Lyanna Asher: That's incredible.
Angela Veer: I agree it definitely changes things about George Vanderbilt's family history that's for sure.
Alexander Vanderbilt: Do we have any information on his William yet?

William Vanderbilt: Agree.
Lyanna Asher: Where do you want to start?
William Vanderbilt: How about we talked about the dreams that we've been having about each other.
Lyanna Asher: How long have you had dreams about me?
William Vanderbilt: I've been having dreams about you ever since I was three years old.
Lyanna Asher: That's how old I was. When i started having dreams about you as well.
William Vanderbilt: What was your first dream about me? If you don't mind me asking.
Lyanna Asher: My first dream of you was when you were a young man meeting your adoptive mother for the first time.
William Vanderbilt: That was definitely one of the most stressful and most nervous times in my life that's for sure.
Lyanna Asher: I'm sure it was. I would be to if I was meeting a possible new mom for the first time.
William Vanderbilt: But she turned out to be a very kind woman towards me. She was also very patient with me when it came to about what I should call her.
Lyanna Asher: I believe that is the kind of person she is.
William Vanderbilt: You're right about that.
Lyanna Asher: If you don't mind me asking. What was the first dream that you had of me?
William Vanderbilt: The day you were born.
Lyanna Asher: The day that I was born.
William Vanderbilt: That is correct. I never forgot that dream. It has been with me ever since I was three years old.
Lyanna Asher: What did you see. If you don't mind me asking.
William Vanderbilt: Well the first image that I saw of you. You were born in a strange color.
Lyanna Asher: I see. Well please bare with me when I try to explain this. I was born as a blue baby. A blue baby is a child born when you were deprived of oxygen for a certain period of time.
William Vanderbilt: How did it happen?
Lyanna Asher: It happened while I was still in my mother's womb. The cord that I was attached to. Some how it managed to get wrapped around my neck and it choked me which was the cause of me being deprived of oxygen.
William Vanderbilt: How did you manage to survive all of that? If you don't mind me asking.
Lyanna Asher: If it weren't for the heroic efforts of the physicians. I wouldn't be alive today. So I am grateful everyday.
William Vanderbilt: I can understand. That's a good way at looking at things. That's for sure.
Lyanna Asher: What did you see after that?
William Vanderbilt: The next thing that I saw was a strange kind of bed and there was all of these strange things all over your body. The room also looked very strange as well.
Lyanna Asher: Before you say anything. Please let me explain everything to you ok. Promise?
William Vanderbilt: Ok I promise.
Lyanna Asher: You see when I was born. I was born on December 18, 1993. Eighty-six years into the future. That room I was in it was called a Neto care unit. It's a place where babies stay at so the doctors can keep an eye on you and take care of you until you get stronger after a rough birth or other complications. I was there for a few days until I could breathe on my own and to make sure there weren't any other complications from my birth. William? Say something?
William Vanderbilt: I believe you.
Lyanna Asher: You do?
William Vanderbilt: Yes I do. Lyanna I've been having dreams about you my entire life. I know that you're from a different time period. I just don't know how you got to my time in the first place.
Lyanna Asher: It was a through a pond here on the estate.
William Vanderbilt: Wait are you talking about the pond inside the forest?
Lyanna Asher: That is correct.
William Vanderbilt: If you don't mind me asking what made you jump into the pond? Did you know that it had the ability of time travel?
Lyanna Asher: To be honest I had no idea at all and also I didn't jump in there by choice or by accident. Someone from my time pushed me in there. So they must have known that it was special and knew that I could travel through it.
William Vanderbilt: Who do you think who would do that to you?
Lyanna Asher: To be honest I have no idea. That's something that I'm going to have to figure out. That's for sure.
