Kim's been writing out her memories, sorting them into "real" and "not real".

It's much easier now, even if certain images will never leave her head, she knows they never happened.

At least, she knows why they happened now. How things changed, why she was stuck there...and she knows that her dad's not dead and that Chase isn't a terrorist.

She still hasn't been spending much time in the bar, but she might go down at some point.

Slowly she's been able to get used to being around people again - but she craves silence more than she ever has before.

'You know the man in that chair wasn't your dad, stop thinking about him,' she commands her mind, but it's no use, she doesn't think she'll ever be able to erase that memory.

He looked at her not with fear but with resignation and the man standing near her, his hand touched her hair and she'd wanted to run but she couldn't move and...

'Stop thinking about it. It's not real. It didn't happen. Stop.'

She holds a few strands of hair in front of her eyes, looking at the color and hating it all over again. 'Need to get hair dye,' she thinks.

Chase knocks on the door, in a reasonably cheerful mood.

She's smiling and that's the most wonderful thing he's seen in weeks. "I heard you were feeling better?"

[OOC: *miserable* You know the drill. I'm really sorry. Can I pick this up as soon as I can tomorrow? It's just that I have to get up early.]

[OOC: Woo. Okay, back, finally. Was at my grandma's.]

"I was probably just going for a run. It's funny, because when I tried to go see you earlier, you weren't in your room either."

He leans on the doorframe. "Can I come in?"

[OOC: Cool! Was it fun?]

He closes the door quietly behind him. "Remember what?"

[OOC: Awesome! Glad you had fun!]

Chase can't pretend he hasn't been insanely curious about that, but he hangs back, not wanting to upset her by asking her to retell it. "Do you want to talk about it?"

[OOC: DC was great. :) I really, really want to go to Georgetown, but I don't know if I can get in.

Is there a way Kim could maybe not tell Chase right now? Because he's been in a cheerful mood for the past two days, but if he found out that the alternate universe stuff was all his fault, massive amounts of breakage would naturally ensue. :)]


"Do you mean...how the alternate universe got to be there?"

[OOC: Thanks! Oh, okay, good. I didn't know what she was going to say, but just wanted to mention it.]

He exhales with relief, gently touching her shoulder. "I'm glad," he says softly. He can't imagine how horrible it must have been to think that all the evil things that happened there were real.

He bites his lip and pulls her into a tight hug. "Don't apologize. There isn't anything to apologize for. You didn't know what was real and what wasn't. It wasn't your fault."

"God, I missed you too." He can't even begin to describe how wonderful it is to have her back. His breath catches a little bit in his throat, and he kisses her forehead, holding her tighter.

"I don't know how she did it, but it's incredible." He exhales slowly, pulling himself together. "I'm just...I'm just so glad you're okay..."

[OOC: Going to dinner + movie with mom, but I'll be back on later tonight.]

He closes his eyes, swallowing the slight sob that rises in his throat. "I was so worried about you."

"Kim, you don't have to apologize...you couldn't have known that would happen..."

He pulls back to look her in the eye, gently touching her hair. "Just as long as you're back, and you're safe, and your memory's fixed, I'm happy. There's no need for an apology for anything."

"I love you too," he whispers, voice breaking a little.

"I just wish there was some way I could help the dreams stop."

"Yeah...yeah, of course." Oh, god, he's missed her so much it hurts, and he doesn't want to sleep alone tonight either.

The smile makes him feel a little bit weak-kneed. "Okay. I'll be out here."

The Bar never provides Chase with bed clothes, so he's just wearing his typical boxers and t-shirt, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching Niles swim around.

He looks up as she comes into the room and gets up so that she can get into bed.

He gets into bed beside her. "I think Chris must have been," he says, feeling a little guilty even though he wouldn't have been able to take care of the fish, for more than one reason.

He closes his eyes and slips an arm around her waist, nestling closer.

He's just so unbelievably happy to have her back, to have the familiar warmth of her body in his arms and to know that she's going to be okay, that everything's right again. "Goodnight," he whispers, tucking the covers in around them.

[OOC: Is that a wrap?]

[OOC: *squee* They're just so cute.]
