Amelia Earhart

"Birger... I can't believe it. You singlehandedly ruined the lives of four children, let Randy get away, and inspired one of the books of all time... in forty-five minutes. You've really outdone yourself this time," Axel said.
"Oh, stop!" I said bashfully.
"Gladly," Axel said gloomily. "I mean, what're we gonna do? Our plan is totally ruined. Where's Randy?"
"Wait!" I said. "Don't-say-anything. This always works. I wish I knew where Randy was so I could go tell him I don't want to be his BFF anymore and never want to see him again."
A rock flew through the window. A piece of paper was wrapped around the rock and it had written on it: Stalking Amelia Earhart on her worldwide solo voyage.
"I knew it would work!" I said happily.
"Wow, through all those times of being stalked, Birger actually figured out something. Nice move, Birger," Rosa said.
"Thanks," I said. "Gee, who's Amelia Eerhaert?"
"Earhart," Axel corrected. "And she was a very famous--you won't understand even if I try to tell you guys, so let's just go."
"Are you saying that we're dumb?" Rosa asked angrily.
Axel made coughing noises and pretended to scratch his head but was really pointing at me. Aw, how cute. They've created their own little sign-language.
"Can I learn it?" I asked.
"Learn what?" Rosa asked.
"Your sign language with Axel."
"Um, sorry, Birger, I don't have a sign language with Axel..."
"Yes you do. And it's a secret. But can you pleeeeeze tell me?"
Axel and Rosa exchanged glances. "Um... if we told you, then it wouldn't be a secret anymore, right?" they asked.
"You're right," I said glumly, slouching downward. "Well, let's go meet this famous Amelia person. Oh, but first I have to go to the bathroom."
"Thanks for sharing, Birg," Rosa said.
So, later Axel made the purple hole and I went first this time. Then Rosa followed and last Axel and the usual tickling sensation commensed.
We were thrown out onto the plane with that Amelia lady.
"Oh my! Who are you and how did you get here?" a woman who I'm assuming was Amelia shouted.
"Well, I'm Birger," I explained. "This is Rosa. And this is my secret agent friend of the CIA, Axel," I said. "Oh, but that's apparently confidential, so don't repeat that."
Axel's head was in his hands.
"Oh... well... how did you get here?" she asked, without turning around.
"Well, we used a time machine, but... look at me when I'm talking to you! You're being rude!" I said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I can't. In case you didn't notice, I'm flying a plane."
"A wha?" I asked. Rosa and I looked at Axel curiously.
"Well, um," Axel said. "It's hard to explain. It's a form of transportation that involves flying. Modern flights have many seats on them and people work on the plane and serve you small snacks while you wait to arrive at your destination."
"I want peanuts, then," I said. Then I pressed a big button. The plane started flying out of control!
"What did you do?" the lady screamed.
"BIRGER!" Axel screamed. "Alright Miss Earhart, you'll have to come with us." He pointed the remote and the circle appeared.
"What is that?" Amelia shouted.
"It's a time machine. Now get in before we all die," Axel said camly. Amelia nodded scaredly and got in the circle.
"OH MYYYYY!!!!!!!!!" she screamed.
"You next, Rosa," Axel said.
Rosa got in. I followed her, but I heard Axel say, "If Randy wants to live, he'll have to reveal himself by making a time travel circle! Randy?"
Randy was flying through the circle!
"Hey, Randy!" I said. "Oh wait, you stalked me, I forgot. I'm not your BFF anymore! Hrmph!"
Randy shook his head.
"I'll get you Randy!" Axel yelled way behind us in the vortex. "Rosa! Birger! GET HIM!"
"I can't! I'm still digesting my peanuts," I explained.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY PEANUTS!" Axel screamed.
"Well then, what am I digesting?" I asked.
Rosa groaned. "I'll try to get him!" she screamed.
"I can hear you, you know," Randy said simply.
Rosa started trying to propell herself towards Randy, but it's incredibly hard to move in the swirling vortex of time.
Suddenly we were flung out onto a strangely futuristic area.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"I know this place. I stalk a lady named Suri Cruise here. Oh, there she is!" Randy said. "Oh, and there's me!" He pointed to himself... who was over hiding in some bush. "This remote is pretty cool... I can be everywhere at one time with this."
Axel and Rosa flew out of the vortex.
"Birger, why didn't you capture Randy while we were still in the vortex?!" Axel spluttered.
"Digesting," I explained again.
Rosa and Axel groaned and started running towards Randy. Randy jumped back into the vortex and Amelia flew out. "Oh my," she said.
"You say that a lot," I said.
"What is this?" she said. "Oh, look over there... is that a plane?"
"Oh, yeah," Axel said tiredly. "Here, come on, I'll take you back to your time."
"Oh, no hon. I'm not going back there. Not when I've seen the planes they have here! That old crate I used to fly looks like a mudhole compared to this!"
"And what is wrong with a mudhole?" Rosa asked.
"Well, just the fact that it's smelly and dirty and ugly," Amelia replied. "I'm off to start life anew with these people! Do you think they'll understand that I didn't dissapear, was just teleported through time?"
"Well, yeah, it's what... 2050 or somethin? The time machine was invented a few years ago..." Axel said. "You'll probably be given a few million dollars just for being the lost famous Amelia Earhart. Have fun."
"Thanks!" Amelia said.
... End of this report. Tune in soon! (Hehehe, that rhymes.)
