We and Tyler made it onto the bus with the rest of the group and Aiden following us, we sat around all nervously fidgeting trying to cope what Ashlyn had told us.

"So...You think the phantom dimension is influencing us?"

Tyler lifted his head from beside be and looked up at the rest of the group.

"Not only that but..."
Ashlyn paused putting some thought into what she's about to say,

"...I think we're also impacting the real world as well."

Everyone grew silent again, my arms wrapped around my torso more, trying to comprehend everything we've been through and now we're effected in the only place we get a break.

Taylor let out a sigh, looking down at the floor,

"...what do we do?"

"I think things started to get out of control after Logan got upset..."

Ashlyn told us, everyone nodded agreeing with her making Logan curl into a ball in the tire he sat in.

"...maybe negative emotions can set that kind of reaction off?"

Taylor looked up again.

"So we should avoid getting angry."

Logan spoke in a low voice as if he spoke any higher another reaction would accrue.

"That's a good place to start."

Ashlyn nodded at him. Tyler threw his head back into our seat and groaned,

"How are we going to do that when our entire situation is negative?"

Ashlyn paused thinking for a moment about what Tyler had said to us,

"...I also don't think we can afford to be as careful as we have been. I was hoping we could take our time figuring out as safely as possible but...we don't know how the dimension's influence over us will progress or how quickly. Alongside the possibility of us damaging the real world because of that influence."

"Ashlyn what do you mean?"

I spoke up for the first time looking towards the redheaded girl.

"We need to speed things up and find a way to Savannah."

I was back home in the kitchen cutting up some extra fruit to bring to the bbq the Banner's are hosting, my knife thudded against the chopping board with every slice I make into the watermelon.

"I'm happy to finally get out and meet some new people, maybe I'll even meet this Tyler you keep going on about."

My dad said as he entered the room.

"I don't "keep going on" about him he's just a...friend of mine who I so happened to talk about. But if you say anything about me talking about him to you I swear I will never help with anything again."

My dad let out a chuckle as he finished filling up the cooler by adding the watermelon I cut up.

"Okay, okay fine but introduce me to your friends, it would be nice knowing who's been taking care of my little girl while I've been at work."

I smiled at him picking up some extra stuff as he picked up the cooler, we made our way outside and in the car ready for the ride to Ashlyn's house. We made it to the house and grabbed everything going to the door and ringing the doorbell, Ashlyn opened the door and stared at us.

"Hey Ashlyn, I hope we're not late we had some last minute stuff to do."

I smiled at her as she nodded,
