Serena

We go down to the tenth floor and begin searching there.

"Where do you think we are?" Eric asks. It's weird because he's talking from inside Trenton's body.

"I don't know. Maybe a parallel universe?" Trenton suggests.

"I don't think so. More like a dream world…" I reply.

"Why is it so weird though. Wouldn't a dream be happier than this?" Eric says.

"Fine, a nightmare world."

"Yay, a living nightmare," Trenton mutters. I nod and we continue searching. I open the door to a room and jump back in surprise. Dawson is there, staring out the window.

"Dawson?" I ask.

"No, I'm Nathaniel! Figured that out a while ago," he says and walks over to me. "Are you Kathryn?"

"No, it's Serena. Trenton is in Eric and Eric's in Trenton. I found that out the hard way..." He bursts out in laughter and high fives me. I grin and we continue searching. We go down a flight of stairs to the ninth floor and begin searching there. We search rooms and find nothing but the same damage done to the other rooms. Nathaniel and I lag behind.

"Told you this hotel was creepy," he whispers.

"I believed you! I know it's just our luck to be sucked into a nightmare world," I whisper back. He laughs and we enter another room.

"What's up with the sun?" he asks.

"I don't know. That's what I was wondering. Why red though?"

"Maybe it's his favorite color?" Nathaniel says. We both break out in laughter. That's what I like about Nathaniel. Even in the worst situation he finds something we can laugh about. Eric throws Nathaniel a dirty look and we stop.

"He's jealous." I whisper and we both have to hold in our laughter again.

"Actually the sun is mostly hydrogen. Nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into other elements, which is what creates the heat. The sun is also composed of helium and a couple other elements like oxygen, carbon, neon, nitrogen, magnesium, iron, and silicon," Trenton says, checking the bathroom. “When some of these elements go missing, the others combine and when nuclear fusion occurs, it gives off a red light rather than white. This shouldn’t occur unless something catastrophic happens.” Nathaniel and I are still laughing. At least until Trenton asks, “What is with them?” We both go red and continue searching. We leave the room and turn the corner of the hallway. Down at the end of the hall are three figures.

"Hey!" Eric yells. The figures turn and run down the hall. They gradually come closer and I begin to make them out. One is Nathaniel, who is most likely Dawson, one is Kylie, and one to my surprise is myself! Nathaniel’s and Kylie’s bodies stop in front of us while my body throws her arms around Trenton’s, who is actually Eric.

"This isn't gonna end well. Kylie's in you, huh?" Nathaniel whispers to me. I nod and know exactly what's coming. Kylie, who is in my body, kisses Eric, who is in Trenton's body. She releases and the look on Trenton's face was livid.

“Kylie!!! Why would you do that?!" Trenton yells at her.

"He's my boyfriend, Eric!" she yells back, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about this?!"

"Penny in the air," Nathaniel mutters to me. I put my head in my hands. Kylie is still in my body.

"I'm Trenton! You just kissed Eric!! Look at yourself. You're Serena!" Trenton says incredulously.

"Penny drops," Nathaniel whispers and I elbow him in the gut. Eric, in Trenton's body, goes bright red and well as Kylie, who's in me. She runs into a room and I hear her scream. She walks out slowly and sits on the carpeted floor. Trenton sits down next to her and grabs her hand.

"You better be Trenton," she whispers angrily. He nods and she sighs with relief.

"Before anymore confusion, I would like to clear up that I'm Kathryn," Kathryn, in Kylie's body, says. "This is Dawson," she says, pointing to Nathaniel’s body.

"Well that must of looked weird,” Dawson states. “So Serena just kissed Trenton! Serena, who's body are you in?"

"Kathryn's," I say and he nods.

"Sorry about that..." Kylie says, embarrassed. We all start to laugh and we suddenly can't stop. We all sit down and roll around laughing. It's been awhile since we've all really laughed. After minutes of straight laughing, we all start quieting down a little bit. I wipe a tear from my eye. I look next to me, but the zombie from Alcatraz is there.

"Well look at that! They think they're safe! That's cute," Zombie one cackles.

"Not again," I whisper.

"Oh yes," Zombie two shrieks. And with that, he lunges towards me
