Picking Up Where This Left Off

S.T. Was getting himself ready for the end of February, he's got clothes packed as well as some snacks and a card to take the next train from Fair City to Peace Town. Where his love, Winter. The Deadly Demoness is currently being held.

Light: He's more determined than ever now.

Harmony: I know. It's like he now knows what he has to do.

S.T.: I still think I'm walking into a trap, but despite that, I have a feeling I will see her again even if it is the last time. All I know is that I still have to go there. It's like something or someone's been guiding me to this moment the whole time.

Light Harmony: Good Luck.

S.T. Races to the trainstation, after an incident where the train went backwards, he moved forward to Peace Town. To his surprise the facility while a thirty minute distance, was walking distance from the train station. He prepared his bags and went over there.

S.T.: Ok, it's the first time you went to this place. The first time you seen her in a while. The whole thing could be a trap. Yet why does it only feel like predate jitters.

He arrives at the facility and goes in. He notices a birthday sign on one of the receptionist's booth saying "Say Happy Birthday. Don't Tell Her About The Sign."

S.T.: Is it your birthday today?

Receptionist: No, it's tomorrow. Can I help you?

S.T.: Yes, I'm Shane, I'm here to visit Winter.

Receptionist: Is she expecting you?

S.T.: She should be. She's been calling me non stop since she arrived here. I'm her boyfriend.

Receptionist: You're Prince Charming? Let me check for a second.

She dials the phone and when it seems like nothing happening she hangs up.

Receptionist: There's a private room where you can talk to each other. The guard will escort you. What did you bring?

S.T.: Just some clothes and some snacks. Of course per food regulation here.

Receptionist: Ok. Follow the guard.

S.T. and The Guard walk down the hallway to the main unit. He talks to her about a little of the story. To his surprise, she nods understandingly. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the Fair City Hospital. He goes into the unit and sees her for the first time. He hands the bag to security to check it, but his first instinct was to give her the mother of all hugs. Something she accepts and gives back with the same amount of love and strength.

S.T.: I never thought I'd see you again. Are you Ok?

Winter: Ya, I'm fine. They're treating me a lot better here. Plus they gave us an area where we can talk and catch up, but only for a moment.

They sit in the room. He fills her in on what's been going on with him.

S.T.: So after walking through this underground way, I was able to find myself what I was looking for and learn to fix myself. I was leading by your example. I think it was time for a change anyway, I don't want to be the person I was before. I want to be better, not just for me, but for you too.

Winter: Aww, that's so sweet. I'm glad I was able to give you an example to lead. Let's sing together.

They both sang the Pokemon theme word for word, without skipping a beat.

S.T.: I first played a GameBoy Color Yellow Version of the game. It figures us 90s kids would know the theme song.

When it was time to go they give one more hug. With her dancing into it slow dance style. Even though they both said goodbye. She didn't want to let him go. She sent him away, with a half pack of smokes and an orange scented perfume bottle as a gift. He goes home to the relieved looks of Light Harmony.

S.T.: Save for personal obligations and transportation fees, I am allowed to go there whenever I want to visit. I also warned them about the mother and told them my side of the story. They seemed to respond well to it, if not a little disturbed. But the way things went, she never gave up on me, she never stopped loving me and even when we both said goodbye for now, she wouldn't let me go physically. If she could tie me up and lock me in the locker for the night, she would.

Light: Amazing. Even after all you two went together you've both found a way to make it work.

Harmony: It's like your relationship stood the test of time.

Time.

T.......i..........m............e....................

And as if a flood of memories kept rushing in.

S.T.: Time. That's it!!

Light Harmony: What is it.

S.T.: That day I got robbed and she gave me that pep talk, Winter was wearing an outfit I seen before. In a dream I had when I was 18 years old. Only it was incomplete, it was missing a few things. Even though I met her through her childhood in glimpses, it was around the same time I started having those dreams. Now, you two as well as myself encountered some strange shit in our years. However, even this you'd find hard to believe, but I'm saying it anyway. That time I saw her in person in that outfit, wasn't her from the present. That was future her. She went back to that moment to help me. It's also why she was able to pop out everywhere.

Light: Ya, you walked the same path trying to figure out her direction and yet when you stop and give up, she's always there. You sense that she's close and she finds you.

Harmony: If what you're saying is true, then that means all those times you met her in different states, you met her both in present and future. It's why it confused us whenever we saw her in different ways. Even those times she was getting your attention before, it was in outfits including 80s flair. She could have at one point travelled to the 80s to get the look right.

S.T.: I cannot believe this. I cannot even believe I'm saying this. If what you're saying is true, then I've basically not only been dating a time traveler, but I gave her the abilities to do it. Which means....which means.....she's somehow managed to watch me in every aspect of my life in various planes of existence and ensuring both her survival and our future, by guiding me into a stable time loop. It's why she's not calling me now, even though she calls me a lot. She's going back.

Suddenly a crack of lightning hits. Yet it's snowing.

Light Harmony: Thundersnow, but why now. It rarely happens here?

S.T.: Oh no. It's the weather, that usually happens when someone is messing with time. Even Nature's trying to comprehend it. What did I do? What is going on here? What could possibly get anymore fucked up than this.

A young lady with red hair shows up asking for a cigarette. S.T. Gives her one, while still talking to Light Harmony, but gives her odd glances, before she leaves.

S.T.: Wait a minute. That girl, she looks like my girlfriend but different....she has her sister's hair colour. It's dyed, but it's the same damn colour I recognize it. Oh no....it can't be.

Light: Couldn't be. She looks younger than you unless...

Harmony: It's her from the past.

S.T.: Her and her sister switched places. Her past self visited me now, days before I visited her present self. That's why she trusted me right away. She met me here and now before she went back. What kind of timey wimey bullshit is this? The whole time. The whole literal time. We created a Grandfather Paradox. I am scared, I am angered, it seemed like more people knew and yet I feel so fucking happy. Do you know why?

Light Harmony: Why's that.

S.T.: I don't know when, I don't know where, but somewhere in that space time continuum my girlfriend is setting the conditions to prepare for some kind of ultimate union. The outfit she was wearing, is what she wants to become. An outfit that along with the order, helped me inspire mine. I was once known as the Indigo Angel. An Angel with the ability to navigate through and sometimes even profit off all the chaos that surrounds me. She came from a family of Demons, yet all she wants is peace, love and happiness. I'm the Angel of Chaos, She's The Demon of Peace. And she's doing what she can to help me create a personal peace, while I indulge in some of her more harmless chaos. This woman is the literal woman of my dreams and I some how made her into something more powerful than even us. When she comes back, things are gonna be very good from here on.
