This is BOOK 2 of the series ELLA`S STORY: MY LOVE FROM THE FUTURE. It may be confusing if you haven't read BOOK ONE. You can find BOOK ONE here:

BOOK ONE

In this book Helana, who was an invisible entity living in a genie bottle is now a fully formed 14 year old Earth Girl. She struggles with the challenges of her new environment, especially the enhanced emotions of humanity. Falling in love, heart break, and dealing with Earth boys is just the start of her tribulations.

Ella and her crew struggle to control the new mental powers taught by Helana. Increasingly bizarre episodes happen that shock the girls and their parents.

This is the 12^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.?"

In this episode the girls have to reintegrate into normal life after spending the summer with the US Navy. Helana's appearance, apparently out of nowhere, has the girls parents concerned. Mr Danvers happily adopts her but there are many questions that have to be answered. Helana cannot speak English, or any other language. As a natural telepath she has never had to use spoken words before so she has to learn English from scratch. Ellen's mother is concerned that Ella's love for her new sister, Helana, is more than platonic.

My Sister, My Twin

"So this girl, Helana, Eileen's parents are adopting her? And she's going to live with them?"

"Not if I can help it." Ella says to her mom "You said it yourself, she looks so much like me that we can pass for twins. She's my sister. She's my twin. So you have to adopt her, not Eileens parents."

"Eileen's parents have her as a foster child. If someone is to adopt her, it should be them, not us."

"No! No way. She's my twin, not Eileen's. She can't have her."

"Have her? What do you mean, have her? You guys aren't ..."

"Mom! No! Why does everybody think that? We're sisters, not lovers."

"Ella, honey. You're barely going to be 14 years old this month. I don't think you fully understand the feelings that you're having. When Helana slept here the other night, you both slept on the same side of the bed. You showered together. I didn't want to say anything and embarrass her, but that just isn't appropriate for girls your age. I think it's a bad idea for you girls to live together, even if you are twins."

"Oh geeze! here we go! Mom, that's stupid. Even if we wanted to be lovers, there's nothing you could do about it anyway, even if she's at Eileen's. We can make the guest room her room and she can sleep and shower there, and you can watch and make sure we're not 'doing it'. Would that make you happy?"

"Lets not fight about it, please. I have a right to be uncomfortable with this situation. This girl pops in from nowhere, she can barely speak English, and suddenly you're treating her like she's your wife, not just a friend. I'll compromise with you, OK? We'll make the guest room her room, when she stays here, and you will see her every day anyway. But she needs to live with Eileen. OK?"

"We all shower together at school, so I don't see why you're being so dumb about it. Ok, Eileen can adopt her, but she needs to be here more often than not"

"We will sleep in separate beds, we will shower in separate bathrooms, and I won't kiss her in front of you. That last part was a joke, Mom. Stop freaking out!

English As A First Language

"Mr Danvers, thank you for coming. I hope all is well with your new daughter, Helana. I'm her English teacher, and I'm trained as a speech therapist. Helana is a lovely girl, we all love her here, but we're having some trouble with her language skills in English. Can you tell us anything more about her? Her history? The part of the world she comes from?"

"I've already said all that I know. My daughter and her friends met her while they were in special classes at the Naval Academy summer camp. They created a very special bond, almost like sisters, and that's how she came to be here, as my adopted daughter. The Navy didn't have much information about her other than she's from the Eastern coastal regions of India, was an orphan, and was discovered as a stowaway on one of their ships. She's extraordinarily intelligent, genius level, which is why they included her in their special classes."

"My problem in teaching her English, is that she's not learning English as a second language. She's learning it as a first language. I have no other language to compare it to, which makes learning it from scratch especially difficult. I have to use techniques we use for deaf children. Do you think she was a feral child before the Navy found her?"

"Feral? You mean raised by wolves? I doubt that. Her knowledge of culture, her sophisticated thinking, her religious beliefs, are all very advanced, far advanced from a typical teenager her age. Somewhere along the line, I suppose, she managed to survive without needing language. There's still a lot we don't know about her. When I ask about her parents she just says that they're with her in spirit, so I assume that they have passed away. Beyond that she has revealed almost nothing about her past."

"I see that she relates to Eileen, your other daughter very well. How does Eileen handle her lack of verbal skills?

Eileen and her friends, including Helana, just seem to know what each other is thinking. It's almost like telepathy."

"They have bonded at a very deep level. It's almost magical. I don't think you need to worry about Helana learning English. My guess is that within a few months she will be speaking the standard teenage lingo, without a trace of an accent. In fact, I'll bet money on it."

"I hope you are correct. For now we will keep her in Special Ed classes. She can't even read a text book yet, so it will probably be next year before she can join regular classes. Congratulations on your new daughter, she's a lovely child and I'm sure, as you are, that she will eventually thrive."

Earth Boys

"The boys here are very unsophisticated, almost retarded." Helana observes.

"Boys on our planet develop later than girls. They're retarded for a reason, so that us women can train them. Men think they run the planet, but that isn't the way it really works." Eileen educates Helana about Earth boys.

"So I should pick out a retarded boy and train him? That sounds like it would be very frustrating." Helana asks.

Eileen rubs her chin trying to look all wise. "You could always date an older boy, but that can be just as frustrating. If you're going to date it's going to be frustrating no matter what. But don't worry about that. Dad won't let us date until we're 16 anyway."

"Oh. Ok. That makes me feel better. Boys here are weird and I have no clue how to relate to them. You will teach me?" Helana asks Eileen for guidance.

"Yes, honey. I will teach you everything there is to know about Earth boys. But don't you dare date a boy until I check him out for you. Some boys are dangerous." Eileen says.

"Your Dad said the same thing. He has to approve of any boys that I want to date." Helana says.

"Forget that!" Eileen laughs. "Come to me or Ella for advice about boys. There are many things, you will find out, that Dad doesn't need to know."

"Ella said it would be better if I don't date boys, ever. But since I'm a normal human female now, I want to do all the things that normal human females do. I want to experience it all."

"Yeah, Ella is very possessive of you, if you haven't noticed. But as soon as the love bug bites and she gets all lovey dovey with some boy, she will forget about you and then you can do whatever without her being all up in your business."

"Oh my! I hope she doesn't forget about me!" Helana complains.

"Oh I didn't mean it that way. She will forget about being so possessive of you. That's what I meant."

"Ok. Good. Can you help me with my English now?" Helana asks.

"Yes, but we will have to speak out loud. Remember others can hear you when you speak out loud, so be careful what you say."

"I - Will - Be - Care - Full." Helana says with a smile, practicing speaking out loud.

Face Talk

"What's so funny?" Roxana's mom wants to know.

"Helana told us a joke." Roxana replies.

"I didn't hear her say anything." Mom says.

"She doesn't need to say anything. Since she doesn't speak English yet, we developed a secret sign language. Helana speaks with her face."

"Ah. Body language. I understand now. You will have to teach me this new language." Mom says with a laugh.

"You're too old, Mom. Sorry. It doesn't work for old people." Roxana says, grinning at her Mom. Mom doesn't grin back.

"I've been meaning to ask. Would Helana like to go to Mass with us? What religion does she follow?" Mom asks.

"Slow down, Mom." Roxana says. "Let Helana get accustomed to living here on Earth, I mean, in America. You can convert her later."

"Ok. No hurry. The offer stands, whenever she's ready." Mom says.

"Eileen, how are your parents adjusting to having two daughters now? I know that must be a big adjustment for them." Roxana's mom wants to know.

"Well, my Dad is all happy about it, like we brought home a new puppy or something. Mom, not so much. I mean she loves Helana like we all do, but I think she's a little bit scared, about having two instead of one. I think she feels a little left out."

"Oh, I'm sure that will pass. Your mom is the strongest woman I know. If anyone can handle two, it's your mom." Roxana's mom reassures Eileen. "Plus you guys will be here or at Ella's more than at her house anyway." Mom laughs.

Night School

"What's going on. I feel weird. I don't know this place. How did we get here?" Roxana wants to know.

"I feel weird too" Ella says "Eileen, do you know this place? Where are we?"

"I've been here before, but I can't remember when, or why." Eileen says "Oh wait! School! This is night school!"

"You've all been here before, but this is the first time you will be able to remember." Helana explains as she enters the room. "I have some people I want you to meet. This is my mom and my dad, my real parents. I've been meeting them here at night school. They really want to meet you, to get to know you."

A young couple that appear to be in their 30's enter the room, and with a big smile and some hugs they meet with Ella, Roxana, and Eileen. The room is thick with love.

"Oh My God. We're asleep aren't we. Is this a shared dream?" Roxana wants to know.

"Your body is asleep and your brain is resting and rejuvenating, but you, the real you, are very much awake. Every time your body sleeps you travel all sorts of places, including this night school. You just don't remember it when you wake up. Actually it's your brain that doesn't remember because the spirit memory is not downloaded when you wake up." Helana explains.

"So we won't remember when we wake up? How do we get home? What if we get lost and can't find our body again." Ella asks.

"You will remember, now. You've graduated to remembrance level. From now on you will remember your travels. You don't have to worry about finding your body, you're still in it. You have bi-located. You are both here and there at the same time. Spirit life is convenient like that." Helana explains.

"This is my world. This is my school. Even though I can't come back here physically, I can still come here this way, in spirit, and so can you. We're not so different after all. Here is where we will learn the many things that your school does not teach, as I learn the many things from your school that this school doesn't teach. We're going to be the smartest kids in the galaxy."

"I wouldn't go that far." Helana's mom laughs "But you will have advantages that few of your kind will have. Some of your great teachers on Earth have been to this night school, although few remember. You will remember, from now on, but it's important that you keep it a secret. Many will be jealous of your privilege, so it's best not to speak of it. It's so good to meet you girls, finally. We love you as Helana loves you, with all our heart."

"We're not going to have homework, are we?" Ella wants to know.

"Yes, you will have homework, but not essays or science projects. Your homework will be to live the knowledge you learn here, to improve your lives and your world with knowledge. The only person who will grade your homework is you. That's better than essays and book reports, isn't it?" Helana's mom explains.

"Very much better." Ella responds.

"So what's our lesson tonight?" Eileen wants to know.

"Tonight we have a download on listening. Listening to the thought behind the thought, and the sponsoring thoughts behind that."

"There are thoughts behind thoughts?" Roxana asks.

"Yes. Many times as I guess you have already experienced someone will say something or do something that doesn't make any sense. It seems out of context, without reason. But if you look deeper, the thought that generated those actions is based on a deeper thought that you and they are probably not aware of. Deeper than that are other thoughts no one remembers or knows about. Once you discover those sponsoring thoughts their actions make perfect sense. Being sensitive to sponsoring thoughts will allow you to understand and relate to others of your kind in a positive and nurturing way, rather than getting frustrated and angry." Helana's mom explains.

"So when does this download start?" Eileen asks.

"It's already complete, but it will take weeks or months of your time to be integrated into your consciousness. Be mindful of it though, and you will see it take root and become part of you. Class is dismissed, for now. We will see you next time." Helana's mom waves goodbye to the girls as she leaves the classroom.

Chapter 2
Bait

This is the 13^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Helana struggles with her lack of language. Eileen's mother is shocked and afraid of how much the girls know without speaking. She is suspicious that they are telepathic but is unable to believe that is possible.

Make - World - Better - Place

"Mom! Call for backup!" Eileen says while shopping for clothes for Helana.

"What? What are you talking about?" Mom wants to know.

"I just saw Helana talking to some creepy guy, and I think she's in danger."

"Where is she? Who is she talking to?"

"Mom! Wait! There's more. When we were coming in she saw a girl in a car looking sad and scared, with some creeper guy. Helana followed him around the store. The way she talks he probably thought she's retarded, and he offered to buy her jewelry and stuff. I think he wants to abduct her."

"Well, that's not going to happen! I'll call it in and alert store security. Lets go find her. We need to have a talk."

"Helana? Sweetie? What are you doing?" Eileens mom asks as she approaches the jewelry display. A man who looks to be in his 40's hurriedly leaves the area as Eileen's mom, a uniformed police officer approaches.

"Helping. Girl. Make - World - Better - Place." Helana speaks in broken English.

"Yes. We all want to make the world a better place. But you can't do it this way. You used yourself as bait. That's one of the most dangerous things you can do. You should have come to me first, or at least called 911 on your phone. Don't you ever do that again!!" Eileen's mom explains, trying not to yell.

"I'm sorry. So sorry." Helana responds, tearing up and grabbing Eileen's hand for comfort.

"Mom! You're scaring her!" Eileen complains.

"Well she scared the crap out of me first. You girls don't realize the danger. You don't know how fast a beautiful girl like you can just disappear and be found dead in the woods weeks later"

"From now on when we're in the store I need to see you at all times. Don't be going off by yourselves. We're done shopping for today. Get your items and lets check out and go home."

It Doesn't Add Up

"Honey, something weird happened with the girls today." Eileen's mom speaks to her husband.

"What's that dear? Are they misbehaving?"

"We were at the department store shopping. Eileen comes running over telling me this story about Helana following a creepy guy around the store because she thought he had abducted a girl in the parking lot. Helana used herself as bait to attract the guys attention. She had no idea the danger she put herself into."

"Did you catch the guy?"

"Yes, but that's not the weird part. Helana can hardly create a complete sentence in English, but yet Eileen told me about what Helana was doing in great detail. There is no way Eileen could have known that detail without a conversation with Helana, which Helana is incapable of."

"These girls have a way of communicating that goes beyond words. Eileen probably assumed what was going on just by looking at her."

"Nah, I'm not buying that. I'm wondering if Eileen was the one who saw the girl in the car and put Helana up to it. But that's not all. We parked in section C. The creeper guy was in section F."

"There is no way either girl could have seen them from that distance, and store video shows that the man was in the store long before we got there, so they couldn't have seen them drive up. Something else is going on here."

"Do they know this girl from school or something? Maybe they have prior knowledge of her situation."

"No. They don't live in town. Anyway the girl is his daughter, but he doesn't have custody, so it's kidnapping. The man is intellectually disabled. He thought he could find a friend for his daughter so she would be happy."

"There is no telling what might have happened to Helana if he grabbed her, and she probably would have willingly gone with them to help this girl. She has no idea the dangers involved. We need to keep a close eye on them. They should not be allowed to roam around town unsupervised."

"Well, I'm glad it all worked out and she's safe. I don't think the girls will appreciate supervision, they have been free to roam around town, within limits, for a year now. Rolling that back will be difficult."

"That's it?!? You're not upset? You sit there calmly worrying about them not wanting supervision when both of our daughters could be dead right now? You're unbelievable!"

"Let not fight, please. Yes, I am upset, worried to death to the point I can't sleep well at all. I have been ever since this Save The World mindset has gotten into their heads. But grounding them and chaperoning them around town like six year olds isn't going to work with teenagers. And ever since they went to that Navy school they act more like Marines than high school kids. Let's talk, calmly, without freaking out, and find some solutions for the girls that will keep them safe."

"Ok, I'll try. But freaking out is going to be hard to avoid. It just doesn't add up. These girls know things they shouldn't know, things they could not possibly know. Like the boy on the mountain, and the kidnapped girl they could not possibly have seen. Honey, I'm sorry. I'm freaked out. What is going on with our girls?

"Ok, I appreciate your being freaked out. I'm a little freaked out too, but I have to tell you something, and you're not going to want to hear it. I know how you hate it when I go to UFO and Conspiracy groups. You think it's all bull shit, and most of it is.

But there is one thing they're right about. This generation of children are different. Many of them are psychic, much more so than our generation was. Honey, if you will just let yourself accept the facts that you have seen with your own eyes, the only logical conclusion you can come to is this: Our girls are psychic, Helana is especially psychic. They see thing, know things that we cannot see. What other explanation is there?"

"You're right, I don't want to hear it. There has got to be something else going on. They must be communicating some other way, social media, Snap Chat, something like that."

"I think it's time we get them some simple flip phones, voice only. These smart phones are probably the problem, they're too sophisticated for young kids to use."

"Good luck with that. You might start a war with the kids. Remember when your dad took away your beeper? That didn't slow you down one bit, did it?"

