Hey everyone! Lucky, lucky you, I got 3 reviews!

Well, really it was four, but two were from Kass- I mean, KKLSBones.

Not Kass, she doesn't exist.

Nope.

Ahem. anyway, here's that extra long chapter I promised you!

Any questions, comments, or concerns go-as always- in the review box.

And cookies, Kass needs her cookies.

(That's what I pay her with...)

If you don't remember this "Kass" of which I speak, she finally gets a scene at the end of this chapter.

Woot. Woot. go Kass. Yay.

So enthused.

Ah, get on with it already! you don't have to read my rants.


When I woke up the next morning, I was covered in a cold sweat.

I'd apparently had nightmares all night, and let me tell you, I was extremely happy that I didn't remember any of them.

I groaned and rolled out of bed, grateful that it was Saturday… and then I remembered.

Two days.

That's all I've got.

Two.

Stinking.

Days.

My life…is so… something. I don't know whether to call it horrible or awesome.

I mean seriously, I get tossed into different universes- most of which are TV shows or movies- I somehow end up becoming a new main character, and there's a government agency from my universe tracking my every move! Oh, I haven't mentioned that part yet? It'll become important soon enough. At any rate, how is someone -namely me- supposed to act under these conditions?!

'Like a hero' a small voice whispered from deep within my mind.

I rolled my eyes.

It's when you hear your innermost thoughts that you realize how cheesy you really are.

I bit my lip as I picked out an outfit from my pile; today I selected a pair of green cargo pants, a brown tank top, and a matching green cardigan to go over the top. I pulled on my combat boots and headed down the stairs.

Aunt May looked up as I entered the kitchen, snowy white locks falling over her eyes as she smiled and bid me good morning.

I have to be honest, I'm partial to this universe's Aunt may- She's kind and sweet like the original, but she's also tough and can stand on her own...but maybe it's just because she actually is like an aunt to me. I snatched up a piece of toast and headed towards the front door.

"Hold on Linzy, where do you think you're going so early in the morning?" the woman asked, hands on her hips.

"uh…the library?" Her eyebrow rose very similarly to someone else I know...

"Is the library open at this time of day?"

I shrugged.

"I don't know Aunt May, I assumed it was. Can I go now?" She tisked and rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I suppose so. Hey, I know! Why don't you ask Peter to go with you?"

A large yawn followed from the other side of the room.

"The library? Sounds good… let me go get dressed and grab something to eat first, ok?" I face-palmed as Peter walked out of the room.

All I wanted was some time to myself!

…at this rate I'll never get the opportunity to figure out what I'm going to do about Monday…

Peter strode down the sidewalk besides me, his arms swinging as he walked. "… You weren't really planning to go to the library, were you?" I blinked. Sometimes I forget how smart Peter really is.

"What makes you say that?" I asked, biting my lip.

"Well, for one, the only library within walking distance is the school's… and that's not open on the weekends. Also, I can just tell." I rolled my eyes. "Sure you can, Peter. If you knew all that, what did you come along for?" He ran his fingers through his hair and just smiled.

"…you are really annoying, you know that right?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

"It's a gift."

I snorted.

"Whatever."

We continued walking in silence for a while.

"Well, if you really have nothing better planned, why don't we head over to Harry's? He always has stuff for us to do." I sighed, and then shrugged my shoulders in defeat. "Sure, why not?"


We spent the rest of the day playing an 4 hour long game of high-tech chess between Harry and I (Harry won, but we were tied the first 30 minuets!) Watching movies (Astro boy!), switching opponents for another game of chess (I won this time, but I think Peter let me…), then the boys watched horror movies whilst I made my way through the labyrinth of corridors that Harry calls his home.

I smiled when I found what I was looking for; I knew a house this big had to have a library!

Most of the books on the impeccable, dust-free shelves were of a non-interesting variety to a fiction lover such as myself, but I managed to keep busy by scanning titles and reading overviews of the more promising tomes. Hours later, well after dark, I found myself yawning over a stack of books- ones I already finished.

'It seems I haven't been reading enough lately,' I thought dully, my eyes drooping. 'I really went to town on those books. I only do that when I've been deprived…' I yawned again and forced myself to my feet. 'It's getting pretty late, I should probably call aunt May and tell her we're still alive…' I blinked, then rubbed my arms to try and stimulate some blood flow. 'At this rate it's a miracle I haven't fallen asleep yet!' With this thought I emerged into the living room only to find my companions in exactly that state. I spared a moment for another face-palm.

"…Of course."

I took a deep breath and gently woke my beloved cousin.

…and by gently I mean shaking the couch back and forth while yelling in his ear.

" PETER! PETER! You didn't by any chance fall asleep hours ago and forget to call Aunt May, did you?!" his eyes opened groggily, then he snapped wide awake when he understood what I was saying. "…what time is it?!" He glanced at the clock by the t.v. "AWW MAN! Linzy, we've got to call Aunt May!" I rolled my eyes. "Well no dur Sherlock!" At that very moment we heard a chuckle from behind.

"I wouldn't worry so much about it, I called your aunt and she said all's well. I'll just get a limo to send you home; after all, we're family, aren't we?"

I stared in astonishment.

…Was he there a second ago?

…That's kinda creepy…

"Wow, thanks Mr. Osborne; you didn't have to do that for us!"

…Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

This is back before Peter had any reason to distrust Osborne… I better play along.

"Yes, thank you sir. I really appreciate it."

3rd person pov

A figure clad in dark blue watched from the shadows as Linzy exited the Osborne home, dragging peter by the arm.

"Come on, I know you're tired but at least pick up your feet!" He smiled and started to snore, dragging his feet even more so.

"Really cuz?! I don't have to carry you, you know!" with that she released her hold and let him fall to the concrete as she got into the awaiting limo.

Peter rubbed his head, still smiling, as he rose to his feet and followed suit.

The limo pulled away a moment later.

The figure, a woman known only as Jay-bird, began to follow. Ms. bird is no ordinary bystander; in fact she is the only other person- besides Linzy and Kass themselves - who knows where the girls are really from. The woman is also from our world, an agent for a secret branch of the government which has taken an interest in the two universe hoppers. Unknown to either of the girls, the last time they made it home Jay had shadowed them, shadowed them until they were pulled into a different universe once again. She had been to 1 other universe so far- the one with the ninja(*cough*Tale of the Dragon sword*cough*read it *cough*)– but neither girl had been aware to her presence. That is, until she captured the crazy one, the one called Kass, right before they were separated from the other…


In a warehouse on the other side of the city…

A teenaged girl with short burgundy locks pounds her fists against a glowing blue force field, a look of pure annoyance on her face.

"Let me outta here lady! I don't know who you think you are, but you're gonna be in a world of pain when I get my hands on you!"

Her cries echoed through the large warehouse, and the lack of response fueled her anger.

"Seriously?! Where are Linzy and her crazy backpack when you need them?" she sighed, throwing her head back to yell,

"LLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNZZZZZYYYYYYY!"
