"Warped"
Chapter One: Waffles and Lasers
Ahhh. . . . A Saturday morning couldn't get more peaceful. . . Except in Peaceville.
Everyone slept till giant blazing star rose above the town and community of Peaceville, with its streets clear and the volume quiet. The light had shone through Laney's window as she tossed and turned. After a minute or so, the bassist yawned and opened her eyes. All she saw was the bright sun shining before her hand covered the window.
She then got up and stretched before walking slowly towards the window and closing the blinds. Though she did have a questionable look on her face.
'Who opened the curtains?' She thought, being she had never had the curtains opened before she went to bed. 'I guess Mom did it earlier or something. . .' She shrugged it off while walking towards her mirror but she saw her hair was a mess.
"Can't have hair like this for today." She said with a spunky attitude. The first thing she did was run to her closet and chose her outfit to wear for the day.
Corey hoped out of his chair and checked his calendar. Taking a sharpie, he put an X on the previous Friday the 17th. There was a smile plastered on his face as his eyes scanned the month.
"Twelve more days till Sludgefest. . " He said. He then turned away from the calendar and bolted for his door. Making it to the steps, Corey quickly stopped so he wouldn't trip. There was a weird aroma coming from the kitchen and he recognized it. His eyes shot wide open as his realizations were true.
"Dad's Once A Month Special Blueberry Drizzled Waffles?!"
Corey sprinted down the stairs and into the kitchen to see what he thought was 2 small mountains of delicious, crispy waffles. Before he could do anything, his dad came from the side and poured syrup down it. They both watched as the syrup flowed down waffle stacks like snow in a blizzard on a freezing winter day.
He let out a sigh before walking over to the table and grabbing a seat across from his dad. He didn't notice Corey until he sat down though.
"Oh, Morning son, you almost scared me there." He said with a chuckle before taking a sip of his coffee and noticing Corey still in his pajamas. "Uh, you don't plan on wearing that all day, do ya?"
Before he could answer, Trina barged into the kitchen and had her nose plugged. "Ugh! It like reeks in here!" The twenty-one year old looked like she was gonna puke but both her sibling and father could tell she was being overdramatic.
"Aww come on Kat, you used to love these. . ." Mr. Riffin tried to convince her but this made her a bit more aggravated.
"Dad. . . I TOLD you that my name is NO longer Katrina, it's TRINA! Second, I kinda liked those when I was like five or something. . ."
"More like seventeen. . ." Corey added under his breath.
"Whatever!" She obviously heard him. "Whatever the matter, they're like totes groddy. HASHTAG: GROSS!" The angsty teen then made her way towards the refrigerator.
Kin and Kon were in their shared Jetta as they rode over to Corey's to hang out. Although they wore their usual style of clothing, their was a bit of change of them today. Kon wore a backwards style cap with GB written on it and Kin's shirt was a Monster Jam shirt.
With Kon driving, he spotted in the corner of his eye a place to get breakfast. Kin didn't really pay attention to his brother's intentions until the car made a sharp turn towards a parking lot.
"Uh, Kon?"
"Yeah bro?" His eyes not leaving the road.
"What are you doing?" We're supposed to be on our way to Corey's"
"Yeah but who can hang out on an empty stomach?"
And that's when Kin finally looked up and saw that they were in the Bealchie's drive thru. He smirked and looked at his brother, who had a sheepish smile on.
"What? We didn't eat breakfast. . ."
Kin shrugged a bit. "True, I guess I'll get the usual. . ." He said while handing Kon three dollars. Kon took them right before pulling up to the speaker. A voice with crackles in the transmission followed.
"Hello, welcome to Bealchie's, May I take your order?"
Kin didn't really hear Kon order but was more interested in that question. . .'May I take your order. . .' But the people asking that are working at a restaurant. . . Why ask that if it's specifically their job to 'Take our order'? There's no point . . . is there?
This thought and more questions zoomed around his head for a while until he felt the food plop into his lap. He jumped a bit and forgot the whole conflict that went on in his head.
"Have a good day. " Kon then drove away and headed again for Corey's.
Within a minute of Corey opening the GrojDoor, Kin and Kon pulled into the driveway. They got out of their van with Kin holding the bag, now empty, and Kon still eating an Egg-A-Bealchies muffin. Corey scoffed as they entered and sat down.
"Y'know, you guys could've had some of the leftover waffles my dad made. . . right?"
They froze up and stared at him while he just chuckled. But before they could say anything, Laney had turned the corner of the street and into the Groj.
"What's up guys?" She said in an upbeat way.
"Yo!" Kin and Kon both said while Corey was turning around.
"Hey Lan-" He stopped before he could finish. That day, Laney looked incredible. She had worn her hair down so that it went towards her mid-back and had some curls on the tips. Some of her bags got in her face but she pushed them back. Corey's eyes went wide and a small smile grew on his face.
But before he started speaking again, he leaned back against the desk and missed it, immediately falling. The fellow Grojbandians ran over to help their fallen friend but he nodded saying he was ok. He then got up and motioned his bandmates towards the stage where they started setting up for their rehearsal.
