Bobby's Perspective - Second Earth
Bobby rushed to get home. He quickly left the Sherwood house, and drove back home. When he entered the house, Courtney looked at him from the kitchen. She looked pissed.
"Where have you been?" she asked with anger in her eyes.
At first, Bobby was confused, but then he realized the flume must've dumped him in a later time than when he left.
"It's nearly five o'clock! You've been gone for hours!" Courtney yelled.
"I'm sorry! Mark needed help with something and I must have lost track of time," Bobby lied, "it won't happen again, I promise."
"Damn right it won't," Courtney said. She took a deep breath and said, "could you tell Junior dinner's ready?"
"Sure thing," Bobby replied as he headed to his son's room. Junior was in seventh grade, and he could care less about school. He was one of those "cool" kids that wasn't cool. He had long, messy, black hair. When Bobby entered Junior's room, he was scrolling mindlessly on his phone.
"Dinner's ready, Sport," Bobby said to his son.
"Don't call me Sport," Junior replied as he stood up from his bed.
"Watch it, young man," Bobby said in response to Junior's remark.
Bobby and Junior headed to the table where Courtney had put out a large bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. The family ate their dinner with delight. After dinner, Junior retreated to his room while Courtney sat down to watch a show. Bobby had suddenly remembered his mission. He had to recruit Junior. He headed to Junior's room. He was texting away on his phone.
"Hey Junior, can you help me with something?" Bobby asked his son.
"What do you need?" Junior asked with a bit of annoyance.
"Come with me," Bobby replied, "some people need your help."
Junior got up and the two of then headed to the living room.
"I'm taking Junior somewhere, Courtney," Bobby informed his wife, "We'll be back in a bit."
"You better be," Courtney said.
Bobby and Junior exited the house and headed toward the Sherwood house.
"Is this gonna take long?" Junior complained.
"Relax, you big baby," Bobby said, "alright. We're gonna have to sneak in. How are you with climbing?"
"I could try," Junior said with confusion, and he started climbing the fence to the house. Bobby cringed as he watched his son struggle to climb the fence. It ended with Junior falling face first in the yard of the house. Bobby climbed over, and the two of them entered the house.
"Follow me," Bobby said as he headed toward the basement that housed the flume.
"What's that?" Junior asked.
Just as Bobby was about to answer, the flume activated, shooting bright lights and music all over the basement.
"What the hell is going on?" Junior shouted as he shielded his eyes from the light.
After the flume's lights and sounds subsided, Bobby noticed a person lying at the mouth of the flume. the person looked severely injured. Bobby then realized it was Aja Killian, Traveler from Veelox.
"Aja!" Bobby shouted as he rushed to his fellow Traveler. As he examined her wounds, he noticed she had a huge gash down her side. He held his hand over the wound and closed his eyes. He felt the familiar feeling as he healed her wound. He took his hands off to see the gash had disappeared. Aja would be okay.
"What happened?" Bobby asked. Aja slowly sat up.
"This new territory," she began, "it's full of evil."
"Can someone please explain what the hell just happened?" Junior shouted suddenly.
"We should get back to the territory," Aja said as she stood up.
"Okay. Hyrule, right?" Bobby said.
"Yes"
"Then off we go. Junior, come here," Bobby said.
Junior reluctantly followed his father's orders.
"Hyrule!"
Just like that, the flume activated, taking the three of them to this new territory. Aja felt confident, for she had already been there. Bobby felt slightly excited. There was a whole new territory to explore. Junior was too terrified at what the flume was doing to feel anything. Eventually, gravity came back from its coffee break, dumping the trio on the new territory.
"And so we go," said Bobby.
