As I was leading my girls, I was really getting fond of that thought, I was right behind Miki and Hilary and saw and heard what happened.
"I wasn't prepared last time, but I am now!" I yelled as I pulled Hilary away from the door and reaching into my handbag pulled the portal generator from it. Quickly I dialed a spatial destination of two inches and pulled the trigger on the device. A hole appeared in the door leading to the next room instead of an entirely new dimension. Throwing the portal generator back into my bag I reached in again.
"Whatever you are, get your hands up I'm armed with..." I looked at what I had pulled from the bag. "A Snickers bar."
With a growl of annoyance I tossed the candy bar behind me and charged through the opening into the next room. I was vaguely aware that Hilary was right behind me, with a shouting Victor racing up behind her.
"Stay with the kids!" I shouted over my shoulder. Whether it was to Victor or Hilary was anyone's guess.
