"I can't believe we're late!" Hunter Bradley complained as he pulled his red pickup truck into a parking space outside of Reefside High.

"Don't blame me!" Nicolette Bradley, Hunter's biological sister folded her arms, sitting in between Hunter and Blake. "Blame him!" She pointed, then poked at Blake.

Blake gave her a look as he opened his door and slid out of the truck as it was turned off. "Me?" He questioned. "I'm not the one who stayed up all night talking to Shane."

"It's my fault that Shane finds me interesting?" Nicolette complained as she grabbed her backpack and quickly slid it on her back.

"Will you guys stop?" Hunter demanded as he walked around his truck. "We're late, and you two decide to have an argument now?"

Both Nicolette and Blake looked at each other, then turned to Hunter. "Yes!" The two said in union.

Rolling his eyes, Hunter grabbed Nicolette by the arm. "Let's go!"

The three quickly headed to the front entrance of the school. They saw the Principal, who was stalking the grounds with a young man in a red soccer uniform, who was trailing behind, Principal Randell then talked sternly to a young woman who had been playing a guitar.

"Oh, that woman is a viper." Blake shuttered, after watching the girl with the guitar grumble. "I'd rather face Lothor again."

Nicolette rolled her eyes. "You don't have to attend the same school with her." She put on a brave face. "Hopefully she'll let it slid that I'm late." Walking away from her brothers, she made her way toward the Principal. "Principal Randell?" She asked with a smile, gaining a dark glare in return. "Hi! I'm Nicolette Bradley, I just moved here from."-

"You're late Miss. Bradley!" Randell barked, cutting off the blonde. "Detention!" She marked something on her clipboard. "Come with me."

Nicolette just stood there with a shocked look on her face. "Detention?" She gasped, she turned around to see her brothers nowhere in sight. Turning around she quickly ran to keep up with the Principal, and the other two.

"What did I do to get detention?" Nicolette demanded. "I just transferred here!" Suddenly the sprinklers went off, soaking everyone on the grounds.

"My guitar!" Kira Ford cried, trying to keep her guitar from being wet.

"Ethan James." The Principal growled as she looked around and spotted a young man wearing blue and under a blue umbrella and smiling happily. "I should have known."

XxXxXxXxXxX

A wet Principal, along with three out of four wet teenagers walked up to an office. "Sit!" She barked, and the four quickly sat down on the bench.

"Principal Randall, I'd like to mention that fact that there's absolutely no hard evidence linking me to that unfortunate sprinkler incident." Ethan tried to explain, and Nicolette leaned backwards, into Conner McKnight's side at the fierce glare that was only more scarier with the Principle's soaked appearance.

"Save it for Judge Judy, Mr. James!" Randall snarled at him. "The four of you have detention, for one week, starting today." She looked to the others, whose jaws dropped. "Now if there's no futher questions."- Instant all four teens protested loudly. "I didn't think so!" Randall barked at them over the complaints, she turned and marched into her office and slammed the door shut.

"My brothers are going to kill me." Nicolette huffed as she folded her arms. "After they stop laughing their heads off."

"Ok, somebody seriously needs a hug." Kira growled, pointing to herself.

"Dude ... Computer Club?" Conner leaned forward, looking past the girls to look at Ethan.

XxXxXxXxXx

"That should be sufficient torture for them." Randall said as she rounded the corner with new teacher Dr. Thomas Oliver. "You've all met, I trust. Well ... enjoy your little outing!"

XxXxXxXxXx

Ethan grinned as Dr. Oliver's Jeep drove up the drive towards the white building, and standing outside was a giant model dinosaur.

"Whoa, check out the T-Rex!" He grinned, exitedly.

The five walked over to the entrance, but there was a 'Sorry We're Closed' sign that hung from a chain on the front doors. "That's weird." Dr. Oliver frowned.

"Oh, well." Conner sighed. "No museum for us."

"Great! Let's go home!" Kira nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! My brothers are going to kill me!" Nicolette also agreed.

"I'll tell you what." Dr. Oliver said, turning to the four students. "Why don't you guys go have a look around the grounds? You find anything prehistoric; I'll cancel detention for the rest of the week."

"Sweet!" Ethan nodded.

"I'm going to see if I can find someone who can tell us when they're opening up." Dr. Oliver walked off.

