Keld (I'll be referring to me and my friends as Keld, Rachel, Noobie, and Matt they're our usernames and that way I don't use our real names)

It was just an ordinary night, Rachel and I were at Noobie's house for a sleepover. We were all in the basement because why not? Rachel had gone upstairs to get a snack, a banana, and hadn't come back yet. Noobie was playing on her laptop, playing draw something on Minecraft. As for me I was just watching YouTube videos on my iPod, it was a Team Crafted video if you even care.

Nothing was different from the normal sleepovers, just the fact that we were all talking with our friend Matt over the speaker phone. Yes we were talking to a boy at an all girl's sleepover. Don't question it because none of us are dating!

That's just plain gross!

"Oh come on! It was a giraffe? Really? That looks nothing like a giraffe!" Noobie yelled. She gets very... um.... competitive when playing draw something.

"I thought it was a giraffe," I replied unenthusiastically, and turned back to the video. What? I'm watching a video at the moment!

"Well you clearly don't know a thing or two about draw something!" she retorted and threw the nearest pillow at me. We both were having a somewhat decent 'pillow fight' or as I call it a 'PILLOWFIGHTFORLIFE!!'

Yes I actually do this. You try it, it's loads of fun! The fight counting we for a while until we both heard footsteps gently get louder.

"Guess who's got a banana guys?" Rachel questioned as she walked down the stairs to us. Well I mean Noobie's mom isn't here so there's no logical way it was her. I mean she's in freaking Idaho for the next three days!

"Uhh... Deadlox?" I replied unenthusiastically, again.

"Yes Keld, it's Deadlox."

"I knew it..." I could hear Matt chuckle from the phone.

"Soooo, I'm playing hunger games, wanna join me Noobie?" Matt wondered through the phone. Matt was silent for a couple minutes as we all pondered the decision.

"Well.... wait a sec'... what the fart?" Noobie was just sitting on the couch with a confused look spread cross her face.

"What's wrong?" Rachel asked.

"Well for one thing it's making weird noises, and for another thing on the screen it reads 'Welcome to the other side.'"

"Well, I think your delusional!" Rachel responded cheerfully.

"I'm not delusional!"

"Um... Maybe you're being trolled?" I responded. I paused the video, took out my headphones, put down my iPod, and looked at the screen myself. Everything she said was true as I took a good look at the screen."Yup, looks like the work of a troll."

"Or a banana..." Rachel confirmed.

"Or Santa!" I decided.

"Keld, we've been through this, Santa doesn't exist." Rachel just continued to ruin my childhood.... Whatever!

"This looks to real to be a troll, maybe my minecraft just crashed?" Noobie asked taking another look at her screen.

"No I've seen minecraft crashes before, this is nothing like it," I declared. "Maybe, it's.... uhh..."

"Rachel, stop chewing in my ear! I've got a pillow!" Is what I heard Noobie yell while I looked at her screen. She must have thrown the pillow because do heard a faint ow come from that direction.

"Fine then! I'll just annoy Matt! Oh Matty!" Rachel said while she went over to the phone. "Wait that's weird..."

"What?"

"The lines dead... Matt? Are you still there?" Rachel tried to get him to answer.

"Uhh guys?" Noobie asked.

"One sec' Noobie we're trying to get Matt back," I replied while walking towards the phone. What the fart? How and when did this happen?!

"Uhh... guys? A little help?" Noobie asked again, except a little desperate.

"We'll fix your game in second Noobie!" Rachel replied clearly getting annoyed. I pulled some of the wires and plugged them in. There wasn't even a dial tone!

"Guys!" Noobie yelled.

"What can't wait another second Noobie?" I replied very, very annoyed. Rachel and I turned around and away from the phone to see Noobie being held by her shirt.

"Well, bye!" Noobie said, waving slightly, and then she was pulled into the game by, well... whatever had her I guess!

"NOOBIE!!" Rachel and I screamed simultaneously. We both ran over from the phone over to her laptop. It was now swirling a light blue, and sounds just like the Minecraft nether portal.

"What do we do now!?" Rachel yelled at me.

Shoot, I guess I'm supposed to be the smart one! Think Keld think!

I couldn't think of anything so I quickly said, "Bananas first?"

"Thanks," Rachel retorted bluntly. Then she jumped into the laptop (I guess portal?) and was gone. Well, I decided to follow, not because I wanted to save her, but the thought of being alone and having to explain all this scared me.

Here goes nothing.

I jumped into the screen of the laptop. I started screaming at the top of my lungs, so maybe someone could help us all, and say that this was all some nightmare.

Suddenly, I got really dizzy, and really sleepy. The next thing I know is that I was unconscious, oblivious to my surroundings and the world we were entering.
