"I'll say so..."

"Aidan, are you sure you're not on crack? Did someone spike your drink, perhaps?"

"No! No one did anything!" Aidan hissed, hitting his brother lightly over the head.

"He's right, Brant, it's us." Jula spoke in Aidan's defense.

"But, how can this be?"

Jae shrugged.

"It just is.."

Suddenly, Jae's cell phone began vibrating in her pocket and she answered it. It was her mother, and she wanted the girls to come home to help with house chores.

"Jula, we have to go. Mom wants us home. And she doesn't sound too happy either."

Jula nodded as Brant handed her the history book, and they turned to leave.

"It was nice meeting you two." said Jae, turning to face the brothers one last time.

"Wait." said Aidan hastily, placing a hand lightly on her arm. "Please, at least let me give you my cell number; it's just in case you need any help with the book, and besides, I wouldn't mind seeing you two again. After all, our families are connected, and we might have a tour to arrange."

Jae nodded and flipped open her cell, typing Aidan's name into her contacts list.

"Alright, give me the number.."

Quickly, Aidan gave her his number and the girls left the library, making their way hastily home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several hours later, when Jae and Jula had finished their chores and had received a lecture from their mother about leaving the house and going to town without permission, they retired to their rooms.

Settling down on top of the crimson comforter of her full-size pillowtop bed, Jae grabbed the history book, which her sister had given back to her as soon as they had gotten home, and began reading.

"Hang on.."

Jae paused. Something was wrong. It was as if there was a gap in time when she flipped to a page on Gen. Charles O'Hara.

"It says that the general had a son, but the information about him gets all confusing..."

Jae's eyes widened in horror.

"Oh my god... I have to go back..."

A/N: Obscenely short, I know. Sorry, but that's all for now.. Thanks.
