same way towards each other.
     
    "If the original two boys died in 2008, how will we survive?" Seth asked.
     
    "They didn't have the guts to admit their feelings. Something inside of you both made you not care what others thought. It means that the future of Scott and Chris will be different than the first time. OH, and Jonathan I know you are worried about running into your younger self. You won't. If you remember back a few years, you never interacted with Chris or Scott. It means that if you avoid the boys home, you won't see him. When your other self gets to middle school things will be different. By that time the two of you will be gone from China Grove and off to college. He will be sent to this time again, and everything will be okay."
     
    "I don't understand much of what you're saying Mr. Yu, but as long as everything turns out okay in your time...."
     
    "Once all this is done, you two will know that you have succeeded. Trust me on that. We will monitor your progress here, and when it is all done we will let you know. It won't be perfect back in the past. There are still tests for the two of you. They aren't ones that we thought up though. These are natural ones that come with life."
     
    "If we don't know exactly what to do, how will we do what is needed?"
     
    "You make it up as you go alone Seth. You both have gifts that will be available from now on. Seth, you were a wrestler during your adventure to the past but you also will be a writer. You still have that ability and now you can use it to reach people through the net. Jonathan, as a person living in a boys home in 2015 your dream was computers. You studied them in books and in a class in school. That, and the skills that you will have back then will help you both."
     
    "Will it be enough?" Jonathan asked.
     
    "I don't know for sure, so I gave you both a few other abilities while you were in this time. I won't tell you what they are, but you'll have to find out on your own."
     
    "We know one of them. We both can think the same thing when need be. An image of my wrestling opponent came into both our minds and we knew that his family needed the money from the tournament. It was more important to let him win, than to win and try to get him to take the first place money."
     
    "It was how I knew you were mature enough for this next part of your lives. You are both going to do such great things. I just can't wait to see you both when you are older. If you both do not fail, we will meet again."
     
    Mr. Yu told them it was time to go. He programmed the windows for the exact second they had left the past, and the two boys walked through the windows into the past. This time they were not scared at all.
     
    "I love you," Chris said to Scott. Both boys knew their real identities, but would never be able to use their real names ever again.
     
    "Boys, we need to go," Chris' mother said.
     
    News got around quickly about the wrestler and the new boy. Boys wouldn't hurt either of them, because they knew that together the two boys could do a lot of damage. Chris taught Scott to fight, and both started a lifting program to get fit as can be.
     
    Over the next few months they kept to themselves afterschool, spending time at one or the others home studying. At the end of May they were told that both had been accepted into the early college program. They would be attending at the local college from 9 to 4:30 starting half way through August.

Chapter Seven:
     
    Some students thought teasing Chris when his father went to jail would be funny. They didn't expect the kind of mouth Scott had on him. He could let loose a string of swear words at them, under his breath, and let them know that if they didn't stop bullying his boyfriend, they would be found in a shallow grave.
     
    It didn't take long before the two were treated with respect.
     
    During the spring the trial was held. Chris' father was sent to jail upstate for 25 years. Many afternoons after school Chris would
