Serena

Trenton's in my mind again trying to find me and talk. I'm overjoyed, annoyed, and relieved all in one.

“Serena, I need you to try something. Concentrate on the image of the place I'm in," he says and an image races into my mind. "Nathaniel, be ready." I listen and focus on the image with all my being. I imagine Nathaniel there, him moving there. A small gust of air passes over us then he disappears. Panic rises in me. Did it work?

"It's ok. Nathaniel's with me. Ill see you soon," Trenton reassures me. He cuts the connection and I open my eyes. The others stare at me.

"What in the world just happened?!" Kathryn asks. I just shake my head and get my stuff together. I suggest for the others to do the same. Kylie is practically bouncing off the walls with joy, which makes me smile too. Once all my stuff is together (which doesn't take long) I clean up the mess we made in the hotel room. We weren't the cleanest guests. I wipe down the table and attempt to get some of the scratches out. I make our beds then situate the chairs on the balcony. The room looks somewhat presentable. There's nothing else to do so we gather around the table to play cards. After about our fifth round, a gust of air whooshes through the room and three figures appear by the door. One is Nathaniel, the other is Trenton, and to my surprise Aly clinging to Trenton's arm. My mouth opens and closes but no words come out. Kylie is the first to speak, her eyes filled with rage.

"Who's that?" she demands stiffly.

"ALYSSA WETHERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" I yell at Aly.

"Helping you obviously!" she grins back. Kylie clears her throat accusingly and Aly lets go of Trenton in surprise.

"Hi Aly," Kylie gives her fake smile with clenched teeth. "I'm Kylie, Trenton's girlfriend." She says the last two words very slowly. The whole room is silent as they shake hands. Then Kylie shoves her out of the way and throws her arms around Trenton. While they hug, I confront Aly.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I whisper to her angrily.

"I'm helping you survive silly!"

"How did you find me?!"

"I tracked your call. It wasn't exactly rocket science," she laughs. I sigh and hug her.

"I missed you."

"Missed you more," she smiles.

"Missed you most," I smile back.

“Impossible. Now tell me who these people are." I introduce her to everyone and she strikes up a conversation with Eric and Kathryn. Trenton and Kylie finally broke apart and Kylie is in tears. I walk over to Trenton and he cowers a bit even though he's about six inches taller than me.

"Don't do that ever again," I growl.

"I said I was sorry!" he says in exasperation.

"Don't leave us again." I whisper and hug him.

"I promise," he whispers back and lets go. I wipe away the tears that formed in my eyes.

"Hey, you're alright. Everything ok now," he says consoling. I nod and back away. I see Aly questioning Eric and Kathryn, laughing as he flashes red. I join them.

"Oh yay! Now the other part of the relationship can answer my questions!" she giggles. I roll my eyes and sit down.

"So, have you two kissed?" she says, dead serious. I nod with a small smile.

"Ok I'm taking you outside missy." She grabs my arm and leads me into the hallway. After standing in silence she gives me a high five.

"Is he a keeper?" I ask eagerly.

"Definitely! Nice one!" she replies excitedly. "So how did you guys meet?!"

"New York!"

"You went to New York without me?! Not cool."

"And San Francisco."

"Serena!" she cries and punches my arm playfully.

"Well, you get to come to Germany with us!"

"I guess that makes up for it," she grins and we head back inside.
