A/N: My first, and probably only, TUC fic. Sorry if I make any mistakes; I haven't read TUC in a long time ^^` Well, here goes! Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this fic. I do own a cellphone, but luckily, it's still in one piece :D
"Cousin, look what I found!" Howard came up to Luxa, holding a shiny metal device in hand.
"That is quite strange," Luxa frowned. She tentatively reached forward and poked the object. "Is it alive?"
"I do not think so," Howard replied. "But I have no idea what it is!"
"Maybe Vikus knows. Let us go ask him," Luxa decided.
In the space of a few minutes, Luxa, Howard, Ares, Aurora, and Vikus were all gathered in a room, surrounding the foreign item lying harmlessly on the ground.
"Does it fly?" Ares asked, pointing his nose towards it.
"Probably not," Vikus replied. "Otherwise it could have done so already."
"Where did you find it, Howard?" Aurora glanced at the boy.
"I found it on the ground, in the arena," Howard replied. "I was curious, so I picked it up."
"Do you think it is an Overland thing?" Luxa wondered. "Perhaps Gregor knows what it is."
"But how would it get into the arena?" Vikus pondered. "Normally Overland objects do not fall there. I do not recall any such instance."
"Hey, where is everybody?" A voice floated down the hallway. "Luxa? Ares? Howard?"
"We're in here, Gregor," Luxa called.
"Why is everyone in here?" Gregor asked as he walked into the room. His face brightened when he saw the device. "Hey, I've been looking all over for that! Where did you guys find my cell—"
Suddenly the small black screen of the item lit up and began playing an Overland tune. Everyone in the room, minus Gregor, immediately freaked out.
"It's alive!" Luxa exclaimed, and without further ado, took her sword and smashed the object to pieces.
"Darn, there goes my phone," Gregor laughed, amused at his Underland friends' reactions.
"Oh, was that yours? I'm terribly sorry," Luxa apologized, though she still looked at the broken phone with distrust.
"Yeah, but it's alright," Gregor promised. "I didn't like it much anyway. Now my mom will have to get me a new one."
"You mean there's more than one of those in the Overland?" Ares asked.
"Oh yeah. Millions of them. I bet almost every person in the Overland has one." Gregor looked at the remains of his old phone and laughed again. "Who would've known it still got connection down here?"
A/N: So, how was it? I don't know how well it turned out; it seemed like everyone was OOC and the Underlanders all sound weird…give me suggestions, please? For example, in a review? ;)
