Chapter 43 - Similarities
The hangar was crowded when Megan and the boys finally arrived.
Jones pushed through the people to get to them. "Looks like you'll have an audience."
Megan sighed and rolled her eyes. "As long as they don't get in the way."
Jones nodded. "Alright! Clear a path!"
The people parted to form a path to the Vulture.
Jones led them to the skycraft. Warren, Seth, and Kendra waited for them on deck.
"What exactly is going on?" Warren walked over.
Megan smirked. "You'll see."
"Who are these guys?" Seth asked, staring at the boys.
Megan looked from Seth to the boys. "This is Twitch, Jace, and Cole." She gestured to each of them. "I knew Twitch and Jace before, but Cole's new here, like you guys."
"You guys are from Earth?" Cole asked almost excitedly.
"Yeah." Warren answered a bit confusedly. "Connecticut to be exact. How about you?"
"Arizona." He shrugged.
Warren nodded. "They've got some nice preserves there."
Jace pulled Megan aside. "Okay, Who are these people?"
"I told you, it's my brother and his friends." She replied.
"I know that." Jace grabbed her shoulder and took another step away. "But what is he talking about? 'Preserves'? And why was he confused when Cole asked him about Earth?"
Megan bit her lip. "Umm..."
He sighed. "You haven't told him."
"I tried." She defended. "He just didn't understand."
"So, you're just going to let him believe this is all happening in his world and everyone he loves still remembers him?" Jace crossed his arms.
Megan sighed. "No, but I can't tell him now."
He raised an eyebrow.
"I WILL tell him, but I'm going to do it when we're not surrounded by people." She assured.
Jace nodded and they walked back over the the others.
"There she is!" Jones called from the his place near the wheel of the ship.
Megan moved to the side of the ship and peered out. The castle was rather small with a simple design and no courtyard. Despite its simplicity, Warren and Seth gawked at it.
Kendra's eyes widened in amazement.
"That... is a Skycastle." Megan rested her elbows on the wall.
"It's incredible." Kendra finally said.
Megan smiled. "Welcome to my world."
"Megan!" Jace called from the lifeboat.
She straightened. "Show time." She paused as she walked away. "Be careful and don't fall out. There's no bottom." She turned and leapt into the lifeboat, leaving Warren and the kids in shock.
