Chapter 2
Ronica stepped out of the plane and hit the land that was called the United Kingdom. She looked around to see if she spotted the person picking her up. She held her carry on bag under her arm as she looked for Michael. She looked at her watch and luckily she had set it at British time before she got off the plane.
"He is so late. I hate it when people are late…" Ronica whispered to herself as she looked at the crowds of people to spot her friend. One person stuck out the most. At the waiting seats was a person sitting down. Almost hunched back looking down. Ronica came closer and saw that the person was playing a Nintendo DS and wearing a black McLaren hat. Ronica sighed. Who else could it be but her friend? She stood behind him and crossed her arms. She figured that he would notice someone behind him but he was far too involved in his game to even breathe. Ronica coughed a bit to get some attention but nothing. Michael was absorbed into his game. She smiled as she knew what could get his attention.
"Is that the new portable Wii from Nintendo?!?! Wow. That is so much better than the DS!!!!" Michael quickly turned around to see what the new product from Nintendo was and shook his head when he saw Ronica.
"Very funny, I didn't think you would be here this soon."
"Actually the plane was late. By an hour." Ronica said as she uncrossed her arms and sighed.
"If that's the case that must mean that my DS batteries are outstanding." Michael looked at his DS in amazement.
"Great. If I knew you were going to be in love with your DS, I would have never got between you two. I am getting my bags and if you won't come along, then I guess my secret stays a secret," Ronica grew frustrated and went to claim her bags.
"Americans…" Michael whispered as he placed his DS into the carrying case and followed Ronica. "You might as well tell me your secret or else." Michael threatened.
"Or else what? You do something or say something I do not like I swear I will tell everyone how much you like Ferrari."
"You know that is something you do not even joke around with."
"Sorry. I know that is a touchy subject but lets get along with this alright?! I need to show this... but in a place where there isn't such a crowd. Alright, Capy?" Ronica smiled at his strange pet name.
"SH!" Michael hissed. So it is ok between two people but in front of hundreds in the airport… a definite no-no!
"Do we need to rent a car?" Ronica asked as she picked up her bags.
"Nope, I brought my own wheels." Michael said proudly.
"Um, yea, so where did you park your mom's car?" She joked as they walked out of the airport onto the parking lot. Michael grinned as he pointed to the black Rover 45 in amongst a group of other Rovers that were also parked in the lot.
"That's the car in the car park over there."
"The car park?" Ronica asked.
"It is not my fault Americans learned Bad English."
"Oh shut up and open the trunk so I can put the bags in."
"Not until you say it." Michael crossed his arms.
"Say what?!" Ronica dropped her bags and crossed her arms as well.
"You know the routine."
Ronica sighed. She had no time for games but… she knew he was just doing this to get to her. "If I say it, I swear I will tell your folks to call you Capy for the rest of your life!"
"My parents are out of town, so is my sister. So there is no one to tell." Michael grinned.
"Alone… a house all alone... kinky."
"Don't be cheeky… just say it and we will be on our way."
"FINE! Geeish. Us Americans say Trunk, Windshield, Hood, Attic and Junkyard. The correct way to say it is Boot, Windscreen, Bonnet, loft, and TIP!"
"That's better. Let's go." Michael said as he opened the Boot up and helped Ronica put her bags into the boot. Ronica went towards the passenger side door to get in and was more confused.
"There is a steering wheel on my side of the car..."
"That is because you are on the driver's side. Come on, I need to get some petrol before we head home." Michael said as he moved Ronica out of the way and sat in the driver side... the right side that is the passenger side in the states.
"British..." Ronica whispered as she went to the other side of the car. While Michael started the engine and drove towards his home.
After the hour long drive of Ronica screaming that they were on the wrong side of the road and Capy's Kylie Minogue CD, they reached the house just outside of London.
"I wanted to see the big clock Lt. Ben." Ronica whined as she got out of the car.
"It is called Big Ben... but Lt. Ben doesn't sound bad." Michael agreed as he opened the boot and unloaded the bags for Ronica. She was still clutching her carry on, which had Michael wondering. They both entered the house and Ronica took a seat in the living room.
