I opened my eyes and suddenly I was back in the room marked Tomlin. I felt Jake next to me.

"Jake?"

"Yeah?"

"We're home," I said.

"I know," he said grinning.

"Who are you two?" asked Tinker Tomlin.

"We uh.."

"No need to mess around with that old clunker. It doesn't work anyway," sassed Tinker.

Jake and I looked at each other laughed.

We got home okay. The car was still sitting in the parking lot. I checked the time and it read Eleven Forty-Five.

"Jake, we've got to get this home on time. Any chance you could put the peddle to the metal?"

"For you? Anything."

I smiled, "Thank you."

Jake did as promised. He went a little bit faster then we were supposed to but who cares? It was only a one night thing anyway.

He rushed and got me home. We pulled the car silently back into the driveway.

As soon as I got to the door I turned around and faced Jake.

"Thanks for tonight," I said.

"It was no problem. To tell you the truth, it was actually kind of fun."

"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yep tomorrow. Bright and early."

I turned towards the door but just as soon as I went to open the door something came over me. I rushed up to Jake and kissed him.

I kissed him, like I hadn't kissed anyone before. Okay I hadn't kissed anyone before but still.

"Whoa.." I heard him say.

"Thanks again," I exhaled and then I ran all the way into the house.

Just as I was about to go upstairs. Mom and Dad stood across from the couch, "Um what were you doing young lady?" asked Dad.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"I'll take your word for it." Just then I saw noticed Dad had his arm around Mom. I could see every bit the love I saw the night they kissed. It hadn't faded and it wasn't going to go away. They were destined, and I knew in my heart that there is such a thing as true love.

At that moment I remembered, "Oh no! My locket!"

"Oh it was on the doorstep. You're father found it on his way home. He put it on your desk." But that doesn't make sense, I had it when I was in the past. "Did I ever tell you how I found that locket?" I shook my head. "Well it was the night of the turnaround dance. Your father and I had just had our first kiss when I saw this strange girl running away and she seemed to have dropped it. I think the girl had something to do with your father and I getting together. The locket said Lily and that's how you were named Lily." She laughed.

I was only half-shocked because I knew after tonight, that anything was possible."

I rushed up the stairs. Went into my room aka mom's room. I went to the desk and opened the locket. At last I saw the family portrait. My heart panged and suddenly all that I had discovered poured into me.

Perhaps one day, I'll be able to look at someone the way my mom looks at my dad. If only.

The End
