Thanks so much for everyones reviews!!!

And with nothing else to say let's begin!


Tori woke up and jumped as she saw Murtagh watching her. She hadn't recognised him because he was now wearing the clothing she had borrowed off Jay. Tori suppressed a laugh, he had managed to put the shirt and pants on backwards and his shoe laces weren't done up.

"Hey" she grinned at him, still trying not to laugh.

"Tori I must tell you, I don't see how you wear this sort of clothing, it is extremely uncomfortable"

"That's because you've put them on wrong" Tori rubbed her eyes and stood up, laughing.

Murtagh looked down at himself, then gave Tori a confused look. "What's wrong?"

"Well your pants and shirt are backwards. Take them off and put them on the other way around" Tori blushed as soon as she had said it. She was about to say he should go behind a bush and change when Murtagh pulled his pants off, flipped them around and climbed back into them correctly.

"What is this thing?" Murtagh said referring to his fly.

Tori went even redder. My head must look like a giant tomato "It's the zipper, you have to pull it up, then do the button. But be careful not to pinch your, uh, you know- no not like that- you gotta hold it and- no the other bit- pull that bit there- no like- oh God, I'm gunna have to do it for you aren't I?"

Tori walked towards him and showed him how to do up his fly, no daring to make eye contact. When the excruciatingly embarrassing moment was over Tori stepped away and looked up at Murtagh who didn't seem at all phased by the entire situation. He eyed her curiously "Are you alright Tori, your face it all red…"

"Oh, I'm- I'm fine. It's just really hot out here don't you think?" Tori fanned herself with her hands then spoke again before Murtagh had a chance to answer. "Ok your shirt now"

Murtagh pulled it off, it was inside out and Murtagh was struggling to get it back to it's original state. "Uh Tori"

Tori sighed and showed him how to turn it around.

"But it looks the same as it did before" Murtagh said "I thought you said it was backwards"

"It was" Tori said, she pointed to the tag "See this? This has to go on the back of your neck" she sighed again when she saw the confusion on his face "Here, lift your arms up I'll do it"

Murtagh lifted his arms and Tori had to get up on her tippy-toes to put Murtagh's shirt on for him. When it was finally on she patted Murtagh on the chest and smiled "Ok now let's do your shoes"

"Are they on wrong too?" Murtagh asked getting frustrated.

"No" Tori bent down and grabbed his laces "We've just gotta go do them up" When she was finished she stood up and put her hands on her hips as if she were admiring her handy work "Comfy now?"

Murtagh nodded.

"Good. Well, I have to go home and meet my sister. I can't be late or I'll be in deep shit"

"I want to come with you" Murtagh told her.

"You do?"

Murtagh nodded with a grin then said "It's just I've never been to this dimension before, believe it or not"

Tori laughed then played along "Dimension?"

"Yeah a space dimension, you know how they say that there are all these different dimensions and if you're in like a freak accident you get sucked from one dimension to another" Murtagh replied in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"I don't sound like that!" Tori smiled.

"I'm afraid you do" Murtagh answered.

Tori searched for a comeback but couldn't think of one, "You suck!" she huffed, trying to look offended.

Murtagh just laughed "Come, we'd better not keep your sister waiting or you'll be in deep shit" Murtagh said mocking Tori once again.

Tori hugged him "I hate you" she laughed.

Murtagh bit his tongue and shut his eyes he almost answered 'I love you' Don't do it to yourself Murtagh, He heard a voice in his head say. Tori felt him tense up a little, "Are you ok?"

Murtagh nodded

"Ok, let's go then"

Murtagh nodded again and picked up his quiver, bow and sword. Tori saw what he was doing and took them off him immediately "No!" she said quickly "No! No, no, no. No!"

"Why not?" Murtagh asked.

"Because people don't walk around with swords here, if some one saw you with this stuff they'd call the cops"

"…Who?"

Tori shook her head "Never mind, just trust me ok? You'll be safe without it ok, please just leave here."

