The Omega Timeline.

Chapter 4: Roses are red, violets are blue, they’re from a different timeline and so are you - By SunnyFox57

The stairs to the floating mansion went up super high. “Wow look at all those stairs!” Jay exclaimed. Jack smirked. “I’ll race you up them! I bet I can beat you slowpoke. ” He said. Jay scowled. “Yeah right, I could beat you in a hurricane.” Jay boasted.

“Could not!”

“Could too!”

“Could not!”

“Could too!”

“Could not!”

“Could too!”

“Hush.” Arianna said. The twins fell silent at the look of warning on their mother’s face. Arianna and Aragorn lead the way, walking hand and hand. “Look. There’s two people sitting on the stairs.” Jay whispered to Jack. “I wonder who they are. Hobos?” Jack asked. Jay rolled his eyes. “Probably not. Their aren’t any hobos nowadays.”

The two mysterious people were teenagers, one a girl and the other a boy. The girl had jet black hair with ruby red stripes running down it up in a ponytail, bright friendly hazel eyes and wore glasses. The boy had black hair, blue eyes and also wore glasses, freckles littered his face. He had a slightly pale look on his face, probably was afraid of heights or something that’s probably why they weren’t going up the stairs. They got to their feet when they saw the Petersons.

“OMG, Neddy, look at her hair! It’s red like mine!” The girl whispered excitedly to her friend. She waved at them and called to Emma, “Girl, your hair is SO pretty!” Emma looked very surprised but she still smiled friendily at the girl. Arianna and Aragorn looked at the teenagers. “Wow look Emma! Someone who actually likes your red hair!” Jack whispered sarcastically. Emma glared at him and Jay’s smirking faces. Aragorn tightened his grip slightly on Arianna’s hand and balled the other into a tight fist.

One of the teenagers, the boy, gulped and whispered something to the girl. She rolled her eyes and lowered her hand slowly. “Hi!” The girl called. “I’m Ruby! And this is my friend Neddy! Who are y’all?” Aragorn flexed his jaw. “We are the Petersons.” He said stiffly. Arianna nudged him.

“Hi Ruby. I’m Arianna Peterson. Sorry if my husband seems a little stiff. He’s really sweet actually….deep down….very very deep down.” Arianna said. Aragorn snorted and watched Ruby’s friend with narrowed eyes. Neddy fidgeted nervously. “This is Aragorn my husband(Arianna motioned to Aragorn) and these are three of my children. Emma, Jack and Jay.” Arianna said sweetly.

Ruby smiled. “Nice to meet you guys. So what are y’all doing?” She asked. “We’re here to see what all this rubbish is about.” Aragorn replied coldly. Neddy chuckled nervously. Arianna gave her husband a sharp look. “We’re here to see what this floating mansion is.” Arianna said. “Aren’t y’all? It’s a littttle creepy that y’all are just sitting here on the bottom of the steps.” Jay said.

Emma shot him a “Don’t be rude” look. “We brought some friends with us. Me and Ruby just stayed her because I’m…a tad bit afraid of heights.” Neddy said. Ruby laughed. “A “tad bit” is a understatement. You’re okay though.” Ruby said, grinning slyly at him. Jack and Jay both faked gagging.

“Well don’t mind us, we’re just going to slip by and head up there. In fact….y’all can come with us! The more the merrier!” Arianna exclaimed. Aragorn gave a audible groan. Arianna glared at him. “Ja-Aragorn!” Aragorn gritted his teeth. “Fine.” He growled.

“Race you to the top!” Jay and Jack said at the same time. “No running boys.” Arianna told them. Jack and Jay groaned with disappointment. They all began to walk up the stairs. “I really love what you’ve done with your hair. Is it dyed or is it just naturally like that?” Emma complimented Ruby as they walked up the stairs. They continued talking as they walked.

Jack and Jay rolled their eyes. “Girls.” They snorted. Finally they came to the large oak doors that led into the mansion. Aragorn opened the door.

They all looked inside to see……something wonderful. Something magnificent. Something extraordinary…..
