Two Worlds, Two Girls, Two Problems (book one)

Hope: Tabitha

Tabitha found herself plummeting down toward a small shed. Grass littered the ground and a small hut was sitting right next to the shed. Tabitha looked at Austin who was falling as well. But before Tabitha could think once more, they crashed into the roof of the shed. Wood planks fell from the roof as Tabitha landed on a cloth-covered table. Austin thudded onto solid ground, but he landed with agility on his two feet.

It only took a moment for Tabitha to process where they were until she realized they were at, "Home." Tabitha murmured.

"This is your home?" Austin asked. He sneezed from the sudden dust.

"My mom won't be so happy about the roof." Tabitha laughed. "Oops."

Austin scratched the back of his neck. Tabitha first noticed the book. Yes, the book that started this whole thing. She found herself stepping on ripped pages. She bent over and picked a couple of them up. She looked at the book, and back at the pages.

"I need to fix some things," Tabitha said. She walked over to the book. She began to flip through the pages, and place the ripped parts back where they belonged. It might have been her imagination, but they seemed to slowly mend together every time they were placed in the right spot.

Tabitha flipped over to the blank pages. But she found herself looking at a new story that hasn't been there before. Tabitha smiled as she read the story that would never be considered a mistake for her. She read a few pages of The Princess And The Pea and Cinderella. She realized that their stories have changed. She flipped more pages until she came to the end of her story. The two special words were embedded on the last page:

The End

"I think, that's a great story," Austin said.

"Agreed." Tabitha pecked him on the cheek before leaving the shed together. Tabitha couldn't help but remember the title of their story:
