The rest of the weekend went by too quick for his taste. Nothing else strange happened. No creepy dreams, no moon in his head, no strange feelings. The only thing out of the ordinary was Dad working so much. Today was one of the special days were they didn't have to wear their uniforms to school. This alone was enough to brighten everyone up. Matt was talking about how they should do this once a week instead of twice a month. Basil happily jumped in the conversation feeling normal again. He could see the walls around the school, people streaming into the courtyard. Then he didn't. Everything turned black and the sidewalk was no longer underneath his feet. So much for feeling normal. Despite the darkness he could see Matt's confused look. Freaking out wasn't really his style. He preferred to handle situations rationally. Losing it was Bridgette's thing and she is a master at it.

"Is this Outer Time?" Matt questioned. When they were three Dad told them what it was like to time travel and how it felt to travel through Outer Time.

"I think so but where/when are we heading?" Basil stared at the blackness around him. The next thing he knew they were in a room with four other people. He recognized his dad as one of them. There were two other boys around his age and girl about a year younger.

"Dad? Matt blinked a few times making sure he was seeing the right thing.

"Matt! Basil! What are you two doing here?" He approached them with fear in his eyes.

"JB you're a dad!?" The girl said totally surprised.

"We don't know. We were walking to school then the next thing we knew we ended up here." Basil said apologetically. He sighed and rubbed his face. Dad turned back to face the other three.

"Johan, Katherine, Chip, meet my two sons Matt and Basil." He introduced.

"Hi!" Matt smiled. That was classic Matt for you always beaming bright. The girl, Katherine kept staring at him making feel uncomfortable. It was like she was trying to figure him out.

"You seem familiar." She finally admitted. Dad was on his Ecuildator frantically swiping.

"Matt and Basil are time adoptees. Basil here was born in 2008, your era Katherine. While Matt is from 1780." Dad spoke not looking up. A slight quaking started in his stomach. It was barely noticeable but he couldn't shake the feeling that it was a bad sign.

"So who's older?" The slightly taller boy, Chip, asked. Matt faced him and answered,

"We don't really go by who's older due to being born in different times, it's more like who was adopted first." Off to the side Dad exploded.

"What do you mean I can't send them back?! Who even sent them here?!" He yelled at the Elucidator.

"Looks like we're missing class today." Matt laughed.

"Fine by me. I wouldn't mind missing the note taking." Basil agreed.

"I don't know how or why you're here but you're stuck with us. So we might as well fill you in." Dad sighed. The four of them switched of parts of the story, someone else jumping in when they didn't say a detail correctly. Basically it was Dad was scanning through time to see if he could spot any anomalies. Then Johan, Katherine and Chip were sucked out of their time like what happened to them. Dad got a message from the time agency on his Elucidator saying for some reason time was acting screwy and the Eculidators were acting up too so traveling through time was risky by not ending up in the right place, but correct time. Something about the story didn't add up. How could time cause them to go to a time hallow and to a different location?

"I don't think time is the culprit here. I think something's wrong with space. Think about it. Pure time travel is going through time but staying in the exact same spot. But this kind of time travel also takes to different locations: space." Basil said. Everyone stayed silent till Matt leaned over and whispered in his ear blocking the side of his mouth with his hand.

"Do you think this has do to with everything that's been happening to you?" That answer felt right! Once Matt's head far away enough from his ear he nodded feeling confident and scared. Dad tapped his chin thinking about it.

"Like space as an individual or space as in the space-time fabric?" He muttered to himself.

"I'm not sure about that." Basil shrugged apologetically.

"Oh great more Einstein stuff." Katherine complained. That's right Dad just told them a few nights ago that he was the second Einstein kid. The unsettled feeling in his stomach became more intense but far from painful. That was when he noticed how disconnected he felt. Normally he was a human moon compass. No matter where or what time of day it was he could tell you exactly where it was in the sky. But now that feeling was gone. How reliant on the moon am I? He rarely relied on other people so this idea of being reliant on the moon was painful to grasp. Why can't life come with a manual?

"Hey Dad you said that you were scanning time for any anomalies. Did you finish?" Matt questioned. Dad smiled at him.

"No. Good idea Matt!" He patted him on the shoulder than walked to a wall. Before fallowing they place their school bags in the corner so they would be out of the way. It started from what looked like the early twenty first century then went backwards.

"This is right before we came here." Johan commented. Dad nodded.

"I managed to get through our time to here before you came. I set the Elucidator to notify me if it detects any anomalies. Maybe if we just keep going back we'll find what's causing the trouble." He kept his eyes glued to the screen
