Poor Pizza Guy!

Eclipse smiled at Johnny. He stared. "Atlantis?"

Eclipse nodded. "This is the royal family's private beach."

"Oh gee. Fun."

"Um…. We have a problem"

"What is it?"

"I think that black hole- sinking sand thing…… took us to the past."

"Why?"

"There aren't any gauges in the sand. I remember there being gauges after me and some ugly dude got in a fight and our magic created permanent gauges."

"And when was that?"

"Um…. When I was eighteen."

"Great."

"Well, at least I know where I am! The layout of the country hasn't changed in years. The last time it changed, I was fourteen."

"Well, what time are we in?"

"Um….. I have no clue. Let's walk to the road." Eclipse led the way across the beach. Eclipse looked around. "Well…. Ah! Look!" She pointed to a billboard. "See! They took that down when I was sixteen! In fact, it was my birthday." A truck pulled up in front of the billboard. The billboard disappeared.

"Well. That answers that question. It's my sixteenth birthday."

"Okay… how do we get back."

"Well… We have to find someone to transport us to our original time, and then to your dimension."

"Who do we get to do that?"

"Um………….."

"Well?"

"The younger me or my great-grandmother."

"…………… oh Crap."

"Exactly. And plus," she waved her hand in front of a passerby. "I don't think any one can see us."

"Wait a minute. You mean… We're invisible?"

"Yeppers." Eclipse smiled and started to walk on the left side of the road.

"Where are you going?"

"To find me or Nana. C'mon."

Johnny sighed and ran after her, muttering to himself, "Why is it me tortured like this?"

Eclipse rolled her eyes and kept walking. They walked in silence.


Johnny looked around. He had to admit, Atlantis was a beautiful place. There were flowers lining the road, and many trees and rivers. They crossed a bridge and came across a sign:

Ur,

4 miles.

Johnny looked at Eclipse. "Ur?"

"You obviously never paid attention in your geography classes!"

"We're not even from the same dimension! How are our geography classes the same?!"

"We all learn the basics!"

"You mean… this is…. The Ur?"

"Don't make me laugh! Ahah! No. This is Ur generation 2. You know, the world started out with one dimension? Yep! Then it separated into two! Well, this city was built directly after the dimensions were created! So… it's old. There are hardly any real stores... in actual buildings. Its… like an outdoor market almost."

"I see…."

"Yes. You should. It's not that hard."

"Oh."

"Any way, we're here." Eclipse pointed ahead and Johnny gasped. A huge statue of a woman, holding a blade and a wolf was wrapped around her legs. But the woman's face is what captured Johnny's attention. "Eclipse?"

"Yes, Johnny?"

"Is that…. You?"

"Nah. It's an ancestor. I'm the reincarnation of her. That's Lunar around her legs."

"Oh."

Eclipse walked around it. "Well come on then."

Johnny followed. For a moment, he swore the statues eyes sparkled with happiness and heard laughter in his head. He shook it off and jogged over to Eclipse. He looked at Eclipse. She was chewing her lip and looking thoughtful. She glanced at him.

"It's rude to stare."

He flinched. "Right."

"Look! We're in the city!"

Johnny stared. "Holy-."

The city was like a busy hive, only there was no Queen. There were so many people, ranging from ages to the color of their skin. Voices were crying out things. Johnny looked around for Eclipse. She was staring at a girl with black hair and electric blue eyes. He walked over. Eclipse mumbled to herself, "Man… I haven't seen this person in forever."

"Um... Eclipse… there are a lot of people…."

"What? Oh yeah. Um…. Here." She held out her hand. "So you don't get lost."

Johnny stared at her hand a moment and cautiously took it.

"What? You act as if you never held hands with some one before! And I don't have cotties."

He looked at her.

"What? Oh well. Come on." She tugged his hand and started walking, telling him about the places. "That's the bakery/ creamery. My little sister hangs out there because she thinks the guy is cute. And that's Roz's mom's stand! She sells tons of stuff! Oh! Chocolate chip cookies!" Eclipse grabbed one and ate it. "Yum! Martha's cookies! Over there is the animal/pet section. Over there is the tattoo parlor, that's the other rich people bakery, and that was the grand bazaar."

"Well, where can we find the younger you?"

"There." Eclipse pointed with the hand Johnny was holding. Johnny's jaw dropped. There was a huge white palace, but what Eclipse pointed at was a tall tower. "I'd be at the tippy-top! Well… not really. More like right below the top, but you get it."

"What are you doing at the top... of a tower?"

"I share that room with Nyasha! Let's go!"

"Eclipse? Are you a princess?"

"Yeppers! A warrior princess! Now...how do we get in without people noticing that a door is opening on its own? Hey look! It's the pizza guy!" Eclipse pointed and there was the pizza guy. "Ach. Lot's of acne! Look at that!"

"Reminds me of Mmy."

"Who?"

"A-…. Never mind."

Eclipse looked at him a moment. "Whatever." Eclipse looked at their hands. "Hey. Can you let go? It's starting to get to me."

"Eh? Oh! Oh. S-sorry." Johnny let go quickly. "Hey! He's opening the Door!"

"Ach! Quick! Get in!" Eclipse grabbed his arm and yanked Johnny inside. The pizza guy closed the gate, nearly catching Johnny's foot.

Johnny looked around. The yard was a crisp green, and there was a weeping willow, surrounded by black and purple flowers.

Eclipse and Johnny followed the pizza guy. He paused and looked at the two wolf statues.

Eclipse chuckled. "Hehhehheheheh. The living crap is going to be scared out of that pizza guy."

"What?"

"Just watch."

The pizza guy walked up to the to wolves. Suddenly, one of them yawned. The pizza guy shouted. The wolf looked at him and spoke in a male voice with a Scottish accent. "Oi! Don't drop that pizza! My master needs it!"

The other wolf rolled its stony eyes and said in a British female voice, "Oh dear! Did you really have to scare him?"

"Yes I did! It made me feel good!"

"I hate you."

"I love you too!"

Eclipse laughed softly and smiled. The poor pizza guy knocked on the front door, looking at the two wolves every once and a while. Eclipse walked up the steps and stood directly behind, motioning for Johnny to join her. Eclipse tapped her foot behind the pizza guy, causing him to look over his shoulder. Johnny watched as Eclipse's face turned from confused to evilness. She reached out and poked him. The pizza guy that is. He jumped and whipped around. Eclipse giggled and poked his forehead. He gasped and slapped himself in he forehead. Eclipse laughed and slapped the poor pizza guy in the face. She started laughing harder.

The door opened. Johnny's jaw dropped. He had never seen someone so pale, yet so beautiful. The girl that stood before them had black hair, green eyes, and wore a pair of baggy black pants and a tight top. She had black lips, and black eye makeup. How ever, he noticed she was beautiful, in a gothic, sad way. But as some one once said, "Hell! Pretty is bloody pretty!" Johnny reached put and tapped Eclipse. She ignored him and kept laughing. He poked in the ribs and made sure it hurt.

"OW!"

"Doors open."

"Oh. Well lets go!" Eclipse walked in and Johnny followed. The girl reached in a pocket and pulled out a check. She handed it to the pizza guy, grabbed the pizza and closed the door. She turned and looked at a woman that walked over. The woman scowled and put her hands on her hips. "It is seven in the morning! What have I told you about ordering pizza this early, Eclipse?"

Johnny's jaw dropped. "Eclipse? That's Eclipse? Okay. We're doomed!"
