I DECIDED To…hiatus the other stories for now. Juz read and wait until the day I came back from the water.
Title: Pixie Girl
Summary: Code name; Trixie Pixie. Pranks' the game. But When I am considered 'sober', I return to being Namine. But I don't always return to find a personal hero and villain after me. Then again, when was this world ever sane?
Genre: Romance, action, adventure, fantasy…
Subway turned to subway sandwich.
I'm feeling really excited now. In fact, I'm exuberant. Sigh. Guess the lesson with Mrs Summers really got stuck in my brain. She's my English teacher but now, it's not time to talk about weird happy-go-lucky teachers. It's nearly time for action.
The hall is already full of dancing people and those 'hanging-abouts'. They are those who go either for the sake of going or for the food. Some of them already moved over to the banquet table and piling up food. That amount can last for squirrels until spring. I just hope they don't take the whole table with them. I need food for my operation.
Slowly, I move over to the table with meatballs. Something slimy and sticky? Check. Target in sight? Check. In firing range? He's just in front of me. Check. Casually, I snitch one of the meatballs and pelt him right on his back. Bull's-eye!
That kid that I just pelt on is Jamie. He's the one who likes food fights as much as food. It is much more fun, he stated, as you get to taste some food without looking. I have to say, sometimes, it's just not too great if that thing is not food. Not that he listen anyway.
The moment that ammo touched him, he began to go crazy. As if mad,(emphasize on the as if) he stared about frantically and scooped up another meatball. But I won't be here long. I disappeared in the crowd and ooze out of the hall just as some food is airborne. By now, the food fight is going on strong and I decided it is high time to sneak into the control room.
It is an easy feat considering one of my roommates works here during school time and knows how to use the electronic stuff in here. I fished out a slim plastic card and a hair pin. Inserting it carefully in the key hole, there is a roar in the school hall. Mr Senders must be there by now. Good.
After jigging it a bit, the door clicked open and I slid in noiselessly inside. The room looks almost the same when I last came by which was yesterday. Wires are cramped into the cupboard, buttons and switches all over the place. I switch on the main switch and popped in a disk in the CD player. Inside, there is my favorite 'psycho' soundtrack, very appropriate for chaos. I pushed a button and it's on air.
Instantly, the music blared out from the speakers, nearly shaking the roof off. When the chaos out there is clear, I looked out of the window.
Dear Mr Sanders, the principal, is shouting (or trying to) over the noise of the music. Clearly, nobody listen or they are deaf by the music. But one thing is crystal clear; everyone is in a food fight no matter what. Food plastered all over them but some die-hard ones are still lunging mush about. Some of the mush happen to hit the window and I withdrew hastily.
They are dirty enough. Time for a downpour. I flipped open my hand phone and sms my friend.
THE PIXIE IS FOR WASHOVER.
Her reply is fast.
SPECKY HAS INITIATED COUNTDOWN. 3..2..1..
I turned to look outside the window again. The school sprinkler system suddenly goes off to the maximum. Now, instead of dirty ants down below, there are dirty, half-drowned ants scurrying about. The music has stopped.
Mr Sanders finally seemed to be loss of words. He stands there, gaping like a fish. I capture the moment with my trusty hand phone camera and run back to the outskirts of the hall. Time to put on the finishing touches.
'Specky', my dark haired and blue eyed friend with glasses perched on her nose is waiting for me there. In her hand is Sycorax, my pet cat and intelligent agent.
Xion put down the tabby and removed her collar. Kneeling down to Sycorax, I whispered the command and make her bite a note. Sycorax slinked into the hall.
Xion has already turned off the sprinkler system by then. Sycorax needn't run from water. She move with a grace of a…well, a cat and pattered towards Mr Sanders. Tucking the note neatly under his shoe, Sycorax gave a loud miao and tugs at his pants. When Mr Sanders looks down, all he sees is a blur of orange. I'm proud to say that Sycorax runs faster than I. She's my amazing cat after all. I trained her to do so.
He does notice the note and I could have sworn I hear him swear. Score one for the Pixie!
………..
Enough of the Extreme prank we played. Why do I do it? What do I do besides that? How do I do it all?
My true name is Namine Frontiers. Blonde hair and blue eyes. Wears a shirt and cardigan with normal sized jeans. I live in the hostel near to my high school and my house is just across the road. Why the weird living conditions? My parents love the term independence and make a point to drive it deep in my life. It looks like that anyway. But sometimes, they move with an air of suspense, like something else it buried from the world. They work as plumbers though I wonder why a plumber has cool gadgets such as the ray gun I found in their room. It must be for the rabid rats.
I have two roommates, Xion Axon and Kairi Fusion. Xion is my better partner in crime as she knows many stuff needed in creating the perfect prank. Xion always wear the same baggy swater and jeans. She loves electronic items and the very same person who works in the control room. She plans to be an inventor some day. I plan to be the tester.
Kairi is a normal typical girlish person that you learn to tolerate eventually. She's more of a sister than friend, I guess. Maybe even a mother. She goes to a meeting of the G.O.S.S.I.P club at odd times. Kairi's also big in fashion. Being a red head gives her a sense of style, she quotes. She dresses after a fashion, walks after a fashion and talks after a fashion. It will probably be logical for her to use the loo after a fashion too, I guess. Does she flush after or before? I have a feeling though, she is more than meets the eye.
Then there is me. Me. Lovely me. Okay, cut the crap.
I'm Namine Frontiers, aka The Trixie Pixie. I'm famous for being the best prankster and not getting caught once. But maybe, that's because nobody knows my real identity. It is good to keep it under wraps. Leaks may happen.
