After learning about an upcoming future and getting transported to another world, Beatrice goes on an adventure to find her way back home and learn more about the future. *This is my first cross-over and this probably fits with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

PS: Here are two links of two songs that are going to be used in the story:

PPS: For those of you have an app called 'AirScratch', a song-editing app that allows you to change the speed and sound of a song when it's playing, I would like you to listen to the 'Immortal' version of Smooth Criminal and I want you to press the minus button sixteen times and start the song around its thirty-three second mark.

…also, the first link takes you to The Cyclone in The Wizard of Oz soundtrack and I want you to start at the five second mark and stop at the thirteen second mark. Don't play those songs until Beatrice says that she begins to hear the songs.)

Beatrice:

"What are you doing?" Penny asked when she saw me and Cressida looking up at the sky.

"We're doing a weather check." Cressida replied.

I continued to look up at the sky and so far, I only found a few clouds and…then, I heard a blaring siren sound and it made me jump.

Penny fell down to her knees in shock and covered her ears, even Cressida covered her ears in shock and surprise.

"WHAT'S HAPPENED?!" Cressida and Penny exclaimed.

Then, I looked at the chimney.

Wrapped around it like lights on a Christmas tree, I saw a satellite with a machine and something that looked like an electronic megaphone. That's Grandpappy's severe weather alarm.

"WHAT'S THAT NOISE, BEATRICE?!" Cressida asked me.

"It's my grandfather's weather alarm!" I replied.

"Why does it have a loud siren?!" Penny exclaimed.

"I have a feeling that there is some severe weather coming up any time today."

"A tornado?" Cressida asked.

"I don't know." I said. "I'm going to climb up the roof and I'll see if there are any signs of an upcoming tornado."

While the alarm continued to make its wailing sound, I ran to the column of the front porch and climbed up. When I came up to a downspout on the edge of the roof, I swung myself up and scurried up the roof like a squirrel.

When I came up to the roof, I grabbed on to it and looked at the sky like a pirate looking for an island.

"Do you see anything?" Cressida called.

"Not yet!" I replied.

Then, I felt this strong, slightly cold wind blowing on my back and I noticed that the day was growing dark.

"Biscuits! What the heck is going on?!" I whispered.

I turned around and looked.

I gasped in horror.

Giant storm clouds were heading towards the house and me, Cressida, and Penny. I heard and felt the wind blow even harder.

Then, lightning struck and the sky was becoming a greenish-blackish color. The wind continued to blow really hard and something under the clouds catches my attention. I gasped in horror.

"A tornado!" I whispered.

I ran off of the roof and jumped when I came to the edge. I grabbed a tree branch and it lowers me to the ground.

After I got on the ground, I exclaimed,

"There's a tornado coming and it looks like an F5!"

"What does that mean?" Cressida asked.

"It's a tornado that's spinning at a dangerous speed and can do incredible damage! We can't stay here and we must go to the storm cellar! Before we go there, we have to go inside and grab some water bottles and boxed and canned foods because…who knows how long the tornado will continue to blow!"

Cressida, Penny, and I ran in to the house and in to the kitchen. We grabbed one patchwork bag for each of us and we ran to the pantry. Cressida grabbed a box of crackers and three bags of potato chips, Penny grabbed three water bottles and six oranges, and I grabbed four water bottles, three apples, and two oranges.

"In the woods, there is a storm cellar." I said to Cressida and Penny. "We have to go there and we'll wait until the tornado goes away."

As soon as we got what we needed, Cressida, Penny, and I ran out of the house and in to the woods.

We're very lucky to escape from the tornado and thank goodness that I saw it coming our way. Cressida, Penny, and I got away in time but I don't know what Grandpappy would do if he found us seriously injured.

The tornado was blowing really hard after Cressida, Penny, and I ran five feet into the woods. Then, Penny stopped running and tried to run back to where we entered.

"PENNY! NO! DON'T GO BACK! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Cressida shouted.

"I forgot my doll!" Penny cried. "I left it in our room!"

"It's too late for that!"

Then, I thought of the most unthinkable and dumb thing that only dummy would do. I was going to go back to the house and get Penny's doll.

"Cressida, you and Penny go to the storm cellar! I'll get the doll!" I exclaimed.

I was about to take off running when Cressida grabbed my right arm and stopped me.

"No, Beatrice! It's too dangerous!" Cressida exclaimed.

"I can get the doll, Cressida! I'm a fast runner and I'll catch up with you as soon as I get it! Keep running until you find something that looks like a door to a basement on your right! Tommy might be coming this way and you'll know him just by his blue and green eyes. Like you, me, and Penny, Tommy can see and talk to Toons and he might have some toon weasels following him! Just go ahead and find the storm cellar! I'll be back with the doll!"

Cressida looked at me with an uneasy look and then, she said,

"Once you make it back, knock on the cellar door five times."

"Okay." I replied.

I took off running with my bag hitting the back of my right leg.

The wind from the tornado continued to blow hard and branches from the trees were breaking off and many types of debris were flying around the woods.

When I arrived at the house, the wind became so strong that I was literally pushed away from the house. But with all of my strength, I pushed myself and sprinted into the house.

I kicked down the door and I ran up the stairs and into the room that Cressida, Penny, and I were sleeping in.

I threw my bag down on the floor and began to look around the room to see if the doll was misplaced somewhere. As I continued to look, the tornado began to sound like it was coming closer and closer by the second.

I looked under the bed and I found something that looked like a dark brown dust bunny. I reached down and grabbed it.

It was Penny's doll!

"FOUND IT!" I exclaimed with joy.

All of the sudden, I heard the wind hit the window but I didn't turn around to see what happened to it. Then, I felt something hard hit me really hard on the back of my head and my right temple.

When I felt the force of getting hit, I imagined the 'Immortal' version of Smooth Criminal playing in my head as my fall felt like it was going in slow motion.

Annie, are you okay?

Will you tell us…that you're okay?

There's a sign in a window,

That he struck you,

A crescendo, Annie!

Then, I landed on the bed with a thud.

As everything was about to go black, a song from The Wizard of Oz began to mix itself with the repetitive "Annie, are you okay" and I began to feel dizzy.

Finally, my world went…black.
