Now onward to the story!

When I opened my eyes again I was back in that empty space. Everything was white. The only thing in the place that had a bit of color to it, was me. I don't know how long I was out for. All I knew was that after revisiting them in the other world I had felt extremely tired and completely bothered by the fact that I was able to walk through the walls and the doors. I couldn't even feel them. All it felt like was walking threw a thin veil of water. It was the weirdest sensation I had ever felt.

My thoughts went back to that locket I had given naru. Why had I given it to him? I couldn't even remember. But it was really shocking but sweet that he had taken it out when he taken a drink of his tea. I smiled at the memory.

I took a look around to see if Gene was anywhere near by. He didn't seem to be. I wonder where he was. Wasn't he supposed to be here by now? Maybe he wanted me to do something. But that was going to be hard. Considering that I didn't even now what day it was. Or what the time was for that matter. This was going to be hard. How was I supposed to lean how to control my power if I was out so long that I couldn't even tell what the date was. and how was I supposed to learn when I was out after only a few hours in their world?

"Mai" I heard Gene call from behind me. I tuned to see him smiling at me. " finally awake are we?"

"Ya. But why did I sleep so long? And why was I so tired?" I asked right away wanting to know the answers as soon as possible.

He sighed. "Mai you have to understand that this kind of thing takes practice. You need to build up your strength in order to be able to do the things you want to. it will take some time before your able to even show them that your there. Like I said before.

"oh." Was all I was able to get out.

"Ya… anyways. I should probably let you know the date. It's been a month since your last visit. And that the case they were talking about has been successfully finished." It is now summer. Or to be more specific the beginning of June."

"What! Its been that long already? Oh my god…" I was in near hysterics.

"Yes and that's why you need to build your strength up. When you do you'll be able to stay there longer."

"I know but how am I supposed to do that."

"It will just happen over time. Like building up a muscle. It takes time. That's why it's time to go."

As he said this he faded away along with his voice. I watched as the scene around me changed.

With one quick look I was able to tell I was once again in the SPR office. This time I wasn't above the damn building. I was in the kitchen. Thankfully. I jumped when I saw Lin standing there though. When was the last time I saw him in the kitchen. I tried to think back. I couldn't come up with anything. He was making two cups of tea. Stirring in sugar and milk in one and just milk in the other. I was about to say hi when I thought back to what Gene had said. I almost screamed in frustration. Lin picked up the two teacups carefully and walked back into the sitting area. I followed him. He placed the cup in front of Madoka, then sat down beside her and smiled.

She laughed at him then carefully took the cup into her hands and took a sip after blowing at the hot liquid. Naru who was sitting in his usual chair looked up from his folder. I noticed that he once again had the locket. But this time it was in front of him.

I looked down at my feet and smiled a really girly smile. I felt like a teenager. Oh wait I am a teen. Never mind I was allowed to do that. I laughed at that. I slowly walked over to Madoka. I never did get to talk to her that time. She was never there. I sat down beside her and looked at my white dress that I had seemed to come to wear all the time. It was simple. It had thick straps that went down to meet in a "v" than got tight at the bottom of my breasts. Then it flared out. All in all. It was cute and modest.

I reached out to touch her shoulder after I looked up from her laugh. I had come into late to understand what they were talking about so I just let the sound pass though me. I reached her shoulder and was about to grab it when I remembered the door insdent. Would my hand pass through her? My hand was about an inch away from her. I kept it there determining what to do. I didn't think I would be able to handle not being able to touch her. And what if I did or was able to put my hand on her shoulder? What would she do? I took my hand away quickly. It seemed that she didn't notice me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Naru was back to reading his folder again. I got up and went behind him to see what he was reading. All he was reading was information on case files. Nothing exciting. I sighed and reached out to take the locket from the table forgetting once again that I wouldn't be able to touch it. but as soon as I reached I found that I was. I took it amazed at what I was able to do.

I was mesmerized by it. it seemed it was the one thing in their world that I was able to truly touch. I don't know how long I stayed there looking at it. but I was brought out of my thoughts by a gasp. When I looked up I saw Madoka, Lin and Naru all staring directly at me.