The four teens walked around off towards the woods that was behind the building.

"So, let me get this straight." Conner started. "They have a club just for computers?"

"Oh brother." Nicolette rolled her eyes.

"Hey, did you guys hear about the guy that was hiking up here and fell in a giant sinkhole?" Ethan asked.

"Must've missed that one." Kira muttered, sounding board.

"Come on! It was on all the urban legand websites!" Ethan complained.

"Dude, you know this isn't Computer Club, right?" Conner asked him.

"Oh, I guess you're too big and bad to surf the web." Ethan mocked, causing Conner to turn in his direction. "So, what do you do in your spare time?"

"Me? I go out with girls!" Conner answered with a grin. "You know, they're the ones at school who smell real good, the long hair and the make-up."

"So you're talking about the Barbie wannabes!" Nicolette replied.

"You look just like those 'Barbie wannabes.'" Conner used his fingers to quote the last part. "So you're including yourself?" He couldn't help but smile as he looked her up and down.

Nicolette paused, and behind her Ethan made an 'Uh oh' face. "You, McKnight are too much of an airhead for my taste." With that she started walking again.

Ethan laughed at the look on Conner's face. "You can cross her off your 'Barbie wannabes' list!"

Conner turned to glare at him. "Oh just you wait. I'll have her craving and begging for me." He pointed at himself. "She'll fall for me soon enough." He puffed out his chest.

Kira rolled her eyes. "Whatever!" With that she stomped away from the boys, and headed in Nicolette's direction.

Conner smirked, before following the girls.

"All I'm trying to do is give you guys the heads up!" Ethan called after them. "But don't come crying to me when you fall into a giant sinkhole!" No sooner had he finished, he disappeared into the ground.

Soon Conner, and the girls followed suit with cries of surprise.

XxXxXxXxXx

The four teens were able to get back to their feet, coughing from the dust that now covered them. They looked up at the gaping hole that was 4 feet above them.

"The ground is suppose to bury us after we're no longer breathing." Nicolette said. "Not before!"

"Calm down." Conner told her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You guys wait here where's its safe." He looked around at the three. "I'll climb out and come back with help." He walked up to the mountain of wall, and hoisted himself up, but he didn't get very far as the wall broke and he crashed back to the ground.

"So much for that way out." Nicolette replied as she helped him up.

Conner turned his attention to the tunnels. "No other way, then to follow the tunnels."

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Kira started to sing under her breath, at the same time Nicolette chewed on her lower lip as she wondered what her brothers were going to do to her once they find out what's going on.

"Babe, would you keep it down? I'm trying to stay focused." Conner told Kira.

"Did you just call me babe?" She demanded, then turned to Ethan, who was standing behind her. "Did he just call me babe?" She demanded again, but the teen in blue just shrugged.

"I dunno, I wasn't listening!" He said. "Too busy grooving to your tunes."

Kira stalked over to get in Conner's face.

"What?" The teen in red frowned as Kira glared up at him. "Just chill out why don't you?"

"Listen, my name is Kira. Maybe you should write it on your hand, or something!" She growled at him.

And with that she turned and stalked off further down the tunnel.

XxXxXxX

The four teens stared at the dinosaur skeleton that stood in front of them.

"Ok, this screams Jurassic Park to me." Kira said.

"And it's squeals." Nicolette added.

"This will get us out of detention forever!" Conner said in approval, reaching out and moving it's head. They all jumped as the wall began to move upward, revealing an underground room that was filled with machines.

"I could do a crazy video in here." Kira grinned with awe.

"This must be like the mother ship for you dude." Conner said, clapping Ethan on the shoulder.

"Normally, I'd be insulted ... but when you're right, you're right!" Ethan laughed, then looked around as Conner reached over to grab a red stone that was resting on a rock alongside 3 others: yellow, blue and pink.

"Conner, don't touch that!" Nicolette exclaimed as she ran up to his side, but she couldn't resist the urge to grab the pink stone.

"Why not?"

"You really are taking the 'dumb jock' to a whole new level." Ethan replied as Kira walked over.

"Another Dustin." Nicolette muttered under her breath with a roll of her eyes.

"Look, I have sat through enough lame science lessons to know that that thing looks fully prehistoric." Conner said with a sigh. "And it mean I don't have to miss practice."

"I hate to agree with him." Kira replied. "I really do, but I already missed one rehearsal."

