Mel's POV

No, it can't be the souls, can it? We are always so careful. Maybe they saw Jared coming back the other day, the sun was almost coming up when he got back to the caves. They can't have come because of that, I have to go find Jared, make sure he is ok, but first I have to make sure he is not in the kitchen. I have to go in, but I can't. What if he is there? What if I can't save him? What if I'm too late? I can't be, I'm just overreacting, everybody is fine, and those aren't souls in there, that has to be it. The closer I get the more I doubt it. I hesitate outside the kitchen for a little bit, and I hear Jared's voice. I really hope it's not the souls inside. Then I hear a voice that sounds really familiar, but I can't place it.

I have to walk into the kitchen, I can't wait any longer. I have to make sure that he is ok. When I walk in Jared is just sitting by the counter eating with someone who looks really familiar. Automatically I relaxed. Jared was ok, so I'm ok too.

"Hey, I was wondering when you would show up." Jared said, he looked completely at ease. That's when the man sitting at the counter turned around and I saw that it was Burns. I wondered what he was doing here. I hadn't heard any news about him coming.

"Sorry, got held up." There was barely a moment when Jared and I were not together, so when it happened we both noticed. I automatically went to go sit next to him, after saying hello to Burns.

Although not necessarily the most polite thing to say, curiosity got the better of me.

"What are you doing here? Did everybody else come?"

Not at all surprised by my comment he answers right away.

"No, it's just me. I came to see how everyone was doing." As he said this, though, it looked like he was hiding something, but I didn't know what. I looked at Jared and could tell he noticed it too.

"Does Wanda know you are here?" As soon as I said her name his eyes lit up. There was definitely something going on.

"No, she went to her room to rest. She should be here soon though."

Yet again his eyes lit up. It was weird almost if he liked her or something. I knew nothing would happen she loves Ian too.

We continue eating and talking. Jared and Burns talk about how the other cells are doing and I try to pay attention but I am too distracted. Something suspicious was going on with Burns, but I didn't know what. I really wanted to find out though. I had to find out.

Things have been really weird in the caves lately, I really didn't know what was going on. It kind of annoyed, but I guess I would find out eventually.

"Burns! You're here!" I hear Wanda say behind me. She was coming in looking fully rested with a weary eyed Ian behind her.

Wanda's POV

Today was one of the greatest days ever. I finally got to do some work, after almost a week of being in the hospital it felt good to do something. I felt bad that everyone was working while I was just lying down in the hospital. Secondly, I got to see Mel, I hadn't seen her all yesterday and I really missed her. And lastly, Burns shows up. I really like him because he was just like me. He understood what I have gone through. It felt good to be able to relate to someone, I can't really do that around here. No, I shouldn't say that, Ian tries his hardest to understand me and what I have been though. He is really good at it too. It's just different because Burns a soul.

I rush towards him and he picks me up in his arms and spins me around causing me to laugh and smile. When he finally puts me down I notice that everybody around me was staring. Especially Ian and Melanie. Ian comes stands closer and we sit down together.

"Yeah, I been hear almost all afternoon but they told me that you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up."

"It's ok I wouldn't have minded having been woken up. I haven't seen you in forever. Are the others here as well?"

"No, it's just me." This worries me. It's too dangerous for him to be travelling by himself. I can tell that he knows I'm thinking about this because he says, "It's ok. I got here without any trouble."

Ian tightens his grip around my waist and I feel that he is very tense so I lean into his chest and he relaxes. I noticed that he hasn't spoken one word to me, which surprises me a lot, he is usually very polite. He was ok when we were in the room, I wondered what has happened.

We go get some food, and I automatically start ambushing Burns with questions.

"What brings you here, why didn't the others come?"

"I'm just visiting. Everyone else is enjoying themselves at home. I was tired of being there when I knew I could be here."

"I can imagine. What's been going on? How is everything?"

"It's ok, pretty much the same. How about you?"

"I'm actually pretty great. Everything has been perfect?"

We continued talking for hours, exchanging facts about our lives and everyone else's. It was amazing. I hadn't talked that much in years. It felt great and I felt so free it was amazing. I made me realize that nobody else had talked in a long time and that everybody had left the kitchen except Ian, Burns, and me.

