This is Chapter 2. The Introduction of Characters. L wrote it. Not me.
All disclaimers apply for her too.
"Oh, shit." Lauren and Delli both closed their eyes and screamed as the car flew through the guardrail....
"Is it just me, or are you getting a strong sense of deja` vu?"
"Didn't you just say that?" Lauren made as if to hit Delli, but only managed to honk the horn.
"Very funny." Delli bit her lip.
"So. We've just flown over the cliff and have magically landed upside down, unharmed. Wouldn't you say it's about time we got out of the car?"
"Yep. Race you outside!" Lauren threw off her seatbelt and scrambled outside of the car before Delli could even yell, "Wait!" What Lauren didn't know was that Delli could see a little knobby thingie on the car's dash that read 'this car will self destruct in three seconds'. Delli swallowed. It took her two seconds to read it.
KA-BLOOIE!!! The car exploded, throwing American-made shrapnel in all directions. Lauren screamed and covered her arms, a feeble attempt, considering she was standing right next to the car. Delli, however.
"Ow," she said from high up in a tree. There was a rustle, and a chipmunk jumped down on the ground. Lauren stomped after it, scaring the bejezus out of it. "Lauren, that really hurt."
"Well, I feel fine." Delli threw an acorn at her.
"Well, I DON'T."

*Did you hear that noise?* Jono asked Angelo, motioning out the window. The other turned and looked, a PB&J sandwich in his hands. Jelly was smeared on his chin.
"No."
*I heard something,* Jono replied. *I'm going to go check it out. You in?*
"Sandwich!" Angelo stated, holding it up. "Ay carumba."
*Are you always this articulate?* Jono rolled his eyes and went outside. Soon, Angelo followed, stuffing the rest of his sandwich in his mouth.

"Come down from there this instant!" Lauren demanded, stamping her foot for emphasis.
"You and what army?" Delli threw another acorn at her. This one beaned the side of her head.
"Ow! The army of me!" Lauren curled her fingers into claws and all of the sudden, bright energy surged from her hands. The blasts hit the tree, and Delli fell out of it. An acorn popped her on top of the head, almost as an afterthought.
"Hey! I think I've been through enough pain today already!"
"Sorry. Don't know my own strength."
"Sure you don't. Hey... Why are you glowing?"
"I dunno. Why are you missing half your skin?"
"What?!?" Delli jumped to her feet, patting down her arms. Sure enough, over half of her skin had been ripped away to blue scars, including her face. "Holy shit!"
"I guess the explosion did it."
"Yeah, but that doesn't explain why you're unharmed," Delli pointed out, wrinkling her nose. "I'm the deformed one, here! You just glow in the dark."
"Really?" Lauren looked down at her skin. It glowed as if she were lit from within. "Cool!" Delli chucked another acorn at her.
"No, it's not. You suck." Lauren deflected it instantly, forming a small force shield with her hand.
"Oh wow. That was neat. Do that again." A whole branch flew at Lauren, and she was unprepared. "Hey!"
*Who's there?* The voice was slightly accented, and it echoed inside their heads. Lauren and Delli looked around them.
"God?"
*No, my name is Chamber. Who are you?* The two girls turned to see two young boys come up from behind them. One was a Latino with gray skin and the other had half of his face covered in some sort of metallic material.
"GAAA!!" the two girls said at the same time." You're--!"
"And you're--!"
Jono and Angelo looked at each other, confused.
Intrigued yet? Didn't think so. But there is a third chapter.
