Chapter 3: On My Own
Sam and Steph sat in the corner of the room, as the other members of the Colorguard team practiced.
"That was just so awesome! I can't keep it to myself!" Sam said.
"I know what you mean...but who would believe us? They would all just think we're obsessed fans," Steph responded, looking down at the ground. A moment passed before she spoke again, "Wait! Sarah would believe us, right?"
"Of course!" Sam reassured her. That moment, they called to their friend Sarah, who stood at the other end of the room,
"Sarah!" they both shouted.
"Come here!" Steph demanded, more than asked. Sarah walked over there, using her Flag as if it were a cane,
"Yeah?" she asked, pulling up a chair.
"Okay, you can't tell anyone because they'll probably think we're completely crazy!" Sam said. Sarah nodded, listening attentively.
"We went to the library," Steph started, "...and found a restricted room, went inside and found an English Translation of the book of The Universe of the Four Gods, and we got sucked into the book and met Tamahome." Silence crept up between them all as both, Sam and Steph, waited for Sarah's response.
"Well, I certainly didn't expect that!" Sarah finally said, "...but I think you guys are a little obsessed with this show...I mean, that could never happen!"
"But that's the thing! It did happen!" Sam exclaimed.
"Riiiight..." Sarah said, standing up from her chair.
"Really!" they both shouted as Sarah walked away from them.
"Well...that didn't work out too good..." Sam said, watching her friend walk away from them.
"We'll just have to show her then!" Steph started, "...next time we go in, we're bringing her with!" They nodded in agreement, and then began practicing themselves.

An hour or so past, and Sam was walking into her apartment,
"I'm home!" she shouted as she closed the door behind her. Sam tossed her bags on the ground and walked into the kitchen. She opened her refrigerator and bent down, looking inside to see what she could snack on. After she found what she wanted, she turned around to find her mom looking at her.
"How was your day?" she asked Sam.
"It was...interesting..." Sam replied, walking into her room, "...but I've got some homework to do." And with that, she closed her door. Sam reached under her bed and pulled out a small book. She sat down at her desk, and opened it up to its next blank page. Opening her desk drawer, she took a pen out and began writing,
From this moment on...this diary will contain information on everything that happens to me...in Konan...For now, I will end this, because I need to pack and set out on my own journey... The next time I write in this diary...I will be in another world.
She put her pen down, closed her book, and put it in her bag along with a few pairs of clothes, make-up, and other small necessities. One last time, she looked around her room.
"Is there anything else I need?" she asked herself. Finally, she spotted her schoolbooks, "I guess I should I take them," she said, putting them in her bag. She zipped up her bag and quickly wrote a note saying that she'll be back soon. Briskly, she taped the note to her door and left her apartment, walking to her car.
It wasn't long before she reached the library. There was about a half hour before it closed,
'Just enough time to get in, and go back into the book...' she thought as she walked into the library, carrying her bag. Sam slunk swiftly against the walls to the restricted room. Once again, it was open. She set her bag down on the ground and reached up to the top of the bookcase for the book. Once she grabbed it, she put her bag back onto her shoulder.
"Here goes...I'm sorry Steph...I have to go in without you this time..." and with that, she opened the book, being sucked into the story once more.
