[Lissie's Pov]

my name is Lissie Birdwhistle, I'm sixteen years old

I was left at The Valiant Heart Orphanage when I was seven years old by my first foster parents who I thought for a time were my real parents

and well to say that I didn't see it coming when they took me to the orphanage would be fooling myself, because I did see it coming...because I could tell that they were growing tired of me,

they said it cost to much money to keep me around and so they brought me to the valiant heart orphanage to get rid of me
and it was there that I found out that I wasn't really their daughter and they had took me in when I was a baby when they first came to the orphanage looking to adopt

sadly to say they really wanted a son and not me but there were no baby boys at the time so I was the best they could get.

I really did love them, they treated me well enough through all those years but I have to admit to myself that they really never loved me back

and would fake it and fool myself, by saying how much they cared about me but I knew that such a thing was a silly thing to wish for

I guess in a way I was only hurting myself by going along with the charade

and it wasn't until that one moment where I over heard them talking about taking me back to the orphanage, that I knew that they weren't my real family.

I had a friend who was adopted by a doctor, I had heard some stories on what my friend had been through to know what she went through was just as bad

as what I went through if not more worse

and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her

but I can't help but be happy for her when she got a mother to love and take care of her, it is something that I wish I could have myself but I will get use to the life I have now because I know...

I know that no one is coming for me, if my parents really cared they wouldn't of left me at the valiant heart orphanage in the first place and causing me to be with a family that never really loved me and had been faking this whole time.

even if the friend went through a different type of abusive treatment by her last foster mother who use to beat her before she was caught and taken away and having my friend be place back in the orphanage, even if my old foster family never beat me, they did lie to me by saying they loved me when really they didn't

and that is in my belief is abusive

but more in the form of emotional kind than physical, my friend went through both

and I'm not sure if I fully understand what she went through but I think I half understand.

I'm just happy she got a new mother who could help her heal from the damage she went through, at times I wonder what the outcome would be like if Doctor Hawthorn had never came to the orphanage?
would things play out much different?

would my friend Bernice have become much worse? even if she acted normal around me and we had fun playing together, at times I could feel that she was still in some pretty bad emotional pain

even if she acted like there was nothing wrong at times and she acted tough, I could tell that she was fighting her emotions

and not just those who make her really upset.

at times I could tell she seem troubled when the other kids tried to find out more about how she got the scar,

I told them to leave her alone or else I would tell on them

I knew that it made her feel upset when anyone would bring up the scar and I was the only kid she told how it happen

I was in truth very horrified when I found out how she got it, she was eight years old when she told me and I was seven years old

and it was a week later when she was brought back to the orphanage with that scar but it was the first day we met as well and I'm glad we did meet
because we both needed a friend on that sad day

because we both needed someone who understood what the other was feeling

just then there was a knock at my door and I get up off my bed and headed to the door and open it to see who it was
and to my slight surprise it was Mrs Gray.

"oh hey Mrs Gray, what's up?"I ask her as she hands me a piece of paper

"what's this?"

"it is a list of groceries that I need you to go and get with Tyler and Jim, they have already went on ahead of you so please do hurry and catch up with them."
she tells me as she starts to back away from my door and I head out of the bedroom that is my and another girl's room, yes I share with another girl and we both respect each others space

well not at first, the girl did not seem to respect my space at first until I told her that if she keeps sticking her nose in my business and keep looking through my personal belongings without my permission

I will tell Mrs Gray on her and have her moved to another room or transferred to Mr Caprice's Orphanage, even if I wouldn't really do that to her

I needed to scare her away from doing that again and besides that

no one should go to Mr Caprice's Orphanage, for a lot of reasons...

that place is really bad, I mean even if Mrs Gray yells at us at times when we fight each other or if we do something we aren't suppose to
it's because she cares about us and worries about us

but she would never ever cross the line that Mr Caprice does time and time again,
even if what he has done can not be proven with no evidence and most people think he is a pretty okay and nice guy (when really he isn't.)

but maybe someday he will be put away and those kids there can be moved over here where they will be safe and will get loving families that they well deserved.

