It's been a while. But I'm back with a new installment. Hope you enjoy; review if you do! :)

Seventeenth Installment: Season 4 Episode 17: Stop Emma

Daniel visits Mia to apologize and recruit her to help stop Emma's plan to reverse time

Mia's POV

"So he froze her, but he can't unfreeze her?" I was listening to Daniel tell me this weird story of Diego freezing Jax's little sister. Since when did he have a sister? I thought he was just another guy with daddy issues.

He nodded. "Correct."

"And you came all the way up to Vero to tell me that?" I asked him, confused as to why he showed up so suddenly.

It's been over a week since I saw him last, and I didn't think he'd actually track down my address to try and talk to me again, not after I left so abruptly.

"Not exactly. Um...I feel terrible about the last time we talked." I felt my heartbeat through my ears when he said that, reminding me that my parents were supposedly alive in his-my-his other life. It was hard for me to imagine that. "I shouldn't have brought up your parents like that; it was insensitive."

I cracked a smile, appreciating his apology.

"No, I'm sorry. When I heard you say my parents were alive in another life, I freaked. The thought of it...it made me realize how much I miss them." I turned away from him, feeling my eyes water just talking about them. What would they say to me now? Knowing I didn't go through with my plan of destroying witches? Did I let them down?

He walked slowly to me and put his hand on my shoulder, which began making my stomach churn. I seriously can't believe he of all people has this effect on me.

"Well, I'll never talk about it again." I looked at him after hearing that. "Other than just now." We both chuckled at that.

I could tell by his tone that he had more to say.

"I uh, also wanted to talk to you about Emma." This made me freeze.

Great. Way to ruin a moment. I could feel my facial expression hardening at the sound of her name. I mean, yes, we are civil now, but he should know that the last thing I want to do is talk about his ex.

"Seriously?" I said, walking away from him. "You just apologized for upsetting me and bring up the person that made me mad, to begin with?"

"It's not like that," he insisted. "You see, she's gone off the deep end." This made my head snap up at him. "She stole Maddie's powers."

I had to laugh at that; there was no holding it in. "Sorry, but that's probably an improvement."

He shook his head as if I didn't understand him. "She stole the Council's powers too. Turned her back on Andi, lied to Diego, she even told me she'd help me get my-our life back and she's done nothing." My face then turned serious.

Wow, she really took the Chosen One thing to her head. I crossed my arms, not really surprised. Witches can be power hungry.

"Hold on, you asked her to send you back to your other life?" I clarified. I was a bit shocked, to say the least.

"I asked her to send me back to the place where you and I were together." I bowed my head, speechless and taken aback. I still had mixed feelings about this 'other life.'

"Where your-" he began, and immediately corrected himself. Smart move. "She's talking crazy, she wants to reverse time or something and if she does, who knows how many lives she'll ruin."

I thought about it for a moment. "But this time reverse, it could get us back to the Everglades?"

"They're two different things." he pointed out. "I mean they're related but-" he then stopped and looked at me wide-eyed.

"Did you just say get us back?"

I looked up at him again, seeing his face light up slightly, and I blushed. I don't think I even realized what I said; it kind of just flowed out naturally.

A part of me can't help but think that I not only want to go back to a life with my parents but also

to a drama-free life with Daniel. Thinking it over, it didn't seem so bad of an idea.

Maybe this alternate life wasn't such a crazy idea after all...

I really wanted to make this longer, but I didn't have access to any EWW episodes, so I worked with what I had. These are straight from the episodes, it's an OCD thing I have.
