Joe's POV

I was in Rachel's office with Abby and Rachel, we were talking about Dr Steve, we needed to find him but there wasn't a trace of him anywhere. It was maddening that he could make Cammie want to do something like jump of the building and then disappear. I wanted to kill him and I knew a lot of people who wanted him dead too, two of them were in the room with me right now.

It was 11:30 and all the girls and Zach were in their rooms, it was a Saturday so they were all probably still awake.

The door opened and our conversation stopped as we turned to see who had entered, they hadn't knocked which was unusual. Standing in the door way was three children. Two of them were obviously identical twins; they both had piercing green eyes and blonde hair a bit past shoulder length and they had the same look on their faces complete and utter shock. The other child, a little boy, had the same eye colour but had darker hair than the girls. They were obviously siblings. I looked at Rachel and Abby who were also staring at the children with shock that I'm sure was on my face.

How had children gotten into the mansion undetected? I knew I didn't know these children but they looked a little familiar.

"Mum and dad are going to kill us!" One of the girls said and the two others nodded. The boy hide behind his sisters he looked scared. The girls started to argue blaming each other for something.

"It was your fault!"

"No you pushed the button as well, it's more your fault!" That continued for a couple of minutes before I cleared my throat to let them now that we were still here. They stopped straight away and turned to look at all of us.

"Who are you? And how did you get into this building?" I asked them but I think my voice was scary or something because the children all cowered in fear. Rachel and Abby gave me a hard looked and I think I cowered a little bit as well.

"Hey, don't be frightened." Rachel crouched in front of them and spoke with a light, happy voice, the children seemed to relax a little, "That's better. Now how about you come and sit on the sofa, yeah?" They seemed reluctant but they followed Rachel and sat down. "There we go. Now what are your names?"

The children looked between themselves and seemed to have a silent conversation. "I'm Noah Matthew." The little boy spoke with pride, he obviously liked his name. "I'm Madeleine Amy, but I like to be called Maddie." She smiled at us as she spoke, obviously a confident little girl. "I'm Lucy Amelia." She had the same confidence as her sister.

"Those are some cool names." Abby said kneeling in front of the sofa; Noah nodded enthusiastically, "How about your last name?"

The girls seemed reluctant to say there last name for some reason but Noah obviously being younger than them didn't see any problem with saying their last name, "Goode." We all looked at him. His sisters looked at him like they wanted to kill him, Abby looked confused, Rachel seemed to be frozen and I just stared at the boy waiting for him to say "only joking." But he didn't and he also seemed to be oblivious to the people around him staring.

How could their last name be Goode? Zach was an only child and I know for sure that his parents haven't had any more children let alone three. I was the first to come out of the haze, "Did you say Goode?" I said in a quiet voice so as not to scare him as I had before, he nodded.

"Who are your parents?" He looked at me confused, he was about to answer when Lucy and Madeleine put their hands over his mouth. We all had come out of the haze and were looking at the children argue between themselves, again. Noah wanted to tell us something but his older sisters were telling him it was a bad idea.

Noah whispered into his sisters' ears, we could all hear his small, quiet voice. "How come they don't remember us?" He looked heart broken, and tears were in his eyes.

"Because I think that machine took us somewhere, and where we are people are younger."

"We must have gone back in time!" Lucy or Maddie whispered they both looked the same, the other two nodded. "But isn't that impossible." The other girl pointed out.

"Maybe this is a dream! So it doesn't matter what we tell them." They all nodded and seemed to agree with this hypothesis. They all stopped whispering and turned towards us.

"Our mummy and daddy are Cameron Ann Goode and Zachary Goode." Noah said. Silence filled the room, they had to be lying.

"That's impossible." I whispered and their heads all whipped around to look at me. But as I looked at their features again I realised why they looked so familiar. They all had Zach's eyes and Cammie's hair. They looked familiar because they were familiar.

"It is not impossible."

Rachel spoke, her voice wavering a little, "It is because Cammie is upstairs in her room and she happens to be just 18 years old. Zach is also 18. And they happen not to have three children."

"Well they do because they are our mummy and daddy." I had to sit down.

"How about you explain how you got here?" Abby said she sounded calm but I knew she was feeling a bit crazy right now.

"Well, mum and dad dropped us of this morning because they have a mission together. You are looking after us, Grandma." We all turned to stare at Rachel, but the little girl continued with her story, "So are you Uncle Joe and Aunty Abby. We went wondering because we wanted to find all the secret passage ways just like mummy," they all nodded and smiled, "then we were walking down this corridor and Noah saw something, he can see stuff that other people can't, and he found this thing and we pushed against the wall and it made a gap. We went through it and found this machine, and there was buttons and we had to push one of them. Then the lights went off and stuff and we left the room and came here. You guys know the rest." Well then that explained everything; actually it didn't, not at all.

