Skye's Notes: Three notes:
1. My birthday was 2 days ago, and from my brother (that's right, "Allen") I got the Pearl Harbor soundtrack!
2. I'm really sorry, but this will be the last time this story is updated for a week. Why? Tomorrow, I leave for a trip to Yellowstone. But I will be writing A LOT in the car, and I may write a chapter or two of To 2001. Needless to say, I will be very close to my family after this.
3. In this chapter, you'll notice Skye mentions "Super Mega Army Man" and "The Adventures of the Invisible Elf." These are not real, but I do own the ideas.
With all that said, here, for your reading enjoyment: To 2001!
To 2001!

"Don't move, don't talk," I whispered. "Maybe if they don't know we're here, they'll go away."
"Skye, that never works," Allen murmured as I walked slowly over to the window. I peered out through the shades.
"It's Lionel!" I hissed. Rafe had wiped the blood from his nose.
"I'll get it!" he said, grinning. I supposed he thought he was doing us a favor. After a chorus of "No, don't answer it!" yells from Allen and I and a series of confused looks from Danny, Rafe and Evelyn, Rafe finally opened the door. And, as predicted, Lionel started talking a mile a minute.
"Hi! Can Allen play? I'm Lionel and I live across the street! Who are you? Are you Allen's uncle? No, you don't look like him. Why are you here? Are you a burglar? What makes grass green? How come the sky's blue? Skye! Can Skye play too?" he rattled. Rafe had a flustered look on his face.
"Uh, Allen and Skye can't run now? I mean play. Yeah, play," Rafe replied after watching us do Charades from upstairs to make him say what he said with a series of complicated gestures.
With that, Lionel nodded. "Ok, bye, see ya later!" Rafe closed the door. Allen let out the breath he had been holding.
"That was disturbing," Danny said, not taking his eyes off of the door.
"We have to deal with that 24/7 since Lionel moved in," I said. Danny shuddered. I nodded. "Now what?"
"Uh, my eye hurts," Danny said.
"No kidding. Come on," I muttered. I filled a bag with ice and handed it to Danny. He held it over his eye. I sat down in one of the yellow chairs in the kitchen and sighed. I took some crackers and spread peanut butter on them. I gobbled it down, getting a strange look from Danny.
"Want some?" I said with a mouthful of cracker, making crumbs fly everywhere. He shook his head. I brushed the crumbs off the table. I ate a few more peanut butter-cracker sandwiches and then went into the computer.
"Let's see if I can't get my files back," I mumbled to myself. After hours of manipulating my computer system, I had managed to get the files back, but I felt myself ready to doze off. I stumbled down the hall and changed into some pajamas. I flopped onto my bed and dozed off.
*********************
"Skye?" he said again. I opened my eyes.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. Danny was standing over me. I sat up, panting. "What do you want?" I yelped.
"Breakfast?" he suggested.
"Have some cereal." I assumed he left, so I went back to sleep. In a matter of minutes, somebody poked me.
"I'm hungry!" they whined. I looked up and saw that Danny hadn't left. I rolled my eyes.
"Go AWAY. I'm trying to sleep here!" I grumbled.
"But I'm-," I rolled my eyes. I knew the last word would be 'hungry.'
"I don't care! Eat something! I don't care what, just leave me ALONE!" I bellowed. He looked a bit freaked out and then he left. I heard one of those shows only Allen would watch, like "Super Mega Army Man" and "The Adventures of the Invisible Elf."
Super Mega Army Man was the story of an Army man moving up in rank. He was shot by a laser and turned into Super Mega Army Man! Now he fights crime! I knew it was lame.
The Adventures of the Invisible Elf was about an elf that lived in a magical forest. He carried around a bag of magic dust, so when he needed to, he could sprinkle some on himself and become invisible. The Elf was being followed by an evil queen bent on world domination.
I groaned and rolled over, pulling a pillow over my head. Someone jumped on my bed.
"Invisible Elf Power Up!" I heard Allen scream in my ear. I bolted up in horror.
"Auuuuuuuuuuuugh! Go away! Can't a girl get ANY sleep around here?" I shrieked, running from the room. I took a deep breath. I was already in a bad mood. This was not a good sign.
I mumbled about not being appreciated as I stumbled down the hall, still half asleep. "The Adventures of the Invisible Elf" intrigued Evelyn and Rafe. Allen walked down the hall and sat next to them and then explained the entire plot line of the show, going into great detail, even telling the color of the Queen's magic eyes (gray).
Rafe and Evelyn kept watching TV until "Magic Levitating Turkey" was over. I rolled my eyes. I hated shows like that, so I did the only think I could think of. I baked a cake with three layers. I walked down the hall to get a few mints out of the candy dish to stud the cake with, but as soon as I took a mint, I heard a splat, and a curse word.
