Keefe's POV: 

Communicating with Foster has been amazing. I was worried for a moment that I might lose her forever, thanks to my terrible parental figures. But then I remembered something Foster had told me before the dreams ended. She said, 'Keefe, look at me. You are not going to lose me. Not now, not ever.' That reassured me and kept me from shedding any tears.

And then I saw the envelope, and hope came rushing back. I can't wait to meet her, to see her beautiful blonde hair and brown eyes with those tiny golden flecks, and to hear her sing our lullaby. Life has been dulling and regular, but Sophie's arrival from the Forbidden Cities has been the biggest news since a certain incident I had nothing to do with.

But I have this strange feeling that I know her from somewhere. It's on the tip of my tongue, and I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've never seen her before, and yet she feels so familiar. I'm determined to figure this out, even though it's driving me bonkers.

I'm currently drawing another beautiful picture of Foster and me, imagining our reunion. I'll ask Foster for her advice on this strange feeling. It would probably help to have a second mind on this. 

I take out my paper and start writing to her.

(Keefe) (Sophie)

Hey Foster, can I get your advice on something?

I expected to wait a minute or so, but I didn't expect an immediate response.

Sure. I actually need your advice on something as well. Tell me yours first, then I will tell you mine.

Ok. So there's this new girl that came to this place and once I got to meet her, she has felt extremely familiar, like I know her really well and yet I don't know her. Weird, right?

Oh my gosh, Keefe. I am having the same problem as you, except it's a guy, not a girl.

I guess this helps that we have the same problem. Maybe is a soulmate thing, I don't know. Wait did she say guy? I couldn't resist asking her. No one beats my good looks. 

A guy, you say? Is he cute?

No. No guy can top your handsomeness, Keefe.

Ah ha I knew it. No one beats the Keefster in handsomeness! Take that my girl thinks I'm cute. 

I figured as much. Nothing beats the hair and my boyish good looks.

Very funny. So what do we do because this is nagging at me.

I don't know. I was hoping you would know, but since we are in the same problem, I guess now we can just work through it together instead.

I could tell this is going to be a lot more difficult than it seemed. As much its going to drive us crazy I don't think there's much we can do about this. 

Right. You know, everything that has happened recently with my life has been crazy and weird at the same time. Like I kinda want to assume that this whole thing that is bugging me is part of this world, but I seriously doubt it.

Yeah. The Lost Cities can't be any weirder than the Forbidden Cities.

This is what most people would consider normal, but I find the Forbidden Cities to be normal yet still weird. It can be pretty interesting in different ways. That's just life, I guess.

Yeah, I think that's true. I feel like we should find more ways to connect with each other faster. The lullaby rule doesn't make it any easier.

It really doesn't. I guess we just have to keep moving forward because that's the best we can do. I really miss you right now.

Me too, Foster, me too.

She always has the best advice ever! 

Sophie's POV:

I collapsed on my bed after another long day. Marty jumped onto the bed and purred while rubbing his soft face against mine. I smiled. I'm so glad I brought him with me. This new world has been a completely new experience for me. I have a new life, friends, and family, which is strange because I didn't have a good life or any friends at all.

I have Fitz, the guy who found me and brought me here. He's good-looking in his own way, but he will never beat Keefe in handsomeness. There's also Fitz's sister Biana, my adoptive cousin Dex, who is my best friend. And Tam and Linh, who Keefe has referred to as Tammy Boy. I don't think they like each other very much. And best of all, Keefe. It's strange because he has the same name as my soulmate. Another strange thing is that he feels extremely familiar to me. I feel like I've known him for most of my life, and yet I don't know him at the same time. I'm pretty sure I've never seen him before until that time in the hallway. It's bothering me so much that I can't figure it out.

Mainly because I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole idea. Well, okay, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole world, so I have to figure that out. There are too many things to work out at once, so I might as well just go with the flow and deal with the bothering feeling of Keefe being so familiar. I'm positive I haven't known him since I met him not long ago, but I also feel like I do know him.

This doesn't make any sense. I groan in frustration and decide to ask Keefe for advice. As I grab my paper to start writing, I see a message from him.

(Keefe) (Sophie)

Hey Foster, can I get your advice on something?

I was just about to write to him. I reply, "Sure. I need your advice on something as well. Tell me yours first, then I will tell you mine."

Ok. So, there's this new girl that came to this place and once I got to meet her, she felt extremely familiar, like I know her well and yet I don't know her. Weird, right?

Looks like I am not the only one on this. Maybe this is a soulmate thing or something I don't know. I'm going to keep working it out. 

Oh my gosh, Keefe. I am having the same problem as you, except it's a guy, not a girl.

A guy, you say? Is he cute?

No. No guy can top your handsomeness, Keefe.

I was serious with that. No one and I mean no one can beat Keefe's looks. Its impossible. With his handsome disheveled hair, ice blue eyes, and that smirk of his. 

I figured as much. Nothing beats the hair and my boyish good looks.

Very funny. So, what do we do because this is nagging at me.

I don't know. I was hoping you would know, but since we are in the same situation, I guess now we can just work through it together instead.

Right. You know, everything that has happened recently with my life has been crazy and weird at the same time. Like I kind of want to assume that this whole thing that is bugging me is part of this world, but I seriously doubt it.

It really doesn't. I guess we just have to keep moving forward because that's the best we can do. I really miss you right now.

Me too, Foster, me too.
