"How long will it be for?"

"Up until all of your memories return."

"You're taking my memories away?!"

"For a good reason, Garroth. Don't worry...it'll all return to you."

"And you're sure I'm going to be able to see him again?"

"See him, positively. Trust me. Fate isn't against you."

"Will he remember me?"

"You don't exist in his world."

"Then what's the point?!"

"There's no way to return him to you all, in this dimension. He's gone. The only chance, to cure you, is for you to find him, where he still exists..."

"I see..."

"Once all of your memories return, I'll be back. I'll take you home again..."

"Will...everyone else be there..?"

"Mostly. But, remember, you'll probably experience major culture shock. This dimension is completely different from ours. Everyone here you know and love, are not the same. Even, him..."

"He's not going to be the same..? How do you know this will even work, then?!"

"Listen...this is the best possible world I can find, where you don't exist, and he does! Garroth, this is our last resort!"

"Fine...I'll go..."

~~~

"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty!" A voice yelled, causing me to sit up instantly. My head shot around, to see the one and only Laurance standing in the doorway.

"What happened?! Is everyone okay?!" I jumped out of bed, on high alert. My instincts were telling me, this was the right thing to do.

Laurance leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms. He looked me up and down, his eyebrow rose.

"Do you...uh...sleep in your clothes?" He asked, letting out a small chuckle. "Dude, that's freaking weird."

I looked down, to see I was indeed wearing the outfit that girl had picked out for me, yesterday. What was her name, again? Uh...Aphmau? Yeah, it was Aphmau.

"And?" I questioned Laurance, not sure what had bothered him so much, about my attire. This wasn't normal?

"Okay, Weirdo...whatever," Laurance rolled his eyes, pushing open the door a bit more. "Dante wanted me to ask, if you were up for Breakfast."

"Uh...sure," I replied, shrugging.

"I can't wait for you, to get your ass out of our house," Laurance muttered, just loud enough for me to hear him. I glared at the brunette, storming out of the room.

"Me too," I scowled, pushing past him.

What's his problem?!

~~~

"So, Garroth, you feelin' better?" Dante kindly asked, leaning forward.

"Very much so," I prodded at the large meal that hath been given to me.

Everyone here had been so gracious. And by everyone, I excluding Laurance from the equation. He is so damn annoying and persistent. I'm not sure how Dante and Travis can tolerate the guy! He's rude, confusing, and obnoxious! I can't wait to leave, just so I don't have to see him again.

"Well, you better be grateful. Considering how much freaking money we spent on you!" Laurance glared at me, from across the table. "Dante, this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous!"

"Laurance, you are being the ridiculous one," White-Haired man said, biting a piece of his toasted bread. "Just let it go, will ya? Dante has his reasonings, and I trust him."

He's starting to grow on me, as well...

"Thank you, Travis," Dante smiled, sipping his water. "Garroth, you wanna come around the street with us? We can introduce you to some people."

"That'd be...nice. I guess," I shrugged, wanting to do anything but be here.

Where even is "here". It's called Mystreet, but this place altogether... It seems so...unfamiliar.

But then, some of the people... I feel like I know them from somewhere. Like Dante, Katelyn, especially Aphmau. Most of them seem recognizable...

Except for Laurance.

He doesn't seem to ring any bells. His face, his voice, his snobby attitude. Nothing about him, clicks... It's odd...

And that dream I had, makes it all stranger...

Who is "he"?

~~~

"Knock, knock, Weirdo. I'm coming in."

I groaned, automatically knowing who it was. The guest room door slammed open, to reveal...low and behold, Laurance! Yay...I'm so ecstatic about him being here.

"What do you want?" I asked, my voice remaining monotone. I was never in the mood, to be around him. I stared at the bedsheets, not amused by the current situation.

"You."

Excuse me?

I turned around, to face him. He pushed his hair out of his face, an idiotic smirk plastered on it. I could hardly imagine what he was thinking. He didn't say much more, but he made careful movements towards me.

My first reaction, was to reach for my sheath. But, it wasn't there. And, neither was my sword. So, I was left unarmed. Fantastic...

"What are you doing?" I managed to ask, as I backed up into a wall.

"Well..," Laurance slammed his hands on both sides of me, grinning madly. It was almost like, he had a spark of fire in his eyes. "...The answer would typically be... You know what, screw it. The answer to that, is... hopefully you."

Laurance sent a wink my way, as I uncomfortably shifted. I wasn't sure what he meant. Again, he made no sense. I also wanted to push him off of me, but he now had my arms restrained. He was actually much stronger than he appeared. How I wish I was at my full potential...

"Pardon, but...what are you talking about? And, what are you doing?" I clenched my fists tight, trying really hard not to punch him in his stupid face.

It took a lot off effort, not to.

"Isn't obvious, Blondie~? I'm madly in love with you~" Laurance purred, moving his face closer to me.

What a freaking Psycho.

"I'm about to kick you in a region, that should never be kicked. So, before I do that, you might want to get off of me," I threatened, my voice dark and brooding.

"Aww, come on~. Don't you feel the same~?" Laurance had managed, to move even closer to me.

"No."

"You don't mean that, baby~"

"Baby"?! I am no infant!

"Laurance?" A new voice spoke. "What the Hell are you doing?"

Laurance's sighed, backing away from me. He turned around, and I looked behind him. Dante stood in the doorway, appearing as if he was holding in bursting out into laughter. What was so funny about what just happened?! It was confusing as all Hell. My Irene...

When can I go home..?
