Chapter 24

"This is what you call professional?" I ask when Griffon ordered us to get into position.

Jason and I are lying side by side, but not in the way I had hoped. My head was resting on the pillow side while Jason's head on the opposite side of the bed right next to my bare feet.

"We're going to visit Griffon in what you call 'la la land,' and to bring both of us, this is what we have to do... Though I feel like he's just making us do this to mess with us." He better not be... His feet reek of ancestral moldy cheese, rotten eggs, toxic relish, and... blech...

Griffon...get us up there before my gastric juices floods my nose and my mouth... 

Ah.... One second I'm about to pass out from lying next to Jason's stinky skin sneakers, the next I'm hovering in midair above the clouds in the sky like an astronaut floating in the middle of the vast and silent space...

Using my core strengthening exercises that I practice daily, I crunch my way to be standing upright. Taking in my surroundings, I search all around for Jason.... Only to find that he is right underneath my feet...

"There you are," he points out while looking up at my face... or, at least I hope that's where he's looking...

"There both of you are," said a baritone that I can never not recognize. "Don't worry. This shouldn't be long. Jason, since you mentioned the topic, why don't you explain what I'm about to say?" Yeah, because he's excellent when it comes to explanations...

Jason stands there befuddled, as though he doesn't know where to start. I can discern that his eyeballs are involuntarily moving as though he were reading a book. Pfft, Griffon ain't giving you answers this time.

"Ugh... Come on, Griffon..." complains Jason.

"We're standing face to face. Why would I need to show you the answers, especially when I asked you to explain in your own words?" Griffon questioned.

"I..."

"Jason?" I interrupted. "You said that your magic heals me? What kind magic is that?"

"Oh, that's an easy one!" he exclaims confidently. I face palm myself, leaving a red hand mark on my forehead. That's exactly what you have to... never mind... "My magic..." he continued. "As a Prime Duo partner, you and I have special magics that are designated for each other. For example, you have the ability to ease my senses if I lose control of my anger in my wolf form. Only you are able to join senses with me to calm me." Makes sense, especially when he was in his primal form. I was able to calm him down... but could I only do that for Jason? What about Andrew and Alexis and Andy? Didn't I heal all of them?

"But, can't I heal everyone that way?"

"You're able to heal everyone's physical pain from the inside. You're not necessarily able to bring people back to their senses... For example, you were able to help Alexis because she herself was never insane. The monster inside of her took over. If Alexis herself went wild, then... you wouldn't have been able to help her."

"Oh..." That means that Andrew and even Andy were sane... well... not Andy... he was most certainly not sane... I had somehow call upon his mother's spirit to calm him down... after that, though, I was able to heal him... so this makes sense... "Okay," I say to Jason. "So what about you? What is a magic that only you can perform on me?"

"When our skin cells make contact, the interaction between them somehow excites your cells and provides you with the energy you need in order to function." So basically I get turned on whenever he touches me? Interesting... "For example, last night, you were soooo dead. Did you notice that as soon as we made physical contact that you were able to move freely?" Actually... yeah... and this morning, I didn't feel extremely tired like I do every morning I fight an unfathomable battle.

"You're saying that our touching heals me?"

"Precisely." Did not expect him to use a word like that. "Which means... the more contact our skins make, the faster you'll recover your ocular energies."

"Oh..." Wait... "Ohhhhhhh....." So basically I have another excuse to touch- okay. Okay! Yeah! Okay! I guess I can't fight against that... oh well.

"Well, that's it," Griffon said.

"Wait- that's it?! We came here just so Jason could explain that we should be touching each other more?!"

"Truth be told, princess, I had you both come here so that I could practice some of my spells. Your coming here is the result of my teleportation spell. Your physical bodies have actually teleported here."

"Wait... so this," I gesture all around, "is all real?" Whenever I got to lala land, it's only my mind that transfers... My actual body is... here?

"It's real alright... in my dimension."

"In your dimension?" Wait, what?

"That's a tale for another time. I'll transport you both back."

"Wait-"

"I didn't get to ask what-" and I'm back in our bedroom.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the ceiling fan Andrew built that signaled we were back... Care to guess what did?

Time's up (any longer and I think my eyes will die). It was the rancid smell of Jason's feet, blech!

"Good gosh..." Jason moaned, coming to his senses. I hear him sniffing, and my feet want to kick because I can definitely feel his nose hairs tickling my foot...

Ah... the sensation was nice... till I heard him gagging and imitating a puking person.... "Oh my god... Danny... the top of you is so soft and gentle and has such a nice baby-skin feel and scent... but your feet..."My feet?!
