Time Shards - RP

(((We're in the time machine capsules and started the experiment. Time machine went boom boom)))

She stared. "So this is it?" Disappointed, she turned away- and then she felt a feeling, a spinning feeling. All too soon it was over. But then, it continued up again, seeming less controlled this time. She screamed and tried to see, but her vision was spinning too fast.

Suddenly the machine started! Summer was so excited, but then she felt as if she had fallen out of the time machine. Her vision went black and she felt like she was flying... Then she hit the ground with a thud, and she opened her eyes slowly. She had time travelled to the past! Oh no! She could see the broken machine just a few feet away from her. Everyone else was there, too, but some weren't awake. She felt something in her hand, and when she looked down, it was a shard. Must be from the machine, she thought. It was blue, her favorite color. But how'd it end up in my hand? she wondered.

Aria woke up, her back aching. Looking down at her clothes, she knew something was wrong. She was wearing clothes worn by old people! Opening her hand, she found a rose pink shard. "Hey Summer," she said. "What do you think happened?"

Summer looked at her in disbelief. "Aria, what happened to your clothes?" Then she looked down to see she was wearing an old blue dress, choker, and flats. "This is unbelievable! I don't know what happened to the machine, but... How will we get home?" she asked nervously.

Alyssa heard a boom. She fell into the ground. "W-what happened?"

Summer turned to Alyssa. "We... um... time travelled," she said with a frown. "But we cant go home," she pointed to the broken machine, thinking to herself, this is a nightmare...

Ella felt lighter and was light headed for a moment. Then, she saw some of the other girls. "Hey, why'd you guys change clothes?" She asked, confused

Summer bit her lip and spoke to Ella. "Uh... you might want to look down," she said, pointing to her outfit.

Ella looked down. What?? she thought, staring at an old fashioned dress. "What's the year? This looks like the sometime 200 years ago.."

"Somewhere in the 1800's," Summer said with a sigh. "I don't know what we're going to do... We're homeless, we have no money, and we have no idea where we even are!" Summer felt like crying, but she didn't. She just stood there looking up at the sky with a frown, as if the dark, dark clouds that were rolling by would help her. "And to make matters worse, it looks like we're about to have a storm."

"Uh oh..We better take cover then," Ella said, concerned. "But the real question is..Where?" she looked around, and pointed to a large cardboard box being held up by large bins that probably held garbage.

"Chastity, what can you tell us about this place?" Aria asked. She felt weird and ridiculous asking that girl a question. Aria walked to see how her black high heels would feel and sure enough, she fell. "I hate it here," Aria whispered, embarrassed. "Maybe there's a town somewhere. For all we know, the Professor wasn't born yet."

"I always do that in heels," Summer said, laughing. "The only time I wore them, though, was when I was little and used to dress in my mother's..." She teared up a bit. "But my mom is dead now," She said quietly. Summer quickly wiped away her tears and looked at where Ella was pointing to. "Yeah, lets go."

Ella went under it, with Summer. Then, she said to Aria, "Well, I hope there's a town somewhere, or else we'll probably die out here."

She nodded then turned to Summer."Oh, I-I'm so sorry, but it's the 1800's so your mom isn't even born yet," she whispered. Aria didn't talk about her mom because she dreaded talking about that conceded lady. She followed Summer and Ella to where they were going.

"Yea," Summer replied, her voice still quiet. Then she cleared her throat. "I know it will be cold out here, but we should go to the town tomorrow, because the rain is going to come pouring down even harder than it is now any minute, and we could get a cold from going out in the rain, but this cardboard should keep us dry enough."

Ella looked at the sky. It was even more dull and gray. All of a sudden, it started raining. "Phew. At least we have shelter under all this rain," she said. But it probably wasn't going to last long. "Yeah, we should head into town, as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Hey, I just saw Chastity head that way," Ella said, pointing to the direction Chastity had gone. Where could she be going? There aren't many places she could be...Unless she was heading to town already.

Aria found herself following Chastity. "D-Do you think Chastity knows where town is?" Aria asked as she tried to scrape dirt out of her dress? Who knew 1810 was such a filthy place!

"Me too, but I don't think we should... Unless you want to. But I'll just stay here," Summer said, frowning.

"Yeah...It's kinda dangerous now in the storm, but if it stops raining, I'll go," Ella said looking at the sky again.
