I know this would be like my third time retelling the story, but it's always the easiest way for me to have a crossover..


LOS SANTOS/CURRENT DAY:

"She stumbled into that?" Carly asked, seeing a time machine, which must have been the same one she herself once fell into once herself. Where she ended in 1940's Los Angeles.

"She was so hammered last night she didn't know her name, called herself Princess Mustard. And jump right in against my warning, setting it to 1899, said something about meeting her ancestor, Sadie.'' The professor that recently moved to town. Why is anyone's guess. Same with why he made a time machine in the first place.

Carly looked closer at the machine, seeing it's quite busted up, no way they could use it to get Sarah back.

"How long till you can fix it?"

"maybe a year, or maybe 3 months, who knows for certain. Anyway, you guys should be able to call her on her phone if you wanna check on her." The professor said.

"I will try. Where is she?" Carly asked.

"Charts say she met up with the famish Van Der Linde gang. She ended up in Valentine, a small town in New Hangover."

"Is that New Austin?" Carly asked.

"Above it." Johnny replied, looking at a map.

"And not too far outside of San Andreas itself." He added.

"Is she safe?" Carly asked.

"Well, it's hard to be safe in western America. But she's certainly safer with Dutch." The professor admitted.

"Except from Micah." Johnny admitted.

"Who?" Carly asked.

"He's basically the Trevor of Dutch's group. Only I think Micah was worse. Least Trevor had limits, and actually cares about us in the end." Johnny admitted.

"Hmm, I see." Carly replied.


NEW HANGOVER/1899:

The next morning, Sarah wakes up early, having that awkward moment where you just kinda stare around when nobody else is up. But from Sadie's tent, Sadie's quiet snore keeps her awake. She looks around; she's still in Dutch's camp at Horseshoe Overlook. An empty pot of land just near the town of Valentine, where Dutch's gang set up their camp. She discreetly checked the time on her phone. 5am.

Sarah carefully got up, and decided she might as well get an early start, and gave herself another tour and she explored the camp carefully not to wake anyone, especially as a good few had no tents and were using sleeping bags around the camp. On the bright side, there was still that pot of coffee next to one of the fires, and she poured out a cup. Black, but can't have everything. But as she does so, suddenly her modern phone rumbles from her pocket, she thankfully has no ringtone so it just vibrates in her pocket. Sarah runs towards a nearby forest just outside of the camp so nobody sees her, and she answers it, somehow not spilling her cup as she accidentally presses facetime rather than a regular call. But decides to go with it anyway.

"You're okay, thank god." Carly replied in relief.

"I'm fine." Sarah said, showing her some of the camp from the phone. Getting a sleeping Lenny in the shot by accident.

"It's kinda beautiful." Carly replied.

"Yes, the leader Dutch said it's a place called Horseshoe Overlook. Some empty bit of land the other leader Hosea found for them to hide out in." Sarah said.

"You find her?" Johnny asked, entering into the room.

"Hi Johnny." Sarah said quietly.

"Hey. You alright?" Johnny responded.

"Not so loud, they might hear you." Sarah said. Carly and Johnny node.

"Anyway. I met Sadie.. I introduced myself as her cousin. Dutch bought it, but Sadie clearly doesn't.. Truthfully, she's kinda rude."

"Give her time." Carly replied quietly.

"Least that Lenny guy has been really sweet, so has Charles and Marybeth.. Dutch and Arthur have been really kind to me two, honestly makes Dutch's future really tragic." Sarah said quietly.

"It does. No one's really born crazy." Carly replied.

"Still though, what the fuck happened, why am I in 1899?" Sarah cried in a whisper yell.

"Wow, you really were drunk weren't you." Johnny teased.

"I must've been." Sarah responded

"A professor I know.. He said you came in hammered and threw yourself into a time machine for no direct reason near as he could tell.. Well you gave a reason, but you also called yourself Princess Ketchup so it wasn't very reliable." Carly explained.

"Damn." Sarah responded.

"So yeah. When you come back, please don't go into any more time machines." Carly teased,

"Just get me home." Sarah said dryly.

"And where might that be?" came a new voice, Sarah spins around to see Micah Bell stepping out from behind a few trees, facing her. Holding a Repeater Carbine he was using to keep watch of the camp.. He never sleeps anyway, maybe six hours at the most. Because of this, they never bothered making a bed for him. Though he sometimes sleeps underneath a tree.

"M Micah.. Hey." Sarah said nervously. Still holding the phone and Carly ends up seeing him from the screen. Micah's nose is still bandaged up from when Sarah hit him with her gun, but he's otherwise in good health.

Micah looked at the phone looking at Carly.

"H Hello." Carly said awkwardly.

"What is this Amber? I knew there was something off about you. New York my ass."

New York is where Sarah claimed to be from, when actually it's Vice City. Well she was born and grew up in San Andreas, but likes to say she's from Vice, even though it's only been since she was 19. And met Tommy almost immediately at arriving, so she barely even got to really explore the city.

"I.. I come from the future." Sarah admittedly reluctantly.

"So, Mrs Future, are you a spy?" Micah asked, not joking either.

Sarah doesn't respond, which angers Micah. Without warning he suddenly draws the Repeater Carbine, and fires into her stomach. Poor Sarah falls onto her back, the gunshot waking everyone up. Her coffee spilled over the ground.

"Are you a fucking spy!?" Micah cried violently. Sarah again doesn't respond. Micah picks up the phone, demanding answers out of Carly. Who simply just ends the facetime call, exiting herself from the conflict. Micah turns his attention back to Sarah, and prepares to kill her with the gun, but suddenly Dutch steps in front of him. "Enough Micah!" Dutch cried sternly, almost fatherly even.

"She's from the future!" Micah cried.

"She's one of us, future or not." Dutch said, taking away Micah's gun, and sending him to Dutch's tent, like he was punishing a child. Micah swears under his breath annoyedly and walks over. Dutch picks Sarah up, taking her to Susan Grimshaw who would take out a medkit, and operates on her, and she rests on Arthur's bed, as he and the Dutch are the only ones with mattresses. She ends up spending the night on it, Arthur himself goes over to Valentine and rents a room so he would have a place to sleep for the night.

"I warned you Dutch, Micah is a problem." John Marston said.

"Micah is just a little trigger happy, but he's a good man." Dutch said nievely.

"Whatever you say boss." John replied, unconvinced.

Dutch examines Sarah's phone, as I'm sure anyone would at the time. But ultimately gives it back to her, sensing it was important.

Grimshaw stayed with Sarah til she fell asleep. As despite her rude tough love demeanor not exactly making her the most likable woman in the world. She's still the team mom. Like how Hosea Matthews is the team dad, though Hosea is admittedly a lot more likable and friendly.

Carly would honestly really get along with Hosea, I'm sad I never really established a relationship between them in the other two stores before his death. And didn't feel as emotional as it should have. Same with Lenny and maybe Sean.. This story will try to make up for that.

My problem was, trying to throw in so many characters. I couldn't really keep track. Sarah Amber by herself should be a lot easier..