"yeah sure I can go with them to get the groceries, how many bags we talking?"

"oh about as much as you three can carry, just make sure to be back before dark okay?"

"yeah sure no problem, and don't worry will be back before dark."I said as I start to walk down the hall that was on the eleventh floor

yes this place is that big, well it is more like rebuild

with so many orphans coming in, the place had to be remolded over the last few years, it has got better

and besides the stairs that can be used, there is the elevators as well

it was a few minutes after I got off one of the elevators that I saw Jim and Tyler

and as I went to the entranceway where they were waiting for me

I couldn't help but feel like something was going to happen that will change my life forever but I decided to ignore that feeling

and just go with the two to the grocery store

as I'm walking to the car with the two I couldn't help but think to myself,

I wonder if they are still mad at me?

I mean what I saw before, well I didn't mean to walk in on them talking about well what they were discussing but they were in the girl's bathroom by mistake

and after they found out, Jim hit Tyler in the back of the head and then they told me to move out of the way so they can leave

and so I did, man I guess I couldn't really be to mad at them for being in the wrong bathroom

and well the sign hadn't been fix yet on that door and the boy's and girl's bathrooms on that floor was so far apart it is a easy mistake to make if you don't know that the boy's bathroom is at the right far side to the next hall and to the left.

"you haven't told anyone or Mrs Gray what you heard right?"Jim asked while sitting up front with Tyler who was driving

"no I didn't tell her what you two were talking about and I promise I wont say anything, all I did say was that you two were going to the bathroom and you ended up in the girl's bathroom by mistake and that it was only a few moments after I entered!
I promise I didn't tell her what's going on and I promise I wont tell anyone else."I said

"good, you better keep that promise..."Jim said to me as he glares at me through the rearview mirror.

and I couldn't help but feel myself gulp in fear

but then I watch as Tyler places a hand on Jim's shoulder and it seem to calm him down a little, thank goodness

that brought a feeling of relief to me, even if Jim was scary at times when he would give off that whole 'I'm going to kill you' vibe.

it would seem that Tyler was a great person to be around Jim, I guess them being friends for so long has made them close enough to have one of them calm the other down when they become well too mad and unreasonable to try to talk with.

Tyler is eighteen years old

and Jim is nineteen years old, and well even if they do still stay at the orphanage, they decided that they would work there

and help out even as they became too old to become adopted.

it was two hours later after we got all the groceries that we started to head back, well at least I thought we were heading back

but we started to go through another part of town and we stop at a place with well questionable atmosphere and this street looks like not a lot of people walk on it, I think we might be on the bad part of town.

"say Tyler, why did you stop here?"I ask and trying not to raise my voice because well, I don't want to get Jim furious at me and think I'm yelling at Tyler.

"me and Jim have to go in a building to get something, we will be back so don't worry. just stay in the car and keep the doors locked."Tyler tells me as he places a hand on my head and ruffles my hair and as he did that, I saw a smile on Jim's face

it was one of his kind smiles, he must of found it cute that Tyler is still treating me like a little sister after all these years.

as they started to walk to the left to a building that sells videos, and I looked away and looked forward

and when I did I saw in the rearview mirror, that they were looking this way and then they look left and right of them and they both look at each other and with a nod of their heads they started to move away from the video shop

and then I watch them as they went to another part of the street and into...oh my gosh, they didn't just...go into a...
I could feel my face go red from finding out what they were really going into, seriously what are they thinking?!

okay calm down Lissie, sure you found out that little secret of theirs but maybe they are just going in there to like meet up with someone and then come right back out in a few minutes,

I decided to sit and wait and watch the doors to the building,
a few minutes of waiting turned into seconds and then to a hour and then three hours and then it started to become almost sunset.

