Chapter Four - What Happened?

"Ana, Jade bring me the first aid kit, please!" Jonny yelled.

"Yes, sir." Ana's voice spoke back via the rooms' speaker/microphone. Ana ran in with the first aid kit.

"Grandma!" Ana opened the kit and handed Jonny a bottle of clear liquid. Jonny opened the stopper and put a tiny bit on a cotton ball, then rubbed it gently under Arya's nose. Arya was up in an instant.

"Oh, Jonny honey, I just had the strangest dream! I dreamed I walked in and saw Hadji alive and well. " Jonny sighed and nodded.

"You did, I am just about to ask him and the rest of my family why they're not dead." Arya's eyes opened wide as she sat up and looked around.

" Are you okay, grandma?"

"Yes dear, thank you. Why don't you run back up to your room, we can handle things from here." Ana looked at her dad for confirmation. Jonny nodded, Ana glared at the people who caused her grandma to faint before running back out of the room. Jonny shook his head as he helped Arya up from the floor.

"Let's go sit down in the living room, okay?" Jonny said quietly, the group nodded and they walked into the living room and sat down.

"I don't understand how we managed to travel into the future." Dr. Quest appeared to be in deep thought. Meanwhile Jonny touched his ear.

"Elle's cell phone."

"Elle?...Hi honey how's the shopping spree? Well we have a bit of a situation here at home... Ah, well they are all home do to a fire.no, no one was hurt, well none of our kids.no Jade did not start the fire, it happened before they got to science class however that is not the situation, I'm afraid... Well if you can come home now, I will give you a clue that you will never get...uh-huh... Okay your clue is there back from the dead... I knew that would interest you, we might be able to co-write a book about this, just get home ASAP, okay sweetie. I love you to, be careful...Okay...see yeah." Jonny touched his ear again.

"Okay, Elle should be home in a few minutes if the Digator is not backed up."

"Digator?" Race asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, a machine that digitally takes you anywhere within a twenty mile radius."

"Interesting." Dr. Quest whispered still in deep thought. Elle ran into the room out of breath, eyes full of excitement.

"I knew it!" Elle yelled, grinning from ear to ear.

"How! You only had the clue for five minutes!" Jonny moaned. Elle only shrugged. "Okay Mrs. Sci-fi how are they still alive and the same age as they were when they left?"

"They obviously hit a time portal, and got stuck."

"What?" The room asked.

"Well for my latest story my character gets stuck in a time portal just like this, I have been doing research on this type of stuff for ages! I new there was a possibility that the time portals could be true, but I never dreamed that I would see the proof with my own eyes." Jonny grinned and kissed his wife.

"What is the last thing you remember." Jonny asked.

"Well, we were in the newly built computer building at the collage."
