Hi Tim, this is Blaine. How have you been?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Hey! I've been good, how are you?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

I've been okay.

I went home over the weekend.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

You went.... [Pauses.] Wait, the Core sent you home!? Just to bring you back!?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

That's right. I was there for six months but I remember it being Friday here. [He was gone over the weekend]

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...So you were gone for only a few days, but home six months. [Frowns.] That's more then a little hinky. We just talked about that!

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

I know. That's why I called. I promised I would if that happened to me.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...Are you okay? I mean, do you want me to come over, or are you... you're okay, right? And your friend, is he still here?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

Kurt? Yes, he is. He went with me though. [after a moment] It was disorienting. We went to sleep together back home and woke up together here.

I don't know what I would have done if he was missing when I got back.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Then you're pretty lucky that he came back here with you. That's...I can't believe you left and then came back!

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

I can't either. It was really bizarre.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry that you came back here. Or, were pulled back here, again. Was it nice to be home? Did you remember anything?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

It was and I didn't. Well, not really. It all felt like it was some strange nightmare and the more time that passed the more it the memories faded. Coming back made all those memories come back too.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

So, now that you're back, and you remember everything... what are you going to do?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

Try to settle back in, I guess. [He sounds a little tired though, and there's a bit of a sigh in his voice.]

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Blaine. I wish you had just stayed home, like normal.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

It isn't completely bad. I have friends here.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I saw... you have some new friends here, right? I mean, friends who are from home who just arrived.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

That's right. Rachel and Santana. They're from a timeline before me though, so they don't know that I've transferred to their school. Rachel is a really good friend of mine. Santana is... well, Santana.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, I don't know any Santanas. Though if she's that interesting that her name should be enough to describe her, I kind of wish I knew her.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

She's strong, beautiful and always speaks her mind. Sometimes she can cross the line, but you know she's not lying to you.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Sometimes... sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts a lot more then anything else, from what I've found. I'll have to say hi if I ever see her.

[Pauses.] ...Remember when those... never mind. Forget about it.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay. Those what?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Those pills. I remember you were taking some. But somehow you got clean?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

[And that makes Blaine freeze up. He's silent, because he doesn't trust himself to say anything right away.]