School Yard Drama

The four girls enter the high school campus, grateful for not having to wear their middle school uniform anymore. Wearing their brand new outfits they feel good, until three boys approach."

"Ew. It's the Navy girls. I don't see no boats around here for you to sail around in. And they brought their retard friend along. Hey retard, you wanna ... oh shit!" Jimmy Sterling curses as he stumbles and falls in front of Helana.

"Oh Man, did you see that?" a boy says "Jimmy just face planted in the dirt, right in front of that new girl."

Ella stares at Helana and thinks "Helana? Did you trip that boy? Did you make him fall down?"

"Nope. I didn't make him fall. I made the stupid little prick bow down." Helana thinks back to Ella.

"Helana, Honey. You have to be careful with your emotions. We talked about that. If you react that way you will reveal yourself, and that's dangerous." Ella cautions.

"Ok, I'll be good." Helana says "But I'm not going to put up with their shit. I'm beginning to hate boys more each day."

"They're not all bad." Eileen says "But Jimmy is especially stupid, so I'm with you if you want to face plant him a few more times." Eileen giggles out loud.

"Lets hurry to class, girls, before some more drama breaks out." Roxana says.

The girls keep walking as Jimmy spits out some grass and dirt, trying his best not to cry.

"Don't worry about those fools. They're idiots, but their harmless. If you girls need anything, you let us know. We've got your back." a voice comes from behind, as the girls turn around to see three senior boys.

"Ohhh Myyy God!" Eileen squeals as the girls walk on. "That was Bobby Miller. He's like the hottest boy, and he was staring straight at Helana."

"Interesting." Helana says "I sense he was checking us out, and establishing his territory, like we belong to him now."

"That's so cool." Eileen says.

"That's so NOT cool. We're not going to be anyones property, even if they're cute." Ella says.

"No. Definitely not anybody's property." Helana says "But he's cute. He will be in college when I can date, so I'll put him on my list of prospects." Helana giggles.

A Meeting With Dad

"Why are we stopping here?" Eileen wants to know.

"Your mother is not feeling well, so I'll get you guys some pizza for supper so she doesn't have to cook." Dad explains. "Also, we need to talk about your mother. She's totally freaking out, about the boy on the mountain, and the creepy guy in the store. You've been revealing your new powers in front of the one person who can't handle it. You have to be more careful, more discrete, especially when she's with you."

"Ok Dad. We'll be more careful, and more discrete, as soon as I look up what that word means." Eileen says.

Helana and Eileen rush into the house after dropping off Ella and Roxana.

"Mom, we brought pizza for you." Eileen says as the girls come in the house. "We'll be upstairs doing homework."

Eileen's mom watches as the girls head up the stairs. "Girls, could you turn around and look at me for a second?"

"Sure Mom, Whats up?" Eileen responds.

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to see your pretty faces before I went to bed."

"Ok. Good night, Mom" the girls respond in unison.

Eileen's mom goes to the living room, sits on the floor, and cries.

"What's wrong honey? Are you OK?" Dad wants to know.

"I don't know how to deal with this. I don't know what's going on. I don't know who Eileen even is any more." Mom says, tearfully

"What do you mean? What happened?" Dad wants to know.

"I asked them to turn around and look at me, and they did."

"So? Is something wrong with that?"

"I didn't ask them that out loud. I just thought it. And they responded. They heard what I was thinking. Who is Eileen? Who is Helana, and Ella, and Roxana? What has happened to our girls? I'm afraid, honey. I'm afraid of our own kids."

Chapter 3
No More Fairy Tales

This is the 14^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Eileen's mother's condition gets worse. Ella's mother is overwhelmed that all 4 girls will be living at her house while Eileen's mother recovers. Eileen counsels her mother regarding the strange things she is seeing in her daughters. Commander Beaker helps Eileen form a plan to help her mother recover.

All Four Of You?

"Let me get this straight." Ellas mom says "The Danvers adopted Helana, but now Mrs Danvers is having a nervous breakdown and Eileen and Helana need to stay here?"

"Yes Mom." Ella says "Its the perfect solution. We already fixed up the guest room for Helana when she wants to stay here, so now it will be her and Eileen too. We're all sisters, so it's no big deal."

"So two girls in Helana's room and you? Three teenage girls living in my house?"

"Oh, I forgot, Roxana is coming too. She will stay in my room. Don't worry I won't be kissing her."

"All four of you? This doesn't make any sense, why would Roxana need to be here?"

"Commander Beaker said it's important that we all stay together." Ella explains.

"Commander Beaker? What does he have to do with anything? I thought that Navy program was over."

"Yeah, the summer program is over. But we will be going on special field trips from time to time. He calls it Special Access Programs."

Ella's mom stares at Ella with a shocked look. "Did you say Special Access? You must have mis-heard. Special Access Programs. No way would you be involved in any of that."

"Oh. I guess I mis-heard then. Never mind." Ella says, wondering if she's already said too much.

"I'll have to talk to your dad about all this. I guess you can all stay here for a little while, until Mrs Danvers can get better, but I don't think this will be a permanent situation. We're not the ones who adopted Helana. We need to talk with that Navy guy too. Four girls? That's expensive!"

"Oh, Mr. Danvers will be paying child support, so don't worry about that. And Roxana is so skinny, she doesn't eat much at all."

Lets Get Serious

"Ok ladies. We have some important stuff to talk about." Ella says as she starts an important meeting with her crew of four. "First, we need to talk out loud when we're around other people. People can tell something is weird when we speak in each others heads. And Two, we need to be careful around sensitive people, we can't let them see us do anything weird. Eileen, you moms head is all messed up and it's all our fault. We have to get serious. Helana isn't our little genie in a bottle anymore. Playtime is over."

"I agree." Roxana says "My parents are getting suspicious too."

Hearing Voices

"I have another problem we need to discuss." Eileen says "I'm starting to hear other voices, not just yours. Even boys voices, their thoughts. They're disgusting thoughts!"

"I'll ask my mom to work on that in night school." Helana says. "There are ways to filter out the thoughts of others, but it takes some practice."

"Yeah, I thought is was just me." Roxana says. "I've heard some thoughts too. Not just boys though, girls too. Girls have just as much a potty brain as boys do. Almost every thought is about sex, who is doing it, who wants to do it, who's cheating on who. Thoughts of jealousy and hatred too. It's painful. It makes my cry. I can filter most of it out, but sometimes it just comes blaring through, especially when they're staring right at you when they think that stuff."

"What's even more weird, I get feelings, thoughts and other stuff, that are not human. Not demons or spirits, but something else. I think I'm picking up stuff from aliens. Their thoughts are very alien, I can't understand them."

"I know it's a problem. It takes practice. It's why Earth people have forgotten how to use telepathy. Many thousands of years ago when Earth people were telepathic it got out of control. Endless thoughts of fear, jealousy, hatred and an obsession with sex infected the collective mind."

"It got so bad that you guys just filtered it all out, and then forgot how to use it. It's time to start using it again, though, and night school will help. We had to learn the hard way too which is why we had to limit our emotions, our jealousy, and respect the private thoughts of others. It takes practice." Helana explains.

"There is a moral issue as well. In addition to just hearing the thoughts broadcast by others, you will also develop the skill to reach into their minds and read their secret thoughts. We can't do that! It's wrong, but it's hard to resist. When a cute boy is looking at you and you want to know what he's thinking you have to respect his privacy, and not read his mind. You will especially want to avoid any images you might find in his mind, they could be shockingly pornographic."

"Oh man, that's going to be difficult." Eileen says with a frown.

"Didn't you reach into Jimmy's mind and make him trip?" Ella asks, looking at Helana.

"Yes I did, and I should not have done that. It was wrong. I'm working on it, I'll get better, but some of the boys here are really really irritating." Helana explains.

"With practice we will all get better." Ella says. "Commander Beaker wants us to try to learn other stuff too, remote viewing, telekineses, and other things I can't pronounce."

"So is he our boss now? Do we work for the Navy?" Roxana wants to know.

"No. I don't think so. He just wants us to help out now and then, and get special training. I don't think he want us to enlist, at least I hope not. I'm not wearing some stupid uniform!" Ella says.

You're Not A Bad Mom

"Mom, stop crying. I'm not moving out, just spending some time at Ella's so you can work on getting better." Eileen says to her mom while packing up her things.

"I'm sorry. So sorry. I wish I was a better mother. I'm sorry I freaked out. I love you so so much!"

"Mom. Stop it! You're a great mom, and a great cop. You didn't do anything wrong. You're not a bad mom."

"But I don't understand you, you girls, you're doing things I don't understand. You're doing things that scare me. Why am I scared of my own child?"

"You're not really scared of me." Eileen explains "One thing I've learned is to look beyond fear to the thoughts that are behind it, the sponsoring thoughts. Think back to when you were little. Things were very difficult, no one was there to protect you, you had to learn how to protect yourself. You protected yourself by learning everything that was going on. That knowledge gave you the power to protect yourself. That's why you are such a good investigator and such a good cop, because you know how to learn everything about everything and get it all figured out logically. That's your strength. But when something comes along that you don't understand, that you can't figure out, then that old fear comes back. That's what you are afraid of, not me, and not my sisters."

"So now you're a therapist too? Honey, I don't even know you anymore. What happened to my little girl?"

"I'm still your little girl, mom. But I'm growing up, faster and faster every day. The world is changing, very fast, and I'm changing with it, and eventually I'll change the world too. Don't be afraid Mom. I'll always be your little girl. And I will help you with that little girl inside of you, the one who is so afraid. Give me a hug, and give her a hug too. We will get through this, I promise."

Screwed The Pooch

"I'm so sorry, Eileen." Explains Commander Beaker. "I guess I really screwed the pooch on this one. I just assumed that your mom was on board like your dad is, but I guess I was wrong. I apologize for my mistake, and will work with you to fix it, if I can."

"Screwed the pooch?" Eileen says as she moves the phone away from her ear. "Please don't say that again. I'm too young for that picture in my mind."

"Sorry." Commander beaker apologizes again. "I'm used to talking to sailors."

"So how can we fix my mom?" Eileen wants to know.

"If she was a soldier we could use a chemical mind wipe, but that would be a bit extreme, and also illegal to use on civilians. But we can try what is called a suggested mind wipe. It would work like this:"

"For the episode where you guys heard her thoughts and responded, we could explain it as follows. Each person can, even if you are unaware of it, detect the electrical field around other people. So if someone is hooked up to a lie detector like device and someone comes up behind them, the needles will go crazy. That's part of military training where we teach soldiers to be hyper aware of their surroundings. It's probably part of police training as well. So you didn't actually read her mind, you just sensed her presence behind you and turned around to see what was up."

"For the episode on the mountain, finding that little boy, there is a book on that very subject written by a retired police officer. I bet your dad actually has a copy. We'll just say that you read part of that book and decided to recommend to us what the book suggested."

"For the episode with the kidnapped girl, there was an amber alert on that and we could say Helana must have seen it and decided to take some action on it. Her limited language skills prevented her from properly explaining what she was doing."

These Little White Lies

"Hmmm. Do we have to lie like that? Isn't there some way to make her accept what really is happening." Eileen asks the Commander.

"It would be nice if that were possible, but believe me, it usually isn't possible." Commander Beaker explains. "Each of us, not just your mom, has a perceptual boundary within which is our world view, a world view that we're comfortable with. What that means is that we see a limited world, one that we can deal with, live in, create a life in."

"If we were to see everything that exists none of us could deal with it, it's just too much data, some of it very frightening data. So we all live in this little virtual reality, a perceptual bubble, and within that bubble is the world that we know and love."

"If that comfortable vision of reality is challenged with new information usually one of two things happens. The perceptual bubble can be expanded to accept the new information, which is rare. What usually happens is the perceptual boundary blocks the new information, just as if it never happened."

"You and your friends, mainly because of your young age, have the ability to expand your perceptional boundaries, to expand your awareness of the world around you. Your mom, probably because of some issues with past trauma, is unable to do that."

"Since what she has seen is so up close and personal, she hasn't been able to just make believe it didn't happen, so she has fallen into a gray zone, a mental conflict, which she's struggling to deal with it. She can't accept what she has witnessed, and she can't make it go away."

"So these little white lies should actually be therapeutic for her, so she can comfortably get back into her limited perceptual bubble and be happy there. It's like taking medicine, most of which are poisons, but they cure the disease. It's not perfect but it works."

"Ok then." Eileen capitulates ."So like how do I give her this medicine?"

"I'll call your dad." Commander Beaker explains. "I'll let him know of our plan and he can conveniently slip it into conversations where appropriate. What I'm guessing will happen is that after a few weeks she won't even remember the episodes. They'll have been erased, wiped from her memory. That's how these perceptional bubbles protect us from information that's beyond our ability to process. Then you and Helana can move back in to your home and it will all be a happy family again."

My Love From The Future
Book Two

Chapter 4
Happy Birthday

This is the 15^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In an out of body dream state the girls take a field trip to a distant planet in another dimension. Ella is curious of how much detail there is in this reality since it's just a dream. It feels more real than real.

A Field Trip

"Oh, hello." Ella says to Helana's mom. "I was hoping we would get to come here tonight. What are we learning this time?"

"Tonight we're going on a field trip to a very special place. A place where we can explore, learn new things, and have a party." Helana's mom replies.

"Cool, where are we going Mom?" Helana asks.

"Girls, we're going to one of Helana's favorite places, and mine too. It's called a lot of different names, but we call it the Ocean of Infinity. We're going to the beach."

"Oh. Cool. How do we get there?" Eileen wants to know.

"Just follow me through this door, and we're there. In this realm there is really no such thing as distance. We just think of where we want to be, and we're there."

"That's convenient." Roxana says.

"It's convenient, but I do really like riding in cars. I want to get one of my own someday." Helana giggles.

"Oh Wow!" Ella says jumping and dancing around. "I can't believe it, it really is an ocean, with sand and palm trees and the smell of the salt water. It's just like Earth, except the sun is up but I can still see all the stars. This is a really neat place!"

"It's neat." Roxana says "But we're still in our bed clothes. I want to go swimming."

"Ok, thats easy to fix." Helana says "Girls, close your eyes and imagine your favorite swim suit. Imagine yourselves wearing that suit. Concentrate on that suit. Feel how it fits your body. Get comfortable in it."

A Bikini? I'm Telling Your Mom.

"Oh God!. What just happened? That felt weird." Eileen says, opening her eyes to see what's going on. "It worked! It worked! Open your eyes guys. We got suits!"

The girls all dance around in their new swimsuits. Ella stares at Roxana and says "Roxana! Really? A bikini? I'm telling your mom!"

"Look who's talking. I was just curious how it would fit." Roxana explains. "It's not like I'm going to wear it on Earth. How does it look?"

"It looks great." Ella says "Way too great, actually, you'll get in trouble dressing like that." Ella laughs.

"So how did this happen? How can we just think about something and it manifests?" Eileen wants to know.

"So this is your lesson tonight. Joules. It's one of your Earth words. It's all about Joules." Helana's mom says.

Jewels Like Diamonds And Stuff

"Jewels like diamonds and stuff?" Roxana asks.

"No. Joules like in energy. J O U L E S is how it is spelled in your language. It's a measure of energy. In every domain, this one and your domain on Earth, everything is made out of energy. Matter, rocks and stuff and you too, are a very concentrated form of energy."

"There is a huge difference between the Earth domain and this one. On Earth a tiny speck of matter too small to even be seen is made of hundreds of millions of Joules of energy. Mega-Joules. Here in this domain a mountain of matter might only contain a few Micro-Joules of energy. A millionth of a Joule."

"That is a very important difference. The primary organizing principle of all matter is thought, conscious thought. In an energy dense domain such as Earth an individuals power of thought is much too small to have any measurable impact on matter. You can think all you want and not manifest a thing because thought is too weak. Here in this domain, consciousness rules. Whatever you think can manifest instantly. Energy here simply follows the organizing pattern of thought and becomes what you think."

