“Okay. Hold onto me.”

“Isn’t that Spencer’s job?” Kyla joked placing her hands on her hips and refusing to embrace her older sister. Ashley shot a worried look over to the timer which now said that they had only a minute and a half to evacuate.

“If there’s any space between us, parts of you will end up in another dimension and I am so not explaining that to everyone at Holiday time,” Ashley argued pulling her flesh and blood close to her. Kyla’s hands came around her back and they squeezed inside of the machine. It was a tight fit and both girls squirmed trying to find a comfortable position.

“I swear if I lose my clothes I’m going to kill you,” Kyla muttered into the mouthful of Ashley’s curls that she had in her mouth.

“Oh wait! I have to get my shirt!” Ashley bounded out of the machine and slid across the room snatching the gray T-shirt from the desk in the corner. The timer was now sitting at thirty seconds and she stepped in front of Kyla. “How does my hair look?”

“Oh for the love of an ALIEN! Get your ass in this time machine Ashley Elizabeth DAVIES! I’m not telling you again!”

“Wait wait. Glasses. They make me look smarter right?” Ashley inquired as she slipped the black framed reading glasses onto her face. Kyla reached out and pulled her into the machine forcefully.

“No. You can still see your face,” she answered shutting her eyes tightly. Ashley wrapped her arms around her sister and took a deep breath. The air hung heavily around them and Ashley could feel the static charges building up all around her.

“Okay. Hang on. This is going to hurt.”

“What?!” Kyla screeched trying to worm her way out of the machine. Ashley kept a strong grip on her however, and pulled her tighter.

“Just hold on to me. Here we go,” Ashley said. Kyla’s hands drifted down her back and in her nervousness landed on Ashley’s behind. The brunette jumped a foot into the air and glared at her sister. “KYLA! HANDS!”

“EW EW! INCEST!” Squealed Kyla. She quickly wrapped her arms around Ashley’s neck and hugged her tightly. Just then a blast of pain hit her and she nearly lost contact. The older girl was used to the pain and by now had gone completely numb to the sting of time as it ripped them backward. Kyla was not used to it. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she felt her body being shredded into a thousand tiny little pieces. Before she blacked out, Kyla remembered only one thing and that was watching the smile on Ashley’s face grow as they were enveloped by a bright white light.
