Alex P.O.V.

I woke up this morning to dinosaur roaring in the distance, and let me tell you it's far better than a alarm clock, we still have one but I'm not a fan. The last time I threw it out of the window hitting a soldier who was running, he got a concussion…

I stood up and saw that Josh was still sleeping, I took some clothing and went to take a shower, I was the first one up, dad was sleeping on the couch. I took my showed and the rest of the family woke up too, everyone took a shower leaving Dad to be the last, heh, the solar panels can only heat up a part of the water, leaving the last part cold.

I took the glass with the light green/ blue, drink, I read what it is but I have been in the military for 2 years without any decent food, I want something better. Josh was looking at his glass like it was going to eat him and at this moment I think it will.

"You tell me this is all we can have in the next 3 days?" Josh asked.

"Did you not ready any of the literature they gave us? Real food has all these enzymes our body's aren't used to yet, besides it's really not that bad." She said, I took a gulp of it… OMG…

"Sweet mother of anything that's holy! This is great!" I said drinking it, Josh looked at me like I just grew another head, or it's gonne happen any second.

"How can you drink that?" he asked, I looked at him.

"I have been in the military for 2 years without a decent meal, this is heavenly compared to that!" I said "But I would like real food…" I said, I looked at Maddy and smiled, she had a mustache from the green/ blue heavenly drink.

"I really don't want to go to orientation." Zoe said as Mom put a shirt on her.

"Mommy has a brand new job she has to go to. And Maddy and Josh are also going." Mom said, Maddy and Josh turned to me.

Dad walked into the living room.

"You guys used up all hot water, thanks." He said, with a smile.

"No, the solar panels can only heat up so much at a time." Maddy said.

"Blame the sun if you want." Josh said, Maddy drank more of the green/ blue heavenly drink, and Dad pointed out her mustache.

"How come Alex doesn't have to go to Orientation?" Zoe asked.

"Yeah, why?" Josh asked.

"What?" Dad asked, I sighed.

"I already saw everything I need to know at the military, I don't need to see it again, Commander Taylor asked me to look around and see what the other solders are doing and I'm going to go and see the physics department tomorrow. So today it's sightseeing." I said with a smiled, Josh rolled his eyes.

We prepared ourselves for the day, and left. We walked down the road and Dad looked confused.

"Umm.. Alex do you know where the Cloture department is?" Dad asked, I pointed behind us.

"A quarter mile that way, Dad." He nodded.

"You already know where it is?" he asked, I nodded.

"I read the literature and saw the map, I have memorized everything." He nodded.

"Okay, I'm off then." He said, I smiled. We stopped at the market.

"And you, no more wondering off, Okay?" Mom told Zoe who nodded. "I'll see you when I'm done. Have fun!" Mom told us and left, Zoe held Maddy's hand.

"No way!" Maddy said, I looked at the direction Maddy was looking at, it was the Probe. Maddy walked to it.

"I can't believe it"

"Believe what? What is it?" Josh asked.

"You've got to be joking. It's the probe! You know, the one they send through when they first discovered the time fracture. How can you not know that?" she asked him.

"I was having a life Maddy. The only one who could know this and still have a life is Alex, but she was gone for 2 years." Josh said. Zoe walked to the Probe and looked at the names that were carved in.

"It wasn't that bad…." I grinned" I was the best in class." Josh rolled his eyes and smiled, he could never be mad at me.

"No one know at first how far back the fracture went or even where it led to. They send this back so that you know, they could find it however many millions of years later." She said.

"Only they never did." I finished, Maddy nodded with a smile.

"Huh?" Josh asked.

"That's how they knew that they were with a new time stream." Maddy said

"Whatever." Josh said.

"Whatever? Okay, Josh you do realize that if we were in the same time stream then, something like I don't know, stepping on a butterfly could change everything. Like for example, us never been born." She said.

"Can I scratch my name on it like everybody else?" Zoe asked, I smiled.

"Go ahead Zoe, mark it." I said, Zoe began to scratch her name on it.

"I'm going. I have to do some sightseeing and I want to see if I can get some real food." I said walking away.

"I'm coming too!" Josh said running to me.

"Where do you think you're going?" Maddy asked Josh.

"To get some real food with Alex, I'm starving." He said.

"What about orientation?" Maddy asked.

"I'll explore along with Alex, Maddy." He said walking away with me.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him! Look after Zoe!" I shouted as we walked away.

"Finally, let's go find something real to eat." Josh said, I nodded.

"You know you're gonna get in trouble, right?" I asked him, he looked at me.

"Whatever." He said, I smirked and looked around the marked we entered. I was a black fruit and pointed at it.

"Is this edible?" I asked the woman at the stand, she smiled and nodded.

"Are you two new?" she asked, I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, we don't really know anything yet and I was wondering how much it costs." Mom and Dad gave us a little money. The woman shook her head.

"Oh, no you don't have to pay. Take it, it's a welcome gift." She said smiling, I smiled.

