I really wanted to start a love story about Megara and Hercules from my favorite Disney movie, Hercules. But I didn't really want it to be set in ancient Greece. So it's some of the same plot line. But in a modern-day world. It's told from Meg's perspective.
So here are the first few paragraphs of chapter 1. If anyone really cares enough to read it and leave a comment, I swear I'll love you forever. Here we go:
I own only the plot line, Blake, Maxie, Felicity, Iris, Shelly, Anthony, and Alexander. Everything else belongs to Disney.
I
paused the video as it zoomed in on me blowing out the candles on the
cake for my 5th birthday, my mom hugging me after I made my wish. The
sound of my parent's "Happy Birthday Meg!" wish hung in the
air. That was thirteen years ago. I remember wishing for my parents
to always be there. I guess my wish came true when I was fifteen
years old and my parents were hit by a drunk driver. After that I was
taken in by my uncle Hades, of all people. You know that one crazy
uncle everyone has in their family? Well, lucky me, I'm stuck with
him.
It's not like he's horrible. In a few ways he can be, but
as long as I have somewhere to sleep, someone paying for school, and
someone feeding me, I'm okay. I always have my friends, Blake,
Maxie, Felicity, Iris, and Shelly just down the street, always ready
for me when I need to spend time with girls other than my uncle and
his two twin boys, Alexander and Anthony.
After staring at the TV
screen long enough, I started the video again. It showed my two
parents and my neighbors from long ago. You could see the sun setting
in the window, going behind the rolling hills of the California
countryside and illuminating the barn, along with the horses and cows
we raised. Now I lived in Uncle Hades' Los Angeles townhouse, 5
minutes away from the beach. Of course I loved it, but every now and
then I wanted to swap the sea salt smell and the cars for the scent
of fresh hay and rumble of tractors.
