OK to be clear, right now Shelby is like, 17. Cause, Jess got kicked out for like, 5 years, however they were still friends and stuff. So that's the age everybody is around right now.


Shelby found Cory right away. He was easy to spot, as nobody else in the school wore a camera mask like he did.

"Hey! Cory!"

Shelby said, running up to the blond haired boy. He seemed to be radiating purple for some reason that Shelby couldn't quite describe.

"Oh! Hey Shelby. Hey, does something about today seem... off to you?"

He asked. Shelby nodded.

"Uh-huh. This notebook appeared on my dresser, and I'm completely pooped for some reason."

She said. Cory looked shocked to see the notebook she had in her hands.

"Wait... I thought... Hold up."

He said, dropping his backpack and grabbing a similar journal out of it, however the heart on the front was purple instead of red.

"This can't be a coincidence."

Shelby said, as the two started to walk again. Cory shrugged.

"Maybe, maybe not. Best we don't worry about it. It'd be safer if we didn't. For all we know, it could be the future."

He said, as the two walked into their high school. From there, the two had to split up.

"See ya Cory!"

Shelby said, waving to Cory, who waved back, then ran down the hallway. Shelby chuckled a bit, before heading off.


Time skip, cause reasons.


"Alright. Get in groups or whatnot. If you got a group for the trip, come up here, and I'll mark you off."

The principal said during the assembly during third period. Shelby elbowed Cory, who elbowed back. The principal then shut up to let the children mingle, or whatever he was supposed to do. He hated his job. 

"We should be in a group Cory."

Shelby said. Cory nodded.

"However, we need a third person. You know, the couples rule."

Cory said. The couples rule was where you couldn't have a group of two if it was two people of opposite genders. It was probably for the best, anyway. So Shelby went over to a friend of hers.

"Hey Jess! Wanna be in our group?"

The black haired girl jumped before turning around.

"O-Oh! I'd be happy too Shelby! Who else is in it?"

She asked. Shelby pointed to Cory, who was minding his own business, talking to a taller boy with brown hair, and a purple amulet. Jess smirked.

"Ahh, the two loverbirds in a class trip group. I'm going to make sure you two get together."

She said, flipping her hair eagerly. Shelby sighed.

"Fair point. Hey Cory! Jess is going to be in our group!"

Shelby yelled over to Cory, who was still talking.

"Ok. Cool. Can you two go sign us up?"

He asked. Shelby sighed.

"You need to be there when we sign up Cory."

Jess said. Cory facemasked. 

"Alright. See ya Adam. I bet your going with Barney and Red right?"

Cory asked. Adam nodded, before Cory was dragged away by Jess.


"So you three? Cory Crater, Shelby Grace, and Jessica... I can never pronounce your last name... "

"It's Fenikkusu."

Jess said to the principal. The principal sighed.

"Whatever it is, you three are together? Alright. You three are written down. Trip is on Wednesday, but you guys should know this. It's tomorrow."

He said, before shooing them off to sign up another group.
