"Kira, your hand is glowing!" Amelie shouted. Surprised, she looked at her hand and ran off. Amelie followed her. "Why did you run away?"  "I don't think stupid comments from people here will help us."

"Yeah, probably not.  But why is your hand glowing?  Has this ever happened to you?" "No, this is the first time. Just like time travel. Something's not right here!"  Kira replied.

Slowly and carefully the two of them stepped out of the shadows of the dark barn and looked around.  Suddenly the glow stopped and Kira hugged her heart.  She felt something, but she couldn't determine what it was.

Suddenly a man came towards the two of them.  "You shouldn't be standing here like that!  Come with me and what are you wearing please?  It would be best if we first vacuumed you clothes from this century," said the gentleman.

"Excuse me, who are you?"  You shouldn't trust strangers and you certainly shouldn't go with people!" complained Amelie. "What year are you from? We are in a time where something like this happens less often. By the way, I'm Paul and I hope you do  familiar. I need my help."

Kira nodded and replied: “Okay.  We trust you.  I'm Kira and this is Amelie.  We are from 2013. Why are we in the past and how do they want to help us?"

"We shouldn't discuss this here, I'll take you to a safe place.  Please follow me!" Kira followed him, but Amelie didn't move an inch. Kira looked at her pleadingly as Amelie shook her head and whispered: "I don't have a good feeling about it."

"I can understand that, but we have no other choice, or do you want to live here in the past forever?!" Kira whispered back. Paul intervened: "I can hear you. You don't need to be afraid.

Amelie hesitantly agreed and the two followed Paul.  On the way, the two of them kept asking Paul where and what he knew about time travel.  But he always gave the same answer: "Your questions will be answered soon, I promise!"

After a short while they found themselves in front of a brick wall.  Amelie complained: “What’s the point now?  We can hardly walk through a wall!" Paul smiled and said: "Yes, if you know the code word and that's where I come in! 2094 is the year in the future!

The wall shifted with a crunch and the three of them were able to enter.  When Kira and Amelie had gone through, Paul looked around and followed them.  The gray and dreary surroundings suddenly changed into a bright, colorful and modern world.  "We are in the time travelers' hiding place, here time stands still and no one can grow older.  The
Time travel is top secret and you have to promise not to tell anyone else!"

Kira and Amelie promised and continued to look around.  The place was fascinating, if you looked to the right you could see the future and to the left was the past.  At the front and back was the present and in the middle was a large seating area where different people sat.  Some wore modern clothing and some wore ancient clothing.  One woman even had a dress designed with a tablet so she could control her entire body at the touch of a button.

But there was no portal anywhere to be seen.  How are they supposed to get back?  And why does Paul know about the two of them, he could recognize them.
