I do not own Naruto! Or any of the music in this fanfic! I will do my best to cite my music sources in the end of the chapters in the A/N! I do, however, own the OC's.
I opened my eyes to the bright sun's ray's shining through the window. My fever had broken in the night, and Kabuto had cleaned up Nawaki and sealed him inside a scroll once more. Orochimaru, however, had taken his books back and put a banner in katakana on the wall.
Happy Birthday, pet! Nineteen, and more than able to go back to visit your world, if you so choose. I'll bring the scroll to you later, alongside your other gift. Love, Orochimaru
"Thanks, Snake," I yawned. I chugged down my anti-nausea medicine and got dressed. Four months left in this pregnancy, and I was more than nervous. I had Orochimaru to be at my side, so I told myself I could do this.
"Ready to go?" Orochimaru asked, and I nodded. "Name the town."
"Fayetteville, Arkansas," I said firmly, and we were transported there immediately. To my surprise, we were in the middle of Anime Club – well, in the middle of the announcements, but in the back of the room.
"In other…news…" Kena faded, staring at Orochimaru and me. Mostly at me, I think.
"'In other news' what, Kena?" Jennifer asked, and most of them were back in cosplays.
"She's … pregnant," Kena stared in shock. Orochimaru smirked in amusement and put a hand on my protectively.
"Get ready to see how much these guys are family to me," I whispered. Orochimaru gave me a 'what the hell do you think you're doing' look and I put a hand on his wrist. "Let's just say, they're bound to tackle me to the ground when they find out I'm alive," I murmured quietly below the din of the others' protesting questions. "Just bring their attention to you and see how long it takes them to see me."
"Don't you dare," he whispered back.
"Relax," I murmured, performing my invisibility jutsu. "Just create a diversion so I can get up front."
"It would help you to hear her if you were quiet," Orochimaru said loudly. Heads swerved back, and I smirked as I walked up calmly to the front of the room. I stood beside Kena, and tugged on her shirt playfully.
"My Kami, she wasn't lying," Kena said shocked. "Is she – oh, never mind," Kena laughed as she felt me tug harder on her shirt.
"Kena, how the hell did Orochimaru get in here?" Arron asked loudly.
"Why don't we ask Sarah?" Kena asked, and the others panicked.
"Drop the jutsu, Sarah-chan," Orochimaru laughed, and I dropped it immediately. Screams issued from most of the girls, and the males yelled in shock as some of them saw that I was pregnant.
"What the hell happened to you? You look like a car wreck!" Bradley said shocked and worried. Katlynn raced up to get to me, but I put a stop to it by stepping out from behind the podium.
"Holy – you're the one pregnant? How?" Mac yelled in shock.
"Let's not to go into details," Orochimaru said with authority as he appeared behind me, putting a hand on my stomach to prove his point. "All you need to know is that I married her before I impregnated her."
"Holy – Renate, you lucky-! That's not fair," Jennifer cried as she came up to hug me. I pulled away from Orochimaru to give her a side hug, and Katie, Arron, Bradley, and Kena followed in suit.
"Life isn't fair, child," Orochimaru mocked cruelly, pulling me back once more and into a deep kiss.
"How did you get to the front without us seeing you?" Katie asked.
"Isn't that obvious? She used an Invisibility jutsu. Created by her, of course," Orochimaru said, giving credit where credit was due.
"Wait, you created jutsu, Renate? Why? How?" Kena asked, and I explained to them how I'd been going through the zodiac signs and got stuck on one, and then discovered that I was invisible.
"Wait, who's on desk duty?" I asked Kena, and she laughed.
"Hotspur," she answered, and I grinned evilly. "Oh, dear. I don't like the look on your face, Renate-chan. What are you thinking?"
"Orochimaru-kun, is there a time limit on your teleportation scroll? Because if not, then I'm going to have some fun before we go home!" I grinned, and he smirked. "Yes, fun, as in the kind you would like, too."
"Good. But perhaps we should answer a few more questions – it seems one of the others looks like she's about to yell at you," he chuckled, and I looked to find that Zoe, Jazmin, and Makayla walked in.
"I ended in the Naruto world on accident, married Orochimaru, and basically became his spy," I summed up for them. "Spy for new jutsu, that is. Not like Kabuto at all."
"No, I've got much better uses for you, pet," he purred loudly, making me shiver. "How often must I tell you that you're never getting a curse mark?"
