War of the Worlds (Jabbawockeez)

1. Traveling to the east

Hey guys!  Here's a new book I've been working on. It is based on the War of the Worlds movie and novel. The plot does NOT belong to me. I hope you all enjoy the story!

It was an early morning as the sun began to rise in the distance, some clouds hovering in the sky. The Jabbawockeez had woken up early in the morning to get a head start of the day. Earlier that week, they had qualified for a dance competition, and had past the first round and is now moving onto the second round of the competition. Due to the repairs to the arena where the competition was supposed to take place, they moved the competition over to the east coast, in New Jersey. The boys were grabbing things that they would need since they had packed their clothes and their outfits to wear for the competition the day before.

Each one of them slowly opened their eyes and let out a quiet yawn as they did so. Slowly, each one of them got out of bed, rubbing the sleepiness out of their eyes. Phil was the first out of the five to get up. Then Phi, Rynan, and Kevin got up after him. Joe was the last one to get out of bed. Phil walked over past Joe's bed to grab his hat, then he lightly hit Joe in the arm with his hat to wake him up. "Joe, get up bro. We gotta catch the plane." He said as Joe woke up and sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes. "I'm up.." He yawned and got out of bed and started to get dressed as the rest of the boys were also getting dressed.

Once they were all dressed and they had everything they needed for their trip, they grabbed their bags and left the Jabbawockeez headquarters to the car to drive to the airport. On the way, some of the boys talked and joked with one another and the rest listened to music on the way. When they entered the airport they got their tickets and they placed their bigger luggage on the belt which will be taken to their plane when they are getting ready to take off.

The boys then checked in for their flight and boarded the plane and sat down in their seats, and got ready for the take off. When the plane was finally in the air, the boys settled down, yet they were excited to be engaged in a new dance competition since their season one win on abdc. As the plane took off, the boys settled down for their flight to New Jersey. Phil listens to some music, and Phi did the same. Rynan went on his phone and Joe and Kevin went back to sleep for a bit. Soon, they arrived at the airport, Phi woke Joe and Kevin up from their somewhat long nap. The boys walked out together and grabbed their luggage from the conveyer, they went outside to wait for the bus to take them to a place to stay during the time of the competition.

When the bus arrived, the boys got in and looked around the city a bit as the bus drove. The boys talked with one another, making jokes and stuff like that. The city was big, but not big enough to get lost in. "So what are we going to do one we get to the hotel?" Rynan asked the rest of the group. "Sightseeing maybe?" Phi suggested, looking at the others to see what they think. "Sounds good to me." Phil replied with a nod as the others agreed to Phi's suggestion.

As the bus arrived at the hotel, the boys got down and checked into their room. They only got one room because they thought it would be easier to all share one room so they don't have to waste much money. The boys then got to their room and put all their stuff down and got out the things they needed. "I got a rental car guys, so we don't have to walk in the scorching heat." Joe announced as the boys all gave him a smile and a pat on the back. "You didn't have to do that bro." Rynan said as Joe shrugged. "It wasn't a problem. Easier way to get around is on wheels." He replied as the others nodded. "Alright then, we'll help with the gas." Kevin said as they all walked out of the room, down the hall, then took the elevator down to the main lobby. They all walked out to the parking lot as Joe found the car he had rented for the time they were going to be staying for the competition.

The boys got in as Joe got into the drivers seat, and Phil sat in the passenger seat. Phi, Rynan and Kevin sat in the back seat, looking out the window as Joe drove out of the parking lot and into the main street and stopped at the red light at the intersection. All the boys were talking to one another, taking pictures with each other as well of places and structures they never seen before. "Man Jersey is awesome!" Rynan exclaimed excitedly, smiling as he checked the pictures he had taken on his phone. "Yeah, this place is awesome!" Joe said as he drove around the streets, looking around ring careful as they drove through the somewhat busy streets. "Hey guys check it out! A dance studio!" Joe said, pointing over to a dance studio that was empty, with the clerk at the front desk.

"Maybe we can rehearse there for the competition." Kevin said, as Phil nodded in agreement. "Sure. Let's just look around and settle in for today and we can see if we can use the studio tomorrow." Phil replied as the others nodded. "Sounds good." Phi said as he turned off his phone and sat back and relaxed for the rest of the car ride. After a while of driving, the boys got something to eat since they haven't eaten since they had gotten off the plane.

Once they were done eating, they drove back to the hotel to settle in and relax. When they walked in the room, they were discussing who was going to sleep where. "I'll take the couch." Phi volunteered looking at the others. "You sure dude? I can take the couch." Kevin said, but Phi shook his head and put his hand on his shoulder. "No it's alright bro." Phi replied as Kevin then nodded. "Alright." He said and looked at the others. "Well, Joe and I can pair up and Kevin and Rynan can pair up." Phil suggested as they nodded. "That can work. As long as we get some sleep." Rynan said as he sat on one of the beds, and got ready to get some sleep as the others did the same. After they were all set for bed, the boys got settled in and slowly drifted off to sleep, exhausted from their long day of traveling.
