I don't own the characters or the show.
--Chapter 2.
(I couldn't recall their screen names so I of course made some up)
First Clu, Irene, and Ned. And judging by the time he could add Molly and Carey to the missing list. Annie had been gone for quite awhile, she was pretty good at checking in, so she was added to the list as well. Jack scared no not scared, he was petrified. He had no idea what was going on and he felt helpless for some reason.
He decided just to wait thinking they'd be back at any moment and he was working himself into a dizzy for nothing. But he knew he wasn't, his gut was telling him something was seriously wrong. Jack didn't know what to do; the police won't be of any help for at least 24 hours.
"Fiona!" He screamed out loud while running to his laptop he got for a birthday gift and immedialy logged onto the net. There was no saying she would even be online, but he was praying hard as possible for her to be. After two fail connections he was finally on. Jack nearly began to cry when he saw Fi's screen name on his buddy list, knowing he wasn't alone.
JLPhillips: Fiona!
Magicbeans: Hey bro! What's up?
What's up? Jack wasn't sure if he'd be able to explain it.
JLPhillips: Everyone is gone.
Magicbeans: What do you mean by that?
JLPhillips: That everyone is gone, vanished, disappeared!
Magicbeans: Very funny Jack. Good try but I told I'm done with the paranormal stuff.
Jack knew this was what he got for the years of teasing Fi for her interests in things he couldn't fathom.
JLPhillips: I know that, but I'm not joking.
Magicbeans: Aunt Melinda needs to use the computer. But she said you could call here if you want. Just no more talk about people disappearing LOL.
She than signed off and Jack was left staring at the screen with disbelieve. Finally he realized he had been given permission to call so he rushed out the room so fast that he stepped right onto the glass.
"Shit!" There was some bleeding and the pain was horrendous. That was what he deserved for breaking it and not cleaning it up. Jack limped over to the phone and dialed the ten numbers.
"Hello?" Fiona picked the phone up on the second ring.
"It's me."
"What took you so long to call?"
"I was trying to determine if I needed medical attention or not."
"Why!? What happened!?"
"It's nothing just stepped on some glass. I'll be fine."
"Did mom look at it?"
"That would be on the side of impossible."
"Jack I told you to cut that out!" She sound sincerely pissed off.
"Look Fi I'm not joking God I wish I was. But the truth is something is seriously wrong here." There was a pause, Jack thought Fiona hung up and for some reason he couldn't hear the dial tone.
"What happened?" Finally he was getting somewhere.
"I'm not sure. Everyone is gone. First Clu, we were on the bus just the two of us both taking naps. When mom and Carey came in Clu was nowhere to be found. You know it's not like Clu to leave without a note or something."
"Yeah I know, go on."
"Then mom and Carey went to bring dinner home, a 20 minute trip and it's been nearly 90 minutes. Ned and Irene came in and were hanging out in the living room. When I came out of the bedroom to get something to clean up the glass, they were gone as well."
"What about Annie?"
"She went to some park a few hours ago and hasn't come back since."
"Did you say you had to clean up the glass? The same glass you stepped on?" Jack couldn't understand why that mattered. But he thought Fi must have something in mind.
"Yeah it was my lamp."
"How did the lamp get broken?"
"I was pissed that I couldn't get 10 minutes of quiet."
"Whoa hold on! Did you say out loud anything like I wish it could be quiet forever?"
"Yeah a couple times."
"Um Jack you're in some deep shit. I have to eat dinner now. So I'll make this quick so listen good. Take the sherds of glass and put them in bowl filled with water. Light three candles next to the bowl. Then get a knife carve a tiny "X" into the table. Say I take back my wish, restore everything as it was before six times. Good luck."
"I don't understand the point of thi—"
"Sorry Jack I got to go. I love you."
"Hey love you too, I'll call you tomorrow ok." The phone was then hung up.
