AN: I'm sad to say this is the last chapter. It was fun writing, and hopefully you guys had fun reading. On a happier note I'm planning to write a sequel, and hopefully it will be up soon, if I get around to writing it. If you have any ideas of what you'd like to see happen in the sequel tell me! I'd be happy to do whatever you'd like.

Mackenzie slowly opened her eyes, trying to figure out what had just happened. As her eyes opened and her senses came back to her, she remembered the colors and the blackness she was no longer in the past, she was back in the future, her future, and things already seemed different. She sat up as her eyes adjusted to the dark and looked around.

Getting off the bed, she wandered around the small room, flipping on the light in the process. There were a couple pictures on the walls, and some sat in frames on a desk and night stand. She examined some of the pictures, a couple of them were ones she remembered from when she was younger, and a couple shocked her.

A smile came across Mackenzie's face when she saw one of the pictures on the wall. It was a picture of her and Alec, and it looked like it had been taken recently. "We did it." She whispered to herself. Mackenzie looked down at a picture on the desk, and her heart almost stopped. It was a picture of her and...her mom. This picture, like the last one, looked like it had been taken recently. "She's alive."

Mackenzie's smile grew as she put the picture down. She walked over to the bed and sat down, glancing around the room. That was when it hit her, Benjamin had said they wouldn't remember what they had done in the past, but she remembered everything. Maybe Benjamin had been wrong and they would be able to remember everything they'd done. But what about the memories they should have? The memories of the future they had changed. It was then she knew everything was going to be very awkward.

Lying down Mackenzie closed her eyes, and prayed that, if she fell asleep, when she woke up she'd have the memories of how her life turned out. Mackenzie didn't want to be stuck in a life she couldn't remember, even if everything had changed for the better. As her thoughts died down, Mackenzie slowly fell into the world of slumber.

"Kenzie." She heard someone whisper. "Kenzie wake up."

Mackenzie opened her eyes to see a little boy, about the age of four standing there. She looked him up and down, he had big blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair, like her own. "Can't I sleep another hour?" she mumbled.

"No, mommy says if you're not in the kitchen in ten minutes, she's going to ground you."

Mackenzie sighed, "Tell her I'll be there in five."

"Ok." Mackenzie watched as the boy ran out of the room.

Pushing herself out of the bed she looked at the mirror on her wall, that she hadn't realized was there. "Now why didn't I notice that last night?" she questioned, when she saw her reflection. Her once long hair was cut shorter, instead of being past her shoulders, it was just above them.

Shrugging, she turned and left the room. Walking out into an apartment she remembered well. Smiling she walked over to the kitchen where her mom was sitting at the dinner table, with a cup of coffee in front of her. "Morning mom." Mackenzie felt shivers go down her spine, it felt so weird to her to say that.

"Don't you mean afternoon?" Jondy questioned her daughter.

"What time is it?" Mackenzie asked in response, as she sat down, across from her mother.

"Just after twelve." Jondy replied, taking a sip of her coffee.

"And yet you're still drinking coffee." Mackenzie smiled.

"I'm drinking the rest of the coffee." Jondy clarified. "Do you think you can watch Lucas for me tonight? I want to go out for a while, actually me and the girls are going for a girls night out."

"Can't dad babysit?" Mackenzie complained.

"No, you know he's going out with some of the guys tonight on some heist they've been planning for weeks." Jondy sighed.

"So I'm stuck babysitting?"

"Sorry hun, I'll bring you back something nice." Jondy stated.

"You better." Mackenzie mumbled, causing Jondy to laugh.

Benjamin rubbed his forehead, trying to figure out what happened. Did they make it back to the future? Were things different? Were they still in the past? Benjamin rolled slightly, and fell, hitting the ground with a loud 'thump'. Groaning he sat up and looked around, he saw a desk with a computer on it, across from where he sat on the floor, and a bookshelf with books filling it, as well as some various other things.

Pushing himself up off the floor he saw two pictures sitting on a night stand on the other side of the bed he'd fallen off of. Looking at the pictures more closely he saw one of him, his parents, and three other children, two boys, who looked like twins, and one girl. He smiled, his family was safe, and it had grown. Benjamin glanced at the other picture. It was a picture of Mackenzie and himself, and it looked like it was one of their birthdays, or possibly Christmas. The two of them were just making stupid faces at the camera. Benjamin laughed, before he walked out of the room, to see what would face him.

