      "Mom! I can't find my backpack!" Evie yelled 

frantically. She was in her room getting ready for 

school.

      "Maybe you should clean you room!" Her mother 

replied in a yell " It looks like a train wrecked in your 

room when you were sleeping!"Finally she found her 

backpack and hurried to the bus stop. Her mother 

glanced at the clock." Tell Leon to hurry up and get to 

the bus stop." Leon was Evie's older brother, He liked 

to show off in front of crowds. He also had a lot of 

friends. Evie dragged her brother out the door and 

found her friend Francessca at the bus stop.

      "Hey," Francessca said in a timid voice. She 

was a shy girl with long brown hair that 

covered half of her face. She didn't like to draw 

attention to herself so she stayed in the 

shadows reading suspense novels. She couldn't 

figure out why or how her and Evie became 

best friends. They were so different. Evie was a 

daring and curious girl, she could and would do 

anything to answer a question that she had. 

Francessca often skipped lunch because of the 

crowds she would have to face.

       As soon as they got to school, They quickly to 

walked to their classrooms to get ready for class. 

Leon found his best friend Wyatt. Wyatt is the 

smart one. If somebody asked him why the food 

chain was so disgusting, he would give   them a 

perfectly reasonable explanation. Wyatt was not so 

shy but couldn't stand up for himself. Once they 

got to their classroom Francessca and Evie got to 

work.

       "Francessca," Evie said "Do you want to come 

over this afternoon?"

       " Sure," Francessca whispered. 

        As soon as the bell rang, the entire grade 

rushed to the lunch room. Francessca and Evie got 

their lunch, but soon dashed to the courtyard for 

some peace and quiet. Not long after they sat down, 

Leon and Wyatt found the two girls.

       "What are you doing here?" Evie asked 

annoyed.

       Leon rolled his eyes, "Same as you, eating 

lunch."

Evie didn't like this idea. Her and Leon didn't get 

along very well.

     After lunch Leon, Wyatt, Evie, and Francessca 

were on their way to Evie and Leon's house.

When they were in the house, they went their separate 

ways. Evie and Francessca in Evie's room, and Leon 

and Wyatt in Leon's.

      "Sorry about my room," Evie said " It's a little 

messy." She walked to her bed hoping to find her new 

suspense novel but had no luck in finding it." I had a 

new book but I can't find it." Evie walked over to her 

dresser to look in her music box, but it wasn't there 

either.

        "I'll help!" Francessca offered. They both searched 

through out the room but found nothing. 

Evie looked under her rug. She found her new 

novel, but found something else as well. They 

were wooden bars with metal wires. They had 

scratches on them like they had been used.

     "Leon!" Evie screamed "Leon come here 

quick!" Leon came in rushing through the hallway, 

with Wyatt right behind him.

      "What's the problem?" Leon asked in alarm. 

His face was bright red and he was ready to call 

911 if anything was really wrong. He looked under 

Evie's rug, and saw that it could only be one 

thing."Train tracks." 

     "But how." Evie asked. This question was 

pointed at Wyatt." Go on Mr. Smarty Pants." Evie 

said. Wyatt was confused. He just couldn't think of 

an explanation.

      "I don't know." He whispered. Everybody was 

shocked. Those words hadn't come out of is mouth 

in forever.

       "What?" Evie asked "You're supposed to be 

some super smart person and know everything." 

All of a sudden, the ground started to shake. 

Immediately they took cover as if there was going 

to be an earthquake. They windows flew open 

revealing a dark tunnel.   

 All of a sudden a brilliant light lit up the tunnel 

and then a whistle blew.

    "Train!" Wyatt screamed"Get away from the 

window!" They backed away and hid under Evie's 

bed, leaving Francessca behind. She was standing 

right in front of the window where the train was about 

to be. She didn't know what to think. She wanted to 

run but froze. The train was 20 feet away, 15 feet, 10 

feet, 5 feet, 2 feet. Then it came to a halt. Right in 

front of Francessca.

     "Hey!" a voice called from the front of the train. The 

voice was low."Can anybody tell me where I am?" The 

owner of the voice walked out from behind the engine. It 

was a girl she was tall and was wearing a dress with 

clocks on it. She seemed lost.

      "Who are you?" Evie asked in a quiet voice.

       "The name's Cami." Cami answered. Evie took a 

long stare at her. "Now where am I?" she asked for the 

final time.

       "You're in my room." Evie replied. Cami sighed.

       "Come with me," Cami said "And bring something 

to do, it's going to be a long ride." 

     "Why should we come with you?" Leon asked.

     "Do you see this place?" Cami asked. "You have 

nowhere else to go." The children took a long look 

around. The only things that they saw were the messy 

room and the tunnel. 

     "Where's the door?" Francessca asked in a worried 

whisper. 

     "The only exit is the tunnel," Wyatt commented.

     "Leon," Evie said "We need to go with her.   Leon 

thought hard.

     "I guess so." Leon said. The tunnel was large. By the 

time they had traveled for ten minutes, They could see 

colorful lights peering through the trees.
