Chapter 1
The SATT
Mary POV
This was made by me and my friend Mary. Please tell me what you think. I promise the story will get better later in.
It was time for the Annual Science Fair. Guess who was going to win. Not me!
It was required that we go to it anyway, and Alex was trying to get us to come see his new invention.
Alex... Ever since Kindergarden he's seemed to have a thing for me. But he's to nerdy for me. Total turn-off.
Fiona went with me. I'm happy that were getting along again. A couple years ago one of our 'bring down the populars' plans backfired and I became part of the popular group. For a while Fiona and I couldn't talk after that, and we just never got our friendship going again.
We finally got up to Alex's display. He was standing in front of a control panel, with two tubes behind him.
After staring at it in silence for a moment, Fiona said "So what is this supposed to be?"
He finally noticed us and turned around. "The Super Awesome Teleportation Thing!" He said, smiling up at his invention.
I graced this name with my standered raised eyebrow. Fiona just looked up at the machine, with a skeptical look on her face.
Thats when Alex got a little mad.
His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white.
"Iv'e worked my ass off on this machine! Get in!" I looked up at the tubes.
"What is it going to do?" I asked, confused.
Alex seemed to calm down now that I seemed interested in his invention.
"Two people get into the tubes, one each, and when I activate it, the people will switch places. The one in the left tube will now be in the right one, and vice-versa. This is a giant step for scientists everywhere!"
I was still looking at this machine with a raised eyebrow. Thats when Fiona spoke up.
"What the hell is your IQ? That you could figure out how to teleport before any other scientist?! And your 13! Am I the only one questioning this?"
Alex looked past me over to Fiona. "in order, 215, yes, and no. Now get in the machine."
I walked up to the first tube.
"You have tested this right? Nothing will go wrong? Because this is starting to look like the plotline for a bad movie. The heroine and her friend get in a machine, something goes wrong, and they either die or get frozen for a couple thousand years."
I turned to Fiona who looked blank. "What?"
She shook her head and said. "1:What movie are you talking about? 2:Which one of us is the heroine?"
I shrugged, getting into the tube before saying something that I would regret.
Fiona had a bit of an inferiority complex, so if I said it was me, that would make it worse. If I said it was her, she wouldn't belive me anyway.
I saw Fiona through a small window, talking to Alex a little more, and then she got into the other tube.
I watched Alex through the window as he pressed a couple buttons on the control pad and then hesitated for a second.
He tried turning the knob on the side of the pad, but then started freeting. What? Was it not turning the whole way?
My body started feeling funny. Tingly. Numb.
The grey of the tube started mixing with the colors through the window.
I heard Fiona in the next tube, screaming and pounding on the door.
"Alex, you little punk, turn it off! The T. switch got stuck! Alex! Let me out of her god dammit!!"
I tried to move, but I couldn't feel my body at all. It was like my mind was floating on a path of pure light.
The colors all slowly turned white, and Fiona's sceaming died.
Where did the tube go? What the hell was going on?
There was a flash of light, and I fell on something hard. What was this? Was I feeling grass?
I sat up and opened my eyes. When did I close my eyes?
I looked around, and my eyes stopped on four certain people. Four people that I knew that I would never meet in my life.
