Was it love? Or was it the idea of being in love?

What's next?

Astride and Phoebe finally left their little shelter , only to find it disappearing after the left. Great. Now all they must do is find a shelter. But where on earth were they? This doesn't look like the Liverpool they knew back in 2015. It , naturally , has changed. Big time.

" Hmm , where in the world are we? Astride asked no one in particular bemused.

" I have no idea." Phoebe muttered.

" Let's search for clues , I mean it can't have changed that much. Could it?" Astride asked dreading the worst-case scenario.

Nothing was all they found. Not one single clue to help guide their way.

" We are lost. Oh dear lord , what now?" Phoebe asked.

" Hello there." A male's voice spoke from the shadows of the ally they were in.

" Who the bloody hell is that?" Astride asked.

The man chuckled.

" I can tell you're lost. Well , Liverpool can be a big place in which you might potentially get lost in."

Astride and Phoebe panicked. Who was that? They had no clue as to where they were , nor to whom they were speaking to.

Astride gathered all the courage and confidence she could muster and asked the question.

" I am sorry , but who are you , exactly?"

" Oh , right , sorry. I am Robert, Robert Greene. And you are?"

Astride didn't know this guy , from anywhere. Must be a local.

Robert looked confused due to the silence, so Astride quickly answered his question.

" I am Astride Watson , and , this , i-is my -my ...sister! Yes , my sister , Phoebe Watson."

" Pleasure to meet you. You're lost aren't you?"

" Well , yeah we are." Astride said trying to avoid Phoebe's curious glaze.

" Well , love , you are at Liverpool , obviously , Carver Street , the year's 1964."

So they truly were in the 60's!

" Oh , thank you , Mr.Greene."

"Robert."

" Robert." Astride smiled.

" Well , if you're lost , I ought to help , right?" He grinned.

" If it's not too much hard work." Phoebe joined in.

" No , no , not at all. Well , is there anyone I can take you to? Parents?"

Astride and Phoebe exchanged glances and they both hung their heads low.

" Umm , w-we , don't have parents..." Astride lied. What other option did she have?

" That makes the two of us." He stated." You should come live with me! I mean , no one else does , and it's big enough for the three of us!"

Astride looked over to Phoebe , who looked just as unsure as her.

" Umm , we really appreciate the offer , but I hope you wouldn't mind if we had a little side talk before we give our final answer."

" Sure , go ahead."

"So?"

" So so? I don't know. We only knew this for about 5 minutes."

"Yeah , but what other option do we have , really. I mean , we could just live with him temporarily , and when we have gained enough money , we'll pay him of as a token and move into our own place."

" Well , you do make valid points. " Astride thought for a moment. " Alright."

" Robert , thanks for the offer , and we do accept it. And when we have saved enough money we'll pay you off."

" You don't have to."

" We want to. But first , we need to find a job , and do some...things."

" Alright , well my house is around the corner." He said while pointing towards a building.

" Okay , we'll see you there! Thanks again!"

" No problem , love."

" Well , that was easy. Come on , there's a vintage shop over there. They will probably have reasonable prices there , we can't afford much."

The girls shopped for a few pieces of garbs , and they must admit , their fashion taste is pretty awesome in the 60's.

And then came the hardest part , finding a job.

" I spotted a cafe earlier. Maybe it will be wise if we ask if they're hiring people." Astride theorized.

It was a small cafe , but it will do. Besides , the exuberance there was lovely. They played rock music on and on and served for cool customers. Well , they were cool in the girls' opinion. And lucky for them , they were low on staff members.

Their boss , Rosy , told them that they will be starting work tomorrow at 8:00 A.M . It was a bit early , but it was necessary to do.

Robert's instructions weren't that clear. They had to ask loads of people for direction and then ask again for the number of his apartment.

Phoebe hesitantly knocked. Robert answered right away , and he was kinda handsome.

" Hello." Astride greeted. Phoebe was always short of words around guys , regardless the fact that this was a total stranger from an era that wasn't even hers.

" Hi! Come on in." Robert ushered them inside. The weather was cold outside , so it was good to warm their bones beside the fire.

" So , I have on guest room , and it has two beds , so you can share the closet and all. And the kitchen and bathroom are pretty obvious. I leave for work at 7 and come back at 4. There are no rules, except that you might want to help with the cleaning. And that's about it."

" Thanks Robert , it was awfully kind of you to invite into your house like that! And our work starts at 8 and our shift ends at 8. You can visit us in the cafe , if you like."

" Yeah sure! You might want to have dinner , you must be starving."

And they were .

Surprisingly , Phoebe spoke this time.

" Oh yes! Would you like me to help with preparing the dinner?"

" Yes , sure."

" Lovely. Astride , sister , please prepare the table."

" Yes ma'am." Astride laughed at her best friend's sudden dominance.

And maybe , just maybe, life would turn out as great as they had imagined it to be here.
