Hello all my wonderfull readers. I would like to thank all my reviewers especially seabiscuit0810 for the advice.

Disclaimer: me no owny the world and inhabitance of Tortal!

And now with no further ado heres chapter 3.

When Susan got home from the movies only one of the four "guests" from Tortal were still there. Susan's parents had refused to let Alan, his brother, and Dom (a/n yes Dom from Protector of the Small) stay in there house so Tomy had invited them to stay at his house. The only Tortalan that had been aloud to stay at her house was Lady Kel. Susan, whose room was unusually clean, let Kel have her room and slept in her sister's room.

The next day Susan woke up earlier than usual. Why is it that when ever people from Tortal are around I can't sleep in. Susan crawled out of bed and hoped that Kel was up so that she could get take a shower and get dressed. Luckly enough Kel was awake so Susan grabbed some clean clothes and the other things she would need (brush, towel ect.) and got ready for the day. By the time Susan was dressed and she and Kel had eaten Kathleen, Tomy and the other Tortalans were at Susan's house. Alan, Dom, Kel and Thom wanted to see what it was like in our world so Susan, Kat and Tomy decided to show them around the first place they went was a park but it was a little cold, then they went to the local mall.

Susan found it hard to keep her self from laughing when she saw the looks on the Tortallans' faces.

"Those stairs are moving" said Alan who was the first to talk.

At that comment Susan couldn't keep a tiny laugh from coming out. Everyone just stared at her.

"Sorry it's just I'm not used to people being suprised to see an esculator." Susan explained as they walked past the 'moving stairs' as Alan had called them. The next big suprise for the Tortallans was when they reached the center of the mall. It was December 24th Christmas Eve and the mall still had a Santa in the center of the mall to ask little children what they wanted for Christmas. By the time Susan and Kathleen had finished explaining who Santa Claus was, Tomy had started laughing when he heard that they knew nothing about Santa, it was time to go back to Susan's house for dinner.

They had a large dinner and then talked untill it was time to go to church for the Christmas Eve Service. Tomy and the Tortallans had decided not to go, so the guys went back to Tomy's house and Kel decided to take a look at some of the things in Susan's room.

Tomy's House

Tomy, Thom, Dom and Alan were talking about what had happened since they had last seen each other.

"So how are things going in Tortal?" asked Tomy.

"Well it's kind of borring; no wars, no parties about the only thing happening is Pirate Raids." said Dom

"During winter?" asked Tomy slightly confused.

"It's summer in Tortall." said Dom.

"oh."

"So whats going on around here?" asked Thom

"Well its Christmas which means parties and no schoool. And then there is School when we don't have holidays, New Years is in a week and then theres School agian."

"So has Susan been seeing some one while she's been gone?" asked Alan.

"No, she's been moping since we got back the she is only happy when she's doing something."

"Oh." said Alan slightly relieved that she haddn't fallen in love with someone else.

"Where's Devin?" asked Thom intent on changing the subject.

"he went to college."

They kept talking and changing the topic all night.

Susan's house at the same time

Kel was facinated by the things Susan had in her room. She had candles and torches that lit without fire, a strange box that played music, and a strange looking thing that held pictures that talked and moved. But what Suprised her the most were the books with storys from her world.

Ok I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. And next week I'm leaving on Vacation so I won't have much time to write for the next two weeks.
