Chapter 1:
Sheridan and Luis
“This has been fun Luis, but I can’t wait to get
home” Sheridan said. “I miss Alex and Hayley.” “Me too honey, but I did enjoy this little bit of time
away from them” Luis said. “Don’t get me wrong. I love being alone with you. It’s just...” “I know. You’re a mother and you miss your children. I miss them too.” He squeezed her hand and leaned in to give her a kiss. Ethan and Theresa “What are you doing?” Ethan asked Theresa. She had picked up her phone and was dialing a number. “I’m calling home and checking on Zacq and Miquela” she said. “You just called before we left the airport. Don’t worry, they’re fine, and we’ll see them soon.” “I just miss them so much.”
“I know you do. I do too, but we’ll be home soon.”
He kissed her on the check and pulled her closer to
him.
Chad and Whitney
“I’m glad we had this time alone” said Chad. “I
love Dakota to death, but I miss this time with you.”
“Me too, but I can’t wait to get home to see him. He
was so excited when I talked to him on the phone”
Whitney said. “I know. I can’t wait to get home and see him either.” “He’s going to be so excited to see what we brought him home.”
“I know, and he’s going to be happy to see his Mom again.” “And his Dad” Whitney said as she kissed him.
Kay and Miguel
“I can’t believe my baby sister graduated from
college” said Kay. “It seems like just yesterday,
we were teenagers fighting like sisters in the house.” “I know. It seems like yesterday when I would come over and the two of you would be arguing. I’m glad you’re over that now.”
“Me too.” “Now, we’re both grown up, and married, and have a beautiful baby boy” said Miguel.
“I know, and I can’t wait to get home to him. I
miss him so much.”
“Me too, and we’re almost there.” He grabbed her
hand and squeezed it.
Sam and Grace
“I can’t believe that my baby just graduated from
college. It seems like just yesterday when she was
born. I feel so old” Grace said. “I know what you mean. Our little girl isn’t so little anymore” said Sam. “You, my dear still look as beautiful as you did the day I first met you.” “Oh Sam, you’re so sweet. I love you so much, and you don’t look bad yourself.”
“I love you too Grace” he said as he leaned in to
kiss her.
Back to everyone else
Suddenly the pilot came on.
“I have some very bad news for you. Something has
gone wrong with the fuel tank, and it leaking fast. We’re going down.” The plane started falling fast. Everyone was screaming and clinging to their loved ones. Soon, they crashed into the land below.

Chapter 2:
Sheridan Crane part 1: Sheridan- age 3
“Okay Sheridan. We can go to the playground, but only
for a little while” said Susan Crane. “Yay!!! Thank you Mommy” said a very excited Sheridan
Crane. When they got there, Sheridan went straight for the sandbox. He father wouldn’t approve, and she knew it, but it looked like fun. Susan tried to stop her, but it was too late. The smile on Sheridan’s face said
that she was having fun, so Susan allowed her to stay
for a while. "Ewwwwwww!!!!! Look. There’s a girl in the sandbox” a boy a couple years older than Sheridan yelled to his friends. “Let’s get out of here. I don’t want her cooties.”
All of them left. All except one that is. He knew
there were no cooties, and he thought the girl was
cute. Well, as cute as a five year old boy could
imagine a three-year-old girl to be. He felt somehow
connected to her. Sheridan started to cry. She knew everyone left because of her, but she didn’t think she did anything wrong. Everything was always her fault, at least that’s what her father and Julian always said.
The boy saw her crying and moved towards her. He felt
awful about and couldn’t believe the other boys had
been so mean. Sheridan looked up, and saw the boy standing next to where she was sitting. She knew he had been in the sandbox when she got there. She got scared. She thought he was going to make fun of her or hurt her. She started crying even harder.
The boy saw her crying even more and got angry. “How
could they have been so mean? She’s just little and
scared. She could never hurt anyone” he thought.
“Don’t cry” he said. “They’re just big bullies. I
don’t think you have cooties. I think you’re nice and
you’re cute” he said. “I’ll protect you. If they
come back, I’ll let them have it.” She looked up at him and stopped crying. Everyone was mean to her. Everyone except her Mom, and now, this boy. She smiled at him and he smiled back. They kept
playing in the sand, and he helped her built different
things.
Susan walked over to get Sheridan. It was time to go.
If Alistair found out that Sheridan was around the
“locals”, he’d throw a fit. “Come on honey. It’s
time to go home.” She couldn’t believe her eyes when she got closer to the sandbox. There was Sheridan and another little boy, playing together. He was telling her something and she was just laughing away. It looked so cute. She got out her camera and took a picture. The boy had his arm around her shoulder, showing her something. Susan had never seen her daughter so happy.
After a few moments, she looked at her watch. They
really had to leave. “All right honey, it’s time to
go.” Sheridan started to cry. She didn’t want to
leave. She wanted to stay and play with the boy. She
loved him. “It’s okay” the boy said. He was sad too. “We’ll see each other again. I promise.” Somehow, he knew that was true. He just didn’t know when, or where. Sheridan was still sad, but she trusted the boy. She had a feeling he was right. She stood up and kissed the boy on the cheek. She walked over to Susan and turned around and waved goodbye. He waved back.
As they walked away, Susan asked “Did you have a fun,
Sheridan? Do you like your new friend?” “Mommy, I love him and I love you. I’m going to marry
him.” They boy heard all of this. “Sheridan, I’m going to marry you too. We’ll be Sheridan and Luis
Lopez-Fitzgerald.”

