Chapter 2: It Resumes

The young guardians, Caleb, and Blunk stared at the new and improved Will Vandom as she looked over the horizon. She looked the exact same. Her face hadn't seemed to age much. Her skin was still flawless, her eyes still shone with a light that commanded attention and respect. Even though the long red wet locks, had to be heavy, even though she had to be freezing, her held was held high.

The height, the hair, and the body is what threw them off at first, but now they could clearly see that it was their Will. They wondered about what she could be thinking about that had her looking so serious; so un-Will like.

After a long moment she spoke, "We should go speak to Mrs. Lin." She turned back to them smiling softly. "Maybe she will know why this happened." I just hope she doesn't deep-fry me when she finds out what I did or tried to do, she thought nervously.

"Your hair is as long as mine," Cornelia Hale declared.

"You think my hair is long, you should see yours and Hay Lin's in a few years," Will said walking back to the group. "Besides, Mom always liked my hair long . . ." her voice seemed to trail off.

"Lets head back," Caleb commanded finally speaking up. They started walking back in the direction leading to the Silver Dragon.

Hay Lin glanced at her watch. "Uh-oh," she said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Irma Lair asked.

"Will was supposed to be home five minutes ago," Hay Lin said.

"Ouch . . . well Will you can totally kiss goodbye thoughts of going to the dance," Cornelia declared.

"Not to mention, being grounded forever," Taranee Cook declared.

As they walked to the Lin's, Will ignored the looks her young friends were given her. She figured her younger self was getting the same perusal as she.

"Will got bigger!" Blunk blurted. He finally broke his stupor of confusion. They were taking back alleys so Will and Blunk would not draw any unwanted attention.

"I'm glad you noticed," she replied gracing Blunk with a smile. "I would hug ya, but I can smell you haven't grasped the concept of a bath yet."

"Blunk tried to save Will."

"Thank you." She gave him another rare bright smile. Her eyes rose to Caleb's who'd been staring at her. She made a face at him, winked playfully, and then closed her eyes. She knew the route to the restaurant by heart. She never saw Caleb blush.

"Do we ever defeat Phobos?" Taranee asked walking with her hands clasped behind her back.

"I don't think I'm supposed to give out info like that," Will answered thoughtfully. "I don't want to change anything."

"Well, is it to cataclysmic to let me know whether I was the most popular girl in school?" Cornelia asked dreamily.

"You should already know you were," Will replied. "Will be . . . or whatever."

"Are we all still together?" Irma asked hopefully.

"I-yeah we are," Will answered.

"Are you sure that our Will is in your time?" Hay Lin asked. "She may be . . . still back there somewhere."

"If I'm here healthy and humming, than odds are . . . she's fine."

Will not realizing she'd fallen inside a portal, transformed into the Guardian of Energy. Her wings flapped causing her to levitate, just about twenty feet above the water. She looked down frantically for Blunk. Something large crashed in to her from above. Will and what ever creamed her plummeted into the water below. She swam to the surface with strong strokes. She surfaced just as her attacker. Her angry spitfire gaze locked with stunned yet very familiar green eyes.

"Will," he stuttered shocked.

"Who are you?" She asked suspiciously. Okay, he looks just like Caleb, she thought. The crescent moon scar around the side of his left eye was the major difference. He also had more of a mature look going.

"Will it's me . . . Caleb," he said softly. Her wings started flapping and she took to the air. She looked down at the young man who looked so much like Caleb, but could not possibly be him.

"Yeah . . . sure you're Caleb," she replied sarcastically.

"Could we discuss this on the bridge?" He requested logically.

Ha, your voice is different. Will opened her mouth to deny the request--he was a stranger who didn't seem to care she was flying in Tinkerbell get up--but quickly saw the logic in his words. She made a descent, grabbing him under his arms. She flew back up toward the bridge. She caught sight of Blunk already on the bridge cheering them on.

How did he get up there? What in the world is going on? she thought.

"How'd Blunk get up there?" She finally blurted aloud. "He fell when I did."

"Caleb save Will!" Blunk cheered.

What? Who was flying whom up to the bridge? And Blunk obviously couldn't see passed his nose. This guy could not possibly be Caleb. He's too heavy! She finally got the crazed stranger, who thought he was Caleb of all people, on the bridge.

She stood looking up at him. Caleb was taller than her, but this guy towered her. He also had the Matt Damon from The Borne Identity series body thing going on. He also sported a brown leather jacket where Caleb wore a long brown trench coat.

"So, you want to clue me in on what is going on?" Will asked.

"Big Will turn to little Will," Blunk explained. "Blunk see Big Will jump off bridge. Big Will falls into red portal. Little Will comes out of portal," Blunk said grinning. "Caleb jumps in after Big Will, collides with Little Will."

"Ahhh . . . okay," Will replied confused.

"Will fell inside a red portal?" Caleb asked. Most of what Blunk said was news to him. He came on the scene just as the prodigal red head jumped. He could think of nothing but going in after her.

"Yes," Blunk replied.

"I've never heard of a red portal," Caleb said thoughtfully.

"What is going on?" Will demanded freaked out. "Why is he calling you Caleb? And what is this foreign language about Little Wills and Big Wills?"

"I-" Caleb started.

"The Caleb I know is a fifteen year old arrogant showoff!" Will ranted. "And the Blunk I know stinks like something crawled inside a rotten egg and died!" Blunk found this hilarious. She'd noticed that there was no bad smell polluting the air around them.

"Calm down Will," Caleb said gently. "From what I figured out so far, you came through a time portal."

"Time portal?" Will repeated skeptically.

"Special portal that turns Big Will little," Blunk revealed.

"No Blunk," Caleb said shaking his head. "A portal that transferred our Will to her time and vice versa."

"But why?" Will asked shocked. "What did I do to deserve this?"

"I don't think it's you who caused this and is learning a lesson," Caleb replied softly. Will, why did you do it? Why didn't you just come to me? I did promise to keep you always.


A/N: Thank you for reading my story. My next chapter will take a little longer to come out. I have to update my Tekken fic. I'll try to get better at descriptions. I realize I'm terrible at it. Oh yeah, this is a Caleb/Will fic. Thanks again for reading.