"Twenty nine times, last I checked," I chirped, and he shook his head.
"Wait, you're carrying Orochimaru's child?" Zoe asked, and I nodded warily.
"I'll bet you two are more than just loving that, aren't you?" Makayla snickered, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn – I mean dang – right we do," Orochimaru sneered, correcting his mistake as he caught Kena's and my evil eyes. "Perhaps we should go play that prank, no?"
"Yes," I grinned evilly, and walked off to find Hotspur. I performed the invisibility jutsu once more, and walked out of the club to find Hotspur at the children's desk with Shay.
"I miss Renate," Shay said sadly.
"Yeah, I do too. I wish she were here so we could sing happy birthday," Hotspur agreed. I began typing behind him in a blur, and he chuckled. "Speak of the devil – I think she's visiting in her sleep again."
"Think again," I grinned, and the two practically jumped out of their skins.
"Sarah? Renate? Where are you? How – how?" Hotspur stammered, while Shay kept looking around wide eyed.
"Even I can't see her," Orochimaru soothed, but this only made Hotspur all the more scared. "Hm… I think it's time to drop the jutsu, Sarah-chan. We don't want any harm coming, neh?"
"Hai, Orochimaru-kun," I laughed, and released the jutsu (Orochimaru figured out how to do that). "Hey, guys. Told you I'd be back."
"You're alive!" they breathed and took me into side hugs.
"Whoa, easy, guys," I murmured, stumbling backwards.
"Careful," they laughed as they reached out to catch me, but Orochimaru beat them to it. "Who are you?"
"Orochimaru of the Sannin, off of the show you would call Naruto, and husband of Sarah-chan, here," he introduced swiftly. "And father of her unborn child."
"Wow! Congratulations," they said eagerly. "How much longer?"
"About Christmas, somewhere in there," I grinned sheepishly. "I hope he or she is born in the year of the Snake."
"We should probably get going since it's night-time here," Orochimaru said, and frowned.
"Do I have to go visit them?" I whined, and he laughed.
"Whatever happened to missing your family?" he teased.
"I'm scared – what if they try to hurt you or the baby?" I fretted.
"Then I'll kill them," he said simply. "The law will have no hold since it would be self-defense. Besides that, weren't you worrying about Phantasm?"
"Oh, yeah, I need to get Phantasm to evolve before we leave here! Oops, I completely forgot!" I laughed.
"We will see you again, I'm sure," Orochimaru purred as he threw the scroll down on the ground, and it let out a puff of smoke. We were back in our island hideout, but I was contemplating where to go next.
"I wonder what my clan is doing now," I thought aloud, and Orochimaru grinned.
"I was wondering when you would ask that," he purred, and then went to get a mirror. "This will show you what they're doing, but only for you if you channel your chakra into it. Say the name, and you'll see them. Happy Birthday," he grinned.
The mirror was beautiful – it was two large snakes intertwined around the mirror itself, which was in an egg shape. It was gold, and the two snakes' heads met at the top, and their tails at the bottom to create the small hole for a string or rope.
"It's beautiful," I murmured. "Thank you so much!" I breathed and flung myself on him.
"I'm glad you like it," he purred. "I can use it as well. Show me the Denning clan that raised Sarah!"
The mirror glowed purple, and the mirror showed me the birthday party that was thrown every year for the children with the August birthdays. Kendon, one of my cousins with an August birthday, was opening presents, and there was another pile of presents that people kept glancing backwards towards. They were having a Hawaiian Luau party in the night and were using bug repelling fans & scents.
"I can't believe it! What if Sarah's alive? How is that even possible! She would have found a way back by now, right?" Bobbie asked, and I grinned. Ever the little spoiled brat on this party date. She always thought it was her party and hers alone.
"Bobbie, quit being such a bitch! This is just as much Sarah's party as it is yours!" Chrissie argued, and I grinned and laughed. "There're five people with August birthdays, you're not the only one! Now shut up and quit whining while Kendon opens his presents!"
"Guys, think about it – if she's alive, then it's only fair to get her some presents as well. I just can't believe she would disappear like that… it's so unlike her," Joseph said sadly.
"Shall I make my grand entrance?" I asked, and he nodded. "Boone Clan Birthday Party for the August Birthdays in Conway, Arkansas," I said firmly, and we were teleported to the party, alright – right on top of the pool.
