Thanks for all the good reviews for part one of this story. Someone told me that where Logan lives is spelled Fogle, not Foggle, the way I have been spelling it. Thank you for informing me, but I have seen it spelled both ways, and just picked one, like Zack and Zach. Same guy, but people spell it different ways. This one's really short, so I'll see about getting another chapter up tonight. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

"Did that guy jut say what I thought he said?" Max asked, watching Riley walk away.
"I'm not sure, but it sounds like we somehow hopped to the year 2001." Mumbled Logan as he turned the car around and started out of the city.
"Where are we going?"
"Just outside the city, so we can stop and think without paying parking or getting towed."
He parked the car on the side of the highway. Traffic was light here, but still busy compared to what they were used to.
"Wow, there are a lot of cars." Max said, she had never seen so many, especially on this highway.
"This isn't busy, Max" explained Logan, who remembered when he had visited New York when he was ten. Bumper to bumper traffic on some highways, and everyone was still going at 100. "But that's beside the point, we have to figure out what happened to us. Riley said it was still the year 2001, but a few hours ago, it was 2020. That's a problem."
"Logan, that kid was probably trying to freak us out, and obviously it's working. There is no way we could have 'hopped' into the year 2001. No way."
"Um, Max. Have you been paying attention to anything since the car stalled back there on the highway? There have been no police checkpoints since. The 'Welcome to Seattle' sign is still up, and there should be a huge police checkpoint instead!"
"Whatever."
"Max." Logan sighed. In order to do anything in the city, they would need money. But Post Pulse money was different than that used before the Pulse. "We need money. And you can't just go out and steal something, because that could alter the course of history, then we'd really be in trouble."
"Calm down, Logan. It'll be all right. Don't you have any cash on you, you usually do."
"Um. They changed the currency after the Pulse. Other than that, I have almost a hundred dollars, but we can't use it here."
"Are you sure you have no leftover cash from way back then?"
"Yes, Max, I'm sure. And besides if I did, it would be in my apartment, not in my car."
"How far is it into the city?" Max asked, looking at the skyline and the small houses around them.
"About a quarter mile. Why?"
"Gimmie your cash, and stay here, I'll see what I can do. I'll be back in about an hour. Relax. Find something to do."
"What are you going to do?" asked Logan as he handed Max the cash.
"Don't worry, I'll have us some cash in no time." She got out of the car and started running towards the city, Logan watching her disappear. He was a little worried about her, because she wasn't used to pre Pulse life. About two seconds after she disappeared, he worried, and then drove off after her.