"What I am in sitting on is called the sofa right?" Michael nodded as Ronica grinned. "We agree on something finally. Getting down to business... I have something you have to look at." Ronica opened her carry on bag. The bag was simple. Nothing that would distract or cause any unwanted attention to her.
"Is it secret news from Nintendo?" Michael sat on the sofa and waited to see what she had hidden.
"No… better." She pulled out the remote and Michael looked at it, a bit confused.
"That is it? An RCA universal remote control?" Ronica nodded as Michael took it out of her hands.
"This will come really in handy. I mean… if I had an RCA TV"
"Let me explain. Do you think I would travel all this way from Cali to the UK to show you a remote?! This remote is... it's magical! I mean… ok, I used this with Jessica… and... It like teleported us to seaQuest world. One minute we were watching a seaQuest episode… the next, we were in it. Oh let me tell you the ELFY things we did..." Ronica went on to explain the whole master plan she and Jessica had come up with and the fun they had torturing. "Of course we knew it wasn't real… but then... if this is some sort of portal... a remote to open that up, do you not think it can be real?" Ronica looked at the remote and was silent.
"My first reaction would be if you'd been drinking in a pub the night before you came here but... I know you wouldn't have travelled all this way on a made up story like that. Let me take a look at it and tell you what I can find out." Michael went towards his computer desk and took the remote apart. Ronica stood behind him as he went through all the circuits and the whole thing that made up the remote. There was nothing new or nothing special about it. After 30 minutes, nothing had been discovered.
"Sorry Ronica but nothing is special about this. Everything seems in order and in its place." Ronica sighed. "Care to show me this thing in action?" Michael said. A bit eager to see if what Ronica claims it does really happens or if she's really out of her mind.
"I thought you would never ask. But we have to play it safe. With me and Jessica, we almost got caught and stuck in that episode forever. You have the episodes on DVD right?" As Michael nodded, Ronica went towards her bag and pulled out the sheet of paper she had the combination code on. "Ok, put on Daggers. We could stay out of danger that way just long enough to show you how this works." Ronica said as Michael went to get the DVD. He opened his case and pulled out the DVD and popped it into the player. Both Ronica and Michael Failed to notice that the DVD that was pulled out of its case was not the one that belonged in the case.
"Ok, it will play automatically. It is your turn."
"Ok, I have some cash and some pictures of the seaQuest crew. Do you want to bring something?" She asked Michael as he checked if he had his hat on and his wallet. He shook his head no when he remembered something and dashed towards the sofa. He opened his case and placed his DS in his back pocket.
"Michael… that is going to be outdated in the seaQuest time line..."
"Just in case this doesn't work, I don't have to go far to get my DS." Michael said as Ronica rolled her eyes. She heard the theme song start to play and the new season 2 intro started to appear on the screen.
"Ready Capy?"
"Ready Lt." Michael replied as he crossed his arms. Part of him still thought that Ronica was being a bit mental.
Ronica took a deep breath and started to push all the buttons on the remote in the order she had in front of her. At first she thought she didn't do it correctly but then… a cold feeling started to be felt. She knew she was doing it right. She continued to press the buttons and at the very last one, she hit the power button.
"I told you nothing would happen... this is as exciting as a Nintendo 64… you wasted all this time and..." Before Michael could finish his sentence a white light started to surround them. The light soon got brighter and brighter until neither of them could keep their eyes open. As the light faded away, Michael and Ronica started to rub their eyes and look around. Michael was in shock. There were a lot of people around them. Ronica looked a bit confused. Daggers did not have a lot of teenagers around.
"Bloody hell. Am I seeing this right? We are actually not in my living room anymore. Everything feels... real… I… this is incredible!" Michael walked ahead to view his new surroundings. Ronica tried to look where they were at. She turned to see a group of teenagers having their eyes covered and walking. Oh no. Ronica saw the sign behind the teenagers and gasped.
"Chatton parapsychology centre..." She read the sign out loud as she ran to catch up to Michael.
"Michael... this isn't the Daggers episode..." She pointed to the sign. "We need to get out of here..." Ronica started to press the buttons but saw that the battery was very low on the remote. They had to find some batteries before they get discovered in the episode they are now stuck in. The mother of all ELF's. Siamese Dream.
