*~*~*~*~*~*
Okay, before I start writing I just wanna clearify, okay? This Passions FanFiction is the SEQUEL to "Passions: Through the Televison", not another chapter. I'm afraid that I'm going to get people attacking me because I didn't add this on as a chapter to "Passions: Through the Television." Also, if you've never read "Passions: Through the Television" then this fic will make very little sense to you. Oh, one more thing, I hope you like it! :)

Reminder: A day in the Passions world = 5 mintutes on Earth
Also, when Jacob and Christy aren't in the Passions world they pause it, which they learned to do. :)
*~*~*~*~*~*

"There is no way this is happening! Tell me this is not happening!" I yelled in an anxious and worried voice.

"Christy," Jacob tried to comfort me, "We knew we couldn'd hide from this forever. It was bound to happen sooner or later."

"But does it have to be sooner?!" I argued, "It's only been a week of Passions days since Julian and Alistair went down." I twisted my hair with my hand, "This can't be happening now!"

Jacob took both of my hands in his and said, "But it is."

I made a pouty face, "But why?"

Jacob threw me a somewhat comforting smile and said, "You know why. This town can't have a happily ever after ending. There is no end. We have to stick out the bad times and make sure they turn into good. Just think, if everything was normal and nothing happened nobody would watch Passions, then the ratings skydive and all would go to-"

"To Hell?" I finshed for him, "We've already been there, remember?"

"Hey," Jacob used my real name and said, "You know what I mean."

I shrugged and said finally, "Fine. But we are going to make this as easy for him as possible."

"I agree," Jacob replied, "When Ethan finds out he's not a Crane his whole world will come down. We better make sure Theresa is there with him."

"Duh." I said half-jokingly, "But how are we going to convince Ivy to tell Ethan that his real father is Sam? I mean, she thinks that the truth'll never come out."

"Yeah, well," Jacob anwsered, "She should of detroyed all the evidance."

Jacob and I had recently discovered that dispite Pilar's warnings, Ivy had kept one single peice of evidance. It was one peice of paper. On the paper was DNA results of Ethan. When Ethan was born Ivy had a DNA test to make sure that Ethan was Sam's son, even though she knew it in her heart. Me and Jacob just guessed she wanted proof that it was really real.

Either way it exsisted.

I tried over and over to convince Jacob to help me find and destroy this evidance, but it was no use. Jacob insisted that the truth had to come out, no matter how ugly.

In my heart I knew he was right but, we were going to do all we could to make it as easy as possible for Ethan.

It had been about 3 Passions weeks since me and Jacob both had been transported into the Passions world and discovered it all to be real. Jacob and I had a hard time keeping track of days and weeks and such in the Passions world.

Now that Alistair and Julian were both in jail Ethan had taken over the Crane Empire. He had revolutionized the place.

"But wait," I said to Jacob, "Who will take over the Crane Empire when the truth comes out?"

"I'd bet that Ethan would take over. Then again, who knows." Jacob said, "That's not our problem."

I threw him a knowing look and said, "Have have 3 reasons why you're wrong, wanna hear'em?"

"Shoot." Jacob said, knowing his doom.

"Number one it is our problem because we made it our problem when we decided to interfear with the Passions world. Number two because in the Passions world you are a Crane and as a Crane you are the next heir to the Crane Empire and if Ethan doesn't take over you might." I answered him quickly.

"And number three?" Jacob asked, sounding defeated.

"Well there is no number three I just said it because three sounds better than two." I answered honestly.

"Well then," Jacob answered, "Fine, you've convinced me. But what do we do about this problem?"

"We'll burn that brige when we get there." I smiled at him.

"Well okay." Jacob said.

"Okay." I answered back, almost laughing. After a moment I said, "You wanna go and get something at the Book Cafe?"

"Sure, let's go." Jacob answered, "You got your laptop?"

"Yep." I answered, "We'll see what the previews have to say when we get there, k?"

"K." Jacob said.

When we arived at the Book Cafe we saw Chad and Whitney by the counter, and Beth serving drinks.

Other than that nothing was out of the ordinary.

Jacob and I went to our back table and took a seat.

"Okay, break out the laptop." Jacob said as soon as we sat down.

I looked at him and asked, "Why so anxious?"

Jacob ajusted in his seat and answered, "I don't know, I just feel like something's off today. It's a really strange feeling."

"Oh, okay." I answered, "Let's take a look." I opened my laptop.

I logged on to the laptop and the previews read as follows:

"Kay takes a walk by the docks as she thinks about Miguel, Charity, and herself. Ivy debates over destroying a important peice of evidance. Jacob and Christy spend a day together planning there next plot. Pilar receives an importian phone call. Ethan and Theresa plan for their up-coming double wedding with Luis and Sheridan."

"Huh." Jacob said, "So what are we going to do?"

"Well," I started, "I don't really see anything we can do. Let's just go over to the Crane Mansion and see what Pilar's call is all about."

"Yeah," Jacob said, sound alittle distracted.

I put my hand on his arm after I closed my laptop and said, "What is it?"

"I don't know..." Jacob answered, "Let's just get over there." He stood up and I after him.

"Okay." I replied understandingly, because I knew Jacob was right, something was off.

We made our way over to the Crane Mansion and you know what the good thing is about having a boyfriend who's a Crane?

