Chapter 3: Cloe's Arrival
I had just gotten home from a sleep-over with my best friend. I was supposed to meet her at the skate park in about an hour. I flung my stuff on the bed then climbed over, grabbed my skates, and reached into my night-side table for some money. I put my skates on and slid down the banister.
I usually didn't do that but my dad wasn't home and I knew that my uncle wouldn't mind because he did it to sometimes.
I left a note telling them where I was going and left. The skate park was about eight blocks away and I had thirty minutes to get there.
I arrived at about the same time she had. We paid our way in and completed in the daily races that usually took place. I got three thirds and two firsts. Kina (my friend) got two seconds and three firsts.
We walked out laughing and fiddling with the ribbons we had won.
"I think we know who is the best skater don't we?" Kina asking because she beat me in the last race of the day. I went back to her house and put my stuff on the floor next to the door.
We got on her computer and played that new computer game that she had gotten two days before. It was a fighting game and the name was too hard to prounce. I chose a fox to fight with and Kina chose a fat man. We fault until I finally kicked her into the ocean where she sank and drown.
"Now we know the better gamer don't we?" I asked gloating like Kina did earlier.
Then the phone rang. Kina jumped up to get it, in the other room.
"Hello" I heard her say when she picked up. "Yeah she's her. You want her to come home. Okay I'll tell her. Bye." She walked back into the room. "Your dad wants you home."
I walked over to the door and grabbed my skates and was about to say goodbye when she said "Hey wait ! I got you something." she went into the kitchen and came back "That bubblegum you were looking for." She handed it to me.
"Wow! I've been looking all over for this, where did you find it?" I asked surprised.
"My mom picked it up. Her job at the corner store sells it now." she answered.
"Cool thanks," I said.
"No problem," she said, as if it were nothing.
"Well, I'd better get going or my dad might call in a search team." I said.
"Yeah I think you should," she said beginning to laugh. "Bye."
"Bye," I said walking out.
I was on my way home with my skates flung over my left shoulder. I pulled the pack of gum out of my pocket and opened it. I pulled a piece out, unwrapped it and popped it into my mouth, then noticed something on the wrapper. It said:
Into a new world you go
To catch monsters to and fro
The time has come
so down you go.
Then the ground disappeared and it felt as if I were falling into a world of nothingness. After a while, my feet hit the ground, my knees buckled and I fell.
I looked around and couldn't see a thing. Then the floor started to move and I was pulled into the light, where I found I wasn't alone. I got up and started to look around. Then some one pushed this bag and this blue box, with cards in it, into my hands. I walked around a little while and saw Kackrot.
"Hi…um…can I travel with you? I have no idea what is going on and yeah." I asked. He nodded with a smile.
"I have a map and I think we should get going. We're going to the ocean first." He said.
We walked out into the sun light and headed down the road. It was really long but we finally got to a fork. He didn't which way to go so he sat his pack down by a tree to look through it. Then a girl fell out of the tree and landed on Kackrot's shoulders.
"Flame Hi! How did you get here!" I asked.
