Well, since I got about three reviews I think I'll give you people more. I'm glad you all like it though. On with chapter two…

"I'll see you later..."

Rose sat bolt upright. She was dripping with sweat and breathing as if she had ran a twenty mile race. She finally took a deep breath started rubbing her temples. "Why does this keep happening?" Glancing over at the clock she frowned. It was nearly four in the morning. Rose pulled back the covers, got up, and grabbed her bathrobe. She tiptoed past her kids rooms; surely enough they were sound asleep with out a single care. Rose at last made it out to the nice deck of their beach facing home.

"Why is it he still haunts my dreams?" Rose asked as she glanced down at the water shimmering I the moonlight. Rose had tried to get rid of Jake from her mind completely and it had worked until now. She was so tempted to use her dream charm and try to contact him if... She swallowed hard; she had no idea if Jake was even still living. Somewhere in her heart though must still believe if she still is haunted by his presence in her dreams. It was the morning sun that awoke Rose to the fact that she was not in the appearance that her kids had come to know. Ever since she had been moved to Maine and renamed she also had gotten a device from Gramps that allows the user to change their hair, eye color, heck even their gender. She watched sadly in the mirror as she became "Lilly McKenzie". Her beautiful golden-blond hair turned to brunette; she made her "mark" go away too.

"Well, I guess it's better than nothing." She muttered as she tucked the device into her drawer. She was interrupted by her thoughts as she heard footsteps approaching her door.

"Surprise! Huh, where's-."

"Thought you two could sneak up on me huh?" the twins jumped as they turned around to face their mother.

"Wow," Violet commented as she caught her pulse again. "You must have been a ninja in a past life or something mom." Violet looked exactly like a miniature Rose except for the fact that she had a bit darker of blond. She was tall and thin but wore skate boarding clothes and her hair was usually pulled up in a messy ponytail.

"Something like that... So, are you guys ready for school?" They looked at her as if she was insane.

"Are you kidding me mom? We are on summer vacation, no school for three months." Drake answered Drake looked almost exactly like his father as well. He had a red stripe of color on his tips instead of green. He also had adorned skater type clothing such as baggy pants and loose-fitting shirt. He had also gotten Jake's disregarding of rules, he hadn't broken Jake's record of dentition's yet though. "Besides, aren't we going to just hang out today since Vie and I are thirteen today?"

"That's right, today is your guys birthdays." Rose had not known this before they had told her. "Um, how about we all go down to the beach?"

"Nah, we would rather hear more about our father. Since you told us when we were thirteen we could hear more about him." Violet and Drake had never really known anything at all about their father.

Rose gulped; she really didn't want to tell them much about that at all. Much less remind her about Jake again. "Later, let's go make some sandcastles." Rose wanted to wiggle her way right out of this awkward moment. So she did.

Later that night as Rose prepared dinner for them Drake and Violet were sitting up stairs in Violet's room. "Hey Vie, do you ever think it's weird that mom never wants to or has told us about our father? And these weird marks," he paused to lift up his sleeve to look at the dragon that encircled his arm. " she says are just a scar from a disease. She never even told us what disease it was from." Drake was starting to become mighty suspicious about his mother. What was she hiding from them?

"Well, I don't think it's right but I know where moms old yearbook is. Maybe it was who out dad is inside. Come on." She motioned to him as they snuck down the stairs and out to the garage. As they searched through the box they found something. "Hey look at this." Violet said as she dusted off an old photograph.

"That guy has the same hair as I do and he also has the same kind of ears I have too!" Drake exclaimed happily. "This must be mom then, why is her hair blond in this picture? She told us she always had brown hair." Drake now had some idea of what his father was like.

"Dinner!"

"Come on, I think it's about time we find out what really happened to our father tonight." Violet and Drake ran out of the garage shutting the door behind them.

Uh-oh looks like they have figured out what's really going on with Rose… R and R
