FHChick - Thank you. Believe it or not, you are the first to recognize my genious in a review! LOL

Well on with the story! Please R&R.
Kerry's POV
"Mom," Kerry's eyebrows cocked as she spoke, "did you hear that?"
"Honey, I think you might be dreaming. Mercy hasn't started time yet."
Kerry looked up the stairs anyway. Nothing unusual. Once again, she was curious anyway. She crept up the stairs and peeked in the small opened crack of her door. She did see someone. She saw Celia, a girl from school, wobbling and suddenly disappear. Kerry opened the door, but Celia and her crutches were gone.
Mercy's POV
"Ms. Turner?" Mercy called, her voice braking. "W-was that you?" Mercy walked upstairs to check it out.
"Mercy," Ms. Turner whispered, "all the memoriesā¦coming back."
"Say what?" Mercy retorted. She knew that Mrs. Turner was weird, but this was too much. "PLEASE cut the crap. What did you scream for?"
Before we go further, I'll have to tell you one thing if you haven't already figured it out. Mercy had the same good, nice girl reputation her mother had carried. (Well, at least before the 7th book) Good, good Mercy would never even say the "h" word in front of her friends. "MERCY!" Ms. Turner cried. "This is the truth! I'm remembering that I was a goddess and you are one too! And your mom!"
"Are you high?" Mercy asked. "On drugs? Goddesses are beautiful, wear robes, and give hope to people. Sure, I'm "special", but you wouldn't know about that."
Catty realized that there was no hope. She needed to figure out which one of them was the mentor, and what kind of goddess this student was. "Oh, I do know. My power," at this Mercy's jaw dropped in surprise, "was time travel. I had to fight theā¦" Catty's mind was filled with visions of the same apartment Tianna lived at once and she saw Serena mouthing "Kerry."
"The what?" Mercy inquired.
"Go with Kerry after school. Get time back to normal. I have to go." Catty looked like she was in a trance.
Kerry soon noticed why Catty screamed. It was for two reasons. First, she saw that her mother was in an awkward position. Second, it looked like Vanessa was being crushed by a man with shaggy blonde hair.
Celia's POV
"Get back here! Who are you?" Celia called as she ran after the woman. She ran and ran and ran until she could run no more, or at least until she realized that the woman had disappeared. She sighed when suddenly, a picture flashed in the back of her head. It showed her with Mercy and Kerry, the most popular girls in school, and also with a girl she didn't know so well. She saw that she was holding a skateboard and was very pretty. She wondered who she was. Suddenly, time started again. A receptionist asked who she was, but Celia jumped into a closet and beamed to school.
"Celia, what have I told you about beaming in public?" A maroon-haired woman appeared next to her.
"Mom, I can explain."
