This is my first story so please don't make fun of it.

It has been for years since the war of time and Gregor and his family haven't moved to Virginia. Well he was suffering and welcome to the life of boringness.

Ever since he got back to the overland, Gregor hung out with his friends Larry and Angelina. When Gregor was about thirteen he made a new friend named Ernest nicknamed Ern or Erny.

When Gregor got back he tried playing saxophone again but failed. When Ernest invited Gregor and his friends over, he showed Gregor how to play an eletric guitar. Gregor learned emediatly and played the hardest song on the list, The Middle, perfectly. So the friends became a band. Gregor had the guitar, Larry the drums, Ernest the bass, and Angelina the classic rock organ (a type of piano).

Tommarow is the day of the talent show. Obviously the friends are doing a song. Gregor decided to make a song he called it The War of Time. "Come on guys we need to practice!" Gregor said dissapointed. "Yah but I'm to excited for tommarow," Ernest mumbled.

A few hours later they had all finished studying for the talent show. "We are ready lets get some snacks," Larry said. "Yah I'm starved," Angelina agreed. "Food lovers," Gregor thought. The friends had dinner at Larry's house that night. As always Gregor ate the most food. His friends looked at him in awe. "Well I had better get going," Gregor announced. "Bye!" his friends called.

When he got home, Gregor's mom said, "Go get ready for bed." Gregor then went to his bed to find his black pjs in his dresser. He put them on, brushed his teeth, and then went to bed.

That night Gregor dreamed of Luxa the first time they kissed in the musseum. He rember the picture they took of them. The picture is always safe with Gregor in his hidden compartment in his lamp.

The scene changed and Gregor was is a black room. In front of him was a stick, but not just a stick. It was covered in ancient markings and it was made of a dark blue shifting material. "It waits for you," a voice said. "Who are you?" Gregor asked. He looked around for the voice. "You will know soon," the voice replied, "It is only important that you find this object or your friends will be destroyed."

The scene changed again. What he saw was the city of Regalia in ruins. He saw Luxa dead with tons of cuts. "No!" Gregor cried. He looked around he saw many of his friends lying dead. "You can prevent this by finding the object I showed you. You will be back with your friends soon enough," the voice said, "Now you must get back to the underland as fast as you can. There will be an escort."

Gregor woke from his sleep. He was sweating. He looked at his alarm clock. It was 7:10am so he got up and got ready for the day. He put on his clothes, ate breakfast, said good bye to his family, and went to school.

When he got to school, he met up with his friends. "How's it going guys," he said. "Great!" his friends replied. Angelina looked at Gregor all dreamily.

Later during school the friends got ready for the talent show. Gregor got his guitar. The friends got up on stage the room was dark except for the lights on the stage.

The friends started playing the War of Time. When they finished the song, they bowed and hot off stage. When the judges decided what was most talented, They announced that Gregor's team had won.

When Gregor and his friends got into the hall. Zoey (only the most popular girl in the school) came up to him. "Hey Gregor would you like to watch a movie with me on Saturday?" she asked him. To which Gregor replied, "Sorry I have plans and I don't date." She looked hurt and walked away.

"Hey Ratmouth!" Brad (the only bully who wasn't afraid of Gregor) said, "Congrats now give me ten bucks." Brad and his friends laughed. "No," Gregor said. "What?" Brad said. There was now a huge crowd around the two. "I'm not giving you any money," Gregor replied. "Now let me put my fist in your face!" Brad said angrily. There was a lot of oohs and aws. "Give it your best shot," Gregor said.

Brad threw a punch at Gregor but he missed. Gregor threw a kick around and hit Brad in the chest. He then punched Brad in the back and imediatly knocked him out. Brad's friends looked frightened and ran away. Everyone around him looked shocked. "Well it is about time you people get home!" Gregor yelled and left. "Gregor wait up!" his friends called, "Can we watch a movie at your house tonight?" Gregor looked at his friends. "Sure," He replied.

When Gregor and his friends got to his apartment, he asked, "So what movie do you want to watch?" His friends looked at the movies. "How about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince," Ernest suggested. His friends nodded. "I'll make the popcorn," Gregor said.

When the movie was over Gregor's friends stayed for dinner. They were having Mrs. Cormaci's salad with shrimp and cream sauce. As always Gregor was done befor everyone else. At the end of dinner they had dessert. Homemade icecream made by Lizzie and Mrs. Cormaci. Gregor's dad looked excited.

When they were halfway through dessert, there was the sound a scratching sound. "What is that?!" Angelina shrieked. It looked like Gregor's mom knew exactly what Gregor thought. "Rats hundreds of them," he said. Then a giant rat came into the room. It had two scars forming an X over one of its eyes. Gregors friends looked at it in horror, but even more terrified when it spoke. "I hope you left me some shrimp," it said.

"Ripred," Gregor exhaled.

-Question: What is Ripred doing there?-
