* * * The Time Twister - Page 2

The boys head off to their "Secret Clubhouse" which is a shed in the woods. As they walk down into The Valley they talk about Parker's new things.

"I'm pretty sure it's about time travel," Pandish says. "Travel, travel to the past has to be going back in time. And travel to another world - that must be going into the future."

Before they left, Parker packed everything into his bag. The head sashes, the scrolls, the spinner, and the fighting stars. He attached the around his waist even though it's heavy. Rusty and Pandish find perfect walking sticks in the woods.

"We can fight with these," Rusty shouts as pretends his stick is a weapon. Pandish pretends to fight too.

"Come on Kids," Parker says to them. "Hurry up."

When the boys come to the Big Lake they see some of the other kids playing. Dusty, Bixie, Wolfinna, and Tedds are all playing by the edge of the lake.

"Hey, it's Dusty," Rusty says when he sees his brother. "I hope he wants to go with us."

"Hey, guys," Parker yells over to them. "Want to go to the Secret Clubhouse with us?"

Bixie is having too much fun catching frogs so she doesn't want to go. She would rather play outside than in a dark clubhouse.

"No thanks Parker," she says. 

Tedds hardly looks up as he turns over rocks. 

"Same here," he tells the other guys. "Today's a perfect bug watching day." 

Wolfinna thanks them and says maybe next time. She keeps making ripples in the water with her stick.

Rusty runs off to join them. He was getting tired of throwing stones into the lake.
