The Animator

Chapter 1: The Opening

"I'm telling you it works" I said, brandishing the watch-like device on my arm in his face.

"And I'm telling you it's not possible" he said angrily to me, pushing my arm away from him.

"Fine" I said "I'll show you and prove it works" I gestured towards the hallway "Just pick a locked door."

"Fine" he said, walking to the one nearest him "This one I guess" He watched me as I pulled out a dark blue key and put it into the door lock. Immediately the device let out a beep and a screen appeared above it, complete with a keypad, all glowing electronic green.

"A cheap trick" he huffed, looking unimpressed. "I'm not done yet Yumi" I said, typing in access codes on the keypad "Just give me a second" I hit enter and a digital voice said "Account confirmed. Access accepted. Safety switches 1-24 enabled. Enter destination server."

I typed it in and hit enter again. "Server recognized" the voice said "Accessing the Teleportation Engine Drive" The device started to hum "Drive accessed. Opening Anigate"

The Device hummed louder as the screen closed. "There" I said, reaching for the doorknob, "Now let's go" When I opened the door, there was an entirely separate world waiting on the other side. "Believe me now?" I asked him as we walked through the door. He was speechless as he stared around, open-mouthed.

Suddenly the device shot out sparks and our old world behind us abruptly fizzled out. "No! It shorted out again! I thought I fixed that!" I yelled. This snapped Yumi out of his trance. "What is that thing?" he asked the awe of the new world not yet out of his eyes. I grinned and held the device on my wrist in front of me. "It's called The Animator"
