We're Not In Kansas Anymore

Note: Hey everybody! Thank you so much for reviewing my previous chapters! You guys rock the world! There seemed to be some confusion about diabetes. You cannot get diabetes directly from eating too much sugar, especially type one, and not all diabetics are over weight. In fact, most type one diabetics are slender. Okay, so if there are any more questions email me! Sorry this chapter was so late, my computer crashed! Grrrrrrrrrr to technology! Ciao Tutti !

Disclaimer: I am not trying to take any sort of credit for T. P's superb writing!


Thud! The three girls landed in some sort of desert. Sand was all you could see for miles except for a plant here and there.

" You guys we're not in Kansas anymore," Merry said in a state of complete shock.

" We were never in Kansas!" Hannah screamed, also in a state of shock.

"Oh I'm sorry maybe the fact that I was just dumped into the middle of a desert, through me off a little!" Meredith retorted sarcastically.

"You guys...," Ingrid muttered. They kept on arguing not noticing her.

" Ooooooooooh, touchy!" Hannah shouted at Meredith.

"Like you're not!"

" You guys," still noone noticed Ingrid.

"I'm not!" Hannah shouted back( at Meredith).

That's it. Ingrid was fed up. " YOU GUYS!" This got their attention.

"What?" Hannah and Meredith snapped at her.

" Where did the tree go?"

"What tree?" Meredith asked Ingrid.

" The tree we were sitting on! It was here one moment and now its not! Not to mention that there are no deserts in Madison!"

" Or in Wisconsin or the Midwest, for that matter!" Hannah piped in.

" OH MY GOD!" They all screamed. They had no clue what their situation was and, well, that made everything worse. For a few minutes all they could do was sit and scream. They were coming out of shock and were now facing their reality. Merry was the first to calm down.

" I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this," Meredith said calmly.

"Yea, like what?" Ingrid yelled.

"Well," Meredith had to think for a moment. " Um..."

" Like we fell out of the tree," Hannah was calming down.

" Yes!" Meredith agreed. "Like we fell out of the tree."

" Maybe there was something in the candy," Ingrid said trying to make sense of things.

" Yes, that too." They agreed.

She nodded. " So this is what its like to be high...," Ingrid said, her voice wavering. She felt dizzy. The ground jumped up at her. She felt so weak. Everything kept spinning, she felt sick. She needed to sit down. No she wouldn't do that! If her friends could stay sane and standing, so could she! Her knees gave way leaving her laughing hysterically. Meredith and Hannah knelt down beside their friend laughing with her. Hannah, Ingrid, and Meredith all came closer together, in group hug.

" We should probably get up," Hannah said after a few minutes. " And figure out where the hell we are. Make a fire or something." The three of them stood-up. Ingrid tried to push herself up but she couldn't. She was so dizzy. She felt so weak.

" I think I'm going to...," Ingrid collapsed on the ground just as she said this.

" Oh my god!" They said. " Ingrid!" Meredith and Hannah knelt down beside her. Hannah slapped her face lightly trying to get her back into consciousness. "Ingrid!"

"Here," Meredith offered frantically. " I have some frosting." Out of her pocket she pulled small tube of blue decorating gel.

" Perfect." Hannah squeezed the end out the tube until blue frosting slowly came out. She stuck the tip in Ingrid's mouth allowing the surgery substance to dissolve, giving her sugar and life.

" Why were you carrying around decorating gel?" Hannah asked. Meredith shrugged.

Ingrid's eyes flickered open after about half the tube had gone into her system. " Wow, what just happened there?"

" You fainted," they replied in unison.

"Oh," Ingrid said. " Oops" They all laughed. . "Alright, lets get this fire started!" Ingrid tried to stand up again. With help from her friends she was standing, but not for long. She stumbled and tottered.

" Maybe you should sit for a bit," Hannah suggested.

" Yea," Ingrid agreed. " Maybe I should..." Ingrid sat down. She fell asleep almost immediately after sitting down. ' I got to stay awake! I have gotta, but I'm so..' Ingrid fell asleep before she could finish her train of thought.

" Okay," Hannah said once she was sure Ingrid was asleep. "On to the fire making!" She flashed an evil-grin to Meredith.

" Um...Okay. What are we supposed use to light it? And what on Earth, or...er...where ever we are...are we supposed to light? Hannah gave another evil-pyro-grin and produced a packet of matches.

" Okay great but once again what are we supposed to light? All there is sand and that giant, dead, cactus over there!" She pointed to her left at a huge cactus. Once again Hannah gave her an evil-pyro-grin!