"The energy dense Universe, of which Earth is a member, is the result of hundreds of thousands of billions of trillions of individual spirits collectively manifesting all that exists there. That creates an intense amount of inertia, which makes it difficult for things to move or change. All that thought energy organizes itself into the Universe that you experience. With the exception of a very few spiritual Masters, just one of you doesn't have the thought energy to change much of anything. But here, thoughts are powerful. Just a few thousand of us manifested this beach, this ocean, and all that you see here."

"So that is a long winded explanation of how you got your new swimsuits. Your thoughts about them self-organized into the physical form that you are now wearing."

"So there is no way we could cause our thoughts to organize into matter on Earth?" Ella wants to know.

"Oh yes. There is. You guys do it all the time on Earth." Helana's mom explains. "On Earth, honey, you have to manifest with your hands. Here you just think it and poof, there it is. On Earth you have to think about it, get a pattern, get some material, get needle and thread, maybe a sewing machine, and use your hands to transform your thoughts into physical form. You get to the same place, it just takes a lot more energy, and time, in an energy dense Universe."

"Ok Mom." Helana says "Thats enough lesson for tonight. Can we go swimming now? And what is this about a party?"

"Go swimming girls. Have fun. When you're done I'll let you know about the party."

The girls swim and play for hours, it seems. There is no physical exhaustion in this place, but after awhile they become mentally exhausted, bored with it, and head back to shore, where there is a crowd of people waiting for them. Tables with food and gifts and chairs and beach umbrellas are setup and everyone is in a festive mood.

A Birthday Party

"What is all this?" Helana asks of her mom.

"On Earth, people celebrate the anniversary of their birth, they have a party with gifts and all their friends and family attend. You girls are about to complete the first 14 years of your Earth life, and Helana is at about the same level of development. So Happy Birthday! This is your 14th Birthday party."

Eileen looks around and asks. "Who are all these people? I feel that I know them. Well, some of them I know from night school, but most of them I don't know. Some of them look just like me but some are blue and some are green, and some of them are definitely not human at all."

"These are all people who love you, who have known you, and who will know you. Some of them are your ancestors who have left their Earthly form. Some are ones that you will come to know as your spirit guides in future times. I'm one of your spirit guides now, but there are more to come. A few of them, I can't tell you which ones, that would spoil the fun, will be your children some day. All of them are here to honor you on your special day."

"Are you OK? Roxana? Are You OK?" Ella asks as Roxana drops to the ground, sits cross legged in the sand, tears flowing from her eyes.

Ella and Helana sit next to Roxana, arms around her. Helana manifests a tissue to dry her eyes.

" 'In my Fathers house are many mansions.' That's what He said. That's what my Jesus said. I didn't realize. I didn't know, until I looked over there and saw my grandma. This is one of those mansions. This is Heaven. Is this Heaven?"

Helana's mom helps Roxana to her feet and gives her a big hug. "There are indeed many mansions, if that is what you want to call them. There are an infinite number, as many as you can imagine. This is just one of the little ones. Heaven is everywhere. There is no place anywhere where Heaven is not. Heaven is a big place. Heaven is any place where spirit resides, and that even includes Earth. So there is never a time that you are not in Heaven, you just might not know it at the time."

The girls mingle with the crowd, meeting old friends, making new friends, listening to stories of times past and stories of times to come. There is food, cake, presents, music, and several styles of dancing the girls haven't seen before.

"Mom. Who is that woman who keeps fading in and out?" Helana asks.

"She's from Earth. They call her a remote viewer. She's the one who found you for us. She comes here while she's awake, so her conscious awareness keeps interfering and she fades in an out. You should get to know her, she's a nice lady, and she loves you too. You're going to need all the resources you can get on Earth. Seek her out when you get back there."

"Helana. Does your mom have a name? I don't want to say 'Hey You'." Ella asks.

"Her name is Mom. Just call her Mom. She's your mom too now." Helana says with a grin.

"Mom. Helana said I can call you Mom. I have a question, actually several questions. We've been here for hours, our bodies should be awake by now. Are our parents going to think we died?"

"Yes, you can call me Mom. In fact I prefer that, since I feel you are a daughter to me. Don't worry about time, only a second or two has passed on Earth, well not really, it's just that when you go back, no matter how much time has passed, you can go back to almost the time you left. It's called time travel."

"Ok. Question number two. Can we take these presents back with us? I'd hate to leave them all here."

"Yes and no. Some of them will be waiting for you when you get back here. As you visit these domains more and more you will establish a presence here, your stuff, maybe a house, and soon this will be a place you can not just visit, but actually live here for awhile. A new home, and a place to come back to when your Earth body wears out. A few of these items, however, were copied from advertisements on your Internet. Those items will be shipped to you. So be expecting some packages from people who have no idea why they're sending you stuff."

"Question number three. This swimsuit I manifested. Look at it. The fabric, the print, the stitching, the fibers. Everything about it down to the microscopic level has very fine detail. There is no way I thought about all that detail. How did it manifest in such fine detail?"

"You are a true scientist, Ella. I'm so proud of you for asking such questions. Here is the answer as best I know. There is a field, an infinite field of existence, the one that we call soul. Our belief is that this infinite field of existence is the actual mind of the One Infinite Creator, the One whose original thought brought into existence all that exists. Within this field is the totality of all knowledge, down to the finest detail, even including the fabric and stitching on your swimsuit, and the molecular structure of the fabric itself."

Look around you. When we manifested this ocean, this beach, we didn't know how to make a water molecule. We didn't know the molecular structure of sand. But all that information is available within the field of existence. Some on your planet call it the Akashic records, but it has many names."

"All thoughts have a vibrational field, a resonance, like a musical note except with much more complexity. When you thought of your swimsuit your thought was at a high level, a superficial level, but with enough detail to create a resonance pattern. That resonance vibrated similar patterns in the Akashic records and from there all the fine detail was added, down to the molecular level. So you didn't need to know the fine detail, that was provided for you. Without that fine detail it could not manifest. Without that fine detail the best you could manifest would be a colorful blob of goo."

Ella's eyes sparkle with excitement "I've heard about that, I think. Some say that most of the great discoveries in science, organic chemistry, physics and more happened while sleeping or in a vision. Is that the Akashic records?

"I believe it probably is. Their intense concentration on their equations and experiments allowed their mind to access the records and new information they could never have imagined was provided for them."

"And you will teach me this?" Ella asks.

"I will do my best." Mom says. "For in your lifetime you are destined to make many great discoveries and I believe a lot of that will be from the records."

"I see that our visitors are blinking out one by one." Ella observes "So I guess it's time we go home to our bodies. Two more quick questions before I go. One, this food we ate, what happens to it when we go back? And are we going to be able to remember all this, a lot has happened here, much more than normal night school."

Mom laughs and gives Ella a hug. "Once again your questions reveal a powerful intellect. You will make a great scientist. Spirit food nourishes the spirit in the same manner as Earth food nourishes the body. The only difference is that in less dense domains there is no waste to deal with. In more dense domains, even your spirit would need to use the restroom. You will remember all of this in great detail, but it will take awhile for spirit to download all this information into your brains memory. So at first you won't remember much as all, but after a few hours, or maybe a few days, it will all come back to you as your brain catches up.

A door appears near the tree line and the girls walk through. A groggy Ella wakes up at about 3:35AM, rolls over, kisses the sleeping Roxana on the forehead, and goes back to sleep.

Knock Knock UPS

Ella's mom opens the front door "Packages for Ella Patel, Roxana Park, Eileen Danvers, and Helana Danvers."

"Ok. They're upstairs. Can I sign for them?"

"Yes Ma'am. Thank you." Says the UPS driver as he scurries back to his truck.

"Girls, you've got mail." Ella's Mom shouts upstairs.

The girls hurry down the stairs to see what they've got.

"You've got a bunch of packages here. What is this stuff? Did you order something on-line? Who is Melanie Crenshaw and why is she sending you stuff."

"I don't know Mom. Lets open them and see what it is." Ella says.

"No way!" Ella's mom replies. "We aren't opening anything until we figure out where it came from."

"There is a message on the shipping label. It says Happy Birthday." Eileen observes.

"But who is this lady? We don't know anybody by that name." Ella's mom wants to know.

"This one has a business card attached." Roxana observes. "It says Melanie Crenshaw, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor, Life Coach, Consultant for US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)"

"OH! I know! I know!" Ella says excitedly. "She's the lady from the Navy. Our friends from the summer program must have gotten us birthday presents. That's what it is."

"Ok, but lets open them down here. I have a funny feeling about this. I bet that Commander Beaker is behind this, he seems to love you girls a lot. Let's check this out and see if these gifts are appropriate." Ellas mom says.

"Let's not open them down here, for that very reason. Some of the Navy students we were with are jokesters and may have sent something stupid and embarrassing. It's best if we open them upstairs." Ella says "We'll be careful and let you know if one of them is a bomb."

"That's not funny Ella. You're jokes are not funny. Give me that card, I'm calling this lady and see what these items are before we open anything. Go back upstairs and I'll let you know what I find out."

The girls sit upstairs, nervously awaiting the results of the phone call.

Roxana is concerned "What if your mom finds out that she's a remote viewer. She probably won't even know what that is, and if she does it will freak her out."

"Do you think these are the presents from night school?" Helana asks.

"Oh Yeah!" Eileen says. "I almost forgot about that. I bet they are. That's cool."

"I just hope this Melanie lady is discrete. We don't need another mother meltdown." Roxana says.

There is a knock on the bedroom door and Ella's mom comes in. "It's OK girls, I talked to Melanie. She says she was one of your instructors at the Naval academy, and the staff and students there got you these presents. They really love you there. She says nothing is inappropriate. She's going to be in town next week and I told her about your birthday party next weekend. She wants to come. So we will open these presents then with all the others."

"Oh man. This is worse than Christmas, when you have to wait to open the presents." Roxana complains.

"Life is all about waiting, sometimes. You might as well get used to it." Ella's mom laughs as she leaves the room.

My Love From The Future
Book Two

Chapter 5
Love At First Sight

This is the 16^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Helana learns all about falling in love and heart break all at once. Becoming an Earth girl at the tender age of 14 she does not have the skills to control her emotions. Ella is concerned that the Navy Commander wants to turn her crew into government spies.

Party Time

Ella's mom scurries around setting up the back yard for a birthday party. Ella is concerned. "Mom! Slow down. You're gonna kill yourself."

"I'm just trying to get everything setup. We have guests coming. And that Navy lady is coming too." Ella's mom explains.

"Yeah. I know." Ella responds. "But this isn't a Quinceañera or a Sweet 16. We're just 14, so not so big a deal."

"You girls are a big deal. You'd be surprised how many people in this town love you. You're almost famous. I just want everything to be perfect for you."

"Mom, Really! I think you want it to be perfect for you. Don't stress it. Nobody cares if something is out of place. And there are just as many people in this town who hate us as love us. Believe me on that." Ella responds.

"Ok, Ella. I'll calm down. I'm just about done anyway. Help me get the food on the table please. We'll bring out the cake later. I don't want the dogs to knock it over."

"Ok, My sisters." Helana whispers. "Turn off you telepathy, like I showed you, or this party will get very loud in your head. People's thoughts get all mushy at a time like this, and it can make you sick."

The party goes as planned. Ella's mom gets a spread on the table for snacks and food. One by one visitors show up. Some stay for awhile, some just drop in and leave present and then leave. One special guest drives up in a rental, a woman in her early 60's. She introduces herself as Melanie Crenshaw.

Melanie rushes across the yard, gathering the four girls to herself, giving them each a big hug and a kiss. The girls are a bit surprised at the sudden affection, but they do recognize her from their Night School party.

"I've so wanted to meet you in person!" Melanie exclaims. "You're just as gorgeous as I imagined."

"I thought you were their instructor?" Ella's mom asks.

"Oh Yes. I was. But that was all on video. This is the first time I can see their pretty faces close up, and can give them a hug." Melanie explains.

The door bell rings and Ella's mom rushes to answer it. She return to the party a few minutes later carrying a single red rose in a vase.

"Someone got us a flower? Just one?" Eileen asks.

"Yes. It's addressed to Helana. And there's a note."

"Who is it from?" Roxana wants to know.

"A young man named Bobby, Bobby Miller I think."

All four girls stop dead in their tracks, turn a little pale, eyes wide open like they've seen a ghost.

"Do you know this boy? He seems a little old for you girls?" Ella's mom asks.

"Mom! Hurry! Read the note!" Ella exclaims.

"I can't do that. It's addressed to Helana. Here Helana, you should probably read it in private, it could be personal."

"No, it's Ok. You can read it for me. I'm not that good at reading English yet."

"Really? You speak it like a native now. Are you sure?"

"Yes. Please Read." Helana says.

"Ok Here goes:

Helana just stares blankly at Ella's mom. Her eyes start to tear up, and she bolts and runs as fast as she can up to her room and slams the door. Eileen and Roxana follow her to provide support.

"Wow! I didn't expect that! Is she happy or mad? I can't tell." Ella's mom asks.

"Mom. You have to understand. Helana is not ready for any of that romantic stuff. We've all watched a thousand hours of teenage Rom Com, so it's not such a big deal for us. But this probably hit her like getting run over by a truck. She's operating out of pure instinct, without a filter." Ella explains.

"Oh. Yeah you're right. I didn't realize. I'll go up and talk to her."

After a few minutes of knocking, the girls finally open the door and let Ella and her Mom in the room. "Oh, Honey. I'm so sorry this hit you so hard. Do you know this boy?"

"She doesn't know him." Eileen offers a response. "But she's seen him, and she likes him. I think her heart was pierced too."

"I'm so sorry honey. I know how intense these feelings can be, especially at your age."

Helana looks at Ella's mom, her eyes still filled with tears and says, holding Roxana's hands for comfort. "I don't know how to do this, how to deal with this. It hurts so bad. I just want to run down the street and find his house, and find him, and grab him and hug him and kiss him and do anything necessary to make him not leave. It wasn't so bad, just liking him from a distance, but now, to know, that he liked me back! Oh my God. I didn't know I could hurt so bad. Does it always hurt this bad? What do I do?"

Motherly Advise

"What to do? It's complicated. Things of the Heart are complicated, and dangerous if you move too fast. And yes, almost nothing will hurt as bad as this." Ella's mom explains.

"First, if you love him you will let him go. Never stand between a man and what he believes he must do. You will lose every time if you do that."

"Secondly, don't ever run after a man. Some of my girlfriends did and now they're the fat girls with 4 kids living in poverty at the mobile home park."

"Mom! Don't disrespect fat girls!" Ella says with a serious look.

"Sorry, no disrespect intended. But you know what I mean. If you get involved romantically too soon the wonderful life you could have had will be stolen from you, and you will live the rest of your life with regret."

"So this is my motherly advise moving forward. Don't put yourself on the shelf for this guy. He's certainly not going to be on the shelf waiting for you. You will meet many men in your life and more than one of them will make you feel this way. And someday, when you're happily married with kids, and you meet this guy again, smile and say Hi like he asked, and then keep on walking, fast, not looking back. Things can get complicated in a hurry and before you know it you've ruined a good life, ruined a good marriage, all for the memory of a high school dream."

The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make

Mom looks seriously at all the girls and says “Now listen very carefully, all you girls, because this is very important. The most important decision you will ever make is choosing the father of your children. When you get romantically involved with a man that takes your breath away it's easy to forget that. No matter how hot the guy is, don't forget that.”

Helana looks at Ella's mom again and says "Thank you, but that doesn't help at all."

"It's a good thing I didn't get that rose." Eileen says. "I'd be out there running after him right this minute."

"No you wouldn't." Ella says "Cuz I'd have tackled you on the the way out the door.

"Ok girls. Lets get back to the party. Roxana's mom is dealing with the guests all by herself. Helana, cheer up! Something magical happened to you today, even if you don't realize it yet. Cherish this moment and hold it in your heart, forever."

"I'll stay in my room if you don't mind." Helana says. "I don't feel in a party mood right now."

School On Saturday? What The ....?

After the party winds down the girls gather with their parents, Commander Beaker, and Melanie for a late meeting at the Navy office.

"So what is ONI?" Eileen's dad wants to know.

