Chapter 2

Aya handed Kaya her coffee and put Alex's on the table.

"Omgs! Thanks Aya! You're a life saver!" Said Kaya as she inhaled deeply.

"Mmmmmhh" she added while taking sips of her coffee "Soooooo. Gooooood."

"Welcome Kaya" Aya looked into her purse and pulled out the carburetor "also, I finally found it!"

"Yes!" she exclaims as she grabbed the carburetor, "The last piece!" Kaya ran over to the tarp in the corner and flung it open before starting to work on putting the carburetor in place.

"Oh my I'm so excited! What now?!" asked Aya as she went and sat down on the couch across from the machine, still sipping her drink.

"I'm excited too, this is going to amazing! Well," answered Kaya as she joined her friend on the couch, "Kat, needs to get here and make sure I got this right and do a few things that I can't do. Other then that, we're ready to go!"

"Well she better hurry up or else I'll drink her latte" joked Aya.

"You better share!" Giggled Kaya.

"Hey. Sorry guys I was looking at the blue prints for another project I'm working on and I got caught up in it. My ADHD is acting up again." Said Alex as she came in carrying a small stack of folders. Seeing the drink sitting on a small table, she squealed, which was something very out of character for her, and said "Oh my god you brought me coffee! I love you guys so much!" She then started chugging the coffee as if it was her last meal on earth.

"If you love me now you're gonna worship me when I tell you two things as well: one, I finally found the carburetor and two, I added sugar and chocolate to the coffee" Said Aya.

"Ok I officially worship you." She answered before downing the rest of her drink. "So have you fitted it on yet?" Alex asked.

"Kaya just did!" Aya was practically jumping up and down with excitement "Oh I can't wait to get working wands to annoy the teachers!"

"Oh my god yes! I'm so excited I'm practically hyperventilating! I just have to connect a couple more wires from underneath and we are good to go."

Alex set her drink down and grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers from the toolbox. "It'll only take a second." She said as she rolled herself under the huge machine on a steel creeper.

"I still have questions about the machine you know?" Said Aya as she advanced to look carefully at it. "Like, does it work on shows as well as books?"

"It should." Came Alex's muffled voice from under the monstrous machine. "But we'd have to have a copy of the show or movie on disc. Otherwise it won't work." She pokes her head out from under the machine. "Hey could you hand me a Phillips screw driver and a monkey wrench from the tool box please? I forgot I put a cover over the main wiring system and I've been trying to unscrew it with the pliers but its really not working."

"Sure" Aya walked away to the toolbox and grabbed the screwdriver and wrench and brought them back to Alex, crouching next to her to have a look at the wiring.

"You know, you won't need any of those tools if you just get the Doctor's sonic screwdriver" she pointed out "need anything else?"

"Nope I'm good. And yes. As soon as we start bringing stuff out of books we won't have to bother with regular stuff anymore. Oh god it's gonna be great." She said before she ducked back under the machine to wire the last 6 wires together. A couple minutes later she climbed out from under it. "Ok. That's that. Now I just have to flip the switch and get it warmed up and we are good to go. The only problem is that when I turn it on it may overload the system for a second, so if all of the lights blink out for like 30 seconds don't freak out, ok? I'm gonna turn it on now." After setting her tools in the toolbox she went over to the side where a black screen would soon be used to select the settings of the machine and flipped the switch. Immediately after she flipped it the entire hidden warehouse went completely dark. "Ok, nobody panic, the lights will come back on in like 3 minutes if not sooner, wait a sec, I've got a lighter on my somewhere... Aha, here it is!" She said as she flicked on a lighter, giving her face an eerie glow. "Everyone doing ok?" She asked.

"I'm good!" Aya's voice came out from the darkness, soon to be illuminated by Alex's lighter "Kaya?"

"Yep! Doing good!" A small voice answered.

As the current turned back on, Aya started looking through the humongous library they had acquired over the years.

"Ok guys what book should we test it on first?" She asked, overwhelmed by all the possibilities.

"Oh man," Kaya groaned. "So. Many. To. Chose. From."

"Aha!" Aya exclaimed as she picked up a book "How about this one?" She was holding their copy of the last Heroes of Olympus book.

"Amazing series, great ending, and extremely hot fictional guy characters," Kaya paused, with a smile on her face. "Sounds good to me!"

Aya handed then the book to Alex.

"I'm so excited," Kaya whispered.

"Believe me I am as well" Aya said while clutching Kaya's hand and she squeezed it back.

"Ok." Said Alex as she keyed in a few commands into the machine and put the book through a little slot in the side. "What items do we want to 'print' out?"

"Hmmmm" thought Aya "What about a sword to start easy?"

"Ok how about the main character's sword? Anaklusmos?" Asked Alex.

"Yeah that sounds good to me" Aya nodded

"Ok. Here goes nothing." Says Alex as she hits the huge red button on the front of the machine.

A whirring sound starts, then a bright light fills the room and the whirring sound increases to a piercing screech. When the light and noise fades away, the three girls are suddenly no longer in their hidden warehouse.

"Oh god my head, what the hell just happened?" Asks Alex.
