Ok guys, posting this a little late because I forgot... studying is taking over my life and I apologize. Good news is, summer finals are this week. Meaning, after two weeks I will resume weekly updates!

In other news- I made a one shot that I am very proud of, consider checking it out on my profile. I am probably going to add another three chapters (making it no longer a one shot but what the hell).

Also I have just started reading "Twilight" and I'm not sure how I feel about it. If it turns out I enjoy the series, you will know because there will be crappy fanfics about it on my profile.

And last but not least, thank you so much to everyone who has commented. It means alot to me when I know that you enjoy the story.

Chapter 15

Dani waited patiently as she fell in the seemingly infinite dark space. It could only have been five minutes that she had been free falling, really. It was still getting... boring. She crossed her arms.

Wait, I could just fiddle around on my phone until I get to the bottom she realized. If... if there is a bottom... shuddering at that thought, she twisted to remove the device from her back pocket. The strange app was the first thing she checked.

The place that usually showed the current date was scrolling through different letters and numbers, which freaked Dani out more than a little. I'll just listen to some music to calm down... Opening her playlist, she fumbled and the phone slipped from her hands. Her thumb hit the button to continue the song she had last listened to-

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by

Dani mentally facepalmed and tried to "swim" through the air towards the phone. The scant light from the screen revealed nothing in the darkness beyond, and she felt panic rise. I have to get to it before the backlight goes out she fussed to herself.

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you...

With a jolt, Dani wasn't falling any more. She looked around in shock.

The jolt wasn't from hitting the bottom, she was someplace new...

"AM I IN FREAKING OUTER SPACE!?" She shrieked to no one in particular. Indeed, she was surrounded by what looked like a nebula. "Ok, how am I breathing?" She heard muffled voices. "HELLO!? WHO THE HELL IS THAT?" Nobody responded. That's when Dani made the astute observation that the phone was not in her hand.

Swearing, she tried to propel herself forward again with little success. The muffled voices got louder and more frustrated for a second before Dani was jolted again.

This time she wasn't floating. She belly flopped onto soft, mint green grass that smelled like a fancy candle. Scrambling to her feet, she felt her frustration rise. No longer able to hear the voices, she opened her mouth to curse whomever was doing this to her.

Another jolt came. She was falling again.

"Screw you!"

"What?" A voice came back. It was a young voice. Dani tried to look around to see where it came from.

Nobody was there- but wherever she was now, it was beautiful. Colors streaked past on a black background as she plummeted God knows where. But she didn't have time for this shit.

"Who the hell are you and where the hell am I!?" She screamed at the voice. It huffed annoyedly.

"Hold on, I can't get the spell right" it informed her. Dani flipped off the general direction she thought the voice was coming from. Another voice made a comment.

"Brother, perhaps we should ask mother-"

The voice was cut off as Dani jerked again and slammed into what felt like a metal surface, banging her head hard. Somebody gasped in front of her.

She stood up, ready to give her tormentor an ear full.

"...Loki?" She asked. "...Thor?"

The two were standing in front of her, with a positively giddy look on their faces. At least, she THOUGHT it was them. It looked like the characters from the movie, but in their mid teens.

"Which one of you was making me fall like that" she asked dangerously. Thor pointed at his brother, stupid grin still spread across his features. Dani hauled back and slugged Loki as hard as she was physically able.

"Ow! Odin's beard, why did you hit me?" The green clad boy appeared more shocked than hurt, he hadn't even flinched. Dani stepped forwards and pointed her finger up in his face.

"You kept friggin' DROPPING me. And you dumped me on some pixie-shit grass, which was a surprisingly hard landing!" Loki's mouth continued to open and close like he didn't know what to say. "What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked in her best 'stern mom voice' that she would typically use on Steve.

An arm wrapped around her waist and jerked her half off her feet.

"Enough of this banter! Loki, you have summoned a sufficient companion. Come, let us make adventure!" Thor practically shouted in her ear in a jovial tone. Dani elbowed him right in the beefy chest, which had no effect.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU 'SUMMONED' ME!? I HAVE A JOB TO FINISH SO I CAN GO HOME!" Dani shrieked. The python-like arm wrapped far too tightly around her waist made her voice sound constricted and pitchy, which made Thor wince at least.

"Erm... put her down, Thor" Loki hesitantly instructed his brother. Dani's feet touched the ground and the arm disappeared.

"Start talking" Dani ordered Loki.

"Well... you see, we were trying a spell to summon a companion. I even followed the book this time" Loki said nervously, gesturing to the open book on the metallic floor with an open hand. "It can only be used once, it is an ancient spell. Mother was saving it" he said, suddenly looking miserable. "It seems I have failed, and now the spell cannot be used again. And..."

"And what!?"

"You... erm... we-wont-be-able-to-send-you-back-" Loki said hurriedly and then looked down at his feet. Dani gaped for a second.

"I have things to do, I'll WALK out of Asgard if I must" she insisted. She felt a jolt in her back pocket.

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you-

"Screw this phone" Dani mumbled under her breath as she pulled the phone out of her pocket and stopped the song. She had forgotten that her phone would return to her pocket if left out of her hands for a while. Loki and Thor were both looking at her strangely.

"You... you know of Asgard?" Loki looked down at her phone. "And you have magic?" He looked like he was going to start fangirling, if Dani knew that look. She sighed and lolled her head back towards the sky, cursing her luck.

"Ok... I guess we BOTH have some explaining to do" she said sadly.

"Listen, yer highness- I don't see why you can't just shoot me back to earth with the Bifrost doohickey and be done with it" Dani grumped as she stood before Odin himself. It turned out, everyone could see her here and she could even move objects. It barely mattered though, because Thor was treating her like his own personal teddy bear. She was getting thrown around MORE than she used to.

"You dare demand I break the ancient spell?" Odin thundered from his throne. He was being damn stubborn.

"Yes." Odin frustratedly buried his face in one hand at the single word response. She failed to understand the significance of her request.

"Child, this spell cannot be broken lightly. Prophecies regarding the one the spell summons have been passed down for generations. Yet, I understand your frustration- my sons will be punished for their disobedience."

"Odin- listen, I don't want you to spank your kids, I want to finish my job so I can go home." She shifted her weight impatiently and stared directly into his one eye.

"You cannot. That is all. Guards, show her to her quarters." And just like that, the conversation was over. A very pissed Dani was led off by two burly Asgardians, each with a hand on her shoulder. Dani made eye contact with Loki as she passed him, and somehow the little shit managed to look both apologetic and impish at the same time.

I'm getting too old for this...

I'm gonna have fun with this for a few chapters, so buckle up if you please :D