"Thank you." I said and took the fruit "Bye." I said, she waved.

"Bye." Me and Josh walked away.

"How do you always do that?" he asked, back at home I could get us free lunch at school.

"Smile!" I said smiling brightly, he laughed and too the fruit.

"How should we eat it?" he asked, I shrugged.

"Don't know, but I don't think the shell part is edible." I said as Josh tried to bite into the fruit. We heard someone laugh a little, we looked to the source of the laughter and it was a girl, she had brown wavy hair.

"So this is funny to you? That's how you get off, making fun of the new people trying to eat fruit?" Josh asked, the girl walked to us.

"Give me." She said holding her hand to us, Josh gave her the fruit. She walked over to a pole with a hard bamboo basis and hit the fruit at it. She then opened the fruit and gave it back to me and Josh.

"Thanks!" I said and took the fruit, me and Josh took a bite, hmm… it's so good.

"This is so good!" I said, taking another bite.

"Oah…" Josh said, looks like he doesn't really like it. I and the girl laughed.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I promise." She said.

"I'll take your word for it." Josh said and we turned around.

"Hey, what's your name?" she asked, I turned back.

"Josh." She looked at me, I smiled.

"Alex." She nodded.

"I'm Skye, fifth pilgrimage." She said holding out her hand to me, I shook it, she then held it out to Josh who also shook it. "So, you're a recruiter at the lottery." She said.

"Our Mom was recruited so we all had to come." Josh said, I nodded.

"Yeah."

"So, you guys are…"

"Twins." Me and Josh said at the same time, we looked at each other and smiled.

"This is freaky." She said, I smiled at her.

"You have no idea."

"Those people count themselves lucky." Skye said, me and Josh were silent "You both left somebody behind." She said, I nodded.

"So what's there to do around here anyways?" Josh asked, I smiled and looked at Skye.

"Well, depends on how close to the edge you like to walk." She said walking away. Me and Josh looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go." He said, I nodded. We walked out of the market following Skye.

"Josh, Alex" Dad said as we passed him.

"Dad." Josh said.

"You're supposed to be at orientation, what are you doing?" Dad asked Josh, we looked at each other. Dad saw Sky and sighed "Josh, this is not how you start your first day, would you excuse my son please, there's somewhere he has to be." Dad said pointing at the direction of the orientation. "Let's go." he said, Josh turned around. "Hey, I told you-"

"You can't just come back after all this time and start telling me what to do!" Josh said, I looked at him and Dad. He turned around "Let's go." He said walking away, I turned to Dad.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Dad nodded and I ran after Josh. We walked a little further in silence.

"So, how bad are things in 2149?" Skye asked.

"It's funny when the only thing you know is that it's normal, but coming here you realize how bad things have gotten." Josh said.

"Yeah, it somehow all seems lost." I said.

"I don't really remember much, I was just a kid when I left." Skye said, she looked at a house.

"Oh, this is my place." Skye said, me and Josh looked at the house. "Hey, guys! This are Josh and Alex, their new." She said, there was a guy and a girl.

"Welcome to Terra Nova, I'm Tasha. And that's Hunter." The girl named Tasha said putting a bowl down next to the guy Hunter.

"Hey, how ya doin freshmen?" Hunter asked throwing me and Josh a fruit, I caught it.

"So far so good." I said smiling at them, they smiled back.

"So this all you guys place?" Josh asked.

"Yeah, us and one other guy, Max."

"And your parents?" Josh asked.

"Mine live just up that way, why?" Hunter asked.

"I mean, it's your own place. Aren't you only like 16?" Josh asked.

"So, we work, we have jobs." Tasha said.

"Yeah, here you gotta grow up real quick." Hunter said.

"And you got the whole Taylor welcome speech didn't you? New down of civilization." Sky said, I laughed a little. Josh jumped a little as a guy put a hand on his shoulder.

"How was your office sweetheart?" Hunter asked the guy who walked past me and Josh.

"Not bad. Finished the hydro termite today." The guys aid looking at us "Who are the freshmen?" he asked looking at me and Josh.

"Name is Josh." Josh said, he looked at me.

"Alex." I said.

"Max, glad to meetcha." He said turning around to the others "So hot, who's up for a little OTG?" he asked them, Sky cheered.

"Okay, we'll meet you guys at the usual, in 20." Skye said, they nodded, Tasha turned to us.

"OTG on your first day, I mean that's gotta be a record." She said and walked away. Skye took me and Josh with her.

-Meanwhile-

"Just give him some time, he'll get around, you already get along with Alex well." Elisabeth said to her husband Jim.

"I just worry about them that's all. Together they have a neck for finding trouble, especially Alex." Jim said, Elisabeth laughed a little.

"Yeah, remember when she was small, she crawled through the ventilation system and got stuck?" Jim laughed too.

"Yeah, she always got into the weirdest situations." They laughed.

"I just hope they don't get into trouble" Jim said, his wife nodded.

"I hope so too."
