A/N: This story is set from another point of view, Tom's, so don't let that
confuse you.
As I drove towards the park where the concert was going to be held, I listened to my sister and Alex fight. It is usually very amusing. Suddenly, some drunken driver swerved in front of my car and I slammed on the breaks. Phi and Alex went flying forward. "That's why you should put your seat belt on."
Alex grimaced as he sat back down and grudgingly fastened his seat belt, "You probably did that on purpose..."
I grinned. Alex always suspects me for playing jokes on him. I could, but I never do. Usually it's Phi that bothers Alex. I once asked her why she enjoyed to torture Alex and said told me that it was her hobby. Sometimes I don't understand her...
When we finally reached the park where the concert was to be held, it was seven. Phi jumped out of the car before it even even stopped moving and danced around impatiently on the curb, waiting for us to join her. This was her first concert, and she had been talking about it for weeks.
Alex and I got out of the car; actually Alex stumbled out of the car. I felt bad for him. He was defiantly NOT a morning person.
I looked around and saw that the parking lot was practically deserted and no one else was around. "I guess we got here early..."
Alex moaned and plopped onto a nearby tree stump. "I could still be asleep right now..."
Phi walked over and pulled Alex onto his feet, "Come on! I want to get a good seat!" We followed her (although Alex was following unwillingly because she was pulling him along by his arm) as she walked into the small forest that was part of the park.
I looked around dubiously. "Do you even know where we are going Phi?" I had only been here once before, but I had a pretty good memory, but none of this looked familiar.
Phi stopped and looked around (causing Alex to ram into her because he wasn't paying attention and didn't see her stop.). She blushed, " Um...not really..."
Alex threw both of his now free hands into the air, "Great! Just great! Now I'm tired AND lost!"
Phi glared at him, "We're not lost...we just don't know where we are..."
I left them to argue and quickly took a look around the small clearing that we had ended up in. "I think we should turn around and ho back to the parking lot."
Alex stopped arguing and looked at me, "That's a good idea...What way did we come in?"
"Ummm..." I spun around and then realizing with enormous disgust that I had completely disoriented myself by looking around the clearing. "I'm not sure."
"It was this way. I'm 99.9 percent sure." Phi suddenly replied, and she began to walk west.
"Well if you think it's that way, I'm going this way!" challenged Alex, and with that, he began to walk east.
"I don't know about this Alex..." I answered uncertainly, "She is usually right about this kind of thing..."
"Phi has to be wrong at least once in her life time! Let's see if I'M right for once!" Alex continued to walk east. I looked at Phi and we both shrugged and followed him.
Phi grinned, "This should be interesting..."
***one hour later***
Alex was in front, leading us to who knows where. My feet were beginning to feel sore, and I could practically feel the impatience radiating off of Phi. She was not happy.
She grumbled, "Ya think we would have reached the Atlantic Ocean by now..."
"Shut up! Arrrrrgggghhhh! I hate it when you're right and I'm.... not!" Alex spun around and leaned against a tree. "Sooo... what do we do now..."
Phi replied sarcastically, "We send up a flare and wait for the National Guard to rescue us..."
I sighed, "Why don't we just walk west until we reach the clearing again?"
Phi looked at me, "Good idea!". Sometimes Phi and Alex forgot to look for the obvious solution.
We got up and began to walk back the way we came. Suddenly there was a strange humming and the air began to ripple. Phi walked over and pressed against me, the only way that she would show she was afraid. Alex looked around, "What the...?"
Suddenly the air was ripped apart and a rift was opened in time and space. In seconds we were lifted off of our feet and sucked into the rift. I felt like I was being burned, drowned, electrocuted, and frozen all at once. I heard Phi and Alex's screams of pain, and I heard my own, even though my mouth was closed. This was scientifically impossible...this couldn't be happening...it couldn't...
