The Second Adventure
This story is a sequel to my story, Tradeoff, so you may want to read that if you haven't already.
Disclaimer: I do not own JatD. Kayla is my own character, though.
(Medieval Times)
A lot had happened since Kayla's mind had left Jane's time. One, Jester had finally admitted to Jane that he "loved her" but was now avoiding her. He was constantly embarrassed around her and seemed to be drifting away from her. Smithy seemed to be more of his "best friend" now as he spent much more time laughing and joking around with Smithy than he did with Jane. In fact, he hardly joked around with her anymore. Even though Jane liked him, she had started to wish he had never told her he loved her. It was now the thing that was ruining their relationship.
Jester had also revealed his name to be Virtus, after the Roman god of courage. Jane tried again and again to get him to use his name but Jester refused. He said he was too used to being called Jester and did not even like his name. But Jane felt that he was just too insecure about his name and needed to get over it. Despite her attempts, Jester had still sworn her to secrecy about his name.
She was very curious about Kayla. Jane had not gotten to know her, as they had reversed times and had never met each other. Her mind was awhirl from what she had learned about the future. There were "elevators", "cars", and strange devices. And their clothing was so strange. Jane wished she could tell her friends about what she had experienced but could not, for they would never believe her. They would either think her a liar or insane. If only there was a way, she thought.
If only there was a way.
(Present Times)
Kayla's new iPhone had arrived. Her old one had been destroyed by "Jane", according to Dr. Allen. She had been frightened of the device.
She recalled the events that had happened only a little while ago as if it had all happened yesterday. Kayla had been a knight. But now she was in the present, wishing she could go back and meet Jane. If only there was a way, Kayla thought.
Dr. Allen, the scientist who had transported Kayla to the past and had switched her mind with Jane's had decided not to reveal his new technology. He feared even though he would be thought of as a hero and would most likely win the Nobel Prize, his technology would be abused. People would be switching eachother's minds and it would create chaos. But even so, he was working on a way to send someone to the past without switching their mind with anyone else's in the past.
Kayla was his guinea pig. She was just waiting for that phone call.
And eventually it came. A year later. Kayla gathered her things that she would be bringing to the past and walked to Dr. Allen's office.
