Dan was vomiting, Emma was screaming in pain, and Mike was suffering silently.
The trio was now more confused than ever. After hours spent in an almost completely empty space, something had happened, but they didn't understand what, even though they felt like they had already experienced it.
Just like the last time this had happened, it took them a while before they were able to notice their surroundings and even more time before they were able to walk again. Dan was the first one to stand up. He walked a few steps and leaned on a tree.
He then realized that he was leaning onto a tree and started looking at it. He then started looking around and saw: other trees. Many trees actually. Trees, trees everywhere. Realization incoming in....five...four...three.....two...one
"WE GOT TELEPORTED!!!???" He screamed at the top of his lungs "AGAIN!!!???"
They had gotten teleported... again. Mike and Emma started looking around as well.
"WE GOT TELEPORTED!!!????" Emma and Mike asked screaming in unison
"YES!!!"
The smiles on their faces, wider than ever before. Mike and Dan hugged each other in pure joy, while Emma was screaming in happiness.
"Oh my god, GROUND, GROUND!! DIRT! TREES!"
They all hugged each other.
"Oh, oh god." Emma said in relief, while falling to her knees, and quickly afterwards Dan and Mike also sat on the ground.
Their faces were full of relief, and they stayed like that for a while.
"I have never felt this happy realizing that i'm lost in a forest." Dan said, the other two chuckled
"So what happens next?" Mike asked
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what do we do now? We can't stay here in the middle of the woods."
"..."
6:10 p.m
"Daaaan, i'm hungryyyy." Mike said
"I'm hungry too, MICHAEL, but you don't see ME complaining about it, MICHAEL, DO YOU!?!?"
"I'm sorry, but i haven't eaten all day, and we've been walking for how long, now, DANIEL?!? HOURS DANIEL!!!! WE HAVE BEEN WALKING FOR HOURS!!!!"
"WELL YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!!"
"DEAL WITH IT?!?"
"YEAH!!!"
"DEAL WITH IT?!?!?"
"DEAL. WITH. IT."
Their eyes were full of pure hatred for one another.
"Could you guys lower your voices a bit?" Emma asked
The other two looked at her with the eyes of murderers
"I don't want to lose my hearing." She said with a very calm voice
"Why are you so calm? WE. WILL. DIE. HERE." Mike said
"SPEAK FOR YOURSELF MOTHERF***ER!! I AIN'T DYING HEREEEE!!!" Dan screeched
"At least we would be dying on Earth. We could have died in space with no one to care for us, completely alone forever, but now we're not alone, we're home, sweet home Earth. The idea that someone eventually will find our rotting bodies in this forest, and will care enough to try to understand why we died is weirdly comforting." Emma said, with the face of someone that has totally not gotten insane due to the weird occurances that have happened in the span of a day (yes people all that you've read so far happened in one day).
"But what if we're not on sweet home Earth?" Mike asked
"…"
"WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!?!?" Dan asked
"What if we're not home, what if this is something else? What if we got teleported to another wor-"
"That would be ret**ded." Emma said interrupting him
"But is it impossible?"
"Yes Mike, it makes no sense, it's an idea almost as stupid as you are, if that's even possible." She said "You can LITERALLY SEE THE MOON MIKE!" Emma wasn't as calm as before
"I'm not stupid! A-and we got teleported to a rectangle in space and then we got teleported again, nothing makes any sense, and we haven't seen anything that proves that this is Earth! We could be on a planet that hasn't been discovered yet, t-that has a moon very similar to ours!! Same thing with the fact that there's trees! At this point anything is possible!!
I still think that we got abducted by aliens." He said in a way that would make any sane human being question his mental stability
"N-NO, NO, NO WE ARE HOME." Emma said
"I mean going by that line of thinking you could even say that the Earth is flat, or that vaccines make you a lizard person, like, just say that the proof for it isn't valid and you can win any argument." Dan said
"YEAH YOU'RE WRONG AND STUPID, THIS MUST BE EARTH." Emma said
"…f**k. You guys are right, I'm stupid, and those weird words and numbers on top of your heads don't mean anything."
Silence
"What?" Dan and Emma said in unison
"Those words, on top of your heads. On top of your head, Dan, there's your name written, some other stuff and that you're like level 16 or some shit."
"WHAT???!?!???"
On top of Dan's head Mike could see some words and numbers
[Daniel Mann - LEVEL 16]
Skills: Runner {15 points} Thrower {6points}
Charger {4 points} Thrower precision {4 points}
Dan looked at Emma and she noticed the words and numbers on top of his head. Dan did the same.
"WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?" They asked in unison
"You guys hadn't noticed?"
"YOU HAD!?!?!?" they were speaking in unison
"Uhmm, yeah?"
"WHY DIDNT YOU SAY ANYTHING!?!?" Still speaking in unison
"I assumed that you guys had noticed too."
"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?! WERE WE ACTUALLY ABDUCTED BY ALIENS!?!? IS THIS ANOTHER WORLD!?!?" Emma said
"So you guys believe me now?"
" Yes, I mean what if we've been transferred to, like, a computer, maybe we've been transferred to a virtual reality or something." Dan said
"Or maybe we have been taken to a separate dimension from our own entirely, a whole other world."
"Oh god." Emma said with desperation
For some minutes they stayed silent, horrified by their realisation.
"So what now?" Dan asked
"For starters we could get out of this forest." A man said
"Who are you?" Mike asked
"Name's Nick, heard y'all screaming. You kids look like you could use some help, do you?"
"Y-yeah." They all said together
