Chapter Thirty Six-Alternate No More

The girls head snapped up. She hadn't noticed anyone in the room. Either that, or she wasn't expecting anyone to be in there.

"Who are you?" She snapped, ignoring their question.

"Who are you?" Ann replied.

"Well," The girl began, "You already seem to know me. I just don't know you."

Ann and David cast each other worried glances. They turned back to Kaylie, to see her glaring at them. What was going on here?

"I'm Ann." Ann said slowly. "And this is my brother David."

"Ann and David." Kaylie repeated slowly. "You're the twins, aren't you? My dad used to talk about you all the time."

"What do you mean. 'he used to'?" Ann questioned hurriedly. "Nothing's wrong with Uncle Jase, is there?"

"Where'd you come from?" Kaylie asked, once again ignoring their question. "We'd know if anyone new came down here."

"Are we still in the Aquabase?" David asked.

Kaylie nodded.

"Then we came from here." He concluded. "The real question is what happened here? Five minutes ago this place was spotless, and the lighting actually worked."

Kaylie laughed. It was a rather frightening sound. The laughter of someone who had never really laughed out of happiness before.

"This place hasn't looked like that in over thirteen years. Not since-"

"Scarlette." Ann finished. "What's today's date Kaylie?"

She looked at the twins suspiciously. "Today is November thirteenth."

"What year?"

"2020." Kaylie answered. "Why?"

But Ann and David were ignoring her now. They turned to each other.

"You know what this means don't you?" Ann asked.

"We were supposed to go back again." David said softly.

"What are you guys talking about?" Kaylie asked.

"Can we talk to your dad?" Ann asked, turning back to Kaylie.

"You can try." Kaylie said, before turning and leading the twins out of the room.

Ann and David followed her closely, as she avoided piles of rubble that seemed to be debris from an attack on the aquabase. Kaylie stopped suddenly in front of a door. She turned to face the twins.

"I should warn you. Whatever it is you're expecting to get out of this talk with my dad, you won't get. Dad's a lot different than he was thirteen years ago." Kaylie told them, before opening the door and walking inside.

"Dad?" She called out softly.

They all heard a rustling sound from the corner of the room. Kaylie walked over there and knelt down.

"Dad, some people are here to see you."

Ann and David slowly advanced forward towards the corner. But what they saw there made both of them stop dead in their tracks. Kaylie was right. Their Uncle Jase was a lot different. In fact, they weren't entirely sure this was their Uncle Jase.

The man sitting huddled in the corner was thin and gray-haired. He was shivering, and wrapped in a blanket. The man looked as if all of the life had drained from his eyes. It was very different from the man the twins remembered, even from a few weeks ago.

"Um...hi." Ann said hesitantly.

Jason's head shifted slowly to the twins. He wrinkled his forehead in concentration, as if he was trying to remember who they were. It wouldn't surprise them if he didn't know who they were. If they were where they thought they were, Jason hadn't seen either of them in over thirteen years. And people change in that amount of time.

"Who are you?" He asked slowly. He seemed to be having trouble finding the right words to say.

"Ann and David Oliver." David answered. "Do you remember us Uncle Jase?"

"No." Jason said. "She said you were dead. She said she killed you."

"We aren't dead Uncle Jase." Ann said softly. "She lied."

"She...lied." Jason repeated slowly. "Why?"

"To hurt you." Ann said. "It's what she's good at."

"It does hurt." Jason said.

"Did she tell you Billy and Trini were dead as well?" David asked.

Jason nodded.

"She lied about that too. They've been living with us in our house for over thirteen years."

Jason's face lit up at this statement. "Does that mean-"

"No dad." Kaylie said suddenly.

"What?" Ann and David asked at the same time.

"He was going to ask about mom." Kaylie answered slowly.

"What about her?" Ann asked.

"If she was alive still." Kaylie answered simply. "But she isn't. We buried her body."

"What happened?" David asked.

"Scarlette came back once. It was about nine years ago. We got news about an explosion where the old comman center used to be. Mom was curious about it, and went to investigate. Everyone told her not go, especially dad. But she insisted. When she didn't come back, dad went out and found her body. It was all Scarlette's fault." Kaylie told them. "Dad hasn't been the same since."

"Nine years ago." Ann repeated slowly. "That means that Thomas was never born."

"Who is Thomas?" Jason asked suddenly.

Ann bit her lip, and answered hesitantly. "He is your son."

"That's impossible." Kaylie said. "I never had a brother."

"We know." David said. "This is going to sound very strange, but it's all true. Maybe you should sit down."

Kayli obligingly sat down next to Jason. Ann and David sat down on the floor across from them.

"I guess we should start with thirteen years ago." Ann began. "Mom and Kira died, and dad disappeared. Billy and Trini took care of me and David. The two of them raised us. As a consequence, they never had any kids of their own. But Billy was determined to change things. He built a time machine. He wanted to send us back in time to save, well, everyone. And we managed to get back there."

"Then why is everything the same?" Kaylie interrupted.

"We don't know." David answered. "After we saved mom, dad, and Kira, we were supposed to disappear or something. But we actually went back to the future. But not as far back as when we were from."

"When did you go back to?" Kaylie wanted to know.

"A few months ago." Ann answered. "We were supposed to go back to Eltar after that, but we came back to Earth. Scarlette found where everyone was hiding, and took all of our parents. We had the idea to take everyone back to our house, because the old dino thunder command center was in the basement. And then Kim and Hayley came back somehow."

"Wasn't Kim your mom?" Kaylie interrupted. "And who's Hayley?"

"Yeah." David said slowly. "But it's really complicated. You probably know this, but before we were born, mom was in a coma. During that time, part of her somehow got transported to the future. It's really weird. And Hayley used to help the Dino Thunder team. She's really smart. Apparently she married Rocky. They have a son named Ernie."

"Not here." Kaylie said softly. "Rocky lives here alright, he just doesn't have wife, or any kids. Thirteen years ago, everyone came here. Except for Billy and Trini."

"So much is different." Ann muttered. "What went wrong?"

"What went wrong?" Jason repeated. "Hayley and Kimmie came back."

"Hayley and Kim came back." David said. "They told us that Scarlette had a spell on everyone else. They were looking for us. We came to the Aquabase, where it would be safe. And it was safe. But somehow Ann and I ended up back here, in this universe. And we found you, Kaylie."

Everyone just sat there witout speaking for a moment. It was Ann who finally broke the silence.

"Who else is here?" She asked quietly.

"Well, me and dad. Then Uncle Rocky obviously. And Uncle Adam, Aunt Tanya, Uncle Zack and Aunt Aisha. They're probably the only ones you'd know. But there's also Teresa, Adam and Tanya's daughter; and Mimi, Andrea, and Eric, Zack and Aisha's kids." Kaylie told them.

"So, no Ted, Thomas, Ernie, Alex, or the triplets." Ann said softly.

"Who?" Kaylie asked.

"Ted was Teresa's adopted older brother. His parents obviously couldn't adopt him in this time, because they were living here. Thomas was your little brother. Ernie was Rocky and Hayley's son. Alex was Conner and Kira's son. And the triplet's were our younger brothers; Jason, Willie, and Zachary." Daivd said. "So much is different here. I never realized how much could be different if mom, dad, and Kira were still here."

"We need to get everything back to the way you saw it." Jason said quietly. "Things weren't supposed to turn out this way if you saw them differently."

"You're right." Ann said.

"How do we do that?" Kaylie asked.

"First we go to Reefside." Ann said. "Then we find everyone who has Ninjetti powers and can help. Including Ted."
