i had spent the whole day racing around on my ilu with ao'nung, rotxo and neteyam, braiding my hair with tuk and kiri, helping tsireya with her duties, and then going on a night swim with lo'ak.

we swam around our special spot for what felt like hours but soon i had to shift back to my cr (current reality), "hey lo'ak im really tired, can we swim back please?"

"of course my love"

i climb onto the back of lo'aks ilu and ride behind him, when we arrive back at the village i thank him and walk off, i walk behind a tree and say my safe word.

"cupcake" i open my eyes and see im still in pandora "what? why am i still here" i keep trying but it doesn't work, i begin panicking.

"you can't leave", i turn and see lo'ak behind me

"lo'ak?! what is going on?"

"you think im dumb? i found you script" he smirks looking proud of himself

"wha- what did you do!" i scream

"oh don't worry, i just changed something"

"no, no! you have to change it back!" i cried out

"why would i do that" he hissed "you have been lying to me, why would i let you leave?"

"i trusted you" i scream

"y/n look i..." lo'ak begins trying to explain himself but soon everyone is is surrounding you

"we are sorry y/n but we can't let you leave" tsireya begins

"i don't have a choice, i have to get home to my family" i sobbed

"we are your family" ao'nung hissed

"my REAL family, why would guys do this to me?"

"we read what happened in your other reality, you were miserable, you were so unhappy, you hated your life!" neteyam argued trying to reason with me

"it was MY LIFE, MY LIFE"

"come on, you can't be that upset. we know what you went through to get here" lo'ak explained

"you took my real life away from me? how can i not be mad!" i hiss

"are we not real?" tsireya asked worriedly

"i- i don't know, just tell me the safe word please!" i beg

"now why would we do that" lo'ak cocked an eyebrow

tears start falling from my eyes "because lo'ak, if you truly love me like you say, you would want me to be happy"

"do we not make you happy" kiri retorted

"of course you do but i have my parents and brother back in my reality waiting for me, i need to get home, i promise i will come back" i stammered

"how do we know you won't just change the script?"

"LO'AK PLEASE" tears drench my face

"the safe word is goodbye" lo'ak says looking to the floor

"why is that the safe word?" i ask confused

"because when you shift back you either would've changed the script so we don't remember this happening, or you come back and nothing is ever the same again cause you aren't real" lo'ak admits

"or you just never come back at all" neteyam adds

"oh" i sob

"please don't leave y/n" lo'ak pleaded

"im sorry lo'ak" tears streaming down my face "goodbye"

suddenly everything goes black, as i opened my eyes, i found myself back in a familiar room, surrounded by the muted hues of my earthly life. i felt the familiar pang of nostalgia and loss as i mourned my time on pandora and a bittersweet longing for the vibrant beauty and profound connections i had experienced there.

each day on pandora had been an adventure filled with love and laughter, as i had embraced the wonders of my new world. but amidst the lush forests and floating mountains of that enchanting realm, what truly made the experience were the people i met.

my heart ached as i thought of lo'ak, whose tender embraces had made me feel alive like nothing else ever could. it seemed so cruel that we could not be together in this reality. i missed our late-night stargazing sessions, where we would hold hands and lose ourselves in the vastness of the pandora sky.

my thoughts then drifted to my friends, who had become like family to me. wild adventures through untamed jungles and shared moments of awe as we discovered hidden wonders formed memories that would remain deeply etched within my heart for years to come.

yet now, back in my reality-the land of endless schoolwork and tedious chores-my beautiful life on pandora felt so far away. my soul craved the boundless freedom i had experienced in the breathtaking world of pandora.



a/n: this is my favourite imagine i have ever wrote cause it is so relatable and i cannot wait to learn how to shift and get off this dying planet.
