New York International Airport
Lyssa's Intro
Could life get any worse? Ok so you don't know my story. Well it all goes back to when my mom died, which was in 2002. Right before she left to go to work she said to me, "Honey, I know you and you sister are very different and I hope you never change that. But if you would take care of her, I know she thinks she can handle herself but she can easily put herself in the hospital by over working herself. So promise me she won't over work herself while your still teenagers. And don't forget I love you."
It sounded like she was dieing. But I promised her because I love her. Then she left for work and I forgot about the promise in the middle of 2nd period, which was PE. Then in the middle of 8th period I was called to the principles office. Now I skip school a lot but I go just enough to pass my classes. And when I am in school I'm an angel so they don't suspect a thing. I got to the principle's office and sat down.
"Now Alyssa, I had terrible news. On the bridge there was an accident. A drunk driver rammed into a woman heading to work," he said solemnly. This didn't sound good. "That woman was your mother."
"WHAT? Is she ok? Where is she? TELL ME!" I screamed crying. She was ok, wasn't she?
"Alyssa our mother died in the fire. There was no hope for her."
I was hysterical for a while. I even had a seizure and a metal break down a couple of weeks after. Who wouldn't? My mother was only 39 years old. And she loved me. Then I was still sad but time had dulled the pain a little. I was upset with my twin sister. She was trying to take mom's place! She cooked our meals got me up, made coffee for dad and fussed over our overprotective big brothers wrestling injuries. After a while I got fed up with all of it and now here I am packed of and leaving New York. I'm using my collage fund to pay for the plane ticket and to rent an apartment in a small town in Kentucky. That alone cost me almost 3,000 dollars. Luckily ever since I was born my parents put 1,500 dollars in my collage fund. See mom was a lawyer and dad was a doctor. So now I have $21,000.
Now you know my story and why I'm all packed up at an airport, I just wish---------.

New York International Airport
Aly's Introduction
This is just great. I'm in hell. I should tell you why though. So the year was 2002. My mom had just had a talk with Lyssa, my 6-minute-older twin sister. "Good bye, girls. I love you both very much." Little did I know that would be her last words me. It to painful to explain. But what happened is a drunk crashed into her and she died. Lyssa expressed her feelings openly but I just cried myself to sleep every night. I still do.
But I took over what my mom did usually. Now two years later I'm going to one of the things that will change my life forever. The Gregory fellowship is a 4 year scholarship to Harvard, Yale, Stanford or Oxford. There are 12 finalists and only 4 people will be picked to go to those schools. I want to go to oxford because it is a chance to go to another country and it is an ocean away from Lyssa. I love her but she dumps all the responsibility on me and I'm sick of that.
Now my life is far from perfect but if I could have one wish it would be---------.

Sunset Bvd.
Suzy's Intro
This is great as soon as I get to the hotel I get to see my parents. Let me explain my story. I'm Suzy Ryan, the child star. I just turned 8 and I get to see my parents for my birthday party. And I get to stay with them for two months! I don't usually see my parents because I go on so many publicity trips and am shooting movies. That's what happens when you're a star. I did want to be famous but not this famous. I miss the way my mother sings to me at bedtime and how my papa pick me up just to get the cookie jar and not tell mother.
Anyway it looks like a storm is coming. And Miss Emma, my nanny is talking to the driver. This is a boring car ride. Uh oh. "Is the car ok?"
"I'm sorry Miss Ryan. The car broke down. I'll try to fix it. But would you mind terribly to go to that town down there to see if there is a mechanic. It's just a few yards away. We may be here a while so if you should take your luggage and rent a room in a hotel. But Miss Emma you shall need to help me here."
"I don't know if she should," Emma said uncertainly.
"Emma I'll be ok I'm 8 years old now. I can walk to a town for help."
"Ok but if you see any reporters or bad looking people run right back here," Emma said in her Scottish accent.
So now I'm in the town and I found a mechanic shop. I ring the bell and ask, "Is anyone-------."

Sarah's Room
Sarah's Introduction
November 1774
Dear Mother,
I haven't asked this in a long time. How are Samuel and Stephanie? I do miss them dearly as much as I miss you. I wish there was some device that could allow me to see you all at this moment.
We are to go to Boston tomorrow to interview the colonists to see exactly how they feel about the British Soldiers blocking off all shipment from the sea. We already know they are upset, but James wants to go. I think it is just because nothing exciting has happened for about a month or two.
I am very sorry this letter is so very short but I must pack up my belongings. I hope you are well.
Your loving daughter,
Sarah
After that I got my traveling bag out and opened it. Then I went over to my wardrobe and got some dresses out of it, folded them up and placed them in my traveling bag. I picked it up and suddenly---------.

The Print Shop
James' Intro
I know finding out what the people of Boston think of the Redcoats blocking the harbor isn't really news. But things have been so dull lately. Why isn't any one doing anything important or exiting? Oh well, I better get packed tonight or I'll have to wake up earlier than I already have to.
He went to his wardrobe and got out some pants, shirts and vests out. Unlike Sarah, he didn't bother to fold them. He picked up the bag to put it by the floor so he wouldn't forget to bring it with him tomorrow. When he was at the door and was about to set the bag down he---------.

Henri's Intro
Oh boy, we get to go to Boston. I remember when we went to get Sarah. After we got away they told us what happened when they met. That was a funny story. And the tea party was fun to. Until the redcoats came.
Well I'm all packed up. Wait a minute were did I put my bag. I see it. I'll put it by my bed so I don't lose it again.
He picked up the bag and---------.