Kendon screamed as he left the birthday chair, staring at me in horror and shock.
"Hello, Boones," I greeted mockingly, and their heads all turned in shock.
"Sarah! You're alive!"
"I knew you weren't dead!"
"I told you I wasn't lying!" I heard Joe yell.
"How the heck is she on the water?" one of them asked, and they all shut up as Orochimaru summoned a giant serpent.
"To answer your questions, - in order – I'm alive because I was transported to another world, not killed. I'm walking on water because I was transported to the Naruto world, and spent four days learning how to channel my chakra to enable me to do so – See Naruto Volume Ten page one-sixty-eight for details. As for Orochimaru-kun behind me – I married him, and it was his scroll that transported us here. As for the rest – well, I'm sure most of you can put two and two together," I summed up.
"You married Orochimaru? You geek!" Sam yelled before busting up laughing.
"Ha-ha, very funny," I retorted. "At least I'm married! You're not even dating yet, and I'm four years younger than you!"
"Well played," Orochimaru whispered, and I whispered a thanks.
"So, this… um…" Chrissie began, trying to strike up conversation.
"O-ro-chi-ma-ru," I pronounced slowly for them. "Yes, he's beside me. Speaking of which, we should probably get on dry ground before I make myself pass out again from overuse of chakra."
"Suit yourself," he chuckled and picked me up bridal style to carry me to the ladder in the deep end. I sat down on the slab of concrete, not in the least bit comfortable.
"Why did you marry him? He's a mass murderer!" my mother yelled angrily. Oh, dear – that little snag I didn't think she'd catch onto. From what I'd gathered, she'd been doing her research on him from the first few volumes he was featured in.
"Well, we all do many things to get what we want. I take in orphans and shinobi whose lives have become null and void, and give them a reason to live when they ask me to. Namely, give them something to work on and use them in experiments – with their permission of course, since they tell me that they'll do literally anything – and then if they die, then that's not my fault. Sarah was the first one to have conditions as to joining, and even then they were minimal. All she asked was that she wouldn't get used in an experiment," Orochimaru laughed.
"You sadistic maniac! I'm tempted to run your car off the road!" Sam yelled, and I squealed in fear.
"Sarah – Hime, what's wrong? What happened?" Orochimaru asked, immediately at my side.
"No – no – gas pedal evil – gas pedal not my friend – gas pedal not my friend – mustn't look out side window – must wear seat belt – must clutch seat belt tightly," I began sobbing.
"What. Did. You. Do?" Orochimaru growled angrily, his chakra flaring up with more bloodlust than I'd ever felt before. "Pet, is this the wreck you were telling me about?" he whispered, and I nodded. I watched as he used this sudden burst of chakra to seal the presents inside a scroll. Well, most of them anyways.
"She was screaming bloody murder for the entire hour that we waited for the paramedics and the cops to arrive," Sam defended. "She even cussed at me for the first time, and I'd never heard her cuss before! She also kept screaming about how I destroyed her car, and was scrambling to get everything in order after the wreck and picking things up like an OCD person. She was also fishing around for her IPod."
"You got what you deserved! You should have gone to jail for that you idiot! You could have killed me!" I screamed at him, and the life inside me kicked for the first time. I squealed, and my hands immediately jumped to my swollen abdomen as Orochimaru quickly pushed the scroll inside his kunai pouch.
"Is he alright?" Orochimaru whispered, and I stared forward in shock.
"Kicked. It kicked," I told him as I looked into his eyes. He moved behind me before he'd even asked the question and put his arms around me, one hand protectively on my stomach, the other around the Kusanagi that he'd withdrawn in a moment's notice. "The baby kicked."
"Let's not panic and scare the baby again, ne?" he teased, and I nodded sheepishly as he stepped out from behind me.
"Sarah? I'm sorry I wrecked your car," Sam said nervously eyeing the Kusanagi sword Orochimaru held.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you," Bobbie added. It was about time she said that – although she still needed to lose a lot of weight. She was fatter than I was at virgin of fourteen years, and I was pregnant! Maybe she should be forced into the ninja world – it would do her some good.
"We're sorry we never listened to you," my dad added.
"Carl still asks if you're alive," Sam added as an afterthought. "And he … never mind."
