A Link in Time

Sixteen: Home Sweet Home

~Skylor's POV~

"So you think that you can get home?" I questioned Time, as I walked into the living room with him. He nodded, continuing to read the page he was on. Heather, Allison and I crowded around him as he said something, making the whoosh happen like when we did it, and the door turn from the mahogany brown to Heather's white closet door. I opened door and peered in, seeing that it was Heather's room. Only to be shoved in by someone, before Heather and Allison came toppling in over me. I craned my neck around to see Time shut the door.

"OH HELL NAH!" I got out, before he shut the door. I waited for both to get up, before getting up myself and grabbing the first thing that I saw, which was Heather's plastic replica of Halo's energy sword. It actually glowed and made noises. It was pretty cool. I said the words that made the door go whoosh again before throwing the door open and seeing the others sitting on the sofa, like nothing happened. Time differences man.

"Skylor!" Dark yelled happily, as he got up to hug me, though he saw the look on my face and the sword before backing up and pointing to the hallway. Ah yes, in his room. Where he usually is. I walked out of the room and towards his room. I knew that Heather and Allison followed me because I heard them sigh as Heather made a squeak noise from Wild-I'm assuming- who hugged her.

As I made my way into Time's room, I saw picking up books and setting them down on his desk, presumably to take back to the library. I smiled as I walked over and tapped his shoulder with the sword, making him jump once he saw it. He looked at it before looking to me, then back to the sword.

"I was gonna poke you a bunch with this, but I decided not too because this is Heather's and she would kill me if I accidentally broke it, so for now..." I started, taking off my sandal and slapping Time with it a couple of times. "That, is for kicking us out of the house rudely. I'm also pretty sure Dark and Wild wanna come with us and see our place for a while, so you better let them or else I'mma sandal slap you again."

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry!" he started, "I'll let them visit! Jeez, you're so violent..." he rubbed his cheek where I had slapped him and I smiled, following him out of the room. When we got back to the living room, everyone was talking to Heather and Allison casually.

"Dark, Wild, if ya'll wanna come over to our place for a bit, that's fine," I smiled, handing Heather her energy sword back and hugging Dark. "Though, if you guys come over, we gotta get ya'll some clothes because these are not really the typical clothing you'll find. But I mean, we did it so you'll survive."

"Fair enough," Dark and Wild replied at the same time, giving each other a smile before turning to us. Time reopened the door and we all went through, Heather setting her sword back into it's hanging place on her turquoise walls. Her room was just dark turquoise walls with a light brown carpet and a white bookshelf, table, and dresser with the same blue drawers. It looked pretty nice if I do say so. Though, you really can't see the walls or ceiling as her entire room was covered with posters, a cork board, and shelves filled with Legos and stuffed animals.

"So, uh, here on Earth, a lot of the technology is different. Like we have cars and planes and boats, and you guys have like... trains... and horses..." Heather started, "but I mean, it shouldn't be all that bad, once you guys get situated here for a while."

"Sounds about right," Allison and I commented, sitting on her bed. That's when I spotted Sassy. Heather's fat calico cat. "SASSY!" at my loud outburst, she turned to me like deer in the headlights and as I attempted to go to pick her up, she ran as fast as she could.

"Sassy no! Come back and love me!" I yelled, running out of the room and into the living room, finding Sassy hiding under the sofa. I picked her up and held her in my arms, as she clawed my shoulder. "Shhh, shhh, it's okay. I love you and I will never hurt you." I stroked her fur, attempting to calm her down, to some effort, she did. Woo! Win for me!

I sat down on the sofa as the others walked in, looking around in awe. I guess Dark and Wild haven't seen such a big house for three people. We built a three story house for us, we each got ourselves a floor-which is really cool if you ask me- but it was also a bit pricey. But I mean, once we all get our dream jobs than we'll be set. Heather's gonna be an engineer, I'm gonna be an accountant and Allison's gonna be a teacher. But for now, our parents are helping us out since we all have crappy jobs.

"So, quick run down of the house," Heather started, "Allison lives on the top floor, Skylor on the second floor, and I'm on the bottom floor. The basement has two sides, one side is our gaming room of sorts, we're still working on adding things to it but I mean... it'll be complete one day, and the other side is our laundry and other things like that."

"That's so cool..." Dark and Wild replied, looking at her with a face of awe.

"Now, moving onto clothes..." Heather started, turning on her TV and plugging her laptop into it. She sat between me and Allison on the sofa, Dark and Wild taking the two seats on either side of the sofa. Once she got onto some clothing website, she scrolled through the clothing sections and bought some outfits that both of them liked, even buying for overnight shipping so they could have them tomorrow.

"And once you guys get the clothes, we can go out and have some fun," Allison explained, "OH! Maybe we could go bowling or roller skating!"

"That's a good idea! And tonight we can get pizza and tomorrow we can get Chinese!" I replied, looking between the two and seeing that their heads were spinning. "You two are never going to want to go home once you guys get to stay here for a while. Trust me."
