Hey everyone, I'm new here. This is all so confusing... but I'll understand soon. Hopefully..
I don't usually make my stories with chapters... so some might be reaallly long oneshots...
I don't own any of these characters besides myself...
This is me. The girl who ran away from home. My life at home sucks. I had to get away. I brought all I could to help me survive. Even some money. I looked at my ipod. midnight. I left my family without saying goodbye. It was better that way. But now, I'm all alone. I don't know where to go. I slid down the side of a grassy hill and walked under the bridge. I opened my backpack to check my supplies.
"Water bottle? Check. Shampoo and soap? Check. Toothbrush and toothpaste? Check. Extra non perishable foods? Check. Headphones? Check. Lots of clothes? Check. As I looked deeper in the bag, I saw two diecasts of Dusty and Skipper. I also found a plushie of Dusty. That will surely keep me company.
I also took out my binder. I brought that along with so if I get bored, I can draw or write about my life so far.
I sat down against the bridge. I was so tired. I hugged my backpack and leaned back. This is my life now. Better get used to it. I closed my eyes and sighed. A few seconds passed and all of a sudden I felt warm air and the sun on me. I fell backwards still holding my backpack and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was that I was surrounded by corn stalks. I looked behind me. The bridge I was leaning on was no longer there! I was greatly confused. Is this a dream? Did I just fall asleep? And that fast?
I suddenly heard a plane engine come closer. I stood up and looked around. A big but small plane zoomed over me, spraying me with a foul-like powder...or something. I was pushed backwards and started to cough and wave the stuff away. The engine got softer but then started getting louder. I saw an orange plane land a little ways outside of the cornfield. I got up and started to follow it, thinking it looked familiar.
I walked through the forest of corn and came to a small clearing. there I saw an orange and white crop duster. It looked at me with a confused and surprised look. I immediately recognized him and fell in love.
"D-Dusty Crophopper?!" I blurted out.
"Uhm... Yeah...how do you know my name?" He asked, coming closer to me. "Who are you? And.. don't take this offensive but, what are you?"
"My name is Erica Case, and I'm a human. But its along story on how I know you. Where are we?"
"We are in Propwash Junction, Minnesota. And welcome Erica. How did you get here? I've never seen a... a human, before in my life."
"I honestly do not know how I got here. I was under a bridge at midnight, closed my eyes, and was surrounded by corn."
"Why were you under a bridge at midnight?"
"I ran away from home... my life sucks at home."
"Oh." Dusty looked down, unsure of what to say. "Well, you're welcome here! I don't know how Skipper will react to you, but I'm sure Chug will get along! Come aboard!" He opened his window down against his side and faced his side towards me.
"Okay." I carefully climbed onto his wing, set my backpack in the back, and climbed into the front seat. Dusty closed the window and started his engine. His propellor started to spin.
"First, I gotta finish crop dusting or my boss will have me." Dusty replied as he set off into the air again.
"Oh, Leadbottom?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm so confused how you know everyone."
"Well in my world, you are in a movie called, Planes."
"Oh, so... I'm like a star?"
"Yeah. You win the Wings Around the Globe Rally."
"Yeah, I did!" Dusty replied proudly.
I smiled as he started dusting the rest of the corn.
"That's vita-minimulch, right?" I asked.
"Yeah,. Oh wait, did I spray you before?" Dusty asked, embarrassed.
"Yeah. That stuff is nasty."
"Agreed."
Suddenly a train horn echoed off around us.
"Yeah! Quittin' time!" I'll radio Chug to have him meet me at my hangar. "
"Alright." I replied. Dusty stopped dusting and flew off.
"What about the rest of the corn?" I asked.
"Leadbottom will take over." He replied. He flew back and soon Propwash junction came into view. Dusty landed on the runway and started to roll back to his hangar. The garage door slid open and Dusty hurried inside, closing the door behind him.
"How should I present myself to him?" I asked.
"Just stay in my cockpit and I'll call him." Dusty replied.
"Dusty Crophopper to Chug. Come in Chug." Dusty radioed.
"Why don't you ever use the call sign?" Chug radioed back.
"The... race is over..." Dusty said innocently.
"So? I like hearing it."
Dusty sighed. I couldn't help but giggle. "Fine. Strut Jetstream to Turbo Coach Truckzilla."
"Yes, what do you need, Strut?" Chug answered.
"You need to get to my hangar ASAP. I have something to show you!"
"Alright I'll be right there." Chug answered and left.
"You ready?" Dusty asked me.
"Yeah! I cant wait to meet everyone!"
"Well, It may take a while, but yeah. You can meet everyone. But in the meantime, stay in my cockpit and don't make a sound."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Dusty! It's Chug!" Chug called out. Dusty pushed a button with his wing to open the doors. Chug drove in and Dusty closed the door.
"What do you have to show me?" Chug asked.
"I found a special... person in the corn I was dusting." Dusty explained.
"Person?" Chug asked, confused.
"Yeah. Her name is Erica. Come on out, Erica." Dusty told me. I opened his window from a latch and slid down carefully onto his wing.
"Whoa... where did she come from?"
"The human world I guess."
"Actually from Wausau WI." I said.
"Oh." Chug said. "Wait. Who else knows about her?"
"Only me." dusty said. "How do you suppose Dottie and Skipper will react?"
"I'm not sure." Chug answered. "I don't really think they would ban her here though." Chug thought for a minute. "But I need to get going. There is a group of planes on their way who need refueling. Good luck." Dusty opened the door for him and Chug drove off.
"Dottie?" Dusty asked me.
"Yeah sure." I climbed back in his cockpit and Dusty left the hangar.
