Stirfry In: Time Catastrophe!

Written in response to: "It took a few seconds to realize I was utterly and completely lost."

Adventure Friendship Science Fiction

"Ack! Stirfry, where are we?!" Mercury, landed with a soft thud, Demise, D-7 and Geode, landed soon after. Well, and me, Stirfry! Mercury, sat up as she fixed her yellow goggles above her head and stood up, dusting off her light yellow small pleated skirt, "Where'd you bring us now?!". D-7, being the TV-head gal she is, had a little glitch on her screen as her orange sloth lookin' arms fixed her TV antennas, oh! Did I mention she's orange? "My bowtie's gone..." she said sadly as she came back online and looked around, one side of her screen still glitched up. Geode, sighed, I'm amazed its geode head hasn't broken, her long arm reached out to pat D-7's shoulder, "It probably fell. We'll find it, don't worry." Geode, reassured D-7, despite the somewhat emotionless tone she has. "Stirfry! Are you even listening to me?!", Mercury shouts once more, sigh, this poofy-haired brunette... she really likes yellow too, if you couldn't tell.

I don't blame the girl for being upset, the gang's been going through wormhole after wormhole at the speed of light! Once we land we're always somewhere new! Well... a new time, really. Once she got her wispy bangs in tact and, Demise, drew the happy face back on the paper bag she wears over her face and made sure her...

I'm sorry, I've forgotten what the gun is-

"FN 509 striker-fired pistol, Stirfry.", Demise, states as she puts her gun away and walks past me to look around with Mercury, which caught me off guard because she just about never speaks, not willingly unless it's, D-7. I think out loud too much, but... at least it's entertaining. Glowy Sea Kitty soon lands directly on top of me, but no worries! I'm a derpy, invincible, interdimensional, cowboy cat! I got a cape and everything! But, I'm... very short, like my mom and my dad's decently tall, I also don't have a tail- so it's a bit embarrassing. But it's okay! "Stirfry! Strifry, why are we in the seventies!?", Glowy's gripper robotic hands, snapped out of panic, his robotic body clanking and whirring as he ran in circles, the tank he has as a head spilling water. Why's he called Glowy Sea Kitty? He's a Chain Cat Shark living in a fish tank attached to a robot body, and he's sentient and talks! You seem to know the gang now so allow me to comfort them in these times of great distress! "We're in the seventies! London, England, Nineteen seventy-seven, October sixth." I nod, my cowboy hat bobbing a bit alongside my head as the sounds of a very big concert are heard behind us. "Stirfry, you realize we're literally backstage at a Queen concert right?" Geode, turns to me, arms crossed. I simply nod and it huffs and turns away, meanwhile, Mercury is utterly flabbergasted alongside Glowy and D-7? D-7, already stepped away and is watching the show in complete awe. "Yeah, yeah, I get it! This is all very exciting, but how the-," A little cuckoo clock sound comes on,"- are we going get home!?" Glowy, exclaims, rolling his eyes. "Simple," I begin, "All we have to do is create another wormhole and travel at the speed of light before the concert ends!", I, Stirfry, clap my gloved hands together as I talk, hopping up and down. I'm pretty sure, Mercury, is going to cry but it's fine! "That isn't simple, Stirfry." Geode, snaps in her usual emotionless tone. "I-... I mean.. it-... it usually is..?" I chuckle sheepishly and fix my hat, Geode really gets to me sometimes... "Uh... Guys...? I think we're running out of time!" D-7 calls out to us as the cheers of the crowd and music continue, the song now changing to what sounds like the final performance. "Stirfry! Dressing room! Now!" Mercury, grabs onto my cape and whips me away from where I was originally standing as she and the others rush into a dressing room. As I looked around at all the different clothes hanging on hangers to the side and then at myself in the mirror, I could the gang conversing behind me, it was then I realized....

"We're screwed."

They all turned to me, the surprise evident on their faces, except, Geode's. "What?", Mercury asks in complete shock, "What's that supposed to mean?!" she practically screamed, D-7, quickly shushed her, it'd be bad if anyone heard. Really bad, the average human mind would simply malfunction and shutdown completely trying to process our existence's and how we got here, if it was explained into detail.

Which is why I won't explain into detail why and how we're here. I quietly make my way towards the door to peek my big head 'n' ears out to see if I can still hear the show, and I can, so we still have some time on our-... grippers, hands, gloved-paw-hand things and sloth lookin' hands.

Jeez.

"Say, show's not ending anytime soon! Let's make a wormhole backstage!" I suggest with my arms flailing around happily, Geode, shakes her head and Glowy, thinks for a moment. "Well...," he begins, "I suppose we can, it's worth a shot." He shrugs and Mercury, facepalms, "This is THE QUEEN performing! We can't just make a wormhole backstage, we can't risk messing up their concert! This is an important moment in history!" she argued, which honestly? She's right. Do we care? "Yeah, let's do it."

No.

"WHAT?!" Mercury shrieked. And oh boy, was she loud, cuz here come footsteps, Geode, lifted me up with an arm and Mercury cut the lights. Not actually, she just turned them off! Did I say egg? "Stirfry, shut up." I hear, Demise, harshly whisper to me as I continue to think and think and think as crew members came to check on the dress rooms, D-7 and Glowy Sea Kitty trying to hide the hardest because, Glowy can glow in the dark, Chain Sharks just.... glow. D-7, well she's a TV head, she also glows, well... her screen does. The crew didn't notice them or us. Luckily. But I ahvt tp- "Stirfry..." I havta "Don't..." Demise, harshly whispers again, I can hear the concert ending, the crowd's still wild, just give it a bit and you'll hear the band walking back over, Glowy Sea Kitty, rushing to create another wormhole or blackhole, one of the two that we'll have to travel at the speed of light in to travel through time once more, Mercury was full on hyperventilating at the very thought of coming face to face with, THE Freddie Mercury, and I? Me? Stirfry? I'm gonna snee-

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHCHOOOO-"

As soon as I sneeze loudly and over dramatically, Glowy finishes the wormhole as he whiles his arms around at the speed of light.

All we leave behind is a stunned, Brian May, and if he faints... He has an IQ of one hundred-eighty, he'll be fine!
