New Year gatecrashers

[YellowJedi]

"No, I guess not." Zane sighed.

 

[tamaturtle]

Eleanor had been hoping with all her heart that Zane would say the complete opposite. She sighed heavily. "Well, there's not much we can do about it, really."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded. "Well, we'll deal with it." he told her.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Well... I guess we've gotta survive long enough to have a kid, right?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded. "Yeah, that's a good thing" he said, smiling slightly.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Yeah." Eleanor smiled, moving closer to Zane. "But that's a while yet... yeah?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"I'm not really sure, but yeah, it's probablly a few more years."

 

[tamaturtle]

"We'll just have to be careful then." Eleanor laughed as they arrived back at the house. "Come on. Let's find a TV or something and forget that whole thing happened."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded, smiling slightly. He sat down in the living room and turned the TV on.

 

[tamaturtle]

Eleanor curled up next to Zane, much like they had been doing earlier. "Maybe we should have done something about that other Zane... I think we left his body in the river."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I teleported it away after." Zane told Eleanor.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Nice one." Suddenly Eleanor thought of something. "Zane... that Zane was the one that went along with this timeline. You're the one that's not meant to exist..."

 

[YellowJedi]

"So?" Zane asked like it was no big deal.

 

[tamaturtle]

"So? What if, I dunno, some weird time thing happens and you suddenly don't exist any more?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"I don''t think that would affect my existence, you're worrying too much."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Are you sure?" Eleanor said, truely starting to panic. "After everything that's happened?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane saw Eleanor beginning to panic. "Eleanor, take a deep breath. He's been dead for at least an hour now. If you were right, I'd be gone already."

 

[tamaturtle]

"It might take a while!" Eleanor insisted, pulling away from Zane.

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane stayed quiet. "You're just worrying."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Of course I am! I'm surprised you're not, after everything that's happened!" Eleanor's voice dropped. "I've lost you too many times already."
