A/N: It has come to my attention that I have been misspelling Jonny's name. I will try to edit the misspellings and it will be spelled correctly (I hope) in all future chapters. I also have to take the time to thank my best reviewer (and possibly only reviewer of this story at this point):

Palin1- Thank you so much for writing such wonderful reviews! Sorry to keep you waiting, I'll try to post stories as soon as possible. Good guesses at who believed, Unfortunately as you'll soon read, you were wrong on all of them. Hope you still like it! I'm happy you feel I'm staying in character. I was worried about that since I lost my original copy of the story and I haven't watched the show in probably 6 or 7 years! So if I get OOC in the future, please help correct me! (-) For now, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

"I know this is hard to believe and you probably all think I'm insane, but I swear it's true!" Sarah looked at each of them trying to sense a hint of acceptance.

"I believe you."

Chapter 3: You get what you Wish

By: Ks-Starshine

"I believe you," Race repeated as all heads turned to look at him.

"Thank you," Sarah nearly whispered, letting out a breath she hadn't even realized she had been holding.

"Wait a minute, you believe her?" Jesse questioned, still unbelieving.

"Yeah, Race," Jonny agreed. "You never believe anything without some sort of real proof, and even then…."

Race gave his head a withered shake. "I know, I know, but I already got my proof. I just didn't know it until I heard her explanation." He looked up and caught a room full of confused faces. "Well now, when I was searching through your bag, I couldn't help but notice the books. One cover caught my eye. It had a picture of Jonny drawn on the front. It said 'The Real adventures of Jonny Quest, based on the hit TV show.'"

A light bulb went on in Sarah's head as she recalled the book. She promptly dug through her bag and fished it out. She had forgotten about the book. Without saying anything, she got up and handed the book to Race. He looked at the cover with the same puzzled expression he wore when he first spied it.

Race continued. "I was going to dismiss it, until I saw the rest of the title, "Other Space." I could tell by the rest of the picture what it was about. Remember when Diana had that cockamamie idea and ended up opening a portal into another dimension? That whole operation was covered up. Nobody knew about that but those who were there. Yet it seems this book tells the whole story." He let out a slight chuckle, "Look here, it even knew the good professor was an old flame of mine."

"Quite fascinating," commented Dr. Quest as he took the book from Race and began to inspect it.

"Okay, let's just say you are from some other dimension," Jonny said with a sigh. "I still don't understand how you got here!"

"That's where I'm as lost as you are," replied Sarah. "I can only guess it had something to do with that old woman and her necklace. I mean it's not like this is something that happens to me everyday you know."

"Perhaps we could run some tests on the necklace in your laboratory, Dr. Quest," suggested Hadji.

"Would you mind if we borrowed this for awhile, Sarah?" Dr. Quest asked.

"Knock yourself out," she muttered sinking into her chair. "The sooner you figure out how I got here the sooner I can get back home."

"I thought this was where you always wished you could be," Jonny said with a smirk.

"That was before I met you in person," Sarah rebutted.

"Hey now, come on you two," Race called in between them.

"Well, it's too late to start anything now," Dr. Quest stated as he glanced at the clock. The sun had set during their conversation and twilight filled the sky. "Sarah, you're welcome to stay in one of our guest rooms."

"Thank you, I'd like that," Sarah smiled back, grateful for the offer. She hadn't thought of lodging. She had no money nor did she have anywhere else she could stay. Jesse showed her to one of the guest rooms and lent her some clothes to sleep in. Sarah was exhausted after the day's events. 'What will I do in the morning?' was her last thought before sleep claimed her.

The next day flew by quickly. It seemed that as soon as Sarah woke up, the tests began. They scanned the necklace into Questworld along with several 3D scans of Sarah. Dr. Quest insisted that to discover what they needed to know, they had to collect and combine all available information. Sarah answered so many questions her head began to spin. Hadji assisted Dr. Quest throughout all the testing, adding suggestions here and there. Meanwhile, Race used some old connections of his to do a trace on Sarah. Surprisingly enough, there was a Sarah Wilkins in this dimension as well. If Race hadn't seen satellite pictures of the two girls taken at the same time, he would have sworn it was the same person.

The Quests and Bannons weren't the only one's snooping for information though. In an aircraft flying over South America, someone else was searching through Questworld.

"Julia, have you found the information yet?" demanded Surd.

"Not yet, but I think I may have found something else worth looking at." Julia showed him some of the information about Sarah and the necklace she had uncovered.

