Chapter One: Misconception
And----everything changed.
It turned out a man answered the door. He was in his late twenties from appearance with blonde highlights in his brown ruffled hair. He was slim and about Jesse's height…he pretty much resembled Jesse except in modern age with dimples and extra white teeth.
"Hey-what brings you here?" he said
" Uh-" was all Jesse said
" hold on a second?"
"Sure" Jesse replied
The young man went down the porch steps to pick up the newspaper and came back next to Jesse. While he was flipping through it with his slender fingers.
"Uh- I'm looking for an old friend of mine-from umm-from college."
" Uh-huh--?" the young man said closing the newspaper as he looked at Jesse as he spoke.
Jesse scratched his head a bit looking around the house, it looked exactly the same as if nothing changed-except that Winnie wasn't there.
"I'm looking for Winnie…Winnie uh-Winnie foster"
"Oh Winnie!" the young man perked up
" You uh-know her?" Jesse twitched a bit
" Why yes-yes I do…" the young man replied "Any friend of Winnies is a friend of mine…you went to Harvard as well?"
"Why uh-why yes…" Jesse smiled. Now he was getting somewhere
" how did you know her?" the young man asked " by the way- my name is Ian"
"Oh-and uh my name is Jesse" he stuck out his hand as they shook one another's hands.
" I uh-went to study-I was a communications major and English major…"
" A journalist?" Ian said
" I'm getting there…"
" Whoa-that's nice…you get to travel a lot?"
" yea-"
"Hey Jesse- Winnie isn't around right now you want me to give her you're number or something?"
" Uh-yea…" Jesse stuttered a bit. Ian handed him a post-it as Jesse scribbled down his cell phone number on it and his name Jesse Tuck.
" Ill let her know as soon as she gets home…" Ian looked closely to Jesses handwriting which was quite messy.
" Alright." Jesse smiled and left. Would he really get to see Winnie? Finally?…

Er- I suppose this is an short chapter- due to the fact that I had very little time on my hands to make this actually reasonable and comprehendible to your desires…please excuse my spelling!
