OPHELIA

They had explained the matter to Ophelia who had heard the entire thing with a raised eyebrow. Of course Hamlet hadn't narrated it,because if he did they would have been sitting here all day. Finally Ophelia said,"This is one strange day."

Strange lifted his hands,"Please stop with the puns."

Seriously,your last name is Strange and you expect people not to pun? Where is your common sense?

Ophelia rolled her eyes,"Make me."

Strange looked at Hamlet,who shrugged.

He turned his gaze to Horatio who was fiddling with his fingers.

He heaved a huge sigh,"Fine,I surrender."

Ophelia broke out laughing.

Hamlet said,"It does not do well to offend her. She can get quite scary at times."

Ironical.

Sherlock,Strange and John exchanged a look. Ophelia said,"I never really get how you people communicate with these looks. I suppose I have no one to pass looks with." Hamlet began,"My sweet lady...." Ophelia said,mimicking his tone,"My sweet lord." Horatio averted his eyes. Then the three of them burst out laughing. They were quite mental,John was convinced of the fact.

Or perhaps royalty who wishes to loosen up.

Horatio said,"We must be confusing you..."

Sherlock said,"No its quite amusing to observe you all. Pray go on."

The medieval trio looked confused at that comment.

Strange became Who
And went woohoo
I must be watching too much of TV.

John hurriedly interrupted,"He is a detective you see..."

Sherlock interrupted,"The world's only unofficial consulting detective."

The medieval trio blinked and said simultaneously,"Okay."

Which sent the modern trio laughing.

Horatio said,"What do you all plan to do over here?"

Strange scratched his head,"I dunno,maybe we can give you a tour of our world or maybe you all can give us a tour of yours. Or maybe both."

That would have been fantastic under different circumstances.

Hamlet and Horatio communicated soundlessly and Ophelia annoyed at being left out,flopped down on her seat with a pout.

The modern trio were also communicating through looks. They were arguing about whose universe they will take them to,provided that the medieval trio agreed to come.

Ophelia was staring at the ceiling.

Quite an interesting lady with an infinite capacity for being nice. Hmm...

She was thinking about the summer vacation and how she would again be left alone when it ended. She did go to school as well but it was not Wittenberg. Also that school was filled with annoying girls.

You remind me of my school days now.

She was basically sick of this inferior treatment but she suppressed her feelings. The thing was that when they became too much too bear,she would burst out and lose all control of her self. It was not like she could argue with her father. Neither was she allowed to contradict her brother. The only people who treated her like a normal human being were the Prince and Horatio.

Hamlet and Horatio finished their discussion just as modern trio finished their discussion.

Hamlet intoned,"We would love to visit your place."

Horatio said,"Indeed,it would be quite an adventure."

Strange nodded and said,"Then you are welcome to my place. We are going to go their through a portal."

Hamlet raised an eyebrow,"And are you planning to throw us into the water?"

Quite an interesting idea,though I am not really interested in doing that. Right now at least.

Strange nodded his head vehemently,"No,no,never. It was an accident. No harm will come to you."

Except fan girls,I suppose.

Hamlet sighed and said,"Fine then,ere before dawn,we would set out on this venture. Horatio,are you fine with it?"

Horatio rolled his eyes in reply.

Hamlet pretended not to notice that and said,"Speak up,fellow scholar."

Horatio snorted and said in the most sugary voice,"Yes,my sweet lord,I would absolutely love to go with you." He then gave an exaggerated bow which Hamlet mimicked and said,"I am honored,my friend."

Okay,this is one of my best ideas. I haven't laughed this much in a while.

The modern trio started laughing. Sherlock laughed so much that he had to hold onto a chair to support himself.

Hamlet straightened up and turned to Ophelia,"My lady,would you accompany me and my friend on this marvelous venture of the age after?"

Ophelia giggled,"I would love to,"her eyes went dull however when she said,"But I don't think that father would approve."

Said father walked into the room that very moment.

Ophelia seized that opportunity and said before he could speak,"Father,may I have your permission to accompany the Prince and Horatio on a trip?"

Polonius,taken aback said,"Where to?"

Strange answered,"To our place. We want to show Hamlet our home."

Polonius frowned,"And where might that be?"

"Greece,"Hamlet intervened.

Ophelia said,"Father please,I have always wanted to visit Greece."

Polonius was taken more aback. His daughter never talked to him in this manner something was fishy. However,he also realized that he had to let Ophelia go to seem good in the Crown Prince's eyes.

He relented,"Fine then. But no fishy business behind my back."

"None at all,"All the six chirped.

With a last look at them,Polonius turned out of the hall.

They all heaved a collective sigh when he departed. Now they had to obtain the King and Queen's permission and make arrangements accordingly.

This was going to be fun.

It was to be honest.
