There was no one with her. She looked around. Not even a little bug. She was very lonely. Eventually, she stopped at the heart of a near little forest; the birds sang lively, flying under the sunshine. She looked at the trees, and found what she was searching for: a tiny tree house. She climbed the tree, reaching the only door. It was nicely made, she remembered the old times, when her father built that cute house, so she could go there every time she felt lonely and hopeless. That's exactly how she was feeling right now: hopeless. Damn reality, she wanted to live in a fictional world so bad. But it was impossible, wasn't it? Yeah, it was, unfortunately…
The teenager girl turned on her laptop. A beautiful nightfall landscape was the background image, she sank in her depression. There was a little speech bubble near the clock in the screen: Her download was ready. Another movie to make her hate reality, another damn one. She watched it nevertheless, knowing in the end, she would just feel even more depressed and hopeless. She couldn't stand it, she would just like to leave reality forever, and go living with cool people that want the best of their world, not the worse, like most humans are doing right now.
Kung Fu Panda 2; that place in China where the Furious Five, the Dragon Warrior and Master Shifu lives protecting the Village of Peace from every bad guy out there. It would be the best thing ever, learn Kung Fu so she could beat up that silly guys from her school, that guys who makes her life shit. That silly people that makes reality shit. Oh, she would love to meet all the Masters and The Dragon Warrior, that idiot Panda with so much talent and so minimal brain. Even, he would make her laugh so hard, and for a little one hour, she would be back to her happy self, with no worries.
Planck, pluck. Little stones were hitting the house walls outside. A high pitched voice screamed.
"Little Clouds Head, come out! We want to play! Or are you still in Wonderland, Windy Head? Ha ha!" A little chubby boy was standing with other two big Godzilas by his side, each one holding a stone in their hands, throwing it to her tree house. She wouldn't stand it; she was almost exploding, almost. ALMOST.
"Don't do that" An elderly voice reached her, sound like a whisper. "You must control yourself, getting angry won't help in any way." She looked around; no adult was in the surroundings, who would it be? "Just calm down, concentrate and don't do anything stupid. Only fight if they do first, do you understand?" She recognized that voice, but from where? Where? Anyways, she agreed to herself, and calmed down, inhaling and exhaling the air to her lungs. The angriness was no more with her. But the bad guys had already moved, they climbed (with an exaggerated effort) the huge tree and reached the little house, ready to attack the girl.
'Concentrate'. She thought to herself. She didn't know how to fight, what the heck would she do, then? That same voice spoke to her again.
"The thing you like the most, art. Try dancing, I assume it'll work just fine as Kung Fu does."
Art, right, a song, that one she likes the most, she just had to dance as she listened to it in her head. She closed her eyes softly, and let it flow.
"Without a single thing to tell anyone else
I close away the many feelings welling within me
as I finish the last line of a book I loved.
Where will my heart go?"
She felt her whole body move as the wind, and punch the boys, one by one, until all of them where in the floor, too weak to stand up. She did it, SHE DID IT! She could do Kung Fu, and an special Kung Fu, one that only her mastered. She could not believe her eyes, ears and nose, all her feelings where mixed up in a giant ball of excitement and fear. She could beat up Godzillas, she could hurt people… No way, that was the last thing she wanted to do, hurt people, hurt anyone. The smallest life in Earth was still a life, and it mustn't be hurt by no means. Never.
She ran back home, scared, hugging her laptop. She recognized that voice, she did. That elderly voice, full of wisdom, could be only property of a legendary one…
Master Shifu.
