Rat Trapped

Chapter 1

AN: Hello all, welcome to my story. This is actually a rewrite of my story 'Pulled in the Show' I made over on fanfiction.net I made a few years back. This story Is also available over there, too. I have no update schedule so that will be random. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Enjoy the story :)

A young woman, around 18, lay sleeping on her bed. Sunlight slowly seeped into the room through the window as the sun came up. Wait it just got brighter. She sat up, now awake, as the light had gotten too bright to stay asleep. Turns out the friend she has over was shining a flashlight directly at her face. She swatted the other girl's hand away.

"Riley, what the heck?"

"Sorry, Grace," the redhead said as she took a step back. "But I found something really cool."

Riley turned on the light and Grace could now see she was dressed in jeans and a red and white T-shirt.

"It's 3am," grace complained with a glance at the clock. "I see by the mud on you sneakers you've already snuck out."

"Yes, now brush that beautiful brunette hair of yours and get your glasses. This is something you'll want to see."

Grace did as she was told, though remained in her YouTuber merch pajamas. Afterwards, the pair of girls rushed out the front door of their small house and into a shed in the back.

"Prepare yourself for amazement!" the red-haired girl flipped on the light switch to reveal...something. It looked to be some kind of machine made out of junkyard scraps. Though she couldn't tell what it was, Grace was still impressed. Riley's hobby was building machines from junk, a hobby inspired by her dad.

"Awesome. What does it do?"

"No clue, but it does make the place warmer. So I think I may have made a heater?" Grace walked over to stand by her friend, feeling the warmth radiating from the device. She placed a hand on it, noting it wasn't actually hot. "Still gonna work on a few more things, then I'll show dad. But I really want to make something awesome!"

"Like the wormhole thing Davenport made?" Riley turned to face her, eyes wide in excitement.

"Exactly like that!" her face went from excitement to thoughtful. "But I'm only 19 and in my first year of college, so I highly doubt I'd make that. Wait, you still remember Lab Rats?"

"Heck yeah, dude." Grace now leaned fully on the machine, Riley seeming to not mind. "Though, it has been a few years since I've seen it." The look of excitement returned to the redhead's face as she stared at her friend, this time for a different reason.

"We have to watch it when we get back inside!"

"Well, I'm already awake and have no work tomorrow so I don't see why not."

"Then let's go!" Riley slammed her hand on the machine in excitement, causing it to send out a small shock into Grace's arm. Grace jumped back, letting out a small squeak.

"Maybe you should turn this off first."

"Oh, right."

After shutting off the device, the pair went back inside to start a Lab Rats marathon starting from episode one. They were only a few episodes from the end of season one when they dozed off. Though there were two girls that night when they fell asleep, only one woke up in the house with no sight on the other.
