Chapter 4
Although she was totally taken back by what had just happened, she looked at her watch and realised that she must have been gone about 3 hours now. She knew she shouldn't be here, so she should go. But there was something about this ship.
She had to get in it.
If she didn't now she never would. So she plucked up the courage and carefully climbed up the steps and sat in the seat. But before she knew what was happening, the lid of the ship closed and sealed her in. Then a bar lowered itself around her chest and the engine started up. "Oh I am in so much troub." Before she could finish her sentence she saw a strange dial on the screen, it had a date and year next to it, and it was counting down. She started to feel sick as if she was being flung forward at such a force that she almost wished she hadn't come down here in the first place.
"Ah Baka!" Moray managed to bang her head on the screen. It immediately opened in the middle of a field. The bar raised and she crawled out. "Oh my head…" She pulled herself up and brushed herself down. When her head had stopped spinning, she realised that she wasn't in the lab anymore. Moray walked South, logically thinking it would bring her back to South City. Every yard or so she walked through the field she looked at her watch and thought how long she would be grounded for this. 30 minuets later, grounded for a week. An hour later, 2 weeks, 2 hours later, a month at lest. Kami she was in trouble. Especially when she reached civilisation, she didn't know where she was and she couldn't find anyone to ask them because the streets were deserted. "But it's a Saturday night and the city is dead? Where is everyone?" That moment she didn't think her day could have gotten any worse. She had just seen a street sign.
"Welcome to Nikky Town… NIKKY TOWN! What the HFIL am I doing HERE? Oh my Kami I must be hundreds of miles away from South City, not to mention another hundred miles from home, oh my Kami I am screwed!...What the?" her expression turned from shock and horror to pure confusion. A news paper had just blown onto her feet and it said the date from a DECADE ago! "Oh my day just cant get any worse." And then her stomach rumbled. "Well. I guess it can. Curse my huge mouth!" Remembering she was starving, she looked around for a fast food joint and found a burger place and there was no one around, so she helped herself. It was weird though. Nikky Town is almost bigger than Southcity and it was disserted, and the food was still hot. After she finished up, all fed and ready to go, she thought right, find someone, anyone and ask for directions and an explanation. Maybe she was so hungry that she was seeing things? She can't be in the past. That's impossible. Unless. The dial in the ship that was counting down was a time dial. It would explain it. "Trust me to get myself trapped in a time machine."
