A/N: This story came from the minds of me and my best friend. We were talking about National Treasure and what we would say were we in the movie. And then I developed two OCs using that idea. This is written in the POV of one of those OCs, who is named Kathleen.
By the way, I
I was at my best friend's house, getting ready to watch a movie. That wouldn't be very exciting to most of you, but you don't know anything about my friend. Her TV sucks us into what we're watching. I'm not lying. You want proof? This story is proof.
Anyway, we were going to watch my favorite movie of all time, National Treasure. We pop it in. Then, the screen turns to static, and we conveniently remember that her TV sucks us. Well, by now, it's too late.
The next thing I know, I'm on the ground, and I'm wet and cold.
"Can we not have a normal day?" Nicole cried in exasperation. I sat up, brushing snow from my hair.
"I guess not. Especially when we watch your television." I sighed. Then I saw two snow mobiles on the horizon. Nicole and I started jumping up and down like mad to get their attention. They stopped, and a man, who looks about thirty, got out. We both knew who that man was, of course, especially me, since I'd seen this movie a million times. It was Ben Gates.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"No, we're just two teenage girls stuck in the Arctic." Nicole snapped. "Of course you can help us!"
"Can we have a ride?" I asked, trying to be somewhat polite and save Nicole.
"I suppose." Ben blinked. Nicole and I climbed into the snowmobile, into the back. Even though I knew he'd be there, I still couldn't believe it when I saw Riley sitting there, in all his cuteness. He hardly noticed us though.
"At least we're in a PG movie." Nicole whispered.
"Yeah, this could be worse." I pointed out. Suddenly Riley looked up, letting out a little shout of surprise
"Uh…Ben, why are there two teenage girls sitting next to me? Am I missing something?"
"I found them out in the snow. They need a ride." Ben told him. We started driving again.
"So, what are you two talking about?" Riley asked curiously. I shifted a little in my seat. How do we explain this to him?
"You want the truth?" I asked slowly.
"Yeah, we're dying to know." I was pretty sure this was sarcasm, but I wasn't quite sure. I didn't know Ben could be sarcastic
"Well…" Nicole began "You asked. I have a TV that sucks me and Kathleen into whatever it is we're watching. We were watching this, so we ended up here."
"Right. Magic TV." Riley replied sarcastically. I could already tell Nicoleand Riley weren't quite hitting it off.
"You asked."
"Really wish I hadn't."
"Fine, be that way." Nicole crossed her arms and actually stayed quiet for a moment, much to my relief
"Ben, these girls have issues." Riley told him.
"I don't know, it seems kind of believable." Ben said slowly.
"Yeah, two teenagers reaching the middle of the arctic via a magic TV is believable!" Riley exclaimed.
"What kind of answer were you expecting, exactly?" Nicole asked him.
"I don't know." Riley gave up. "You were looking for Santa?"
"Oh, that's reasonable! Besides, if he existed he would have frozen to death by now!" Nicole exclaimed.
"I'm guessing you're cold?" I asked.
"We've got extra coats." Ben suggested. Ian threw them back at us. Until now, I hadn't even noticed him.
"Hello to you, too." Nicole said irritably, pulling on the warm coat that was at least 5 sizes too big for her. She didn't really seem to care, though.
"So what are you doing here, anyway?" Nicole asked. I rolled my eyes.
"You should know that." I reminded her
"Well, I'm not a fanatic like some people I could mention." She replied, staring at me.
"I'm not a fanatic! I'm just…just…just passionate." I defended myself. I think she groaned. I knew this would be a long treasure hunt.
