Chapter 4
When I opened my eyes, we were surrounded by trees, a forest.
"Wow. Talk about quick transportation." TJ said.
I grinned, "Right." I heard something. "Hoof beats?" I asked. Then the Andalite ran into view. "AHH!" I screamed.
"AHHH!" Sydney screamed.
"Cool!" TJ said.
AHH! The Andalite screamed. Sydney grabbed TJ's hand and we sped away at top speed, me in Iris and TJ and Syd on their hover boards.
"What was that thing?!" "An......an...Andalite." I said, panting.
"A what?"
"Andalite."
"Oh right." Syd said, "Like your great uncle War Prince Aximili, TJ."
"I know." TJ gets "grief" about his uncle being an Andalite. He doesn't get phased by it though, he just beats the crap out of the person. TJ's allot like his mother, I laughed a little. "What?" TJ asked, looking at me.
"It's just amazing, how much you act like your mom."
TJ grinned, "Yeah, my mom's great isn't she?"
"How's she doing with the baby coming so soon and all?"
"Good."
"That's good news." Syd said.
"Our little TJ's gonna be a big brother." I said. We all laughed and our close encounter with the Andalite forgotten, that is until I heard voices.
"Marco are you out of your mind? Spiderman can not defeat Batman."
I gasped, "We gotta hide."
"Why?" Sydney asked, then two boys stepped into view, I just gaped at them. One looked like my dad, only at my age and the other one looked like Syd's dad, at them same age.
"Who are you?" The bigger one, Syd's dad's look alike, said.
"My father said to never talk to strangers, and you're as strange as they come." I said. My dad's look alike smiled, "She's witty, the other two remain silent so..... what do you make of it Jake?"
"Iris," I said, "what year are we in now?"
"You, TJ and Sydney are in the year 2000."
"Thanks Iris. That explains allot." I looked at Syd, she was shaking.
"Syd? Sydney?" TJ asked. Syd then fainted, "SYDNEY!" TJ cried and caught her.
I looked at the two guys, they were both staring at me, "What?" I asked. The shorter one just stared.
"What happened to you?" He asked.
I turned to him, "I was born with MS. Do you have a problem?"
He looked at me, "No." I turned to face TJ.
"TJ? Is Sydney gonna be okay, or are we gonna have to carry her everywhere for a half hour?"
Syd's head moved, "TJ? What happened?"
TJ stroked Syd's hair, "You fainted Syd." TJ helped Syd to her feet and on to her hoverboard, then they just stared at each other, holding each others hands.
"Okay. If you two lovebirds are done, can we get back to the matter at hand?" I said. TJ's smile became an embarrassed one and Syd blushed, tugging her hands out of his.
TJ glared at me, "Rave, you can really ruin a good moment, you know that?"
I smiled, "Hey, I just don't want you and Sydney to kiss in front of these people in the past. You'll kiss when we get home to the future."
"Excuse me? The future?" We turned to the boy who looks like Syd's dad, TJ turned to me.
"Rave, what do you mean the future?"
"This is 2000, am I right?" I asked the boy.
"Yeah. So, how does that make you from the future, as you claim to be."
"Where we are from, it's 2031."
"Jake, dude, we'd be in our 40's man." said the smaller boy.
The one the boy, that looks like Syd's dad, called Jake looked at us, "How did you get here then?"
"The old man, with the iridescent blue skin asked us if we wanted to meet our parents when they were our age, and.....oh man." I said, just realizing what was going on.
"What?"
"You guys, I think that these two are Syd's dad and my dad."
"Oh my stars, you're right!" Sydney said.
"What are your names?" I asked of the two boys, the bigger one spoke up.
"I'm Jake and he's.." Jake jerked his thumb at the smaller boy, "Marco."
"Hey." I said, "I'm the smart, pretty, voice of reason, Raven."
"I'm TJ."
"Sydney."
"Hello all." A girl said.
"Cassie, meet Raven Sydney and TJ."
"Hey."
Sydney's lip quivered, "Mom?" She mouthed. TJ hugged her, she was trembling. Syd's not used to big shocks, unlike me. "Did I miss something?"
"Yes, Cassie. TJ, Sydney and I are from the future."
"What? Oh my God!"
"The guy who brought us hear is a LONG way from God." I said. Then a blonde girl showed up. She, I guessed, was TJ's mom. "Rachel, hey." Cassie said.
"Hi, Cass. Who are they?"
"They are from the future."
"The future?"
"Uh huh."
"Oh boy. So when will Ax and Tobias get here?" I snickered, they were taking awfully well.
"I have no clue." Marco said. Just then three Andalites and a Hawk showed up, all from different directions. One of them, was Elf. She's TJ's cousin.
"Hey Elf."
TJ? Raven? Sydney? Where are we?
"The past. You know, 2000?"
Oh. Okay. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
AHHH! It's another Andalite! Why am I screaming?
I looked at the male Andalite that said that, "What's the problem with that?"
Marco spoke up, "Ax-Man, these people, the humans at least, are TJ, Sydney, and Raven. I have no idea what the Andalite's name is."
Elf.
"What?" Jake said.
My name is Elf.
"Oh."
TJ grinned, "Elf, what's up? You seem nervous."
I'M FINE! Elf, whose full name is Elfilia, hardly ever shouts, if she does, you know she either means business or she's lying.
I just smiled at her, then I turned to the others, "Well, I guess I should explain a few things, shouldn't I?"
