Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 3: Birthdays are fun

The day started casual for four of them. Bodie and Torie on the other hand, found something out.

Bodie woke up to the sound of Parker jumping the floor next to him. "C'mon sleepy head. It's Corbius' birthday." Parker says while almost jumping on top of Bodie.

Bodie sits up as he wipes his eyes and yawns. "How are you so happy about it? We only met them two days ago." Bodie slumps back into his sleeping bag that was super comfortable. "Just let me sleep for another hour. What time is it anyway?"

Parker looks at his watch that is blue. The way the watch works is that the numbers are displayed in the center while every single minute that passes the tinier hand that points at the number turns red where the minute is and every hour that passes the bigger "While looking at this super cool underland watch it is, ten-thirty three."

"Wait a minute, isn't Corbius' party at three o'clock?"

"Um... yeah."

Bodie bolts up out of bed and frantically tries to get out. "I need to get ready for it right now."

"Oh, another thing. You missed breakfast." Parker adds.

"No! Not breakfast. The most important meal of the day." Bodie whines.

"Wow. You're stronger than me but yet you're still geekier than me." Parker acknowledges while exiting the room. "Am I ever going to be better than you? Oh, hey Torie."

Torie walks into the room with a smile on her face. "Why are you smiling? You usually never smile." Bodie asks her in confusion.

"I have something planned for you." Torie replies,

"Okay, now it sounds like you have a crush on me."

"What? No. I only met you two days ago." Torie says acting suspiciously. "C'mon, get dressed before. I don't want to walk around with a shrimpy kid that has no shirt on."

"Oh right. I do have no shirt on. Sorry you had to see that."

"It's okay, I've seen plenty of boys without shirts. One of them was Kyle, he

tried to impress me. Let's just say he's not as strong as you think." Bodie and Torie laugh together. They then make eye contact for a fat minute. "Well, let's get going shall we?"

"Sure. But why me. Why do I have to do it?" Bodie asks while in the dressing room while Torie is outside of it.

"Because, you've been my best friend ever since you got here."

Bodie walks out of the room with shorts and a t-shirt. One thing for sure, the fabric on the overland is very different compared to the fabric in the underland. The clothes look the same though.

The shirt was plain blue and the shorts were levis. "In my defense, you look a lot better in long pants than shorts." Torie says to Bodie.

"I think so too but, in the underland it's always summer. That means it's burning hot down here."

"Okay, but, tomorrow you will be wearing levis."

They finally walk out of the room after the long conversation. Bodie looks over to a guard running past. The guard had full on armor, a sword in his sheath and a shield on his back. Bodie noticed that it was only a boy that was fourteen. Where is that boy going? Bodie thought.

They reach the throne room and Torie runs over one of the pillars. Bodie doesn't notice her because he's staring at the pillar with the saying. "Stop staring over there. The surprise is over here." Torie says to Bodie. Bodie walks over to where Torie is standing.
