Hey guys! Here's Chapter thirteen, enjoy!

The Past that was never forgotten

Micheal and Alex look at each other in silence.

"She's...not here," he replies.

"What do you mean by that?" Alex asks.

Silence.

"Oh..." Alex realizes.

*Flashback starts *

A few days have past since Timothy and Micheal snuck into a forbidden room and discovered the puffles. Although Timothy should've brought this up with the Director, he didn't. Instead, Timothy turns a blind eye towards it and Micheal, who keeps going back to see the puffles.

"Micheal, what is that?" Timothy asks, eyeing the brown paper bag in Micheal's fins.

"Oh hey Alex," Micheal greets. "Don't tell...but it's some of the biscuits from in the cafeteria. It's for the puffles. Don't worry I didn't steal them...exactly."

Timothy faintly smiles.

"You're smiling" Micheal states.

"Yeah because you look silly with that big bag of "nothing suspicious-looking." Timothy states.

Micheal looks at the bag and just nods.

"Do you want to join me?" He invites, "I'm teaching them some new tricks."

Timothy glances around the room and then back at Micheal.

"I've got a meeting to go to, sorry."

Micheal shrugs and walks away.

*Flashback ends*

"How?" Alex asks.

"It's your fault." Micheal stammers getting up from his seat.

"Really? We're going to start this again?" Alex mutters.

Gary the gadget guy is still examining the room with lots of interest.

"Fascinating" he remarks.

He continues to look around, particular at one wall.

"Yeah because this is the final chapter," Micheal informs.

Alex sits up in his seat at these words.

"What do you mean by that?"

*Flashback begins *

"Hey Micheal...what's that?" Timothy pointing to the notebook in Micheals's fins.

"Oh..it's my memory log."

"Huh?"

"Adam told me to write in it every chance I got." Micheal answers, "sort of like...er...a diary."

"Why'd he do that?" Timothy asks.

Micheal shrugs.

"I don't really know."

Micheal flips the pages till he reaches somewhere near the front.

"Today Adam told me the reason why I should write in here. It's because something's not right within TAG. Something almost sinister. Adam didn't tell me what but he looked a little spooked." Micheal left.

"So Adam..."

"He was one of my only friends here until you showed."

Timothy sits there in silence. Micheal had already informed him about what Adam was like. "The days before he disappeared," he had said. "He looked pretty worried. He kept saying how it wasn't right. That he had to warn the others." Timothy looks up at Micheal.

"There's just one thing I don't get," Timothy concludes."I've looked all over the database for Adam's profile and there has never been an Adam."

Micheal shakes his head.

"I know what your thinking...but you don't really believe I could be making him up, do you?"

"I've asked almost everyone at TAG if they knew an Adam, even Sarah doesn't."

"I'm not making him up," Micheal confirms. "I know I'm not."

"Then how come no one else remembers him?" Timothy concludes.

"I don't know...I really don't know."

*Flashback ends *

"You're going to help me rescue Sarah and then leave her alone," Micheal orders.

"I can't." Alex exclaims, "how can you tell me to just leave her."

"Because that's what you did to us years ago." Micheal answers, "besides she doesn't even remember you."

Alex looks at Micheal, confused.

"I don't understand," he states. "What happened to you?"

Silence. Micheal throws Alex an icy stare.

"You began this." Micheal says, "it really is all your fault. Don't you remember..."

"My promise?" Alex interrupts, "of course I do!"

Micheal shakes his head.

"The puffles and that stupid notebook!" Micheal snaps, "that's what made you think. I was so naïve back then, I should've kept my mouth shut and just let it be another passing event."

"Micheal?"

"That's when we figured out that TAG has been erasing our memories with those bracelets every time something doesn't go as planned...and Adam...he was just a mistake that got wiped away."

*Flashback begins*

Timothy rushes into Micheal's room with a shocking revelation.

"Micheal...I...remember everything," he announces.

"What?" Micheal asks.

"I think I've solved the puzzle...sort of speak," Timothy states.

Micheal looks at him confused.

"My name is Alex." Timothy exclaims.

"Uh...yeah, so what? I've already told you that's your name."

"No I remember everything. My name is Alex Timothy Ryder. I have a sister named Rebecca and two puffles. I live on an island called Club Penguin and I am an Elite Penguin Force agent."

"How did you remember that?" Micheal asks.

*Flashback ends *

"How did you remember who you were?" Micheal asks, "it didn't click when I told you."

Alex looks at Micheal and takes a deep breath.

"I pulled an all-nighter that night searching for answers." He answers, "I used my first class tag to get into the database on the computer. I was able to hack into my file and that's how it came back."

"You hacked into your file?" Micheal repeats.

"Yeah."

*Flashback begins *

"Timothy, can I talk to you?" Sarah requests.

"Yeah sure," Timothy complies after another meeting with the Director.

They both stood out in the hall and began to talk.

"I know what you've been up to." She threatens, "you better stop now or you'll regret it."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Timothy answers, quickly.

Sarah looks at Timothy's face, searching for the answers. She sighs.

"One of...err the TAG agents told me that you seem to be...uh...sneaking around places."

"I still don't know what you're trying to get at here." Timothy replies, innocently.

"Alex?" She says.

"What?" Timothy asks.

"Nevermind," Sarah dismisses. "Oh...I'm needed in the tech labs..see you later."

Sarah quickly turns and leaves Timothy in the hallway.

*Flashback ends *

"Sarah got involved because she saw you digging around in places that you shouldn't have been like that database for example. She was curious." Micheal informs, "in less than a week, you discovered TAG's ultimate plan. Operation: Takeover. That was when you decided to contact the EPF."

Alex just listened to Micheal, trying to figure out what he is trying to reveal.

"I know..." Alex interrupts again. "I called the EPF and they came to TAG. Then the EPF destroyed TAG headquarters."

"You're missing the most vital parts." Micheal insists, "that day changed everything...everyone."

Alex looks at Micheal with anguish in his eyes.

"I did everything I could..." Alex answers.

"No," he declares. "You didn't."

So many flashbacks! What's going to happen now? Why does Micheal refuse to let go of the past?How does Micheal plan for Alex to help him bring Sarah back from the real world? What is Mr. PoodleX450's (director of the Tech Galactic Alliance) next step to taking over our world? Hm, it's unbelievable that Sarah and the other TAG agents may very well be in our exact location or school. They are here somewhere in our world. Hm, scary and yet fascinating. Does any of you know a Katie, she could very well be Sarah but don't ask her because she won't tell you that it's really her. Just be careful out there, everyone! There are other TAG agents out there and who knows who to trust! What does the remaining EPF agents have in store to retaking over Club Penguin? And...WHERE'S HERBERT?! Find out next week on December 4th.

RR:

Well...I may have mixed up the reviews a little haha but anyways...

Rosa Blythe: Yes I did see the new EPF handbook. It was very interesting. It looks like Franky could fit the description...the question is would the EPF really make it that easy for us to guess the right penguin. What if...it really is someone else? As for Room219, you guess correctly.

Brusselsprout Fiction: The reason for Timothy not remembering who Rookie is, is because he is at TAG and was currently a TAG agent. His memory was erased, almost completely. It was the only way the Director of TAG could have Alex as a TAG agent. Otherwise, Alex wouldn't have cooperated with TAG in their plans.

The Ender Pickaxe: well now you have to wait again for the next chapter XD