"honestly those two, they said they would be right back but instead they leave me waiting in the car for hours and I should be lucky I'm not a little kid or baby because being left alone in a car that long would of killed me!

and it helps that I turn on the air conditioner to this car...I forget what it really is called, I know it isn't really called the air conditioner right?"I said

and well besides that it did help that I got out of the car a few times to make sure I didn't get too hot just in case the air conditioner or whatever it is called in the car broke by over using it, it is a pretty old car.

I look back at the building and I couldn't help but feel really mad at the two for keeping me waiting for this long, I only waited because I thought they would be back soon and were just meeting a friend

but it would seem that I was wrong and I have a pretty good idea what those two are doing in there,

that place they went into was called Lover's Secret Affair Hotel,

I still can't believe they would go in that place at a time like this, we were suppose to be back at the valiant heart orphanage hours ago
I guess I will have to do the only right thing that comes to my mind and just take the car and go back by myself because the food might go bad if we keep it in the back car trunk all night to the next morning.

I mean I know those two love each other and all but they need to take some responsibility
as I was starting the car, I notice a small piece of paper sticking out of the glove compartment and I decided to open it

and what came out made my eyes go wide in shock

because it wasn't just one piece of paper, it was several and they weren't just papers

they were hotel coupons as well as some other things that might belong to the hotel they were staying in, all of the coupons were from that hotel they went in

and looking at the days and months on the small pieces of other papers that weren't coupons, I could tell they went here more than once
I decided to throw all the papers in the dumpster that was not too far away from the car

and then after having done that I went back to the car, got in and then I took off.
I still can't believe those two, I have half a mind to tell on them and have them be yelled at by Mrs Gray for going into such a place instead of coming back home on time and coming back so late.

yeah that would show them but it would mean giving away the secret that those two are lovers...I promise I wouldn't tell anyone they went from being friends to being lovers.
as I stop at a red light, I couldn't help but wonder to myself how Bernice was doing?

I really do miss her and I wonder if she even remembers me at all, it has been so long since we last talked or seen each other...and not a day goes by that I don't stop worrying about her and wonder if she's doing okay.
as the light turned green I started to take a left down to the next street and as I was driving

I came to a stop when I saw in the corner of my eye, a tunnel and it looked a little familiar like I seen it before,

then I started to think maybe it would be a shortcut back to the orphanage, so I decided to turn the wheel and drive through the tunnel

but as I did so I was surprised to find a red ripped curtains

and the next thing I know it opens up and I find to my shock, a gloomy looking cartoon street and I should be asking myself how this was even possible
but I didn't but instead I keep on driving

and I look to my right and saw a sign that says "welcome to toontown or what's left of it."

okay I don't know if this is real but what did that sign mean by that?
just then I stop the car and look back at the tunnel and I saw the other end of it and it had bright colors coming from it

"welcome Miss Birdwhistle, welcome to your world's toontown."a voice said out of nowhere and kind of freaking me out a little.

"what do you mean my world's toontown?"

"it is as I said, this is your world's toontown it is a empty version of the toontown that is in another world but still connected to this one as well."
okay I think I get it a little, but why tell me all this anyway?
this can't be real and has to be some kind of crazy dream, I must still be asleep in my bed back in my room
to check if it was a dream I decided to pinch myself, OUCH! okay it isn't a dream and what is happening right now is 100% real.

"I must tell you of a prophecy, you with the help of a old friend of yours with others will bring new life to this toontown and give it a new name..."

"who are you? and what do you mean by bring new life to this town? and give it a new name?"

"you will understand in time and as for my name, my name is Enchantress...

now you must hurry and go back from whence you came, the opening to this place only lasts until night comes, and the sun is almost done setting and if you do not leave now you will be trapped here until it opens again by the next sunrise on saturday."

wait if that is true then that would mean I will be stuck here for like five days?!

oh man this really sucks!

wait she said I still have time right?