No longer able to resist the urge, the four teens grabbed the gems and looked them over.

"Well, what are they?" Kira asked, rolling the yellow gem between her fingers.

"I can go onliine later, and see if I can find out." Ethan said as he studied the blue gem, making Conner laugh.

"You in front of a computer. Wait, let me put on my surprised face." Conner said as the red gem stopped glowing, and Ethan scowled at him.

"You know, 10 years from now, when your hair line is receding and you're playing pick-up soccer in the park because your dreams of turning pro never quite worked out, I'll have my own multi-million dollar software business." Ethan grinned, as he slipped into fantasy land.

"Kira, where are you going?" Nicolette called after her, who was making her way to the exit.

"I don't wanna think about what kinda freak lives in a place like this, and I sure don't want to be here when he gets home."

The three remaining teens looked at each other. "Right behind you!" They called, running after her.

XxXxXxXxX

"This way!" Ethan yelled, making a beeline for the light that came from the side of the tunnel walls. The others followed him and they made it out of the tunnels and were back in the forest. "Anyone have a compass?" He asked.

"And I was going to bring one!" Conner said sarcastcaly.

The wind suddenly blew. "What was that?" Nicolette asked nerviously.

Suddenly a second burst of air, came through with a strange howl. And suddenly a dozen black armor plated monsters appeared in front of them.

"Don't ... move!" Conner breathed.

"Great idea." Kira growled. "Make it easier for them."

"New plan." Etahn said.

"RUN!" Nicolette cried, and the two took off running. Conner, and Kira quickly followed. Conner, and Ethan leapt over a ditch easily. But the girls missed the edge and slide back into the ditch.

"Conner! Ethan!" Nicolette cried as both she and Kira tried to climb out of the ditch. And the boys ran back to help them; Conner helping Nicolette as Ethan helped Kira.

"Come on!" Conner yelled, and they continued to run as the monsters continued to chase them.

Nicolette turned slightly to see the monsters still chasing them, she turned back around and slammed in Kira. The two fell to the ground, and Nicolette grabbed her ears as an ear-splitting scream erupted.

Turning, Nicolette saw Kira who's eyes were wide, staring at the floored monsters.

"Whoa." Nicolette gaped as the boys came running back to them, helping them up.

"What ... was that?" Ethan asked in awe.

"I have no idea." Kira admitted, she looked down at the glowing yellow stone in her hand. She blinked as an image of a pterodactyl appeared on her stone.

The monsters recovered, and lunged at the teens once more. Instinctively, the teens split up. Nicolette slid to a stop, she turned and looked around not able to see the others.

"Ok, don't panic!" She told herself. "You're a Bradley for crying out loud!" Suddenly the monsters surrounded her, then they attacked, and she cried out as she quickly held up her hands, the monsters bounced off a light pink shimmering shield.

"Wow." She breathed, before reaching into her jeans pocket and pulled out the glowing pink gem, and an image of a Brachiosaurus flashed in her mind's eye.

"Over here!" Conner called, and the four regrouped, all holding their gems with amazement. And all of them had developed different abilities coming from the stones.

"How much do I love detention?" Ethan laughed.

"Hey!" The four jumped and looked around, and immediately pocking the stones as Dr. Oliver rushed over. "Are you guys alright?" He asked.

"Yeah." Ethan nodded. "Couldn't be better."

"Anything out of the ordinary happened?" Tommy asked carefully.

"Nope, just your routine hike in the woods." Nicolette replied.

"Lots of fury little creatures!" Ethan added.

"And a few scaly ones." Kira muttered.

"So, you get into the dino exhibit?" Conner quickly diverted the conversation away, and Tommy shook his head looking a little troubled.

"Still working the kinks out." He answered. "We better get you guys back. Come on." He looked towards the trees before heading off.

"Don't you think we should tell him?" Nicolette asked. "I can't get caught in the middle of some science experament." She said looking troubled.

"I don't know about you." Ethan said. "But I've got over a thousand sci-fi DVD's. You want to know how many times the dude with the superpowers ends up in some government lab, lying on a table with wires in his head?"

"Even I know that." Conner agreed.

"But." Nicolette started to protest.

"Are you guys coming?" Tommy called, turning around to face them. The teens looked each other before following him.

