96 Welcome Back (1/2)

”Don't you think this is enough?” Will complained as he sent yet another pile of clothes into his storage crystal. ”I think you might actually bankrupt Michael if you keep this up.” He was only half kidding of course. For the last few months, Maya had been going on a shopping spree. Ever since she had shed the tattered black dress she wore in the service to Aremesis, her appetite for new clothing and lingerie was legendary. Though Will was slightly annoyed, he did enjoy seeing her try everything on. Even more so when they were taken off.

”It's his fault for this wonderful card!” Maya held the black card up and smiled before putting it in her storage crystal. Since General Risben had so rudely interrupted their vacation in Santa Monica, Will and Maya had traveled to China to see the Great Wall, as well as the Forbidden City. They had also stood atop the appellation mountains and swam in the Atlantic. Will had shown Maya all that he had promised and more.

”I think we have enough clothing to fill up twenty walk in closets in the Kardashian's mansion.” Will grumbled as he looked ahead. They had finally decided that they had seen enough of the world and slowly made their way back to New York. Maya didn't want to go to the Embassy until she had bought something from every store in the city. Will could only grumble as he continued his walk. Though he was slightly annoyed with the shopping, he was enjoying himself. The last few months were some that he wouldn't have imagined he could have.

As they walked through the streets, Will saw a familiar face leaning against a telephone stand. ”About time.” Leo grumbled as he stood straight. ”Do you even know what's been going on here while you two have been on your honeymoon?” his glare shot daggers into Will.

”What's been happening?” Will's carefree attitude melted away as he sensed the atmosphere.

Leo took the lead as they took off into the sky. As they flew to the Embassy, he caught Will up on everything that happened while he was gone. ”So there are two Ragnos heirs now.” Leo concluded as he flew towards the entrance to the courtyard. As they landed, two guards saluted with fist to heart as the three touched down.

”If he really came from the same timeline that the other Will is from, we might be in for a lot more trouble in the future.”

”Actually, we put him in the detention center.” Leo smiled as he opened the door and let Will and Maya through ahead of him.

”I'm not talking about Aiden.” Will admitted. ”If he came through a scar in the timeline, I'm sure that the other me wouldn't miss an opportunity to follow.”

Leo sighed. ”Then we need to increase forces to ensure we don't have a copy of you walking around New York yet.”

”I should head back to Crystallia in a few days.” Will suggested. ”I've been away for too long already. I'm supposed to be the wandering prince in the future, yet I haven't even wandered past the border of Crystallia since I stepped foot in the world of Euphellia.”

”I'm going with too.” Maya said without falter.

”Duh.” Will said with an eye roll. ”Way to put words to the obvious.”

Maya stuck out her tongue and walked past the two. ”Lets at least get something to eat before We leave.”
