"What am I doing here? What is this place?" Prince questioned as he stared his curly headed beauty in the eyes as she held his hand.

  "Don't be so dense! You know is your home. Quit playing dumb." Regan teased.

  "Yes....I know that...but....I don't understand what's going on. Why are you.....younger? Where's Jackson?"

  "Who? Skipper you're losing it. That's what you get for overloading that genius brain of yours and not going to sleep like a normal person."

Prince knew that arguing with someone as headstrong as Regan would be a big mistake on his part and decided to let the situation just be the way it was and live it out until his questions were finally answered. Regan led him down to the very end of the lake where there was a table set up as if they were going to have a romantic picnic alone. Prince's heart began to race out of control as he started to remember this day. This was the day where he and Regan had the chance to actually hang out when she came home from college after she had completed her first year. She had told him that her boyfriend had dumbed her after finals and Prince felt bad that she was coming home with a broken heart. At that time Paisley Park was still being worked on and the only thing that was completed was the lake that stood all by its lonesome. Prince looked at Regan and her hair swayed softly in the spring breeze and her smile warmed him from the inside out.

  "What?" She asked shyly pushing her hair away from her face reveling her honey brown eyes.

  "It's.....just.....your smile. I can't explain how it makes me feel." He said as he stepped a little closer to her.

Prince reached out his free hand to her face running his thumb gently down her cheek causing a deep pink tinge to appear and her smile to grow a little bigger.

  "C'mon troll. The food is going to spoil if we keep standing here." She replied softly.

Regan tried to pull Prince along behind her but he wouldn't budge. He was so engulfed in the rhapsody of her infectious smile and her bright eyes that he couldn't bring himself to take another step. In one swift motion Prince pulled her back to him forcefully making her fall into his chest and held her in place. The two gazed at each other as the wind picked up around them.

  "Skipper....." Regan began but was stopped suddenly.

Prince made sure that she didn't say another word and to do that he kissed her lips causing an ora of electric shockwaves to course through her body like a wave. Her first thought was to stop him but she couldn't. Prince kissing her was all she had ever dreamed of and now that it had happened she let him continue to sweetly kiss her lips and hold her tightly in his strong arms. Once the two had separated from the kiss Prince looked in her eyes and whispered three words to her.

  "Stay with me."

Regan felt her heart pounding against her chest as she could hardly breathe. She looked in his eyes and just when she was ready to give her answer Prince was awakened by the sound of the phone blaring on the nightstand. His eyes flipped open quickly like window shutters and he sat up in his bed from his original supine position. As he let the phone ring to collect his thoughts he was wondering to himself if what he had just experienced was truly real or if his mind was playing tricks on him. Prince pushed that question to the back of his mind and reached for the phone just as it stopped ringing.

  "Come on P. Get it together." He said to himself as he sat at the end of his bed.

He rubbed his eyes and for some reason images of Regan flashed before him once again. Opening his eyes again the flashbacks had stopped. Prince ran for his bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. He couldn't place why Regan was suddenly his focal point. Why was she on his mind so heavily? Drying his face and letting out a sigh he looked in his mirror and once again there she was. Smiling at him from what seemed to be a mere inches away from him. Prince reached his hard out at the mirror to touch her reflection when he phone rang again causing him to turn his head in the direction of the sound. When he turned back to the mirror once again she was gone. Prince was hit with the disappointing notion that she had left him again and wasn't sure what to do to bring her back. He went over to the phone and finally answered.

  "Yeah." He said confused.

  "Hey man it Dez. I've been trying to reach you!"

  "Sorry....I was.....I was asleep. What's up?"

  "Listen. Have you seen or head from Dre at all?"

Prince realized that he hadn't spoken to Andre since he had left the hospital enraged the night before and the shear thought of concern began to grow inside of him.

  "I haven't. Not since last night. What's going on?" Prince asked worried.

The silence over the line was making Prince nervous.

  "Dez? What is it?"

  "The cops found his car a few hours ago on fire in an abandoned lot just outside of Minnetonka." Dez replied with a shaky tone.

Prince felt the sting of fear in his throat as it brought back the memories of his best friend nearly being blown up years back.

  "Dez......find him. Do whatever you have to do to find him alive. Understand?" Prince scolded.

  "I will. I'm on it." Dez said before hanging up.

Prince ran out of his room and called for Tony to round up some guys and to call his lawyers.

  "We need to get to Minnetonka. Now!" Prince demanded.

  "Right away boss."

Tony wasted no time and called on his radio to get the guys together and get a car to get to Minnetonka to find Andre.
