Chapter One: Jess' writing is in black and Hannah's writing is in white. Enjoy!

“I didn't think it would end like this!” Jess said, in distress. “Maybe I should call Sean and tell him I-“
NO.” Hannah said, firmly. “You KNOW what happened last time.”
“What are we going to do?” Kurt wrung his tail in his hands.
“We're very close now.” Grant observed, eyeing the radar screen nervously.
“I don't want to DIE!” Hannah said, sadly. “I wanted to live, and marry lots of rock stars…and eat lots of brazil nuts!”
“You're allergic to them.” Jess reminded her.
“I know, but I still fancied giving it a go,” sulked Hannah.
“Look, guys, you've forgotten that we're in a parallel universe. Maybe flying into a black hole HERE is a really GOOD thing.” Chris B said, optimistically.
“We're gonna DIE and you're standing there being POSITIVE?!” Jess exclaimed.
“Hey, I might be right.” Chris protested.
“Looks like we're about to find out.” Grant said, grimly, looking at the screen, and the large green splodge which was very close to their ship.
“Hold onto your tails, guys.” Jess said, apprehensively. “Oh! I don't appear to have a tail. Oh, well…” She lunged for Kurt's tail and hugged it lovingly.
“Vas…?” Kurt exclaimed, looking down at her.
“Hey, if I'm gonna pop my clogs, I'm going out in STYLE.” Jess replied. The ship shook suddenly and then everything went black.


Hannah felt a very strange sensation, a little like being pushed down very, very hard. At first she presumed it had something to do with gravity, but then she realised Chris J's body had fallen on top of her.
She rolled him over and sat up. The ship was totally black and she couldn't even see her hand in front of her face.
“J?” Hannah stood up shakily. “J, you ok?”
“Not now, Hannah, I'm busy.” Came a voice from somewhere in the darkness.
“What do you MEAN, 'I'm busy'?!” Hannah exclaimed.
“Keep your voice down!” Jess scolded. “Kurt got knocked out and fell on top of me, and I'd like to keep it that way. So I'd thank you not to make any noise and wake him up.”
Hannah rolled her eyes and groped along the wall, hoping to work out exactly where in the ship she was. As she stumbled forward, she kicked something on the floor.
“OW!”
“Oh, sorry, Grant.”
“It's ok.” Grant got up. “Cor. Bit dark, innit?”
“Um…yes.” Hannah sighed. Bright, this boy. “Any idea if there are any torches on board?”
There wasn't a reply.
“Grant?”
Still no reply.
Hannah panicked, worrying that Grant had been eaten by a giant space monster, and so reached out and smacked him in the face by mistake.
“OW!”
“Sorry! Why didn't you reply?!”
“I did!”
Verbally Grant! Shrugs and nods don't work in the dark!”
Another silence.
“GRANT!”
“Sorry!”
“Hello?” Chris B's voice sounded from nearby.
“Hey, you're Jess's butler, find me a torch on this Godforsaken ship, Hannah ordered.
Chris B went to protest of the unfairness of this, then realised that he hadn't had a decent job for a while now and disappeared off to find one.
“Uhh…uhh…”
“WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?” Hannah practically jumped into Grant's arms in fright.
A coughing fit ensued nearby.
“WHAT IS IT!!?” Hannah screamed.
“I'm safe under Kurt!” A small voice came from Jess's direction.
“Uh…what happened?” Came the odd voice again.
Something gripped Hannah's ankle.
ARGHH!!
Suddenly light flooded the room.
Chris J, had woken, and was holding Hannah's ankle.
“Oh, BUGGER you!!” Hannah shouted angrily after her great fright.
Chris B focused the torch on Chris J. “Are you ok?”
“What…wha…” Chris J ran a hand over his face and through his hair. “What the hell happened?” He managed to verbalise.
“You fell into a coma.” Hannah said, bending down and patting him on the head.
Why?” Chris J asked, shocked with this revelation.
“You…you fell…” Hannah covered, looking sternly at everyone else just in case they differed in opinion.
“Oh my God.” Chris J said, in a state of shock. “I didn't know I was unwell…”
“Oh, you're not! You're perfectly fine!”
“Then what's this bump on my head?” Chris J said, feeling the back of his head.
Hannah tried to look innocent. “Where you fell…into a coma…”
“Oh.” Chris J let his hand drop and sat, looking glum. “So what did I miss?”

Well…” Hannah considered this. “Grant blew up Phobos, so we had to steal a spaceship and fly out into space, where we found a space station, which was populated by little red aliens, but they put us in jail, so Jess and Chris had to come and rescue us, and then they chased us so we had to catch a spaceship to fly away, but then we got sucked into a black hole…” Hannah trailed off.
“You haven't missed much, really.” Jess reassured him.
“So…where am I now?” Chris asked, almost afraid of the answer.
“In a black hole.” Grant informed him, as if this was totally normal.
“Oh.” Chris paused. “Don't you DIE if you go into a black hole?”
DUR!” Chris B jumped up and down to demonstrate his living status. “Apparently NOT!”
“That is a good point,” Jess said. “Aren't we meant to be dead?”
The ship shook, threateningly.
“Don't tempt fate!” Hannah said.
“Yeah but how stupid is this, we're in a bloody black hole and nothing has happen-“
The ship rumbled.
“JESS! STOP TEASING!!” Hannah whined.
“Stupid-“
CRACK!
“JESS!”
“Flawed-“
JESS!”
RUMBLE!
“PATHETIC BLACK HOLE!!!”
There was a humungous roar and the ship free fell for what felt like hours and they all collapsed onto the floor when the ship finally came to a halt.
