*Ariana's POV*
"Hey there Princess." Lucas smiled. I smiled and hugged Lucas.
"Hey Luke." I smiled. I then hugged Hallie and we all sat down at the table. I sat next to Alex on one side and Hallie and Lucas sat next to each other on the other side.
We made small talk and then the waitress wrote down our orders.
"Alex won't tell me anything about the date you two went on. Now be honest with me Ariana, did he screw it up?" Lucas smiled at me. Alex glared at him and I laughed.
"No he didn't screw it up." I smiled. One of my hands was under the table and I held onto Alex's that was also under the table. "It was perfect." I smiled at Alex. Lucas nodded in approval.
"You're welcome for the wine, by the way." He laughed. Alex and I laughed.
"It was very good." I smiled.
"See honey I told you they would like it!" Hallie said to Lucas. She then turned to us. "Lucas doesn't think I have good taste in wine." She shook her head.
"Because you don't!" Lucas Said.
"Yes I do! My taste is better than yours!" She said. Alex and I laughed at the two.
"Bull crap! You have bad taste just like I do!" Lucas Said.
"I guess that's one of the things we have in common." Hallie laughed at him.
"I guess so." He laughed. The two then kissed and I smiled at them. They seem so happy. I looked over at Alex and saw him smiling at the couple too. Maybe one day that will be Alex and I.
"So how have you been Ariana?" Hallie asked me.
"Lately I've been great." I smiled. "What about you two?" I asked Hallie and Lucas.
"Luke can we tell them?" Hallie smiled at her husband. Tell us what?
"Yeah." Lucas smiled and nodded.
"What do you want to tell us?" Alex asked his best friend. The married couple smiled at each other and then back at us. Whatever they're going to tell us must be really exciting!
"I'm pregnant." Hallie smiled. Alex and I looked at them in shock. She's pregnant!
"And we want you two to be the Godparents." Lucas smiled at us. Alex and I smiled at each other and then back at our friends.
"Congrats!" We both smiled. We all stood up and hugged each other. Then we all sat back down in our seats.

"So how far along are you?" I asked Hallie.
"Five weeks." She answered.
"So what is this kid gonna call me? I'm like your brother!" Alex said to Lucas.
"Uncle Alex, I guess." He shrugged. "You are the godfather." He said to him.
"So that would make Ariana, Aunt Ariana." Hallie smiled. This is so exciting!
"Just think if it's a girl you can protect her, like my Dad and Uncle Jimmy protect me." I said to Alex and Lucas. The two smiled and high fived across the table.
"Yes! We're the next Justin and Jimmy!" Lucas laughed.
"Then we'll control them if they get to over protective." I laughed with Hallie. She laughed and nodded.
"This is going to be great." Hallie smiled.
"What do you guys want? Boy or girl?" I asked them.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the baby is healthy." Hallie smiled.
"I want a girl." Lucas smiled. He looks so happy! I am so happy and excited for them!
We all ate our food and left the diner.
"We have to do this again." Lucas smiled.
"Yeah man!" Alex smiled.
"Maybe you two could come over for dinner at our new house sometime." Hallie suggested.
"Of course! Just let us know when and we'll be there!" I smiled. We all hugged and left in our separate cars. "Do you want to go to my house and watch a movie or something?" I asked Alex.
"Sure." He nodded. He drove us to my house and we walked inside.
"Dad? Jess?" I called. The two came from separate rooms.
"Hey." They both smiled at us.
"How was dinner with Lucas and Hallie?" Jess asked us.
"Fun." I smiled.
"They actually told us that Hallie is pregnant." Alex told them.
"That's great." Dad smiled.
"They want us to be the Godparents." I smiled. Alex and I smiled at each other.
"Aw that's good!" Jess smiled.
"So we're gonna go watch a movie in my room. Is that okay?" I said to my parents.
"Keep the door open." Dad Said. I smiled and led Alex upstairs.
"Nice seeing you!" Alex smiled at my parents.
"You too Alex." They both smiled back. I led him to my room and we walked inside. Of course we kept the door open, Dad would kill him and then yell at me.

"Wow so this is where the princess rests her head at night." Alex smirked as he looked around my room. Thank God I cleaned it this morning. I laughed and sat on my bed. He went to my desk and looked at my pictures.
The pictures were taped onto a board above my desk. The pictures were all of my family and I. One was of my parents and I. Another was all my grandparents and I. A picture of Jonathan,Stephen, Lacy and I from the night of the winter formal was taped on there. Of course there was one of my Uncle Jimmy and I. It's a really funny picture. We were trying to take a selfie and we both ended up making weird faces. The last picture was of my Aunt Nancy and I.
"I really like these pictures." He smiled at me.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"Except it's missing one thing." He said. I frowned and looked at him.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"A picture of you and I." He smiled. I smiled and nodded.
"Come here boy." I smiled. He smiled and climbed onto the bed next to me. I pulled out my phone and we began taking a bunch selfies. In one of them he was kissing my cheek. In another we were kissing. "Now I just have to get them printed. There's this app I have and I select the pictures I want printed and they'll print it and ship them to me." I explained to him.
"That's sweet." He smiled as I ordered the prints of the pictures.
"I know right. Lacy showed me the app." I smiled. I then finished and laid my phone next to me. "So what do you want to watch?" I asked him.
"I don't know." He shrugged. "I don't really feel like watching anything."He whispered. I smiled and lightly kissed him. He then grabbed the back of my neck, pulled me close to him and pressed his lips onto mine. I wish we could just sit here and make out, but I know we can't. I pulled away and looked at my boyfriend. Our faces were still a couple inches apart.
"We can't do this. My parents are right downstairs." I whispered.
"Fine." He sighed. I smiled at him and lightly kissed his cheek.
"Alright let's watch something." I said.
*Justin's POV*
I sat on the floor, a couple doors down from Ariana's room. I can still here their conversation.
"Justin Randall Timberlake, what are you doing?" I heard Jess whisper. I looked and saw my wife frowning at me.
"Sh!" I whispered. She glared at me,walked to where I was sitting and sat down.
"Are you spying on our daughter?" She whispered to me.
"No." I whispered. "Maybe." Jess frowned at me when I answered my second answer.
"Justin they aren't going to do anything." Jess whispered.
"How do you know that?" I frowned. She didn't say anything. "Exactly." I smirked. "Believe me I trust Ariana, I don't know about Alex yet though. He's a guy, we all think the same." I whispered.
"Justin they all aren't the same." She frowned.
"At this age they are." I told her.
"Well then how about instead of sitting here, you go check on them." She suggested.
"Dad? Jess? What are you doing?" We heard Ariana ask us. We looked and saw our daughter and her boyfriend standing outside her door.
"Nothing." Jess and I answered. Ariana raised her eyebrows and I smiled at her. She sighed and shook her head.
"C'mon Alex let's go get something to drink." She said. The two walked passed us, but then Alex stopped.
"I forgot my phone, I'll meet you down there." He said to Ariana. She nodded and left without him. He then turned back around and looked at us. He walked over to us and sat down. "I understand why you're sitting out here. I'll probably do the same thing one day when I have a teenage daughter to worry about. You can trust me though. I'm not going to do anything, I swear. I want to wait till marriage to have sex. Plus Ariana means a lot to me and I don't want to ruin what we have." He said to us. How much I like this kid, just went up.
"I'm trusting you." I said.
"Thank you." He nodded. Alex then stood up and walked downstairs.
"Our daughter sure knows how to pick them." Jess said.
"She sure does." I said.
I'm glad Alex said all that to us, but I'm still going to keep a close eye on him.

On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
