Chapter Ten- Good News
Robin forgot all about Ratcliffe and ran back to Jamestown.
"Sophie!" She called. Sophie stood up.
"Robin! Where's Ratcliffe?" She asked.
"Taken care of. How are Nisan and Pocahontas?"
"Nisan's still out, but Pocahontas is fine. The bullet barely broke the skin." Sophie answered.
"Good. Ratcliffe is at the bottom, in the case that he can't swim, of the river. If not, he's really, really wet." Robin said.
"I can just see that!" Sophie said. "I'm sure he won't mess with us again anytime soon!"
"Yeah! Hey, where's Janet?" Robin said. She looked around. Aiyana looked at Sophie.
"She left. A ship was leaving port as after you left. She said if she went now, she'd make it. She's gone back to England." Aiyana said. "She said to thank you."
"I wish she had stayed, but England is her home. Did she say goodbye to Pocahontas and John?"
"Yep." Sophie answered.
"Good." Robin said. She looked at Nisan, who began to move.
"Did you kill Ratcliffe?" She asked as she sat up, rubbing her head.
"No, but I did send him plunging into the freezing water!" Robin said.
"Nice, Rob." Nisan said.
"Thanks. Come on, we'd better go find Pocahontas and John."
...oOo...
A week passed and Robin, Sophie, and Nisan began to wonder when they would ever get home.
"Do you guys know when you'll be going home? You did what you came here to do!" Pocahontas said one day.
"We know. Maka just has to tell us if we can go home or not." Sophie explained.
"And until then, you're stuck with us." Robin said, grinning.
"I'm just glad Janet is finally free from Ratcliffe." Pocahontas said.
"We are, too." Said Nisan, who glanced up from yet another book Maka had lent her. She, Sophie, and Robin were all bookworms.
"Robin, Sophie, Nisan!" Someone called. Robin and Sophie looked at each other and Nisan put down her book.
"That's John's voice." Pocahontas said, going out the hut door. The three girls followed in unison after her.
"John, what's wrong?" Sophie asked.
"Maka needs to see you." John said, slightly out of breath.
"Where is she?" Robin asked.
"Where do you think?" John asked. Robin, Nisan, and Sophie exchanged a look and took off running after Pocahontas, who had already started to run to Maka's, with John not far behind.
...oOo...
"Good, you guys are here!" Aiyana said. "Maka, tell them to good news!"
"You can go home." Maka said. Robin, Sophie, and Nisan smiled.
"And there's more." Aiyana added. "If you ever want to come visit, you can! All you have to do is, well, press this." She handed Nisan, Sophie, and Robin wristbands with what looked like little gems running along the band. Aiyana pressed one and the band lit up.
"Press yours." She commanded Robin and Sophie, who looked at theirs. They did and the bands also lit up. A purple portal opened.
"You have to have at least two to open the portal." Maka explained. "And once you're in the Vortex, time stops, like always."
"So anytime they want to come visit, they can?" John asked.
"Exactly."
"That's great!" Pocahontas said. "Now you don't have to come here when there's trouble."
"Wow!" Robin said, buttoning the band to her right wrist.
"So we can go home now?" Nisan asked.
"I'm not sure I want to yet." Sophie said. "But I know we can always just come back!"
"Right." Aiyana said.
"Here. You might want these." Maka said, handing them their 2007 clothes and school lanyards.
"Thanks! We'd be in trouble for sure if we forgot these!" Robin said, putting her lanyard around her neck.
"I guess this is goodbye again." Pocahontas said, looking at John.
"Not really. We can come back anytime, remember?" Robin said, indicating the band.
"I guess we'll see you then!" Sophie said. "Nice seeing you again!" She, Robin, and Nisan stepped into the portal and disappeared.
"I hope we see them again soon." Pocahontas whispered. John grinned.
"Something tells me we will."
A/N- Oh yeah, we will! Please review! I know this one is about eight chapters shorter than the last one, but there's another sequel coming!
