Chapter Two:
A voice beside Emily's head grumbled angrily, "If you didn't notice that happened to be my ear! Kindly refrain from screaming again!" The boy on top of Emily rolled to the left and sat up.
"Uh . . . s-sorry," he stuttered. "I um didn't mean to fall on you." Kit stared at the boy in shock. Then she turned her head to the right. Another boy sat there. He had blonde hair falling over his forehead and an eyepatch over one eye.
"What are you doing in my house?" she asked uncertainly.
"Emily, are you alright?" Mor nearly shrieked. "Who are you people and what are you doing in Emily's house?"
"Who are you?" a voice asked.
"Jack, I don't think we're in Manhattan any more."
"You think, David! The girl said we're in Emily's house! Wherever that is! Don't you ever listen!"
"Well of course I do, Mush!" A clamor arose in the house and increased in noise until it was annoying.
"Everyone just be quiet!" Gabby yelled above the noise. After everything quieted Gabby continued. "All of the guys, go over to that half of the room. All the ladies will come over here. You," Gabby pointed at a boy," tell me who you are and where you're from." The boy she pointed to stepped forward.
"I'm Blink. This is Jack, David, Mush, Racetrack, and Spot. We're from Manhattan, New York except for Spot who is from Brooklyn."
"Thank you. I'm Gabby. These are my friends: Emily, Katrina, Jess, Elizabeth, and Megan. Emily goes by Kit, Katrina goes by Mor, Jess goes by Flip, Elizabeth goes by Silky, and Megan goes by Irish. You are in Kit's basement in Denver, Colorado. The year is 2006."Gabby concluded. The boys stood in shock until Kit spoke up.
"Is anyone hungry?" Everyone was so they trooped upstairs to the kitchen. Jack, David, Mush, Mor, Gabby, and Silky took seats at the table. The others stood around the table and watched as Emily rummaged around in the freezer. She came up with a bunch of hot pockets. Blink followed her over to the microwave and watched fascinated and curious as she warmed the first two hot pockets. Emily had to smile when Blink jumped back with a yell when the microwave let out a loud beep to let them know the first two hot pockets were done. She took them out and set them on the table on a plate.
"How does it work?" Blink asked in awe.
"How does what work?" Emily glanced up at him.
"That . . . thing," he answered.
She smiled, " I'll show you. You press this button and the microwave door opens." At Blink's confused face she quickly explained what the microwave was. "Then you put the food in and close the door. Then press the numb-"
"What happens if you don't close the door?" Blink interrupted.
"I'm not quite sure. And I don't think I want to find out." After Blink nodded she continued. "You press the numbers for how ever you long want to heat it for. If it is a minute you can just press start. After it's done heating it beeps to let you know it is done. Do you want to try?" Blink nodded, and when the food in the microwave was done she let him do it." He pressed the button to open the microwave and put the food in. Then he closed the door. He looked at Emily.
"Now what do I do?"
"Press start."
"It's moving!"
"Yes, the plate inside rotates the food," Emily said simply. She had to laugh at the amazement written all over Blink's face. Emily turned to face those at the table and found that four people had left. After the beep Blink reached inside to take the hot pockets out. He dropped it with a yell.
"It's hot!"
"Yes, things that come out of the microwave are usually hot." she smiled again and turned back to the table. "Where did Spot, Race, Irish, and Flip go?" Emily inquired.
Author's Note:
