Chelsea: To start, he would pick me up. (Guys should always pick up the girl—even if she’s not on his way—because it’s the right thing to do.) We would go out to dinner at an upscale restaurant on the lake with a table overlooking the water, and he should pay, of course. Then we would go on a walk, and the conversation should flow so easily that neither of us should realize how much time has passed.
Tiffany: What makes Lizzie such an awesome friend (pre-Drew drama)?
Chelsea: Lizzie is a great person—she listens to what people say, she offers advice (but not in a forceful way), she doesn’t judge, and she’s fun to hang out with. She’s also smart, and values doing well in school as much as I do. I never feel like I have to try to be someone I’m not around Lizzie, which makes it easy to spend time with her.
Tiffany: What is your number one rule of friendship?
Chelsea: Don’t make moves on your friends boyfriend. It never ends well.
Tiffany: There is a scene in Remembrance where Lizzie describes why you mean so much to her and recounts a memory from when the two of you were younger. I know you and Lizzie have been through a lot, but what is your favorite memory of her?
Chelsea: All seventh grade students at Beech Tree go on a weekend field trip to Salem, MA. (We have a big unit on the witch trials in seventh grade.) The hotel we stayed in was supposedly haunted by witches who were killed in the trials, and Lizzie was so scared that she couldn’t fall asleep. Every time we heard a noise in the hall, or a creaking in the room, one of us would scream, and then we would start laughing. Once we realized it was going to be impossible to sleep, we went to the lobby and got snacks, did some hotel exploring, and talked all night. We even invented a “mini tour” of the hotel, talking about the ghosts and their stories. We were exhausted the next day, but at least we survived the night in the haunted hotel!
Tiffany: What are your future plans? Where do you see yourself after graduating college?
Chelsea: I want to go to college someplace warm and near a real city—my top schools are UCLA and University of Miami. Since I’ll be pre-law, I plan on going to law school after graduating college. My dad went to George Washington University for law school, so that’s on my list. But I’m trying not to worry too much about where I want to go to law school until I figure out where I’m going to college. I’m not sure what type of law I want to practice yet, but I am interested in law that has to do with politics.
Tiffany: Do you have a mantra or are they any key principles you live by?
Chelsea: Laboris gloria Ludi, which is Latin for “Work hard, play hard.” I have the phrase inscribed on my keychain.
Tiffany: What is the most valuable piece of advice you've ever received?
Chelsea: “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” This is my dad’s favorite quote—from a movie he likes, I think. Whenever I feel like I can’t do something, he says it to me.
Tiffany: Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
Chelsea: I hope this gives you more insight into who I am! In times when my emotions are heightened (like after I found out about Lizzie and Drew going behind my back), I lash out without thinking. But I swear I’m not like that most of the time. When we got back from England, I realized I was over Drew, and now I’m focusing on doing the best I can in school to make sure I get into the college I want. I also decided that high school boys are immature, so I’m going to wait until college to find the right guy for me.
Chelsea’s Top Ten Makeup Products
If you’ve read the books in the Transcend Time Series, then you know that Chelsea loves getting dressed up and doing her makeup whenever she can. She doesn’t even go to school without putting on makeup in the morning! Here is a list of her top ten products that she can’t live without.
1) Dior Night Butterfly Eyeshadow Palette
This is Chelsea’s favorite palette, because she loves wearing smoky purple shadows—the colors go great with her green eyes.
2) RMS Beauty Cream Eyeshadow in Magnetic
This purple cream eyeshadow is the perfect base for purple smoky eyes.
3) MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
This is Chelsea’s favorite eyeliner. It’s gel, which is easy to apply. It’s also a deep black, so it gives a dramatic look. For night time, you can wing it out for extra flair!
4) MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden
Chelsea loves looking tan all year round. Put this bronzer on the cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead for an all over glow. Remember to put some on your neck, too, so there’s not a line where the bronzer ends!
5) YSL Faux Cils Mascara
This mascara is thick without being clumpy, and makes the lashes look incredible. It gives a false lash effect. Chelsea uses this mascara every day.
6) The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
Chelsea uses this lip stain to make sure her lips stay red all day. This stays in place for hours, so even if lip gloss comes off, the lips will still be red.
7) MAC Eyeliner Pencil in Engraved
Chelsea uses this pencil to line her lower waterline, since it can get messy to use gel in the waterline.
8) YSL Anti-Cernes Multi-Action Concealer
Chelsea uses this concealer under her eyes to cover circles and on any red spots on her face. She takes school seriously, and stays up late on weeknights doing her homework, so this concealer is necessary to make her look awake in the morning!
9) Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Charisma
This beautiful color blush stays on all day!
10) MAC Lipglass in Russian Red
In Timeless, Lizzie mentions Chelsea’s “red lip gloss that makes her look like a vixen.” This is what Chelsea was wearing!

This or That with Jeremy
Here is a collection of “This or That” questions I’ve answered from Jeremy’s point of view for interviews.
Chocolate or vanilla?
Chocolate
Coke or Pepsi?
Doesn’t make too much of a difference, but I guess Coke.
iPhone or Droid?
iPhone all the way! They’re cooler looking than Droid, and easier to use.
Read the book or watch the movie?
Watch the movie! I barely do my reading for school—why bother reading a book when you can just watch it?
Captain Crunch or Fruity Pebbles?
If I had to choose it would be Captain Crunch, but my favorite cereal is Frosted Flakes.
Redbox or Netflix?
Netflix, but I usually just use my DVR On Demand.
Night owl or morning person?
Night owl. I hate waking up early.
Horror movie or action flick?
Tough choice, but I’m gonna go with action. The plots are usually cool, and they have good fight and chase scenes.
Vampires or werewolves?
Werewolf, because I would rather turn into a wolf than a bat. But I don’t get this whole vampire/werewolf thing going on recently. Amber made me watch an episode of The Vampire Diaries the other day, and I could barely sit through it.
Blondes or brunettes?
Blondes. Although there is a certain brunette I have my eye on right now.
History or Math?
Neither? But I guess if I had to pick one, it would be history.
Xbox or PS3?
I’ve got a Wii. If I was going to get another system too, it would be Xbox.

THE FATES OF THE CHARACTERS’ PAST LIVES
Before Lizzie, Drew, and Chelsea went back in time to change the past, here is what happened to their past selves:
Lizzie: She was reincarnated because she died too early in the past, and never had time to be with her soul mate, Drew.
Drew: He made a massive mistake in his past life that led to Lizzie getting into the carriage with James, which caused her death. He never forgave himself, and could never be with his soul mate because she was dead. He married Catherine, and was miserable and depressed for the rest of his life. The two of them never had children because he wanted nothing to do with her.
