Heyhey! I'm here with my new story NotSo Loser Force Five! :D It's all very exciting. It's kinda based on the show No Ordinary Family, so if you like that, you're gonna like this! :D
And please forgive me for the lack of Channy in the first few chapters. Chaddy don't come in till chapter 3 or 4 I think. DON'T HURT ME! Plus, this story isn't all about Channy...which is a change for my stories. LOL ;).
So I said in the preview, this is an AU (Alternate Universe) so So Random and Mackenzie Falls don't exist.
Alright then...here we go! :D
DC: I don't own SWAC or NOF (No Ordinary Family) :P
Chapter 1-Leaving to England!
Sonny's POV
"Sonny!" My mother yells up to me in that tone that says 'get down here!'
"Yeah?" I reply, packing the last things into my suitcase, trying my hardest to fit everything in. It doesn't work to plan as things overflow from the suitcase onto my bed and I groan in annoyance.
"Your friends are here! Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah!" I lie. I decide to not take some of the dresses and stuff, zipping up the suitcase with jerky strokes, before it finally closes and I'm so proud of myself I feel like partying. I then stumble down the stairs, before seeing Tawni in the doorway and giving her a big hug.
Tawni is my best friend. She was my first friend when I moved from Wisconsin to California (which is weird, coz we're totally different. But hey, opposites attract, right?). She showed me around the school and introduced me to her friends, Nico, Grady, and Zora (who she knows outside school – she's 13, and doesn't go to high school yet). Now, we're all the bestest of friends (I feel so childish saying that when I'm 17).
"You ready to go, honey?" Mom asks me, and I nod, hugging her.
"I'll see you when we get back." I tell her, before heading out to Tawni's car. I put my suitcases in the back of her car, before getting into it, next to Zora who is squashed in the middle between me and Grady. Nico, Grady's best friend, is sat in the front, and Tawni gets in the driver's seat.
"Ready, everyone?" Tawni asks, and we all nod, cheering to show our happiness.
"London, here we come!" I squeal.
Yes, that's right – we are going on a vacation to London, or a holiday as they call it in England. (A/N: It's true, we do. Why do you think they're going to London? Lol ;)) I can't wait! I've never been to London, it should be so much fun!
Tawni's family is rich, so she's booked us a private plane for the journey…it's gonna be awesome!
We arrive at the airport, rushing to get to our flight (not coz we're late, but because we want to spend as long on this private plane as we can! Tawni's probably the only one of us who's first and last private plane journey is today!) We're happy to see how quickly we're allowed on. The doors close and we travel up the runway, and my heart goes into my stomach as we start to speed up. I've only been on a plane once (when me and my Mom travelled from Wisconsin to California) and I'm so not used to it.
Soon enough, we're in the air, above the clouds. We can see the Californian beaches beneath us, and I grin, trying to ignore the small slither of a fear of heights I have.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have lift-off!
"Ah, this really is the life." I say, shuffling around in my chair next to Tawni, who stares at me when I do so.
"What's wrong with you?" She asks me, and I laugh.
"Just getting comfortable, love," I say in a British accent, and she stares at me harder.
"You really are crazy, you know that, Sonny?"
"I know." I laugh, "I try."
"And succeed." She says, putting an eye mask over her eyes and putting her iPod earplugs in.
I grin, before lounging back in my chair. I then look over to where Nico and Grady sit. Grady is fast asleep – he did mention he was completely exhausted. Nico is looking over our way, leg shaking. He looks slightly nervous, or annoyed, or both.
I smile. Nico has a crush on Tawni, and we all know it – apart from Tawni. She doesn't get any of the signs he gives her and I think it's pretty sad.
"Admiring your secret love, Nico?" I ask, and he laughs.
"What?" He chuckles pretty flakily, "No! I'm just…I wanna land quickly. I'm not the best when it comes to flights. And I wanna see the soldier guys with the funny hats."
"Sure…" I say.
"Ah, if I could read your mind right now, I'd so scream out your thoughts." Zora smiles. Ah, how creepy my little friend is. If she could read Nico's mind? With all those smarts she could easily read his mind!
Then I remind myself, people can't read minds. It's just not possible. Nothing like that is possible.
A few minutes later, a boy walks into the cabin, smiling, and I grin. He's cute. He looks over at me, smiling at me, before looking away. I look away too, but I then feel a gaze on me. I raise my head to see the boy still staring at me. I blush, before he walks my way.
"Heya," He says, blue eyes shining, as he moves a blonde strand of hair from his face, "What's your name, cutie?"
I laugh, snorting, and I gulp before I see he didn't seem to notice. Still in the game!
…OK, then, that was weird.
"Um, Sonny Munroe." I offer and hand for him to shake, but he kisses it, "…And your name?"
"Caleb," He says, still smiling at me, "Caleb Swift." (A/N: Haha! You guys thought it was Chad! Or did you? I have no clue…)
"Nice to meet you, Caleb." I say.
"You too, Sonny," He says, "What do you say after this flight we meet up for a little guided tour around London?"
"And where are we gonna find a tour guide?" I ask, before he points to himself, "You really know your way around London?"
"Been there loads." He says, "So, you up for it?"
I smile at him, feeling a bit of chemistry, and as he kisses me on the cheek and says 'goodbye', Tawni elbows me.
