Hi. Sorry it took so long but I had half of it done but my disk couldn't read my file when I wanted to continue typing so I had to start ALL over again. It stunk. Anyways, here's episode 3. Please review in the end. I'll try and have episode 4 in around two weeks. Sorry you have to wait so long.

Episode 2: "The news"

What happened in the last episode: A new enemy has appeared and it killed the Lord of Time and it captured all of the time shifters. Flint and co. went to the headquarters of the time police to investigate when out of nowhere appeared Kurai Okosan, the main servant of the new enemy. He did battle with Flint, Merlock, and caused Sara to go unconscious when he knocked her away. Once they were back at the time bureau, waiting for Sara to wake up, a knock came at the door and Dr. Goodman went to open it, only to discover two very familiar people.

Dr. Goodman stood in the doorway, not believing what he was seeing. The rain poured behind the two dark figures, and when lightning crashed, their silhouette was visible.
The young man looked around 20 years old, with blue eyes and brown hair that stuck to his peachy face because of the rain. His suit and overcoat was soaked as well. He resembled Tony so much. The only difference was, was that this man also had a brown mustache.
The young lady next to him looked around 19, with blue eyes and shiny pink hair that cascaded down her back and was pelted to her peachy face because of the rain. She wore a pink evening gown with a lavender overcoat over it. Both of them looked so pale.
"Olivia! Robert!" Dr. Goodman yelled. "You're alive!"
The young man's eyes widened and he lunged towards Dr. Goodman, grabbing him by the collar with great force. "Sir! You know who we are?!"
Dr. Goodman only stared at him, dumbfounded. 'He doesn't know who he is? How did he forget? More importantly, how can they both be alive when I saw their dead bodies after the ambulance took them? It just doesn't make any sense.' But now that he thought about it as he observed the both of them more closely, they did look much younger than they did when they died. Could it be that-
"Uncle Bernie?" Tony asked, breaking him away from his thoughts. "Are you okay?" He turned to look at the young man and he suddenly grew angry. "Let my uncle go!"
The young man turned to look at Tony. Sighing, he let Dr. Goodman go. "Please, I am begging you, if you know who we are, please tell us."
Dr. Goodman hesitated. Should he tell the truth? Would it affect the whole family? What should he do?
"Please," the young woman begged, "if you know who were are, tell us. We have a right to know."
Dr. Goodman looked into the eyes of his older brother's wife. Such pleas she was making. How much she looked like Sara when she was just a little girl and she pleaded for another cookie. Dr. Goodman smiled at the memory. He had finally decided. "You both are Tom and Julie, Tony and Sara's uncle and aunt."
Tony peered at the couple. They seemed familiar somehow, as if he had known them before. Why didn't his Uncle Bernie ever tell him and Sara about them? "Hey Uncle Bernie, how come we've never heard about them until now?"
A dark shadow cast itself on Dr. Goodman's eyes. "Because they lived so far away. I never had the chance to contact them. Although I don't understand what caused them to get amnesia." He looked up and smiled at everyone. "Why don't you two go and dry off by the fire? I'll go and get some tea for you to drink." Turning to Tony, he said, "Tony, take off their wet coats and lead them into the living room where they can dry off." He disappeared into the kitchen.
Tony did as asked and took off their coats. The couple followed Tony into the living room but stopped once they saw Merlock and Sara on the couch. Julie peered into the face of the girl on the couch and wondered, 'Why does she seem so familiar?' They were especially staring at Merlock.
"Who is that?" Tom asked, pointing at Merlock. Merlock's presence in the room caused Tom great disturbance and a feeling of being uncomfortable.
Merlock glared at Tom but said nothing. Why should he? All he cared about was Sara and her well being. He looked over his shoulder at her to be able to gaze into her lovely face.
Tom and Julie sat down as far away from Merlock as possible.
Clattering could be heard from the kitchen and everyone guessed it was Dr. Goodman who was busy making the tea. Julie decided to help when moans
were heard coming from Sara's direction. Julie stopped and turned to look at Sara who slowly was sitting up. Sara looked around the room as she placed her free hand on her head. Her gaze settled on Tom and Julie. "Who are you two?"
Tony walked over and sat down next to her, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry Sara. These two people are our uncle and aunt, Tom and Julie. They have amnesia so they don't know who they are."
At that moment, Dr. Goodman came back into the room with the tea. "Ah Sara, you're finally awake." He set the tea down and stretched as he yawned. "Please excuse me but I'm tired like I'm sure everyone is. Tony, when they're ready, show your uncle and aunt to their rooms please."
Tony nodded as his uncle disappeared behind a door and into his room.
Julie's head went down. "We thank you for your kindness."
Tony smiled at her in his most charming way. "Hey, you're our relatives. It's our pleasure to have you here. And don't worry about the amnesia thing. We'll help you to get your memory back."
Julie looked up at him and smiled. They drank tea and then went to bed.

Sunshine streamed through the trees, causing the warm day of Wednesday. Tony, Sara, and Flint walked to school, still puzzling over the two "relatives" that suddenly appeared with amnesia.
"You should have seen the way uncle Bernie looked Flint," Sara told him. "He looked like he doubted his own words. I know he's hiding something."
"But you should always believe what your Dr. Goodman says. He's a scientist. Ms. Iknow said that scientists are always right."
Tony looked up at the sky and smiled a smile of amusement. "Not always Flint. Scientists are actually smart people who try to discover stuff so their not always right."
Flint leaped into the air. "Then maybe that means Ms. Iknow is a scientist."
Tony and Sara merely shook their heads as they continued to school.

In class, all the students sat, waiting for Ms. Iknow to get there.
Flint rested his head on his hands. "Where is Ms. Iknow? She sure is late."
Minutes later, she finally arrived, and with a smile on her pretty face. "I have some good news students. We have two new students joining us today. I want you all to welcome Derek and Karla Johnson."
Upon hearing their names, two people shyly stepped through the door. One had black, sleek hair that was parted in the middle and hung loosely on the side of his head. He had crystal blue eyes and peachy skin.
The other one, most likely his sister, looked so much different from the boy. She had light brown, sandy (in both feel and look), hair, big brown eyes, and brown skin. She looked Hawaiian.
Ms. Iknow pointed to some empty seats in the back. "You may both sit there."
Derek and Karla listened and slowly trudged up the stairs to their seats.
Ms. Iknow turned around and began her lesson.

Back at the time bureau, Dr. Goodman was researching the possibility of the two people being Sara and Tony's parents when he received a message from Ms. Grey. "Dr. Goodman, urgent news!"
"What is it Jillian?"
"We have located Kurai Okosan and we have discovered that he's going around through time, placing all the time shifters in their con form there. Please send Flint and the others to retrieve them."
Dr. Goodman nodded. This the beginning of Flint's new challenge......


I hope you like this part. WOW! Could Sara and Tony's parents really be those people? I'll have episode 4 out soon. Oh, and in your review, please wish me a happy birthday. It's on Feb. 4. Thanks.
