There is a new kid at the Fox Run apartments. Michael doesn’t recognize him and it makes him wonder about him. He acts like he is being followed. Michael wonders what is going on with this kid? He is already very worried about Y2K and is stashing food just in case. When he gets home his mom is going back to work and has called his babysitter. He is too old for a babysitter! Ughhh! He really likes Gibby, she is super nice, but he doesn’t need a babysitter. He decides to hang out with his buddy Mosley and eat a bologna sandwich. Mosley is the janitor of the apartments, he is a great guy and Michael loves to hang out with him. He sees the kid again and he’s wearing strange clothes…maybe a uniform? He says his name is Ridge. He decides to help Ridge and he has a hard to believe story. Ridge is from the future and needs to get back immediately! Does he help him? Does he believe him?