"Tell him Sarah's spoken for," Cassy said like it was obvious, staring at a suddenly jealous Orochimaru.
"Guys! I get it – you're sorry for all the wrongs you've done! Now, where exactly is Carl? I want to scare the crap out of him," I grinned, and Orochimaru moved protectively over me once more.
"Um… probably his house," Cassy said warily, and I grinned.
"I somewhat remember how to get there. Rabbit, or no?" I asked Orochimaru, and he smirked as he performed the hand signs. "I'll let you do it then."
"If I ever hear her whining about you again, you might not live to regret it," Orochimaru growled as he picked me up. I was tempted to smack him, but thought wiser since I was in his arms.
"We'll be back as soon as we're done kicking Carl's butt bowling!" I promised.
He raced off, and I thought about where Carl lived. After a few wrong turns, we finally got to his house. I grinned, and sheepishly knocked on the door. Carl's mom answered it, confused, and then asked who did what this time.
"Is Carl home?" Orochimaru asked, and I squeezed his wrist in warning.
"He's just a classmate; nothing more," I assured Orochimaru as the woman went to retrieve her son.
"Hell – Sarah! You're alive! And … dating?" Carl asked confused, and I shook my head.
"Carl, this is Orochimaru, my husband. Orochimaru, this is Carl, my classmate from Comp I class. Speaking of which, how'd our teachers react to my disappearing?" I asked, and Carl shook his head in astonishment.
"You're pregnant," he said dumbfounded. "Oh, sorry, sorry – come on in, make yourselves at home," Carl invited opening the door.
"That doesn't mean you attack people, Orochimaru. Kusanagi away," I hissed, and he sheathed it in his mouth. "Thank you."
"Sarah! Whoa – did Carl do that?" his sisters asked, and Orochimaru leered and held me protectively. "I'll take that as a no."
"Go play Barbie's or something," Carl said shooing his sisters off. "Sorry about them. What's up? Where'd you go off to? And how did you get a Naruto character for a husband?"
"Um, freak accident that landed me in the Naruto world, I intervened before the Sannin Showdown, and basically met up with him afterwards and we hit it off from there. A month later we were married, I was pregnant within the month," I summed up.
"N-nice! Congrats," he said sincerely. A clock chimed, and Orochimaru jumped at the sudden noise, glancing around for its source.
"It's a clock, Orochimaru-kun. It does that once an hour," I laughed mockingly.
"Bitch," he muttered under his breath, and I barely caught it.
"Touché," I murmured in reply. "Thanks, Carl. Find anyone else to date?"
"Uh… no…" he said simply. I grinned.
"The bowling alley's still open, right? Well, me and Orochimaru versus you and your clan," I smirked.
"Oh, rematch, huh? It's on!" Carl laughed.
"Ah, ah, ah," I teased. "I won by a landslide last time!"
"You had bumpers last time!" he retorted. Okay, I'll give him that one. But I was better now. Way better.
"Okay, then. Race you to the bowling alley. Last one there pays for it," I grinned, and he rallied his clan together and headed out to the car. "Oh, we'll be going on foot. We'll see who gets there first."
"Ready," Orochimaru laughed, and Carl began backing out of the driveway. He revved the engine as Orochimaru picked me up bridal style, and the race began.
I watched Orochimaru weave through traffic like a bullet, following the highway. We'd left Carl in our dust a long time ago, and I was now giving him directions to the Bowling Alley.
"Take a left!"I said suddenly, and he veered left. After racing alongside the road on the sidewalk (nobody saw us b/c we were too fast), he veered and I gave him more instructions. "Left! Straight! Straight! There – off to your left!"
He turned gracefully into the parking lot, covered in sweat from the evening's heat and mugginess, and slowed down while stopping the jutsu. After about two minutes we headed inside into the cooler building, and sat down to let him rest. About ten minutes later, once Orochimaru had caught his breath, I grinned as Carl came in with his clan.
"Ready to get squashed again?" I teased, and their jaws dropped.
"You – how?" he asked, and I grinned.
"We've got our ways. A ninja never reveals their secrets," I replied mystically. "No bumpers, either," I grinned.
"What? You kept pressuring me to use them last time!" Carl objected, and I laughed.
"We won, so we make up the rules. No bumpers and you're paying," I taunted in a sing-song voice.
