I stood there, staring at the part of the sky where the warp used to be. Losing all the hope I had that the warp would appear again, magically, I turned around, put my hands in my pocket, and headed back into my apartment.

Suddenly, I saw the warp reflected in a window of a store. Could I just have been seeing things?

Running back to the warp, I smiled. Now I could get back home!

But, before I knew it, the warp disappeared. What was going on...

Ow! Jake landed on me.

"Jake? Is that you?' I asked him.

"Carolyn? You're alive!" He squeezed me so that I couldn't breathe.

"I know, but could you please let go of me before I do?" I asked with all of the breath I had left.

"Oh, sorry." He said, letting go of me. "It looks like my invention still isn't doing what I expected."

"So, instead of bringing me back, it brought you here?" I guessed.

"Yup, it sure looks like it." Jake's teeth chattered.

"Jake, why are your teeth chattering?"

"Without one of us there knowing where the invention is and knowing what happened to us, I don't think we'll be able to go back."

"What? Not go back? Jake, I have to go back home!" I exclaimed, sobbing. "What about my family, our friends, and my poor little dog, Hannah?"

"I know, they're lucky they're not out here, aren't they?" I glared at him. "Look, I know I want to go back just as much as you do. But still, unless a miracle happens, we'll be stuck here. So we might as well make the best of it."

"And how?" I rolled my eyes.

"Well... you're dream has come true, you'll be able to hang out with Jennifer Gardner. And now that you're playing the part of Wendy, you're engaged to Mark Ruffalo. I mean, what could be better? Besides, my invention has done at least something good."

"You call locking us into the movie 13 going on 30 'good'? Don't you even care that we'll never get back home to our friends and families? Do you even care about them? Our lives have been ruined, Jake. There's no way out of this mess made by that stupid machine you made! Have fun partying while our parents worry to death about us!" Carolyn ran off.

"Carolyn! Uh, come back here young lady... Carolyn!?"

I just ran, not knowing where I was going. Tears flying from my eyes like a fountain or something, I couldn't believe how Jake was reacting to all this.

Suddenly I found myself on a train. This was really weird. From where I was sitting, I could see Jennifer Gardner watching sadly at a group of thirteen year-olds talking. And, coming out of nowhere, "Vienna" was playing. I looked around for the speakers. Where were they?

Who cared about the stupid speakers at a time like that? I was stuck in a movie with no way out. I had just broke up with my best friend who would know when there was a way out of the movie. And I was on a train that I didn't even know where was going! How could this happen? Gees, how many times have I said that line?

"Hello? Is anyone in there?" I looked up from the window I was gazing at to find Jennifer Gardner waving her hand in my face. "Can you please tell me where that music is coming from?" I noticed her cell phone was ringing. I burst out laughing. Jennifer looked confused.

"It's your cell phone, Jenna." I answered through gasps.

"Oh. She began to walk away but then paused. "How do you know my name?"

I stopped laughing.

I tried to think of an excuse until the strangest thing happened.

"Um... your wallet is hanging out of your purse." After years of making excuses for being late for curfew, this was the lamest excuse I've ever thought of.

"Oh." She said once again, opening her cell phone. "Hello?" She frowned. "Uh huh... no... yeah... uh huh... nope... ok, bye." Jenna hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" I asked her.

"My boss. I'm fired and he wants me to save anything I want to keep from my office." She fell into the seat next to me. "You wouldn't believe what has happened to me the past few weeks. First, it was my thirteenth birthday, now, I'm this!" She flew her hands up into the air.

"Crazy things have happened to me, too. I..." I paused. 'Should I tell her?' I wondered. "I'm getting married to a really cute guy."

"Hey, I know you! You're Wendy, Matt's fiancé! Weren't you also the girl we almost ran over? Yeah, you also said something about you falling down, down, and down onto the concrete. What was that, anyway?" Jennifer asked me.

"Well..." I frowned at her. "You promise not to laugh or anything, don't you?"

"I won't laugh, I swear." Jennifer replied.

"Ok, it all started at my ex-best friend's house. He's a scientist, well, he wants to be, anyway, he was working on a new invention. It was supposed to bring movie and book characters to life, and people from different times to here, we were going to use it for school reports."

"Cool!"

"But it actually turned out that instead of bringing a movie character to there, it brought me and my best friend to... to... into a different world, sort of like you. It's ok if you don't believe me, because I don't really believe it myself."

"I believe you. If something this weird can happen to me, then it must be true." Jennifer smiled. "So then you're not really Wendy?"

"No, I'm just in her body. But I bet the real Wendy's out there somewhere." I smiled back. "The thing is, you and Matt really belong together. And if Matt should be marrying somebody, it should be you."

"Thanks." Jennifer glanced at me, surprised. "You mean you really don't mind?"

"No, really! You're a really cute couple!" I'm too young for him, anyways."

You know that when the truth is told...

"Hey, where's that music coming from?" I asked Jennifer.

"I've been trying to find that out since I was four. Strange, isn't it?"

A/N: Hmm, this chapter is longer than the rest. Just keep reviewing and I'll keep writing!
