Sarah's adventures: battle for the key

Chapter 9: not eveything is as it seems

Sarah woke up in the middle of a park. She laid under a shady tree. Looking down she noticed she was back in her Jedi attire. Her lightsaber is still on her belt. Had she been dreaming this whole time?

"Sleep well sleeping beauty?" A familiar voice asked. Sarah turned her head to see Jack sitting next to her. She slowly sat up, realizing she was on a red and white checkered picnic blanket. It was covered in food from fruits to sandwiches.

"What happened?" She asked, letting out a small yawn.

"You fell asleep, and have been out for about an hour and a half." He stated takeing a bite out of a sandwich.

'That long' she thought 'it feels like I've been out for longer than that'. Her gase looked off into the park. Jess and Tess weren't to far away, grabbing ice cream from the bottom of the hill. Jack had also been watching at them. But he had this look in his eyes when he stared at Tess.

"Are you ever gonna tell her?" She asked, grabbing a piece of watermelon from the blanket.

"What do you mean?" He asked a bit started by the question.

"You know what I mean, you know I think she likes you two." She sank her teeth into the watermellon.

"How did you?"

"Force." She said with her mouth full before swallowing. "You know, you should ask her to the dance."

"The snowflake formal, no way could I do that ." His face went red.

Sarah chuckled "you should, I know shill be happy. But if you rather be chicken-"

"I'm not a chicken." He stated crossing his arms "You know what, I will ask her. But I'll wait till I have an idea, I want to make it special, ya know?"

Sarah nodded, and the two watched as the girls made their way up the hill. They had an Ice cream cone in each hand. All of them chocolate and vanilla swirl.

"Nice to see you up" Jess commented as she handed Sarah a cone. Sarah smiled as the two sat down. They sat for a few minutes, each enjoying there cream and talking about life in general. They were having a jolly good time! Then, all of a sudden the winds began to pick up. Leaves rustled fast as twigs snapped off branches. It was like Mother Nature had a mind of its own.

"We need to take cover!" Tess shouted as they all stood up. They each looked around for a secure building. That's when all eyes landed on the local history museum.

"There" Sarah pointed "will hang out there till the storm passes." They all rushed over to the building. It was tall and white, similar to the New York building found in night at the museum, but very scaled down.

They each climbed the stairs, but before Sarah could even reach the last step, a gust of wind pushed her away. She had fallen back onto the street. She began to stand up when the ground rubbed beneath her feet. A loud crack came as it broke underneath her causing her to fall. She screamed as the sky became nothing but a mere speck.

Sarah hit the ground with a thud, her body sore from the fall. She felt like Alice in wonderland, but darker. Slowly, she stood, rubbing her lower back. Surely that would Leave a mark. She could hardly see anything, everything was so dark. With her right hand, she went to grab her lightsaber. But she grabbed a chunk of air Instead. Tuning her head, she realized it was missing.

"Looking for this?" Asked a new orleans accent from behind her. Sarah truned to see a tall, skinny man, Dr Faciliar. Her lightsaber held in his right hand. "On showntay" he greeted tipping his hat.

"Gave me that!" She hallerd trying to force pull the saber back into her hands. But nothing happend.

"Your powers, I'm afraid, don't work in my world." He grind as he stepped closer to her.
