Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the alterations in this version of Liberty's Kids storyline and the plot twists that arise from it.
A Revolutionary Romance Prologue
The American Revolution was a crucial turning point in history not just with a nation just beginning to really find it's feet, but for the citizens living within on its shores.
Many of them are conflicted during this time of strife, turmoil, and conflict. Trying so hard to find their way.
One of them is a young girl named Sarah Phillips. A promising journalist who has traveled across the ocean to American in order to reunite with a father she's long been separated from. Here she struggles with her personal morals and teachings as she tries to decide what she is in this strange foreign land.
An American Patriot or British Loyalist?
Then there is Benedict Arnold. A great general in the Colonial Army infamous to all for his courage, sacrifice, and dedication to the American cause against British tyranny.
As the war rages on these two souls become entwined. As their paths cross more and more during the Revolution perhaps they are both just what the other needs in order to brave this clash of two nations and come out the better for it.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I've debated this type of idea for Liberty's Kids for quite some time. It was one of my favorite shows growing up. I loved watching it and actually still do. The entire show is on ITunes for any of you who are still interested and are searching for it.
Benedict Arnold has always been one of my favorite characters on the show. I absolutely felt devastated when I learned both in history and on the show that he turned traitor only to later to regret his decision when the war was over. Just like as it says in actual history and what we've seen on the show, at the time, I fully believe that Benedict Arnold would never have turned traitor if only Congress had just given the man the respect he deserved back then. A man with such a noble, honorable, disciplined, and exemplary character shouldn't have fallen so low.
During the show I really liked the dynamic between Sarah and Benedict Arnold. At the beginning of the show in the Boston Tea Party episode Sarah starts out as 15 years old, but as time goes by and the war progresses she does get close to being like in her early 20's. Despite the fact that the show's creators continue to depict her as a young teenager without it. I just think that more could've come of it in the shows dynamic if they had just allowed her to age properly. It's no secret that there was somewhat of an attachment between them.
So here's my take on it.
Also, I recently put up a new story called Fish Out Of Water. It's a crossover between the movie Shape of Water and the show Siren. So far I have everything figured out except one little thing. A name for my OC. Basically, since my OC character is in fact a mermaid I want the name to be in reference to the oceans or any other body of water similar to lakes or rivers. I'm more than open to suggestions so like I usually do in situations like this I'm turning it into a contest. The reader who gives me the winning name gets a question answered about the plot of the changed storyline in question. So think long and hard guys on the name and the type of question you'd like me to answer. Because you only get the one until the next opportunity arises for the taking. ;D