"ONI is the Office of Naval Intelligence. The ONI has a special intern program for training in administration, computer science, engineering, IT (information technology), and intelligence. That is for people with a college degree, but there is a special extension program for high school students. You can even earn college credit for attending. Melanie is one of the instructors and she would like to have the girls attend special Saturday classes." Commander Beaker explains.

"Saturday? No way!" Eileen says.

"Hold on Eileen." Dad says. "Let's hear them out before we make any decisions."

"These fields of study, these specialties. They're precisely the skills necessary to make them good little spies. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that." Eileen's Mom says.

"I know it sounds like that, and if they were college kids or professionals that might be the intent, but not with high school students. There is no obligation to choose a military career. We just want, we believe, that no matter what career they may choose, the special training will be in the national interest to create the best citizens we can. I love these girls and I'm sure you're aware they score very high on intelligent tests and achievement tests, but what you may not be aware of is that on the Navy assessment scores they're off the charts. These are very special children. When we meet kids like this we want to nurture that as much as possible. It's an investment in the future of our country, and our planet." Melanie explains.

"You make it sound like our little girls are going to save the world." Roxana's mom says.

"Your girls, and kids like them may well indeed save the world. They may have to! Us old timers have messed it up pretty bad." Commander Beaker says.

"Ok!" Ella interrupts. "Let me use some of my advanced intelligence powers. You're overselling this, and it's getting a bit ridiculous. How many Saturdays are you talking about? Is it mornings or afternoons, or all day long? Are other students going to be there or is it just us? Where are these classes going to be, and most important, will there be pizza?"

Melanie laughs and explains. "I will be here teaching these classes for six weeks, they'll be held here at the high school, for now it is just you four girls. We plan for a 2 hour session in the morning, a 2 hour session in the afternoon, with pizza in the middle. The afternoon session is flexible and if we finish early you can go home early."

"Ok." Ella continues. "I can get excited about engineering, computer science, and IT, but my sisters don't like any of that. What's in it for them?"

"You don't have to pick a specialty at this point. We will be teaching fundamental skills that are applicable to any specialty, whether it be science studies or social studies, politics, or even religion. I think there is something here for all of you." Melanie explains.

"Fundamental skills?" Roxana is curious. "So you mean math? I hate math!"

"There will be very little math, not like algebra and geometry anyway. There will be some exciting new assessment methods that are sort of like math, and I think you will enjoy learning these new techniques." Melanie explains.

"We will have to discuss this with our kids and let you know." Ella's mom says.

"I'm in." Ella says. "Saturday morning TV is boring, and the new movies don't start till 7PM. So there isn't much to do on Saturday anyway. Free pizza is hard to pass up. But it's up to my sisters what they want to do."

"I'll go if Ella goes." Helana says.

"I better go too if my girls are going." Eileen says. "But I want wings with my pizza."

"What? I'm feeling left out now. I'll go too, I guess." Roxana pouts. "But I want fried zucchini, bread sticks, and onion rings."

"Hmm. I'm thinking of renting the conference room at the pizza parlor instead of the high school. That might be easier." Commander Beaker says with a laugh.

Chapter 6
Saturday School

This is the 17^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode their instructor tries to teach them remote viewing but Helana already knows more than the instructor. The girls are attacked by a would be assassin but Eileen grabs a gun and dispatches the perpetrator with a professional skill she should not posses.

Spy Class

After an hour and a half of orientation, and an explanation of the ground rules and what the classes are supposed to accomplish, Ella sets some ground rules of her own.

"This is what I told you about. We're not spies. We're not going to become spies. And we're not going to help you spy either." Ella says, trying to sound as authoritative as possible.

"Oh No, we're not asking you to become spies. We just want you to develop your skills, to perfect them, so that you can use them for whatever purposes you need as you grow up and choose careers. Our experience using remote viewing for spying hasn't worked very well either. Remote viewing counter spies just block it, confuse it, or turn around and spy back at us." Melanie says.

"Thats because you're doing it all wrong." Helana explains.

"We have spent decades refining techniques for accurate remote viewing, getting the real picture, and not something we just imagine with our mind. How are we doing it wrong? I'm here to learn too. Teach me." Melanie says.

"I don't know where to start. Where I come from we don't learn techniques. It's like you guys learn a language. You don't send babies to a class. They just pick it up by observing and interacting with their environment. I'll try, though" Helana explains.

"First lets undo some of the damage done by your assumptions. Everything you perceive, whether it comes from your physical senses, or you get a download from spirit, or you get it through ESP, it's all imaginary. There is no other way to perceive anything except through imagination. That's what imagination is for, to take the raw data from whatever source and create the virtual reality you perceive."

"Secondly, the data you're trying to perceive is not physical. It's from another dimension, the dimension of mind. In the dimension of mind there is no such thing as distance, so there is no such thing as remote. It's all right here, you're in the middle of it, and there is no other place you could be."

"Thirdly, you're trying to do this with your body while it's awake. You're body can't view anything. It has to be done in the other dimension, the spiritual realm, and then downloaded from spirit into your brain. That's where you get confused, and why it's to hard to perceive what the data means. The body is limited in what it can visualize. The brain was designed for the physical realm, and nothing more. The brain will rewrite the data to suit itself based on what it believes. It's best to keep the data in spirit, let spirit visualize it, and then slowly let the brain pick up what it can. That will only happen when the body is asleep, or in deep meditation, otherwise the conscious awareness of the brain will mess it all up."

"When you came to our birthday party, the night school one, you came while the body was conscious. You faded in and out. You could see but not touch. Had you come like we did, in spirit, while the body was preoccupied with sleep duties, we could have hugged, we could have danced. There is so much you Earth people need to learn."

"So don't fight your imagination. Use it. Walk around in it. Get comfortable in it. Don't set limits on what can be imagined."

"Here are some tests you can use to tune your imagination to detect the things you want to detect."

"Put a clock in the wall in another room, such as your kitchen. Then when you wake up in the middle of the night, almost everyone does that, imagine you're walking into the kitchen and reading the time on the clock. Do that without looking at any clocks or watches you have in the bedroom. Then after you look in the kitchen with your imagination, look at the clock in the bedroom, and see how close you got. After awhile you will find that what you imagine and what you see on the clock in the bedroom are the same."

"It may seem that somehow you spiritually walked into the kitchen, like an out of body thing. But you didn't. Your spirit didn't move. The vision you had of the clock came from data from the collective soul, the infinite mind of the One Infinite Creator. That's where all data is, and ever will be. So don't think you have to go somewhere in spirit and see what's there. That information is already available in the records of soul, what some of you call Akashic records. When you imagine yourself traveling to get the information it just makes it easier to access. You didn't actually travel anywhere."

"Another experiment you can do while playing card games with your friends. Imagine yourself walking behind them and reading their cards. After awhile, they won't want to play cards with you anymore."

"Oh, we've tried many of the techniques that you're recommending. But we still get inaccurate data, or data that's impossible to interpret." Melanie says.

Helana continues "Here is one of the big mistakes you're making. You try to view places that are secret, where the viewer has no knowledge of at all. That's like waking up in a strange room in a strange city on a strange planet. You will be completely disoriented, confused, and even if you get good data you won't be able to interpret what you're looking at until you get familiar with the place."

"The biggest mistake, however, is this. You're trying to use data acquired from soul, from the mind of God, in an adversarial way. This is why me and my girls will not spy. It's wrong, it's immoral, and it fundamentally does not work. Soul is a place of love, a place of cooperation, a place of friends helping friends. When you approach it in an adversarial way you loose resonance with soul, you get out of sync with reality, and what you perceive will most likely be confused. Never use spiritual tools as an adversary, never use them in anger, or you might lose your connection with soul, and that's the very worst thing that can happen to any spirit. That's how spirits die."

"Spirits can die?" Melanie asks.

"What a spirit is, what the physical is as well, what you are, what everything is, is information, a matrix of information. To exist, to be alive, this information must be energized, and this can happen in a variety of ways. The physical body provides the life energy for spirit while the body is alive. When the body dies, the spirit is energized by soul, the source of all things. If your body has died and you have disconnected from soul, your spiritual energy will run out like an old battery slowly going dead. Your informational matrix will dissipate, and you will no longer exist. Soul will forget you. You definitely don't want to do anything that will disconnect you from soul."

"How do you know this, about soul?" Melanie wants to know.

"I don't know it. I believe it. It's part of our belief system where I come from. In my very short existence, though, I've grown to strongly believe what I have been taught. It's totally consistent with my observations, and those of my people. We see much deeper into the many dimensions of existence than you do here on Earth."

"Whew! Helana!." Melanie exclaims. "That was amazing. What an amazing download. It will take me months if not years to integrate this belief system of yours. It reminds me of the ancient Egyptian beliefs such as the seven hermetic principles. Are your beliefs based on this ancient philosophy?

Helana thinks for a few seconds and then says. “Our belief systems evolved over millions of years and their sources are long forgotten. So maybe yeah that had an influence. I think, though, that our belief systems were learned through experience, then forgotten, and then relearned many times over the eons. Like your civilizations, our civilization has risen and fallen many times.”

I think that's all we can do for this mornings session. Your girls have fallen asleep, and I think it's time for pizza."

"Pizza?" a groggy Eileen suddenly wakes up.

Dark Minds

Melanie starts the afternoon session sitting at a table in the central common area of the local shopping mall, a small group of shops surrounding a fountain. "This afternoon, girls, we're going on a field trip, to the common area at the shopping mall. We're going to sit, have some desert, enjoy some Gelato and Italian Soda. This is a study of situational awareness. Most people sitting with friends are totally focused on their friends, to the point of loosing awareness of their surrounding even to forgetting where they are. That's a sign of true friendship and love, but it's also dangerous, and in an emergency situation can get you killed."

"So what are we supposed to do?" Roxana asks.

"Just observe. Don't be obvious by staring at people, that can be annoying, but discretely keep watch on everything in your field of view, and describe it to your friends, who will do the same. Soon you will all know everything that's going on in every direction."

"And then something amazing will happen. As your friend across from you tells what she sees, which will be behind you, you will already know it. We all can detect the energy field of everyone around us, even if we can't see them. With practice we can enhance that skill so that we're completely aware of everyone close to us. No one will be able to sneak up on you without you knowing it, feeling it."

"I already see something interesting." Eileen says. "Pete Sanchez is over there with Kim Dillon. The only problem is that they're dating other people."

"There you go. You already have valuable information if you ever need to blackmail these two." Melanie laughs. "I'm kidding, of course. Blackmail would be wrong. But there are all kinds of interesting and valuable information you can pick up just by being observant."

"I see some! I see some!" Ella exclaims. "The Gelato place is hiring. I can't work there until I'm 16, but now I know what to look for."

"Very good. Very good." Melanie says. "Now look for what is familiar, the people you know, and then look deeper, look for things or people that don't belong."

"Everything looks normal to me." Ella says.

"Not me." Roxana says. I see a man standing by a shop door, but he isn't going in or coming out. I see another, dressed in the same dark suit sitting by the fountain, holding a newspaper, but not reading it."

"Yeah. Me too." Ella says. "There is another one sitting in the Gelato shop, just staring out the window."

"Who do you think these people are? Are they business men, salesman, enjoying their lunch break? Or is it something more?" Melanie asks.

"This is really creepy. I think he's a creeper, I'm going to find out." Roxana says. "I'm getting a refill on my soda and I'm going to walk right by that guy and stare him in the eyes. That should freak him out. And then I'm going to tell him he shouldn't stare at pretty young school girls or I'm calling the police."

"That's pretty daring, Roxana" Melanie says. "Give it a try. We've got your back."

Suddenly Ella and Helana both whip around staring at the entrance behind them. A young man is running in, straight at them, with multiple weapons. Ella is first to attack, trying to knock him down like Helana did to the school boy. She succeeds knocking him to his knees. Helana takes over and puts his face on the concrete, knocking several weapons out of his hands that go sliding across the concrete floor. he's too strong though, he gets back to his knees, pulls an assault rifle from his shoulder and points it in the direction of Roxana.

Suddenly a pop-pop-pop sound echoes in the common area. The intruder grabs his chest, turns to run, but then collapses face down on the concrete.

The girls scream, except Eileen, who stands there frozen in shock, looking at her hands, gripping a 40 caliber semi-automatic weapon.

Several men in dark suits race towards the girls, collecting them and guiding them to an exit where a van awaits. One of the men grabs the gun from Eileen, and stands there as if he was the shooter.

Several other men in dark suits enter the shops.

What The Hell Just Happened?

In a rented safe house, the girls try to calm down, but Eileen is catatonic, just staring at the wall, not responsive to questions. A physician takes their blood pressure and other tests to make sure they're all OK.

"Ok Beaker. Fess up!" Melanie asks with an angry voice. "What the hell just happened? No bull shit - OK! Was that real or was it staged as part of the training?"

"How the hell could it have been staged? The girls knocking him down, the gun sliding into Eileen's hands, her popping him three times in the chest like a veteran police officer? How the hell could that be staged?" Commander Beaker asks.

"Ok then." Melanie stares at Commander beaker with a scared look. "If not staged, was it a hit? He was headed straight for us, had a gun pointed at Roxana, before Eileen took him down."

"We don't know." Commander Beaker says. "We're investigating the guy, a total nut case from what we can tell. So it was probably a coincidence."

"Coincidence my ass!" Melanie says. "Nut cases are easy to manipulate. I think it was a hit, a hit that thankfully the girls training prepared them for. Who trained Eileen on weapons? I don't remember that from summer camp. Do you think her mom trained her?"

"We had them shoot some guns, at targets, but no advanced training. The only thing I can think of is channeling. With her psychic training, when faced with imminent death, instead of calling out 'Mommy', she channeled her mom, adopted her mom's training, and took action like any police officer would. That's the only thing I can think of that would explain it."

Eileen starts to move, looks around as if scared to death, making some whimpering sounds. Roxana cradles her as Eileen starts to cry.

Helana speaks. "It was black. His mind was totally black, a deep bottomless darkness. I couldn't hold him down. He was too strong. Something else was in there, something evil."

"So you think he was possessed?" Commander Beaker asks.

"Not possessed." Melanie interrupts. "Mind controlled. He was just a robot following someone, or something else's commands."

Ella can be heard on the phone talking to her mom, all of the moms who have converged on Ella's house trying to figure out what is going on with their daughters. Ella explains that they're all safe.

"My mom said something funny, no not funny, but very strange." Ella says "The news said that an off duty FBI agent was there eating lunch and he shot the perp. That's not true. Eileen shot him. Why is he saying that he shot him?

"It's called sanitizing, Honey." Commander Beaker answers.

"Ummm. I'm not your Honey, so please don't say that again. What is sanitizing?

"I'm sorry. I think of you as a daughter now, but I'll strive to be more professional. Sanitizing means cleaning up a messy area. That a 14 year old girl grabbed a weapon and dispatched a perp with military precision would cause too many questions to be asked. So we changed the story that a trained FBI agent did it. We also grabbed all the surveillance video from the shops and are cleaning that up as well. Luckily it happened so fast that no one got video on their cell phones until after the girls were taken away."

"And these cleanup guys just happened to be there? Are you serious?" Ella asks.

"These guys have been around everywhere you go for months. You just haven't noticed. We're doing everything we can to keep you safe. The agents are very sad and embarrassed that they didn't take the guy down before he got that close. They asked that I apologize for them."

"So the FBI is watching us?" Ella wants to know.

"No, not exactly. They're part of a special multi-agency task force. They can be any one of several different agents depending on what ID they pull from their pocket. FBI, CIA, NSA, AFOSI, Secret Service, and more. They're an elite and very secret group. Congress doesn't even know about them. So please keep their secret. They're keeping your secret as well."

"So we have the same protection as the presidents kids?" Ella asks.

"Even more than that." Commander Beaker replies.

"And yet when danger struck, we had to take care of it ourselves. So much for your secret security." Ella says looking at Commander Beaker with a suspicious grin.

"Retraining has already begun, and like I said, the guys are very embarrassed. You might not always be able to protect yourselves, though, so I think it's a good idea to keep them around." Commander Beaker replies.

"I didn't finish my Gelato." Eileen says. "Can I get another one?"

"I'll get one ordered for you Sweetie ... I mean Miss Danvers. I'll get that ordered right away." Commander Beaker says.

