Two years ago I wrote the story "Fun in a New World". It lasted a short five chapters and wasn't even written well. Yet I got what I would call a good amount of reviews. I got some in the past couple months and remembered this story and the plans I'd had for it, so I decided I'd fix it up a bit a write the chapters I never got to.
This story is just supposed to be for fun, might even parody certain things later on. Not sure if I'll pair Naomi up with anyone. I might if it makes things funnier.
Naomi groaned loudly as she struggled to wake up and stretched out her back with a crack. She felt like she'd just spent the night sleeping on a bed made of rock. Attempting to overcome a yawn she took a quick glance at her watch.
"Oh my god! I'm going to be so late! What happened, why didn't the stinkin' alarm go off? Why-WOAH!"
Naomi had finally looked up from her watch and found herself surrounded by trees. Lots and lots of trees stretching out as far as the eye could see.
Naomi: O.O
Naomi cautiously walked up to one, as if one of its branches could reach out and bite her at any minute. Her finger reached out tentatively and poked it. She walked all around the tree and poked it constantly, until she was at last quite sure it was a tree.
For a second she just stood there, staring at the very real tree.
"WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN' FOREST?" Naomi shouted at the sky. Birds flew out of the trees, squawking frantically.
The sky didn't shout back. Nothing did. All Naomi heard was the distant squawking of scared birds.
"Guess that means I'm alone," she muttered.
She would have guessed that this was some prank, but nobody she knew would go to this much trouble to pull a silly prank. Her friends weren't nearly strong enough and even her devious little brother knew how badly she would pummel him if he did this. 'If he somehow obtained the brains to think this up anyway,' Naomi thought.
Naomi found herself wearing yesterday's clothes, remembering how she'd fallen asleep in them last night on the couch while watching TV. 'Well, at least I'm not stuck in the middle of a forest in my PJ's,' she thought, relieved. Her army green t-shirt and dark brown cargo pants were much more suitable for the forest. Naomi also was pleased to find her duffel bag a mere foot away from her. She vaguely recalled using that bulky thing as a pillow. How her head ever found comfort on that thing she would never know.
Desperate to find out what she was stuck in this forest alone with, Naomi quickly unzipped the bag and looked inside. In it she found her work out clothes, a bottle of Mountain Dew, her helmet and skateboard, her special black cap, her military jacket, and a lifetime supply of gummi bears and kisses.
'Great, with this Mountain Dew I just might survive the day!' Naomi thought sarcastically as she slapped her cap on.
Her stomach suddenly emitted a large growl. It had not eaten since last night and was used to having breakfast by now. Preferably pancakes. Naomi grabbed a Hershey's kiss and popped it in her mouth, crumpling up the foil into a tiny ball. She fished out the paper bit and read her fortune. 'Changes are coming.'
"Wow….these things sure are slow. Stupid fortune, what do you call this? Is this not 'change' enough for you?" Naomi realized what she was doing and slapped her forehead, "Listen to me, I'm arguing with a piece of paper. Five minutes out here and I've already lost it."
Naomi ripped up the miniscule fortune and stuffed it in her bag just as a strong wind blew over her head, blowing off her black cap.
"HEY! My cap! Get back here you good for nothin-OWW!"
Naomi hopped up and down on one foot while clutching the other, mumbling about evil chickens laughing at her suffering somewhere on a rocket ship in space. That was when she noticed she was barefoot. People didn't sleep with shoes. Her sneakers were probably still next to the couch.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF FRENCH TOAST! You could have at least let me keep my shoes!" Naomi shouted up at the sky. Those two were really not getting along well today.
Another hard gust of wind blew, blowing Naomi's cap even farther. Screaming a bunch of angsty, mumbly nonsense at the universe and the chickens that inhabited it, she went hopping after her hat, attempting not to stub her toe again.
"OW!"
Yes, this chapter is short, but the first couple will be, since they're just slightly revised versions of my original chapters. After that they'll probably get longer.
If you want me to continue this rewrite, please review and say so! I've got three other fanfics I'm working on here, and my time goes to the ones who review the most!
