Notes: I got the idea for this story after constantly listening to the new Ace of Base's CD, Cruel Summer. I started noticing how their songs, in a certain order told a story. They just screamed Jim and Blair. I'd like to thank my wonderful internet friend, Isabel Tan for beta'ing this story. As well as a deep love for Ace of Base, she also has been cheering me up through some troubling times. This series is strictly for her. I hope this makes up for the cruddy life you've had lately.

Travel to Romantis as sung by Ace of Base

Funny how everything changes for me

Memories takes me away

each time I open the door to my room

where I must stay in all day

I don't want to be here, I'm much too tired

so I close my eyes and snap I'm with you

we are on vacation you and me together

laying in the sunshine

I travel to Romantis

where nothing 'bout the blue skies

will tell me that the time flies

I travel to Romantis

every time I think of you

you're giving me my life back

I travel to Romantis

one day I will give you myself in a ring

bounded by law and by heart

it's you and me against the world

that is the way it should be

I don't want to be here, I'm much too tired

so I close my eyes and snap I'm with you

we are on vacation you and me together

laying in the sunshine

I travel to Romantis

where nothing 'bout the blue skies

will tell me that the time flies

I travel to Romantis

every time I think of you

you're giving me my life back

I travel to Romantis

give me my life back

you are the best that has happened to me

you're giving me my life back

I travel to Romantis

you are the best that has happened to me

please god let it be

I travel to Romantis

where nothing 'bout the blue skies

will tell me that the time flies

I travel to Romantis

every time I think of you

you're giving me my life back

I travel to Romantis

where nothing 'bout the blue skies

will tell me that the time flies

I travel to Romantis

every time I think of you

you're giving me my life back

I travel to Romantis

Oh, God. It hurts. I don't know how much more I can take. I love Jim so much. He's had my heart and soul since we met. Mom always did tell me that when I fell, I would fall hard. I never should have moved in. All it does is make me hurt even more. Why can't I give it up. This dream of mine I've had from the beginning. That we're sitting on a beach, in love, watching the blue skies togather, knowing that as long as we're togather, we have everything.

But that's just a dream. That's not reality. Reality hurts.

Funny how things changed when we met. Suddenly, I become important to someone. I always knew that mom loved me, but she never gave me the stability I craved. You do, Jim. Since I weasled my way into your life, with my stubborness, and the help I could provide you with your senses, you've given me everything I ever wanted, except your heart.

And the damn thing is, is that I know you love me too. I just can't get you to admit it. Me, the exasberating, anoying litle Guide who can get you to open to almost anything, can't get you to open up to the one thing that would make us both happy.

I know you're afraid. Who wouldn't, in this trying world we live in, where prejudaces rule. But you have to overlook that, Man. If you don't, then you let the world win the war, not just the battle. I'll face it too. We'll face it togather. I can't keep giving you everything I have and everything I am, unless I get something in return. I'm not trying to blackmail you here, but I need something only you can give me. Your love. Everything else would be just be icing on the cake. That's the only thing that I really, truly need to survive.

Everyday we're togather, I find myself sinking deeper and deeper into this whirlpool of love. The riptide caught me and won't let go.

I need you, Jim. I NEED YOU!!!!

I hesitate before my room, feeling like I enter my cell. Memories flood my mind of us. Everything we've done, everything we've seen and been togather. On my bed, I lie here, and snap, I'm within the world of dreams where you are mine, and I'm yours. We are on vacation and we give each other ourselves.

In my dreams, we're one. In reality, we are one person, split into two different people.

God, I'm so tired. Sometime's, on days like these, I just don't want to live. If you can't love me, give me my life back. Otherwise, you'll lose me. One can only take so much before giving up. I can only take your distrust of emotions, of my love, so much before I break.

The only true happiness I have is living in my dreams, where I know that one of these days I'll give you myself in a ring. Binding myself with both law and my heart. It'll be just you and me against the world. The way everything should be. The way we have to be to have anything good within our lives.

But that's just wishful thinking. The only thing you want of me is help to master your senses, so you won't need anyone. I can't keep traveling to Romantis in my dreams. I can't let that be my only happiness. If you can't give me what I need, then I'll find someone who can. It may take me the rest of my life, but at least I'll know I have a chance. I feel like I don't have even a slight chance with you.

I'm near my breaking point. I don't have much left to give. All I have to give you is my heart. And you don't want that.

An uptempo song by Jonas with a stomping beat and a great hook line in a barrage of synths, this time somewhat akin to vintage analogue and wave table synth sounds found on the original high-BPM "Happy Nation" album version. Produced by Jonas with Jam & Delgado.

if you think of "Romantin" as you do "Atlantis" the title of the song becomes a lot of fun. The content and sentiment of the song is very private and is written to my girlfriend