"I'm Miss Danvers Too" Helana says.

Chapter 7
Randomness, Chaos and Uncertainty

This is the 18^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Helana visits her real mom in a dream state and explains that she is scared following the assassination attempt and want to come home. Commander Beaker deals with the fallout from the assassination attempt. Some in the Navy want to cancel his program with the girls.

I Can't Do This!

"Mom! This is horrible! I'm scared, really scared! I can't do this! I really really screwed up big time. I'm so sorry. There are people who want to kill me. They almost killed Roxana today. They almost killed all of us! Why?" Helana cries in her mothers arms in their night school classroom.

"Oh my sweet sweet child. I don't know why this burden has been put on you, and at such a tender age. But there is much more going on than you realize, more than any of us realized." Mom tries to comfort her daughter.

"What do you mean? What's going on?"

"None of us are sure exactly what is going on, but remember when you were studying Earth history, mid 21st century, the big war, the depopulation event that almost wiped out humanity? Remember how you identified these three girls you love so much as being instrumental in saving the few humans that survived? Well, something has changed."

"Changed? How?" Helana wants to know.

"We have been feeling great waves in the temporal fields, more intense than anything we have ever felt before. The history of that period has gotten fuzzy, single historic events are now spread out over centuries of time. What happened for certain is now uncertain, their future, our past, is in flux, is changing. What happened then may be in the process of un-happening, and that can change everything, even here." Mom explains.

"How can that happen in such a dense domain? It would take the total energy of a star to change that big of an event. Is that even possible?"

"For level 3 beings, such as you are now, it's impossible. For level 5 beings such as we are, it's impossible. But for level 10 entities, those that exist as one with the One Infinite Creator, it may be possible. They can actually modify the core dream which does not require energy. None of us have seen a level 10 being but there are legends regarding their existence."

"Core dream? What is the core dream?" Helana wants to know.

Mom explains, sort of. "Nobody really understands this, but there is a theory, well actually just an idea, that the One Infinite Creator creates in the same manner as we create a dreamscape when we're dreaming. So there is a core dream from which all that exists emerges. The Creator, and certain high level beings can change reality simply by changing the core dream, in other words, by changing the Mind of God."

"So God is asleep, and dreaming all this up?" Helana wants to know.

"No. I don't think The Creator is asleep, maybe more like a daydream. But it's just an idea, an analogy. None of us lower level beings understand this, nor can we at this level." Mom explains.

"So these changes that are happening to the time line? Did I do that? Did I create those changes by getting stuck in, what did you call it, Level 3? What are these levels about?" Helana wants to know.

"It happened when you went there, but no, you couldn't have caused it, but you may have opened a door to those entities that could. We believe that you were chosen, that your going back and getting stuck there was not an accident. It was part of a plan, or maybe they were just waiting for someone to open the door so they could put their plan in play, and you by coincidence became that someone."

"The term levels comes from ancient documents in our domain, it refers to the number of available dimensions of existence in a domain. Earth has 4 dimensions, 3 space dimensions and one time dimension. Why they call it level 3 we don't know. Here we have 3 dimensions of space and 3 dimensions of time, and we are called level 5. Or so we think that's how it works."

"I'm getting confused. What does this have to do with me? What kind of door did I open?"

"It will take time, a lot of it, to fully explore what is going on, but here is our best guess."

"Here, in domains like ours, we can do things like create the beach and ocean domain where we had your party. A few thousand of us can bring that reality into being. But if over time we get bored with the place and quit visiting it, it will slowly fade away."

"These domains like ours are ok for perpetuating life, but the Creator wants something more. The Creator, we believe, wants every kind of life that's possible to exist to have the opportunity to exist. That's why randomness, chaos, and uncertainty are built into the fabric of the universes that we know. Life energy can use the uncertainty, the random or chaotic events, to manifest life in an infinity of forms. Not even the Creator knows how life will create itself."

"Our level 5 domains that can dissipate quickly over time don't have the continuity, the physical inertia necessary for life to do it's thing. Life needs a stable highly dense domain that can be stable for billions of years without dissipating to give life the time it needs to create itself in all its varied forms."

"That's why Earth is so special. Earth and planets like it are the birthplace of life. Without level 3 domains with billions of years of stable continuity, we wouldn't be here. In fact we, you and me, are of Earth. Our form evolved there. Here is the interesting point you may not have figured out yet. Your friends, your sisters, Ella, Roxana, and Eileen, are our ancestors. We're their children. Maybe that's why you were so drawn to them, why you love them so much, why you couldn't resist going to visit them."

"Whoa! Stop the download, please. My poor little spirit brain just went numb." Helana complains.

"Ok, I'll slow it down, but here is the important part that you need to know. There are powerful forces of Darkness and powerful forces of Light that are in conflict over Earth. I believe you and your sisters have been chosen as warriors on the Light side. That's why who you are and what you are doing is so special, but it also makes you an enemy of the Darkness. That's why they want to kill you. The Darkness knows that your knowledge is powerful, that it can defeat them, so they consider it forbidden knowledge that must be destroyed at all cost."

"Dark? Light? Who are these people?" Helana asks.

"Dark and light are just terms we use to characterize different types of entities. The Light beings are those that love Earth and the life forms it creates, such as human, and want to preserve them. The Dark entities are those that want to destroy Earth life and take it over as their own. Thats a pretty simplistic explanation, but it will work for now." Helana mom explains.

"So how do we fight this Darkness?" Helana asks.

"You're not alone in the fight. From level 5 we can't see very far into what we call the Angelic realm, but what we do see is that you already have an army of powerful entities on your side. When Eileen grabbed that gun, that probably wasn't her, that was probably one of her Angels that jumped in and did what was necessary. So let her know not to feel guilty. She's not a bad person who goes around shooting people. She's a soldier in a fight for planet Earth."

"Be careful how much of this information you share. The more people who know, the more attention it will attract from the Dark forces. Use discretion, sweetheart. Your future is in flux, it's too fuzzy for us to see, and we dare not look for fear of making it worse. Anything can happen. Be strong, but be careful, and keep most of these things hidden. Forbidden knowledge used carelessly can get you and your sisters killed, and then the future of Earth is in jeopardy as well."

Wars, Angels, Secret Knowledge?

"You were talking in your sleep, mumbling actually." Roxana says. "You were talking about Wars, Angels, and Secret Knowledge. Did you go to night school?"

"Yes. I think. It's fuzzy. My poor little brain is having problems downloading it all. I think Mom laid a big load of data on me. It'll take awhile. I do know, though, that I need to have a long talk with Commander Beaker. Things are much worse than we thought. How is Eileen?"

"Eileen is asleep. I don't think she remembers yet. She seems peaceful though." Ella says.

"Tell her to go to night school when she wakes up. Mom can help her through this." Helana says

"I'm awake." Eileen says.

"How are you feeling Honey?" Ella asks.

"Tired, anxious, and a little confused. That really happened, didn't it? That wasn't a dream?" Eileen wants to know.

"What do you remember?" Helana asks.

"It's fuzzy, but I remember you guys turning around really fast and staring at that guy, and he fell down. Then everything went into slow motion. I saw a gun sliding towards me, and then he started to get up and he pointed a rifle at Roxana, and then everything seemed to stop."

All the sudden I had the gun in my hand and I knew that I had less than a second before one of us was going to die, and then I did what I learned to do with the guns at the arcade, the ones that simulate recoil and everything. Go for the center of mass, grip the gun tightly, squeeze the trigger, and then boom, boom, boom, it all happened just like that."

"I saw him go down, but I didn't feel anything, no emotion, I just said in my mind I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, like I did what I had to do but felt sorry for him. I don't think he even knew what he was doing. I felt so sorry for him."

"Then with all the excitement I guess I blacked out. I don't remember anything else until suddenly we were here, and I don't remember coming here. Where are we, by the way?"

"We're at a safe house that Commander Beaker rented for us. He was scared that it would be dangerous to go home if there were people coming to harm us. There is a bunch of secret agents outside protecting the place."

"So are we going to live here now? Is this our new house? What about our parents?" Eileen asks.

"Nobody has made any decisions yet. Our parents don't even know all whats going on yet. I guess we'll have to figure all that out tomorrow." Ella explains.

"Well, I'm glad you guys are here." Eileen says. "I always feel safe when you guys are around."

"We feel safe when you're around too." Roxana says. "Especially after today. You saved my life! You saved all of us!"

"I feel all comfy and warm, surrounded by the love of my sisters." Eileen says. "So, I'm going back to sleep now. You better get some rest too. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a really weird day."

Security Isn't Cheap

The sun is barely coming up and Commander Beaker has been on the phone for several hours, talking, arguing, yelling sometimes. Everyone is worried about the girls, but also budgets, manpower, enhanced security details, and the ability to keep it all under the radar. Security isn't cheap and budgets are limited.

Helana comes downstairs, her hair a bed head mess, still wearing the same clothes she had on yesterday that she slept in. "Commander Beaker, sir. We need to talk."

"Yes Ma'am, I think we do. Whats on your mind?"

"It has come to my attention that we're at war, a secret invisible war, and us girls are in the middle of it. There's a lot more going on than we ever expected and it could really make big changes in the future of your planet. That's why some, we call them the Darkness, want us dead. We know too much, and that knowledge is dangerous to their plans."

Commander gets a serious look on his face and says "I was afraid of that. I think your coming here was more than just a teenage mistake."

"That's what my mother said too, that the forces of Light used my coming here as a doorway, a happy coincidence, to put in place their agenda."

"What are these agendas, the Darkness and the forces of Light? Are these spiritual forces or physical beings."

The forces of Darkness and Light are physical, spiritual, and Angelic, from what I've been told. We can expect an attack from any direction, from any dimension. But the forces of Light are also physical, you're one of them, and spiritual and Angelic, so we have an army on our side to help us win this battle."

"What is the battle about? What are they, we, fighting for?"

"The Darkness is fighting to take control of Earth, and planets like Earth, and we're fighting to save Earth, to protect and defend her. High density planets such as Earth are very important to the One Infinite Creator, it's where all life begins. So there are many forces that would like to control how Life develops. I was told this was forbidden knowledge, so you can't tell anybody about it, it's got to be topper than top secret." Helana explains.

Commander Beaker agrees. "Absolutely! This information will not leave this room. It would be best if the other girls know as little as possible. My people in the Navy wouldn't believe it anyway."

"Do you think this town is still safe for us to be here?" Helana asks.

Commander Beaker frowns. "I've been fighting that battle all morning. Some feel that it is best if we put you on a boat somewhere in the Pacific. Others think we should abandon the program altogether. From what I have seen, and from what you have said, there could be substantial changes to the time-line, and not the good kind. So I think it's best, even if a little risky, for you to remain here, just be school girls growing up as normally as possible. That should do as little damage to the time-line as possible."

"Yeah, that's what Mom said too. I'm not sure we can be very normal though. And some kids we go to school with saw what happened yesterday. That's something we will have to deal with too."

"Are you going to have secret agents watching us all the time?" Helana wants to know.

"Yes. I think that will be necessary to have enhanced security. The new guys moving into that empty house on your block are not the gay guys they pretend to be. They're agents. Try to avoid them and not tip your hand that you know them. It's best if everything is totally secret."

"I won't even look at them, which is how us teenagers treat old people anyway." Helana laughs.

Just A Coincidence?

The parents and Commander Beaker meet at the safehouse to discuss the tragedy, the girls involvement, and how to proceed. Eileen's mother, a police officer, reports on the investigation into the shooting.

"At first we feared that the girls were the target of the attack, since the gunman was running straight for them. After some investigation, however, we believe it was just a coincidence that their table was directly in line with the entrance that the gunman came through." Eileen's mother explains based on the Police investigation of the shooting.

"He was a very troubled individual and information found on his computer indicated that he was a copycat, trying to emulate other mass shooting that have occurred in recent times. We have alerted the news media to release as little information as possible, to prevent other copycat attacks, but I fear they have already said too much."

"I'm so sorry our girls had to witness such a horrible episode, and counselors are available to them and any others who were there. Events like these are proven to cause PTSD in witnesses. It was a good thing those agents were there to get them out of harms way and stop the attack. Luckily the only loss of life was the gunman himself." Eileen's mother explains.

"Do we have to go to school today? Oh wait, It's Sunday." Roxana says.

"No school today girls, but it would be best if you go to school on Monday just like nothing happened and reestablish a normal routine. It's the best way to get past these kind of events. Thank you Mrs Danvers for you support from the Police Department." Commander Beaker explains.

After the discussions are over the girls grab their things and head to the car to go home with Ella's mom. Eileen's mom addresses Ella's mom and says. "Alisha, could you let me have my daughter for a little while? There are some things I need to discuss with her, and you too Mr Beaker. I've got questions for you too."

"Where are you going, Bob? Get your butt over here too." Eileen's mom addresses her husband.

Eileen's mom begins her interrogation. "Ok, I'll make this as friendly as possible, since most of you are family, but this is an official police investigation. There is a lot about this case that doesn't add up, and I need things to add up."

"First, Mr Beaker, you're a long way from your office in Annapolis. What is the Navy doing in our little town? We're 40 miles from the Federal building in the county seat, why are FBI agents crawling all over our little town? A safe house? What the hell do you need a safe house for? You guys are up to something. My husband and my daughter and you, Mr Beaker, have been treating my like some retarded girl who can't handle what's going on. That stops! Now! Answer me please."

"I would love to tell you all about it, but it's classified. I'm sorry." Commander Beaker explains.

"Classified? Bull shit! It has National security implications but you can discuss it with my husband and my 14 year old daughter? Does that even make any sense?"

"Your husband is ex-military and has taken a national security oath. You haven't. Eileen stumbled into this situation by accident and has been cooperating with us as well, in exchange for special education and training that would cost anyone else hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's quite an opportunity for her, and she's well protected from any danger. Those agents, at great expense to our nation, are here specifically to protect the girls. That's all I can say."

"Well I guess that's all I'm getting out of you. Bob? What about you? How are you involved in this?"

"Like he said, national security oath. But I'm not involved in anything, it's just that I've figured out a few things, just like you're doing now. I don't want to keep you in the dark. It's killing me to do that, but I don't have any choice."

"Ok. These jack asses are useless. Eileen. What really happened at the mall?"

"Mom. You just investigated it, so you already know."

"No Honey. I don't know. That place was totally sanitized by the FBI before we could do anything. We didn't get surveillance video or smart phone video until this morning, and it had all been sanitized too. You girls were not even in any of it. It's like you weren't even there. That's beyond suspicious. So I need to know, what really happened there?"

"Mom, please. I don't want you getting sick again. You already know all you need to know." Eileen says.

"Eileen! Don't be a little bitch and tell me what happened there!"

"MOM?" Eileen says starting to cry.

"Honey please! This is going too far." Mr Danvers says to his wife as three angry looking agents enter the room.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Eileen, Sweetie. I didn't mean to say that. But for God's sake I'm going to be a lot sicker if I can't figure this out. The witnesses ... the witnesses, two of them from your school, they recognized you, and they said the FBI agent didn't get there until the perp was on the ground. They said a little blond girl shot him. They said you shot him. Eileen? Did you shoot that man?"

"Ok, Mom. It was me. I shot him. But the FBI said it would be better if it looked like they shot him because there would be newspapers and TV stations all over the country bothering me if they knew it was me."

"Where did you get a gun? That was a 40 cal like the police use. Were you carrying a gun? Did you get one of my guns?"

"No, Mom. I would never touch your guns. The man tripped and fell and when he did he dropped a gun and it slid over by me. When I saw him point a rifle at Roxana, I picked it up and shot him."

"Really? Three shots to the chest in a tight pattern in the midst of the chaos of a gun fight. I'm not even that good. Where did you learn to shoot like that?"

"The arcade, Mom. The shooter games there are pretty good. I learned that at the arcade."

"Wow! Ok. Eileen. I apologize for being so rough with you. I'm proud of you, and I'm scared to death. I'm sorry, but this has got to end. Commander Beaker, I want my daughters, both of them, out of this program, whatever it is. This just can't go on any longer."

