Chapter 24: Professor!?

Emily's POV:

We entered the building with a group of tourists. Apparently this was a pretty famous place, cause they all had cameras.

The tour guide was giving an explanation on the buildings history and what not.

"What used to be an ordinary city, now has turned to the future. Thanks to Professor Bateman's genius."

Bateman?

I opened my ears while the group entered a glass elevator. Emily led me along with them. 

"We need to get to the top floor." She whispered.

I nodded.

"Our best bet is to follow them around so people don't get suspicious, then when they're as close to the top floor as this tour goes, we'll sneak away." Emily planned.

I don't know about that plan. The whole building is kind of heavily guarded. It was just our luck that today was a "children go free" kind of thing, so the guards just assumed we belonged to one of the families. But if they see two kids without an adult...

"In this room we see a picture of the professor and his family." The tour guide gestured to a large picture, which was immediately swarmed by people.

I waited for them to move on so I could look at the picture. Maybe it was dad? Or just a coincidence that their name is BATEMAN!

The people moved aside and I got a good look at the photo.

Oh my flip it's Will and Sophie. Also in the picture were two little girls and a boy. The boy looked a lot like Sophie. One of the girl's looked like a mix between Will and Sophie, with brown hair, and blue eyes.

And then there was a little girl that looked exactly like ME. Also Will because I look like Will but since she was a girl, she looked like me.

"The picture is of Professor Bateman, his wife Sophie Bateman, and their children: Oakley, Anne-Luise, and Emily-Marie." The tourist guide explained as the group walked on, gesturing to each child as she said their name. The one that looked like me's name was Emily.

"Emily! Come ON!" Emily whispered from the tourist group.

"C...coming!" I jogged over. "Hey uh...am I Sophie and Will's kid in this dimension?" I asked.

"No. Why would you think that?" Emily raised her eyebrows.

I shrugged. "Okay never mind." Seriously though...I mean, my middle name isn't Marie, but My middle name COULD be different here.

We got into the elevator again.

"And now, our final stop before our tour ends..." The tour guide started a long speech about the devices that "Professor" Bateman used and created. And how this next floor would hold some of them.

So is she trying to tell me that Will is a genius in this dimension?

Suddenly I had a GREAT idea. One of my best ideas EVER!

I know how we can get to the top floor MUCH easier!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"HEY YOU!" What are you doing!" A guard came rushing over to me as I stepped out of the elevator and onto the top floor.

"I'm going to see my daddy." I replied.

"Miss Emily?" The guard looked at me and then sighed. "Your father won't be happy that you left school again."

I yawned. "That's nice, now I'm going to see him!" I pushed by the guard and walked down the hall.

"What room is he in!?" I called back.

"Last room in the hall." The guard replied quickly.

I nodded and then the guard resumed his patrol. It was then really easy for me to run over to the locked door that led to the stairs and open it from the inside.

"Took...you...long...enough..." Emily panted.

I smirked. "What? Did you run up ALL those stairs!?"

She glared at me, then led me to a big door. "The last staircase is in here..." She started.

"No wait that's where..." I began, but Emily had thrown the doors open and gone inside.

I rushed in after her and saw a HUGE room absolutely FILLED with gadgets of all kinds.

Adult Will turned from his desk. "What is it no...Emily?" He looked confusedly from me to other Emily.

"Shoot." Emily muttered.

"Who are you?" Will asked, standing up.

"I'm Emily." I smiled. "Emily Bateman."

"No, my Emily is with her mother at home today." Will shook his head.

"Yeah, well I'm still Emily Bateman." I raised my chin. "Emily JUNE Bateman."

"Emily!? What the...you're a kid!?" Will cried and stumbled back.

"Yeah, but I'm from here, I got sucked into this dimension by accident." I explained. "So did this Emily." I motioned towards Emily.

"HA! AHAHAHAHAHA! YES! I knew I wasn't working on all those devices for nothing!"

"Emily...we need to go..." Emily mumbled.

"K one sec, you get it ready." I nodded.

Emily went up the glass stairs to the roof.

"Wow...this is just...I can't wait to tell Sophie and...and MY Emily and..." Will was ecstatic. "Oh! This! This is just the thing!" He handed me a bunch of little black dots."

"Uh..."

"Just place this inside the hard-drive of whatever device you use, and it should allow you to contact me from your dimension." Will smiled. "Emily this is so great! Just let me know when you get back there and what it's like!" 

I nodded and then he told me his email.

"Um...okay I'm just going to forget that so I'll just give you mine?" I laughed and wrote EmicaSato@gmail.com on a piece of paper.

Now to go and have all of my molecules ripped apart again. Cause that's the most PLEASENTEST thing that I could be doing right now!
