Chapter Two : OOoooo Shiny! Pretty Necklace!

"Work, work! La, la, la!" Kristen sang happily, "I hope Megs and Ashley have as fun of a day as meeeee!"

Kristen was on her way to work, she worked at a toy store, but nothing would prepare her for what happen this day.

She was walking to work, when suddenly, she saw something on the ground. she picked it up. "Hmm this is pretty. I think I'll keep it!" she said as she glanced at her watch, "OH CRAP! I'M LATE ..... GOTTA RUN, GOTTA RUN, GOTTA RUN!"

Back at the apartment, Ashley was just leaving the house in a mad rush. She opened the door, with a poptart in her mouth, and banged into someone. She fell to the ground, and wiped her face which was covered with the pastry's stick center, "OWWWW! GOD DAMN IT! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, IDIOT!" she screamed, furiously.

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." a calm voice said, "I hope you're not hurt."

"Weeeellllllll..." she said slowly, opening her eyes, and staring upm "Hey! You're Elijah Wood!"

"Well...yeah, I am." he said, a little uncomfortably.

"Cool! You movin' in or somethin'?" she asked.

"Yep, me and my pal. I'm sure we'll be good neighbors."

"Yeah sure, well I gotta go to work." she said, standing up she looked behind her, and waved to Elijah and beggan to dash off again.

"No problem, you can meet my roommate later."

"Yeah, ok, byeee!" she called back, then fell down the stairs, "I'm ok!" she called again.

Megan was driving to work, when she saw Blink182!

"Hey guys, how's it going?" she called out.

"Hey! It's Megan!" Travis yelled. You rock Megan!"

"Thanks guys!" she said chipperly, as she glanced and noticed the traffic light had turned green, "Oh! I gotta go. call yah later!"

"Sure! Byee" all three called out, as she drove off.

Back at the toy store, Kristen was puzzling over the necklace she had found.

"Hey Kristen." her boss said, as he approached her.

"Yeah?" she asked, warily.

"You can take the rest of the day off, since you work soooooooo hard!" he said.

"Thanks!" she said happily, as she ran out of the store, and began her way home.

She was walking home, when suddenly the necklace began to glow, "That's funny," she looked around, and noticed she was standing in fron tof a library, "Maybe ... I should go in ..." she said cautiously, entering the large building.

The necklace began to glow brighter and brighter.

"This is impossible!" she exclaimed. She stopped in front of a shelf, it was old and dusty. A book fell from the shelf, and smacked her square on the head then fell to the floor, "Owwwy!" she cried. She bent over, to pick it up, sneezing as a result of the dust it kicked up, in its fall. "What is this?" she quizzed, as she examined the strange book. The necklace without warning flew from Kristen's hand and lodged itself into a hole, that the book had on it. It opened.

"It must have been some sort of key!" she said, mystified.

"This book is real old!" she read the name of the book, on the inside cover, " 'Old Magicks and Spells' .................... COOL! I CAN BECOME A SORCERY GENUIS JUST LIKE LINA INVERSE! I'll take it!" she cried, "Just you wait! I'll learn all the spells, even... the DRAGON SLAVE! Ashley and Megan have got to see this thing! HAHA!" she laughed merrily, as she proceeded to bound home, to show her friends her discovery.
