So, now Megan's in the past. We're starting out with Magazines & Made-Up Stuff from a new point of view- Megan trying to fit in and keep certain events from happening.
Chapter 2 - Megan's POV
"Whoa…" I muttered as I looked around. I recognized this stuff from pictures, but it was cool to see it in real life. I looked down at the small dog next to her. "I need to fit in," I thought out loud. "What did mom say kids sounded like? 'That is totes hilar…' How's that?" Chow barked in reply. "I'll take that as a 'good job'," I grinned. "Now to Cheetah Beat!" I said and marched off. I then turned to Chow.
"Where's Cheetah Beat?" I asked the dog. Chow barked and ran off, so I followed him. After all, he lead me to the time machine.
"Chow, this is Sonic Boom!" I whined. Chow barked and "pointed" to a woman with a camera. "Oh, that's Megan Simms!" I realized. Megan Simms was somewhat of my namesake, since she was a major part of mom and dad getting together. I ran up to the woman.
"Um, hi, I'm a new intern at Cheetah Beat, and, uh," I hadn't really planned what she was going to say, so I stuttered a little on my excuse. "Our boss wanted me to interview dad- Austin Moon for you!" I finally ended.
"Oh, well, okay," Simms said, slightly suspicious. She handed me the camera and headed off.
"That worked well," I said to Chow. Chow barked and started to head into Sonic Boom. "Stay, Chow," I told the chihuahua. "If you walk in, mom and dad will be suspicious." Chow whimpered a little but sat in the corner. I smiled, lifted the camera a little, and walked in. "Totes hilar, totes hilar," I said quietly.
"OMG, Austin Moon!" I yelled out as I walked in. Dad seemed surprised. "It's really you!" I then screamed in excitement and snapped a picture. "Wow, I'm a really good actress!" I thought.
"Not now kid," Uncle Dez said. "We're waiting for a reporter from Cheetah Beat!" I rolled my eyes.
"I am the reporter from Cheetah Beat," I told him. "Megan…Simms," I introduced myself to dad. He shook my hand.
"But, you're like, five!" he said, in shock. I started to yell out that "he gave birth to me 10 years ago" but remembered he didn't know me.
"I'm ten," I corrected him. "And, I don't usually get starstruck, but I am fuh-reaking!" I said and squeezed him. That time it wasn't acting- I was really excited to see my dad in the past.
"And I'm having trouble buh-reathing!" he replied. I tried not to laugh.
"Oh! You must be- Ally!" I almost said mom. Ugh! Get used to it, Megan! I then quickly snapped a photo. "Austin's songwriter… you're like the most epic girl, ev-ah!"
"Heh, thank you Megan!" mom thanked me. "Guys hear that?" she asked dad, Uncle Dez, and Aunt Trish. "Most epic girl, ev-ah!" I once again tried not to laugh at mom's horrible attempt to mimic me.
"Then let's get the interview started," Aunt Trish said as mom walked away, embarrassed.
"There's no interview," I said. Oops! Excuse, excuse, excuse… oh yeah! Dad once said that Aunt Trish lied about all the cool stuff he did- which he didn't do. I'll use that! "I'm here to see Austin do all the fun stuff he wrote about!"
"What?!" dad, Aunt Trish, and Uncle Dez cried, shocked.
"You want the cover, don't you?" I then continued to say something that dad used to say about me. "I'm young, but I'm powerful." They stared at me, shocked. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make a tinkle."
Dad, Aunt Trish, and Uncle Dez pointed to Sonic Boom's bathroom. After that, I made dad do all the things he lied about. How did that help any with keeping them from divorcing? It didn't. I just wanted to see if he would do it. And he did! But now I have to put the plan in motion.
Well, that was somewhat fun, but whatever. The rest of it will be completely original, so be ready!
