OK, this is just the first chapter. It might start out slow and with school it might be a little while before I get up and chapter after 4. I am working on that one right now. REVIEW AND FAVORITE PLEASE!!

"Pass me the chips, will ya Sam?" Fred mumbled, which I think was disgusting, considering his mouth was already full of marshmallows.

"You're repulsive!" Sam replied, but still surrendered the chips.

It was 1:00 AM, and we were all situated under the tent we made earlier with my bed-sheet. We were passing around snacks (Sneaked out of the pantry by, yours truly.) and reading The Book. This is what we usually did on our rare sleep-overs. (They were rare because we always got in trouble together, especially at night.) That and set Anna's clock to go off SUPER loud at 4:00 AM. Right now we were on page 252 (Impressive?) and reading about Black Beard's Adventures.

"That guy STILL gives me nightmares!" Sam squeaked, and then he shuddered, one of those geeky ones you usually get before you are pounded into raw meat.

Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Book can take you through time and space, and we accidentally warped and almost got killed by Black Beard, which is probably why Sam The Geek gets nightmares from the guy. Give us a break! We didn't know what it could do I had only had it for like, 5 minutes! Well anyways, that was on my 10th birthday, and now I'm 11! Over a year ago! We are TOTAL pros now. Well, maybe not.

Suddenly the light flicked on and I could see my moms figure through the sheet.

"Mom!" I whined. No matter HOW many times I told my mom NOT to interrupt my sleep overs, she STILL did!

"Joe... my mom yawned. She must've heard us and woke up. "It's 1:00 AM. Go to sleep. She lifted u the sheet and her eyes widened at all the snacks we had under there. Her eyes slid on The Book, but they didn't hold long. Luckily, she had no idea it was a magic book that can take you through time and space. If she found out, I would be SO grounded.

"But before you do so," Oh no. A CHORE list. "Put away ALL the snacks. And you shouldn't have that book out with guests here. It was a gift from your Uncle Joe! You wouldn't want something to happen with it, would you?" She asked, even though she already knew the answer.

"No." I grumbled. I HATED when she pulled the 'You Might Hurt the Relative's Feelings' on me.

"Then go to BED." My mom left the room. (Finally!)

Later that night, when we put away the snacks (And more importantly, The Book) we were lying down when Sam said something that made me actually THINK.

"Are you sure your mom doesn't know about The Book being.... you know magic?" He asked.

"Of course!" I replied. Why would she?

"Well think!" Sam lectured. "When your mom told us to put it away for instance. She said happen with it, as in warping or maybe even Mad Jack stealing The Book, instead of saying happen to it, like it getting ripped." There was a long silence. I was surprised he caught that. I didn't. (And we ALL know Fred didn't.) Instead of answering, I faked a loud, deep yawn (They WERE contagious) and muttered,

"Go to sleep, Sam."

Then I feel into a deep sleep.