Once we were all ready, it was my turn to go first. We had the lane for the game, and I grinned. I was so going to cream him again! Sure enough, the first turn to bowl I got a spare by one pin. Carl missed one pin (the middle back one), Orochimaru got a strike, and Carl's sisters got spares as well, while his parents got strikes. Orochimaru didn't miss a turn at all, and rolled constant strikes, and I soon managed to follow in suit after two more spares. Carl kept missing one or two pins, with the occasional spare or strike. His sister was in between him and me, and wasn't doing too bad. His parents were hitting all strikes and spares – not bad. I was wearing out, though, and took a chakra pill covered in a small snack for some energy.
At the end of it all, I ended up with two hundred points – a new record for me – and Orochimaru ended up with a few more hundreds since he kept getting all strikes. Carl and his sister had the same as me, and they stared in shock as Orochimaru kept bowling and wiping the floor with the records. Finally, the store owner came over and asked which one of us knew Orochimaru, and I grinned like a canary that's just eaten a very large bird.
"He's broken all records we've ever held," the man said shocked as Orochimaru hit the eight hundred mark after his thirty-fifth strike in a row. If someone didn't stop him, he'd break the record so bad that nobody would ever be able to break it again.
"Yeah, that's my Orochi for you. What's up?" I asked the manager.
"Can you get him to stop? He's broken all records and we want to keep our records breakable…" the man said quietly. "We'll do anything! Just stop him! I don't care if he paid for endless bowling until he doesn't get a strike – get him to stop!"
"Ne, Orochimaru-kun, shouldn't we get back to the party?" I asked, and he licked his lips. "Dad gum, ninja bowling much?"
"I want to see how many strikes I can get in a row. It's fun to watch the destruction of these pins," he grinned as he threw the ball down and ended up breaking one of the pins. "I told the man to give me endless rounds. I intend to get my money's worth!"
"Okay, you broke one of the pins – which has never been done before, mind you – and broken all records. Let's go, before we get in too much trouble!" I squealed, and everyone stared at our lane numbers.
"Are you daft? I'm having fun!" he grinned, and I shook my head and stalked off. "Get back here, woman, or you won't get any jutsu for a month!"
I dashed back madly, knowing he'd go through with it. I watched as he hit nine hundred, and then missed the strike by one pin.
"Damn it!" he said as he stomped his foot. Ooh, he was raging. Still, he'd gotten most of his rage out bowling, so I figured this was something we needed to set up for ourselves later. Well, once I had the baby anyways. Maybe motherhood was a good thing, after all.
"Let's go! The party's probably over!" I said as I dragged him away. The manager came back out, blushing embarrassedly in shock and embarrassment, and carrying something under his arm.
"Thank you for bowling with us tonight, sir. Um… you're the first person to break the record in a long time," he said honestly. "Nobody was ever able to get over seven hundred twenty. How did you do it?"
"Aim and endurance," Orochimaru said bored. "Consolation prize?"
"Ah, yes," the manager said nervously. "You may keep the bowling ball if you wish." Orochimaru stared at him like he was an idiot. "Um… is there something different you'd like?"
"Do you have a sword?" Orochimaru asked, and the man shook his head, terrified. "Well, then, no. Sarah, why don't you pick something?"
I hesitated, not knowing what to get. "What are all my options if I live out of town?"
"Um… we have …um… endless bowling? Lifetime passes to any and all bowling alleys in the United States?" he guessed, and we shook our heads. "Okay, we do have one more thing available, but… it's usually forbidden…"
"Well?" Orochimaru said stamping his foot impatiently.
"It's – well, it was supposed to go with animal control, but they refuse to come get it… it's a Python…" he said slowly, and Orochimaru and my ears perked up.
"We'll take it!" I said quickly, and the man dashed into the back room and brought out a bucket. "Wow, an honest to goodness wild python!"
"Otaku," Orochimaru chuckled, and I glared at him for a few seconds, and then went back to staring at the python.
"So, um, do you want a ride to your house?" Carl asked kindly, and I shook my head.
"We've got it, thanks," I said gently as Orochimaru put our scroll down on the parking lot asphalt. "Home!" I said quickly, and it teleported us back to our bedroom. Orochimaru put the scroll down on his desk, and the new python in a small box. I grinned widely at how it wasn't even noon here yet, and put the scroll back down on the floor of our bedroom.
"That was interesting," Orochimaru said bored. "Your friend wasn't much competition, though."