Commander Beaker frowns and says. "You have the right to remove your daughters. I can't stop you from doing that. But know this. This is bigger than me. This is bigger than the Navy. This is bigger than the US Government. If this spins out of control your daughters may be taken, spirited away to some secret facility. I can't stop them from doing that. You may never see them again. It's very important that we work together on this. I apologize for keeping you out of the loop. I'll see if I can get you clearance. We need to keep Eileen in the program. It's more important than you could possible imagine."

Chapter 8
Awakening Consciousness

This is the 19^th episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Commander Beaker explains that kids these days, the new kids he calls them, have an expanded awareness, both physically and spiritually, more than previous generations. He believes that the government should nurture these skills as a matter of national security. Mr Danvers instructs Helana in methods for controlling the many emotional urges that come with being a human in the 21st century.

The New Kids

Commander Beaker starts the meeting. "Thank you for coming. I would like to officially welcome Robert and Judy Danvers, Eileen's parents, Hannah and Eugene Park, Roxana's parents, and Rahul and Alicia Patel, Ella's parents. You have all read and signed the security oath so we can reveal a bit more of the program your daughters are part of. We tried to keep you in the dark, it didn't work, and I apologize for that. It was disrespectful of you and of your parental authority. Going forward you will all participate in the program, as it should have been from the beginning."

"First a bit of history. Over the past 50 years or so military intelligence in conjunction with academia has greatly improved our understanding of human nature, especially in regards to political science and the unfortunate science of conflict and war. In addition computer science has made great advances in what is called artificial intelligence which can analyze and categorize enormous amounts of data, in the blink of an eye."

"New knowledge has emerged from this advanced technology that's responsible for the creation of this program."

"First, our children, some of them anyway, are different. We don't know if it is due to epigenetics, exposure to technology, divine intervention, or simply that 'life will find a way', but some of our children are very advanced, have an awakened consciousness, a blending of spiritual and physical attributes and mental and physical skills that were extremely rare in their parents generations."

Second, our predictive algorithms using artificial intelligence are getting very good at predicting the future, not in specifics, but in the broad generalities. Our best predictions show that soon, at least by mid century, political tensions, conflict over scarce resources, anxiety caused by earth changes, and just plain old megalomania will result in another global conflict, much larger and more destructive than World Wars One or Two. The next World War could be an ELE, an Extinction Level Event."

"It has been our assumption that these New Kids might be able to, since they'll be of age in their 40's and 50's by mid century, to mitigate the effect, maybe even prevent the looming conflict ahead. We fear, and the predictive algorithms corroborate, that the New Kids are going to be too little, too late to prevent the conflict. They may, with proper training and adequate nurturing, at least slow it down, delay it, and save the lives of millions of citizens. Our predictions indicate there could be a world wide 95% depopulation, a probable extinction level event for humanity. We intend to change that."

"This program is experimental, and unfortunately does not have the support of all involved in the Navy, or in Congress. We operate on a shoe string budget and are daily harassed by officials who believe it's all a waste of money, money and resources they would rather use somewhere else. I'm committed to making it work. There is simply too much at stake to leave things to chance, and I hope you will join me in that regard. It almost seems silly, like a Saturday afternoon kids movie, where a few youngsters are tasked with saving the world. But here we are, nonetheless. I appreciate your support going forward."

A sea of raised hands seek answers "Yes, Hannah, may I call you Hannah?" Commander Beaker selects the first question.

"Yes you may. You said that there is a blending of the spiritual in these children. Will prayer be part of your program?" Hannah wants to know.

Commander Beaker laughs "I used to pray every evening. Then I began to pray several times throughout the day. Now I live a life of constant prayer. So yes. The spiritual, as these girls have already demonstrated, is a necessary component to the success of the program."

"Tell me, Commander, how four little girls are going to have a significant impact on the whole world. That doesn't even make sense." Judy Danvers says.

Commander Beaker smiles "I've gotten that question countless times. First, there are not just four. There are more. These girls, however, have higher marks in our testing than the others. But yes, it doesn't make sense that a few kids can impact the planet in such a profound way. We believe, our approach is, that if we nurture these young ones, and the others, to be mentors, teachers, role models, then thousands, maybe millions of other youngsters will step up. That can indeed change the world. We plan to guide them into positions of influence, in science, politics, religion, academia and anywhere else where their impact will be magnified."

"If our girls are really that special, I'm wondering if that gunman maybe was actually targeting the girls." Robert Danvers says.

"We literally don't know. It could have just been a random event." Commander Beaker says. "We will, however, be maintaining a security team in sight of the girls at all times. It's important that this team remain hidden, secret, so if you notice them don't stare, wave, or try to talk to them. Just pretend they're not there."

"Are you going to take our children away?" Alisha Patel wants to know.

"Absolutely not! It's imperative, if they're going to work as influencer's, that their social skills develop normally. They need to stay here, finish high school, go to college, just like any normal child. If they grow up in some laboratory on a military base somewhere, they would not be able to relate, and would not be accepted by their peers, which is critical to the success of the program."

Eileen raises her hand. "When we're 16, are we going to be allowed to date? That was the plan? Will that change?"

Commander Beaker smiles. "It is important that your life be as normal as possible. Your date, though, will need to be vetted, and you must be very careful not to reveal sensitive secrets. That will make dating very difficult, but we will make sure it is not impossible. When you grow up it will be important that you have families, and children. Your future husbands will need to attend a meeting like this, though, so they're part of the plan. It never works to keep secrets in a marriage."

"If you're talking about choosing our dates, or an arranged marriage, forget it!" Ella says. All the girls nod their heads.

"It's too soon to talk about dating, or marriage. Lets postpone that discussion for a few years." Alisha Patel says. All the parents nod their heads.

"Your training, your nurturing, exactly how are you going to do that? Will that be the occasional Saturday class?" Eugene Park wants to know.

Commander Beaker answers "There will be the occasional Saturday classes, maybe sometimes an after school meeting. In rare cases, especially during the high school years, we may request that they join us during a military exercise to get real world experience. There will be more of that during the college years. Don't worry though, we would never take them on a mission where live bullets are being fired. There will not be anything relating to guns, bombs, or alien invasions."

"I think that about raps it up for this meeting. We will have periodic parent meeting to keep you fully informed about the girls training and their activities." Commander Beaker says.

Much Ado About Nothing

"Do you guys think that we're all that special? To me it's like that play we're supposed to read, Much Ado About Nothing. I think Commander Beaker has our parents all riled up over nothing. He probably just wants more funding for his project." Ella says.

"I think you guys are very special, more than you realize." Helana says.

"You're the special one, Helana." Roxana says "You're the time traveler from the future."

"A future which I've apparently destroyed. So maybe I'm not so special after all." Helana says.

"Ok. Since we're not so special after all, lets use this to our advantage. See the young couple over there by the theater. They don't belong, I've never seen them before. I bet they're agents. Lets send them a telepathic message to leave 4 tickets at the will call. This will be fun." Eileen says.

"But the Commander said we couldn't talk to them." Roxana says.

"I think he just doesn't want us to be seen talking to them. He didn't say anything about telepathy." Ella says.

The girls concentrate on the movie they want to see and try to visualize the young couple buying tickets for that movie. After a few minutes the young woman heads over to the ticket counter, leaving the young man bewildered by her actions.

"Hey! I think it might have worked." Eileen says.

"I guess the guy didn't pick up. He must not be sensitive enough." Helana says.

"It worked for the lady though. I guess girls are more sensitive." Roxana says.

"Do you think she got the messages, that we wanted tickets, or did we make her do it like a zombie and she doesn't even remember doing it?"

"I think she heard us." Helana says. "Using her as a zombie would be wrong."

"Well, lets go see." Ella says as the four of them head to the ticket window.

"Will call for Roxana, Ella, Helana and Eileen, please." Ella says to the ticket agent.

"Oh yes. Here they are girls. Enjoy the movie. Go through the door to the right and it will be in theater number 4."

Ella's phone rings as they enter the theater. A young womans voice says "Enjoy the movie girls, but don't do that again or I will have to report it. We're here as your protectors, not your servants."

"Oops, we're busted. That was that agent lady on the phone." Ella says. "But we get to watch the movie anyway." They all giggle.

"Do you think we can do that for refreshments?" Eileen want to know.

"We better not push it, or they'll get mad. We have some cash for refreshments. My Mom says if we abuse our gifts, they can go away." Helana says.

"Yeah. I guess we should be good girls then. I like this telepathy thing. Next time lets have some boys meet us here. That wouldn't be a date if we just accidentally went to the same movie." Eileen says.

"Eileen!" Roxana scolds. "Yes it would. No boys, or I'm telling."

"Don't be so scared all the time. You're so dumb." Eileen responds.

"Girls! Knock it off. The movie is starting." Ella says.

Father Daughter Time

"How was your movie?" Mr Danvers wants to know as he picks up the girls from the theater.

"It was Awesome!" Eileen says.

"It was troubling." Helana says.

"Troubling? How so?" Dad asks.

"Well, there is this actor in the movie. he's very attractive, has lots of muscles. I find him dangerous."

"All hotties are dangerous." Eileen says.

"Dangerous in what way?" Dad asks

Helana pauses for a minute to collect her thoughts, and to decide if she should say them out loud. "Well, if he were here, and he smiled at me, I would go to him. I would run to him. My mind would be screaming Stop!, but my body would betray me. Men like him should not be allowed in public."

"This isn't the kind of conversation we should have with Dad. This is a Mom thing." Ella says.

"Your mom would just tell us about her girlfriends who ruined their lives chasing after men and my mom would just make me go pray." Roxana says.

"And my mom would just schedule and appointment with a therapist." Eileen says.

"I guess you're elected, Mr Danvers. But please don't say anything stupid and embarrass yourself." Ella says.

"I'll do my best then. First, there is nothing wrong with you. These feelings, these urges are totally normal, but it takes time to learn how to keep them under control. That's why we want you to wait until you're a little older before you start dating and have to make these difficult decisions all on your own."

"And don't worry, even if you do make a mistake and get in some kind of trouble, it won't ruin your life. Those girlfriends Alisha talks about, their parents abandoned them when they got in trouble. That will never happen to you, I promise you that."

"So when we're 16 we will have these urges under control?" Helana asks.

"No, unfortunately these urges will never be completely under control. The most important thing for you girls to do is to avoid putting yourself into situations where things could get out of control. If your friends invite you to party where there are no parents and maybe drugs and alcohol, don't go. Even if you could control yourself, a little alcohol will take that control away."

"So Dad? Do you still fight these urges, even at your age?" Eileen asks.

"Yes I do. Just last week a pretty girl at the office wanted to have lunch with me. That could have been an innocent request, but it could also have been a prelude to an affair. So I said no. Pretty girls are as dangerous to old men like me as those muscle guys are to you. I avoid situations like that because I would never betray the love I have for your mother." Mr Danvers explains.

"And because Mom carries a gun." Eileen says. All the girls laugh.

"Can we have our bikes back?" Eileen asks "We have secret agents watching us now, so we can't get in any trouble."

"I'll talk to your parents and see what they say. It's good there are agents watching things, but I also know my girls. If you insist on getting in some trouble I'm sure you could ditch them, or confuse them with your telepathy. So you have to promise me that you will be responsible if we give you your freedom back."

"We promise, Dad!" The girls say in unison.

"We're here. Tell Alisha I said hello. We also need to talk about getting my girls back home. We shouldn't be imposing on the Patel's like this."

"We'll talk about it, Dad." Ella says as the girls get out of the car and run into the house.

Chapter 9
Influencers

You Attract What You Are?

Melanie welcomes the girls to another Saturday morning class. Todays lessons are about how to be an effective influencer and a role model.

"Miss Crenshaw?" Helana asks "I think I've got a problem. I set up my Instagram account like you said I should and put up a few pictures of me and my girls, and look at the comments I got. It scares me. What's up with these little girls? They're mostly middle school girls, and I think some of them are boys."

You're so pretty you are so gorgeous it's insane

You're so pretty SO BEAUTIFUL!!

You're so pretty you're perfect

You're so pretty I wish I had your genes

You're so pretty wtf you're gorgeous

You're so pretty How are you so pretty I just ---

You're so pretty You look so healthy and you are glowing! I can't even explain how gorgeous you are omg blown away

You're so pretty How old are you?

You're so pretty follow me please please please

You're so pretty So damn cute!!

You're so pretty I want to be you!

You're so pretty Are You Even Real??

"Well, we are gorgeous, my twin." Ella says with a laugh.

"There's a lot going on here." Melanie explains. "In the past few weeks with all that's going on you girls have developed a profound sense of confidence. You're no longer questioning your beauty, you know it, you embody it. The way you walk, the way you talk, everything about how you carry yourself exudes confidence. That confidence makes you even more beautiful. You're becoming celebrities."

"There is a saying that you attract what you are. To a certain extent that's true, but much more you attract the people who are in desperate need of what you are. Young girls who lack confidence will be attracted to your confidence. You need to be careful though. Many of these attractions can be harmful. You can also attract the opposite of what you are. For example, if you're kind you can attract an abusive mean person. If you're honest you may attract liars. If you're religious you may attract a disbeliever who hates what you love."

"We get lots of haters too, but our Moms delete those comments." Roxana says.

"Yes. For as many comments you get from those who love you, an equal or greater number may be jealous of your celebrity, hate that you're beautiful, and want to destroy you." Melanie continues. "In both cases, the lovers and the haters, don't respond to any of these comments. Responding to them will encourage them and you will be overwhelmed, and some of them may seek you out to harm you."

"There are, of course, many of the comments from young men, and a few young women, who desire a beautiful hot girlfriend. Don't respond to any of those either, it could create what is called a fatal attraction, which can be deadly."

"So who can we respond to?" Eileen asks.

"You can respond to each other, and to friends who were already your friends before the Instagram posts. Only respond to those who you know and can trust. Strangers can be impostors, like old men pretending to be young girls. That can be dangerous if they get to know too much about you." Melanie warns.

"So should we be on social media at all, as dangerous as it is?" Roxana asks.

Melanie responds "There is danger everywhere so there is no point in hiding from it. Social media is a vital part of your engagement with your peers, so you should do it. Just do it carefully."

"Is the Navy going to be spying on our Instagrams and Facebooks and stuff?" Ella wants to know.

"Absolutely!" Melanie says. "But so is the CIA, and NSA, and marketing groups that serve Target and Walmart and Macys and Kohls and thousands of others. Even foreign governments will be reading your comments. So don't ever say anything on social media that you don't want the whole world to see."

"So, as influencers, how should we present ourselves on social media?" Helana asks.

"Present yourself authentically. Be your authentic self. Be the best you that you can be and present that to the world. Don't pretend to be something you're not. Don't photo-shop your pictures. Don't spend an hour putting on your makeup and then say you woke up this way. Just be you."

"Some of these girls come up to us at school and want to talk or hang out or sit at our lunch table. Some of them follow us around the school yard. Should we shoo them away?" Ella asks.

"Be kind but firm. It's difficult because needy people can get pushy. Just don't be mean or ugly with them. Then you would get the reputation of being the mean girls. You will have to experiment with this to find what works. This may be your most difficult task." Melanie explains.

"To be good influencers shouldn't we have new outfits? Will the Navy buy us clothes?" Eileen wants to know.

Melanie laughs. "I'm sure the Navy would be happy to get you some nice uniforms and some jumpsuits. But I don't think that's what you mean. I'm afraid you guys will have to get your own clothes."

The Pleasure Children

"Mom?" Ella says with a suprised look.

"Dad? What are you doing here, with Ella's Mom, wearing jumpsuits." Eileen asks.

"Commander Beaker asked if he could borrow you girls for the afternoon. There is a problem they want you to look into. Alisha and I decided to come along. We have to go to the airport, right away. It's up to you though, you don't have to go if you don't want to." Eileens dad explains.

Mr Danvers drives the girls to the airport, where he is directed to a private airstrip where a small jet airplane is parked and ready to go. On the plane the girls get jumpsuits as well.

"Why do we have to wear jumpsuits?" Ella asks.

Commander Beaker explains. "We don't know exactly what the situation is there and we don't want you to mess up your clothes."