He looked around and smiled, they weren't living in an apartment anymore, they were living in a house. Go figure, he did have a big family now. The question that ran through his head though was, 'Why don't I remember this life? Why is it the other life I remember?'

Benjamin knew he wouldn't be getting the answers anytime soon, so shrugging he walked into the kitchen, where he saw a note sitting on the counter. Picking it up he read it over,

'Benjamin, surprised you slept so late. I'm at HQ, your dad took Emily out shopping (surprise, surprise), and Adam & Brody went over to Krit and Syl's place to hang out with Seth for awhile. So you have the house to yourself. See you later. Love, your mom.'

'At least now I know my siblings' names,' Benjamin thought to himself, when he put the piece of paper back down on the counter. Sighing he went through the fridge, looking for something to eat. Finding, what looked like left overs, he walked over to the microwave and put it in for a few minutes.

While Benjamin waited for his food to finish heating up, he looked at his surroundings, and began to wonder were exactly they lived, because he knew they weren't living in TC, after all the toxins could kill his father, unless they found a way around that. The sound of the microwave ending brought Benjamin out of his thoughts. Taking the food out of the microwave, Benjamin quickly looked through the drawers for a fork, and then sat down and ate.

Once he had finished eating he looked around the house. There were four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, an office, and a rec room. Benjamin was quite amazed, and came to the conclusion the transgenics must of built it, because he highly doubted a house like this had just been sitting there vacant.

Walking into the living room Benjamin looked at the pictures filling it, hoping he'd be able to figure out how his life had turned out, how it had changed. He saw pictures of his parents, himself, and his siblings, at various times of the year. The pictures didn't tell Benjamin much, but he was guessing things were definitely different, better.

He was about to sit down when the phone rang. Sighing he walked over to it, "Hello?"

"Benji?"

"Yea it's me Kenzie." Benjamin smiled.

"Oh thank god. It took me an hour to find your number, and I was so scared it would be wrong."

Benjamin laughed, "Nice to talk to you too."

"Sorry, I'm just...I'm just going crazy right now."

"And why is that?

"My dad's alive. My mom's alive. I have a baby brother named Lucas. I'm in heaven right now. Except for the fact that I'm stuck babysitting. What about you? What kind of surprises did you get?"

"Both my parents are alive, and I have three siblings. Two brothers, Adam and Brody, and one sister, Emily. My brothers look like they could be twins."

"We're not only children anymore. Looks like our lives have taken a turn for the better. I'm just worried about our memories."

"Yea I know me too. Lets just hope that they come back sooner rather than later."

"Yea. But I gotta go, my mom's calling me. Boy does it feel weird saying that. I'll see ya later Benji. Bye."

"Bye." Benjamin heard a click and put the phone down. He smiled, everything had turned out for the both of them.

Mackenzie sat on the couch watching tv, Lucas sitting beside her. They heard the phone ring, both decided to let their mother answer it, because, well they were quite content where they sat.

"Mackenzie! Lucas! Your dad's on the phone." At that they both jumped off the couch, and ran to their mother, both wanting to talk to their father.

Jondy shook her head and handed Mackenzie the phone, "Make it quick your brother wants to talk to your dad too."

"Yea, yea, whatever." Mackenzie laughed. "Hey dad."

"So I heard you got stuck with babysitting duties." Mackenzie smiled, it felt so good to hear her fathers voice.

"Yea. Thanks to you."

"Hey, we've been planning this heist for awhile, can't back out and babysit."

"I know. But you be careful on the heist dad."

"I always am. We'll hopefully be back sometime tonight. But if I don't see you till tomorrow, goodnight, and I love you."

"Goodnight. Love you to dad." Mackenzie replied. "Here's Lucas."

Mackenzie handed the phone to her younger brother, before heading back to the couch and sitting down. She listened to her brother babble on, and couldn't help but smile. She had a family, an actual family. Her parents were alive, she had a brother, and Benjamin's life was looking pretty good too. His parents were alive, and he had quite the big family now, Mackenzie was happy for him. She just wished she could get the memories she needed fast, before she did something stupid.

