Recap: "Eclipse? That's Eclipse? We're doomed!"

A favor

Eclipse laughed smiled at Johnny. "We're not doomed! It's me!"

The younger Eclipse raised an eyebrow at the woman. "Sorry Tawny. But I'm trying to eat my pizza. So if you'll excuse me..." She turned and started to walk up the stairs that Johnny never noticed. Eclipse ran after her, grabbing and dragging Johnny after her. They ran up the stairs, following the teenager Eclipse. Johnny started counting floors. "One... Two..." and he counted. And counted and counted some more. The teenager Eclipse reached a ceiling. Johnny looked at Eclipse. "That's it? There's no more!" Eclipse was watching the younger version. The younger version pushed the ceiling, and a trap door opened.

"Oh great! More stairs." They climbed up the spiral, gasping or breath. The teenager Eclipse reached a ceiling again, and opened a trap door. She climbed in and left the door open. Eclipse and Johnny fell over, gasping. Eclipse looked at Johnny. "Man! I need to work out more. Hell! that was a work out!"

Johnny sat up and looked at the room. It was incredibly messy, with stuff everywhere. There was a bed, and then higher up, there was a hammock. A desk was tucked in a corner; a black computer was hardly visible through the mounds of paper on the desk. The teenager Eclipse was in fact pushing the papers off the desk to make way for the pizza. Wait a minute. He knew that desk. It was the same one that she had in her room in the other dimension. He laughed to himself. Does this kid ever leave her room? She kicked a tower of boxes over and there was a mini-fridge. She opened it and pulled out a soda. He turned to Eclipse. "What time is it?"

"Um... Seven a.m."

"Who eats pizza and drinks soda at seven am?"

"I do."

"Well. That would depend on the type of pizza... is it extra cheese?"

Eclipse stretched her neck. "Yes it is."

"Oh. Its okay then. But... How do we get her to see us if no one can?"

The teenager Eclipse turned on her computer and AIM popped up.

Eclipse looked at Johnny. "Do you have an AIM?"

"NO. Don't we need a computer?"

"I have my laptop! We'll make you an AIM, and then you can talk to her. I mean me; I mean... you get it."

They sat in a blank spot on the floor and Eclipse reached into a pocket. She pulled out a small, flat rectangle. She pressed a button, and lo and behold, it was a laptop. She flipped it open, went to the AIM site, turned the screen away from Johnny and typed. He sighed and looked at the teenager Eclipse. Now that he looked, he noticed how skinny she was, and that she had what appeared to be tattoos, the same ones Eclipse had. He looked at the older Eclipse. She had been wearing his trench coat; it was now in her lap. He looked at her left arm. There was a sun tattoo, with four rays that were curved. Around her neck, she had a criss- cross pattern and on her left side, there was a rose. On the teen, the same.

"There! Done." He looked at Eclipse. She handed him the laptop. A blank chat room was already open. Apparently, he was Jthm777. He looked at Eclipse. "Ooh! That's original!"

"Oh hush! Say hi."

He typed. "Hi." He looked at Eclipse. "Why do I feel like a pedophile?"

"I dunno. Look! She answered."

Veraldaine396536:Um... hi?

Jthm777: a friend and I need a favor from you.

Veraldaine396536: Define.

Veraldaine396536: A time traveling portal.

JTHM777: Hey! Eclipse! Get out of here!

Veraldaine396536: Sorry Johnny. (Exits chat)

Veraldaine396536: What just happened? I can't talk to myself.

Jthm777: Um... ignore that. It never happened.

Veraldaine396536: Okay. Ignored. A time traveling portal? Why should I get one for you? And where are you anyway?

Jthm777: ... Behind you.

Veraldaine396536: No way. I'd see you.

Johnny turned and looked at Eclipse. She chewed a nail. She said, "Type Aura check is in order."

Jthm777: An aura check is in order.

The teen turned and looked around the room. Her eyes were glowing gold. She turned back to the computer.

Veraldaine396536: You said there were two of you. I only saw a red aura.

Johnny looked at Eclipse. She scowled. "Type: One can't see one's own aura."

Jthm777: One can't see one's own aura.

Veraldaine396536: Huh? Wait a minute! If one can't see one's aura and there are two of you... one of you is me?

Jthm777: Smart kid!

Veraldaine396536: Are you from the future?

Veraldaine396536: Yes mine Rakastaa! We are from the future! Johnny and I! That's why we need a time travel portal.

Jthm777: Eclipse! I thought-

Veraldaine396536: Okay! (Exits chat again)

Jthm777: Sorry. But what she said.

Veraldaine396536: Okay. I'll help. But you to have to do something for me.

Jthm777: Fine. What is it?

Veraldaine396536: Clean my room. Without magic.

Jthm777: Does super speed count?

Veraldaine396536: no.

Johnny looked at Eclipse. She nodded and dissapeared. All around them, things were put together. Eclipse reappeared next to Johnny. He looked around the room. Now that he saw it better, he realized that it looked sort of like Eclipse's room in the other dimension. The walls were red and the floor a black carpet. On one side, there was a bed, and hanging from the high ceiling, there was a hammock. Windows lined the room, and th ceiling didnt exsist, instead, there was glass. On the windowsills, there were insence burners, and figureines. There were three doors, and two dresseers. In fact, there was two of everything in the room. Through an open door, he saw a pure white room, with a single white, grand piano, and a hispanic gutair; through an other door, there was a darrker room, with paintings and an eisel.

Jthm777: Turn around.

The teenager turned and looked. The room was already sparkling clean. Everything was clean and put away. The teen stared. She turned around and looked at the keyboard. She frowned. "I can't see them, but can I feel them?" She turned and got on her knees.

Johnny raised his eye brows. The younger Eclipse was on her knees, holding her hands out. He looked at Eclipse. "Eclipse, your younger self has gone mad."

"Um..."

Johnny felt something touch his shoes. He looked and the teen was holding his boots. She ran a hand over his boots, feeling the cloven hoof. She went over a bit and touched Eclipse's combat boots. She went up and touched Eclipse's leg. She raised an eyebrow and gasped when Eclipse leaned over and gently shoved her. The teen scrambled over to her computer.

Veraldaine396536: who is wearing the coolio cloven boots?

Jthm777: I am. Eclipse has the combat boots. Oh yeah. She wants to know if you can see us now.

She turned and looked. A thin guy with yellowish skin, blue hair, and amber eyes in all black with a laptop, a thin lady with black hair down to her ankles, black and red lips, in a short black and red skirt, a black tank top, and combat boots, holding a black trench coat.

Veraldaine396536: Yeah.

Eclipse smiled and looked at Johnny. "See? I told you."

"Uh-huh."

The teen turned and looked at Eclipse. "Okay. I'll get you a portal. But we can't open it in the city. We'll go to Kuu Felcsillanás Creek!"

Eclipse groaned. "Oh man! Why that Creek?"

Johnny looked at her. "Translation?"

"Moon Glimmer Creek."