XxXxXxXxXx

"Ok, so we all agree?" Conner asked as the four of them walked through the school grounds. "Not to talk about this to anyone?"

Nicolette shook her head. "Already told you, I'm not going to be apart of whatever this is." She turned and got in front of the others. "So the new girl is out." She dropped her gem into Conner's hand. "Goodbye, and good luck."

And with that Nicolette turned and stalked off.

But she didn't get far, as the wind picked up like it had done in the woods, and it was followed by a howl.

"Uh oh." In a blink of an eye, the same monsters as the ones in the woods appeared, surrounding her.

"Nicolette!" She heard Conner, and looking over she barley got to see him, Kira, and Ethan rushing towards her. But as soon as the monsters appeared, they were gone - along with Nicolette.

"She's gone!" Ethan gasped, as Kira picked up Nicolette's backpack and looked at the two boys.

"What do we do now?" She asked.

XxXxXxXxXx

Conner's car screeched from taking a corner to fast, and Kira grunted as she clung to her seatbelt.

"Where are we going?" She called.

"Uh, Dr. Oliver's?" Ethan weakly offered.

"What's he gonna do?" Conner exclaimed, almost in a panic.

"You wanna be careful Conner?!" Kira demanded. "You're going to get pulled over again!"

"He's a dinosaur guy!" Ethan told the driver, who ignored Kira. "These things are dinosaurs ... sort of."

Just then music sounded from inside Nicolette's backpack, and the teens exchanged looks, before Kira dived into the bag and pulled out Nicolette's cell phone and a picture of a guy filled the screen with the name 'Hunter' flashed in black.

"Answer!" Ethan said, as he turned sideways to look at the backseat.

"No way!" Kira tossed the phone to him. "You!"

"Not me!" Ethan tossed the phone back to her. "What if it's her dad?"

"Then it'd say 'dad' instead of 'Hunter'!" Kira tossed the phone back to the front.

"Will somebody answer the damn phone?!" Conner yelled.

Ethan who was holding the phone at the time, gulped before yelping when Conner took another corner to fast, and the cell phone flew out of his hands through the passenger's side window. "Oops!"

"If those dino monsters don't kill us!" Kira said, as she had turned around to face out the rear window only to watch the cell phone get smashed on the side of the road. "Then Nicolette deffently will!"

"Where's does Dr. Oliver live?" Conner asked, annoyed.

"Uhh." Ethan reached for a device that was in his packpack, and waitied for it to show. "1992 Valencia Road."

Conner nodded, before pausing. "That's like, way out in the middle of the woods."

XxXxXxXxXx

After finally finding the house, Conner pulled up outside and the three climbed out and headed for the porch. Conner peered in through the windows, before letting out a cry as a German Shepard appeared in front of the window, and instantly started barking from inside.

"Ahhh, is the big jock afraid of dogs?" Kira teased Conner with a wide grin.

"Knock again." Ethan said once there was no answer, so Kira once again did. And still no answer. Frowning Conner knocked, and this time the door opened.

"What are you doing?" Kira hissed as Conner walked inside.

"It's not locked." The jock shrugged.

"He has no neighbors." Ethan pointed out, and Conner gave him a look.

"You never heard of 'The Three Bears'?" He asked walking into the house.

"Was that the last book you ever read?" Kira asked sarcasticly as she, and Ethan followed him.

The same German Shepard came bounding out of the living room, when he saw the three teens he started growling and barking louder this time.

"Easy Fido." Conner said nerviously as the three backed away from the angry dog, they turned and rushed into a different room, which happened to be the Study.

"Dr. Oliver!" Ethan called, but still no response.

"Hey, check it out!" Conner spotted a tiny T-Rex statue, he reached out to touch it.

"Remember the last time you did that?" Kira asked.

"The guy's a science teacher." Conner said board, touching the skull. "Not." He trailed off as a panel of the floor lifted up. "Batman." He finished as the three stared at the secret entrance.

The three walked down the steps, and staared at the place that they had been in not that long ago.

"This is the same place!" Ethan exclaimed, looking around.

"Are you freaking out right about now?" Conner asked.

"Ohh yeah." Kira answered.

"If you're looking for extra credit." A voice behind them, had the teens jump and spin around to see their teacher. "You're in the wrong place." He did not look happy.

XxXxXxXxXx

Hope you like it!
