Chapter 2

8:45am Jimmy's house

Jimmy arose to the smell of pancakes. Jimmy raced down the stairs, almost tripping halfway down and slid into the kitchen, where Maria was eating some pancakes and reading the newspaper. There was another plate of pancakes across from her, obviously Jimmy's. Jimmy calmed down a little and sat down in the chair with the pancakes in front of him.

"Good morning sleepy head! Sleep well?"

"Yeah, these pancakes for me?"

"Who else? You know I was beginning to think that you were going to sleep all morning."

"It's only 8:45, what time did you get up?"

"5 o'clock"

"WHAT?! YOU GOT UP THAT EARLY?! Why?"

"In the college that I go to, you have to get up by 5:15am and get to class by 5:45am."

"Wow...remind me not to go to that college."

"I'll try. Now eat your breakfast Jimmy"

"You're starting to sound like mom."

"Thank you"

"Why are you reading a newspaper from a year ago?"

"While I was in college the last 3 years, I didn't have time to read the newspaper, so now I'm catching up on that."

"Oh brother"

"Hey that's my line!"

"Huh?"

"Get it? You're my brother, so I should be the one saying oh brother, not you."

"Uhh..."

"You still don't get it, do you?"

"Nope"

"Well at least you're honest, now finish eating."

"Okay"

10:00am Jimmy's house

Jimmy was sitting on the couch in the living room, while Maria was sitting in a chair reading some newspaper from 2 months ago. Jimmy turned on the TV and started watching cartoons. Maria read over an article when suddenly her eyes grew large and she started rummaging through some newspaper.

"Hey Maria, could you keep it down I'm trying to watch a show"

"Sorry, I'm looking for something important"

"What is it?"

"An article from 3 years ago."

"Why are you looking for that?"

"Because I just found something important about that"

"Okay. Hey speaking of important 2 people are coming over soon, they really want to see you again."

"Oh yeah, who?"

"It's a surprise. Now let's find that article."

"Okay, fine"

10:30am Jimmy's house

Jimmy pulled out a newspaper dated September 5th. Maria looked over and grabbed it from his hands.

"This is it!"

"Your welcome"

"You're the best big brother, thank you"

"So what is it about?"

"Huh?"

"The article."

"Oh, it's about a girl named Michelle whose family had died 2 ½ years ago. Supposedly her father went berserk and killed her twin sister, Liz, and put her into a coma for 2 years. He killed himself after shooting his wife and 2 daughters. The wife, Melissa, thought her 2 daughters were dead so she jumped off a bridge and killed herself. When Michelle finally awoke from her coma, she had a slight case of amnesia. She had one friend before this all happened, his name is Stephen Hicks. He's the one who found everyone. In the newspaper I was reading earlier it said that he moved to downtown Tokyo. She lives somewhere in this neighborhood according to this newspaper. We could reunite those two!"

"That's none of our business, though"

"Who cares, we would be doing something really good"

"It might cause more harm than help, and besides don't you want to see who's coming to see you?"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts about it, it's final, we're staying here and waiting for the people who will be coming shortly"

"Fine, we'll wait"

"Good, now since it should be about an hour and a half before they get here, how about we watch a movie?"

"Good call, I'll go get the popcorn"

"I'll choose the movie, we're watching this action movie, alright with you?"

Maria came back into the living room and sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in her hands.

"Sounds good, let's watch it"

Jimmy put the video in the VCR and sat down on the couch next to Maria, grabbed some popcorn as the movie started
