It was just another school day when I walked across the halls of my best
friend, Jake's, laboratory. Machines and chemicals were pretty much the
only things that were seen in the dark, gloomy basement. Jake was working
on a surprise for her; little did she know it would change her life
forever.
After searching the entire basement, I finally got to the place where Jake stood beside a large object that was hidden beneath a white cloth.
Jake smiled. "You're late." He teased. "Don't tell me, detention."
"Again. And I've never really done anything wrong except steal Stacie's Barbie doll in Kindergarten. I think Mr. Weirdo (his real name is Mr. Dan, but since he's so weird, we like to call our math teacher Mr. Weirdo) is so into his work, he read our homework wrong." I dropped my backpack onto the hard, wooden floor. "So, what's the surprise?"
"Close your eyes, and for once, without peeking." I closed my eyes tightly as I could hear Jake whoosh the white cloth off of the large thingy a bobber and press a few buttons. Beeping was heard, and I smelt smoke puffing out of the machine. "Ok, open your eyes." I opened my eyes, just to discover a huge, shaking machine with a tall door and a keyboard attached to it.
"Cool!" I exclaimed as I stared at the machine, amazed. "What can it do?"
"It's supposed to let you bring movie and book characters to life, but I haven't tried it out yet. It can also bring people from the past and the future to here. I was thinking we could use it for our history reports." Jake smiled at me again and took a glance at the keyboard. "Wanna test it out to see if it works?" His smile turned into more of a smirk. I nodded eagerly. He pressed a few buttons, then pulled down a lever to a point that said "Movie Character". "What would you prefer?"
"Hmm, what movie have we seen lately?" And after a moment of thought, I added, "How about Jennifer Garner from 13 going on 30?"
Jake continued to press a few buttons until the door opened and some of the smoke died down.
"Hello?" I called. "Is anyone in there?"
There was no reply.
I couldn't help but take peek inside there, careful not to actually go into the machine. I didn't see anything but a warp in the back. Where was the movie star I expected?
Suddenly, the door closed, knocking me into the warp. I screamed as I fell down, down, and down until I landed with a thud onto a hard concrete floor.
"Ow!" I shouted, rubbing my back. I looked at my surroundings. Where was I?
HONK! I noticed I was on a street and that a car was coming right towards me! I knew I couldn't get up in time and screamed for help. The car immediately pulled over and two familiar women ran towards me.
"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?" One asked. I then recognized them. They were Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer! I also realized that Jake's experiment had gone wrong. I was stuck in the movie 13 going on 30!!!
Maybe it was just a dream. Or maybe it wasn't. Maybe she had some sort of mental illness.
"I think I am, I mean I hope I am." I replied as I let them help me up.
"I hate to be rude and all, but why were you just sitting in the middle of the road? You could have been killed!" Judy (or Lucy) exclaimed.
"I wasn't just sitting out in the road. I walked into my best friend's invention and fell into the sky and just landed in the middle of the street!" The looks on their faces told me they didn't believe me.
"Jenna, we have to get this girl to the hospital!" Lucy said.
"You know, Lucy, I think I'm the one who needs to go to the hospital." I heard Jenna say as I ran from the two as fast as my sore legs could go.
"There she goes!" I felt Lucy point directly at me and heard the sound of a car start. Then it seemed as if it had changed from a twist in 13 going on 30 to a chase scene in Alias.
After I thought I lost them, I heard Lucy say, "Oh, she'll be fine, let's go. We're late for work!"
Even thought I knew they weren't chasing me anymore, I kept running. I had to find a way to get out of this...
Suddenly, I bumped into somebody...
TO BE CONTINUED!
A/N: I bet you've noticed that I haven't been writing new chapters to stories lately. You know why;
I'm really busy. I've run out of ideas.
It'd really help if you emailed me ideas at:

Remember, DON'T send them to me in reviews, or everyone will find out what happens!