"You show me this! What do I care about an old necklace and a silly teenage girl?" he practically growled.

"If you had read what it says, you would have noticed that this girl is from another dimension. Apparently, according to what the Quests have discovered so far, this necklace somehow transported her to this dimension," Julia explained, trying not to shout at her boss, who once again ignored what was important.

"Hmmm…" thought Surd. 'I think we might have to pay a visit to this brat.' "Do we know where she is?"

"It looks like she's staying at Quest Manor." Julia said, rereading the documents.

"Set the course then," he commanded. "Perhaps that necklace is the answer to everything."

Sarah sat in the kitchen staring at the glass of milk she held. She couldn't stop thinking about what Dr. Quest had told her earlier that evening.

Earlier

"Sarah, I'm sorry," Dr. Quest began. "We've gone over everything. We tried, but we just weren't able to find anything unusual about the necklace. However, the DNA you supplied us was rather remarkable."

"That is for sure," Hadji interjected. "We found multiple variations in your DNA indicative of a recent surge of energy. It is as though your entire being was recently filled with the amount of energy that could project a satellite into orbit."

"So what does that mean?" Sarah asked.

"Quite honestly, we don't know," answered the doctor. "I've never seen anything like it."

"Does this mean you couldn't figure out how to get me home?" she asked, searching each of their faces for the hope she still held.

"It means we'll keep trying," Hadji stated firmly with determination written on his face.

End Memory

Raising her eyes to gaze at the stars through the window she sighed, "I wish I were home right now." The lights suddenly clicked on, making Sarah jump, spilling some milk on herself. Looking behind her, she saw Jonny leaning on the doorframe trying poorly to hold back laughter. "Why did you sneak up on me?" she asked with a frown as she dabbed at the milk with a napkin.

"Why are you up at two in the morning?" he returned.

"I couldn't sleep," she shrugged. "I guess I miss my family. I don't even know . . . I mean . . . why did this happen? What even really happened?"

Johnny walked over to Sarah and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. Dad will figure it all out. In the mean time, you're here right? Well forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't this where you wished to be? Why don't you just enjoy yourself a little?" He gave her an encouraging grin.

Sarah smiled back. "I guess you're right. I've been looking at this all wrong. I guess if you look at it your way I'm kind of lucky! I always wished I had more adventure in my life."

"Hey, if you want, maybe we could go do something tomorrow," he offered. "I mean, you were cooped up in the house all day today."

"Sounds good to me. I'll see you tomorrow then!" Sarah placed her cup in the sink and went upstairs to bed. Her talk with Jonny had helped. She had finally sorted through her thoughts enough to get some sleep. 'Maybe he's not so bad after all.'

"Hurry up, Sarah!" yelled Jesse. "We won't have any time at the beach if we don't get moving soon!"

Sarah did the finishing touches to her hair before meeting up with Jesse and Jonny outside. Dr. Quest had agreed to let them head to the beach for the day. He and Hadji were going to run some more tests on the necklace to see what they could discover. Sarah hopped on Hadji's bike, which he had graciously lent her for the day, and took off in pursuit of the other two, who had quickly taken off as soon as she was in sight.

They spent nearly an hour riding their bikes to the beach. The rest of the day, they messed around doing a variety of things. They took turns throwing the frisbee for awhile, until Sarah accidentally tossed it into the ocean.

"What did you do that for?" yelled Jonny.

"Me?" Sarah yelled back. "You were the one who was supposed to catch it!"

"Yeah, well next time warn me and I'll rent a boat," he scoffed.

After a picnic lunch and a very brief game of volleyball, ("Stop throwing all our stuff in the ocean, Sarah!" Johnny had teased good-naturedly.), they started getting ready for the long ride home. That was when they heard the helicopter.

Jesse heard the craft first. "Jonny, tell me that's not who I think it is."

Jonny looked over his shoulder. "If you're thinking what I'm thinking, we better get out of here, and fast!"

The three of them began to pedal as fast as they could, but they could never hope to outrun the helicopter. Before long, it had caught up to the group and was slowly descending. Looking around the trio could find nowhere to hide, so they simply continued to pedal with all their strength.

A brief glance back gave Sarah a view at the gun they were pointing, aimed right at her. "Jonny!" was all she could utter before she felt a sudden pain in her right shoulder. She felt so weak. She remembered falling from her bike before everything went dark.

So did you like it? Sorry it took me so long to post! It's so hard to type! Kansas is in the middle of record cold and I can barely feel my fingers! Oh well, I'm done with this much. Until next time!
