The days went by and Cyrus and Mindy watched as Eon, their baby became normal and grew. Meanwhile, their son Rephael did exactly what he said he would do; watch over everything but especially them, his parents and himself.

Now while he was watching and Rephael watched from what might be called ‘in between’, or the nexus of universes which was a junction between everything, all the universes, he saw something he had never seen. That meant that time or the timeline was somehow changed. Just like his father Cyrus Weeks had always been listed as dead on January 16th, 1856 but had never really died because Mindy saved him by waking him up before he froze to death. Now Rephael saw the appearance of a beautiful woman living in the desert he had never seen before.

Maybe he had not noticed her before because he was always so busy keeping himself alive and watching out for the thing but he did not think so. This woman took his breath – he gasped when he saw her.

She was about 5’7 and in many ways looked just like his mother but a few inches taller. Her platinum blond hair was not as long, just a little past her shoulders, and wavy. She had the same full lips, blue eyes, and straight nose. Her face was just a little bit rounder and what was impressive about her was she walked completely naked on the path, except for sandals. Rephael thought he would have noticed her before this. With her medium perky breasts and her curvaceous hips and gorgeous bottom, he was awed. How could no one notice her?

He decided to walk up to her, into her time which was 2015, February 26th. He stepped out and said, “Hello.”

“What? Who are you? Where did you come from?” She gasped and she stammered. She was so shocked she did not try to cover herself, she just froze.

“My name is Rephael and I was out walking and saw you so I thought I would say hello and introduce myself.”

“There is never anyone around here and so I did not expect anyone to pop up. Where did you come from?” She asked.

“Again, my name is Rephael, I am from around here, saw you and thought I would say hello. Is that alright with you?”

“I suppose it is, I am Elizabeth, but umm…I am naked so, I should probably get back to the house and put on some clothes.”

“There is a house around here?”

“It is more like a bunker I suppose. It can’t be seen. It’s all underground, even the garage, but yes my father has a house.” Elizabeth answered.

“It is a nice, warm day for February. What are you doing out here naked, if I could ask?”

“I was calling my dog back, Sparky. I just didn’t get dressed first. Since there is never anyone around, anywhere.” Elizabeth replied.

“Well, it is okay with me Elizabeth if you want to walk around naked and call your dog. Don’t let me interrupt you. I’ll just admire you if that is okay with you.”

“Admire me?”

“You are very beautiful, if I may compliment you.” Rephael said.

“Thank you. No one has ever said that to me before.”

“I am surprised because you really are a very beautiful woman.”

“You really do think so?”

“Yes, I really do think you are very beautiful. Could I come over to your house sometime and talk, get to know you?”

“I suppose you could right now. You are not going to attack me are you?”

“I wasn’t planning on attacking you. I wanted to get to know you.”

“I am 26, out here taking care of my father while he studies this thing. He calls it an anomaly. Right now, he is drunk and sound asleep.”

“Oh well, that is interesting, I am looking for something myself, what is this thing?” Rephael asked as she started to walk to her house and he followed at Elizabeth’s side.

“It is some kind of holy tornado, he thinks.”

“A tornado? You have a very lovely walk Elizabeth.”

“Yes, it is usually over there.” Elizabeth answered and then pointed to the other side of the valley. “Well this is the house, would you like to come in?”

“Where, I don’t see anything?” Rephael said.

“Right down this walk here. Can you see the path and then, down there?”

Elizabeth pointed down below, there was a driveway that led into the side of the hill they stood on and the hill faced where she pointed to the tornado.

“And is that the driveway?”

“Yes it is, come on down with me. Oh look, there is Sparky, Sparky!”

“Yes, I see him too.” Rephael observed as he followed her naked swaying butt. “Elizabeth, would you like to go on a date with me?”

“You are handsome, tall, how old are you, Rephael?”

“31 years old.” Rephael lied. He was actually of no real age, just like Eon was of no real age. His parents would find that out soon. I would be shocking as always.

“That is a nice age for a man.”

“You must go out on dates a lot, don’t you Elizabeth?”

“Out here? With who?”