"Mackenzie."

Mackenzie's head snapped up to look at her mother, "Yea mom?"

"I'm gonna go now."

"Ok." Mackenzie sighed.

"You can call Benjamin, see if he wants to help you out."

"Do you really think he'd want to help me babysit Lucas?"

"Yea, I'm sure he would. After all he'd get to spend time with you." Jondy laughed. "Don't see why the two of you haven't hooked up yet. You guys would make the cutest couple."

'So we aren't together yet in this time.' Mackenzie mused to herself before asking, "Does everyone have to bug me about that?"

"Because we all know the two of you are meant to be together, and are trying to help you seen that." Jondy replied with a smile.

"Whatever. Now go, or you're going to be late meeting up with your friends."

"Oh so now you are trying to get rid of me."

"Yes mom, so that I can lock Lucas in a closet and go out." Mackenzie joked.

"Then I guess I should get going." Jondy smiled. "Be good and stay out of trouble. I love you." Jondy said kissing the top of Mackenzie's head.

"I will, you better stay out of trouble too mom. Love you." Mackenzie smiled up at her.

Jondy walked over to Lucas who just put down the phone, "Listen to your sister kiddo."

"Kay mom." Lucas replied.

Jondy hugged him and said, "Love you."

"Love you too mom."

Mackenzie sighed when she heard the door close and looked at her younger brother. "So what do you want to do Lucas?"

"I want Benji to come over." Lucas replied walking over to Mackenzie, with the cordless in hand.

"Then why don't you call him and ask if he wants to come over." Mackenzie smiled.

"I will." Lucas replied, leaving the room, and disappearing into what Mackenzie was guessing was his room. After a few minutes he came out and handed Mackenzie the phone. "He wants to talk to you."

"Thank you Lucas." Mackenzie said taking the phone. "Hey Benji."

"Ok so where exactly do you live?"

"Same place I did as a kid." Mackenzie laughed.

"Ok, I'll be there when I find it." Benjamin stated. "Talk to you in a bit."

"Yup. Bye Benji."

"Bye Kenzie."

Mackenzie smiled and handed Lucas the phone, "Can you go put that on the receiver for me?"

Lucas took the phone from Mackenzie and walked away. When he came back he asked, "So is Benji coming?"

"Yup." Mackenzie smiled.

"When?"

"In a bit." Mackenzie replied.

"Well when's a bit?"

"A bit is a bit." Mackenzie sighed. 'He's just as bad as I was, when I was younger.' Mackenzie mused to herself. She laughed as her brother walked away.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Lucas said as he ran from his room. Mackenzie heard the door open, and Lucas say, "Hi Benji."

"Hey kiddo, where's your sister?"

"Living room." Lucas replied, closing the door once Benjamin walked into the apartment.

"Did you want me to come over so that you could sit around and watch tv, while I watch your brother?" Benjamin questioned.

"Uh, no?" Mackenzie replied, looking at him as she sat up.

"Sure, Mackenzie."Benjamin laughed.

"Can we watch a movie?" Lucas questioned walking up to the two of them.

"Sure, which one?" Mackenzie smiled.

"Shrek." Lucas replied.

"Which one?"

"The first one, and then the second one, and then the third one and then..."

"Ahh... so you want to have a Shrek marathon do you?" Mackenzie asked her younger brother. Lucas nodded, making Mackenzie's smile grow, "Then go get the popcorn, and drinks. I'll find the movies."

"Their in my room." Lucas stated.

"Then go get the movies, and I'll do the popcorn, and get the drinks." Mackenzie sighed.

"Ok."

Twenty minutes later, Mackenzie, Benjamin, and Lucas were all crammed on the couch. Mackenzie sat at one end, curled into a ball, Benjamin sat in the other corner of the couch with his feet propped up on the coffee table, and Lucas sat between the two of them with a bowl of popcorn on his lap. The three of them sat there for hours watching 'Shrek', only getting up to make more popcorn, get another drink, or use the bathroom.

Somewhere during Shrek 3, Mackenzie had fallen asleep, because before she knew it she heard Benjamin and Lucas planning on how they were going to wake her up. She lied there pretending to sleep, as she listened to their plans.

