Max Dixon walks along the grass. Around this area, there are many decidious trees growing. The grass is kept watered even in early summer.

Memories surface in his mind.

He looks and sees his identical twin daughters- or at least one of them, and a leaper from the future who looks like his other daughter.

"So you wanted me to see Mom?" he asks.

"I think this is where we need to talk," says Ben Song, who appears to be Ashley Nadine Dixon.

He looks at the grave marker, one of many. He reads the epitath- Stephanie Dixon, Beloved Wife and Mother. She had been born in 1971 and died in 2009.

It had been eight years.

"I haven't been here in a while," he says.

"That's right," says Amber Nicole Dixon. "We haven't been here in years."

"I wonder...what happened," says the twins' father. "When I think about it, with that party last night, and then what happened with Rose...how did we get here? Stephanie..I miss you so much. Hard to believe. I was younger than the girls when I first met you."

"Remember how she used to cook breakfast for us every Sunday?' asks Amber. "Bacon and scrambled eggs and sourdough toast. We needed our dose of protein twice a week."

"How could I forget?" asks Ben. He looks at Max Dixon. "I know we're fourteen, not four. We don't need you looking over shoulder. We can do some things on our own.

"But we still need a dad in our lives."

"We need to work things out."

"I know it will take time," says Amber.

"They have a long road ahead of them," says Addison. "Things can't be fixed overnight, But they will fix it. Amber and Ashley continue modeling and influencing, They even featured their dad in their InstaGram and Facebook posts/ They graduate high school and college. Not only that, their dad remarries and they get two older stepbrothers, and two nieces and a nephew later on. They're not yet married in our time; they still have their lives ahead of them."

"Amber, that stunt you pulled at that party last night," says the twins' father, "you do something like that again, and you'll be in real trouble."

"I know," says Amber. "And I'll look out for Ashley- and you."

They all hug. Unseen to anyone except an observer being projected from the future, a blue glow surrounds Ben, and he quantum leaps out of the Dixon family's lives.
