2: The Portal
"Hey!" T smiled as I opened my locker. Our lockers were next to each other.
"How'd you do, you know, going against those villans by yourself?"
"Easy defeat. Are we still going to your house after school to work on our project?"
"Yep. My parents won't be home until five so we can use the lab." we walked into our first class. It was abuzz with news of a new girl.
"New girl?" I asked as I sat down. T nodded just as the teacher, Mr. Lancer, walked in.
"Time for class. Take out you books and turn to chapter three."
"So how do you feel about doing something with ectoplasm?" I picked up a jar of green goop. We were in the lab "As long as we get an A I'm fine." T turned his attention to me. "Whats that thing?" he pointed to the ghost portal my dad was almost finished with.
"Ghost portal. Doesn't work so far, no wonder. But Dad won't listen when I tell him ghosts don't exsist..." I trailed off.
"Then why not go inside? Maybe it does work!" T's blue eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Sure, whatever." I went and grabbed one of the specialized suits my dad had made. I might not believe in ghosts, but if he ever found out that I had used this without the suit then I would be in huge trouble. I noticed a picture under it, it was my mom as a kid. There were a few in an album she let me look at, most were her, my dad, and some kid they had been friends with. It looked like she was in front of a ghost portal that looked almost exactly like my dad's. I knew that my grandparents had been scientists, but I didn't know that they studied ghosts. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess. I pulled the suit on over my tanktop and shorts. T stared at the huge ghost-like D on my chest. "My dad's trademark symbol." I explained. T nodded.
I handed him the picture of my mom "Make the settings like the one on this picture."
T proceded to turn the nobs. Once he finished I started to walk over to the portal. "Wait," he stopped me and pulled the D off the suit "Don't need to go around with that on your chest." he waved it infront of me with a half smile on his face that always made my heart skip a beat. He reached for some sticky paper and a pencil and scribbled somthing on it. "There." he stuck it where the D once was. I looked at it, it was a ghostly looking 'Iz'. "Thanks." I smiled. I didn't really like it, it was cheap and stupid, but I would only have to wear this thing once.
Once inside the machine I found a series of buttons. "Green for go." I slapped the green button. Then a blinding green light came shooting out at me. I screamed. T screamed. Then the world went black.
