They get to the greenhouse.The minute they get there,they hear Sage laughing as well as Anthony.They decided to leave.Xander brought Athena to the library to talk instead.

"Listen Xander.I have been through a lot these past couple of days.But I am from a different universe where we had kids and we were fighting and-" "Athena calm down.I know you might be mad but I talked to Oryn.When you disappeared I summoned her.I realized we were probably moving too fast for your liking.So I asked her for us to be in a universe where we didn't have kids yet so we could be us.Obviously they are still going to exist but in a few years when we are ready.I also remember all of that bullshit she put you through." "Are you serious.But you were right I wasn't grateful enough." "No you were.I should of been there for you."

Sage walks in. "Hi Thena.Oh hi Xander.What are you doing in here.You don't like reading." "I do.Just not as often as you or Athena.What are you doing here". "To read duh.I also wanted to show Anthony my favorite place."Anthony walks into the room. He smiled when he saw Athena. "Athena can we go somewhere." "No.She won't." "Xander I can do whatever I want." She got up. "Athena." Athena went with Anthony.

Anthony took Athena outside. "So you are from Asterin." "Yes". "Do you like Gantrick." "Yeah,I mean it's different from my home,but one of the people I love most lives here so I love it."Anthony looked at her with stars in his eyes.He kissed Athena.She pushed him off but he just started to kiss her neck.Renee conviently was passing by to go see Xander so she took pictures of those two.Athena pushed him off. "What is wrong with you." "I love you Athena.From the moment I laid my eyes on you.I want you to be mine.And you don't have to worry about pressures of being queen you can just be whatever you want." "Anthony I live Xander.I have always loved Xander.If you knew what I had to go through to be with him you would understand." "If you were with me you wouldn't have to struggle.We could just be." "Please you sound crazy.Actually you sound like my ex.I'm not going to keep entertaining this." She got up and left him.

When she got to the castle she saw Renee kiss Xander.The minute she walked away Xander pushed her off. "Renee what the fuck are you doing." "I saw them.Athena and Anthony.They were making out.I have proof." "Renee first you try to convince me Athena is cheating on me with Nolan and now my brother.I don't like you like that.Stop trying to ruin my relationship." "But I am not lying look."She pulled out the pictures she took. "No.There's no way Athena would do that.You must of taken the picture at a wrong angle." "Pictures don't lie.Just face it.She is a cheater." "No she isn't.Now get out of my face."

Xander left and looked for Athena.He finally saw her.He wnt up behind her and hugged her.She stayed silent.He kissed her cheek.Again nothing.He then kissed her neck.Nothing.He did it a few times and then she giggled. "Hey what's wrong.Love.Come on.What did I do this time." "You know what." "Let me guess you saw Renee forcefully kiss me." "Yep." "How many times do I have to keep telling you.I love you.Only you.She always comes on to me." "I know but what if one day that's not the case.Or what if you wanted to get payback because of Nolan." "Hey calm down.That would never happen and you know it.And see I am calm,even after seeing the pictures Renee took of you and Anthony.I trust you I know it was a missunderstanding." "Right.But he did kiss me.I pushed him off obviously.Then he kissed my neck a few times.But again I pushed him off." "Are you serious.I really don't want to have to beat up my brother.I thought this reality wasn't going to be so difficult." "Hey.Everything is going to be okay.But he needs to learn boundaries." "As it is I need to beat him up for what he did to you." "Don't." "If I was there he would not of survived." "I know.But he is your brother." "Yeah but that doesn't give him any excuse.I'm going to talk to him."
