Hey Guys, here's Chapter Twelve . Enjoy and sorry it came so late!
Back and Forth
"Katie, wake up!" Yells her mom from downstairs.
"Fine," she growls quietly.
Katie gets up and gets ready for another day of school. School is not boring it's just...exhausting after awhile. After all she is an above average student. Eight periods full of Advanced Placement, Honors, and College courses is on her schedule. Katie isn't number one in her class but she is in the top ten. Her only distraction from making the top is her love of art. Katie loves to paint and draw.
"Katie, you're going to miss the bus!" Her mom shouts again.
"I'm coming!" She yells and then races out the door.
It was supposed to be a regular school day. A green penguin muttered. How am I supposed to get back now? Three other penguins sit beside her. They didn't look as confused as she was. I didn't even recognize this place!
"Where am I?"
"You're in Club Penguin," one of the penguins in charge says.
The green penguin returns her gaze at the penguin, startled. I didn't mean to talk out loud. Oops...wait a minute...Club Penguin? That little kids game I use to play back in elementary?! Impossible no! I must be dreaming. Yeah...I was in the computer lab doing some research and then...I must have fallen asleep. The green penguin starts to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Asks one of the penguins beside her.
"I'm dreaming!" She exclaims.
The penguins pauses for a moment in thought.
"Maybe we are...but...what's your name?" He asks.
"What?"
"What's your name in the real world?"
"Um...Katie White."
The penguin blinks in surprise.
"Mason Park Public High School?" He questions.
"...yeah?" She answers, "how did you..."
"I didn't know you played Club Penguin! I'm Terrance Maxwell." He introduces.
The penguins in charge quietly watch as the penguins are talking.
"Who?" The green penguin asks, "I don't know anyone by that name and I haven't played Club Penguin since I was ten!"
"Oh that really hurt" the penguin fakes a sad look. "You got me right in the heart!"
"Uh..."
"Then again you didn't bother to look up when you walk through the halls or in your art class."
"What?"
The penguin shook his head.
"No...I'm sorry but...I really don't think we're dreaming."
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* *groans *
Terrance rolls over and picks up his phone. It's five in the morning. Unknown number. He didn't have to unlock his phone to see the text notification.
Dude, get ready for something awesome to happen today!
Yeah right, weirdo. Terrance fell back to sleep.
Three hours later...
"Ahhh! I'm late for school!"
Terrance throws on some clothes, grabs a piece of toast, and runs out the door. When Terrance got to school, he ran up to the main office.
"Uh...what period is this?" He asks the people in the office.
"It's fourth period."
Nice...Mr. Peterson is going to be so mad at me. Terrance shakes his head then heads off to economics class. As predicted, he is scolded by Mr. Peterson for being late. Going to his seat, Terrance sneakily starts to log onto Club Penguin.
And then I must have fallen asleep at some point. Then I woke up connected to some type of machine. I saw penguins standing around me. Tyler acknowledges. I remember seeing penguins with weapons. They unhooked us from the machines, while fighting off some other penguins. The I found myself here in this cave.
"So Club Penguin is real?" the Penguin asks, "it's active even after I've logged out?"
The penguin looks around, a little stunned.
"Okay if you're EPF agents then...are you guys fighting Herbert right now?"
"No we're fighting TAG" snaps one of the penguins in charge.
"Chip, you don't need to be mean!" Insists another agent.
Chip mumbles something under his breath and then walks away from the group.
"Um...did I do something wrong?" The penguin asks.
"No it wasn't you." The penguin replies. "He's just mad because he wasn't the one to go to the other world...oops!"
"What?" Tyler asks.
"Nice job, Linsey" Chip congratulates, sarcastically.
Linsey looks at him and is about to yell at him but decides not to. Tyler looks at the group of unorganized EPF agents. He notices that one of the agents wearing nigh vision goggles, is cautiously staring back at him. Mark that, the penguin was studying one penguin particular. The penguin wearing a red bandana. I wonder why that is.
"Can we go back?" The female agent besides him asks. "Home?"
"Yeah, this is crazy!" Katie remarks.
"Sorry" replies one of the EPF agents. "We really don't know."
"Enough talk," explains the leader of the group. "It's time we plan our next move."
The penguin takes something out of his jacket. A photo of Club Penguin. One taken by some puffles on the tallest mountain. The picture didn't belong to him but he was sure to put it to good use.
Well, that was cool seeing some of the penguins real lives. How are they going to get home? What is this plan? What's going to happen next? Find out November 27th.