"Nice," She whispers as Caleb heads off to ask Nico and Grady if they want more peanuts, "He's cute!"
I smile, "And I think he likes me!" I squeal quietly, and she does the same.
"And do you like him?" She asks, and I nod, "Awesome! You guys are gonna be great together!" (A/N: No they're not. Canny? Sonleb? Er, no. I know what ur thinking, 'we want Channy!' Just wait a bit, Chad isn't in the story yet…don't hurt me!)
I spend ages thinking about Caleb…he's pretty cute. He seems like a nice guy… Tawni could be right. We could be the perfect match!
I smile, leaning back in my chair, before suddenly the plane suddenly faces a jerk and my heart flips over.
"Sorry about that, folks," The captain's voice comes over the intercom, "We just had a little bit of turbulence, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem for the rest of the ride."
Boy, what a lie.
A few minutes later, and we're hear a rumbling. Thunder. I huddle closer to Tawni, coz to be honest, I'm major scared.
"Will you relax?" Tawni says, "We're gonna be fine. It's just a little thunder."
Something gives me a hunch that it wasn't 'just a little thunder'. Minutes go by and lightning starts to strike, right outside the window. Tawni and I scream, holding each other tightly, Zora hides under a chair and Nico jumps up into Grady's arms as he finally wakes up from his deep slumber. I'm baffled he slept through all that thunder.
"Folks, relax." The captain says, his voice sounding shaky and scared himself, "We'll just need to land the plane – nobody panic."
"Nobody panic?" Tawni yells, "Oh, that's just great. How am I not meant to panic?"
I know what she means, but I tell her to calm down and try and sleep.
"Everything's gonna be alright." I say, kinda doubting myself.
That's when suddenly everything goes strange. The plane is surrounded by a bright, blinding light. The lights inside all go off, and my heart reaches my mouth as I realise we're falling. Falling through the clouds, we seem to have been struck by lightning. I hold on tightly to my friends, panicking.
"It's gonna be OK…" I repeat breathlessly, before suddenly feeling a thud.
Everything goes black after that…
~NSLFF~
"Sonny? Sonny Munroe?"
A faint voice repeats my name, before I see a bright light. What's going on? Am I dying? Is that voice God? What the heck is going on?
"Miss Munroe?"
I squint at the light, before seeing a man who looks about forty, maybe less, looking down at me, a flashlight sort of thing in his hand, wearing glasses and a lab coat. He smiles when seeing me.
"Good, you're awake," He says, in an English accent, I'm sure, "You're the fourth to wake up."
I blink, "What are you talking about?"
"You and your friends, Miss Munroe." He explains, "Me and my daughter knew something was going on. Something happened the other night. We heard news of a plane being hit by lightning and crashing into the shore of Bournemouth. Lucky no-one was on that beach!"
"Your daughter?" I ask, "Lightning? Plane crash? What?"
It's then when I remember exactly what happened. My friends and I were on our way to England, on a plane, Caleb, the storm, the lightning…
"How did I survive?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out," The English guy says, before offering a hand for me to shake, "Professor Blaine Howard."
I shake his hand warily, "Sonny Munroe."
"I know," He says, "Your friend Zora was the first to wake up – she told us everything. Well, about the crash, your names, where you come from, things like that."
"Who did you find?" I ask, before sitting up slightly to see all my friends…Zora, Nico, Grady. Tawni seems to be the only one still asleep. Next to Tawni is a girl who looks about sixteen, with auburn hair and green eyes. She's quite a pretty girl, but she's wearing lab goggles and a lab coat like Blaine. She smiles at me while holding Tawni's wrist. I guess she's trying to test the pulse.
"Hey," She says in the same British accent as Blaine, "I'm Ellie. Blaine's my Dad. We're just trying to help you guys – don't worry about anything."
I watch her do something to Tawni, I honestly don't know what. These guys seem to have a very technical life. They must be a father-daughter scientist team…or maybe it's Bring Your Daughter To Work Day? No, I don't know if they have those in England, if that's where we are… (A/N: I know I've never had a Bring-Your-Daughter-To-Work-Day with my Dad. I live in England. No clue to be honest…)
Then I remember something else. We weren't the only ones on that plane. The crew, and…Caleb.
"The crew." I say softly. Ellie blinks.
"Who?"
"The crew," I repeat, "Where are they?"
Blaine hangs his head sadly, "We couldn't find them." He reports, "They were assumed dead. I'm sorry."
My heart sinks to my boots. Caleb's…dead? I can't believe this…I loved Caleb, well, I sure liked him. I was sure I was attracted to him, and now I'll never know if we were really meant to be.
I start crying the moment Tawni wakes up, and Ellie notices my tears, leaving her Dad to see to a groaning Tawni.
"Are you OK, um, Sonny?" She asks, and I sigh, wiping a tear from my eye.
"My…" I pause, trying to find the right word, "…Boyfriend was on that plane."
Ellie frowns, "Oh, I'm so sorry! We tried our best, I really am sorry…"
"It's OK." I lie, "It wasn't your fault…" OK, so that part isn't a lie. I really shouldn't take things out on these guys. It's not their fault…
As Tawni screams and yells at Blaine, and I sigh. This is gonna be a long day…