I started to go back into the car after I got out and decided to look around a little bit, but maybe coming in this place was a bad idea because if that lady's voice is right
then I really have to try to move it or else I will be trapped here for five days just as I was about to open the door

I saw something in a mirror that wasn't part of the cartoon town I was in now but it was like a real life mirror

and well who I saw in it was someone I could recognize even if they are older now.

"Bernice?!"I yell out as I ran over to the mirror and as I got closer I saw how her eyes looked, they look as if there was little life in them
I can see in her eyes that she is struggling with some form of emotion.

"you must leave now before you are stuck here until next saturday, you really want to go through many days here?"

the voice tells me but could I really leave right now, after seeing my old friend like this?

I didn't know where the voice was coming from so I instead looked up at the sky.

"I'm not leaving yet! so what if I get stuck here! I want to know what's with this mirror and why does it have my friend in it?! please tell me! why does she look like she is hurting emotionally! and looks like she is struggling with her pain!"I said to the voice

I wanted to know why she was like that and why she was in a mirror

even if the mirror should be showing my own reflection, it's not and instead it is showing my friend in a state of torment.

"these are the feelings she has suppressed, even if she is happy now with her new mother that loves her...there are times when she thinks about the life she had before she had both you and her mother to help her get through it...
she is still hurting inside and instead of facing them fully and talking about them more with her mother...she has chosen to close herself off from it and think that it is best to just ignore the problem and not face it or talk about it anymore with others
and it is causing her to struggle with feelings she doesn't understand...but perhaps you will be able to help her..."
can I really help her?

but what if I mess up and I can't really help her, I don't want to lose her friendship if I make things worse for her by trying to help when I'm not needed.

"but tell me this, why is your hair in that color?"
okay why did that voice who calls herself Enchantress, have to bring up my hair like that when we were talking about Bernice.

"because I hate my real hair color! that's why I dyed it dark blue!"

I mean I know it isn't a real hair color but it's better than having everyone look at my real hair color, which made me feel out of place and feeling like I didn't belong

my real hair color is so embarrassing and I had enough with it and started to color it blue, I mean having golden hair just doesn't seem to fit me at all
same goes with my silver eyes too that I hide by wearing olive green color contact lenses, I mean I use to like my hair color and my eye color never really bothered me at first
and I don't like to wear anything too fancy

and the clothes I'm wearing are a simple lavender socks and light purple tights and red shoes
with a black t-shirt and green shorts and I'm wearing a light green jacket

my skin is tan because I always go out to the lake to work on my tan because I was always teased because how white my skin was

and I hated being made to play snow white each time we had to do a play for the orphanage
lucky for me I no longer had to play that stupid role anymore, I mean sure my hair wasn't black when I played that role for the play three years ago

but they had me wear a wig that was black,

the reason why I had finally got the nerve to speak out about how much I hated playing snow white was because what one of the girls who really wanted to play snow white said I was bribing the one in charge of putting the play together and making sure everyone knows the lines, I had to yell out and scream that I hated playing snow white and I hated being made to play her because of how we both have the same skin complexion.

after hearing why I was made to play snow white even if I didn't want to, Mrs Gray made them stop asking me to play a role I didn't enjoy playing and that I should have my own choice on who I wanted to be in a play

but the play they wanted to do next made me start to hate my hair color,
if it isn't being made to play snow white, it is being all most made to play as that girl from the rumpelstiltskin story

I never really cared about that story because of how the girl was put into such a situation and it made me feel sorry for her
and it didn't seem fair for her to being made to marry someone like that or promising her first born to such a creature
I mean what parent would do such a thing?
I shake my head as I try to focus on the here and now

"I'm not sure if I should believe all this or not, or if what you say is true but I'm going to leave now and if I do meet up with Bernice again I will make sure to help her in any way I can even if I fail at it."I say before I turn my back on Enchantress

"you are leaving now right?"

