Lafayette's POV

"Why are you so calm about digging up a body?" Hercules asked me. 

"Not the first time I've done it mon amour." 

"WHAT!" 

"Keep your voice down, putain d'imbécile." 

"I don't know what that means."

"Never mind, keep digging." We dig up the bodies and put them in body bags. Then we cover the graves back up. The entire time Hercules was flipping out. We get to John's house. Half of the house was black due to the previous fire a month ago. You could still live there. Until after tonight. We lay the bodies in a bedroom on a bed because honestly, Where else would John and Alex be together? We burned the bodies. The fire was starting to spread but we waiting about five minutes before we placed a lit candle on the floor near a curtain to hopefully show that it was what caused the fire. We then lit up the house and got the fuck out of there. We waited a couple of minutes before we called the fire department. Just as they got there the house came crashing down. And queue Hercules and I's great acting skills.

"Holy shit no! Our friends were in there!" Hercules says almost crying. 

"They could still be alive right?" I say. 

"Son, I'm going, to be honest, probably not." Herc and I start "crying." They put out the flames and look around to see if anyone was alive.

"I'm sorry but your friends are gone." One of the firefighters says to us. Herc broke down crying. I just looked at them. We went back to my house and call John.

"It worked." 

"We're dead?" 

"You're dead." 

"Great, now to start phase two." 

"Does it involve us?" 

"Yes, you have to go to our funeral."

"Is that it?"

"Yes." 

"Okay. Is this conversation done? We have to go talk funeral plans with John's father." 

"Yeah we're good, I'll call you later." Hercules and I head out to the diner where we were meeting John's father to talk about the "funeral."

John's POV

Alex finishes the call and hangs up the phone. 

"We need jobs, right now," Alex says to me.

"Why?" 

"We need to stay here for at least another month. We can't just go back the day after our funerals. Plus we need money to get stuff to change our selves. We're going to dye our hair." 

"What colour?" 

"You, blonde. Me, pink," 

"Why does your hair get to be pink?" 

"Because I'm going to be your daughter." 

"What the fuck?" 

"the plan is simple, We'll live on the street, Its only October so it's not that cold, We'll get jobs and get enough money to buy hair dye and female clothes. We also need money for the bus to get ourselves back home. We'll go back home posing as a mother-daughter duo. You'll enrol me at school to make it less suspicious. We'll pretend we have a house somewhere but instead... We'll figure that part out later, This gives enough time to make people think we're truly dead. Also to get some money to do all of this. Got it." why am I in this mess again? 

"I guess so. what happens when we get back home." 

"Phase three. That part we need Laf and Herc. So I'll explain it later." 

"Jeez, how many plans are in this?" 

"If it all works out, we shouldn't need phase four." 

"Okay." Do I want to know what phase four is? Probably not.

"John." 

"Yes?" 

"I love you." 

"I love you too Alex." Somehow, even though we're in an insane situation, I feel comfortable and happy. Does that make me crazy?

Alex's POV

In the morning John and I set out to look for jobs. We see a sign in the window of a coffee shop that says help wanted. We go in and basically beg them to give us the job, Somehow, they agreed. We end up spending two months in the town. The owners were really nice and let us live there. They also let us take some food every now and then. After the two months, we make about $600. We get hair dye and dresses and skirts. We figured it was the best way to look feminine. we also buy bras and makeup. We set aside about $50 for the buses and we used the rest of the money to get a real meal. I order a burger and fries and John orders chicken strips and fries. It was great eating something other than doughnuts and cookies. 

"so this, is kind of like our first date huh?" John said to me.

"Yeah, I guess so." 

"This has been a weird last couple of months." 

"Definitely." We both laugh. We finish our meals and go home. After having to take seven different buses, we finally get home. 

"I guess we're living on the street?" John says to me.

"I'm not sure yet, call Laf." He does. 

"Hey, Laf." He says. I couldn't hear what Laf was saying.

"You know it bud. Are your parents home?" 

"Good. can we crash at your place?" 

"Alex has a plan." 

"Okay thanks, we'll be there in twenty minutes." we head down to Lafayette's house. 

"Jo... can I help you, ladies?"Hercules says as he opens the door. Right, we have makeup on and shit. 

"Our disguises can't be that good," John says

"John?" 

"Yes. Can we come in?" He lets us in.

"So, how have you guys been?" 

"Shit. How were our funerals?" John was tired. 

"Sad." 

"Perfect." 

"Okay, so what is your big ole plan with this one Alex?" 

"Tomorrow, John, or well now my mother, Jessica, will enrol me at your school. My name will be Rebecca. I'm going to tell the Schuyler sisters who I am because they like me and have a big house that would be easy to hide me and John in. We then are going to gather all of our friends and meet somewhere private. John and I will reveal that we're not dead. then all of you are going to help us free hundreds of children that are being tested on." 

"Wait, what was that last part again?" Laf said.

"remember the story I told you about me being locked up and tested on. well, there were hundreds of children and we're going to free them." 

"And you think our friends are going to agree with that?" 

"We've been dead for two months. I think that they'll be so happy to be with us again that they will. Also, there's one more part. We need Jefferson and his crew." 

"No way."

"the more the better. I'm sure they'll help us. 

"Fine. this is crazy." 

"My whole life is crazy Laf." 

"We should get some sleep. we have school in the morning. Oh and John, you should know that Angelica's back."

"She is?!" John sounded super happy.

"Yeah." 

"Great!" We all get some sleep. these next couple of days were going to be insane.
