Sultan Peppershaker: Lol yah I'd say you're right. Ok folks click on the lilac button not the blue button. I repeat lilac button. That is true about the bridge chapters. Never realized it before. Yah cliffies are always fun if you're writing the story. Not so much if you're reading it. I know you like them from reading your stories. :)
CiTyGrL0912: Well you were partially right. I pulled in Pim later on. lol.

zeusfluff: Thanks for being a loyal fan and I hope you like this chapter.
Hermione781: Yup. Victor is in for some weird experiences.
Victor closed the door and started down the stairs after Phil. Loud footsteps came clomping up the stairs and Victor heard Phil say, "Hey Curits! What's up buddy?" Then Phil and Curtis did a funky handshake.
Curtis said, "Who big man behind Phil?"
"Oh this is Victor. He's a friend." Curtis walked over to Victor and started sniffing him.
Victor began trembling with rage till he finally pushed Curtis away and yelled, "Get away from me you primitive, hairy, treacherous, ape-man." Curtis looked at Victor with a hurt expression.
Then he turned to Phil and said in a most pitiful voice, "Phil wrong. Man no friend to Curtis." He then walked slowly past both of them.
When he was sure Curtis couldn't hear them Phil whispered to Victor, "What's you problem? Curtis wouldn't hurt anybody. He was just being friendly."
Victor, still trembling, whispered back, "It's just that when we got back Curtis did something terrible. He…he betrayed us. When I was part of the resistance I had a mission one time to spy on a nearby police camp. I left our resistance camp and ventured into the forest. I had been walking cautiously for nearly an hour and was nearing the camp. That's when I saw Curtis through a small space in the foliage. I was overjoyed, as I hadn't seen any of my family since we were separated. I had to hold myself back from running right out then and there and giving him a big hug. Instead I walked although quicker then I had been. Curtis still hadn't seen me. As I got closer I saw that Curtis was with two other men. And that Curtis was speaking fluent Standlow, which was the one and only language spoken anymore. Keely had invented it. I saw that Curtis was wearing the blue of the police same as the men around him. He was part of the police camp I was supposed to spy on! Well, I did what I completed my mission and returned to camp. I later found out that Curtis had joined willingly. Keely didn't have to threaten him or bribe him. That was the second last time I saw him."
They had reached the end of the stairs. Phil was saddened by what Victor had said. He had always thought that he could rely on Curtis. Phil just hoped there wouldn't be anymore emotional, future, surprises. Unfortunately, Phil wasn't so lucky. He had been just about to ask what happened during the second time Victor saw Curtis when the door swung open.
In walked Pim, looking like she had, had a bad day. Her hair was filled with gum and there were some rips in her clothes. She slammed the door and started walking towards the stairs without looking up. As she started to go up she bumped into Phil.
"The Fashion Zombies gave you a hard day at school." Phil stated sympathetically. Pim just nodded and didn't look up. She then tried to go around Phil and bumped into Victor. Pim looked up then because she knew that Mom and Dad were in the garage and that this figure was too big for Keely. Pim stared at the strange man standing before her. Then she looked from Phil, back to the man, to Phil again, and then her eyes stayed on the man.
Then she asked, "Phil. Who is this stranger and why does he look like you?"
Phil said slowly, "This is Victor. He's a reporter doing a story on our school. As for the resemblance… umm coincidence? Or maybe it's just you."
"I see. What's so important at our school that he has a story to write about? And why is he interviewing you?" Pim looked closer at the man. "And why is he crying?"
"Uh… he's here to write a story on… journalism in schools. And since I'm the cameraman at school. It's only right that he interview me." Phil looked at Victor worryingly. "As for the tears he's not really crying. He just… has something in his eye."
Pim stared suspiciously at both of them before shrugging and saying, "Suits me. I don't believe you but I have more important things to be doing then figuring out your life. Like how to get revenge on Candida and her crew." Victor was openly sobbing now. "And I suggest you rinse your eye out it must be pretty bad." Pim then tried again to get up the stairs but this time she was stopped by Victor's arms. He had reached out and pulled her into a big embrace. Then, realizing what he had done, he quickly dashed out the front door.
Phil and Pim both stood stunned for a moment till Pim said, "That reporter of yours has got some weird problems." She then shivered for a moment before climbing up the stairs and going into her room. Phil ran out after Victor and found him sitting on the front steps.
Phil sat down beside him and then said, "Let me guess. Another event from the future?"
Victor nodded his head. He paused for a moment wondering how to start. "It has to do with the second time I saw Curtis."
