A/N: Well here's the next chapter in When Was This. Sorry about the whole delay thing...don't really have an excuse!
Chapter 4
"How do you propose that we go about this 'search' of yours?" I said.
"Well, you remember the artifact that I told you about?" I nodded to Steve. "And you didn't believe me?" Again I nodded, wondering how in the world he knew that. "I'm gonna tell you again, it's real!" he said.
I stared at him, still not believing. He sighed, reached into his pocket and extracted a small, smooth, brilliantly blue colored stone. My eyes widened in shock. It was exactly as he had described it, shape and all.
He smirked at my stunned expression.
"See? I told ya. You're gonna have to learn to trust me, buddy boy, if you want to survive this little 'escapade' of mine."
We continued walking the twelve blocks back to my house while Steve explained his plan.
"We're gonna need food, clothes, water, yatta yatta, etc. You know, the works!"
We arrived at my house and walked in, Steve sporting a grin and I sporting numerous smarting cuts and bruises.
"Make yourself at home, Steve, I'm gonna go patch myself up!"
"Alright!" Steve said, sitting down at the kitchen table.
For the second time that day walked into the upstairs restroom and looked at myself in the mirror as I withdrew the first-aid kit. I slowly and carefully cleaned my wounds and slapped on a few band-aids. I walked into my room and grabbing my backpack and dumping all my school stuff out and onto the floor so as to make room for the clothes we would need.
"Hey Steve!" I yelled. "What size clothes do you wear?" Silence. He was probably pondering this or checking the tag on the back of his tank top shirt.
"Medium, why?" he responded.
"Well it looks like you can use my clothes for the trip 'cause I'm the same size!"
"Cool!" he said.
I descended the stairs. "So what are we gonna do about food?" I asked.
"We'll take all of what we have here and hope the inhabitants of the other worlds are hospitable." Steve said.
There was an awkward silence, broken by the sound of the air conditioner turning on.
"Umm…how are we supposed to use it?" I asked.
"No clue."
"What do you mean you don't know!" I yelled.
"Well, I've never used it before so I don't…"
Marks sentence was cut off as a feeling of weightlessness overpowered my body and I lost consciousness.
A/N: Well, if you think that was too short, don't worry, the next chapter is gonna go up by tommorow! Please R&R!