Chapter 3: Luis Part 1
Luis age 3
"Pilar, I'm so glad that you and Luis could make it"
said Ivy. "I know that Martin's out of town."
"We're happy to be here, aren't we Luis?" Pilar said.
Luis nodded.
"Here comes someone. I'll talk to you later" Ivy said
as she rushed of to greet another guest.
"Hello Pilar. Why don't you and your son come join
us?" Susan Crane asked. Pilar and Luis headed off in
her direction.
"Luis, don you want to go play with the other kids"
Pilar asked. Luis nodded. "Okay, you can go, but
don't go too far away."
"Okay Mama" Luis said. He left to play with the
others.
They ran around, chasing each other, laughing and
yelling the whole time. During this time though, some
one else made their way over. If these kids were
having fun, she was going to have some fun too.
She made her way over to the boys slowly. She was
only one year old, so it took her awhile. She made it
to one boy and tugged on his shirt.
"You can't play with us. You're a little girl. Go
away" he said as he pushed her away.
That was what happened when she went up to any of
them. She started to cry. Her tears blurred her
visions and she ran into some one.
"Don't cry. My name's Luis. I'll play with you" Luis
said. She was cute and he liked her. His parents had
always told him to be nice to others and to help them.
He was going to do that.
She smiled up at him and grabbed his hand. They went
away from the others.
He let go of her hand, and ran off slowly. She chased
him. They went on doing this for the majority of the
time.
If she fell, and started to cry, he would comfort her.
He felt it was his duty. He didn't know why, but he
felt that he would always be the one to protect her.
He felt connected to her. It was a very strong
connection.
"Come on Luis. It's time to go" Pilar yelled.
"No Mama. Not yet. I want to stay here and play" he
said.
Pilar saw the little girl. "She couldn't be older
than one" Pilar thought. They way they held on to
each other was so cute. She just stood there for a
few moments.
"All right Luis. We have to go meet your father"
Pilar said.
Luis looked sad, but at the same time, he couldn’t
wait to meet his father. He tried to let go of the
girl's hand, but she held on tight. "I have to go,
but I'll come back soon." He tried to walk off again,
but she still hung on. "No Luis" she said.
Susan Crane walked over and saw what was going on.
"Come on Sheridan. It's time for your nap. Please
let go. You'll see him again."
She finally let go, but before her mom could carry her
off, she kissed Luis' nose. He didn't mind. He could
see himself playing all the time with her. Sheridan
and Luis, together forever.

Chapter 4:
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald part 1
Theresa- age 5
“Come on honey. We’re going to be late” Pilar said to
her daughter Theresa.
“Coming Mama” said Theresa.
They were going to meet Martin, Miguel, and Luis and
go to dinner. It would be the last dinner they would
be having together for awhile because Martin was going
away on business.
As they were walking down the street, Theresa
accidentally bumped into some one. She looked up as
she started to apologize. “I’m sorry.” She could
tell by the look on the boy’s face that he was mad.
The look softened as she apologized.
“It’s okay” the boy said still a little upset. He
couldn’t believe that he let some little girl get him
upset.
Theresa kept on looking at him. She had a felling
that this wouldn’t be the last time they would see
each other. She felt that they would be around each
other often in the future. She was only five, and he
had to be around twelve, but she loved him. “It’s
fate” she thought.
The boy couldn’t talk his eyes off her either. The
whole incident was like deja vu to him. It was the
strangest feeling and he couldn’t shake it off.
“Come on Ethan. Your mother’s waiting for us” the
girl with the boy said.
“Okay Gwen, let’s go” Ethan said. “Bye.” He waved to
Theresa.
“Bye” Theresa said.
“Come on Theresa” Pilar said. She had witnessed the
whole incident with amusement. She had taken care of
Ethan Crane for most of his life, so she knew there
were going to be no problems.
“It’s fate” Theresa thought again. “Fate brought us
together, and it will bring us together again.”

Chapter 5:
Ethan Crane part 1
Ethan- age 8
“Ethan, your father and I each have to go out of town
for a couple days, so you’re going to stay with Pilar.
Okay” Ivy Crane said.
Ethan nodded. He loved Pilar. She was like a second
mother to him. He had a feeling this would be fun.
A few hours later, his mother dropped him off and
kissed him good-bye. Before she left, she promised
that she would pick him up in two days.
“Ethan, are you hungry” Pilar asked. He nodded.
“Let’s go in the kitchen and make some lunch.” They
went into the kitchen.
“Martin, I know you have some work to do, so I’ll look
after Theresa” Pilar said.
“Thanks Sweetie” he said as he gave her a kiss.
“What would you like to eat Ethan?” she asked.
“Peanut butter sandwich, please” Ethan answered.
“Okay, one peanut butter sandwich coming up. Can you
watch Theresa while I make it?”
Ethan nodded and went over to Theresa. “She’s such a
cute baby” he thought.
She woke up as soon as Ethan got close. She was
staring at this stranger, so she started to cry.
“Shh! Don’t cry. It’s okay, I won’t hurt you.”
At the sound of his voice, she stopped crying.
“Good” he thought. She was staring up at him,
smiling. “You’re such a good baby” he said.
He sat there playing with her, and making her laugh.
She was happy and so was he.
Pilar stood in the doorway watching them. She had
never seen Theresa that content around a stranger.
“Ethan, your sandwich is ready. You can play with
Theresa when you’re done eating ok” Pilar said.
Ethan nodded and followed her into the kitchen.
“Theresa is perfect” he thought. “I can’t wait until
she’ big enough to really play.”
