turned to and faced me, cupping my face in his hand he said, "Melanie, will you come with me? We have been away from each other for far too long. I don't know how long I will be away and I can't imagine being away from you."

'Loki, I don't know. I've never been there before. I mean, I don't want to be away from you either but isn't Midgard like really really far from here?"

"And Vanaheim isn't? If you come I'll show you a cell phone. I have one but I leave it there with Jane, along with all of my other stuff. And you can meet all of my friends. I think that you will like Midgard." I could tell Loki really wanted me to go with him.

"Alright, I'll go because I do want to spend time with you. Do I need to pack anything? Should I wear my armor? I've never left Asgard unless it was for war."

"No you don't need to pack anything, but do wear your armor. I don't expect us to run into any trouble but I would rather you have it just in case. I don't want you getting hurt."

"Alright. Well it's in my bed chambers so I have to go get it. Meet you at the palace gates?" I ask, starting for the doors. He grabs my wrist and pulls me into a kiss.

"I love you Melanie. I'm glad you're going with."

"I love you too Loki." He lets go of me so that I can leave.

I walk to my bed chambers that are in an entirely different wing of the palace. All of the warriors live together in this wing. My chambers were nothing fancy; I had a large bed, a walk in closet and a large bathroom. I also had a balcony that overlooked the kingdom. I kept my armor in my closet, so I quickly went and got it. I grabbed my lucky necklace from my nightstand and headed out the door. I made sure that my door was locked, mostly because I didn't know how long I would be gone. I then headed to the palace gates to meet with Loki. I was really excited to go somewhere with him, but at the same time I was nervous.

When I finally got to the gates Loki was there waiting for me. He had his back turned and he was looking toward the city. He hadn't heard me coming yet. I debated on scaring him or not. I decided to do it. I carefully stepped closer, watching my footing so I wouldn't make a sound. I was right behind him, ready to pounce. Suddenly he turned around, smiled and then vanished. It was a projection; the real Loki came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on the cheek.

"Nice try Melanie, but I saw you before you got close." He said with a giggle.

'Uh, I'm going to get you one of these times. Are you ready to go?" I asked turning to face him.

"Yes, are you?"

"Yea, I think so. Let's go, Thor and the gang are probably already there." I say taking his hand and leading the way. All of a sudden he stops, "What?"

"You're wearing that necklace…." This necklace was my good luck charm. My mother had given it to me before she died. I only wore it when I was scared about a situation (which wasn't often), or nervous. Loki knew this.

"Yea, so." I tried to play cool, like it didn't matter, like I wore it every day.

"You told me you only wear that when you need your mother's strength and courage. What's wrong?"

Dang, he knew me too well. "Nothing is wrong." I lied.

"Melanie, you're lying. I can always tell when you lying." Not only was he the god of mischief, he was also the god of lies as well. I don't know why I even bother trying to lie to him. "Now what's wrong?" he asked again.

"I don't know, Loki. I'm scared for some reason; like I'm scared something bad is going to happen. I've never been to Midgard, I don't know what to expect. I don't like not knowing. I always know what to expect when we go to war. I'm not good with the unknown, I'm good at fighting. What if the rumors are true and we-" Loki cut me off by putting a long slender finger to my lips to silence me.

"Stop. Everything will be fine. I'll protect you if anything happens, and I will always be with you once we are there. I promise. Just relax okay?" He took me into his arms and gave me a reassuring hug. He let go but kept hold of my hand. We then began walking towards the Bifrost. We soon arrived and sure enough Thor and his gang were there. Heimdall started the Bifrost and soon we were on our way to Midgard.