"Soundcheck, one two. . " Corey started but was interrupted, again, by Trina, again. But this time Mina was following her like usual.
"Three four, you music always sucks Core. . .y." She said while chuckling. Mina on the other hand, was unamused. Sure she was the older sister to Grojband's rivals, The Newmans, but she didn't think Corey's was bad. In fact, she found their music soothing to listen to. She could never tell Trina this though. And speaking of Newmans. . .
Corey rolled his eyes at his sisters comment as she and Mina went to her room.

Right as they finished the song, a giant screech was heard from outside. The ground shook as if there was an earthquake, causing the band to fall on top of each other. They all held their heads while getting up to see that the person responsible was nobody other than. . .
"Hello Riffin. . ." Carrie said, exiting her car.
Larry, Kim, and Konnie proceeded to do the same on the other side. They all scoffed once entered into the Groj.
The annoyed band members put their instruments down to greet their rivals.
"What are you doing here Beff? Corey asked.
"Nothing that concerns you but if must know, I have to pick up my sis, MINA LET'S GO!"
Mina came out of Trina's room quickly but stayed on the balcony.
"Give me a sec Care! I gotta grab something." Mina dashed back into Trina's room, leaving the other teens and a very annoyed Carrie.
"God I hate it when she calls me that. . " Carrie muttered under her breath but somehow, Corey was the only one to hear.
"Oh what? You hate the name Care?" Corey asked sarcastically.
"You'd better shut up dude. . ." Carrie warned. Larry sighed, a bit concerned, and put his hand on Carrie's shoulder to try and calm her down.
"Or what?" Corey asked in response. Laney repeated Larry with Corey's shoulder. "You'll play some really crappy music?"
Carrie then pushed Larry away from her and shoved Corey towards the desk.
"Oh, you had this coming for a LONG time Riffin!" She yelled while cracking her knuckles. Carrie then punched Corey square across the face, causing his arm to hit the M.O.R., turning it on.
Larry then pried Carrie off of Corey, who held his head in pain. While Laney helped Corey up, Carrie then started shoving Larry, thinking he's a traitor. Nobody noticed the movement of the M.O.R. behind them.
"Why'd you do that Lens?" Carrie yelled at her boyfriend, who was backing up slowly. "You're not supposed to help out the enemy. . ." Her voice lowered. Before he could say anything in response, Larry had fallen to the ground. Kin looked in his direction and noticed the object he tripped on. A shoe. . .
Konnie noticed it too and picked it up, recognizing it instantly.
"Is . . .Is this Nick Mallory's shoe?"
All of a sudden, all eight teens heard shaking and a low humming noise. They all turned their attention towards the M.O.R., that had a red ring lit up on the outside of the lens with a blue light in the middle of it. Small sparks of electricity came from the machine as it focused and focused more and more causing it to shake more.
The group looked at it in curiosity and fear as eight thin blue lasers zapped out of it and hit them. With that, the eight teens were frozen as their bodes were sucked into the lasers that twisted back into the small device and left the room silent and empty with a giant flash of light.
Darkness. . .That's all Corey could currently see . . .That is until he opened his eyes. He saw a faint white light but that was due to brightness in his eyes. He tossed and turned to become more focused about his surroundings and after about a minute, he did. He blinked a few more times and saw that he was in a white room. A word one at that. The walls, floor, and ceiling looked like broken industrialized glass but they weren't in the middle of each wall and on the floor/ceiling, there was a square, big enough for a person to get through. Corey stood up to notice the small ladders on the walls as well.
He gulped in fear as he noticed that his attire was completely different. His beanie was gone and instead of his usual clothes, he wore what looked like a grey prison jumpsuit. Stitched near his left shoulder, was his last name. "RIFFIN".
In his mind, he began to panic, wondering where his friends were. He cautiously stepped foreword and kept doing so till he got to the right wall. He looked at the square and noticed a small handle on it. He looked around a bit before taking it and noticed that it was a bit loose. Corey then turned it to the left on instinct and realized that it was a door of some sorts. After spinning the handle counterclockwise twice, he heard a click. With that, he pulled on the door which came out of it's place and slid downwards a bit till it stopped.
It made a rusty noise that sounded like it needed oil or something. Corey looked around the room a bit before climbing the ladder on the wall to look through the door. Once he did, he saw that through there it was a small metallic tunnel and on the other side of it was an identical room to the one he was currently in. Only this room, was blue.
"Hello?" He called out into it but got no answer.
In the back of his head, he thought this was some kind of joke, but this was only the beginning to something big. . . .
I know I said I'd update "New Beginning II" first before this one but I'm starting to get a bit of writer's block again. . .Ugh!
Don't worry, I'll still get it up, just not within a certain time. . . Sorry. I hope that this chapter will make up for anything? I'm not even sure what I typed just made sense but I don't care. . .
Don't forget to Review or PM!
