This is my first story i've ever written on this site! Hope you enjoy! (If you like this story, please reveiw!)

"Terra Nova!" Rylie and Jay both yelled as they got ahead of their dad.

"Wait! Don't get ahead, we still have the opening message!" their dad Jeff ran ahead for them as they were all stopped by soldiers at the very front.

"Don't get too excited, sir." a familiar voice said. A soldier with the name tag "M. Reynolds" appeared in front of him.

"Mark!" Jeff shouted as he gave him a manly hug.

"Nice to see you to, man. What are you doing in Terra Nova?" Mark gave him a questioned face as they both walked forward.

"Well, we won the lottery for the 15th pilgrimage, we decided to come. No rebreathers either!" Jeff gave him a huge smile and headed off to find his kids.

In the front row, Rylie and Jay were listening to Commander Taylor giving his speech.

"Welcome to Terra Nova folks!" the commanders words meant that everyone new could settle down and get situated.

"When will we see our new home?" Rylie asked. Her face was sweaty, and her long dark brown hair was slightly against her face. The slight wind blew her hair back, and Jay ran up beside her. His blonde hair and grey eyes made him a spitting image of his father.

Jeff breathed hard. "Soon," he said hesitantly, "follow me."

When they got to the front door, Jay snached the keys from his dad and threw open the door. The fresh sent of the room led everyone inside. There were three rooms, one for Jay, one for Rylie, and one for Jeff.

"God, I'm hungry!" the fridge burst open as Jay grabbed the only food that seemed to be in there. A blue drink was in his hand, and he had a suspicious look on his face.

"What the heck is this?" Jay's tone sent the other two laughing hysterically.

"Dummy!" Rylie said holding back her laugh, "It's what we have to eat for the next few days, remember? We didn't watch the movie about Terra Nova for nothing!"

Well, Jeff thought, Rylie was always the smart one.

At that point, they were all telling jokes and drinking the mysterious liquid they food in the fridge. Every sip of it caused them to cringe at the horrible taste.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Jeff, holding back his tears from laughter, opened the door to find his old friend Mark and a teenage girl.

"Hey, man!" Jeff welcomed Mark and the girl inside their home.

Mark P.O.V.

After I saw good ol' Jeff at the portal, I was tempted to see him again. He was my Dads best friend, but we excepted him like family. Seeing him with two kids made him want to catch up with him.

I saw Maddy in the marketplace as I said goodbye to Jeff. She was buying fruits, vegetables, and some juice. I ran up to her and put my hands over her dark brown eyes.

"Guess who!" I said as she picked up an apple.

She quickly turned around and put her head on my chest.

"You can't fool me, Mr. Reynolds." she said as she gave me a light kiss.

"Well, you can't fool me either, Ms. Shannon." I quickly made out with her, then she payed for the food.

We returned to our home so Maddy could put down the food she had bought.

"Do you want to tag along with me today? I'm going to see my old friend Jeff." I looked at her for about 10 seconds before she answered.

"Umm... Sure, I don't have anything to do." she looked apon me as I smiled.

We walked together, holding hands as we took our stroll across Terra Nova. I still didn't know where Jeff's house was, so I went up to Lieutenant Washington. She knew everything.

"Hey, Lieutenant Washington, do you happen to know where Jeff Washington... Hey you guys have the same last name! Is he your cousin or something?" I couldn't believe I actually said that. That was sooooooo babyish.

"He's not my cousin!" she said so fast I could hardly make out what she said. She ran off in frustration, and left Maddy and I not knowing where Jeff's house was.
