THEY ENTERED THE SHOP, scanning around for disguises. Mia walked over to something and picked it out. Her hands were shaking and cold as the warmth of the item she held warmed her hand up. She walked over to Louise and showed it to her.

"Perfect Mia!" Louise complimented her. "Go pick out some shoes." Louise added. "And nothing that you own!"

Mia was just happy that she could wear the thing she picked out. It was a black shirt with a skull, the other was blue jeans. She was happily picking out shoes when she saw James looking at something. He was in full disguise attire already. Having brought everything when he got the chance to.

Mia decided to look back. And saw a man with a black mask on. He wore dark clothes as if he was a thief. Mia quickly picked out shoes and snuck to the female changing room to change into them. They fit and she silently walked out, walked to the front and payed for them.

She scurried back to get changed and walked out again, this time freely not scurrying around. Her new shoes were comfortable as she felt herself flying around in them. Mia looked up to James, frozen in place and staring at the man. "Cousin James, who is that?" Mia asked.

"I don't know.. it must be the thing Kathleen was talking about." James realised as his eyes followed the man's every move.

"Cousin Kitty? What could she know about.. any of this?" Mia asked in disbelief. "Quite a lot actually." James noted. He looked to Mia.

"Where's Louise?" He asked. "I don't know, I was scurrying around paying for all of this!" Mia said. "Oh right." James realised and felt himself blush a little. "Well... oh well." He sighed.

Louise approached them and practically made their jaws drop to the ground. Louise was not wearing her lady like clothes but instead was now rocking a white shirt with a black skirt which she rolled up, white socks and white trainers. Neither of them was expecting this from Louise. Her hair was flowing out and she looked annoyed at it. "I'm going to cut this hair." She decided as she put it to the side.

"Jeez Louise." James gasped. "You had a major makeover. I thought I would never catch you dead wearing something like that!" James added. Louise smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Well anything can happen, can't it? I'm probably going to cut this hair one day, it is quite annoying." Louise frowned.

"We should probably get home to safety." James said. "We need fake names to refer to ourselves.. I'm.. um. Greg." James said.

"Greg! Seriously?" Louise asked. "No one asked for your opinion." James snapped at her.

"Alright, your Greg. And I am.. Jane! How I love the name Jane!" Louise then squealed.

"I'm Grace." Mia said, looking awkwardly at the squealing 14 year old. "Alright we get it, Jane." James said.

"Oh shut up." Louise stopped her squealing to replace it with a frown. "Now we should get home." James said. He began walking off. Mia followed and Louise hadn't noticed due to her anger.

"Alright, let's go-" she realised that neither her brother nor her cousin was there. She was frantic as she practically bolted down the escalator. She found Mia and James and darted to them.

"Louise? Did you actually just run here?" Mia asked in pure disbelief as her wheezing cousin nodded. "Jeez Louise." James said.

"Can you.. stop saying that!" Louise had trouble to speak due to her wheezing. Her heart was practically ripping itself out of her chest. "Take deep breaths in and out." James recommended.

She did so and it worked. "I do that after running for a while." James added on the end of his sentence. Louise nodded as she lead the way to the train station.

There was kids and teenagers alike, on their phones and looking at videos. The next train was here soon and they was happy. The train came and they practically froze when they saw what came off.

At first it was normal, there was women with their babies in their strollers and carefully walking off. There was happy kids on a school trip. There was teachers trying to go after them. There was a dazzle of Girl Guides, there was teenagers coming home from school.

Then put came the revolutionaries. It was a hurdle of people wearing masks and dark clothing. One wearing a school uniform actually! It was not a very normal sight to see. They boarded the train with fear as they sat down together and waited. James placed his bag on the chair next to him so it was just them three.

"We have to get home quickly. Before anything bad happens." Louise said as she protectfully took Mia's hand. "Jeez Louise." James grinned.

"Just shut up Greg!" Louise yelled as their long train ride back to London began.

They saw many places, like sheep and trees. And soon basically everyone but James had fell asleep.

They were close to London, which was a life saver because he couldn't stand hearing Louise snore any longer. "JANE!" James yelled and only Mia snapped awake.

"Sorry Mia, we are just nearly here." James whispered. Mia smiled at her cousin in understanding. Still, Louise had not budged and was still snoring.

"Woah. She snores a lot." Mia noticed. "JANE!" James yelled louder and Louise didn't move.

In the end, James stood up and threw her to the floor. The 14 year old groaned as she wrestled herself up. "Why didn't any of you say my name?" Louise asked.

"James did. He yelled it. Twice." Mia said. "Oh." Louise said. "Well that's embarrassing!" Louise added as she flustered.

"It indeed is. Anyways we are nearly back in London." James said, his eyes on the scenery outside. "What time is it- 17?" She gasped.

"Yeah, you were sleeping for a bit. It's nearly 18. We have just like 20 minutes after that left." James said.

The cousins spent that time playing games, like I spy and telling gossip. When finally the train was approaching and they all stood up. Taking their belongings and waiting as they hopped out of the train.

London, despite the time, was still buzziling. It was quite crowded around everywhere but the cousins got some food, Louise got herself Starbucks, and reluctantly got James some. They then took a bus closer to the Cambridge home.

When they walked in, they ended up seeing the most bizarre scene possible.

"Oh shit."
