Chapter 1 : Blasting Off At The Speed Of Light

'I hate Xander, I hate Xander

He's a pratt, he's a pratt

He shouldn't be on Buffy, He Shouldn't be on buffy

That is that, That is that'

Tatiana sang to the tune of 'Frere Jacques' as she walked down the road with her friends, Jihui, Mandy, Gracie, Chelsea, CordiAnn and Emily.

'Why is Xander a pratt???' Jihui asked, looking up from her Magnum for a moment.

'Because he tried to kill spike!' Tat wailed, sticking out her bottom lip.

Her friends giggled, so she pouted for a bit.

'Don't pout silly billy!' Gracie slung her arm over Tat's shoulder and poked her.

Tat tried to keep a straight face, but collapsed helplessly in giggles as her friends began to tickle her mercilessly.

'St...stop it!' she giggled, batting at them.

'Oh nooooo!' Jihui wailed from somewhere above Tat.

'What's wrong? Huh? What?' Mandy looked around worriedly.

Jihui turned watery eyes to the group of anxious girls.

'I dropped my magnum!' she choked out.

'Never Mind JuJu,' Chelsea said soothingly, 'We can get you another one!'

Jihui smiled through her tears.

'An even bigger and better ice cream!' Emily put in.

'Do you think Spike likes ice cream?' Tat and Mandy wondered.

Jihui rolled her eyes at CordiAnn.

CordiAnn grinning wryly.

'You are so immature,' Jihui said patronisingly.

CordiAnn nodded in agreement.

'Everyone knows Lindsey is the fittest!' Jihui finished.

CordiAnn stopped nodding and stared at her.

Jihui stared back.

CordiAnn stared back.

Jihui stared back.

Tat and Mandy...did not stare. They started singing to the tune of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

'Spikey Spikey, you're so fit.

I love you to little bits.

You are cute, you are fine.

I wish that, you were mine.

Spikey spikey you're so fit

We love you to little bits.'

Then they all laughed and linked arms.

'Ooh!' Jihui squealed.

'What? has she seen an ice cream van?' Grace said, craning her neck to see what Jihui was running towards.

'No...' Chelsea said, also craning her neck to see, 'It's a poster.'

Tat and Mandy shrugged and chased after her, leaving CordiAnn and Chelsea with Grace and Emily, who were shrieking.

'Oh no! Look at the poor heron!' Grace yelled, pointing at a big white bird.

'What crane? I see no heron!' Emily spun round.

'That's because she's looking at a seagull.' CordiAnn stamped her foot.

'No,' Chelsea said, 'it is a heron, and those meany blackbirds are attacking it!!!'

They all started yelling at the heron to fly away, and Grace began to jump up and down, and throw skittles at the blackbirds.

Meanwhile, not very far away, Mandy and Tat caught up with Jihui.

'What...were...you...squealing...about?' Mandy panted.

'Look!' Jihui pointed at the poster.

Tat squinted at it and read out,

'Come to the funfair, and find the fun!

Times: Friday 17th

Saturday 18th' (A/N: bad slogan, i know, but i'm pressed for time!)

'Hey, that's today!' Mandy straightened up and grinned excitedly.

'Let's go to it!' Jihui said enthusiastically, 'they'll have candy-floss too!'

The three girls burst into giggles and linked arms, heading back towards their friends.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Yay! We're on our way to the fa-air!' Grace sang, who was happy once again because they had succeeded in chasing away the blackbirds.

'But we have to stay together...especially you GRACE!' Tat added.

They all nodded solemnly, apart from Ju, who had spotted the hot-dog stand.

They caught her just before she dashed off.

'Rides first!' Chelsea told her.

'ooh, bags i choose first ride!' CordiAnn jumped up and down.

Tat, Emily and Mandy nodded, happy for any ride, but Jihui, Chelsea and Gracie pouted. Gracie and Chelsea because they wanted to choose, and Jihui because she wanted a hot-dog.

'I pick...'CordiAnn paused, looking round, '...Portal!'

They all followed her gaze and saw the rollercoaster she was referring to.

Emily, Mandy, Tat and Chelsea jumped up and down in excitement, but Jihui and Gracie turned slightly green.

'do we haaave to?' Gracie moaned

'I want a hot-dog!' Jihui wailed.

The other girls exchanged a determined look and grabbed them, dragging them over to the ride.

When they had reached the ride and payed, they paired up and slid into seats.

CordiAnn and Jihui were at the front, regardless of Jihui's objections.

Mandy and Tat were behind them.

Then Chelsea and Emily.

And finally Grace, all on her own. But she didn't mind.

They didn't notice they were the only ones on the ride until Jihui screamed back, 'NOW I KNOW WHY WE ARE THE ONLY ONES ON THIS STUPID RIDE...AAAAAAAAAAAH!'

They had all just registered this fact, when a strange quiver appeared in the air in front of them. It begin to pulse a steady blue.

CordiAnn and Jihui just had time to yell out, before the roller coaster carried them straight through it.

Tat and Mandy followed, wondering why no one in the fairground had noticed.

Chelsea and Emily followed, giggling at the strange colour.

And finally Grace, wishing she had someone to talk to as she was sucked through the portal.

For about a minute, the carriages of the roller coaster just floated through blackness, with the confused teenagers trapped there.

And then, the carriages disappeared, and the girls all screamed, or in Grace's case, yodelled, as they fell, down and down.

The tunnel surrounding them rushed past, a blur of blacks, greys and whites, and they fell.

And they fell. And they fell.

Until they landed, on the pavement, in...

'Sunnydale?' Mandy gasped.
