Sophie sighed and opened the door to the detention room. She could tell there were about four other students in the room, but she didn't even give them a sideward glance as she marched over to the teacher's desk.
Mr. Hallow, the teacher, had his arms crossed over his chest, his head slumped over on his shoulder, and he was snoring. Sophie glanced at her detention slip and then put it quietly on the desk in front of her. She sighed and turned around to a surprise.
Robin and Nisan sat at two desks in the front row. They were slouched in their seats, with stone splitting, face-freezing scowls on their faces. Their arms were crossed and Sophie knew that something hadn't gone right. At the back of the room at two desks sat Pocahontas and John, both with guilty looks on their faces.
"What happened?" Sophie asked Robin and Nisan. Robin moved her left arm and pointed to the back of the room to John and Pocahontas.
"Oh nothing." She said. "'Gavin' over there just blew up a cake."
"And 'Chloe' burst out about marrying John Rolfe in History class." Nisan grumbled. "What happened to you?"
"Meeko put a tack on my teacher's chair." Sophie said. She plopped down in a chair next to Robin. "Remind me to kill him later."
Pocahontas and John, meanwhile in the back of the room, glanced at each other. This was all their fault. They didn't know what to do. Questions swirled in both of their minds. What was going to happen?
"Hey, guys," They looked towards the three girls. Robin waved them over. The two exchanged another glance, then got up and went over to them.
"OK, so we have a couple of problems." Nisan said. "Number one: Where are you guys going to stay?"
"We don't know." John said, shrugging. "With one of you guys?"
"Oh no. That can't happen!" Robin said. "One: My parents have seen that movie so much, they'll know it's you right off the bat! Not to mention they wouldn't let you stay anyway…not on short notice…"
"Neither would my parents." Sophie agreed.
"Mine, neither." Nisan said. She sighed. "Any ideas?"
"Not one." Pocahontas answered.
The five friends sat in silence for a minute. Suddenly, Robin jumped up.
"The haunted house!" She said. Her four friends looked at her.
"Huh?" Sophie asked.
"The haunted house!" Robin repeated.
"What's 'The Haunted House'?" Pocahontas asked.
"A haunted house is a place where creepy things happen. Ghosts and that kind of stuff." Nisan said.
"Anyway," Robin said. "I've never seen a ghost there, but the dang house can't keep a tenet for more than six months at a time, not to mention the lights turn themselves on and off."
"Okay…" Sophie said. "We also have another problem."
"What?" John asked.
"What you're going to wear." Nisan said. "If you guys are going to be here a while, it might be a good idea for you to blend in with the crowd."
Robin groaned. Robin hated shopping more than anything.
"And we have to get you there." Sophie added. "Taxi, anyone?"
Suddenly, her wristband vibrated. Sophie looked at the others. Robin and Nisan's bracelets remained dead.
"Hello?" A voice asked. "Sophie? Robin? Nisan?"
Robin, Sophie, Nisan, John, and Pocahontas looked at each other. "Aiyana!"
...oOo...
Aiyana grinned. She had done it!
"Guys! Thank goodness!" She said. Maka came over to join her.
"Are Pocahontas and John there with you guys?" She asked.
"We're here, Maka." Pocahontas said. "What's going on?"
"The Timestream is malfunctioning. Fifty-two people just like you in various animation history movies have been relocated. The good thing is, only you guys were taken to the future. Oh, and congrats on being the first cartoon characters in a movie to be unanimated!" She added, though the others could tell it wasn't really a joke.
"Thanks." John said from the other side of the Timestream. "But how will we get back?"
"That's the problem. See, I have to build a portal that will bring you home, and will Robin, Sophie, and Nisan can come anytime they want to with the press of their buttons."
Robin, Sophie, and Nisan glanced down at their wristbands, then looked back at Sophie's.
"Aiyana and I are trying to build it in our storage closet. It could be a while, though, guys!"
"That's OK." Sophie said. "We've pretty much already figured out where they're going to stay."
"And we're taking them shopping." Robin added.
"Great!" Aiyana said. "Good luck, though!"
"Well, we have to go. Sophie, be sure to always wear your wristband. Yours is the only one that works, but Robin, Nisan, wear yours, too. You never know when we might get yours fixed!" Maka said.
"OK, Maka, we will." Nisan and Robin promised. With that, Sophie's wristband crackled, and Maka and Aiyana were gone.
Suddenly, the bell rang.
"Come on! School's over for the weekend!" Robin said. "Oh, and be prepared. You've seen Maka's stuff, like computers and lightbulbs, but you ain't seen nothin' yet!"
They will be surprised! Oh, and they're taking Driver's Ed soon, too.
So run for cover.
Bloopers soon!
Review, please!
