''What do you mean we're stuck here?'' Gwen suddenly asked breaking the silence
''Yeah, I mean you just need to get in a car or book a flight and you'll be back home, right?'' Mase asked
''If it was that simple we wouldn't be having this conversation. Now, back to you, why do you think we're stuck here?'' Cal' said
''Vacio doesn't exist here.'' Ben replied
''No, it does. If it didn't, Mr. Wolfhart wouldn't have been able to get to our time and take Lizzie'' Sally said
''Yeah I know, that's why it's weird. Maybe they closed it or something'' Ben said
''We'll figure this out when we get home, haa right, there's no home here. Well let's go to the Wolfhart's house, come on.'' Mitchell said
''Wait, we're leaving already?'' Sally asked
''Yeah, the doctor said he's stable now he just needs to wake up, so we can leave now and just come check on him later. Let's go'' She said
''Alright. Since we're stuck here, why don't we live here?'' Jayce said
''... I don't get it'' Sally said after a short moment of silence
''I mean, since we're stuck here, why don't we... you know...''
''Make a life here?'' Ben guessed
''Yes, that. we have to blend in right?''
''I guess''
''Guys, let's talk about this later, okay?'' Mitchell said ending the conversation
.....
One Month Later...
''What the hell!? Mikey, oh my god'' Cal' said startled as he walked in to find Mikey trying to get out of bed.
For the past month, Mikey has remained in a coma. The kids as well as their guardians, decided to scope out the area and take turns in checking on Mikey at the hospital in batches of two. Today happens to be Cal' and Sally's turn.
''What? What is it? Oh my god'' Sally said as she came running
''He's awake, he's finally awake''
''Yeah''
''How long was I out?'' Mikey asked
''A month''
''Haa, Thank god'' He sighed in relief
''Hmm?'' Cal' asked
''At least it wasn't a year''
''Okay, I'm gonna call the others'' Sally said walking out the room
''Do you remember what happened?'' Cal' asked
''Do I want to?''
''Depends on where your memories stop''
''Umm... we were at the Wolfhart's and fifty people suddenly appeared, I got up and here we are. In a hospital room, just figuring out I've been out for a month.''
''You don't remember going out the door?''
''No, I don't Cal'. But, do I want to?''
''You probably don't''
''Okay, I called and they are on their way'' Sally said walking in
''But, we can get there on our own, they don't have to come?''
''Yeah, I said that, then Mitchell went on and on about checking you up, making sure that you were okay to be sent home, blah blah blah and the others decided to come with''
''I'm sorry, did you just say Mitchell?''
''Yeah''
''...You know what Cal', I think there are some things I would wanna know'' Mikey said and got up
''And there are some things you really don't wanna know'' Cal' said
''What's that supposed to mean?''
''Nothing, where are you going?'' Cal' asked
''To the bath, where else?'' He replied
''Okay, just wanted to know''
''When are they getting here?'' Cal' asked Sally
''I think about now?'' She replied
''Where is he?'' Jacob asked
''Bath''
''Okay''
''Did he seem okay?'' Mitchell asked
''Like he just took a nap, God that scared me half to death'' Sally said
''What?''
''The way he just got up and acted like he literally just took a nap''
''That's Mikey'' Jacob said in a matter-of-fact tone
''I know just, He scared me''
Click, the sound of the door was heard and they turned to look at it
''What?'' He asked
''Okay we've seen him already, let's go'' Jacob suddenly said
''What the- What? To your own son, wow that's cold'' Mikey said
''I meant let's go, all of us''
''Oh, then I guess... okay'' Mikey continued ''Are you sure I'm alive?'' He asked
''What do you mean?'' Mitchell asked
''Umm... Notice anything missing?''
''Oh the headphones, yeah you don't need them anymore'' Cal' said nonchalantly
''Really? Are you sure? What about the gloves?''
''You also don't need that, but be careful though''
''Hahahah Yes! finally''
''Are you that happy?''
''Try living with those things''
''Okay, let's go. People are starting to look at us weird''
''Right, sorry''
........
''So what you're saying is, you took my card and used it to buy a mansion worth 15 million dollars and you went shopping to stock up the wardrobes of everyone here and hired an interior designer to decorate each room according to the taste of the person in it, right?'' Mikey said at the verge of crying
''Yeah, that's about right'' Sally replied ''I mean, what's the point of doing anything if it wouldn't be perfect''
''That's not the point Sally, you used MY card''
''Don't be like that, you're a billionaire, this won't matter to you'' She said
''My money. How much did you spend in total?''
''30 million''
''What!? 30 million dollars!? of MY money!?''
''Don't be such a killjoy. It was well worth it''
''Mikey, why don't you calm down let's get inside first'' Cal' said
''You were here when she did all this?''
''Come on, you also got something out of it. Don't be mad'' Sally said
''How did you even get it? my account is locked'' Mikey asked
''Cal' gave it to me''
''Cal'!''
''She got Lizzie on her side, I couldn't say no''
''Lizzie!?''
''She promised me three thousand dollars'' Lizzie said
''You did what!?'' He turned to Sally
''Umm... Oh look, we're here'' She said diverting his attention
Mikey looked out the window and right outside was a mansion, it was more like a castle found in fantasy books, but without the intricate carvings on it. It was all white and large. It was beautiful. But...
''You could have gotten this for half the money you spent'' Mikey said
... It just wasn't worth 15 million dollars
''Stop complaining and get inside'' Jacob said
Getting inside, Mikey was directed to his own room, which he loved but wouldn't say so.
......
A few hours later...
''We wanted to let you know, that you're starting school next week'' Mitchell said
''... I'm sorry, What?'' Mikey asked
''Just because we're stuck here doesn't mean, you won't go to school''
''But-''
''No buts, you're going to school. But first you need a haircut'' Jacob said
''I would love one'' Mikey said
''Well, let's go''
