Marcie's Choice

This is Marcie This Chapter

"So let's see if we're on the same page here," I inquire, "I get where you're coming from and like I get you and Marcie are friends but isn't there a little tension between you two still?"

"Just a bit," Tiffany admits, "But nothing we can't work out. I'm just making sure you're OK with it first because-"

"Hey if Marcie wants to give you a chance I'm cool with whatever happens," I shrug, "But you two need to do what's best for you two independent of me. So like, think about what's best for you and her and if that's what I think your suggesting I'm OK with that."

"OK," Tiffany smiles, "I'll go talk to her. Where is she anyways?"

"Oh she's down at karate," I explain, "Anyways I hope things go well, I'm going to call Star and just touch base with her. Is she doing OK?"

"Oh she's doing well," Tiffany replies, "I get you don't want her near Moon but so far Moon is none the wiser to what's going on. It's alright for you to stay on Earth for a while."

"I know," I sigh, "I just worry."

I grip my hat, which causes Tiffany to notice it and inquire, "Where did you get a hat?"

"My wand," I reply, "I'll tell you about it later, but for now you have to go talk to Marcie..."

As I walk home from karate I begin to ponder all that's happened. Me and Tiffany now getting along, Star dating Jim, Moon, Comet getting sick, River coming to Earth and staying with... wait where is River? I should make sure he's OK. He's Comet's dad so chances are he'll be my father in law someday.

I text River, "Hey, where are you staying right now anyways?"

River replies, "Oh you sweet lass, don't worry about me. I'm in the Underworld with Tiffany's family, although I appreciate the concern I'm quite well off here. You have a kind heart to be concerned about an old fellow like myself. Do hold onto that."

I text back, "Thanks. I will. You have a good day."

I put my phone away, only to hear the sound of a carriage approaching in the distance.

Where is that...

What in the world?

Tiffany's carriage stops next to me, the door opening to reveal Tiffany in her dress, offering her hand to me and asking, "Wanna bum a ride?"

"It'll save me the trouble of walking," I reply, "And we could catch up. Sure."

I take her hand as she pulls me into the carriage, inquiring, "So how have you been?"

"I've been good," I reply, looking around the highly decorated carriage with a flat screen and, snacks galore, a game console, and a white tiger rug.

"Man this is awesome!" I exclaim, "This is like a limo!"

"Yeah," Tiffany replies, "Here, let's play some... I dunno what do you like?"
