"Harmony, this is great and all, but… maybe we shouldn't be messin' with dad's machine" Rory said, standing awkwardly while his cousin pressed a bunch of buttons on the time machine Blaine and Brittany- well mostly Blaine- had built one year earlier.

The dark-haired girl sighed, and looked at Rory through blurry eyes. "I have to meet Rachel, Rory. I have to meet my mom." She put her hand gently on the large, boxy machine. "This is the only way."

And with that, Sugar handed Harmony Rachel's red hat- the one she usually wore at Christmas- and all three of the children stepped inside.

"Alright." Rory squeezed his eyes shut. "Hold on tight. We're off to 2011."

Almost instantly, the telephone booth-looking machine landed in an empty alley in Lima, Ohio. Of course, due to the amazing speed, there were some side- effects.

Rory, Harmony, and Sugar tumbled out of the box, and onto the hard pavement.

"God, I've never loved the ground more in my entire life." Harmony spoke first, as she as the first one to stop constantly gagging.

"I know!" Sugar agreed, "it's like suddenly I don't want to be a big, big star anymore." That earned her a strange look from the other girl.

Rory laid flat on his back, and tried his hardest not to get sick. "OH GOD! I hope that stupid high five was freaking worth it!"

"Well, it was Bryan Ferry…"

And so, as the three began feeling less nauseous, they walked out of the alley, and started to talk about their plans.

"Are you sure about this, 'Armony?" Rory asked, wishing in the back of his mind that she would rethink this whole plan, and want to go back "We could really mess somethin' up."

The tense girl turned around to look at Rory. "I have been sure about this ever since Uncle Blaine built that stupid machine! If you don't want to take part in the adventure of a lifetime so be it! The machine's right over there!" she pointed back at the alley.

He immediately turned to the other girl, deciding Harmony was not going to budge. "Okay, Sugar, first of all, your last name is Motta, got it?" Rory asked the confused-looking girl. She nodded her head frantically and smiled.

"Awesome." Harmony Chimed in, smiling at Rory, "You're going to be staying with us, but the name of you're father is Al Motta. He's a very nice man, and kind of a big deal. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Harmony nodded. "Great. Rory and I will both be Flanagans as of right now, and our parents are… who?" she asked, turning to Rory.

"Oh! There's a woman named Terri who offered to 'elp, honestly she doesn't look like either of us, and she's a bit insane, but she's all we 'ave. So she's our mother."

"Where are we gonna stay?" Sugar asked, as she began walking in circles around the other two.

Harmony grabbed Both of Sugar's shoulder to keep her still. "We're going to meet Terri and Al at the apartment complex on Robb Avenue. They're gonna show us our apartment and give us our school schedules, we'll pay them for it, and we'll live there until I'm satisfied."

So they were off. To find their "home", to find their "parents", to go to school, and to find their parents.

"Rory. This isn't going to work! SHE isn't going to work!" Harmony whispered, looking through the window of the apartment complex.

"I know it sounds crazy, Harmony, but, again, she's all we 'ave"

"My dad is super hot!" Sugar chimed in, twirling her hair. She gasped. "Kinda like ME."

Since both Rory and Harmony were staring at Sugar like she was an alien for the last three minutes, they didn't notice that Terri and Al had come outside to meet them.

"DADDY!" The girl yelled, running into her "fathers" arms. "Daddy you came to love me!"

Al Motta looked at Rory with a knowing glance; pointed to the girl in is arms and mouthed "Sugar?"

Rory smiled and nodded, turning to Terri, who had already been talking to the other girl. Harmony had handed the women a plastic bag full of money that she must've been saving for a year now, already getting a little teary at the thought of seeing her mother for the first time since she was a infant.

"Okay!" the blond cheered. "Here are you're schedules. School starts tomorrow. Al and I will pick you guys up at 6:30. Good luck you guys." She smiled widely. "I love you." And with that last remark, she left.

Rory sighed. "And that's why they're our parents. Because they're the only ones crazy enough to believe us." Harmony whimpered and rested her head on Rory's shoulder. This was going to take a long time.
