Me and Clay were sitting in the middle of nowhere where Saber had left us. We sat on two comfortable leather chairs and between us was a small table with a cola and pizza so that we could help ourselves. In front of us was an old, intimate TV set on a wooden box, which showed us no TV program, no.... It showed us what our eyes could see,our stone forms.

I had a remote control from it, so that we could switch all the "recorded" by our eyes what was happening in Fortrex. Did anyone miss us? Well.... 

- Okay, so we watch? - I asked, already having the remote control in my hand. Clay nodded and took a slice of pizza to his hand. I sighed and turned on the machine. To our eyes appeared once again Macy! A smirk appeared on my lips and I looked at Clay, who had frozen in place without moving.

- Woho! Again, your just a friend visited us.... Or rather, she visited you! - I said with a devilish smirk. - Well, let's see what she tells us now. - I laughed lightly.

Macy stood in front of us and looked at us, mainly at Clay with despondency. I put the remote control and the pizza on the table and leaned more towards the screen, Clay did too, he put his hand on his chin, listening carefully to Macy's words.

- Hi Clay, Hi (N/N). I know I've said this several times before, but.... I keep blaming myself that what happened to you is.... my fault.

----

I groaned in exasperation and leaned back in my chair. - And here we go again... MACY IS NOT YOUR FAULT!

----

- I put so much pressure on you to save my mom, I.... was so angry and furious and couldn't focus on the mission that I unloaded my stress on you.... But I didn't expect this was our last mission and that.... you guys are gone. I could have done something and help you, but.... I didn't make it. I saved my mom, but I lost my best friends.

----

- Aww that's so sweet, Macy. - I said quietly with a smile. - You're my best friend too and who knows? Maybe you'll be my future sister-in-law? - I said and my smile widened, I glanced at Clay out of the corner of my eye.

- (Y/N) don't comment!

- But that's what I'm here for, I can't keep quiet! Especially when the action is getting interesting!

- Keep quiet and listen!

----

Macy's eyes welled up with tears and she laughed lightly. - Merlok told us to treat you as if you were still here with us. I try to talk to you, to treat you as if you were here, but.... This is difficult. Gone is that Clay, who always sent his little sister to wake us up for training at six in the morning and she yells at us through a megaphone. Gone is that (Y/N) who was always around and annoyed everyone around her.

----

- She says it as if we died. Hello, we're still here! - I called out, but stopped when Clay looked at me warningly.

- Sister. Be quiet and let me listen.

I raised my hands in a gesture of surrender and took a cola from the table and sipped.

----

- I still wanted to ask you about so many things, Clay.... I don't know what to think right now, about us. I... since my young years, since the Knights Academy I.... - she stopped and looked behind her to see if Ava or Merlok were eavesdropping on her. She sighed and looked at us again.

- I like you Clay and I know... now I know that you like me too, but.... like someone important in your life. I like you too, Clay, and I miss you.... Without you it is so, quiet and lifeless.... Your presence was always felt, whatever you were doing, whether you were training or arguing with Lance.... Aaron now since we found out that you chose him as leader, he took your place, training and talking with Merlok.... I think it's because he miss (Y/N), Lance miss her too.

----

I froze slightly and felt my heart pounding in my chest.... Did Lance miss me? Of course he missed me, after all we were best friends besides Macy and we understood each other perfectly. I was always there for him to listen to his problems and he was there for me.

Me and Clay exchanged glances and resumed listening to Macy.

----

- Everyone miss you... Oh, Clay. I didn't wanted it all to end like this. I would do anything to turn back it all and change the course of events so that you two would be here with us.... I'm so sorry, Clay. Please, please come back to us, both of you come back to us, without you the fight against Monstrox will be so difficult.... I have fears that if Jestro finds out about you guys.... they may take advantage of this in some way.... I beg you to come back to us.... I don't know how much I will hold it back.... I... I love you, Clay, and I miss you.

----

I gasped almost dramatically and put my hand over my mouth, looked at Clay in shock and almost fell off my chair laughing. Clay straightened up like a spring and was very red in the face, looking at the screen with his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly open.

I slightly choked on my laughter and my mouth started to hurt from the wide smile on my lips. My ship comes true!! I feel almost fulfilled.... Now all I have to do is to help them confess their feelings to each other. 

- Macy loves you, brother! I said she loves you! - I squealed happily and clapped my hands. Clay was still frozen, as if millions of thoughts were raging in his head, and they probably are.

Finally, he took a deep breath and sank back into his chair still red in the face. I watched him, and my smile still didn't disappear. Clay slipped his hands into his hair and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

- Macy... she loves me? - he said to himself in disbelief. I watched him as this information slowly entered his brain.

- Macy loves you! Haha! I knew it from the beginning and you don't pretend not to love her either! - I exclaimed and got up from my chair to approach him. - Hey, brother have you assimilated this information into your brick head? She loves you!

- Yeah, yeah I know I understood! - Clay interrupted my tirade and sighed again and closed his eyes. I furrowed confused.

- Hey, are you all right? I thought it made you happy that your feelings was reciprocated?

- I'm happy about that, really very happy, but.... - he paused and sighed again. - We're trapped in these bodies and God knows when we will be free I.... I don't know when the opportunity will come to confess.... I'm worried that when we return she will find someone else.

This surprised me. This is the first time I've seen Clay like this, worried that someone might take away the love of his life. I stammered slightly, but waved it off. - Are you kidding brother? Macy has been into you since the beginning, when we first met. She for nothing, but it's for nothing! She will not change her feelings for you.

Clay looked at me with uncertainty. - Are you sure?

I nodded. - Yes, I swear on my entire collection of The Umbrella Academy gadgets and comic books that she will.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, which I reciprocated and lightly poked him on the shoulder with my fist. I walked away from him and was about to sit back in my chair when he asked me.

- (Y/N)... How does Macy know that I love her?

I froze and swallowed slightly, feeling Clay's gaze on my back. I turned toward him with a nervous smile and shrugged. - I don't know, maybe she figured it out on her own?

Clay furrowed and shook his head. - No. She didn't know for so many years, and now all of a sudden she found out? Someone must have told her.... - Then he stopped and looked at me in shock. A shudder went through me as he sent me an annoyed look.

- You told her. 

- Me?! No, no! Where did you get this idea? - I laughed nervously and scratched my neck. Clay clenched his teeth and quickly got up from his chair, I stepped back. My brother looked at me like an eagle looking for its prey.

- You're lying, I can see how nervous you are. You told her!

I felt sweat running down my forehead and swallowed once more. - Well, you know me... I had doubts that we would ever return and.... sort of... I made such a farewell speech, right? Well, and... I sort of... slipped up?

Clay clenched his hands into fists and I could swear as a growl of rage came from his throat. His eyelid twitched with anger and I know that if I don't run away now, he will hit me. So I looked behind him and pretended that someone was behind him. - Merlok?

Clay paused for a moment and turned around, then I took my chance and started running through the wilderness to the forest we came from. Clay quickly gasped and realized what was happening and began to chase after me.

- GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE...! YOU'LL REGRET THIS!!!

- NO THANKS I CHOOSE LIFE!!
