After the second month, some people were let out of the hospital, including Danny, Juliana, and Ana. Ana still had a few burns, but the doctor said it would heal completely during the next few weeks. When Danny came out, Ana rushed to him, took his hand and rushed to Juliana. "Juliana, this is Danny. Danny, this is Juliana, another friend," Ana introduced.


Juliana stuck out her hand, "Pleased to meet you Danny, Ana talks about you all the time," Juliana said. "Juliana!" Ana said, blushing. "It's okay," then he lent forward and gave Ana a kiss on the cheek. There was an awkward silence "Um, carrying on," Ana said quickly.


"I still have to come in to visit my Dad plus I've got nowhere to stay so," Ana said. "You can live with me," Juliana offered."Thanks Juliana," Ana said, and they all left they're separate ways.



The next morning, Anastasia Delta woke up in a strange bed in a strange bedroom. A girl was sleeping on the floor with a sleeping bag. She still looked cold though. Ana got up and looked at the girl more closely. It was Juliana. Ana took the one centimetre thick blanket that she had, and gently laid it down.


Ana opened the light blue door, and crept out. There was a clinking of plates behind a wooden fencing outside the door. Ana looked over the fencing and saw a few flights of tile steps and beneath the ground was tiles too. Ana felt something hit her shoulder. She shrieked in horror and turned around in her karate stance.


"Wow, it's just me so calm down," said half-asleep Juliana. "Geez, attack me much," Ana said sarcastically. Juliana chuckled, "Time to go downstairs and have brekkie," Juliana said with a yawn.


Juliana grabbed Ana's hand and, basically, dragged her down the hard cold steps. By the time they had reached the kitchen table and sat down, Anastasia's feet were numb with the cold. "Breakfast girls?" A woman called in a warm sing-song voice. "Yes please Mum," Juliana called back.


A five foot ten woman literally danced through the door. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a giant smile on her face. "Hello dear, I'm Mrs. Holage," Mrs. Holage sang. "You are..." She asked politely. "Oh sorry. I'm Anastasia Delta," Ana said. "Toast darlings?" Mrs. Holage asked politely. "Yes please," they both said. "Your Mum is really nice and awesome," Ana whispered to Juliana. "I know right? My Dad is a scientist and Mum a dental nurse," Juliana whispered back.


"A scientist? What it he studying at the moment?" Ana asked, interested. "Time travel," Juliana replied. "He's trying to make a time machine, for science reasons of course."

"Oh, you mean time travel?" Ana asked, then immediately wished she hadn't asked that. 'Duh, she just said that dummy." Ana thought angrily. Thankfully the toast popped up and they had a delicious meal.


"Where does your dad work?" Ana asked, starting to get really interested in the subject. "Over there," Juliana nodded in the direction of a metal door across from where they were sitting in the kitchen.


"Why is it there? I mean you know, somewhere that no one is around," Ana wandered. "He usually comes out and only for food, so he needs to be here," she answered. "Oh," Ana said still not getting it. "Can we go see what he's doing?" Ana asked reluctantly. "I guess so," Juliana said hesitantly. They left they're dirty plates on the bench and headed over to the metal door.


Before they were even four feet away, they heard a delightful yell from the inside that made both of the girls almost jump out of their skins, "I've done it! I've done it! I have completed the time travel device! Yes!" The metal door swung open to reveal a man that was a little taller then Mrs. Holage.


A sheet of white fog drifted out of the door, giving Ana the chills but Juliana seemed to be used to it. He ran out and gave Mrs. Holage, who had come to see what all the fuss was about, a big kiss.


"I've done it Selena I finished my project after all these years," He danced a jig. Then looked at the two girls. "Oh, hello," he said surprised to see Ana. Juliana introduced her to her dad. "Want to come see the finished model?" John asked gleefully. "Sure Dad, why not?" Juliana said, almost forcing it out of her mouth. John Holage took Juliana's hand, who took Ana's hand, and they left in a chain.


They emerged through the fog and saw a big, blue, circular object. It looked like it would hold maybe seven people. "It still needs testing, and I shall do that, then...." Professor Holage stopped and a thoughtful look crossed his oval face. "Oh, I never thought what I was doing it for,"

"Wow Dad, I would like to maybe try it too sometime," Juliana sounded as this line was said over and over again. It probably was.


After ten minutes, Juliana's dad kicked them out of the lab. 'Knock' 'knock'. Someone was knocking on the front door. Juliana went to look. It was Danny. She opened the door to let him in.


As he walked past Ana, they exchanged a look. Yes, I know what you're thinking and yes that look. There was also the smell of cologne that filled the room. They went into the living room, took a seat and chatted away.


After about twenty minutes, a few dodgy looking people started to dig on Juliana's front porch. "Mum! Random people are digging on our porch!" Juliana called. Selena rushed into the living room. "Slyucas!" Mrs. Holage muttered furiously. She reached on top of the top cupboard and picked up a gun.