“Yes, I suppose that’s true there really aren’t that many people out here, just you and I, alone in this vastness.”

“And my father,” Elizabeth said. “Well, here is my house, where is yours again?”

“Oh, should I come clean with you Elizabeth?”

“Come clean with me? Are you an escaped criminal or something?”

“No, nothing like that, will you like me if you find out who and what I am?”

“You’re Rephael right? And you are a man?”

“Yes, and yes but, I have a secret. I am a little different. Actually I am a lot different than most men. I don’t really have an age.” Rephael was almost stammering.

“How could you not have an age?” Elizabeth was aghast.

“Oh this is so hard to explain, like you do not have any clothes, I suppose, I don’t really have an age.”

“How could that be?”

“If you promise not to be frightened, I’ll show you.” Rephael said.

“Okay”, Elizabeth said, “I promise not to be frightened.”

“You’re certain?”

“Yes, I have seen some strange things out here with my father so, you are not a monster or anything like that are you?”

“No, just watch please.” They were down on the flat at the bottom of the hill. As safe a place as any to do this Rephael thought. Then he lit up and disappeared back where he came from.

“Wow!” She exclaimed. “Where are you? Where did you go?”

Rephael popped back in front of Elizabeth and she jumped back. “Wow!”

“Elizabeth, you’re not afraid of me are you?”

“I don’t know. Where did you go?”

“That is really hard to explain. It could take a series of dates, long dates, lot’s of talking. Do you like to talk?” Rephael asked.

Sparky came over and barked at Rephael. Sparky jumped around like dogs do and kept barking.

“What do you think Sparky? Is Rephael too strange to date?”

Rephael kneeled down and held out his hand so Sparky could sniff him. Then Sparky let Rephael pet his head. “You see Elizabeth, Sparky likes me. Do you?”

“I don’t really know if I like you or not, you are handsome enough. There aren’t a lot of choices out here since the price of gas went so high. I suppose you’ll have to do, for now.”

Rephael jumped in the air and stuck his fists straight up, “Yeah!” He yelled. “Sorry Elizabeth. I should not have lost control that…”

“That’s alright. I don’t think I have ever had a man pop in and out in front of me, or jump up and yell ‘Yeah’ before so today is a first. Though, I have never met any men naked before either. Maybe it’s a help?”

“You are a very pretty, beautiful, lovely naked woman so, I would say it’s a help, yes.”

“Even so, I don’t think I’ll start off this way in the future, meeting men this way for the first time, I mean.”

“Do you think you need to meet any one else?”

“You’ll do for now Rephael. Who knows? You did handle a very awkward moment really well.”

“Can I kiss you Elizabeth?”

“I suppose it would be okay if you kissed me. Where do you want to kiss me?”

“On the lips?”

“Well okay then”, Elizabeth moved up to Rephael and closed her eyes, puckered her lips.

Rephael kissed her fully and while he kissed her he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. She held him back and her breasts pressed against his chest. She melted into him. It was a really long kiss. Rephael was a man alright and Elizabeth felt it too.

“Sorry about that. I can’t help it.” Rephael said as Elizabeth pulled back a bit.

“I suppose you can’t can you? At least I know you are a real man whatever you are.”

“Lizzy where are you?”

“That’s my Dad, disappear, disappear now.”

Pop! Rephael was gone.

“What are you doing outside naked?” Elizabeth’s Dad asked her.

“Sparky ran off and I wanted to catch him, so I just slipped on my sandals and ran out after him. There’s no one else out here.”

“Did I say there was?”

“What do you want?”

“Will you make breakfast?”

“Go take a shower, you look hung over. Your breakfast will be ready when you are clean.”

“Put some clothes on. Just because you have heard all the hippie stories of your mother and me,” Dad yelled.

“Shower Now,” Elizabeth ordered! She pointed to the bathroom.

“I could have sworn I some a man in a white robe. I am definitely drinking too much.” Dad said as he turned toward the bathroom.

“No you are not.” Elizabeth whispered to herself. “Rephael, if you can hear me, you did not hear this, I think I love you.”