You don't need an excuse to walk into the Crane Mansion.

Always good.

And it's also a very good thing that we had love.

We opened the door and let ourselves in. Theresa and Ethan we no where to be seen, with Sheridan and Luis at the cottage no doubt. Pilar was in the living room dusting.

"Hello you two." Pilar said, barely looking up, "Theresa and Ethan are at the cottage and Ivy is upstairs." Pilar informed us.

"Okay Pilar." I answered.

Just then the phone rang. What a surprise.

Pilar answered the phone.

"Come on." Jacob said as he grabbed my hand and we hurried into the libary.

Jacob shut the door behide him and coaxed me over to the phone.

"I'll put it on speaker." He said. He made sure it was on line 1 and we listened in...

"PILAR: -BEEN SO LONG.

VOICE: I KNOW, I'M SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO CALL.

PILAR: THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT. WHY DID YOU CALL?

VOICE: THERESA LEFT ME A MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE OVER A MONTH AGO, I JUST FOUND IT YESTERDAY. AS YOU CAN TELL I'VE BEEN MORE THAN ALITTLE BEHIDE.

PILAR: OKAY, WELL, I KNOW WHY THERESA CALLED YOU. SHE WANTED TO VISIT YOU. YOU KNOW YOU TWO WERE TO CLOSE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER. BEFORE YOU-

VOICE: YES I KNOW. TELL THERESA THAT I'LL BE WAITING FOR HER, OKAY?

PLIAR: OKAY, SHE CAN TAKE A FLIGHT DOWN THERE RIGHT AWAY, NOW THAT SHE'S ENGAGED TO ETHAN.

VOICE: YEAH, MAKE SURE SHE PACKS HER SUMMER CLOTHES, IT'S HOT DOWN HERE.

PILAR: OKAY, TAKE CARE NOW.

VOICE: YOU TOO.

BEEEEEEP"

"Darn it." I said discourged, "We still don't know who it was on the other line."

"It was dinfately a man." Jacob said, "But who?"

"And you notice how whoever it was quickly changed the subjext when Pilar started to talk about what happened when they were younger?" Jacob said.

"Yes I did." I replied. "Something is definatly up here."

"Yeah." Jacob said, still thinking.

"Well whatever it is, it means Theresa is going some where. What are we going to do?" I said.

"I don't know," Jacob said honestly, "But Theresa needs to be there when Ethan finds out he's not a Crane."

"Duh!" I said, "We could wait until she gets back."

"Eh," Jacob said, "I don't know Christy. Something is wrong here, I can feel it. Something tells me that Ethan needs to know as soon as possible."

I put my arm on Jacob's shoulder and said, "Okay, you could be right. So what should we do?"

"Well," Jacob started, thinking, "I dom't know! Aren't you the one with the plans?"

Jokeingly I said, "Oh yeah I forgot." After a moments thought I said, "How about we go out there and tell Pilar we are going by the cottage. Then maybe she'll give us a message too give to Theresa."

Jacob shrugged and said, "Worth a shot."

With a kiss for good luck we went out into the living room.

"Pilar, we are going to head over to the cottage." I said as I passed by.

"Oh really?" Pilar said, face brightening, "Can you tell her something for me."

I threw Jacob an 'I knew it' glance and said to Pilar, "Sure, no problem."

"Tell her that our cousin Josh called." Pilar answered, "And that he would like her to come and visit. She'll know the rest."

I shrugged and said, "Okay."

With that we left the Mansion.

"I knew that would work!" I yelled, poking Jacob playfully.

"Alright alright!" Jacob said laughing. "Let's go."

When we got to the cottage Theresa, Ethan, Sheridan and Luis were all sitting around the table in the living room.

We knocked on the door, "Here goes nothing." Jacob said smartly.

"Hi you guys!" Luis said as he opened the door, "Come in come in."

"Thank you so much Luis." I said genially.

It was amazing how kind Luis had been to me and Jacob, ever since we discovered the truth behide his father's disapearance.

"Theresa," I said, as soon as we sat down, "Pilar wanted me to tell you that your cousin Josh had called."

"Oh my gosh!" Theresa exclaimed, clearly excited, "Josh called!"

"Yeah." I said calmly, "Pilar said that he wants you to go down and visit him soon."

"Oh that's great!" Theresa said.

After Ethan threw Theresa a confused look she began to explain about her cousin, Josh, "You see, he used to live here in Harmony until his mom and dad-my aunt and uncle-were killed in a car crash. He was 10 when it happened. He survived the crash so he moved down to live with his grandpa in Flordia. After his Grandpa died he got a small apartment and has been living on his own. He doesn't get alot of visitors."

"Theresa, I can't believe you never told me about him." Ethan said, "How old is he now?"

"Well, he's about Miguel's age, I believe." Theresa answered. "We used to be best friends. I have to go and visit him."

"Well, I suppose so Theresa." Ethan said although you could tell by his face that he was uncomfortable.

"Ethan, I know you're still trying to get over your father and grand-father being put in prison." Theresa struggled to comfort him, "But you're nothing like them."

Ethan took her hands and his and said, "I know Theresa, and you don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine." Ethan said.

I turned my head casually and whispered to Jacob, "He is lying."

Jacob whispered back, "Something is so up."

I nodded.

Little did we know, something was more than up, someone was going down.
