Note: Thanks CII for telling me how I can upload my chapters!

Also Note: This chapter might not make any sense yet, but you'll get it as a I add new chapters.

Rose was shot out of the vortex, and landed into an alleyway. She walked out more to see that at least she was back in New York City. She stood there for awhile, and breathed in that fresh NYC smell; it's been awhile since she'd last been in the city. She turned back into the alley to see if she could find an old newspaper. Luckily in one trash bin, there was on. She grabbed it, and looked at the top.

Rose let out a sigh; she arrived on the wrong day. Her original plan was to tell Jake where the Aztec skull was before the Huntsclan knew about it. So he would get the skull, and won't be spotted talking with her and the Huntsman wouldn't know Jake's identity. However she'd arrive 3 days earlier instead, and today was the day she was going to tell him about it. Rose stopped for a second, to rethink over her plan. She thought of one plan before her previous one, but she wasn't sure how successful it was. But she was wasting time, and needed to think of something fast. With her delay, she decided maybe Trixie and Spud could help out, by keeping Jake busy this day. With Jake being occupied, she won't get the chance to tell him about the skull. Yeah, sure the Huntsman would have it, but Jake still had the other two he'd recovered, which still kept the Huntsman from using them. Even though this revised plan didn't include Jake, Rose thought that she'd rather have him not know about it. It was more important to her to either get the plan done without him, than to tell him and it goes all wrong.

She threw down the newspaper, and ran into the city. She had to be quick, because she was still wearing her Huntsclan uniform. She wasn't sure how people would react if they saw someone strolling down the sidewalk in a ninja outfit and carrying a 3ft sword.

Rose knew she had to find a clock. Just some sort of place, to see what time she landed into here. She ran down the street finding some place she could see the time. She walked up more to see the only place she could think of, school. A few blocks down she was right in front of Millard Fillmore Middle School, her old school. She walked inside to see the halls empty. She looked up at the clock; it was 11:53pm, she had to rush. Rose knew that any moment now, she would be telling Jake about the last skull. She walked down the halls more to see if she could find the two people she needed for her plan to work.

Meanwhile, Jake Long was leaving his last period. It was lunch time now, and he headed down to the cafeteria with his two best friends Trixie and Spud. They walked into the lunchroom, and noticed many banners hanging everywhere reminding them of the upcoming Homecoming dance.

Rose walked into this scene as she stared out the cafeteria door. She looked over, to see Jake and his friends talking all together. Then Jake went off, and Trixie and Spud went over and signed for the homecoming committee. She sneaked in, and grabbed them both, and shoved them into a nearby janitor's closet. The two panicked as they found themselves being dragged on the floor by her. She covered their mouths, as they were screaming in terror.

Rose tried to calm them down, "SHHHH!!!! Stop screaming!" she whispered to them.

They both realized it was Rose, and stopped yelling for help. She removed her hands from their mouths, and they were confused.

"SHHH!!" she yelled at him. "I'm from the future, I need your help!"

"You seriously want us to believe, you're from the future!" Trixie raised an eyebrow.

Rose pointed to herself in the cafeteria. "How else would there be two of me! Now, I need your guys help… something terrible is going to happen this homecoming-"

Spud interrupted, "Yeah I heard you two were nominated for Queen and King, didn't think it was such a big deal though…"

"NOO," she yelled at Spud. She looked up to see herself and Jake finish picking up papers off the floor she just dropped. "There's no time to explain, I need you two both to stay by Jake, and make sure I don't tell him about the last remaining Aztec Skull."

"Why?" Trixie said, as she was confused by all these news.

"It's a long story. But you have to trust me on this. If I tell him, on Homecoming I will lose my memory of Jake" she was done explaining.

It took awhile for them both to process all this. After a while, they raised their heads so she knew they understood.

"So, do you want me to go get Jake?" Trixie asked as she headed out the door.

Rose slams the door right out of her grip, "NOO!" she screamed. Jake and Trixie looked at her awkwardly, "Jake doesn't need to know, because this whole week I spend time with him. And if all of a sudden Jake starts acting weird, I might find out. This is my last hope and I don't want any screw-ups!"

"Okay, okay, we won't tell him." Trixie said to her as she and Spud headed out of the closet

"Thank you guys. Now remember, don't tell anyone! Meet me at the Park at sunset, to make sure the plan works." She said.

They both nodded, and walked back into the lunchroom. Rose stayed in the closet. She had to wait until everyone was gone. She prayed to herself that this new plan would work. It was still sketchy plan, but it was the best she could think up in a short notice. Rose ran down the streets of New York, and headed for Central Park. There, he headed up into a tree, and waited for Trixie and Spud to show.
