Running Out of Time with You Part Seven
He felt light. Peaceful. Happy.
He opened his eyes and 90s Kid was there, though without his usual clothing…or indeed, any clothing at all, though that didn’t seem wrong here. Dan soon realized that he was in a similar state, but he felt no shame at it. It was innocent now.
“Dude!” 90s Kid smiled widely. “You made it!”
“90s Kid!” Dan pulled him close, kissing him deeply. “Of course I made it…I asked for it.”
“Yeah,” 90s Kid agreed. “Though that Mephisto dude wasn’t happy about it…he said that it was a breach of contract if your soul went here…but I was able to overrule him, cause I’m part of love, and that’s where your wish came from.”
“So we can stay together?”
“Of course, Dan,” 90s Kid said. “We’ll be here, for all of time, and we’ll make everyone else so happy…because when they all feel love, we’ll be the ones who make it possible.”
Dan kissed 90s Kid again. “Good,” he said.

Linkara sighed and rose from the ground. He didn’t know how 90s Kid and Dan would fare, but he knew he couldn’t change it. And he was all right with that.
As he walked back to his apartment, though, he saw another glitch-just a normal glitch, but still annoying. Linkara pulled out his magic gun. “Not today,” he muttered.
But before Linkara could pull the trigger, there was a blast of magic from somewhere behind him that destroyed both the glitch and the wall it was resting on. He turned to see a small girl with red hair staring wide-eyed at him.
“Sorry,” she said. “I just…that’s the only way I know to stop those things…they can do a lot of damage, but…I think I do more.”
Linkara smiled at her. “Don’t worry,” he said. “That’s normal when you’re just starting out.” He held out his hand. “My name is Linkara,” he said. “I’m a Magical Boy…more specifically, a teacher of Magical Boys and Girls.”
The girl smiled and shook his hand. “My name is Margaret,” she said. “And I think I’m going to need your help.”
