Summary: What do you do when a portal of some type suddenly appears out of thin air? Do you shut your laptop? Do you throw your computer out the window? Or do you jump in the portal without absolutely any thought what so ever? What do I do, you may ask?... Well, you'll just have to read on and find out for yourself.

Flying High

"*sigh* That was good." I said aloud with a toothpick in my mouth, my hands folded on my belly. The Chinese food was delicious, I had Mandrin Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Chow-mein noodles with an egg roll and a big bottle of ice, cold Dr. Pepper. My Mom got us something from 'Chinese Bear Express'.

That, alone, just about stopped me from diving through. 'But,' I thought. 'Would I rather have good food or have the chance to get away and go on a, possibly, awesome adventure?... Of course I would choose the latter'.

"Ah!" I exclaimed. "The Portal" I hadn't checked it in a while, since my mom got back. I got up off of the couch in the living room and rushed upstairs to my room in a panic, 'Is the whirlpool thingy still there?' I wondered, thinking along the way. I looked to my laptop as soon as I got there and sighed in relief.

Yes, the portal was still there. Even after about an hour. It kinda seems like someone wants me to jump through it... 'Nah, couldn't be. Why would anyone want me to jump through a portal for God's sake? Maybe someone's out to get me?' I wondered. Could someone be out to get me? 'Nah, impossible' Somewhere, in my empty head, part of my brain said that portals like this where probably 'impossible', too. But, I ignored it and slouched into my room, my hands in my pocket and my toothpick hanging out my mouth. I felt like a Badass.

"So," I muttered to myself, hoping I was quiet enough. I didn't need my mom interfering with my soon-to-be adventure. "Time to take inventory."

I sat down on my bed, making sure not to move my laptop. I didn't want anything untoward to happen to it, like blowing up or somethin like that. I took my pack and looked through it.

'Giant water bottle, Check'

'Pocket dictionary/Notebook,...' I quickly grabbed that from the dresser in my closet. 'Check' The PD/N, or PDN, was a small Thick notebook that I kept things I found interesting in. Like, Names, Phone Numbers, How Different Things Worked, and many other things. There were, also, many different sketches of different things in it.

'Underwear..., Check'

'Wifebeaters... No Check' "Can't believe I almost forgot those" I rushed back to my closet and pulled out seven of them, Four Gray, One Red, One Navy Blue, and One Purple. I already had my White one on. "Now," I started out loudly and then changed to a whisper. "On with the show."

'Shorts, knee length, Check' "Can't have shorts longer or shorter than that" I mumbled. "Unless they're swimming trunks, then it's okay"

'My Favorite Sweater, Check' Can't leave here without that, It has a tree on it. A TREE. Not a Weed-Tree, but A TREE-Tree. I love my sweater.

'Socks, Check'

'Playing cards... Check'

'Pocket Knife, Check'

'Almost done…' My eye's widened. 'MY GLASSES... THEY AREN'T IN THE CASE' I mentally screamed to myself. I quickly looked once again, inside the case, and they still weren't there, 'Duh' I smacked my forehead. I looked through all of the clothes in my bag and my glasses still weren't there. I looked over to my night stand, nope, I looked around my bed... nope, I got up and ran to my door.

"MOM" I yelled.

"WHAT?" She yelled back.

"HAVE YOU SEEN MY GLASSES!?" I... yelled back.

"ARE THEY ON YOUR FACE?" She responded.

I stopped dead in my tracks for a few seconds and then reached up to the bridge of my nose.

…

…

"NEVER MIND." I shouted to her.

"YOUR WELCOME!" She hollered back, amusedly.

My glasses were on my face the whole time. I felt a bit depressed, then.

"*sigh* Dammit" I said aloud, then. "GOOD NIGHT, MOM." I yelled.

"GOOD NIGHT, SON."

I, once again, sighed. 'Dammit, I'm not an old man yet, I need to stop sighing' I sighed...

I turned around and closed my door. I looked to the pack that was on the floor. I was ready. Finally.

I looked to my laptop screen and the portal that was, luckily, still there. 'Hmmm. Maybe something of substantial mass has to go through there before it closes' I pondered for a small moment. 'I wonder what the energy cost to keep something like that open is, especially for so long?' I sighed, I'll probably never know.

'Well, It's time to go' I thought, My eyes practically radiated with light, I was so excited. I had a stomach full of food and... I almost forgot my Dr. Pepper, I had set it down to put my hands on my belly. I fast walked downstairs and grabbed it before heading to the fridge. I had asked my Mom to grab me a few Grapeade Arizona's. Thank God I remembered those, there was a possible chance of me not being able to come back. So, I grabbed those, all 6 of them, they where in a black lunch box, and I ran upstairs.

'Finally, I have everything. All my drinks, all my clothes, my pocket knife, my glasses, and, lastly,' here I looked next to my pack. 'My old Tenne-Shoes!'

I was Finally ready, I hoped. I put my pack on, with my drink-box? inside, put my shoes on, wiped off my glasses, angled my laptop, I bent my knees- here I thought something was going to interrupt me- and I dived on towards the portal, though, I got a bit stuck and had to wiggle on through. I forgot how small my Laptop screen was.

I looked back once I was going through the portal and saw it close up.

"Hmm. It looks like something of larger, or equivalent, mass had to pierce the portal before it was able to close. That would, also, explain why it did not close up upon the insertion of the napkin." I guessed, probably not correctly, why the portal closed. 'Hm, Better not speculate, for all I know It was programmed to close upon recognition of my bio-signature or aura or somethin crazy like that'

I turned towards where I was heading, instead of where I came from. Suddenly, what looked like a lightning bolt reached out and... just reached out? It was following me for some reason. I looked around. Why did this portal remind me of the area the T.A.R.D.I.S* travels through, it was... the time vortex, or whatever it was.

Then, for absolutely no reason that I could tell, the 'lightning bolt' that had been following me for a, seemingly, small period of time reached out... and hit me in the head.

I felt pain, and a thought ran through my head, before blacking out.

'Damn, I forgot my iPod'

T.A.R.D.I.S: Time And Relative Dimensions In Space, The T.A.R.D.I.S is used by The Doctor in the Television Series called Doctor Who. I suggest watching it, it's awesome.

So, how is it? I know it's not as long as my first chapter, but, whatever. I had this finished the other day, I didn't know how I wanted to do me waking up. If I should have just let Luffy, Coby, or a different character wake me up. I wanted to do something that I haven't read before, and I thought of something perfect... I think. The next chapter may be out within the next few days... hopefully. Oh, I'm going to give myself a power, or two, if you haven't noticed. Please review if you have the time, if you don't that's fine... xD
