(Elliot's POV)

"When, are they going to decide?" I ask. Savannah shrugs and leans on Julian's shoulder, "I'm tired." She closes her eyes for a brief second before the town crier begin to shout, "They have voted!!! The Indian Removal Act is passed!" Belle gasps, "Wait. What happens now?" Savannah rips the paper out from Julian's hands, "What does this thing say?" She flips it over, "Quote, "If you fail to complete the task, you better like where your at. Your stuck here, forever. You might want to adjust to no wifi, no cell phones (possibly), no rights, and no cars. Good luck, my friends." End quote," Savannah says more and more defeated.

    She stands up and runs up to the councilman. "Hey! Hey, you! Is there anyway, this can be reversed?" She asks him. He looks at her strangely, "Yes, the president can veto it, but why would you care?" She doesn't answer his question and walks back to us. "Let's go find the president," she says. "Where is the president?" Belle asks. She shrugs and keep walking. She walks up to a man, "Hey, you. What do you link of the Indian Removal Act?" He crosses his arms, "I think it's quite idiotic. Why do you care?"

    She storms towards him, "Okay, look. I care because, I can...God I hate the 1800's...Me and my friends are going to find the president and get this thing reversed. Would you like to help us?" He nods, "Fine. But, we're going to need some horses." Yes! "So, where do we get horses, sir?" I ask him. He is taken aback when I speak. He grins, "I'll take care of it. You have a weird accent. Let me guess, you folks aren't from around here." Julian shakes his head, "No. We're from somewhere, where some people talk like her and others talk like us. And a place where women speak their minds, a place where there is no slavery. A place that's much better than here." The man considers Julian's words, "Well, that's quite the place. I'll have to get used to you folks. What are your names?" he says.

     "I'm Savannah, this is Elliot, this is Belle, and this is Julian." Savannah says. "Hmm, Julian? That's a strange name. I'm John. Now, Belle, do you speak?" he says. She giggles, "Yes." John smirks, "How old are you guys? You look kind of young." Savannah sighs, "Well, that's because we are pretty young." she says. "I'm 21." I say. "You are old. What do you mean young?" he asks. "I'm the oldest. Julian is only 18." I respond. "Oh, still old. What about that ladies?" He asks. "I'm 16." Savannah says. "I'm 13," Belle says. "13? Oh, that's not too young, but you should be at home. What are you doing here?" He asks. "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me," is all Belle answers. "What do you mean by 21 is old?" I ask. He seems surprised, "Well, most people only live to be 38 or 39." My jaw drops, "38? That's it?" Savannah shakes her head, "I forgot. That's why. Where we come from people live to be up to 100 years old. The oldest person is 117." He is shocked, "That's strange, well, you are all very young, I suppose."

     We eventually leave to find horses. "I have three horses. Do any of you know how to ride a horse?" John asks. "I do." Belle says. "I have once," I say. I mean, it was at summer camp in 4th grade, but it counts. Neither Savannah or Julian had ridden before. "Okay, Miss Savannah, do you want to ride with Elliot?" John asks. "That's fine." She says. "And are you two alright together?" he asks Julian and Belle. Belle nods.

     Belle climbs on her horse gracefully. Savannah however, is not so coordinated. I watch as she attempts to jump up the first time. She slings her leg over, like Belle did, and falls off the other direction. She pops up, "I got it. Second time's the charm" She jumps up and sit on the horse, "That wasn't so..." She didn't get to finish her sentence before sliding off the way she came. Belle giggles, watching Savannah's attempts. "Do you need some help?" John asks. She nods, "Yes, please." Thomas lifts her up and places her on the horse. "Okay, this isn't so bad." She says. Now it's my turn, "Um, I haven't ridden a horse in like 12 years and I just got shot, so bear with me." Savannah look at me, "Oh, good luck." John grabs a stool from the barn and puts it up by the horse, "There is no way I'm lifting you up, muscle man." He helps me up onto the stool and Savannah helps me onto the horse. Julian climbs on in one try. "How'd you do that?" Savannah asks. "I've never ridden a horse, but I used to ride the mechanical bulls at the circus." he says. John look at Julian oddly, "What a mechanically bull?" He glances around, "Um, it's a fake bull. You see how long you can stay on it" "Oh." John says.

    John takes the lead and we follow behind. Belle and Thomas show Savannah how to move the horse. Yeah, I remember nothing from summer camp. We ride for a few hours, and it's so slow.

      "Well, we're going to be like this for a while. Let's get know each better," I say to Savannah. "Okay. What's your full name? I don't even know your last name," she says. "My full name? It's Elliot P. Foster. What's yours?" I say. "Mine is Savannah Sage
Sorrentino. What's the P stand for?" she replies. "Wow, your parents must like s's. I don't know what it stands for. My middle name is actually "P." Like not p-e-e or p-e-a it's literally the letter p." She laughs.

     "So, what's your favorite colour?" she asks. "My favorite color? Oh, definitely green. What's yours" I say. "Green? Ew. I love grey. It's so me." She says. She's right she's so grey. I don't know why, she just is.

     It's starting to get dark. "Are you all ready to stop for the night. It's getting too dark," John says, stopping his horse. Savannah slows the horse, "Sure." Belle and Julian slide off with ease, Savannah falls on her face and I manage to get down with help. John grabs some wood, "I'll start a fire. I brought some meat for cooking." It made realize I hadn't eaten since we left 2017. I'm starving.