"Well it seems that you have all had a very busy day, how about I find some place for you all to sleep." They nodded and yawned after being reminded of sleep. Abby and I left the room as Rachel did leaving the children on their own.

"Okay, what is going on?" I asked as soon as we had shut the door. No one had an answer to my question.

"We should sort it out in the morning, maybe they are just making this all up." Rachel said but she didn't sound very convinced.

"No I don't think they are making any of this up, they genuinely believe they are Cammie and Zach's children. And I have to admit they do look like them, but it is impossible. I just don't understand what is going on!" She sounded frustrated and I knew how she felt, none of this made any sense.

"Well, we should do as Rachel said and sort it out tomorrow when we have thought it through." We all agreed with this and Abby and I walked to our rooms. All I could think about was the three children, and the more I thought the more confused I got. Where these children actually who they said they were?

Rachel's POV

I went back into the room after deciding they could stay in my room. The three of them were fast asleep on the sofa when I entered the room. They looked so peaceful and cute. I found a quilt and put it over the three of them.

I sat at my desk thinking. Where they really my grandkids? They did look very alike there supposed parents, but it didn't make their story any more plausible. But when Maddie or Lucy had called me Grandma I couldn't help but feel as if I was their Grandmother. Still it was impossible, these children looked eight and Noah looked four. And I think I would have known if my daughter had given birth to children.

It was 3:03 when I heard a noise and was woken. I looked up and realised I had fallen asleep in my office on my chair, it was very uncomfortable. I searched for the thing that had made the noise. I looked and saw Noah sat up with his eyes wide. He crawled off the sofa and walked over to me. He then climbed onto my lap, "Grandma, I want mummy. She would make you believe that we are telling the truth. And so would daddy." He hugged me and even though I didn't really know who this little boy was I hugged him back like I would do if Cammie was upset. "It's okay Noah, it's okay." He quietened down after a while and went back to sleep.

I put him back on the sofa and tucked him back in, I also tucked Maddie and Lucy in. They looked so relaxed and innocent, why would they lie? They wouldn't, so maybe they were telling the truth, maybe something had happened and they had gone back in time. I laughed at my own thoughts, time travel. It couldn't have been. Well, I prayed it wasn't.

I sat back down on my chair and fell back to sleep, dreaming about my future and my little grandchildren.

Lucy's POV

I was the first to wake up, at first I was confused about my surroundings but then I remembered what had happened. I cannot believe that we have, maybe, time travelled. That was so cool. Nobody was ever going to beat this. Young Grandma was slumped on her desk asleep, and she still looked pretty. I told mum that I wanted to be that pretty and she said I already was, I don't believe her, but oh well. I kind of miss mum and dad. But as soon as all this is sorted out we can go home and see them.

I knew that it was 7:05 in the morning and that Maddie would wake up soon and Noah would wake up ten minutes after she did. He always did, it was a little bit weird but nobody said my brother was normal.

Maddie woke up and seemed disorientated like I did at first but then she looked like she remembered what was going on.

"Lucy, do you think we will get home?" She sounded scared; I didn't like her being scared, it was weird because she was always the confident one. I was her big sister – by five minutes. Dad always said that even though it was only five minutes she would still look up to me sometimes, I guess now was one of those times.

"Of course we will, I promise." I gave her a hug, "Don't worry." She nodded. Noah woke up ten minutes after Maddie had, like clockwork. He seemed a little scared but he was okay. Grandma was still asleep. We all crept to the desk and stared at her. She must have felt the eyes on her because she woke up with a start. "Morning Grandma." We said in unison. She smiled.

"Morning to you, too." She stood up and came around the desk and knelt in front of us. "We are going to sort everything out today. Now we have to try and find you some clothes, okay." We all nodded and followed her out of the room.

This was going to be a stressful day. As we walked up the stairs I realised that if we had gone back in time we were going to see mum and dad as teenagers. Wow.

"Guess what?" I asked my sister who was stood next to me, Noah was walking ahead trying to keep up with Grandma.

"What?" She looked at my face.

"We get to see mum and dad as teenagers and all our aunts and uncles! We are going to find so much stuff out! This is so cool." I smirked and so did my sister. Mum said it freaked us out when we both smirked because we both looked a little evil.

"This is the best holiday ever!" Maddie said to me with excitement, I nodded. This was gonna be fun.


Hope you liked it.
