The Day It All Changed

A/N This is my first fanfic since my last one, which was terrible, so I stopped writing it. I hope you like this one better.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Mass Effect, or any of its characters.

I thought that this day would be an ordinary day, like all others. But I was gravely wrong, because this was the day that everything changed for my friends and I. Forever.

We all were walking home from school like every other day. The birds were singing, the wind was blowing, and the weather was very fine. We were each indulged in a separate conversation, Jake and I were arguing about which one of us was smarter. Tara and Julie talking about whatever girls usually talk about. My brother, David was walking ahead of us, probably pondering about his day.

Jake had short brown hair, brown eyes and was wearing clothes that any typical teenager would wear: jeans and a t-shirt. I had long dirty-blond hair, blue eyes, and was wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a hat. Tara had long blond and curly hair, brown eyes, and was wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a coat over it. Julie had long, dark brown hair, green eyes, and was wearing jeans with a nice t-shirt with a peace sign because she was against war or killing. David had short blond hair, blue eyes, and was wearing jeans and a hat resembling one of his favorite bands.

We had no idea that tomorrow we would be in an entirely different world.

We walked until we got to my house. "Hey, do you guys want to come in and hang out for a while?" I asked with a quizzical look on my face.

Eventually, everybody said sure and we walked into my house. We each got a snack, and were sitting in the living room. We heard a long crash coming from the basement, and then we could hear an odd, static sound within our heads. "Guys, do you hear that too?" Jake asked

"Yeah, what the heck is that?" David replied

"Let's go find out what that crash was" I said, standing up.

"Wait, WHAT?" Tara asked, "that could be, some kind of murderer, I don't think it is safe."

"Come on, Tara. Stop being paranoid" I said. We walked down the stairs into the basement, looking around. Lights were all flashing within the room. There was a blinding white light, and then it stopped. Then, I felt extreme pain in my temple, and fell to the floor, screaming. Jake was the first to reach me, he asked what was wrong, but I could not talk. Then, we saw Tara and David fall to the ground, holding their heads, screaming.

"Oh my God!" Jake yelled, probably confused. Jake and Julie were checking for pulses on Tara and David. They looked relieved, so I assumed that they had pulses. They were pacing around with sweat on their faces. Sadly, I knew that they would soon fall to the ground, because it happened to all of us so far.

Finally, Jake and Julie fell to the ground. Screaming.

Those were the last things I saw before I blacked out.

This was my last day in my world. Tomorrow, I would wake up in a completely different world.

A dark room. That is what I appeared to be inside. "Hello? Is anybody there?" I asked to no one in particular.

"Yeah," I heard two voices answer at the same time. I could tell it was Jake and Tara that answered.

"Where are we?" I asked them both.

"Earth," I barely heard Jake sarcastically answer.

He was gravely wrong.

"No way! That's was a very clever deduction, Sherlock." I said getting annoyed. "We are in a dark room that could be very dangerous, we don't know where we are, and you're here being sarcastic!"

"Okay, Okay. I'm sorry" He said

We all woke up at very different times. Apparently, Tara woke up first, then Jake, and then me. Julie and David were still out cold. I walked around the perimeter of the room, searching for any kind of switch to turn the lights on. Finally, I found something. It felt like a light switch, so I flicked it on. A blinding light filled the room. "Oh, gosh, that's really bright," Tara said, holding her hands over her eyes. After a while, our eyes finally adjusted to the light. We saw the sleeping bodies of Julie and David, who were sprawled across the ground. We finally decided to rouse them, shaking them. They finally woke up, and began looking around the room.

"Where are we?" They both asked in perfect sync.

"We don't know, we were waiting until you got up to go outside. We thought it could be dangerous…." I trailed off.

"Okay." David was the first to reply. "Do you have any idea on how to get out now?"

"There are no doors to exit from" Julie chimed in.

"Wait, can we possibly open that vent up there and climb out that way?" Jake asked.

"Yes!" I proclaimed loudly. We moved a bunch of boxes and crates over to make a make-shift staircase. Jake went first, pried to lid off, and looked around. He turned back to us, his face very ashen.

"You guys are not going to believe what is out there," he stated.

Then Julie looked out, and the same reaction appeared on her face. I finally got to look out. The view was…breathtaking to say the least. We were on some kind of space-ship. There were five long arms shooting outward from a circle in the center of them all. It all looked rather peaceful, so we all jumped out and began looking around. "Pre-sid-e-um?" Jake sounded out, pointing to a sign above us.

"I guess that's where we are," I said, looking at the sign. "Wait, there are Humans here, what is going on? What are those blue things? Why is there are tall, Jelly-fish looking things? I am so confused!"

"We are in another world." David said, taking in out surroundings.

He was right, we are in another world.