"So you go get the ice, and water." She heard Benjamin say.

"Why do we need water and ice?" Lucas questioned.

"Well we'll dump the water over her head, and put the ice down her shirt." Benjamin replied.

"Are you sure that would wake her up?" Lucas questioned.

"I'm positive it's going to wake her up." Benjamin replied.

With her eyes still closed Mackenzie said, "If you come near me with an ice cube, I'll kill the both of you."

"Sure you would, Kenzie." Benjamin laughed.

"Oh I would." Mackenzie replied opening her eyes, and throwing the pillow she had, had behind her at Benjamin's head.

"Ow." Benjamin muttered throwing the pillow back at Mackenzie, who caught it before it hit her.

"Serves you right." Mackenzie stated. "Planning to put an ice cube down my shirt."

"Only way I could think of waking you up." Benjamin replied.

"Uh huh, sure." Mackenzie laughed, looking at the clock. "Holy cow, it's getting late. Benji you should probably head home, gotta get Lucas to bed, before my mom comes home."

"But I have shark DNA like mommy and Benji." Lucas protested.

"But you know mom would like it if you were in your room, when she got home. Plus I need some sleep." Mackenzie replied, standing up and stretching.

"So you're kicking me out, 'cause you wanna sleep?" Benjamin questioned, getting off of the couch.

"Yes I am." Mackenzie grinned. "Lucas can you go change into your pajamas?"

Sighing Lucas said, "Sure."

As soon as Lucas disappeared into his room Mackenzie wrapped her arms around Benjamin's neck and pulled his head down to hers for a kiss. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that." she whispered, as she pulled away.

"And why didn't you do it sooner?" Benjamin questioned.

"Because I guess we're not together yet. We're back to square one, getting bugged about how close we are." Mackenzie replied.

"We're going to have to do something about that." Benjamin mused.

"Yea, I agree with that."Mackenzie smiled, giving Benjamin another kiss. "But you should get going, I'll call you in the morning and we'll get breakfast at Monty Cora."

"You mean lunch." Benjamin corrected her. "Knowing you, you won't be up until twelve or something like that."

"That's true. So how about I call you when I wake up and we'll get something to eat."

"That sounds better." Benjamin replied.

"Good. Now get out of my apartment."

"OK. That hurts."Benjamin muttered.

"Aww, do you want me to kiss it better?"

"Yes."

"And where exactly does it hurt?"

"Right here." Benjamin replied pointing to his lips.

"Well I'll fix that for you." Mackenzie said, pulling Benjamin closer and giving him a kiss. Benjamin deepened the kiss, pulling Mackenzie as close to him as he could. Mackenzie pulled away and smiled up at him. "Gonna miss ya tonight."

"Right back at you." Benjamin replied, as he headed for the door. "Bye Mackenzie."

"Bye Benjamin."

"Bye Lucas!" Benjamin yelled.

"Bye Benjamin!" Lucas yelled back from his room.

"I'll be waiting for your call." Benjamin informed Mackenzie.

"Don't worry I'll call you." Mackenzie said, as Benjamin disappeared down the hallway. Closing the door, Mackenzie sighed, and walked into her brother's room. "So kiddo, we have an hour before mom gets home, what do you wanna do?"

"I dunno." Lucas sighed lying down on his bed, as Mackenzie sat down beside him.

"You're tired, aren't you kiddo?" Mackenzie noted.

"Just a little." Lucas yawned.

"Shark DNA my butt." Mackenzie laughed.

"You're just jealous that you didn't get it."

"Exactly. But if you're tired, you should get some sleep, give mom a heart attack. If you need me I'll be in my room most likely asleep." Mackenzie stated kissing Lucas on the forehead.

"Ok, goodnight Kenzie. I love you."

"Love you too Lucas. Night." Mackenzie replied leaving the room, and heading to her own.

Mackenzie quickly changed into a pair of sweats and a baggy shirt, before lying down on her bed. She stared at the ceiling, and for what seemed like the hundredth time, thought about how much better her life was now. Closing her eyes, she slowly drifted off to sleep, unaware that when she woke up she was no longer going to remember the way the future had once been. She didn't know that once she woke up, she wasn't going to remember her time in the past. All she was going to remember was the way her life had gone, in her changed future.
