| Chapter 22 - Roses "WAIT!!!!" Roses yelled. "What?" several of the other girls said, looking at her. "I can't go. What am I thinking?" Holli sighed. "Why not?" "Because I cannot go into yet another parallel dimension searching for Roseidous, of all people. I must stay in Budapest." "Well, okay then, if you have to." Ann said sadly. "Yeah, we'll miss you on this adventure." Katherine said. "Well, girls, it's not so bad. I mean, just think of it this way. I may make a dramatic reappearance in the final chapter to rescue you all. Wouldn't that be fun? Then I could take all the credit for it. Perfect solution. So go and have fun without me." *** Two weeks later... Roses sat at her computer, bored, because no one was online. They were all in another universe supposedly still searching for Pen. Not Roseidous. She vaguely wondered how things were going, but decided she didn't really want to know. She checked her email, as usual. "Junk, Junk, don't want to talk to him, junk, more junk, letter from Holli, junk....wait. Holli? They're back? Already?" She stared at the title which read: "We are in lots of trouble, please come help us" Roses debated with herself. "Do I really want to click on this?" "No, you don't." "But, they need my help." "They'll be fine." "Are you sure?" "No, but you'll regret it if you click on that." "Well, I have to help them." "You'll be sorry." She clicked on it and read: Dear Roses, we are no longer stuck in the other dimension. We have Pen/cil back. We also have Roseidous. Sorry. However, when we got back to this dimension, we found ourselves on a deserted island. Or so we thought. We are in the custody of the natives. They think that Roseidous is their long, lost king. We've used all the metal we can find to build this computer. Hopefully, it will work. Please come rescue us before we go insane. Hurry up. From, Holli, Ann, Katherine, Jaina, Tails, Nothlit, Tyrael, Josh, Chris, Crayak, and Pen. Roses sighed. Then debated with herself again. "Do I have to go rescue them?" "Of course you do." "I really don't." "But they're stuck with Roseidous as king." "That's true, but I can't rescue them all alone. They're the people I would take on a rescue mission." "Well, who else can help?" "No, not them." "They're the only ones available." "They'll drive me crazy." "They're your only choice." *** Twenty minutes later... "Is TAS there?......Oh, he's outside with Cait?......Sure, I'll hang on, thanks TAS's mommy......." "Hello?" "TAS-man?" "Who are you and how did you get this number?" "This is Roses, you gave it to me." "Oh, hi!!!!....Cait-dog! Say hi to Roses!!!!......He says hi!!!" "Um, hi." "So, whatcha' want?" "Actually, as much as I regret this, I need your help on a rescue mission. Can you meet me at the airport in an hour?" "OOOOHHHH!!!!! A mission!!!! Cait-Dog, get the rope, the backpacks with the non-perishable food items, and the comic books!" "Is all that necessary?" "Of course! I'll get my mommy to drive us to the airport, see you there!!! Bye!!!!....Cait-Dog, say bye!.....He says bye!!!!" "Yes, um, bye TAS-man." Roses sighed, packed her sunscreen, bug spray, and travel clothes, and drove to the airport. << Chapter 20 Back to Home |