"Where is there?" Roxana wants to know.

"Cincinnati Ohio"

"Cincinnati?" Eileen asks "What the hell is in Cincinnati?"

"Maybe nothing, we don't know for sure, but here is the intel. Our sensitives, that's what we call our psychics and remote viewers, have been receiving what sounds like cries for help in the Cincinnati area. But they can't pinpoint the location. They get the feeling the cries are coming from young females, but we're not sure. Since your telepathic skills are better than theirs they asked if they could borrow you for a few hours to see if they can pin it down."

"Ok, so we're going to go there and listen for these cries? Then what?" Ella asks.

"Well, we're hoping that you might be able to tell where they're coming from, guide us there, and maybe even communicate with them so we know what kind of danger they may be in."

"You made us skip lunch. Is there food on this plane?" Ella asks.

"Yes there is Sweetie, pizza and wings and all the stuff you like." Commander Beaker replies.

"You did it again, Sir. I'm not your Sweetie. Please don't do that again." Ella says.

"Yes Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'll try to do better." Commander Beaker says.

After almost 2 hours in the air the jet taxis to an awaiting transport van. The group deplanes and gets into the van, which speeds away.

"Dad, are you excited? There might even be aliens there." Eileen says grinning at her dad.

"Yes, this is all very exciting. I'm not expecting aliens though."

"How about you Mom? Are you excited?" Ella asks.

"I came along to see what I always expected. I now hear that you are a telepath. That's not a surprise. So was your great grandmother."

"My great grandmother in India?" Ella wants to know.

"Yes. She was like the village shaman. She could tell what people were thinking. She could speak with the animals. She could even speak to the dead. We never told you because we didn't want you to be afraid. But now, since you can do these things too, it is OK for you to know." Alisha explains.

"Wow. You should have told me. But I can't speak to animals, and there is no way I'm going to talk to dead people." Ella says.

"These gifts may come as well. If they do, don't fear them. Dead people can be scary, but they're just people. Don't fear them." Alisha says.

"We're here." Commander Beaker says. "It's up to you girls now. We will be quiet and let you concentrate. If you don't hear anything that's fine. No pressure. If it doesn't work we'll just go home knowing that we tried."

Everyone is quiet allowing the girls to concentrate. Eileen asks for more pizza, and they have some delivered. There is a gas station nearby with restroom facilities, and the girls take advantage of that.

After about 2 hours, Helana first, then Eileen and Ella, get a feeling.

"It's not a voice. I don't hear any words. I'm just getting a feeling, a direction, and the feeling is like 'come here'. Someone there is telepathic, but it's muffled, like it's being suppressed." Helana says.

"Can you point to the direction." Commander Beaker wants to know.

All four girls turn and look in the same direction.

"It's over there." Ella says.

"How far is it?" Commander Beaker asks.

"We don't know." Eileen says. "It's just over there somewhere."

"I guess we will have to triangulate. Alisha you stay here with Ella and Roxana. Mr Danvers, we'll get a car and you can go with Helana to another location. I'll take Eileen with me to a third location. Then we can triangulate." Commander Beaker Says.

After about 30 minutes the cars arrive and they head off to their other locations. The agents bring walkie talkies so they can all communicate. It's about a 20 minute drive to the other locations.

"We're in position." The walkie talkie squawks.

"Ok. We got the GPS. Sound off your degrees." Commander Beaker says.

"Position one, 302 degrees."

"Position two, 210 degrees."

"Position three, 105 degrees."

"Ok. We got it." Commander Beaker says, punching numbers into his smart pad.

It's dark when they arrive at the location, a large house in a suburban area.

"I can hear them more clearly now." Helana says.

"What is their situation?" Commander Beaker wants to know.

"Oh My God!" Helana says. "I just got a visual download."

"Me too!" Roxana says. "This is awful. This is evil."

"Tell me. What are they saying?"

"I'll tell you." Ella says. "My girls are too shocked to speak right now. They call themselves, or they are called, the pleasure children. They're used as a reward when one of the adults completes a job. These jobs are horrible, like murder and stuff. Then they have a party and these kids are there to pleasure them."

"They run around in strange costumes, or naked, and they have sex with old fat men. There are boys and girls. Some of them are little, like 6 or 7 years old. They have sex with women too, both boys and the girls. Sometimes they have sex with each other and the adults watch. This is some horrible shit."

"I'm so sorry you had to see that." Alisha says. "There are some things that are too horrible to see."

"Ok, it looks like we found a pedophile ring, and human trafficking. The FBI will work with the local police to do a health and safety check, and we'll get these kids help, and get them back home if possible."

"Getting them home might be difficult." Helana says. "Some of them are not from this country, and some of them, although human, are not from this planet."

"Ok, they got here somehow, we'll figure out some way to get them all home."

"You can get the alien kids home?" Mr Danvers asks.

"Yes, yes we can. And remember your oath, this is all top secret. You can't talk about this to anyone, not even your closest friends, or your buddies at the UFO conference."

After a late dinner at a famous steak house in Cincinnati they all head back to the airport. It's late, after midnight, the girls are exhausted and pass out on the flight home.

Hello Diary
It's me, Ella

It's 3AM and I just got home. Man am I tired.

Damn, now my mom knows everything. Well not about Helana, but about telepathy. I guess she wasn't too surprised since my great grandma was the same way. But now things are going to be different, I can feel it.

We completed a mission today and saved some young kids from a horrible situation.

Since this mission was a success I'm afraid there will be many more. I think we need to start getting paid for this. It's not fair we have to do this for free.

Roxana and Helana are so sensitive. They're still in shock after seeing all that horrible shit. Eileen seems to be OK with it. I seem to be OK with it too. I wonder if that's a good thing though. Am I too insensitive?

I didn't say everything I saw, that some of the little kids were sacrificed. My Mom couldn't have handled that, she wouldn't have wanted me to see that.

Any more missions like this, and I'm staying home. I think my Mom is upset too that we had to do this. She might say no next time.

Good night, my Diary.

Chapter 10
Survival

This is the 21^st episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode the girls are given survival training. Ella's mother teaches a class about preparedness drawing on the experience of her grandfather who had to save his family during the separation of India and Pakistan after world war II. Thousands died and if her grandfather was not prepared they would have perished and Ella would never have been born.

The girls stumble into the Saturday class with Miss Crenshaw. They definitely resent this Saturday class since it's the beginning of a long vacation week with no school. The school is having teacher training and some maintenance upgrades so the students get a week off. They're supposed to do homework, although the teachers don't expect much of that to actually be turned in. There's a breakfast table setup and the girls pick at it, still too sleepy to really be hungry. Ella's mom, Alisha Patel, joins the group today.

"First we have a little business to take care of." Commander Beaker say. "We have received information from the Medical Countermeasures department in the Pentagon about a potential biological threat. We are handing out these pill packets to you and your families. Use one packet each day. It's mostly vitamins and mineral supplements to charge up your immune system so that if you are exposed to the threat you will not get sick, or it will be a mild case. Don't forget. This is very important. We need you to be healthy. If you do get sick we also have some other pills to get you well quickly."

Melanie starts the class. "OK girls, please take your seats. We have a treat this morning. Ella's mom has agreed to participate today. Our subject today, and this week, is survival. Ella's grandfather, Alisha's father, had to survive a very difficult time in his home country of India, now Pakistan, and Alisha will tell us his story."

"Mom? What's this all about? Please don't tell boring stories about Grandpa. We already know he was a hippie." Ella says.

Grandpa's Story

"Long before he became a hippie, he was a little boy in India. He was born in 1945 during World War II. It was a very difficult time for the whole world and it was especially difficult in India, still under British rule. We haven't told you this part of the story because it is a very ugly story. Since Melanie told us about beginning your survival training I thought it would be good to tell you now about how important it is to be prepared when times are bad."

"OK. Wake me up when it's over." Ella says.

"Don't be a little brat, Ella! This is very important. Stories like this can keep you alive. Over a million people in India died and if Grandpa's father didn't know some survival skills, his family would have died too, and you would never have been born. So sit up and listen!" Alisha scolds her daughter.

The girls quit slouching in their chairs and sit up to listen.

Bodies in the street. The Great Calcutta Killing

"At the end of the war, even though the British won, they were broke. Their financial system was almost destroyed and they could no longer keep their empire together. They decided that their colonial empire would have to give independence to many of their colonies, including India, since they could no longer afford to support them."

"The British didn't understand at the time the deep religious division within India. Most Indians were Hindus or Sikhs but about a fourth of them were Muslim. Under British rule the Muslims were protected, but if India became independent, the Muslims were afraid that they would be persecuted by the Hindu majority."

Vultures on the ledge. The Great Calcutta Killing

"The fear and the hatred between the religious groups grew to a horrible level and fighting and riots broke out in many places. In Calcutta many thousands of people were slaughtered in the streets and hundreds of thousands had to flee their homes. Look at these pictures, look at the vultures eating the dead bodies. I know this is horrible, but I want you to understand how bad things can get, how quickly things can get out of control. You girls may well live through a time that you will have to deal first hand with this kind of atrocity."

The Partition

"People were stupid back then." Eileen says. "I don't see that happening in our country. Aren't we supposed to be having an awakening?"

Alisha continues. "Yes, our cultures worldwide have learned a lot from the 20th century tragedies. But things like this still happen, are still happening today, all around the world. Don't become complacent and think it won't happen here. It could, and many smart people think it will."

"When it got so bad in India, the religious fighting, the British decided to divide the country. The Muslims can have part of it, called Pakistan, and the Hindus can have the rest of India. That was called The Partition, but it didn't solve the fighting. Muslims in the Indian partition were persecuted and fled to Pakistan. Hindus in Pakistan were persecuted and fled to India. Tens of millions of people were displaced. Violence and disease killed a million people."

"Your Grandpa's family ended up in Pakistan and had to flee to India. They had to run out of the house and leave everything behind. Luckily your Great Grandpa had what we call now a bug-out bag. He had supplies necessary for survival all packed away and ready to go. That allowed him to take his family through the farm lands away from the cities and refugee camps where many more starved or where killed by violence."

"Today Melanie is going to show you how to prepare a bug-out bag, and then we have a big surprise. Since there is no school this week we're going to spend a week on the beach."

"The BEACH!" the girls scream.

"Which beach?" Eileen wants to know.

Melanie explains the plan. "We're going to a beach in the South Pacific. It's a beautiful little island, with white sand and clear water and palm trees. It's uninhabited, though. There are no people there. There are no building there. So it is the perfect place to learn survival skills. You will learn to fish for food, make a fire and cook them. You will learn to find roots and berries and plants that are edible, and how to prepare and cook them. Most important you will learn which plants and fish are poisonous so you can avoid them. Of course, you can spend as much time as you want playing in the water, but this trip is an important part of your training. These skills will keep you alive if things get bad."

"There will be Navy survival specialists there to help setup up tents and stuff so you won't have to sleep in the rain, and they'll be your instructors as well. Your parents are welcome to come too, if they can get off work. I think Alicia is coming along."

"How are we going to get there?" Roxana wants to know.

Melanie explains. "It's going to be a long trip, the island is very remote. First we will fly to San Diego in an airplane. Then we will take a helicopter to a Navy ship. Then when the ship gets close to the island, we will take a little boat to the island. Don't worry. We will be in radio contact at all times. It won't be like Gilligan's Island.

"Who's Gilligan?" Roxana asks.

"It's an old TV show that old people watch about people who get stranded on an island. It's dumb." Ella explains

"Helana, you've been very quiet. What do you think of our plan." Melanie asks.

"I'm just enjoying being with the people I love. It sounds like fun. I'm ready to go." Helana says.

"Is there Wi-Fi?" Roxana asks.

"Sorry, there is no Internet there. There aren't even any radio or TV stations either. But you can bring your phones and listen to music or take pictures to upload when you get home. We will show you how to setup solar chargers for your phones. The Navy instructors will have military satellite phones in case there is an emergency." Melanie explains.

Be Prepared

"What's Roxana screaming about?" Ella's mom wants to know.

"Oh, some fish guts fell on her foot and she freaked out." Ella says. "I don't think Roxana is cut out for this stuff. If we're ever lost in the woods for real, just give her a kiss and a hug and say goodbye, cuz she ain't coming home."

"Oh don't be so hard on Roxana." Alisha says. "When it comes down to it I'm sure she'll step up and be just fine. It takes some getting used to."

After a meal of fried fish and something called an MRE the girls sit down for a class with agent Rodgers. He brings 4 large back packs and opens one to teach the girls about the contents.

Pulaski AxePulaski Axe

"OK, girls. These backpacks are not for hiking in the woods. The are bug-out bags, for survival, when you have to leave home in a hurry due to a storm, an earthquake, or when the world turns upside down. I'll go through the contents and tell you what each item is for and show you how to use it. This is not military style survival, like when your plane crashes and all you have is a side arm and a pocket knife. This is for civilian use. If you join the military some day we will teach you the military style survival skills."

Rubber Grip Machete

"This first item is strapped to the outside of the bag because it's too long to go inside. It's called a Pulaski Axe. It's a very useful tool if you have to chop something, such as wood. The other item strapped to the outside is a machete. It's sort of like a sword, but not for fighting. You can use a machete to hack through branches and underbrush. The Machete is in a sheath because the blade is very sharp. Both of these items can be used as a weapon if necessary. In the future we will also include a pistol but you need to complete you weapons training first before we can do that."

"I think Eileen's got that pistol training down already." Ella says with a laugh.

The next item is Potassium Iodide. This will help you if there is a nuclear accident. It's for more than just a nuclear bomb attack. Power stations and other devices powered with nuclear energy can leak or explode, such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the Three Mile Island accident in the US, or the Chernobyl disaster in Russia.

Potassium Iodide Tablets

"Radioactive Iodine will collect in the thyroid gland, potentially leading to cancer. The Potassium Iodide, which is not radioactive, will fill up the thyroid with Iodine so that there is no place for the Radioactive Iodine to attach. You have to take the Potassium Iodide before exposure. Once Radioactive Iodine gets into the thyroid there is no way to get it out."

These pills will not protect you from a nuclear blast. If you see that coming hopefully you will already have hiked into the woods far from any city or military bases. If you join the military, though, you might be safe in an underground facility, or under water in a submarine.

First Aid kit

One of the most important items is the American Red Cross First Aid kit. It contains Antibiotic ointments, Antiseptic wipes, Gauze, Bandages, Cold Compresses, Thermometers, Scissors, and a lot of other thing that will be critically necessary if you get hurt. If you loose anything else, don't loose this kit.

"Always check your kit. Sometimes we take things from the first aid kit at home and then when we're in the wilderness, something is missing. If you dig into your bug-out bag for supplies at home be sure to replace them at your first opportunity. You won't have time, or be able to do that when a tragedy strikes."

"Roxana used to take out all the band-aids and put them all over herself. Her mom would get so mad." Eileen says.

"Shut up! Eileen." Roxana responds.

Starter Rope

"The next item is the one that most people forget, but is one of the most important. Rope. Rope can be used for hundreds of different things. If you forget rope, you may well regret it. This is called Starter Rope because it is used as the pull rope of small engines, like lawn mowers and weed trimmers. It is strong and resilient, and excellent rope for general purpose outdoor use."

"You can use your rope to tie you food in a tree to keep the animals away from it, tie up a hammock, snare a rabbit, and a hundred other things."

?>

Survival Sleeping Bag

"Here are possibly the most essential items. Clorox and coffee filters. Water is heavy and although you will certainly take some along, it is too heavy to carry enough if your going to be out for several days. So you're going to have to find water and purify it. You can filter out the dirt and leaves with the coffee filters. Add a few drops of Clorox to a gallon of water and it will kill all the bacteria and fungi and any other parasites that may be in the water. If you brought coffee grounds, then of course, you can use the filters to make coffee. Bring a funnel or one of those single cup coffee filter holders to put the filter in."

A Mylar blanket also known as an Emergency Solar Blanket

"It may be romantic to sleep under the stars, but it isn't practical. The next item is a single person tent. It's small so that it will fit easily in the back pack. It sets up quickly and has more than enough room for one person. Also important is a sleeping bag. It can get very cold, especially at night, if you have to be out in winter time. This small thin sleeping bag is warmer than it looks. It has a mylar lining that reflects back most of your body heat keeping you nice and warm. There is also a two person version of this sleeping bag too if you want to cozy up with a buddy."

