Hi! So here's another chappy for ya!
MiiMyselfandTime Just thought I'd make sure ;) It was bizarre... yes go sleep... sleep...
kariina55 ah thanks :)
Crutchly I've actually only ever seen the trailer to that film so any simularities are totaly accidental. They weren't even going to be so important to the fic but I needed them in it a bit more. I'll have to go watch it at some point, is it good?
Just wanted to say thank you to all the people who have favorited this story, put it onto alert or are just reading it. I can't thank you personally but I love you all!
I own this and Blackadder... oh wait no I don't... damn.
Enjoy
Jason loved Paris. The last time he'd been it was revolution time and someone was trying to stop Marie Antoine s execution. He'd almost lost his head! He had now "opened" a cafe. By opened he'd found an empty building and made it look like a cafe. He had then contacted his department and they had sent him a load of trainees who were going to be pretending to be customers and employees. He just hoped it would work on the Mitchell girl. Luckily it did as before long she came in. After she got her drink she walked over.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" She asked in French.
"No, it's all yours. I hadn't noticed how busy it had got in here." Jason replied with a smile.
"I almost didn't come in but for some reason I felt like I had to. I'm Charlotte by the way." She said with a grin.
"Jason. I hate to be rude but you're not French are you?"
"No I'm American."
"Finally someone who speaks my language. I'm Irish." Jason said switching to English.
"I've always wanted to go there! Do you miss it?" She asked excitedly.
"I'm only here for a while. Do you miss America?"
"Not really but I'm moving back there at the end of the week. My family said I could stay here but I wanted to be with them. My brother had an accident a few years ago, he's alright now but it's damaged him. He never had any friends... I'm it... oh I'm sorry, you don't want to hear this." Charlotte said, realising that she was blabbing to a stranger. What she didn't realise was that there a special ingredient in her drink that was making her talk easily.
"It's fine. I'm sure you and your brother are very close because of it. I was never close to my brother... he wasn't very nice let's say." Jason replied.
"I don't have that problem. He's lovely, a little pessimistic but lovely. He just has no confidence in himself." Charlotte said with a sad grin.
"Mine was the opposite. My brother, Logan, was a total jerk to everyone... is something wrong?" Jason asked the last part due to her confused look.
"No... sorry, it's just that my brother sometimes refers to himself by that name... oh I've got to go. Thanks for listening." Charlotte said before leaving. Jason lent back in his seat. He'd learnt some very useful things. Logan's name wasn't Logan and they were moving back to America. He was about to phone Callie when something occurred to him. He phoned Stacie instead.
"Stace its Jason. I think we have a problem." He said quickly before explaining the problem.
James was the first one to arrive in detention. The teacher, Mr Kingfisher, was already there and gestured for him to sit. Before long Carlos came into the room. James didn't recognise him. Carlos however did recognise James. Who didn't? All he knew about James was that he was an egotistic jerk. Slowly Carlos sunk into the chair.
"Ok so we have James Diamond and Carlos Garcia, I presume." Mr Kingfisher said. Carlos looked down, ouch that hurt. James quickly glanced over at Carlos, that hadn't seemed very nice.
"How many more people have detention sir?" James asked.
"Just one I think." The teacher replied. At that moment Kendall came through the door. James and Carlos sunk into their chairs. They knew who he was, who didn't?
"Kendall sit." The teacher said in a bored tone. He was the only teacher who wasn't scared of him. Well he was Dustin's Dad after all. Kendall slumped into an empty chair. He was watching the other two as he was sitting behind them. They were obviously scared of him. He recognised one of them as being James Diamond but he didn't recognise the other one. For a while there was silence but then the weirdest thing happen. Mr Kingfisher stood up to say something and suddenly froze. The three boys stared at him for a moment but he had completely frozen. Eventually Kendall stood up and walked over to him.
"Sir?" Kendall asked but there was no reaction.
"It won't work." Callie said from the door.