"I almost forgot to tell you that Evan and Ellen got married. They had a really nice wedding."

"That must have been so amazing." I have always wanted a nice big wedding. I remember from Mel's memory what a wedding looked like. She always pictured one with Jared. Maybe it could still happen. I hope so.

"It wasn't how Ellen had originally imagined it, but she was happy none the less."

"What did it look like?" I asked, really curious. I wondered of Ian and I would ever get married. I didn't really need it, but it would be a nice memory to have with him.

"They had it at night, so that it could be outside. There where flowers all over the place. She was wearing a beautiful white dress that I picked out for her." He said with a smile. "There was a meteoroid shower that night, and the sky was super clear, that you could see them all. It was perfect."

"I can imagine." I said as I started to yawn.

"Come on Wanda, it's time to get to sleep." He said very gently but there was an edge in his eyes and I could tell something was wrong. I was about to ask him, but then he picked me up and I fell asleep in his arms hoping that we could stay like that forever.

I barely felt it when we got to our room, but I was awake enough to ask him, "What happened Ian? Why didn't you want to talk to Burns?"

"I didn't want to interrupt your special connection with him." He said each word sounding like a dagger in my direction.

"Why did you say it like that?" I said, I don't think that it was fair that he was reacting this way, but there must have been a reason. He wouldn't react like this for nothing. There was a word for why he could be reacting like this but I didn't remember it. I only remembered it from when I was in Mel's body.

"Nothing." He said, but I could tell there was something wrong.

"Ian, please." I told him as I held his face in my hands and looked into his eyes. He looked away and in his eyes there was sadness, pain, and maybe embarrassment. I really didn't understand, had I done something wrong?

"It's just that when I saw Burns you ran toward. I haven't seen you that happy in a long time. It just made me sad and a little jealous that I wasn't the one to make you smile like that." That was the word, jealous. Although why he would be jealous was past me. It didn't make sense. I loved Ian more than anything. He should know this.

"Ian, I'm sorry I made you feel that, but you should know that you are the only one I love. It will always be you, no matter what happens, or who I meet. It's just that Burns is like me, he knows what I have been through."

"I know I'm sorry. We have been going through quite of a rough patch haven't we?" When he says this I realize that it is true. I don't why but things have been very difficult lately. It makes me kind of sad.

"We should try to fix that." I say, and he smiles at me.

"I think we already have." He says and this time I smile at him.

I am in the kitchen eating by myself when Ian and Burns both come in. I don't know what is going on, they both look really sad. They aren't talking to each other but then they see and they both call out my name. I automatically turn to go to Ian, but then I see the look on Burns face, and I turn towards him. Then I see Ian look really sad and go towards him but the same thing happens again and again. I am stuck like this until Melanie comes in and says, "You have to choose soon Wanda. You can't keep doing this to them."

That was the weirdest dream ever. I haven't been dreaming much lately, at least not that I can remember. So this dream shocked me, but I decided not to think much of it because it is just dream after all. It is still ark outside, but you can tell the sun is about to start rising. I am really hungry. Doc told me that as the weeks passed by I would start getting hungry more often, and that I should it because it was important for the baby.

Ian is knocked out, he looks so peaceful that I just stay there and watch him for a few minutes but then my stomach starts to grumble, and I know I can't wait much longer. At the

sound Ian starts to stir but doesn't wake up and for that I am thankful. He needs as much sleep as possible.

It makes me sad that Ian would be jealous of Burns. It kind of doesn't make sense either. I take do a slow jog to the kitchen and I'm there in no time. It felt good to jog, it reminded me of the days when I was in Mel's body. I kind of missed it sometimes, but she is so much happier that it's ok.

No one is in the kitchen when I wake up so I decide to start cooking for everybody, they will be up soon anyways. We hadn't been in a raid for a while so we didn't have eggs so i decided to make everyone pancakes. I knew I had to make a lot so I got started soon. As I finished them I put them in the oven, even though it wasn't on right now, so that they would stay warm. I must have made 50 by the time Jeb was up. He always got up an hour before everyone to make sure everything was ok. I must have gotten up a lot earlier than I realized.

