(Matthews sat in a field of white roses. Their fragrance drifted up and filled his nose with their sweet aroma. Matthews smiled and opened his eyes. He could see far on this plain of roses, but then he saw something that didn't belong here. He saw a woman. A woman with dirty blonde hair and shining blue eyes. Matthews thought for a second and then realized it was Christina Collins. Wow, why was it so hard to remember her name? Pondering, he realized he had only been here for a few minutes, but it already seemed like years. Matthews stood up and called out to Christina, smiling.)
Matthews: Hey Miss Collins. Over here.

(When Christina arrived in the field of whit roses, she immediately began to look around. Searching for at least one of two people she had expect and was desparately hoping to see. It was then that she heard someone calling her name that she turned around and saw one of them. Matthews stood not too far from her. Christina smiled as she hurried over to where he stood. Immediately and without really thinking, she threw her arms around him and held him close in an embrace. It was then that she felt the guilty that it was because of her that Matthews was also here. A few tears formed in her eyes.)
Christina: Matthews, I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have come after me. I already thought you were dead. You should have stayed away.

(Matthews was surprised as Christina ran into him and threw her arms around him. His first impulse was to reach down and kiss her, but he could see the endless blue sky starting to grow dark. In his bones, he knew she wasn't supposed to be here, and he sighed. He knew he was dead, that was the hard thing. But he couldn't let her share his fate. Matthews reached down and picked her head up. He made her face him and he kissed her lips passionately.)
Matthews: Hey, it's okay. I wanted to see you again so badly. It was worth it.
(Matthews stared hard into her blue eyes and kissed her again.)
Matthews: I didn't get a chance to tell you this before, but I guess later is better than never.
(A soft breeze blew through the roses, sending up a sweet fragrance. All around him, he could sense heaven, but he only cared about Christina.)
Matthews: I....uh....I love you. I do. It took me far too long to realize that, but I do love you. I'm just sorry that I had to tell you in this fashion.

(Christina couldn't stop herself from smiling. She finally felt the peace that she was looking for. Here she didn't have to worry about her powers or fighting. It was just her and Matthews; nothing else mattered. She looks at Matthews still smiling.)
Christina: It's okay... I don't mind.
(Christina rises on her toes and kisses Matthews back in the same fashion.)
Christina: I love you too, Matthews. And you're the first person I've ever said that to in a long time.

(Matthews smiled at the statement. It was all he could do. And then his heart filled with dread. He knew that as great as this place was, she didn't belong here. Matthews placed his hands on her hips and gently pushed her away.)
Matthews: You know, it kills me to say this, but you have to go back.
(Gently, Matthews turned Christina around to face the world of roses and stare at the darkening sky. He whispered into her ear, touching his lips to it.)
Matthews: It's not your time yet Christina. You still have so much more to live for, so much more to do. I can't tell you how I know this, but I do. I even know how you're going back. So, please, please, let me go Christina. Let me go.

(Christina felt the tug at her heart by the words Matthews said. She turns herself around and throws her arms around him once again, holding herself close to him. She buries her head against his chest.)
Christina: No, please. I don't want to go back. I found my peace here, with you. Please don't make me go back. I already suffered your death once, but then I saw you alive again only to die right in front me. Please, don't make me go through that a third time. Please.... please, let me stay.

Matthews: It's not my call Christina. I wish it were, but it's not.
(The sky started to clear and Matthews smiled. Looks like the mutt pulled it off. Matthews leaned down and kissed Christina once more before gently pushing her away from him.)
(The roses danced as the wind whirled around Christina and she faded from Matthews' vision. Matthews smiled at her.)
Matthews: Goodbye Christina Collins, it has been great.
