Okay, chapter 2. I'm going to try to get the plot really moving either this chapter, or the next.
It was finally the day of the party. The entire band had been waiting for today, since they've had nothing to do for the past week. They were going semi black tie and semi casual. Nat and Alex were waiting for the band to arrive in their apartment. Alex had invited Juanita, but she was going out to dinner with her parents that night. Nat was a little nervous, because he wanted to know if Rosalina liked what he was wearing.
"Bro, chill out! Rosalina's not gonna care what you wear." Alex said, teasing his brother a little. "If there's dancing, are you gonna dance together?" He soon received a smack on the head.
"Quiet!" Nat pointed to the door. "They're about to come in! She might hear you!" Nat quickly ran to the door.
"You do know that you do this every time we have to go to a dinner. You freak out about Rosalina, and just assume she's always at the door, o you freak out even more!" Alex rolled his eyes while grabbing a glass of milk.
"I do not!!" Nat thought he heard someone and checked the hall. He was just jittery. He sat down.
They were just waiting there for a while, just watching some TV. After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door and Alex went to go get it. Nat figured it was them, so he fixed himself, and went to the door too. Everyone was actually dressed up. David and Thomas were both wearing sports coats and nice pants. Qaasim looked like a cleaned up rocker, and Cooper was the same as always. Rosalina came into view. She was wearing a short summer dress, and Nat was stunned.
"Hey Nat." She smiled.
"Ummmm…..Hi Rosalina.. You look… um…." He was at a loss. But Rosalina knew what he meant and blushed.
"Thanks" It was very awkward. Suddenly, David broke the silence.
"Are you two just going to flirt all night, or are we going to party?!" Thomas nodded his head in agreement.
Nat cleared his throat. "Alright! Lets go you guys!!"
At first, they thought it was going to be another function where only old people attended, but in a notice they received, (a day until the party they might add!) but they told them that the children attending the program would be there too. They pulled up to the college, and said goodbye to Tuffy. It looked so elegant. They saw some kids there, but they were all dressed up, and not having fun.
They came inside, and a young man with glasses welcomed them. He was really short, and looked like every other adult in the room.
"Welcome!" He had a booming voice. "We were waiting for the famous Naked Brothers to arrive. Hi I'm Dr…."
He never got to finish. People started to mob the band asking for autographs. The band looked at each other and laughed. They signed a few autographs, played 1 or two songs, but then the party got really boring. The band was sitting together, each imagining how they could escape the party without getting caught. But whenever someone asked them how the party was, the smiled and lied through their teeth. Nat and Qaasim were having a staring contest, Alex was half-asleep, Rosalina was staring off into space, Cooper was talking to Ms. Scoglins near the punch bowl.
"I can't take it anymore!!" Thomas yelled out. Everyone began to stare. "Um…I said that out didn't I?" The whole band nodded. He tried to cover for himself by leaving the room. David, being his right-hand man, followed.
They took a look around the college. They walked around, and it seemed that in every room, there was some complicated equation or work being done. Thomas
"Hey Thomas. If you went here, you'd probably flunk out the first day!" David was enjoying torturing Thomas.
"Hey! I got a fantastic on my last test!" He had on a smug smile. David rolled his eyes.
"Dude! For the last time, F does not stand for fantastic!!"
David and Thomas started to laugh and joke around. They passed by a door when they saw flashing and heard rumbling. Being their curious selves, they went to check it out. Oddly there was nobody there. They figured it was because everyone was at that boring party. They found some stairs and walked down them. They were really dusty and full of cobwebs, and it looked like nobody had been there for ages.
They finally got down the stairs, and saw a room with nothing in it but a weird machine, and a whole bunch of schematics all over the place. They took a look at the machine. The room looked like it hasn't been touched in a good while, the machine looked brand new.
"Man, it feels like something outta Frankenstein!" David frowned and looked toward the exit. "Come on man, this is freaking me out…"Thomas gave him a smirk.
"What are you chicken?! Let's see what this bad boy can do!" He walked towards the strange machine. He looked at the circuitry. "This looks like that robot movie!" What was that called?"
"Robots, now can we go?! He tried to leave, but Thomas wouldn't go.
Meanwhile at the party, half an hour passed, and Nat was worried. Not for them, for whatever they were going to break in there. Nat had a feeling those two knuckleheads were doing something they weren't supposed to. He motioned for the band to follow him. Nat told Cooper to stay there, in case David and Thomas come back. They walked through the hallways, and heard some noises. They went down the stairs. Rosalina was creeped out because she saw a lot of spiders. She clung to Nat.
"Oh my gosh! She hugging me! Okay, calm down Nat, you don't want to seem too eager. Just try not to spazz out. I can't believe this is happening!!" Nat looked down at the floor blushing.
They finally got down. They saw David and Thomas looking guilty. Qaasim looked at them suspiciously.
"I know you guys did something, and tell me what it is, so the rest of the band won't kill you." Qaasim motioned to the band, who were looking around.
Everyone walked around the empty room. Alex noticed the machine, and walked towards it. He looked at it, and pressed a button. The machine lit up and started to rumble. Alex was freaked out.
"Guys…come here!! I think I touched something I wasn't supposed to!" Alex stepped away from the machine.
Nat and the others ran towards it. The machine opened up, and it had a monitor. It showed the NBB when they were the Silver Boulders. Everyone was crowding around the machine.
"Hey this is pretty cool!" Nat smiled and leaned on the machine. He accidentally pressed a button. The machine started to rumble, and the monitor was acting really weird. The machine began to suck the band in! Everyone tried to run away, but they were still pulled in.
"Ahhhhhh!!" The band went straight into the monitor. The entire band blacked out…
