Friends, Physics and Fallon

Chapter 58

"H-hello?"  Jackie said timidly.  Suddenly, a huge claw grabbed everyone. Like, the kind of claw that you find in arcade games.  The rigged kind.  Like the kind you never win and the machine devours your money right in front of your face like a greedy monster.  They were all carried away to a different room.  It was larger, but still dark.  It was very warm.  They were placed in the center of the room.  In a corner, Alyssa caught sight of Michelle and Charlie.  "Michelle?  Charlie?  How did you guys get here?"  Jackie ran to Charlie.  He drooled on her, but Jackie didn't care.  Jimmy turned and looked to another corner and saw Higgins.  "You too, Higs?  How did you guys get here?  I thought you went to Jersey Floor!"  Michelle spoke up.  "Someone invaded Jersey Floor..."  "He drugged our drinks..."  Higgins added.  "And we ended up here."  Charlie finished.  "This is too weird!  Do you know who it was?"  Jimmy asked.  "No idea, man."  Higgins answered.  "The last thing I remember is...dark hair.  And glasses."  Charlie shared.  Just then, everyone heard the voice again.  It was not speaking English.  No one was sure what language the voice was speaking, but they knew for sure that it couldn't be English.  "Shoot, if I could speak in Japanese I would know if that is Japanese or not.  But I can only read and write in Japanese."  Jimmy said.  "It's definitely not Spanish."  Rachel added.  "Or ASL."  Jackie said.  Face-palm.  Giggles.  Then, there was some heavy breathing.  It sounded like...Darth Vader???  "Hello, friends."  Darth said as he entered the room.  "Darth?"  Jimmy said, not believing his eyes.  "Hello, Jimmy."  "'Sup man, where have you been?"  Jimmy asked, giving Darth a bro hug.  "I'm not sure.  I don't know how I got here or when, the last thing I remember is getting a phone call from you.  It sounded urgent."  "Oh, yeah, I was being held captive in the White House, but as you can see, I'm free now.  Or at least I hope so.  Do you know what this place is?  Why are we all here?  Who is the voice?  Do you know him?  Do we know him?  Why did-"  Darth cut him off.  "Jimmy, shut up.  You're rambling."  Jimmy let Darth talk.  "Okay, first of all, why were you guys being held captive in the White House?"  Darth asked.  "Not all of us, just Jimmy.  But we got in and saved him but then we were all wanted because everyone thought that Jimmy was John and John was Jimmy so they thought Jimmy was dangerous so they were after him so then they were after us because we helped him escape and then John confessed after a while so then we were free and we came back home to New York and we walked through a portal after the show and we ended up here."  Foamy said.  "Wow, you talk very fast.  And like your husband, you ramble.  I'll just pretend I understood all of that.  And secondly, I have no idea how I got here or who the voice is or if we know him.  And who is this John?"  Darth asked.  "John Broberg."  Alyssa answered.  Darth pondered this for a moment.  "John Broberg..."  he said to himself.  "Why does that name sound familiar?"  "He's the crazy physics guy, if that helps.  But don't worry, he's in prison at the White House for life now."  Jackie said.  Suddenly, the voice sounded again, interrupting Darth's train of thought.  "NO..."  was all it said.  "Very weird."  Someone said.  It got darker for some reason, so no one could make out each other's faces anymore.  Shortly after, it went pitch black.  Now they couldn't see a thing!  "Jimmy, I'm scared!  Where are you?"  Foamy said as she tried to make her way over to Jimmy.  "It's okay, Foamy, just follow my voice."  "Jackie?"  Charlie asked, fear evident in his voice.  Jackie crawled on her hands and knees until she got to Charlie.  "Come here, Barack!"  Maggie whispered to Barack, whose crying was very audible.  Michelle went over and cuddled with Barack and Maggie.  "Jimmy?"  Justin said.  "I'm scared too."  "Come here, Justin.  It's okay."  Foamy said.  Soon, everyone had a cuddling group.  The dark was very scary.  Suddenly, a bright flash came out of nowhere.  "DUCK AND COVER!"  everyone yelled in unison.  After about 2 hours of ducking and covering, nothing had happened.  "Okay, it wasn't an atomic bomb.  We're all safe."  Barack announced.  Everyone uncovered their eyes to find that there was still a very bright light somewhere in the room.  "Did someone turn on a flashlight or something?"  Alyssa asked.  "No..."  everyone said, confused about where this mysterious light was coming from.  "Let's find out where that light is coming from!"  Jimmy said and stood up, looking around the room.  Everyone followed suit.  "You sounded like Fred from Scooby Doo!"  Justin told Jimmy.   "Hey at least I'm the smart one.  You would be Shaggy, the dumb one."  Justin playfully punched Jimmy's arm.  "Hey, look over here!"  Maggie whispered.  She was looking in a corner, where there was a figure holding a lantern.  A very bright lantern.  Must be the LED kind or something.  Everyone stopped dead in their tracks.  "Who is that?!"  Foamy asked, panicking.  The figure slowly lifted the lantern up to his face.  Everyone was shocked speechless.  They couldn't believe who was standing before them.  "Broberg?"  An evil chuckle was the last thing anyone heard before their surroundings faded and everything went black.