Murtagh hesitated then sighed, "alright, no sword, now arrows. But I'm bringing my dagger"

Tori was about to protest but changed her mind when she saw the unease in Murtagh's eyes "Ok" she said softly "But promise me you won't stab anyone or anything just because you don't know what it is"

Murtagh smiled "I promise"

"Ok. Let's go then"

Murtagh and Tori headed out of the clearing, towards her house. All the while Murtagh was quite on edge, especially when a helicopter flew over head. Tori calmed him and explained what it was, again Murtagh was fascinated by the fact it flew without flapping wings.

Murtagh stopped when they got to Tori's house "This is incredible" he told her "How did you make those stones so square?"

"They're bricks they're different to rocks" Tori told him "Actually I'm not sure how you make brick" Tori furrowed her eyebrows "Huh, I'll have to look that one up. Anyway let's go inside"

They climbed through Tori's window into her bedroom. Murtagh was absolutely awestruck by absolutely everything he saw.

"What's this?" he asked.

"A computer"

"And this?"

"An alarm clock"

"And this?"

"A lamp"

"And this?"

"Deodorant"

"And what about this?"

"A Television"

Tori heard some one call her name from the kitchen.

"Oh crap, that's Abby" she whispered to Murtagh "You stay here until I tell you to come out ok? Here watch TV for a minute" she flicked the television on then quickly headed out of the room.

"Abby! Hey!" She smiled when she saw her sister "What's up?"

"What's up?" Abby repeated angrily "What's up?! This is what's up Tori" She slammed the newspaper down on the bench infront of her.

Tori looked at the front page and felt her stomach drop, there on the front cover was a picture of her, Murtagh and Thorn on the freeway. The headline read 'Giant Red Monster on the Loose' She looked up at Abby and laughed nervously.

"Explain" Abby crossed her arms.

Tori went to speak when Murtagh burst out of her room.

"Tori! There is a woman trapped in the box in your room!" He told her worriedly.

Tori turned back to Abby, who looked extremely shocked. "Abby, this is Murtagh"

"Tori the woman is trapped" he repeated.

Tori walked towards him and followed him into her room "What are you talking about?"

"Look" he pointed to the television screen. A woman was reading the news "She can't hear me, I can't figure out how to get her out"

Tori laughed "No, she isn't really in there Murtagh, it's just a video of her. Do you remember how I told you about something called a video camera? Well, that's what most things on TV are, the people aren't really inside the television…" She quickly explained what was going on and showed Murtagh how to change the channel. Murtagh sat watching as the channel changed, absolutely fascinated.

She turned back to Abby "Who is that psycho?" she asked.

"His name is Murtagh and he isn't from… around here" Tori answered carefully.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Abby whispered angrily.

"Well, he's a foreigner. There is not such thing as a TV where he comes from"

"No shit!" Abby spat angrily.

"Language…" Tori responded meekly.

Abby groaned glanced over at Murtagh who was tapping on the screen of the television 'can you hear me?' he asked the woman on the screen. He jumped backed, startled as he changed the channel to a lion roaring, Murtagh pulled out his dagger and leapt at the TV. Tori was watching him too, her eyes widened.

"Hey! Murtagh no! Stop!" She yelled grabbing the dagger and trying to pull it from Murtagh's grip, which proved harder than she expected. Giving up she pulled Murtagh's arm down and tried to hide it from Abby, but it was too late. She had seen it.

Abby's face went red with anger "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! TORI THIS GUY HAS A FRIKEN KNIFE!!! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY SISTER YOU SCUMBAG!" Abby pulled Tori away from Murtagh, she dragged her out of the room and slammed the door quickly so that Murtagh could not get out. "I'm calling the cops!"

"Abby stop!" Tori begged as her sister pulled her into the kitchen "He isn't dangerous!"

"Not dangerous?!" Abby looked at Tori in utter disbelief "The guy was hiding in your room! He tried to attack your television! And he has a god damned knife!" Abby was becoming breathless "I mean, do you want me to have a nervous break down because I am pretty sure I'm on the verge of one!"

"Abby, I told him to hide in my room so you wouldn't freak out like this, so much for that working out! And I told you already he's never seen a television before of course he freaked out give him a break!"

"And the knife?"

"Actually it was a dagger"

"Tori I'm going to kill you!"

"Why?!"


Well bye! Love you all! Hope you liked it!