I decided to call myself that as it sounded really mischievous and naughty. The pixie part…it's because I am like one, I suppose. Light on my feet and leaping in the air, small in built and unnoticed by many. Noticing things others don't. Being random. It suites me.
The first prank I played in the school is the big gulp tragic. Nobody died of course as my pranks take no lives but mine. I happened to 'accidently' spill a cup of Big Gulp near the generator or whatever it is called. It got to the wires, in the wires and the thing nearly exploded. But it was not my fault. Who ask for bare open wires in the first place? The technician or whatsit.
After that, I caught on the spark and rage on like a fire, one prank after another. It was great.
"Namine, you nincompoop, hurry up! Your sub's gonna shoot away!" The voice from reality jerked me back to my present body and I hurriedly got in the train station. Kairi just shakes her head.
After the Extreme Prank, we (Kairi, Xion and me) decided to celebrate not getting caught by going out 'wandering'. That's when we just wander about in the vast city for some time until it is nearly midnight. It is lovely and the night air is very fresh. We sometimes just hang out at shops or restaurants or parks. It is a girl thing, I suppose.
We got in the train but not before battling many bodies pushing out of the door. As soon as I stepped inside, I feel rather spacey. Looking around, the train contains only a small amount of passengers to my relief. Usually, the train is jammed packed with people as most of them live in the city and work outside.
Kairi motioned me over to three empty seats near the end of the train and all three of us chatted about the day's work.
She immediately started yakking about happenings in school. Being a part of the G.O.S.S.I.P group certainly makes her go to gossip hyper as she related nearly all the gossips and rumors flitting about in the air including her club meetings.
"Well, you know, during this meeting, we like, got a feeling. And it was right! Mrs Summer's gonna be a mom! She was happy and all during English that day, didn't you know? I did saw her go pale for some time and this is really exciting! We should, like, celebrate, you know."
Xion quickly interrupts, "But didn't Mrs Spring go through the same thing and she nearly fainted? To-be mom's should rest, not party hard. She nearly throws up too with all the cake she eats."
"That's because she's in her prime time of pregnancy, Xion." Kairi said defensively. "Mrs Summer is at the beginning, no harm done!"
"Wish Ms Winter can be her." I casually added. "Save us the trouble of Chemistry. Honestly, just because Hayner forgot one decimal place in his calculations, she goes bananas."
Kairi and Xion agreed and we spend the rest of the ride in silence. It is a comfortable silence. I decided to listen to my ipod shuffle and plug in.
The train ride is not that long but the view outside is really inspiring. To get to the city, the train must cross a wide river on a bridge and I like to watch it especially in moonlight when the waters look like light. It looks unreal, somehow.
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment
That's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
It is all peaceful. For about, a split second.
The train suddenly lurched to a stop and all the passengers got jerked off their feet and butts. The train gave a loud groan and the power blinks out. awesome. Not.
Some of the passengers got up cautiously including me and my friends. It may be dark but the moonlight is more than sufficient to let us see the obvious.
The train is stuck.
The driver got out of the control room and began to make an announcement. The train has something wrong with it and we all should stay calm and wait for a repair team and the civil servants to drive over. I then realize that this kind of happenings is frequent.
Hopefully, the vehicles they are travelling in didn't puncture.
Oh, I will interrupt this moment for a tiny thing I missed out. Pixies have a six sense. I do too.
It is lucky they had me on the train as I caught a pair of sharp clamps bearing down on my compartment in my peripheral vision. Scratch that, they look like jaws.
"JUMP!" I suddenly screamed and the surprised people and driver jumped…in surprise. They go along and managed to leap to the other compartment when the jaws closed.
It snapped with an almighty crunch and the creaking and groaning of metal increase several octaves higher. The jaws then pulled hard until the part of the train in his mouth detaches from the other part of the train.
I was beside the beast's yellow fangs when it bites down and I'm standing next to a big drop when it pulls away. It is creepy and I all but jumped down to my doom. The air rushes in fast and wires still twitches from sparks of electricity. A Godzilla or something resembling it pricked my vision and of reality. It looks something from the old movies.
Help! I can only scream in my head. But my body unfroze when I heard a more desperate cry down below my feet. I peered down and nearly got overcome by a sense of vertigo.
Xion must be slightly slower than the average human in reaction. She might not leap far enough to reach the other side. She now pays the consequences of pawning several P.E. classes. Dumb slow Xion!
I lay flat on my belly and reached out a hand to Xion. She's hanging onto a metal piece that is giving way soon. I managed to wrap my hands on her arm and yanked her in.
She is panting, face flushed and eyes wide with fear. I was panting too but I feel more relieved than fear.
I then cuffed her on the head hard.
"Ouch!" She cringes and massaged her throbbing head.
"That, is for running into danger, you oaf. When we get back, I'm gonna push you hard in P.E." I scolded.
She nodded meekly.
But I might as well repeat it to myself as something else came up. Xion looked behind me and her eyes become even rounder.
"Namine…behind you…" I turned around, yelped and pushed her and myself deeper in sanctuary as the jaws of doom clamp down again on the train.
Before it can shut completely, a huge smack echoed in the night. The train bit is let free and it crashes down on the ground, making a mini crater. Godzilla screeches worse than a bat and louder than a buffalo.
An guy now joined the Godzilla…on its head. He is hanging onto its scaly spikes. He must be brave or stupid. I can only gape at my savior.
The guy must be around my age and he has the same blond hair . My heart beats quickly and a strange warmth envelopes me. It could be the fact that I'm scared or excited. Okay, now, I'm confused.
"Okay now there?" He yelled at us and for a split second, we make eye contact. His eyes are blue.
Then, I make a very stupid mistake. I blinked. And the two beings are gone. But the destructive scene doesn't.
That boy will scar my dreams tonight.
