Oh god, what have I done?

Well now I'm back with whatever this is. I don't even know but I did base it off of Florence and the Machine. Prepare for people to die. I will make it happen somehow. Oh but yes I've done it this time. Someone take a gun and shoot me I haven't updated anything yet. This one is really short though. Like I plan to make it at least probably 5 chapters, but there's a whole ton of skipping. I just really love the background of this game so much. Like it has the ability to be really awesome, or really angsty. The title is one of my favourites really. I'll talk more about that when we get to the point it comes into play though. Oh my, look, a decent sized chapter!

I own nothing except Michael Corona and Roxanne Corona, and the horrible writing.

Act 1 – Part 1 – Homebound

"Michael you're not even paying attention." The male blinked shaking his head slightly to snap himself back into reality. The young girl in front of him gave a deep sigh and a mumbled 'Why do I even bother?' before picking up her messenger bag and hooking it over her right shoulder.

"I am!" Michael replied suddenly "It's just I've been thinking!" At hearing this, the dark haired female paused in her footsteps and Michael could just feel the smirk upon her lips. She turned on her heel and faced the boy, one hand placed on her hip while the other was holding the strap on the messenger bag. Michael knew what was coming and by the look on her face, he wished it wasn't.

"Is it a girl?" Oh no. Not this again.

"Roxie, please." Michael said, already exasperated from the teasing that would eventually occur. Roxanne, Michael's dear sister, only grinned.

"It is a girl isn't it!?"

"Roxie no I alr-"

"Who's the lucky gal?"

"Roxie I don't ha-"

"How far did you two get hmmm?" While saying this Roxanne wiggled her eyebrows, suggesting something else. Michael's face instantly became a bright carmine color. He doubted he could get any more embarrassed than now.

"Roxanne!" He squeaked, blushing even further at his sister's laugh. Roxanne pat his back two times and hugged her red tomato of a brother from the side. Her laughing still hadn't subsided though. When it did she gave a release of air and smiled.

"You know I'm only kidding Mike." Roxanne reassured her brother and he almost seemed to relax until the two of them remembered something extremely important- Today was October 13th

They started rushing home.

October 1st, 11:00 A.M

Roxanne sat on the comfortable, beige couch in the middle of the living room. The girl wore a sleep jacket and some pajama pants while having no shoes on. Lazily she laid into the back of it, letting herself slide off of it just a tad bit. It was a lazy Friday morning where her mother let her stay home; like she usually did once a month, either that or she would go home early. Michael was off at school, he had a report due and Nicole wouldn't let him stay home for the world.

"Watching Ghost Busters again?" Nicole asked, moving a strand of black hair behind her ear and shaking her head at her daughter.

"Don't dis the Ghost Busters" Was all that Roxanne replied, glancing up at her mother and shaking her head in mock shame. Nicole merely smiled at Roxanne and exited through the front door.

She soon came back with a pile of advertisements and bills mixed in with a few letters from family members that lived out of town. Looking through them she tossed two letters at Roxanne and continued off with the rest in her hands. Upon catching the letters, Roxanne took a good look at them on the outside; one was obviously from her pen-pal Amanda, who lived across the ocean. The second was an incredibly formal letter from DexLabs which surprised both her and her mother when she yelled to her about it.

"Apparently it's to participate in some time-travel experiment." Roxanne said, reading over it twice to make sure she got everything.

"Well I don't want you participating in that, what if something goes wrong?" Nicole asked, and Roxanne looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you not catch how cool this could be Nicole?" The dark haired girl began, shaking the letter in her hand slightly. "Think about what if someone asked me what I did when I wasn't at school, dude I could be all like: 'I was in the future hanging out with the future me what about you."'

"They probably won't believe you though." Nicole pointed out and Roxanne's face instantly dropped.

"Now you're just ruining it for me."

"That's my job."

"I'm still participating in it."

"I know." Roxanne folded the letter and slid it into the pocket of her jacket.

"No fighting with me?" Nicole smiled a sad smile but still a smile none the less.

"I've learned not to fight with you." Roxanne couldn't help but smile back and she laughed.

"Since when did miracles happen?" Nicole looked at her daughter with a happy yet tired look. It was a silent agreement. The black haired woman sat beside Roxanne, giving her a hug.

"You better not die."

"Neither should you."

"I love you." There was a pause as Roxanne sighed and hugged her mother back.

"Love 'ya too mum." There was the sound of shuffling and doors closing as the two went back to bickering about Ghost Busters and how to cook chicken. Michael would find out later when Roxanne ran upstairs after him, flaunting the fancy letter in his face. The night would go as smoothly as it would have if nothing had ever happened. Michael and Roxanne would get in a fight over who did the best at tennis and chat about the idiots at their schools who never cease to amuse them. Nicole would then say snarky remarks about them without even knowing them, causing the whole table to erupt in laughter.

October 13, 12:00 P.M

"It might be a little rough."

Roxanne felt the machine begin to shake ever so slightly; those that were with her [which were few] also did as well. Some of them grew scared, some, like Roxanne, stayed incredibly still thinking that if they moved they would lose their balance. In the corner of the window the dark haired female could see another girl, prancing around the laboratory giggling. Instantly the pit of her stomach dropped and a horrid feeling came onto her. Some of those around her must have gotten the exact same feeling, as they started mumbling and opening and closing their hands in pure nervousness. Once again Roxanne saw the girl prance around to the right.

"Oooo, what does this button do?~"

"Dee Dee no!"

The machine began getting out of control, and now was when mostly everyone started panicking. Roxanne stood staring at the warning signs, and she figured only the absolute worst. So as the people around her began to push and shove her around in the mist of their panicking, she hit her head quite a few times before the hurt took in and she completely passed out, much like few others did. Oh how she hoped that at least her brother would be safe.
