I have a tale to tell you, Myrcella

Rating: Low/None
Status: Complete
It had been a while since Myrcella had last saw Billy, she had worried for a while that he’d started college even earlier than he said he was going to and had forgotten about her. But he’d promised he wouldn’t and then she had received a text asking her to meet him for ice cream. She’d happily agreed and was now stood outside the ice cream shop waiting for him to arrive. She hadn’t seen him since before Halloween, which seemed crazy, and she had so much to tell him.
Billy smiled as he walked toward the shoppe. His scooter was parked around the side at the place the shoppe provided, and he was bouncy in his step as he spotted Myrcella. He was trying to meet up with all of his friends, and introduce them to the new him, one at a time. He hoped she would not freak out, now that he was five years older.
“Excuse me, Myrcella?” Billy smiled, spreading his hands as he approached, and his eyes, well, they were entirely Billy’s.
Myrcella looked up at the sound of her name, frowning a little she opened her mouth to ask who he was and how he knew her but closed it again as she looked at him, “Billy?” she asked tentatively and confused.
“That would be me. I have a tale to tell you, Myrcella.” He grinned as he nodded to her and opened the door. “Lets sit, and I can tell you the whole thing.Its a long tale and a thirsty one. I’ll need a chocolate milk for sure. Maybe two.” He smiled to her and then he moved to hold the door, grinning. His voice was gentle, and deeper than it had been , but his grin was as warm as ever.
“Oh my god” Myrcella said, this was crazy but as he smiled she knew it was definitely Billy. “This is amazing. I cannot wait to hear all about how ‘this’ happened” she gestured to him before entering with him.
He entered and smiled as he headed to their usual table, then settled in. He smiled warmly as she joined him, ordering a chocolate milk and a chocolate fudge sundae. He deserved one!
“So,. it all started when I was drafted to help my friend out…” and he told her the whole story of signing up to help on the time travel mission, getting stuck in time with Cora, living and growing up there, and then being yanked back. “...and so now I am just trying to relax and get used to this time again. Ah, how have you been?”
“Bloody hell Billy” Myrcella said once he’d finished his story, “Are you okay? I bet it’s been a bit of a shock coming back and having to settle back in again especially when you have to tell your friends” like her for example she supposed.
“I am, mostly. Mostly I have just been slowly getting over the shock of it, you know? Being there for so long then being back here. and yeah, its odd, but having awesome friends like you helps.” He poked her with a grin. But it was also true. She was an amazing friend.
Myrcella smiled happily and nodded, “I’m glad you got back here okay” she told him, “You’re a great friend Billy and I’d have really missed you. If you need anything just let me know okay?”
“Thanks. Mostly I am just trying to get used to normal things like lots of people and shampoos and electronic stuff and cars again.” He grinned at her. “We should hang out and do something soon.”
He waved a hand. “Something… modernish.”
“I can’t even begin to imagine how different things must be then to now” Myrcella said, “But of course I’m always happy to hang out. Modernish...” she mused, “Like a theme park? Or is that a bit too much?” There were a lot of people there after all and he was getting used to that again.
“That… that could be okay? With a friend along.” He smiled to her. “You might get a lot of hugs during it.” He nodded, and then grinned. He was sure she would not mind.
“Luckily I like hugs” she grinned, “And yours are pretty good” she teased him, “We should go in the week, it’ll be a little quieter I think”
Billy grinned at her and hugged her. Just because. “Good. I was hoping you liked them. I need to be sure I give good hugs.”
He nodded, enthused. “Sounds like a plan to me. You’re a good friend, Myrcella.”
She chuckled and returned the hug, "You can be sure" she smiled
"So are you Billy, I want to hear more about your travel in time too" she added, "my curiosity is piqued"
“I’ll be glad to tell you. I was stuck back in time with my best friend, Cora, who I’ve known forever, and we really had to go undercover from day one…” And he told her more about living as a married couple in name, and in house, and growing fond of one another, despite both having desires elsewhere. He told her about their encounter with the supercrocodile and the alien dragon, and of their flight from Egypt to Europe.
“...and once we settled in again, life was really a lot better there.”
"I can't believe you've been through so much" Myrcella said, "it's truly incredible. Are you and Cora pursuing something here?" she asked, always a fan of a romance.
Billy blushed and shook his head. “No, ah… see, I kinda already was in love with someone, but could never do anything or even really admit it. Because I was underage and she was over age, and even though we never so much as kissed, if anyone found out, well… it would ruin her. But now.,.. now I am 22 and I can pursue her, and so, ah… I am.” He was blushing bright purple.
Myrcella smiled brightly, "Oh how very romantic" she exclaimed, "Absolutely amazing. Oh I do hope you get your happy ever after Billy, you truly deserve it"
“Thanks, Myrcella.” He grinned at her. “How are things going for you? Anyone caught your eyes?” He was curious as they had never talked about it before. Not really anyway.
She blushed a little but nodded, "I'm dating Jeremy Gilbert" she admitted, "He asked me to be his girlfriend on Halloween"
“Awesome~! Congratulations, Myrcella!” He whooped and hugged her. “That’s really cool!”
Myrcella laughed, "Thank you Billy" she smiled, "I'm really happy. It's new and exciting"
“Isn’t it awesome though?” He grinned at her, and nodded, eyes warm. “When you find someone and you know? That is awesome.” He poked her lightly. “I’ll have to meet this young man sometime, just to see who is making my friend so happy.”
“It is” she agreed giggling as he poked her before nodding, “Maybe the four of us could go out? So I can meet your girl too” she suggested.
“I’ll definitely ask. It sounds like a fun night.” He smiled to her and hugged her impulsively again. “I’m very glad we can still meet like this.”
Myrcella nodded, it did sound like fun. "Me too" she agreed smiling, "Are you still going to go to college?" she asked.
“Oh yes. I’m finishing my diploma now, and working on my advanced credentials. With a friend or two in the right place, my records now show that I did some time in the military and am just coming back and that my paperwork was lost for a number of years.” He smiled softly at her. “I’m hoping to step right in, since while I resemble the former Billy Batson, I also do not, in many ways.”
Myrcella nodded, "I'm glad you have friends who can help, I imagine it could be rather awkward otherwise. I'm still going to miss you at school but you'll just have to keep me updated with everything you're doing"
“We’ll keep up, and hang out, and absolutely! And before you know it you’ll be coming to college too!” He grinned at her and nodded, enthused by the idea. “Maybe we’ll share a dorm.”
“That would be a lot of fun” she smiled brightly, “I can’t wait to start college. I just know you’re going to do great”
“And so are you. Friends against the world.” He grinned at her and poked her gently.. “We’ll both do awesome.” He nudged her lightly. “I have faith in us.”
Myrcella nodded and chuckled at the poke, “Me too. And this way you’ll be able to show me the ropes when I get there” she smiled up at him nudging back before hugging his arm, “You’re a good friend Billy, I’m glad you got back to us”
“I’ll show you the ropes any time you like. What else are friends for?” He hugged her back. “You are too, and me too! I want to be here with the people I love.” With a smile he nodded, knowing he was home at last.
