Chapter 2

"Did you really think I was gonna send you spiraling through the past by yourself?"

"This isn't something you can help me with, I have to do it alone" she argued

"I swear you're just like your mother, Bri, I'm your best friend, you don't have to do this alone"

"You'll just distract me"

"Look, it's your choice, either I go with you, or you don't go at all"

"Fine" she relented

"I have to put the time in, do you know the exact date you wanna go to?" he asked

"Yeah, it's March 12th" she said

He punched in the numbers, and took her hand as they both stepped into the small machine.

"It stinks in here" she wrinkled her nose

"Let's see if I did this right" he said nervously as he punched the 'Enter' button

She clutched his arm tightly as the machine started shaking, and she took a sharp intake of breath and felt as if she were being thrown into a never ending pit. She grunted as they fell to the floor, wondering why the ground felt so soft. "Josh" she said worriedly looking around for him

"Down here"

"Oh, sorry" she laughed sliding off him "I don't think it worked" she said looking around; we're still in your basement"

"Think again gorgeous" he smiled "He picked up a newspaper from where he sat on the floor"

'March 12th 2005'

"Oh Josh you did it!" she squealed throwing her arms around his neck

"Shh" he warned "I don't think my parents live here yet" he said "we're gonna have to jump out the window"

"How are we gonna get back after I save dad" she asked worriedly

"I'll figure it out" he said confidently

He held her waist and lifted her out the small window into his backyard.

"So where are we headed?" he asked jumping out behind her

"Where all high school students are at nine o clock on Monday morning…Tree Hill High" she smirked

x-x-x

"I really wish it didn't look exactly the same"

"It is kinda freaky" she said glancing around

"No, that's what I call freaky" he whispered. Brianna turned around and took a sharp intake of breath "You look just like her Bri"

She smiled "Dad did always say we could have been twins…I guess I never realized how true that was"

"Well you can't just walk up to her looking like that, so what's your plan"

"I was thinking I'd tell her I was a cousin, mom never really knew her extended family, but I'm a cousin visiting for a couple days, and let's just say the family resemblance is uncanny" she smirked

"You think she'll buy it"

"Only one way to find out" she told him. She took a deep breath and headed towards Brooke who was stuffing her jacket into her locker. "You must be Brooke"

"Who else would I b-Oh my god, you have my face"

Brianna couldn't help but laugh "Grams did say we looked a bit alike"

"A bit…you're almost exactly as hot as me"

"I'm Brianna, I'm your cousin on your mom's side, I'm here to spend a few days with you, my mom says I need to get to know this side of the family"

"Oh" Brooke muttered "No one told me anything, but if they had that means I would have had to have a conversation with my parents, and who knows when that last happened" she said bitterly

"Well It's great to meet you Brianna"

"My friends call me Bri"

"Then Bri it is" Brooke smiled "I guess you could sit in on my classes since you're not really a student here…come on, I can't wait to introduce you to everyone"
Brianna looked over a shoulder and winked at Josh before looking back at Brooke "So do you have a boyfriend" she asked curiously, she didn't fail to notice the way Brooke's eyes lit up

"Not really" she said "but there is a guy…we're not exclusive"

"Oh…wow" Brianna said surprised "What's his name"

"Lucas" Brooke said a small blush creeping up his cheeks

"You don't wanna date him exclusively"

"Exclusive is overrated" Brooke shrugged as they entered the classroom
