The Chronicles of Nick and Nancy

A/N: Just for everyones information, the year 2003 was picked randomly...


Chapter 7

8 year old Nancy sat on her father's lap, smiling up at him. He smiled back at her and ruffled her blonde hair just before planting a kiss on her head. Her attention turned to her mother, who was sitting on the other side of the room watching her older brother, Nick, open his presents. He was now 11 years old. Nancy watched as Nick opened his last present and cringed when he pulled out a raptor toy, it looked real except for the fact that it was plastic. Suddenly a crash came from the kitchen along with her brother Sid's panicked voice yelling, "Rex did it!" As she slept Nancy smiled at that memory until a load bang rang in her ears, waking her up.

Nancy's eyes flew open and for a second she panicked, but then she remembered where she was. She was in an American facility that studied anomalies, but called them time holes. She turned her head to see what had made the noise. It was Wilson. He had fallen of his chair while he was sleeping. She stifled her laughter as he got up off the ground and back onto the chair. Wilson still heard her though, she was sure of it. Looking over at her, he turned even redder when he saw her watching him.

"You think that was funny?" He asked angrily, but his eyes gave away that he was playing with her.

She smiled, "Yes I think that its hilarious"

He chuckled and shook his head, taking a sip of his coffee. Nancy watched him and felt her stomach rumble.

"Um, can I have something to eat or-"

"Oh! Of course, I totally forgot that you haven't had anything to eat yet," He jumped off his chair and out the door but then quickly popped back in, "Wait I don't know what do you want"

Nancy sat up on her bed, "some tea would be good" He smiled and left out the door again. Nancy sighed, no matter what she will choose to do, leave and help Nick or stay, she would end up losing someone either way. If she left to go find Nick, she might lose both, But if she would stay she'd lose the last family she had and that was more important then a possible love. Wasn't it?


Nick leaned against the wall, closing his eyes and letting the sun's rays warm and dry him. He had spent the day swimming with prehistoric sea turtles called Arcelons. It had been very entertaining to see Sid and Nancy's reactions to the creatures since they were 13 and only a little bigger than the turtles themselves. Lost in thought he hadnt realized that Claudia had walked over to him. She leaned her head on his shoulder, waking him out of his thoughts. He looked down at her and her big blue eyes. He smiled. She sighed and bit her lip, debating whether or not to say something. "Nick-" She started but was cut off when Nick leaned down and kissed her. She was taken back for a second but then kissed him back, deepening the kiss. When they broke apart Claudia opened her mouth to say-

Nick felt himself wake up, slowly opening his eyes. He found himself lying on the ground with four cleaner clones around him. Breathing in deeply, he sat up and saw Helen appear from behind one of the clones. She smiled down at him as she took the cleaner's gun and pointed it at him.

"Well hello Nicky, sorry about the clone knocking you out but it was necessary," Helen said as she helped him up, still pointing the gun at him. Nick didn't say anything, he just stared at her with daggers in his eyes. Helen waved off the clones, "Go get the predators," she ordered them. Okay, Nick thought, this is definitely the right Helen, but how am I going to kill her if she has a gun to my face the whole time?


A/N: I just realized that in my story two of the children's names are Nick Temple and Claudia Becker and they are together like Nick Cutter and Claudia Brown... I didn't plan that... :)