" No. No, you're kidding right? We're going to light the cactus!" Hannah struck the match and headed towards the cactus. Meredith ran after her.

" Hannah no!" She pleaded. " Don't, don't...Hannah"

" Too late," Hannah through the match onto the cactus.


Ingrid saw flashes of different images. At first she was sitting with Hannah and Meredith on their tree again. It must have been a dream, she thought. 'It was all a strange dream' Then suddenly the image changed, she saw herself and her friends lying in the sand. She was there, she cold feel the sun on her back, and the sand blowing against her face, but she wasn't really with them. She didn't know where she was. It was as if she was in between sleep and consciousness. Hannah and Meredith stood. A flash of flame. Everything was burning, her whole world spinning. Now all the images were jumbled up mixed with each other. Some sort of mage leaning over a spell. Words and strange incantations rang through her ears. Two knights were walking on a side walk by her house, by their tree. They looked familiar. Flash! A row of tents. Flash! She was inside one. The same mage, frantically, looking for a spell, in some sort of a ancient book. Paging through it. Flash! More flames, everything spinning again. The flames faded out leaving her in darkness. She couldn't move, speak or see. She was in nothing, trapped. There was a comfort, she heard voices, distant voices. The voices got louder and louder until she realized they were her friend's voices. Flash!


" GET IT OUT," Hannah screamed. " GET IT OUT! AAAAAH!"

" Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Meredith waved her arms in the air. All in all they looked like a pair of chickens with their heads cut off.

" Holly shit!" Ingrid said waking up suddenly. She jumped up and ran over to them. " Stomp on it!" All three of them started stomping on the bottom of the now, very black burned, cactus!

" I don't think stomping on it is really going to help!" Meredith yelled frantically.

" You're right!", Ingrid agreed. " Uh...ummmm...Hannah ideas?"

" No, all there is, is sand!"

" Sand!" Meredith proclaimed. " Throw the sand on the cactus!" Obediently they started to desperately throw sand onto the burning cactus. After a while the flames dwindled. Once the fire had gone out all that was left was a very crispy cactus.

" What on Earth Hannah?" Ingrid shouted at her friend. " What the hell were you thinking? And I am guessing that this was you considering the fact that you're the one holding on to the matches!"

" Well, sorry miss faints-a -lot. I was trying to keep us warm!"

" By lighting a fuckin' cactus on fire, oh yea real bright!"

While Hannah and Ingrid were fighting Meredith investigated the charcoal cactus. She cautiously picked up a remaining piece of it. She held it to her nose to sniff it.

" Don't eat it Meredith!", Hannah and Ingrid both yelled at her.

" Geez you guys! I'm not stupid, I don't eat burnt cactuses!"

" Cacti," Hannah corrected.

" Whatever!" There was an awkward silence for a few minutes.

" What should we do you guys?", Ingrid asked. " We really don't have anything to burn. I think we'll be warm enough..."

" Yea sure. Okay. Whatever." Hannah replied.

" You guys! We could use the cactus! The pieces that got burned off, they might catch fire." Meredith suggested. Things were very tense and even Meredith's stroke of genius couldn't break the tension. Ingrid collected the pieces up into a small pile. Hannah took out her matches and lit them. They all gathered around the fire and simply went to sleep without another word. Just because they weren't saying anything doesn't mean they weren't thinking anything. They laid there silently tihnking to themselves as sand blew in there eyes and got into their hair.

' God', Ingrid thought. ' What's up with her. Its not my fault that I fainted. I couldn't help that but she didn't have to light a cactus on fire! I don't know why we are even friends, we obviously don't think alike, I would never light a cactus on fire...it did look kinda fun though but still this! Yuck there is sand in my mouth.'

' God,' Hannah thought ' What's up with her. Its not my fault the cactus took flame so easily but its her fault that she fainted and worried us all like that! I don't know why we are even friends, we are obviously nothing alike, I would never let myself faint I would have eaten way before this! Eeeeww I am so taking a shower when I get home. This sand is really annoying this!'

' Why do those to have to fight all the time?' Meredith thought. ' Especially at a time like this. We don't know where we are or anything and they are fighting over a stupid cactus! I just...I don't know...I hate it when they fight, it's just stupid. Maybe tomorrow things will seem better. Maybe then they'll get along, maybe we'll make peace. And maybe we'll find out where the hell we are...'


Sorry, sort of a cheesy ending for a chapter! Please R R :D
