YES, CYOA! I vote bring the other Nick through tear! LOL As for the actual chapter... I felt so bad for Kevin in this one. I like how you did the time and place as "Who cares?" because that definitely fit his whole attitude for most of the chapter, understandably. I could just feel the guilt eating away at him. How horrible that he was the one who had to hear Nick's last words, begging him not to let him die and saying how scared he was. :( I'm glad he pulled it together in the end and got the old hero complex back so he can lead the Boys out of this world, hopefully! Sounds like Matt is gonna sabotage the Canadians and end the world on his own terms - love it! I wonder if it's possible for Charlie and the gang to go through the tear with the Boys, but I guess they'd face the same problem as Nick with the whole doppleganger issue. Can't wait to see what Kevin decides to do about Nick/Nick's body and what the consequences of that decision will be in each scenario!

Thanks, Julie! Yup the CYOA is getting closer but you already know that lol I realized that I goofed on the location. You were probably like wtf? This is where an outline would have been a good thing. But enough beating myself up with the museum thing lol thanks for the compliments. It was kind of fun writing them grieving. I haven't written super angst in a long time so it was fun to do it for a few chapters. :-) and thanks for the who knows & who cares reference. I'm sure by then that was the general mood. I probably would have given up at that point.

I can't believe you actually killed a Backstreet Boy! I mean okay there's still an "other" Nick but it counts! LOL. Poor Kevin, this must be tearing him apart. :(. I also love the voting idea :).

Yup, he's pretty dead. Thanks, Rose lol

I am really feeling Kevin's pain here. I have been in that position before when I want to say, "Don't talk to me; don't touch me." Really powerful, Mae. Well, I guess it's the end of this world, as they know it. Funny that they need to get to the museum of natural history to get away from this unnatural place. BTW, I voted, but let me tell you.....it was a difficult choice!
Waiting for the next installment,
Pammy Whammy

Grief is a really personal thing and I know for me, I hate when people pat my back and try to console me. I just transferred that into Kevin. I love the Museum of Natural History. It's one of my favorite places in NYC. Thanks for voting and for the feedback, Pammy!

First of all, great chapter Mare. I often wonder why people say "they are in a better place" too...how do they know? LOL. Whatever they do, they will have to act quick, I'm not sure how long the rip in time will stay open for them and they don't want to miss the chance of getting home.
Secondly, I vote that Kevin grabs the other Nick at the last minute and takes him back to their world. Maybe on the way to the travel spot they could run into him somehow and talk, Kevin could realise that this Nick deserves a second chance, he could realise that he is just like their Nick in every way and won't be able to just leave him in a world which has no future. But whatever happens, I'm sure I'll love it!
Author's Response:
Thanks, Steph! Yes, it always has bothered me when people say the better place thing. I know it's just people trying to make you feel better but I still don't get it. LOL And when people go on and on about how good dead people look in their coffins. Thanks for your vote! :O)

I do know you that well, however I'm just hoping that everyone else votes for whichever one that will be. lmao Here's to hoping! ; ) LOL I would think it's pretty obvious. I even did that on purpose.

I voted...I must say I don't know how I feel about this actually. Just so long as when they get back the kid's alive, I don't care which option it is. Not a fan of unhappy endings. *hint, hint* lol
Author's Response:
Just keep in mind, this is about the end of the world lol thanks for not giving up on the story. I think you know me well enough to figure out one of them might have the outcome you're looking for.

Amazing chapter as usual :) I would love to see them take the other Nick with them. That would be so interesting! I love how this story is coming along, Mare. Can't believe its almost over :(