"A Mylar blanket also known as an Emergency Solar Blanket comes in handy. You can wrap it around you when you're not in the sleeping bag. You can also put it under the sleeping bag for additional insulation from the cold ground."

Agent Rogers continues to go through the bug-out bags teaching them about each item. Over the next few days he demonstrates their use and has the girls practice with them. The girls are resistant at first to this survival training, but after a few days the are beginning to enjoy it. Their skills develop rapidly, skills they're going to need sooner than they think.

Hello Diary
It's me, Ella

I'm so sorry I didn't bring you with me, but I was afraid you would get lost in the woods, or dropped in the water.

We spent almost a whole week on an island in the middle of nowhere. It was scary but it was fun too. We learned how to catch fish and cook them and eat them.

We were so sore after hiking around the island, and playing in the surf. We all got tan. Well, Eileen got tan, Roxana got very brown, and I'm like totally black. My friends at school are going to freak out. We're all still white in the middle - stupid one piece suits. If agent Rodgers was a girl instead of a guy, we would have no tan lines.

Sleeping in those little tents was awful. Even with an extra blanket under it I could never get comfortable. I never got a full nights sleep. I was either too cold or too hot, never just right.

It's a good thing it didn't last longer. We were all starting to get on each others nerves. It's good to be home.

Good night, my Diary.

Chapter 11
Prophecy

This is the 22^nd episode in a series of episodes about 3 young girls who manage to adopt an inter-dimensional entity.

In this episode Helana explains the coming global extinction level events facing humanity and how we survived. She reveals her heritage as her people being of Earth but choosing to stay in an afterlife dimension rather than returning to Earth.

Dinner With Dad

"Dad, So why are we here at our favorite restaurant? What's the occasion?"

"Well, since you have been spending most of your time at Alisha's, I've missed you." Dad says. "But I have another motive too. The great mid century conflict that the artifical intelligence predicts. Do you guys know any more about that, has anything more been revealed."

"So you're here to pick Helana's brain. I knew it!" Ella says. "Go ahead, Mr. Detective, you're gong to do it no matter what anyway."

"Only with the greatest respect will I ask any questions, and you don't have to answer them. That's up to you Helana. Dad says."

"I can answer some." Helana says . "But you probably won't like what I say. You're looking for specifics, I would guess, and all I can give you is fuzzy generalities, since I changed everything by being here."

"Specifics would just change if I knew them. So generalities are fine." Dad says

"Wow! You already know some temporal dynamics. Is that how you saw me when the girls couldn't?" Helana asks.

"I've been researching everything I could find for almost 30 years." Dad says. When I was a teenager I saw a craft, an out of this world sort of craft, and it was almost like they knew me, like I knew them. I got the feeling I would see them again, when the time is right. Was that craft from your people?"

"No, we don't' travel in craft. It could have been any one of hundreds of different species, from hundreds of domains, and hundreds of time-lines, even the future." Helana explains.

"So tell me, Helana. What do you know about this future great conflict?"

"All I know is what I saw from our history, very ancient history, since my time line is millions of years in your future. Our history is as much legend as it is fact. But here is what I saw."

"From this time forward there is a growth in consciousness, many of the worlds problems, such as hunger, such as war, are made better. Countries large and small start to get along better and better. It is called an awakening, or waking up to a larger reality. A new prosperity causes a baby boom, as the population approaches 12 billion.

"As you approach the middle of your 21st century, however, that awakening reverses. People forget to be kind. Religion and the great truths it reveals go out of fashion. There is anxiety about Earth changes. The sun starts acting funny. Doom and gloom dominates literature. Fighting begins over scarce resources. But mainly, it's old fat men trying to hold onto power that results in the great conflict. The expanded consciousness diluted their power, and they want to get it back, through war."

"Before that, though, these three girls are instrumental in making things better, or at least preparing for the worst. Roxana becomes a preacher that aligned various religious factions so they cannot be used as a tool by the rulers at that time to create conflict and chaos. Eileen works in government arguing against the war mongering mentality of the time. Ella works to create banks, seed banks, technology banks, data banks, tool banks so that if the human culture is destroyed it can be put back together quickly. A solar cell and a smart phone can contain lots of important data, like a mobile encyclopedia."

"Unfortunately almost 95 percent of all life on the planet is wiped out. Humanity is reduced to numerous small enclaves around the planet. All the coastal civilizations are totally destroyed. Were it not for the efforts of these three girls humanity may not have survived at all."

"These three. But now there are four." Dad says

"Yes. That's why everything will be different from what I saw. There will be many more than just four. Thousands will be following and supporting the efforts of these girls. The wild card is me, there was a time line where I was not here, and now I am. That will make it different. How much different no one knows. My mother in my domain says they feel great ripples in the temporal fields. Indicating great changes along the time line. My past, your future, is now different than it once was. I just wish I knew what my place is to be in this new future. I know what the girls are good at, but I don't know about me. I'm feeling kind of lost."

"Can your parents look to see what will be different?" Dad asks.

"Oh no!" Helana says. "To try to view the past or future when it is in flux can have catastrophic consequences. They dare not look. In fact, the temporal turbulence would block their attempts to look anyway."

"Does this mean that there are two different time-lines, that we're switching from a time-line where you did not come here, to a time-line where you did come?" Dad asks.

"There is what is called the multiple time-line hypothesis or the many worlds hypothesis. What my people have experienced is that each domain is separate and unique, there is only one copy of it, and there is only one time-line through it. The time-line can change, it can twist and turn, but any change requires the re-balancing of temporal inertia, spacial inertia, and experiential inertia. Even small changes can require massive, planet sized, amounts of energy to create that balance. So something different is happening here." Helana explains.

"What kind of difference?" Dad asks.

"Legend has it that millions of years in my past, entities called level 10 entities, replaced life on planet Earth after a catastrophe that wiped out all living things. Only level 10 entities, those that live as one with the One Infinite Creator, can make those kinds of changes in the time-line without blowing it all up. There seems to be some sort of intervention, by these entities, or by the One Infinite Creator itself. They can change time-lines, or anything else, simply by thinking about it differently. To them, what we call our reality is like a lucid dream. They can change it just by wanting it to be different. But we can't do that at our level."

"So in other words, Divine Intervention."

"Yes, you could say that."

"Someone must be praying." Roxana says.

"I pray almost constantly now." Dad says.

"I've started to pray too." Ella says. "I don't' buy all that religious nonsense but I pray to whatever source created this place, just in case."

"Do my girls survive the great conflict? I will be very old then so I suspect I don't survive. You girls will be in your 40's, much to young to die."

"Yes our girls survive and are instrumental in putting human culture back together, so that by the beginning of the 22nd century there are over a billion humans buzzing around on the planet again. Since our girls are all highly respected individuals with connections to high places in government I would suspect that they secured your safety as well. You, Our Earth parents will be in your 70's and 80's so you're most likely still alive and survivors. Since I'm part of the equation now, I will do my best to make sure of it."

"Ok. You mentioned a time when all life on earth will be destroyed. How and when does that happen?"

"That's mostly legend, but here is what I was taught. Early in the first half of the 22nd century something very strange happened. We don't actually know what caused it, A solar mini-nova, a nearby black hole, a direct hit from a cosmic jet? There are numerous hypothesis. The strange thing is that when it happened, it seemed to originate on Earth, and propagate faster than light across the entire solar system."

"How is that possible?" Ella asks.

"Well, here is the hypothesis of my teachers. There was a multi-planet communication system that uses some sort of scalar wave technology to create a message network that's almost instantaneous even if you're on earth speaking to someone on a moon of Neptune. It would take about 8 hours for a signal to reach Neptune at light speed and return."

"We suppose that there was an unfortunate interaction between this communication system and cellular processes. You see, inside each of your cells is a massive computer system which manages the cellular processes. There are computers you would call analog, other you would call digital, and even more that take advantage of quantum uncertainties. These little processors are distributed throughout the cell, even in the structural components, such as the membranes and the micro-tubules. Apparently something happened that shut off these little computers, and just like turning off a light switch, every living thing in the entire solar system instantly died. Only a few virus were left. Even underground facilities were wiped out. The Moon and Mars colonies ceased to exist. It all happened in a few seconds."

"You said life was replaced?" Dad asks.

"Yes, but there is more to the story. The DNA inside your cells, all cells, is multi-dimensional by nature. DNA can act as a prism that can bend a small amount of light from your dense domain into the lighter domains, like the one I come from. So while you're alive in this domain, you're also alive in other domains, you just don't realize it. So when the dense body dies, the less dense copy of it in the lighter dimensions continues, pulling the necessary energy from the collective soul, where all life energy originates."

"When life processes stopped in your domain, they didn't stop in domains like mine. All the people from Earth and Mars and the Moon found themselves in one domain or another, just as if nothing happened, they just didn't remember anything about Earth. We don't know why but there are consciousness filters that kick in when you transverse domains, and you usually forget everything about where you came from. It seems that these filters protect you from contaminating the new domain with junk from the old one. The Earth survivors just went forward in time as if that new domain they found themselves in was the only one they ever knew. Your domain is referred to as a Level 3 domain. My domain, and the domains the Earth people found themselves in, are referred to as a Level 5 domain. Some people call it the afterlife, or Heaven. But there isn't just one Heaven, there are countless Heavens, as many as can be imagined."

Helana continues. "After over 3000 years living in Level 5, the memories of the Earth people began to return. With the help of entities from other Levels, with equipment similar to what was used to bring me physically into your domain, dozens of groups of people were brought back to Planet Earth, and repopulated it. Most of the plants and animals were brought back as well. The Earth had life again after about 12 to 13 thousand years of being a dead planet. Many, however, chose to stay in Level 5, and I am descended from those who stayed in Level 5. So you're my ancestors, I am of Earth, as are you."

"So what is Earth like in your time?" Dad asks.

"Our particular Level 5 domain used to be tightly coupled with Earth, but over the millions of years we have evolved in different directions. Our human DNA template in Level 5 is basically unchanged, which is why I look just like you, but on Earth, it changed a lot. We no longer see Earth, feel her, or visit her anymore. The sun has become increasingly unstable and life is difficult there. Most humans, or what they became, are scattered across the galaxies now. Solar flaring has dramatically increased and most of Earth life is underground or underwater. Earth has fulfilled her destiny as our mother, creating countless life forms that now live all over creation, but her life, Earth life, is slowly fading away."

"How many millions of years are we talking about?" Dad asks.

"It's difficult to say exactly how many, since we're no longer temporally locked with Earth. The estimate is about 500 million, but it could be 200 million, or a billion. There was talk of building giant solar sails coupled with anti-graviton generators to slowly push Earth away from the sun, keeping it in a habitual zone. But that would just delay the inevitable. A solar system can't live long with a dying sun."

"You speak of these things as if you're a old scientist, not a 14 year old girl." Day says.

"I'm just repeating what some old scientist told me in school." Helana says. "But I've noticed that it is harder and harder to remember this stuff. I'm acclimating to this domain, on this time-line, and I'm afraid I'm forgetting who I was in the other domain. It seems some consciousness filters are kicking in for me and I'm becoming just another 14 year old girl on Planet Earth. I hope I don't forget everything."

"That must be like those kids who are born with past life memories. After a few years those memories tend to fade away." Dad says. "I have questions about that too, but that's for another day."

"You won't forget." Ella says. "I won't let you forget. Plus we have night school, that will refresh your memory."

"I guess so." Helana says. "I think I'm having a little identity crisis about now. Thank you Ella, please don't let me forget."

Pillow Talk

Later at the Danvers house. "Ok girls. I'm glad to have you here and give Alisha a break. I hope my daughters will be coming home soon. Whatever those reasons were that made you leave, they're all gone now." Eileen's mother says.

"Thank you Mrs Danvers." Ella says. "We appreciate your hospitality."

"Hospitality? Ha! You girls have lived here just as much as anywhere else your whole life. You're all my girls." Mrs Danvers says. "Roxana, you can stay with Eileen and Ella, you can stay in Helana's room."

"Perfect!" Ella says.

"Ella? Do you like it dark, or with the night light on?" Helana asks.

"I have my book light, so dark is fine." Ella says.

"Ok. Ella? Can I ask you a question?" Helana asks.

"You just did." Ella says. "But yeah. What do you want to know?"

"Which boys at school do you like? I don't want us liking the same boy. That could be a problem, since we're like twins." Helana asks.

"I don't like any of them, so you can have any boy you want." Ella says.

"Really?" Helana seems surprised. "Do you prefer girls then?"

"Oh God No! Girls irritate the crap out of me." Ella says. "Except for my girls, of course. I love you guys."

"I'm confused then." Helana says. "Do you not want relationships?"

"Someday, maybe." Ella says. "I just don't have the time right now. I want to learn everything I can in high school and then be done with it. I want to learn everything I can in night school. I want to learn everything I can in College, get my degree, get a job, get a house and a car and all that stuff. Then, if there are any great guys left in the world, I'll consider a relationship."

"But don't you dream, about relationships, what they'll be like, what it will be like to be married, to have kids, to have that kind of life?" Helana asks.

"I have no idea what it would be like to date, much less be married. But yes, from time to time I dream about that stuff. But I put those dreams aside. If even a little bit of what you have predicted about the future is true, I'm not going to have much time for husbands, or kids. Anyway, I have all the relationships I need right here. I don't have to go looking for anything else."

"Oh. I hope I didn't change things so much that you can't be the happy wife I saw. I hope I didn't mess everything up for you." Helana says, starting to tear up.

"No, don't worry about that stuff." Ella says. "I did want to be just a stay at home mom, like my mom, but recently I've been changing my mind. But it doesn't have anything to do with your crazy predictions. I'm not sure any of that's even real. It could all be just imagination. I'm going to go into the future with no expectations. I'm not going to tie myself to some imaginary time line just because someone said I should. And you shouldn't either. Lets face the future one day at a time and see what happens. I bet it will be totally different than anyone expects."

"I'm kind of scared." Helana says. "I have seen what you can become, and Roxana, and Eileen. But for me I've seen nothing. I have no idea what is to become of me, what I'm supposed to do, what I'm supposed to become."

"Forget that future stuff, Helana." Ella says. "You're not 'supposed' to do anything except be your best self that you can be every day and let the future happen. None of us know our future, and like you said, seeing the future changes it anyway. You're alive on a totally messed up but still wonderfully beautiful planet. Just enjoy being alive."

"Ok. I will do that. I will just enjoy being alive, and let the future happen as it will. But I dream a lot, about relationships. In fact I think I dream about them all the time now."

"That's just chemistry. Your hormones are active. Your hormones want you to run out the door, find the first guy that smiles at you, and start popping out babies. That's the best way to totally wreck your future. You need to work on keeping that under control."

"I will work on that. Will you help me, keep it under control?" Helana asks.

"I will always help you, with anything. I love you more than anything, my twin. And when it is time for you to date, I will help you then too. And if he hurts you, then he will get hurt."

"If I love him, please don't hurt him." Helana says.

"You better pick a good one then. I'm very protective of you, if you haven't noticed." Ella says.

"Yes. I noticed. I love you more than anything too, Ella. Thank you for protecting me."

Hello Diary
It's me, Ella
I don't know about all this stuff, this future stuff. I love Helana, but I don't think that looking 500 million years in the past is going to show you anything that's accurate. It's probably all made up. Except us, of course, we're real. But all this other stuff, wars, us girls saving the world, I just don't feel it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Mr Danvers is eating all this up like candy. I bet if it wasn't for his security oath he would be blogging his UFO Conspiracy buddies right now. He would be the latest whistle blower telling what will happen and how the Earth will be destroyed. It's dumb.

I'm glad I'm with my Helana tonight. I missed her so much. Talk about changing the future. Who would have predicted she would show up in my life. I don't care if she totally erased my future, made it a blank slate, as long as she's part of it, I'm happy. She's asleep, and I can hear her breathing. This is my dream.

Good night, my Diary.
