Isabell was eating dinner with her family. She was having a veggie burger while her parents and two brothers had hamburgers. The smell made Isabell feel a little sick. She was a vegetarian. Her brothers were talking about a local baseball game where everything went silent.
Isabell figured that Rich was back to talk, so she headed up the stair two at a time.
"I was wondering when you were going to…" Isabell started when she saw who was standing in her room. It wasn't Rich.
"Where am I?" he asked, his Southern voice confused.
Isabell sat down on her bed. Rich and Justin Timberlake in the same day? That was a little too much to handle.
"Hello?" Justin said, waving a hand in front of her face. "Where am I?"
"Bar Harbor, Maine. Before we say anything else, we have got to get out of the room."
Justin followed Isabell out of her room and she shut the door behind them.
"Why did we leave the room?" Justin asked once they were in the hall.
"If we say the wrong thing with the posters nearby, one of us is going to get transported back to where ever you came from."
"Oh. Who are you anyway."
"Isabell Ozak. What did you sat before you came here?"
'I wish someone would just take me away'."
"Take me away. I knew it."
"How?"
"Never mind. Were you standing in front of a mirror?"
"Yeah. What's going on?"
"I don't know. Maybe some planets are lining up or it's just some kind of time warp."
Justin just stared.
"What? Don't you believe in paranormal activity?"
"Not really."
"What do you think of astrology?"
"I read my horoscope but I don't really believe it."
Isabell rolled her eyes and then said,
"No one's perfect. And by the way, time's frozen."
"What?" shrieked Justin. "That's not possible."
"Really? Try to turn on the radio or go downstairs and try to talk to my family. It's not going to happen."
"How do you know?"
"I was downstairs when you came."
"So how do I get back?"
"Stand in front of the poster and say 'take me back.'
"Can you come to where I am?"
"Yeah."
"Do you think the other guys could do it, too?"
"I really don't know. You'll have to get 'em to do it."
"Okay. I guess I should go back."
"Just wait until I'm back downstairs."
Isabell went down the stairs and sat back at the table. Justin left and her family came back to life.
