Glassheart (Red x Chloe) Book 3

Chapter 6

Their surroundings start to spin, as well as their heads as they are once again sent back in time. "Ow! Get the hell off of me Cree!" Crimson shoves her brother off. "Red, baby, are you ok?" Chloe quickly helps her wife stand up. "Ow, no i am not. We're in the past again?!" She looks around at the familiar surroundings of Merlin Academy. "When are we?" Chloe looks around to try and find any clue of the date. They all walk to the main hall, seeing students take down Castlecoming posters and flyers. "My best guess, would be the day after Castlecoming?" Cree shrugs. "Ok, which means your mother and i already left the first time, so we would be back in our own time, dancing at orientation right now. And almost twenty years younger."

The twins tried to work everything out in their heads. "Don't think about it, you'll give yourself a headache." Red stops them. "Come on, let's just try and find Bridget again." They all walk into the auditorium where the dance was held. "Hey! I was looking for you two all night yesterday. Where'd you go?" Bridget runs up to them and gives them both a hug. "Oh, uh. Red wasn't feeling well, so we had to stay in our dorm. I wanted to take care of her." Chloe smiles at her wife. "Oh, i guess you guys do look a little different." Bridget observes them. They were clearly in their mid-thirties so definitely different. "Oh and who are you guys?" "Oh-" "Um, new transfer students. Yeah, we were all supposed to transfer here at the same time but i guess the paperwork got lost. Uh, this is Crimson and Cree." Red tells her. Bridget takes a look at them. "Are they related to you?" She asks. "Um...." "Yes! These are my cousins!" Chloe quickly interjects.

Bridget nods. "Oh ok, well any family or friends of Chloe and Red's are friends of mine. Do you wanna hug?" She smiles and gives them both a hug. The twins relax and enjoy being in their grandma Bridget's arms, even if she is about fifty years younger. "Well, anyways, you guys wanna help clean up? I'm sorry you missed the dance." Red shakes her head. "Don't worry about it, we still had a nice night." She smiles at Chloe. "Oh ok, what'd you guys do?" Bridget smiles. Chloe and Red glance at each other. "We just stayed in, watched a movie and hung out." Red nods. Bridget stares at Red for a moment. "Red, is....that a hickey?" Red slaps her hand on her neck. "No, it's a..rash. Yeah, like i said, I wasn't feeling well yesterday." Bridget smirks as she slowly nods. "Ok, whatever you say. You know...." She leans in to whisper to them, "if you guys are together, you don't have to hide it. Nobody judges around here." They both nod. "Oh we know, we're just.... private people, that's all." Red nods. Bridget shrugs. "Ok, well congrats. I'm happy for you guys." She smiles.

"Thanks Bridget." Chloe smiles and holds Red's hand. "Anyways, we were just heading back to our dorm, so we'll see you later!" They both pull the twins with them. "Oh ok, it was nice meeting you two!" Bridget shouts as they walk away. Red opens the door to their old dorm and shoves the twins inside. "Hey! That's child abuse!" Cree catches his balance. "Well you don't exist yet, none of us do, so I don't think that counts." Red stands in front of her daughter. "Crimson Rebel Charming, give me the pocket watch. Now." Crimson sighs and pulls the pocket watch out of her pocket. Cree snickers as he tries not to laugh. "You're not off the hook either, Cree Charles Charming." Chloe eyes him. He quickly shuts his mouth. "Now, we need a plan. We can't just wing it." Red sits next to her wife as she tries to think. "Well, first things first, you two might wanna lose the wedding rings." Crimson tells them. They both look at their left hands and then each others. "We could just move it to a different finger?" Chloe suggests. Red nods. "I'll take it. I'd rather move it than lose it." "Move it or lose it that's true." Chloe nods. "I'm pretty sure that's not what that means." After moving their wedding rings and making themselves look younger, with Red's magic cards, they started making their way around school. "Ok, first things first, find grandma Bridget and grandpa James."