"yes, if what you tell me is really true then I should really get out of here while I still can."I tell her as I took a few more steps forward and to the vehicle I came here in

"I'm sorry but I really can't allow that, for you are needed else where."

before I could turn around to ask her what she means by those words

I started to feel really tired and I notice everything was become really blurry before I lost consciousness.

[Enchantress's Pov]

I used the teleportation spell to teleport to the unconscious girl after I used a sleeping spell on her,

I gently picked her up and headed to the tunnel, I will bring her vehicle out to the outside world by using a spell that can have it appear next to us once we are outside in the human world.

I know the young girl will have outrageous surprise once she meets her friend Bernice once again, I am hoping that things work out once the two are reunited

but once they are reunited, Lissie might be able to take in the change but perhaps once the two are together I will explain to them about the events that have taken place around them or didn't,

I know that Lissie was not affected by the timeline being restored to how it was before the event so she remembers the paradox timeline, to which is where she came from

but I took her out of that paradox timeline and placed her into the restored timeline which caused her own history to merge with the world's timeline that she was placed in and thank goodness she never talked about what she remembered about Bernice

people who knew her would think she was crazy, but I know when she meets with Bernice once again she will ask her some questions that the other girl will have no answer to

and that means I will have to be there to answer for her once the time comes.

[Third's Pov]

(Author's Note, nothing will be shown other than kissing and no intercourse will be shown.)

at the Lover's Secret Affair Hotel, in a room with the number fourteen on it

Jim was kissing Tyler on his neck as he held him close to him,

they have been secretly going out and they had been coming to this hotel so they could
well do what lovers do.

once they were caught making out by Lissie

the two had meant to go into the boy's bathroom but they went to the girl's bathroom by accident

they couldn't wait to kiss one another, and well in their rush they ended up going to the wrong bathroom

they made Lissie promise not to tell anyone what she saw or that the two boys are seeing each other
lucky for them she had kept that promise since that day.

they made sure to look at the bathroom doors first before rushing inside, as they didn't want to make the same mistake like last time

"Jim, shouldn't we go back now? I mean...I think we have kept her waiting long enough..."Tyler said as his boyfriend keeps kissing the back of his neck

"don't worry about her, she will be fine for a few more minutes...besides she doesn't know we are in this place, she might just think we are just picking a movie from the the video shop."

"but, we will get in big trouble for not coming back with the groceries...maybe we should stop and go back."

"you don't love me anymore do you?"Jim said as he stops kissing the other boy's neck and moves away from him and sits away from him, having some part of the blanket covering his lap while his legs were hanging out

both boys were only in their underwear and their shirts and pants were on the floor,

"of course I love you, it's just...Lissie might not be too happy with us just not coming back for so long...and I hate the fact we are keeping everything secret, about coming here...we were going to come here anyway, but then we were told to go get groceries."

"yeah, I hate that we were ask to get groceries when we were suppose to be together alone today...and I was going to ask you...oh man! no wait forget what I said!"

"wait what were you going to ask me Jim?"Tyler asked as he looked at Jim with a curious look on his face and the look on the other boy's face looked so cute to Jim that he couldn't help but give in and with a heavy sigh

"I was gonna wait until we were ready to head back, but I guess this is a fine time as any to ask you this."Jim said as he got up and headed over to the floor and reached into his pant's pocket and got out a small box
he then turned to Tyler and got down on one knee and opens the box up, the other boy let out a gasp.

"the other surprise I had for you was that I found a house that isn't around here and well in another place...
we can make a new life there, maybe even open up that dream store you been talking about...so how about it Tyler, will you marry me?"

after saying all that, Jim was tackled to the floor and gave the most passionate kiss ever and after breaking the kiss Tyler said these words "yes."
everything seem fine for the two, at least it would seem but the happiness they had wouldn't stay very long

for as soon as they step out of that room, something very unfortunate will happen to one of them.

because there was another person who knew what the two boys had been up to and that they were meeting at the lover's secret affair hotel

and that person have been following them, waiting and they are waiting outside the room right now.

to be continued