"Joshua Spann," I said quickly as I placed the scroll back on the floor. We were yanked back to the birthday party, and I suddenly realized that he had finally snapped.
"Where is she? Where is Sarah?" I heard Josh yelling angrily. I held my hand up to Orochimaru, grinning.
"It's my turn," I told him quickly. "Should we take him and Bobbie back to Otogakure, or not?"
"No," he whispered. "It's a waste of time trying to train them. Bobbie might be able to carry Jirobo's child, though. Is she pregnant?"
I snickered. "No," I whispered, stifling another snicker. "Watch me work. I want to show you how much I've grown."
"Fine – but make sure that we can hide the body without the faintest trace," he growled quietly. I grinned as he went home, leaving me with the scroll.
I created a water bunshin, and Josh fell for the perfect blunder. I grinned and watched the water bunshin lure him away from the clan that had raised and turned its back on me for so long. More and more water bunshins appeared as I hid in the nook that was the side yard beside Michelle's old house.
"Damn it, bitch! Show yourself before I kill everyone in your family!" he yelled, and I froze in my tracks. I used the water whip jutsu, restraining him and taking the gun out of his hand. He was now paralyzed, so he couldn't fight when one of my water bunshins pulled the gun out with her own water whip.
"Only a coward takes a hostage!" I sneered along with my bunshins. I dispersed them once they were on the water. The gun was now sinking to the bottom of the deep end of the pool.
"Come out, you bitch!" he yelled angrily.
"I go to movie premiers – see my moves in the anime! Living two lives is a little weird…yeah. But school's cool, cause nobody knows! Yeah I get to be a small town girl, but big time when I use my hand signs – I've got the best of both worlds! Chilling out, take it slow – then I rock out their show! I've got the best of both worlds!" I sang loudly, and he turned on me. "The best part is that I get to be whoever I want to be! Who would have thought that a girl like me would double as an otonin? I've got the best of both worlds! I've got the best of both worlds! Chilling out, take it slow – then I rock out their show! I've got the best of both worlds! Without the shades and the hair, I can go anywhere!"
"Shut up!" he yelled out angrily. I found my old ipod, used an amplification jutsu, and turned it onto the Gremlin's Theme.
"You never can tell – there just might be a Gremlin in your house," I grinned evilly and let the addicting song run its course. I used jutsu and began using genjutsu to confuse him. I'd have done better, but I didn't want to risk my child's safety.
"nananananaaanananananaaaaa!" I started singing alongside, and then my bunshins and I started cackling with the Gremlins at the end of the song as I tied him up.
"You useless bitch!" he yelled angrily as he went to attack me, but was stopped as a shadow came out to paralyze him.
"Shikamaru-san!" I said in alarm as I watched Shikamaru stumble out of the underbrush. "How'd you get here?"
"How should I know? This is such a drag. We should turn him in to this world's ANBU," he said simply before yawning loudly.
"Nah, I've got something much better in mind for him," I grinned, and I pushed him back through the portal. "See you on the other side, Shikamaru-san," I said before pushing him through back to Konoha where he could report to Tsunade.
"Sarah, wait! What's going to happen to him?" Bobbie asked worried, and I grinned.
"You're welcome to join me if you'd like to know," I invited. "I can assure you nobody will be experimented upon unless they try to kill me or my unborn child."
"Wait, you're pregnant?" Chrissie, Cassy, and most of the others just now realized.
"I've been pregnant for five months," I said matter-of-factly, my tone asking whether or not they had brains. "And married for five months and one week."
"Oh my gosh!" Chrissy and Cassy gushed excitedly. "Boy or girl?"
"What does it matter? The clothes are the same either way for the first few weeks," I said shrugging. "I don't care, but I'm not sure about Orochimaru-kun. He'll probably want a boy so he can have an heir."
"How can you not care what gender you're going to have?" they asked dumbfounded, and I rolled my eyes.
"I love my husband, and it doesn't matter whether our baby is a boy or a girl – I'll love him or her just the same," I said patting my stomach as the small life inside me kicked once more. "Feels like someone wants to go back near daddy. I'd better go – I don't want to risk anything. I love you guys," I said as I waved at them as the scroll unraveled itself.
"Sarah wait!" Sam yelled and raced forward.
"Home!" I said quickly, and it teleported me home alongside itself.
