Jennifer materalized in the Golden Gate Park. She sat atop a bench and rested her elbows on her knees, placing her head in her hands. She wasnt even sure why she was here. It was a spell that had gotten messed up once again by Jason and Jessica's constant arguing.
She really wanted to tell everyone everything, but she knew better. Her parents had raised her better. And how weird was that, seeing them now? This young? Cousin Conner was her age! That alone totally blew her mind. In all the things she'd seen in her life so far, time travel was still the most confusing.

Troy orbed after her and sat down next to her.
"Hey, sweetie. So this is your favorite place to go when you're upset too, huh?"

"Hey, sweetie. So this is your favorite place to go when you're upset too, huh?"
"Huh?" she looked up and sat back once he sat next to her.
"Yeah...once, you and mom got in a fight about something, I cant remember what. And you left and I followed you here. And ever since, this is where I've come to think about...things,"

"I see."
He looked down and then back over at Jennifer.
"Sweetie, I know we taught you about time travelling, but I'm pretty sure we had to have told you that things happen for a reason, too. So maybe the thing that made you worry when Conner mentioned Bryan's name is what you're meant to come back and change. Maybe it wasn't meant to happen so the Powers That Be are giving it a second chance."
He didn't need to know what Jennifer was thinking with his telepathy. Regardless that she hadn't been born yet, she was still his daughter.

She looked up at him.
"Daddy, I think you and I both know that's not always the case. I wasnt brought here on purpose. Jason and Jessica were fighting---again---and were throwing stuff at each other...and when I say stuff, I mean potions and stuff. There was a big BOOM and suddenly we were here,"

"Well, maybe it still is why you were brought here too, honey."
He let out a soft sigh and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to tell us what's bothering you or would you rather let it happen anyway?"

"It's not that I dont WANT to say anything. It's just...one of those future things that I KNOW I cant tell. Because what's about to happen HAS to happen so that what SHOULD happen WILL happen...ya know?"

"Strangely enough...I do. Now if it's something bad, don't listen to Conner if he's upset at you, okay? He's been through a lot recently so it'll probably just come out."

"Actually...I already know about Conner's temper..." she said, revealing a large burn on her side.

He looked at her.
"But...Conner's temper may be bad but not that bad. Are you telling me that in the future he becomes the Conner he's afraid of becoming?"

"But...Conner's temper may be bad but not that bad. Are you telling me that in the future he becomes the Conner he's afraid of becoming?"
She stared at the ground a moment, biting her bottom lip. Then she looked up at her dad with soulful eyes.
"I'm sorry daddy. I love you and all, and believe me, I WANT to tell you and mom everything. But I just...cant. You guys are different in the future. And you'd never forgive me for revealing the future to the past. I really am truly sorry.
But Jason and Jessica are already going to have my butt. I've said way too much already. None of us are even supposed to be here. Something went wrong, and I dont think it was just Jason and Jessica's fighting," she explained.

Holly reluctantly stepped onto the path, biting her bottom lip.
"Um...maybe she's not supposed to tell us Troy. It's not right for us to push her. Whatever she's meant to say will happen,"

Conner walked up, having seen Jennifer's burn and heard what was said. He had tears in his eyes. He sat down next to her on her other side and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry."
She was the proof. The proof that he would in fact become what he always feared of becoming, what Aaron said he would become.

"I'm so sorry."
She leaned forward and hugged him.
"It's okay Conner. I'm not too worried. It can still be prevented. Maybe the reason I was sent here. Maybe it was to save you?"

He shook his head as he still held her in the hug.
"No, it's not okay. Aaron said I was too violent and he was right. I promise you...it's NOT going to happen."
