A Blast to the Past

By Jahsmun the Jovial





So it's Jasmine here and I'm the newest member, but I figured you already knew that.  I'm going to be telling you a story about the time the Fearsome Foursome travels back in time.  It's going to be really really really cool!  You should seriously read it sometime.
"Get to the point!"  shouted Becki.
"I'll get her to the point," mumbled Katelyn.  She came up behind me and whacked me with Lindsey's cricket bat. Okay, okay, here's the story!!




"MUAHAHAHAHA," laughed Dr.Franks. "I got you right where I want you," he said as he backed us into a corner between the stage and the tent wall.
Lindsey looked down and noticed a loose nail.  "Psst Emily, you think you could help me get this nail out?"
Emily helped Lindsey work the nail out, it didn't take much since it was almost out anyways.  Lindsey walked over to the tent wall and cut a huge hole in it with the nail.
"Quick guys, RUN!" Emily screamed.




2 HOURS LATER...



We were lost in the woods, we had already run about 2 miles in Victorian style dresses and it was about 90 degrees outside.
"Can we rest?" whined Katelyn for like the kazillionth time.
Becki turned around and scowled at her, "Can you hush? Dr. Julius could be anywhere and if you're complaining then he's going to hear us!"
Katelyn backed away from Becki with a look of fright and began running again.
"Look there's a river!" I shouted.
"Great! We can take a break there." Becki said.
"Hey, Kataleen, why don't you give us some clothes out your backpack?"  Lindsey asked.
Katelyn nodded and started handing out sweatpants, shirts, socks and running shoes.
"WOW!  You really do have everything in that bag!"  I shouted excitedly.
Katelyn smiled and replied, "I always knew this thing would come in handy."
"Uhm, girls, I'm sorry but I have to go home," said Emily as she was taking out her wishing sock, "the party was really fun and once again congrats to you Jasmine for becoming the fourth member." Emily hugged everyone, whispered to the sock to take her home then vanished.
"Okay girls! We gotta get moving," Katelyn said as she was stuffing the last dress in her backpack.

***********************************************************************************

"I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE STILL LOST IN THESE WOODS!" Becki screamed in frustration right before tripping over something. "What the---No! It can't be, but it is....IT'S A TRANSMOGIFIER!!!! I've wanted one for so long and now I finally got it!"
Becki turned around, giggling, her eyes big.
"I'm not sure...but I think Becki has gone crazy!" I said turning to face Lindsey and Katelyn who looked scared to see Becki this way.  Eventually we began walking again while keeping an eye on Becki, who was dragging the trans-whatever with her and talking to it.
Yep, she's totally lost it. I thought.


5 HOURS LATER

"We have been lost in these woods for almost for about 7 hours now," Katelyn said. "We'll never get home."
     "Dearest Katelyn, do not fear for we will get you home to your mommy." Lindsey said mockingly.
(You see there's this ongoing joke about Katelyn being the baby of the group.We pick at her not only because it's true but because it makes her mad.) Katelyn stormed off and went sat off by a tree.
"Really Linzee?You couldn't pick a better time to pick at her?" I sighed.
Lindsey looked at me in defeat then went over to talk to Katelyn.
"Hey guys, look what I found!" I shouted.
"What is is?" Becki asked, snapping back to reality.
"It's a time machine in the form of a pen.I've heard of these but never seen one until now. So....where do y'all wanna go?"
"Hmmmm, how about to Laura I. Wilder's time." Becki suggested.
I set the time period, grabbed everyone's hand, and pushed the button.

"Everyone hold on!"

"AHHHHHH it's all black, I can't see!"
*
*

"THUMP!" We all landed hard on the ground. We looked around and saw crowds of people yelling "BURN HER, BURN HER!" We squeezed through the crowds to see what was going on and saw women burning on stakes.
"JASMINE THIS ISN'T LAURA'S TIME,THIS IS THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS!" Becki yelled, terrified.
 People turned and faced us.
"WITCHES!" they yelled, and before we knew what was happening we were being tied to burning stakes too.
We were all tied together on one stake, so I set the time period to the day after my party, touched the other girls and pushed the button just as the flames were about to lick our shoes.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Not the dark again!"

"CLANK" We landed in a....cage!? We looked around. We were in a dimly lit room filled with caged children and animals. A man walked up to our cage, but he wasn't just any man, he was Dr. Franks!
"Welcome to my lab. We are currently under Crazy Cape Mental Institute. This is where I test things out and make the medicine. I programmed that pen so it would eventually take you here. You see, you can't outsmart me. I'm the bad guy and I will always, ALWAYS win!"
We all exchanged glances,we could see tears in each others eyes. We were absolutely horrified as we watched Dr.Franks take a baby lion out of a nearby cage and start injecting it with needles the size of Texas!! I began to cry because I love animals and can't stand to see the harmed. I looked at the other girls and saw that they were crying too.
"It's gonna be okay. We'll get out of here, and we'll set the animals and children free too," Becki said, while hugging me. Soon Lindsey and Katelyn joined in as a group hug.
That night, we took turns sleeping in shifts. If someone came to our cage we were to inform the others. We had a better chance at fighting together rather than alone. Becki took first shift, I took second, Katelyn took third and Lindsey took last. Come to find out, there was no activity during the night, but we still were not about to take any chances.
The next morning, we used a bobby pin from Katelyn's bag and picked the lock, then we helped get all the animals and children out of their cages and back to their homes.
"Ready to go visit Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder?"
We all turned to each other, nodded in agreement, held hands, and right before I hit the button I said, "Kataleen? When we get back home the pen goes in your bag for future reference."
"M'kay," she replied with a smile."
Just like that we were off to the year 1900 when Laura was 33.
