Second Generation: Kingdom Keepers Fan Fiction

Chapter 2

Angel sat down in a booth eating her ice cream trying to look inconspicuous. It wasn't working. She was eyeing everyone in the room, and sometimes she missed her mouth trying to eat. She looked like a complete idiot.

The bell on the door rang. She spun around to see a guy walk in. He was tall, obviously athletic, and wore a cap and sunglasses to shield his face like a celebrity. He was carrying a folded piece of paper and checked it every once and a while. Angel tried focusing on just eating her ice cream, but ended up missing her face again. The boy looked over, checked his paper, and walked over to her. He pointed to the paper.

"Is this you?" he asked in a fake deep voice.

"You tell me? Is that my face on that piece of paper?" she asked sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes. "Are you Angel?

"I am. And who are you?"

"I'm Dan, Dan Auster," he said taking off his sunglasses.

Dan? Is this the guy Finn was talking about? Angel thought.

"Wait? Do you know a person named Finn?" she asked.

Dan sat down and brushed his jacket. "Yeah, why? Did you get the message, too?"

"The one where you're transported to Disney World in the dead of night?" she asked in a know-it-all tone.

"Yep, that one," he said. "What was Finn talking about? What does this all mean?"

"Well, from what I already know-"

Angel was interrupted by another person entering the shop. They both turned around to see her. She had long platinum blonde hair that went down to her waist and had thick black glasses. Dan sighed.

"That's Sarah," he groaned.

"How do you know that?" Angel asked.

"She goes to my school. Sarah and I are friends, but sometimes she gets in my nerves. She has to be the next member," he said annoyed.

"Why? Can't it just be a coincidence that she's here?" Angel asked.

Sarah walked over to the booth. She smiled and waved to Dan.

"Hi, Dan," she greeted sweetly, "I didn't know you were going to be here."

"Cut the act, Sarah. I know why you're here," he said.

"You do?" she asked lowering her glasses.

"Yes, we both got the message about... the thing," he whispered.

She sat down in the booth. "How did you know I wasn't here just to get ice cream?"

"Sarah, I know your diet. You don't eat sugar and you hate cold foods," he responded.

She frowned with defeat and stared at Dan. "Well, maybe I'm just trying something new."

Two more people walked in. It was a couple. The boyfriend had his arm wrapped around the girl's shoulder. They both strutted in like they owned the place.

"That's the last two people," Sarah said pointing to them. "Finn told me about the girl, Abigail. He said that her and her boyfriend are both on the team and that they're basically attached at the hip. She never leaves his side. He also said not to separate them because they work well together."

"I know them. They go to my school. Wait, he told you just about her, not her boyfriend?" Angel asked.

Sarah nodded and turned towards the two, accidentally made eye contact with Abigail from across the room. She spotted the group and stormed over while her boyfriend followed behind her.

"Uh oh," Sarah mumbled.

"Look," Abigail said aggressively while slamming her hands on the table. "I know why we're all here, I know we all got the same message, and I know we're all confused why us. But right now, I really don't care. I've got a movie to go to in fifteen minutes so let's make this short and sweet, okay?"

Everyone was stunned by Abigail's confidence and didn't say anything.

"Let's try that again, shall we?" The boy asked. "Hi, my name is Austin, and this little ball of energy I call my girlfriend is Abby-"

"Don't call me Abby," she snapped.

Austin rolled his eyes and sat down in the booth. "Is this everyone?"

"Yes," Angel said. "Now that we're all here, I think we need to tell each other all that we know. It seems that Finn has told us bits and pieces of our stories to each of us, but not the whole thing. So, I guess share what you guys know."

"I was told that Abigail and Austin work best as a team. Abigail is really good at communicating and getting straight to the point, obviously." Sarah laughed.

"Finn told me that Sarah is the brains in this production," Austin said. "He said she's gonna get us out of trouble, a lot. We need her, but he said not to completely depend on her for our own safety."

"Dan is the brawn. He'll fight his way through thick and thin to protect everyone. He's basically the group's bodyguard," Angel said.

"Finn said that Austin is a computer whiz, but I already knew that. He hacks into stuff and buys me stuff for free," Abigail bragged.

"And Angel is our leader. She's gonna lead us down the right paths and set us up for success. He said that she is gonna be the glue holding this team together. Sometimes she's gonna be the complete reason we succeed," Dan said.

"We all have our strengths and our weaknesses, and we're all here for a reason. Finn chose us out of all the other kids for this responsibility, and we can't let him down," Angel said.

"Yes I get it we have a lot of responsibility in this job, but what are we exactly doing? He wasn't so clear on the details," Abigail asked.

"Well, in the original stories, the OG keepers fought off all of the villains that crossed their paths. I don't know how we're gonna protect the parks, but maybe Finn could tell us," Angel said.

"How? It's not like he can meet us here without getting recognized," Dan said.

"We're crossing over, tonight," Angel said lowering her voice.

"Really? Finn got the system set up and everything?" Sarah asked.

"He has to, right? I mean he crossed us all over without us even being in the system. There has to be some sort of connection between us and the data." Angel said.

"I don't know how he would do it, but it sounds possible," Austin reassured.

"To test that theory, we're all going to cross over tonight at 9:00. So make sure you're in bed and asleep by then. Okay?" She asked.

The group nodded.

"Great. See you guys at Disney World."