"Aren't you the early bird." Jeb said.

"Morning! Would you like some pancakes! I made them myself."

"Sure, but it's ok, I'll get them myself, you keep on cooking. What are you doing up this early anyways?" He asks as he takes a bight of the pancakes he looks kind of surprised, when he taste it.

"I don't know, I woke up early and decided to put my time to good use. Hope you don't mind. How many should I make?"

"No, I really don't mind. These are really good. Did you put Cinnamon in them?"

"Yeah, and a little bit of sugar. That's how Pet's mom used to make them. I decided that I would give it a try."

"Umm, these are Delicious, best pancakes I have had in years. How many have you made some far?"

"Fiftyish, I was thinking that I would make a hundred?" I said, although the last part was a question, because people like Kyle, Ian, Jared, and sometimes even Melanie could eat six.

At hearing this Jeb starts to laugh and says, "By the taste of these pancakes I think we are going to need a lot more than that. You make the batter and pour, and I'll cook them ok?"

We worked very well together, 15 minutes later we already had a hundred pancakes.

"I have been meaning to ask you about that." Jeb said after a few minutes of silence.

"About what?" I asked, this question had come out of nowhere.

"About what Pet's life was like. Everything got so crazy that I didn't get to ask you questions. I miss the talks you gave while you were cooking." He said. He looked kind of sad, but I didn't know why.

"She had a great life, it was very easy. But her mother was sick for a while and the souls didn't know what she had, which is kind of shocking. After a while, they found out what she ha and she got cure, but she never told Pet what had happened."

"Must have been very tough for her."

"Yeah, I can Imagine, but after a while things went back to normal and she was ok." Jeb got very pensive but then he asked me what other planets she had been too.

"She came from the flower planet. She really liked it there but she wanted to have new experiences. She was a fairly young soul, this was only her second planet."

Mix. Pour. Flip. That had become our routine. I liked working with Jeb, by the time people started showing up we had already made 200 pancakes. I didn't know if that was too much but I guess we would soon find out.

"Ooh, are those pancakes?" Lilly said. She looked really excited. She looked genuinely happy, which is good, because even though it's been almost a year since Wes died, she still has her moments of sadness.

"Yes, come help yourself!" I say suddenly the kitchen gets filled and I excuse myself so that I can get some food, and take it to Ian.

When I get to the room, Ian is still asleep, but as soon as he smells the pancakes he wakes up?

"Mhm, are those pancakes?" He mumbles his eyes aren't open yet, but his face never fails to amaze me. He is really handsome. As soon as I think that my face starts to blush.

"You're going to have to wake up and see for yourself." I say playfully. I set the food down on the bed and he grabs me from the waste and pulls me closer. I see his eyes open, and for the first time in weeks I see those eyes that I remember so well. That look at me and tell me everything I need to know. I look at him and he pulls me closer and gives a sweet kiss.

"We should eat." I tell him mainly because I am still pretty hungry. "I brought 10 pancakes. I didn't know how many you would eat."

"What about you?" He asks and I chuckle, he looks confused.

"Can you really eat 10 pancakes? I was just going to eat of your plate, but I'll go get more." I start to get up but he grabs my arms and pulls me back to the bed and we eat breakfast.

"Those are the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Who made them?"

"Jeb and I did." I say and he starts to look worried.

"Since when have you been awake?"

"I don't know but I got hungry and saw that no one was cooking. Jeb came in later and started working. We made 200 pancakes, can you believe it?"

"Yes, I can. Jeb has always been very efficient. Next time you we up early wake me up too and we can cook together, ok?"

"Yes, I would like that, although I'm not sure about your culinary skills." I say with a smile.

"I can actually make a very good cereal." He says as we head to the kitchen to put our dishes back.

What did you guys think? I felt like there was too much drama going on between Ian and Wanda so I tried to calm some of it down, but is there still more? Why did Burns really come to visit anyways? He is acting very weird. What's up with Wanda's dreams and why did she only remember this one?

Please tell me what you think. Your reviews help more than you even know.
