A week came and went. Lilly was becoming friends with the science club, she was slowing gaining their trust she knew it was only a matter of time before the truth came out. It was now Friday and school was done for the day and Lilly was going back to her room, when she bumped into the janitor.

"Now it's really late" he said looking her in the eyes "if you wait to much later, everything will not turn out the way it's meant to be" he said in a grave tone.

"Gee thanks for the news flash Captain Obvious" she snapped trying to walk past him.

"You have so much of your mother's attitude in you" he said with a slight grin.

At the mention of her mother stomach dropped, her mother plus her whole family must be worried sick not knowing what had happened to her.

"I'll work harder okay" she said turning back towards the janitor "it's really hard I've almost got there full trust, now I just have to help to set things in motion, right?" she asked, but the janitor didn't answer he just walked past. "What doesn't he ever say what he wants you to do" growled Lilly.

Lilly spent the rest of the weekend trying to 'set things in motion' but she had no luck. She purposely avoided the janitor; his stares made her guilt feel worse. By the end of Lilly's second week she was a nervous wreck she managed to make to the science club meeting. Half way through the meeting they where interrupted by Victor Pearson who wanted to speak with Professor Z.

"You think he's in some kind of trouble?" asked Marshall as they left.

"No" said Lilly "he just telling him that Principal Durst is retiring at the end of the year and is offering him the position of Principal" said Lilly matter of fact.

Everyone turned giving her suspicious looks. She could have kicked herself for letting that slip she wasn't supposed to know that yet "I uh over heard Victor and Durst talking yesterday" she lied hopping they believe her.

"Why didn't you tell us, that's great news!" said Corrine happily "I thought Z should be the one to tell you" said Lilly, relieved that they bought it.

"Guess what!" cried Z happily as he burst back into the room "you're going to be principal next year!" said Marshall.

"How did you know?" asked Z looking confused.

"I overheard Ms. Durst and Victor talking and accidentally spilled the beans" admitted Lilly sheepishly.

"Oh well" said Josie "you're going to be principal that's means I can get away with a lot more next year!" she said happily

"I don't think so" said Z.

Lilly let a out a silent sigh of relief they had all bought her explanation, but she couldn't help that Lucas was giving her curious glances she really hoped he wouldn't get in her way.

Later that day Lilly was walking through the downstairs hallway when she turned a corner and almost collided into the janitor "go out front, set it in motion" he said in a mono tone before walking away.

"Hey Lilly" said a voice from behind her she turned to see Lucas.

"Hi" she said praying he didn't hear what the janitor said.

"So what's with you and the janitor?" he asked suspiciously.

"I have no idea" she said with a shrug "the guys strange I try to avoid him whenever possible" she said walking past him.

"You know if you are working for Victor or someone to try to hurt us I will find out and stop you" he said sincerely.

"Lucas I have no idea what you're talking about" whimpered Lilly who now had tears in her eyes "I'm just trying to start over at a new school, and this crazy janitor keeps telling me to 'set it in motion' whatever it is!" she was now practically screaming " and know I'm starting to think you're stalking me" she said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I'm sorry" said Lucas "it just that Vaughn's dad not a nice person and I wouldn't put it past him to hire somebody our age to spy on us" he said.

"Well he didn't hire me" said Lilly "so can you just give me the benefit or doubt, deal" she asked sticking out her hand "deal" said Lucas shaking it.

"I think I'll go for walk outside, want to come?" asked Lilly.

"No thanks I still have to start my history report" he said.

"Good luck it's due Monday" said Lilly "yeah thanks for reminding me" he said with a small laugh.

"Okay bye" said Lilly walking out front, she noticed Josie was sitting beside a tree.

"Hey" said Lilly sitting down beside her "oh hi" said Josie looking up from the ground.

"You looked like someone ran over your puppy" said Lilly nudging her.

"No Vaughn just asked me out" she said starring off into space again.

"That's a problem because..." said Lilly who already knew the answer.

"Well" said Josie "we tried dating before and he really hurt me and I did forgive him and now where good friends, I don't know if I I'm willing to jeopardize are friendship again" she finished.

"You know my parents where the same way" said Lilly "but they decided that to trying dating again, they got married there third year of college, had me on graduation day, my mom's water broke halfway through the ceremony refused to go to the ER until she graduated. Then they had my twin brothers who are almost nine now, and last month when my mom went to the doctors for the flu we found out she was two months pregnant" finished Lilly smiling.

"Wow" said Josie "yeah I just hope it's a girl two brothers are enough" said Lilly rolling her eyes "so I'll leave you alone with your thoughts now" said Lilly standing up and brushing herself off.

"Hey Lilly" called Josie "yeah" said Lilly turning around "thanks" "anytime" said Lilly going back into the school.

"It's now in motion" said the janitor said to himself as he watched Lilly come in.

"Hey Lilly" called Josie, it was three days after their talk.

"Hi Josie, what's going on" asked Lilly.

"I just want to say thanks for your talk to the other day, me and Vaughn did go on a date and it was a lot of fun" she said smiling.

"That's great" said Lilly "glad I could help" she said smiling.

"Well I promised Vaughn I'd help him study for the Math test, so I'll see you later" said Josie leaving "yeah bye" called Lilly after her as walked inside.

"You set it in motion" said the janitor from behind her "you know you've really got to stop sneaking up on me, it's kind of creepy" she said turning to face him, he just narrowed his eyes.

"Now that "its" in motion, can I go home to my family?" she asked hopefully.

"It's in motion, it's not finished" answered the janitor before he walked away.

"So I'm guessing that's a not yet" she muttered to herself before turning back around and coming face to face with Lucas.

"I knew it" said Lucas bitterly "I knew you where up to no good, I bet you are working for Victor, your secrets out know everyone will know" he spat turning to leave.

"Oh no you don't" she cried shoving him into the nearest closet, before she jumped in herself and shut the door to stop him from leaving. She knew it was time for the truth to come out.

"Okay you want to know the truth Uncle Lucas" said Lilly smugly.

"What?" cried Lucas.

"You're my Uncle, well not biologically, but I've been calling you that since I could talk" she said muttering to herself "anyway" she said continuing "My name's Lilly Pearson, and I won't be born for another six and a half years" she finished to a very shocked Lucas.
