Jan lies in bed, looking at the photos on her phone. She looks for a long time at the picture of her parents and then smiles when she sees the photo of Tom in the living room. Then she goes to sleep.
A loud noise wakes Jan up suddenly. She looks at the alarm clock. It's five o'clock. Then she hears the noise again. It's thunder. Then she hears a different noise. It's the sound of something hitting the window. She gets up and goes to the window. She can see Tom standing outside in the rain. He's shouting at Jan, telling her to come outside.
Jan gets dressed, puts on her anorak(夹克) and goes downstairs quietly, trying not to wake up Tom's parents. She meets Tom outside. "What are you doing, Tom?""The storm, "he says. "it's the same storm asThursday night. Let's go to the tree. Maybe you can go home!"
Jan follows Tom down the road, then she remember s something. "The time capsule(胶囊)!"
Tom shows her the biscuit tin under his jacket. "I've got it. "They walk quickly back down the road past Jamie's
house and Pauly's house. It seems so long since she arrived here in the past. And now maybe there's the possibility that she can return to the future. They run up the path through the trees and arrive at the place with the apple tree. "Now what do we do?"asks Jan. "Iput the time capsule back where I found it and . . . ""And I go home. ""Yes. "
Tom uses his hands to di g a hole by the tree. He buries(埋) the time capsule and then stands up. Jan suddenly realizes something. "Tom! I want to give you something from the time capsule. ""I don't want anything. It's more important for you to go home. "Jan feels sad that Tom doesn't want something to remember her. But he's right. The important thing is to get home. "I'm never going to forget you, Tom. Thanks. You're a real friend. ""Bye, Jan. Look for me in the future. Promise?""I promise. "
Then he turns and runs back to the trees. Jan watches his shadow(影子) disappear(消失) into the trees. A sudden flash(闪光) of lightening illuminates(照射) the scene(场景) followed by a loud crash of thunder. Jan looks around and sees her house. She's back in the garden of her house in HamptonStreet.
