Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 75: Mannequin

(A few minutes later they pulled into the station of the apocolypse timeline and they exited the subway after the doors opened.)

Five: Okay, broken vending machine. Australia.

Y/n: 4 burnt-out light bulbs. It was 3 before. 

Five: One could have burnt out while we were gone. 

Lila: See? Your poetry book came in handy. 

Five: All right. 

Y/n: Knowing us, we probably set a trap, so be careful.

(The doors close and the PA system bings as Y/n, Five and Lila head up the stairs to find the apocalyspe. Five took out his binoculars to look arouns and find a place they had turned into a home when they were stuck in the apocalyspe by no sign of Five or Y/n.)

Five: All right. No sign of them... Why is there a mannequin? 

Y/n: A mannequin?

(Five nods and hands Y/n the binoculars and she finds the top of a mannequin leaning against the rubble.)

Y/n: Huh, that's weird.

Lila: Okay. Well, let's get going before you start farting. 

Five: Yeah.

(Five puts a hand around Y/n and grabs Lila's arm.)

Lila: ready? 2006, here we come. 

(A light engulfs them and they vanish and re-apear in the halls of the academy.)

Lila: Did it work? Are we here?

(Five goes over to a table that had some mail on it and checks the newspaper to find the date.)

Lila: I don't know. 

Five: October 14, 2006.

Lila: Great. Okay. So we go in, we snuff Ben out, we get back on the tue, we're back before bath time. 

Y/n: We are not killing Ben. 

Five: We're not here to kill him, Lila. we're just diverting him. 

Y/n: We have to make sure he doesn't go on the Moldova mission

Five: Now, we haven't seen him in, like, five years by now. So he might be a little jumpy. Just play it cool.

Lila: Like polar bear nipples. 

Y/n: What weird shit goes on in your brain?

(An alarm starts blaring which causes Five to pull Y/n and Lila behind a corner.)

Five and Y/n: Oh, Shit.
