The four friends glanced at each other. They travelled back in time! Allison pleaded, ‘could we please stay with you for a while? We’re completely lost!’ Pan Yuliang replied kindly, ‘sure. You poor girls need a place to stay!’ The girls followed Pan Yuliang back to her house. The city was filled with beautiful women in flowery dresses and men in coloured robes. Heads turned as they walked down the path. Avery whispered in fear, ‘why are they staring at us?’ Pan Yuliang laughed and answered, ‘they’re staring at me! I’m a celebrity!’ After a very long walk, the girls arrived Pan Yuliang’s house. She announced, ‘I’m going to go shopping. You girls stay here and rest.’ Right after she walked out the door, Allison announced, ‘girls, we have to act fast. How do we get back to our dimension before people find out?’ Agnes whispered back, ‘but if they do, they would come looking for us while we could party in this place!’ Alisha couldn’t hold it anymore. She yelled, ‘Agnes, stop being so stupid! We have to get back as soon as possible. End of story!’ Allison snapped in a low voice, ‘we need to come with a plan as soon as possible.’ Alisha racked her brains for information, but knew nothing about different dimensions. When the girls saw that she had no ideas, they thought that they were going to be stuck here for eternity, until a tiny voice said, ‘I might have an idea.’ All three girls looked at Avery in shock. ‘Avery! Tell us what you’re thinking!’ exclaimed Allison.
