My name is Alex Westcott, and so far my life sucks eggs. Your probably wondering, oh my, why would dearest Rebecca, ever say something so terrible like that! Well the answer is: im obsessed with fictional characters. Seriously, I am, ask around. Anyway the problem is… their fictional characters, fictional, as in NOT REAL. Anyway, that little, problem changes today. Seriously it does, just stick around and keep reading. And trust me; this story gets better and better…

I was on , when a familiar voice shouted from downstairs. "Lexi, im home!" screamed mom. Rrrgh, what does she want now? "Come help with dinner!" she yelled. Gods, can't she tell im busy??? One day, im going to launch her in a cannonball, and fling her across America. "COMING!" I said weakly. When I jogged downstairs, there were a whole bunch of people lugging in some thing with a blanket over it. "Mom, why are there UPS dudes in the living room?" I asked. "Your dad ordered them in the house honey." Mom replied. "He says he has something important to show us." Oh great, this should be interesting. "Jennifer, you would never believe what the boys and I created at the lab today. I guess I should explain why my dad just said lab. Well, if you haven't figured it out by now, my dad's kind of an inventor. Seriously, once he created a holographic phone. It was so cool, but I 'accidentally' broke it. No further discussion needed. My dad ripped off the cover. "TA-DA!" he exclaimed. The thing looked like one of those time machines in the old movies. It was big, black and bulky. It had dust all over it, and 3 huge light bulbs on top of it. "Honey what is that thing?" mom said. "This is a one of a kind 3 dimensional transporter hyperactive technology machine." Dad said. "Um, in English please?" I said. He rolled his eyes. "In other terms, it's a portal to other worlds." Dad said. "Worlds, Like in kingdom hearts?" I said. "Well kind of, yes in fact it is." He replied. Whoa, this means, I could go to other worlds, other time dimensional. Like my favorite characters worlds. Oh. My. Gods. Im so freaking trying this baby out. "Oh, no you don't. Alex, do you know how dangerous this is?" mom said. Gods, was she a mind reader? "I agree Becca; the machine hasn't even been tested yet." Dad put in. Great just what I need, two mind reading parents. "Anyway, enough of the machine," my mom said, "Who up for pizza?"

I couldn't go to sleep that night, but really could you blame me? Downstairs in my living room, was probably my ticket to another world, another place. I was anxious to try it out. What if I could make it take me to destiny islands, or camp half-blood? So after the billionth time memorizing about the thing, I went downstairs to the living room to get a closer look. What I was so was crazy scary, but at the same time kind of cool. The portable thingy was glowing a bright color. Somewhere between purple and red, I couldn't quite make it out though. I went over to touch, me being curious, and the thing started to talk. Hello Alexandria Westcott! Good evening, what is your first destination? What the-? Did that thing just talk? Then out of nowhere, it sucked me in, and I blacked out.