"You look different." Kendall commented, the other two were in shock that she had entered.
"Yes."
"Why are you here? You could get caught?" Carlos asked.
"For what sneaking into detention? Anyway I need to talk to you three." Callie said as she went and sat on the desk.
"What about him?" James asked.
"Oh don't worry, he's just frozen. His time has been frozen." Callie explained.
"His time has been frozen?" James asked.
"Nothing you need to know about. Question for you three, do you like each other?" She asked.
"I don't even know them!" James said as he stood up. Kendall was now leaning against the wall with a look of bemusement whilst Carlos remained sitting.
"Are you sure. Look at each other, really look. Is there any recollection?" She asked. The three boys exchanges looks. There was nothing. It was as if they were staring at total strangers.
"Ok, now what?" Kendall asked.
"Ok this is going to make me sound weird but something's gone wrong, very wrong. You three are meant to be best friends and, for reasons I'm not going to explain, your history has been changed."
"The three of us?" Carlos asked, he wasn't sounding convinced.
"Well you and another boy... though he seems to have vanished."
"Right so the three of us were friends, and also with a boy who doesn't seem to exist, but someone changed history? Ok I think you need to see a doctor." James said. The other two nodded.
"Look I know it sounds odd but I'm telling you the truth."
"Ok then why would anyone want to change our past?" Kendall asked.
"Well... I can't tell you." Callie replied nervously, this was not going well.
"Why?"
"Spoilers."
"Ok so let's try this, can you tell us the name of this other guy?" Kendall asked, he was generally intrigued.
"Logan Mitchell." Again no reaction, although something passed through Carlos's eyes. Callie instantly jumped on it.
"Carlos! You know that name don't you?" Callie said as she ran over to the desk.
"No... it's just the surname..." Carlos said whilst looking at his desk.
"Why?"
"Look I can't help you. I think you have the wrong person." Carlos said in a rare flash of anger.
"Ok, ok. What about you two?" Callie asked the other two. James shook his head whilst Kendall shrugged. "Alright, well I'll be off then."
"So that's it then?" James asked. Callie smiled.
"This is only the beginning... bye!" She said with a wave as she walked out the door. James and Kendall moved back to their seats, very confused. After a few seconds Mr Kingfisher came around and started talking again.
Callie walked into her flat. Her TV was flashing so she turned it on. Jason, Stacie and Danny's faces appeared.
"Callie! Finally, have you got anything?" Danny said with a grin.
"Well I asked them if they recognised each other and nothing. I then said Logan's name, Carlos seemed to recognise it but only the surname.
"Ok... maybe we need all four of them together. Good news about that, Logan is returning to America so we'll know roughly where he is." Stacie said with a smile.
"That's good then." Callie said with a grin.
"Not exactly... I have a question for you Callie."
"Ok, shoot."
"Day before yesterday did you phone Jason?" Stacie asked.
"What?" Callie asked.
"The transcript of our conversation has me asking you if you had anything about Marnie and then you saying that you didn't know why she did it, but you didn't know about Marnie." Jason explained.
"No... I didn't phone you. I was too busy looking for James..." Callie said, now very confused.
"Shit. That means Marnie is on to us. You two need to jump forward a year. We can't risk it." Danny said whilst running his hand through his hair.
"What if things are worse in a years time?" Callie asked.
"We're just going to have to risk it." Stacie said.
The passengers were all walking off the plane, exhausted. Somewhere in the middle of it came Charlotte and Logan.
"So this is America!" Logan said with a grin.
"Yup, good to be back. You going to tell the 'rents about the name thing?" Charlotte asked.
"All they'll do is link it to you know what. Come on let's go find a cab." Logan replied before walked off. Neither had noticed the woman in black watching them.
Ok so the weird thing at the end is that I realised I'd made a mistake with Callie knowing about Marnie or not. So I'm fixing it. Oh look I found Logie... sort of...
See y'all next time and please leave a message after the beep... beep!
