The warped portal opened to the world that Pheonix used to live in, but it was different the seasons had changed.
"Indigo you remembered to freeze time right?"
"Um... about that..."
"Indigo! This means months have passed without the people that knew Pheonix knowing he was safe. We kidnapped him oh my god we are fucked"
"Hey relax once we get the newbie to harness the powers he can just remove all the memories of him being gone."
"We need to find that girl he likes so much. Did you bring the compliance ray?"
"Why do you call it a ray? I mean we are already star children, don't push the magic whimsey or you will sound like a hippie at Woodstock."
"There she is!" Indigo hit her with a flash of compliance.
"Come with us, we need you" Sara stated
"God we sound like a kidnapping cult. Let's go before the compliance wears off" They grabbed Athena's hand and took her through the portal to the home. As they entered the foyer Athena's compliance wore off.
"Oh my god! Where am I? What in the Narnia is this place!" Her voice echoed throughout the barren hallways.
"Indigo freeze time this time okay we can't screw up again" Sara snapped at Indigo.
"Um, I'm sorry but did you just say freeze time?!" Her voice echoed again but this time it reached the ears of Pheonix. In excitement, he ran down the hallway and when he reached the stairs he froze as he saw Athena. He sprung into action prompting him to fall down the stairs.
"Oh my god! P-Pheonix? Is that really you?" She said trying to hold back tears.
"Ow. Hold on I think I'm hurt. ARTHUR!" Arthur did not come because he knew that Pheonix was just overreacting.
"Athena, how did you get here? And what is up with the new clothes?" She had changed for it had been almost a year with Pheonix gone. He slowly got up but Athena was frozen. Her hands and lips trembled as she didn't know if she was dreaming or not.
"Think that's our cue to leave Sara," Indigo said to the oblivious Sara.
"Pheonix... Are you real? Please tell me I'm not dreaming."
"Well if you are dreaming then I guess we are sharing a dream. I need to catch you up on so much there is so much stuff that-" She ran to him wrapping her arms around him and burying her face into his torso.
"Hey... hey, it's okay. What's wrong."
"I never thought I'd see you again"
"What do you mean I've been gone for like a day. No need to overthink"
"Pheonix you have been gone for 11 months 2 weeks and 6 days"
"What?"
"I don't care about any of that though, I'm just happy you are okay"
"Okay. Yeah. Sure I guess. Um come with me I got a new room and plus my roommates are quite nosy so I don't want you crying or anything in front of them because they don't understand human emotion"
As the two got to his room he sat on his bed trying to comprehend the fact that he had been gone from his world for almost a year. It was screwing with him but before he could spiral he heard a lock turn on his door. Athena locked the door and dropped her bag as she walked over to him. He was confused because when he saw her last they were just friends, although he did have a crush on her. He never knew she felt the same way about him though. She took off her jacket and Pheonix started to get shy, his heart started to beat faster as she reached him. She put her hand on his chest pushing him down to the bed.
"Woah. Um, who are you and what have you done with my Athena"
"Pheonix I thought you were dead"
"Well, that's a lot to unpack... You wanted to fuck a dead guy?"
"God! No! I always liked you but I was too much of a wuss to say anything. But after you went missing I made a promise to myself that if I ever saw you again I would take action. I'm sorry is this too much" Her body language completely changed as she grew embarrassed.
"Hey, no. This is just the right amount." He grabbed her soft hand and pulled her towards him. "Are you sure you want to do this though?"
"I am very very sure." She moved her hands to his waist as he looked her up and down. He leaned in as their lips embraced each other. But when his lips touched hers he saw into her memories of the year he was missing. He was shocked and he pulled back.
"I'm sorry Pheonix did I do something wrong"
"No-No. Take a seat because for once you were actually right about something and well this something it's really crazy..."
