"Okay why are there so many people here? I thought this place was like - I don't know - secluded?" Lia asked all the people standing there in front of a fence with a big hole! Burned with a sword! Which she gave battery to! What the heck was going on? She felt like Zack was the one to know, so she turned to him: "What's going on?"
(Want to add:)
And then she turned to the new girl: "And actually I don't know what he's up to." she reached out her hand "I'm Lia, and you?"
"Scarlett, and who's he?" Scarlett shook Lia's hand.
Kaitlyn went inside and threw on her clothes and grabbed her bag. Like she was just going to let them go.
"That's Zack. Yeah, I don't know more about him, he's just Zack." Lia smiled.
"Just Zack?" Zack replied incredulously. "I'll have you know that I'm the number one outlaw in a kingdom that's currently set on killing me. Let's just say that I may have broken a law or two in a super-strict empire from another dimension. Or three. Or four. Or five. You know what? I'll be honest. I may have killed their narcissistic idiot of a prince."
"You, what! You have actually killed someone?" Lia grinned "You know what, that makes you even more nice. So were are we going?"
"I'm trying to find the next dimension portal. It opens for an hour once per week, and I can't miss it. According to Siri, it's a couple of blocks away. I just need to get away from that empire. I'm not in the mood to die today," Zack said.
"Fine, so let's go. And don't even think about going alone! I did not give you those batteries just to go away and meet my stalker." Lia hoped they wouldn't ask her about that, but if you mention a stalker, most of the time people get confused. Out of reflex she sighed. She always did dad when she thought about Sophie.
Zack didn't question her. "To somewhere that's not here and beyond!" he smiled.
And finally he started to move. Lia looked at Scarlett who seemed really friendly. And then she followed Zack.
Scarlett whooped and followed the two. An adventure when she least expected one? Awesome!
Lia, Zack, and Scarlett jumped through the hole in the fence and covered three blocks with ease. "Alrighty, so I think the dimension portal is on…" Zack slowed down. "McLaughlin Street, I'm pretty sure. Or McRaugen Street. Or McConklin Street. Well, it's a Mc-Something Street, I know that. I'm totally lost."
"Well, that's bad. I have never been here, so." Lia hoped Scarlett knew where to find this Mc-something street.
"Well, can you think of any landmarks you saw on this Mc-Something Street?" Scarlett interjected. Hopefully something could jog Zack's memory. If not, well, they could always just hang around.
Walking up to them Kaitlyn said "Well the only Mc-something street around here is McDaniel street."
"OK great, how do we get there?" Scarlett asked the new girl. Hopefully she wasn't evil, oops.
"I'll take you there. It's about a ten minute walk from here."
"Coolio. Let's go!" Zack said.
Kaitlyn started walking towards the street. Suddenly she stopped. "Does anybody else hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"That sound. It sounds like… I don't know. Forget about it."
