"You're nuts!" cried Lucas trying to pushed past her.
"I don't think so" cried Lilly shoving back against the wall.
"There is no way you could be from the future" he screamed.
"Yet I am" said Lilly calmly "now could you please stop yelling before the whole school hears you" she finished.
"Okay" said Lucas in his normal tone "there is no way you could be from the future."
"How many times do I have to say it" said Lilly getting annoyed "I'm from the future" she said very slowly like she was talking to a very stupid person.
"Let me start from the beginning" she said leaning back against the closed door. "My name is Lilly Pearson, I'm named after my great grandmother, as you've probably figured out Vaughn Pearson is or um will be my father. I was born May 25th of your senior year of college, which was also your graduation day. The janitor who's probably standing outside the door and listing sent me back here to make sure my parents end up together. They need to be together for things to happen the way they should in the next couple of years" she said taking a breath " and oh yeah I also am dating your future son and best friends with Marshall and Corrine's daughter." she concluded.
"I don't know why, but I believe you" he mumbled. "Josie's your mother isn't she?" asked Lucas who looked devastated.
"Yes she is" answered Lilly sympathetically "figures" muttered Lucas starring at the ground.
"Don't worry about it, you will meet a girl who you'll fall head over heels in love with" she answered smiling.
"That's why you seemed so familiar!" said Lucas suddenly "you look a lot like Josie and you especially have her - " "attitude" interrupted Lilly "yeah a get theat a lot believe me, mostly from principal Z" she said.
"That's how you knew he was going to be principal" said Lucas who was now putting the pieces into place.
"Duh" answered Lilly.
"Does he teach science in the future?" asked Lucas.
"Nope you do Professor Randall" she said smiling.
"Wow" answered Lucas looking a little shocked. "If you want we can get out of the closet now" she said opening the door to let them out.
"Look the janitor what a surprise" said Lilly sarcastically as they left the closet.
"Good job" said the janitor as he "moped" the floor. "Inform the rest and you can return" he said before moving on.
"So he still talks in cryptic in the future, huh" said Lucas.
"Yeah" said Lilly sighing before turning back to Lucas "I need you to do me a favor Lucas" said Lilly turning to him.
"Sure" answered Lucas "I need you to get the rest of the science club in the science room, don't tell them anything I have told you, I need to do it myself for things work the way they're supposed to, okay?" she asked.
"Sure" he answered "I can have them there in about five minutes" he said before leaving.
"Okay Lilly" she said to herself "you're almost done pretty soon you can go home to your family" she finished before going into the science room.
"And that's my whole story" finished Lilly, who just spent an hour telling the rest of the science club the truth.
"No way" said Josie who looked shocked "you have to be working for Victor or someone" she said.
"Why would own Grandfather hire me to go back in time to hurt my own parents, aunts and uncles, and Principal" she finished.
"It was the janitor, who surprisingly hasn't aged in almost twenty two years" she said shaking her head "it just weird" she finished.
"You know" said Corrine who had finally found her voice "I just have this gut feeling that she's telling the truth" she finished "so do I" stated Marshall and Z at the same time "because it is the truth" said Lilly.
"I just want to do what I was sent here to do and go home to my family your future self's" finished Lilly tears stinging the back of her eyes.
"Okay" said Josie "hold on" she said suddenly "that story you told me a couple of days ago about your parents, that was about me and Vaughn" she said looking shocked.
"Yeah" answered Lilly smiling.
"That story was part of the reason I decided to give our relationship another chance" she said to Vaughn, who was smiling.
"Kind of the point, mom" she said with a smile.
"I still have a question" said Lucas "you told me that your parents, uh Josie and Vaughn had to be together for what would come in the next couple of years, what did you mean?"
Lilly sighed "I can't tell you" she finally said "it would screw up the time line" she finished.
"More than telling us you're our daughter?" asked Josie skeptically.
"I'm not screwing up I'm helping; in time you'll see this as the events I can't mention unfold."
"Trust her" said a voice from the doorway; they all turned to see the janitor.
"You can return now" he said to Lilly. Lilly let out a sigh of relief; "in janitor talk that means I can go home now" she said standing up from the stool she was sitting on.
"You came through the wormhole, right" said Z.
"Obviously" answered Lilly.
"So this means that there's still a wormhole in the future?" asked Z.
"Uh yes and no" answered Lilly slowly "again I can't tell you, you're just going to have to let things unfold" said Lilly, everyone stood in uncomfortable silence for a minute.
"Well it's been fun" said Lilly "but it's time for me to go home" she said looking at them, "bye" she said as she left for Z's office.
"Wait!" called Josie running after her "what's wrong?" asked Lilly.
"Nothing, it's just so confusing" "welcome to my life" muttered Lilly, "and I have so many questions" continued Josie.
"I know" said Lilly "but I can't tell you anymore, you have to figure them out and answer them yourself, I know that's a really sucky answer, but that's way it has to be" said Lilly.
"Okay" said Josie "well I see you and you to dad soon" she said nodding over to Vaughn who was standing in the door way.
She stood right over the worm hole and closed her eyes as she felt the floor sucking her in. When she felt herself land she opened her eyes, she glanced up at the calendar and noticed the date "March 17th" she said to herself "about two weeks after I left" she slowly made her way to the door "please let everything be the way it's supposed to" she muttered to herself before opening the door.