       He cooks up the meat and some beans. John gives us all equal portions in a metal dish. Savannah stabs her meat, "You know, normally I'm a vegetarian, but I haven't eaten in what, 54 years? So, I'm just going to eat this...be-chi-po...meat happily." John glares at her, "54 years? You must be joking. You're only 16." Julian shakes his head, "She's not lying. It's been 54 years, plus." He laughs, "Your joking." Belle laughs, "No, we really haven't eaten in 54 years." We haven't. "We should tell him." I say. "We should. He won't believe us, not now, but later. We should tell him," Julian says. Belle nods, but we all wait for Savannah's approval. "Oh, go for, what is he gonna do? He's not going to believe us." she says. He looks at us, "What?" We laugh, "We're time travelers from the year 2017." He shakes his head, "Time travel? What are you talking about?" Julian smirks, "We were born 169 years after today. We move years, so like you could go back in time to 1745 if you wanted to. This is really long ago for us." He looks constipated thinking about it, "Woah. So you are from ahead of time?" I nod, "Yeah, we call it the future, this is the past." He smiles, "Wait, can you tell what's going to happen soon?" Savannah smirks, "The next president will be Martin Van Buren." He laughs, "I'll see."

     We all ahead off to bed, John only packed two blankets, so we had four in total. "Okay, so you sir, Elliot, you can have this one. Since you got shot," John said. I take it happily, I don't mind sharing, but I won't complain to have my own. "I'll take my own, since I don't know any of you," he says. "And the young lady should get one and you two can share," he says pointing to Julian and Savannah. "Okay. That's fine, why us though?" Julian asks. "Well, I figured you were either married or courting her. You look at her a lot," John says. "Well, we are not married," Savannah says. I try not to laugh at Julian's explanation. "I'm not courting her, I just..," he starts. Belle looks like she's about to explode with laughter. I think everyone knew he liked Savannah, except for maybe Savannah. He always made excuses for wanting to share a blanket, but he got stuck with Belle. Julian also tended to walk near her. "I.. I'm not...I don't know why you think that," Julian says. Savannah laughs, "Okay, whatever blanket buddy."

    They went to bed, even after John protested about it not being proper, but Savannah didn't give a crab. The next day, we got up, ate more beans and set off. After hours of riding, and small talk, we made it to the White House. It was different then we knew, less nice.

      We just waltz right in and no one cared. "We need to see the president," John said. "He'll see you in fifteen minutes," the receptionist says. "That was easy," I say. "Yeah, there is no security. Lincoln hasn't been shot yet," Savannah says. We see the president and it's a little surreal. "We need to talk to you about the Indian Removal Act," John says. "Ah, John Quincy Adams," Jackson says. John Quincy Adams??? Like the 7th President??  "Wait? You're John Quincy Adams?" I say. He nods, "Yes?" "Wait, like the the president?" Belle asks. He nods. "Woah. I didn't know he was a president," I hear Savannah mutter under her breath. "That's how we just walked right in," Julian says. John and the president talk and ultimately agree that he will veto the bill. Thankfully.

     We were offered rooms in the White House, so we could stay there until he signed the bill. Life in the White House was pretty boring, but Belle seemed to have fun exploring and pointed out the differences. She spent a lot of time in here with her father. Every night we got to eat with occasional the president, otherwise just his family.

      I was offered medical treatment, but I declined. Savannah probably did a better job than they would. We all got new outfits, compliments of the president. I got a very nineteenth century looking outfit with long cream trousers, a blue button best, and the strangest coat. It was tight at the waist, but poofy towards the hips. Julian got one too, the girls laughed at us. Their dress were...big. Savannah walks out in this giant blue dress. It reminded me of the dress that Cinderella wore. My niece would be thrilled to see this. "How do walk in this thing," Savannah says standing, frozen. Belle takes a step out in an identical dress and fall. "Oomph," she grunts. Her dress was just like Savannah's except yellow and it showed off more shoulder. Savannah's had giant shoulder poof's while Belle's had an off the shoulder style neck. Belle looks up, "How do you breathe in these?" One of the women watching smiles, "You'll get used to the corset, it's got to be tight." The woman helps Belle up, "Your friend over there, doesn't even fit into a corset, we just wrapped her rib cage. She doesn't need one. Maybe you'll be like her some day. Just eat less," says the woman before exiting the room. "Well, that was mean," Julian says. "It's true. I just never thought I'd have to wear a corset to prove it." she says. The woman walks back in, "Don't feel bad sweetie, her legs are gross, she's got weird fat," and says to Belle talking about Savannah. "Weird fat? What?" Savannah says. The woman doesn't answer. Savannah pulls up her dress. I look at her legs, "She's talking about your quads. Your muscle." Savannah smiles, "Oh!" Belle laughs and then started to wheeze, "I can't laugh with this stupid corset." I walk towards the girls, "At least we don't have to wear a corset." Savannah laughs, "Yeah, sorry Belle."

    The woman enters again, "Men don't. And you sir would need one for your muscles, not fat," she says running her finger down my chest. Savannah is laughing silently. She walks into a different room. "Well, your attractive in both 2017 and 1830," Belle says. I laugh, "Uh, thanks, Belle." Savannah smirks, "It's true." I smile, that must take a lot coming from her, she's a princess, like look at her.

It took three days for Jackson to sign the bill, apparently the pony express is really slow. It arrived eventually, we were actually all eating dinner with John and the president's family when we moved years. I remember their faces, "What's happening to you?" "Why are you getting lighter??" I remember the John saying, "They're time travelers!" Just before we actually disappeared. I wonder what happened to him. I guess I'll find out in a few minutes.
