Chapter 1

"Woooo!" The graduating class of 2005 screamed as they threw their hats into the air. Lexi and her two best friends, Allie and Louis, were laughing and crying (well, only Lexi and Allie were crying) uncontrollably as they joined the rest of their class in celebrating their high school graduation night. Clutching her diploma tightly and wiping tears from her deep blue eyes, Lexi looked around at the gym for the last time. It was so hard to believe she was finished with high school already, it seemed like just yesterday she had walked in as a freshman for the first time. She had medium-length blonde hair, and was tall and thin, being on the track team.

"It's over!" Allie cried, torn between excitement and sadness, "We made it 4 years!" She had light brown hair, about the same length as Lexi's, and chocolate brown eyes. She was also tall, and had played softball all 4 years.

"Isn't it great?" Louis said, "I mean, no more Mrs. Iverson's Lit class." He had dark, slightly wavy hair that went a little below his ears, and green eyes. He, like Allie and Lexi, was tall, and was on Boy's track and soccer all 4 years.

"Hey, you guys want to come over to my house tonight?" Lexi asked, "We can do our own little celebration; my parents said they would stay at my grandparents' for a while, so they won't be in our way."

"Ok" The two said in unison.

"Oo, it'll be fun, we can stay up ALL night just watching movies and pigging out on pizza and junk food," Allie bubbled, "I'm so sick of nothing but celery sticks and yogurt!"

"I know, but fitting into our prom dresses was important." Lexi pointed out. Allie agreed, but Louis made a face.

"I'll never understand girls," He said, shaking his head, "I mean, it was just a dress!"

"It was prom," Allie told him, "The most important dance of our high school life!"

"Forget it," He grinned, "I'll still never understand you two."

They left and drove over to Lexi's house, ready for an awesome night of celebrating.

"Ok , now we don't want any wild parties," Her mom winked as she and Lexi's dad headed out the door.

"Don't worry, mom," Lexi smiled reassuringly, "We'll be good."

"Ohh, congratulations, sweetie!" She hugged her daughter tightly, tears starting to form, "And you two!" She hugged Allie and Louis as well.

"Ok, dear, let them breathe," Her dad joked, "Have fun tonight you three."

"Bye," The three of them said, and shut the door behind the adults.

"Finally!" Lexi sighed, but grinning, "So what movie should we watch?"

"Let's see what you have first," Allie said, and the three of them headed down to the basement, where there was the big screen TV and leather sofa. Louis and Allie plopped down while Lexi pulled out all her DVDs.

"Ok, let's see," She said, "We have Never Been Kissed..." She held it up, "Pirates of the Caribbean...The Ring...Harry Potter...Lord of the Rings...and Meet the Parents."

"What about Never Been Kissed?" Allie suggested, "I love that movie!"

"No way, Meet the Parents!" Louis argued.

"Hey you guys, what about Lord of the Rings?" Lexi asked, "It looks pretty cool."

"Well, I've never seen it," Allie said thoughtfully, "So ok."

"Yeah that sounds good." Louis nodded. Lexi put the DVD in, and took the remote, sitting back on the couch with the other two.

"Um, did you press Play?" Allie asked.

"Yeah, it's not working," She replied, pressing it again, "That's weird."

"Here, let me try," Louis took the remote, but nothing happened. Lexi knelt down by the player, and tried that Play button.

"There!" She said triumphantly, but suddenly, there was a blinding white flash and a huge rush of wind. They would have screamed, but it all happened way too fast. One second, they were in Lexi's basement, the next, none of them knew. They all blacked out before they felt themselves being sucked into the screen.
