"Owen it's time to wake up!" His mom called from downstairs. Owen slowly woke up, then rolled out of bed and checked the time. It was early. It was a school morning, which he wasn't very happy about. He wished he could go to the library all day instead of the most boring place in the world.
He changed his clothes and ran down the stairs. He ended up in the kitchen of the house. "Hi mom!"
"Ready for school?" She asked.
"No," he sighed feeling bored already at the thought of school. "Not really."
She smiled and handed him a plate of food, which he accepted gratefully. He sat down and began chewing on his plate of eggs and bacon. He was usually always hungry in the morning so he liked eating breakfast, unlike his best friend Bethany, who skipped breakfast all the time. Except for on weekends. On weekends, her and Owen and sometimes one of their other fictional friends went to a diner to eat breakfast. There, she always ate pancakes.
Thinking of pancakes now made him regret eating the eggs. Great. Now he wanted pancakes! Oh well. He'd get to have some later when it wasn't a school morning.
He finished eating and threw his leftovers in the trash. He grabbed his backpack, patted Spike on the head, and yelled "goodbye" to his mom. He walked to the bus stop, which wasn't very far. The air was warm outside and he was wearing shorts and a Harry Potter themed t-shirt.
The bus arrived, and Owen climbed onto it, sitting down immediately and staring out of the window. He never liked bus rides. He was always alone and he was never with Bethany, since she lived farther away.
When he got to school, he realized that Bethany was nowhere to be found. He was disappointed, especially because they were in all of the same classes except for history class. Where was she? He had no idea. She also took a lot of trips into the fictional world to see Jupiter City with her dad, and her stepbrother, Orion, also known as Kid Twilight.
Owen also visited the fictional world often, and he had spent many nights with Bethany in Jupiter City. Him and Bethany visited their friends a lot, who visited them in the nonfictional world too. Both fictional and nonfictional could move between the worlds, so it was easy if he wanted to see his friends. The past year had been a blast for him.
He hung out with Kara a lot, and they actually had a lot of fun together. He also loved the time he got to spend with Charm, who he had the biggest crush on. He hung out with Kiel too, and him and Bethany and Owen spent the most time together.
He loved the adventures they went on. It was the perfect life without Nobody there to stop them. Bethany had her father, and she was happy. Owen was happy, too. The fictional world was sometimes too dangerous for him, and he had bad memories from it, but he still had a lot of fun. He was always with his friends so he never had a bad time.
At the end of the day, he was walking to the library to help his mom out and hopefully see Bethany, who has mysteriously disappeared. Just as he started thinking about Kara again, the air wavered in front of him. He screamed as a person appeared right in front of him.
It was Kara, and with her was Orion!
Owen gasped. "Um...hello. What on earth are you two doing here?"
"Its really important," Kara Dox said. She let go of Orion, who was breathing heavily. She grabbed Owen's hand. "Come on. We have to get to the fictional world."
"Er, what? Why?"
"Bethany is in danger!" Orion said, catching his breath finally. "if you dont come now, everything will be lost! Stop asking questions and just do what we say."
Owen frowned. "She is?" He looked to Kara. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Come with us and you will see," said Kara. "We think Nobody might be back."
"Oh no..." Owen whispered.
