Excerpt from: The Lane Confusion
It seemed to be an ordinary day in Casa Lane. Trent Lane had slept most of the day, so he was sure that it was. He went into the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator. “Nothing,” he said.

His sister, Jane, also came up. “Nothing,” she also said.

However, a third person unexpectedly came there. “Nothing,” their mother, Amanda, said.

“Oh! Hi, Mom!” Jane said. It was rare that their mother was there.

“What’s that?” Amanda asked, looking at a reddish stain on the otherwise spotless refrigerator shelf. “Cranberry juice?”

“Cherry Soda?” Jane asked.

“Strawberry syrup?” Trent wondered.

“It would be quite difficult otherwise.”

“I agree with Daria,” Sandi said.

“I’m sure there are,” Jenna added.


Tori was still looking for the emerald. She didn’t care that Samara didn’t like her that much or that Marlene had her precious timeline to keep. ‘I’ll find the emerald! Then they’ll see that I have good intentions.’

Excerpt from: Down the Wormhole
However, the people who settled the other side are more than willing to help Robin and his men in combating Gisbourne’s forces. Thus there is a stalemate until the portal closes.

Gisbourne sees the portal close and knows he’s stuck and has to lead the loyalist forces himself. He doesn’t declare himself King, just Sherrif of New Nottingham. Later that day he decides to inform Robin of the change of circumstances.

There is disbelief at first, but with less people arriving, Robin is inclinced to believe it by the end of that year.

The County of New Nottingham is established, lead by Gisbourn as Sheriff. The rebels lead by the Merry Men establish the Republic of Sherwood.

“The TARDIS will continue to parse the data I collected,” the Doctor answered.

“But what are we going to do?” Lauren asked.

Excerpt from: Berk in Time
He pulled a lever nearby.

A trapdoor opened and Hiccup, Spitelout and Snotlout fell down to a lower deck.

“What happened?” Nefertiti asked.

“Oh, great!” Astrid responded.

“Oops!” Tuffnut said.


Hiccup and the Jorgensons found themselves in a large space filled with large tank-like objects. “We’re on a lower deck,” Spitelout pointed.

“Trap doors! I hate trap doors!” Hiccup said. “But what is this ship? Are there dragons down here too?”

“There’s a strange sound, like a cats purr,” Snotlout said.

“I hear it too,” Hiccup said. “Some dragons make such a sound too. Fishlegs would know more. But it seems to regular to be a dragon. It could be some of these machine.” He gestured to the devices around him.

“Any idea what they could be?” Spitelout asked.

“Forges, probably,” Hiccup considered.

Excerpt from: Party at 111 Howard
“Come in.”

Jen entered the room and looked around. “They're all outside?”

“Yes,” Andrea answered.

“I'll come out.”


Daria looked around. The number of people was growing. “This is getting out of control,” she said as she looked near the Gazebo to find Dani talking with a slightly familiar blonde. “I'll join them,” she decided.


“Oh, Daria's coming,” Dani said.

“I see that,” Anna said.

“Hi,” Daria said as she came up.

“How are you doing?” Dani asked, seeing that Daria seemed to be looking around stressfully.

“Better than I expected,” Daria said.

“That's good,” Anna said with a smile.

“And you are?” Daria asked.

“Anna, Anna Coultard.”

“Now I remember,” Daria murmured. “You have a reputation for smiling a lot.”

“I guesss so,” Anna murmured. “As you have a reputation for being antisocial and cutting people up for various reasons.”

“I tell it like I see it,” Daria responded. “But you'll note that I'm not doing it at the moment.”

“That's true,” Anna said. “I thought I would try to befriend Jane and yourself.”

“I'm sure you've also heard that I'm hard to befriend,” Daria said.
