Tyler raised an eyebrow and grinned at Josie. "Hello Trent. Bet you didn't expect to see me here."
"Tyler? What on earth are you doing here? I thought you went off to an apprenticeship or something?" Josie asked, her confusion mounting at the sight of someone who actually knew her for who she was, without questioning her, or mistaking her for Emma.
He nodded and smirked in reply. "I did. This is my apprenticeship, Josie," he paused, gesturing to the room around them. "I always wanted to be a writer, and now I am."
"Using my life?" She asked, her eyes narrowing. She knew Tyler wasn't exactly the nicest person, and that he preferred to take the easy way out, but this was an all new low for him. "You couldn't come up with something more original?"
He shrugged. "Hey, it came in handy. And besides, it's original here. I was never one to be an observer Josie. This, on the other hand, really suits me."
"So… How did you get here?" Josie asked in confusion, wondering what an observer was.
"I'm from the future Josie. I went to Blake Holsey High to observe the goings on. We've mastered the art of time travel in the future. I already knew what was going to happen at the school. We learnt about it in history, at school of course, but I wanted to find out first hand how everything happened. But it got boring, so I came here instead. I've started to make a name for myself a screenwriter, and I really enjoy it."
"Hold on a minute," Jeff said. "You two know each other?"
Josie nodded, and scrunched her nose up as she looked at Tyler. "We went to school together. I thought he was just a normal student, albeit an annoying one, but normal none-the-less. I guess not."
She turned back to Tyler. "So are you able to get me home then? Because you obviously didn't travel by the wormhole, I saw you walk out the front door and leave. And if you've mastered the art of time travel, as you say, then you must have a way to travel sub-dimensionally."
"Are you sure you really want to go home? It can get really interesting here. And with the remarkable resemblances between you two," he gestured towards Emma, "you'd be a hit on the big screen."
"Thanks, but no thanks," Josie replied sarcastically. "I just want to go home Tyler. Unlike you, I'm happy there, I like it there."
He shrugged again. "Your choice."
She turned to the others. "I guess this is it." She looked around them, feeling a little uncomfortable about just leaving them behind. "Thanks for all your help guys."
"And for all of yours, Josie," Emma answered. "I think now we'll all be able to portray you guys accurately."
Josie smiled. After all her help she hoped that they would be able to portray everything correctly, especially the reactions of everyone she knew, to events that she knew had happened.
She quickly hugged everyone, giving each one an individual goodbye, before turning back to Tyler. "Okay," she said. "I'm ready. Let's go home."
Tyler pushed the sleeves of his shirt up, to reveal a watch. He hit a couple buttons on it, and grabbed Josie tightly by the arm. She winced at the force of his of his fingers around her wrist.
Then her stomach dropped, and the room started to spin before her eyes. The faces of everyone blurred before her. She felt slightly dizzy, and the floor began to fall away from beneath her feet. She closed her eyes tightly, as a dull roaring noise hit her ears.
And then there was floor beneath her feet again, and the dizziness faded away with the rushing noise. She opened her eyes, and sighed in relief at the sight of Professor Z's office.

Well... I bet none of you were expecting it to be Tyler now were you:D I told you all you'd be surprised, but I enjoyed watching you all try to guess at who it could be:D
