24.
It's afternoon and Danny and I were still in bed. After what happened yesterday I had a huge wake up call. I haven't told any of that to Danny and I was glad he didn't ask about my sudden turn around. He was just glad I was back to being myself.
So to celebrate we stayed in bed and just cuddled and kissed. I only left the bed once to call Brian.
'I love this' I said while lying on Danny's chest with my head and making small circles with my finger on his chest.
'Yeah, me too' Danny said while going through my hair.
'I'm so glad I quit my job'
'Why did you quit it anyway?' Danny asked
'Just because.. I didn't love it anymore' I actually quit because they were going to fire me in the future anyway so I thought I might as well beat them to it and still have my pride. But I can't tell Danny that because then I would have to explain how I knew they were going to fire me and I could make up a story but I'm not that good at lying. He will see right through me.
'Good, you shouldn't be doing something you don't love' Danny said.
'My thoughts exactly' I said and kissed him. I was glad he settled with it.
'How about we head to the kitchen for some breaky?' he said with a smile when we heard my tummy rumble. It's after midday and we hadn't even had breakfast yet, no wonder I'm hungry!
'Sounds great' I said and we both crawled out of bed. I put on some pants and a shirt while Danny only put on a lazy pants.
I followed his bare (and sexy) chest into the kitchen where we prepared some lunch together. It was a really nice salad with tuna. After that we decided to let the bed for what it is and just hang in the couch, cuddled up together.
It was a perfect lazy Tuesday, we had no worries, no work to go to. It was just him and me, being together until..
'Danny?' a little voice asked from behind us. I had heard that voice before only now it was more girlish and vulnerable than the first time I heard it.
We both quickly turned around and Danny rushed to her. He crouched down next to the little girl and held her head between his massive hands.
'Zena? What's wrong?' he asked worried
'Dougie' she answered as a tear fell down her cheek.
Danny was quiet for a second before he carefully asked. 'What did you see?'
'Darkness' she whispered
Danny swallowed. 'How?'
'A fight with the Prions'
'When?'
'Tomorrow' her voice was breaking.
'SHIT!' Danny quickly ran up the stairs and I, not understanding what the hell was happening, ran after him.
'Danny, what's going on?' I asked when I got to the bedroom where Danny was getting dressed.
'That's Zena, Dougie's little sister. She can see the future and when she sees darkness, it means death'
'Sister? How come she wasn't at their house before?'
'We'd hid her on another planet. Dougie must have got her back when the war was over'
'And who are the Prions?'
'They're citizens from Pluto. They've always wanted to have our planet as a home but they backed off because of the war, since it's over now and there isn't much left off Xion I think they're taking their chance now.' Danny explained. 'Completely forgot about them' he added
'But..'
'Tom listen' Danny said and pulled his head through his shirt. 'I have to go to Xion, can Zena stay with you? Dougie would kill me if he knew I brought her to a fight.'
'But..' I said again
'Please, she's only 14 years old'
I blinked a few times, getting my head together. 'Yeah, yeah of course she can stay'
'Thanks' Danny said and kissed me before rushing back down the stairs where Zena still stood on the same spot with tears in her eyes.
'Let's go' she said wiping some tears away.
'You're not going anywhere' Danny said
'What? But Danny..'
'No buts you're staying here with Tom. Dougie would kill me otherwise.'
'I'm not a little kid anymore!' she yelled. 'And besides, you're there, you can heal me if something goes wrong'
'Doesn't matter what you say, you're staying here' Danny said with a smile
Zena let out a growl but that only made Danny smile wider and crouched down next to her again.
'I'll make sure nothing happens to him'
All the angriness disappeared out of her and it was a little girl again standing there. 'You're the only one who can save him'
'And I will' Danny said 'I promise'
She smiled and gave Danny a hug.
'Oh and no teleportation' Danny said as they pulled out of the hug.
Zena sighed while rolling her eyes and crossed her arms. 'Fine!'
Danny smiled and turned to me. 'I'll be back soon'
'Be safe alright, both of you' I said to his shoulder in a hug. He then pulled away and opened the door. He looked outside, it wasn't dark yet. He has to be careful to not get noticed flying.
Seeing him like that, back in his old clothes. The black pants and leather jacket, the serious look on his face,..It brought back so many memories.
After one more look at me, he stepped out of the door and flew away.
And now, once again, I was with Zena. But this time it was different.
