Full House

1) Looks Like We're In This Together

When Drea opens her eyes, a blinding light shoots into her vision, causing her to flinch. What in the world?

All of a sudden, she's whipped into something resembling a tornado, and blackness resumes.

~~~

Across the world, the same thing happens to a number of other teens. Alex. Gem. Bogdan. Spriha. Maria. Patt. Autumn. Stephan. Kat. 

All of them go through a tornado. 

All of them wake up in an unknown place.

~~~

"Huh?" groans Gem as she sits up, rubbing her eyes. Across from her, Stephan staggers to his feet, trying to make sense of his surroundings. A shriek is heard, and Kat, who was stretching, topples over. As she sees who knocked her over, she gasps.

"Autumn?" Autumn grins uncertainly. 

"Kat. I don't know if I'm dreaming or what, but you're here and I'm here so WE GOTTA MAKE THE BEST OF IT!!" Kat, in response, reaches over and pinches Autumn, whose eyes widen. "Okay, I'm not dreaming. And that hurt pretty bad."

"Sorry sorry I just wanted to make sure all of this is real..." Kat smiles, wrapping her arms around the other girl. Autumn hugs back, enjoying the embrace. 

By this time, Gem has noticed them, and so have the others: Drea, Bogdan, Stephan, Alex, Spriha, and Patt.

"What's going on?" questions Alex, looking bewildered. Stephan glances over at him, realizes who it is, and almost falls over. 

"Alex!" Alex, recognizing Stephan's voice, yells out.

"Stephan!" he laughs and punches the boy's shoulder. 

"Guys!" Bogdan, Patt, and Maria yell, jumping on Alex and Stephan. The five of them high five and eventually hug. Meanwhile, Drea and Spriha have realized that they are in the same place and are screaming all over the place.

Finally, all ten of the teens collapse onto the floor - er, grass - and sigh happily. Ecstatic energy radiates from them because they've finally been united.

"So, what now?" asks Kat after a minute of silence. 

"First things first, where are we?" Spriha inquires. "This place doesn't look familiar at all."

"True," Bogdan notes, and Maria nods in agreement.

"Omg!" Drea shouts, pointing to something in the distance. "Look!" They all turn to see a huge mansion rising from the ground.

"Woah," Kat gapes, and Gem almost faints.

"That is one big house," remarks Autumn.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go explore!" exclaims Maria, running off towards the mansion. 

"Wait for us!" Alex calls, laughing, as he and the others follow pursuit.

After exploring (and knocking over) everything in the mansion, the kids gather in the living room, chatting about what they saw.

"There's a pool and library!"

"And a game room!"

"Did you see the dance studio and mini salon?"

"Bro, the kitchen is HUGE."

"The dining table though...that can fit so many people. Even all of us."

They've also already chosen their bedrooms, which are on the second floor. 

"Wait, we still don't know how and why we're here," Alex points out. 

"Yeah true," Maria agrees, drawing out her words while thinking.

"Eh," shrugs Drea. "Who cares?"

"Yeah," Stephan says. "No matter why we're here, looks like we're in this together."
