Our first fic! Please be kind!

In Brittney's Point of View:

The first thing that I would like to say is that this story is not once upon a time. However much I would like to say it, it's not true. Anyway, this story didn't begin once upon a time, but one bright summer morning, when my sister, Mallory, and I went on a trail ride. (Before you exclaim, sisters! I would like to interject something. I know we don't look anything alike. I mean, I have black hair, mocha eyes, and pale skin, and she has blonde hair, gray eyes, and tan skin, and we do not look anything alike. This is because we are adopted.) O-kay, back to the story. So, we went to the stables near our house, which we do practically every time we can because we are both horse obsessed, and Jenna, she's the manager, let us go on a trail ride by ourselves, and we hardly ever get to do that because we're only intermediate and when you're only intermediate, you need an instructor. But, anyway, she let us go by ourselves, so I mounted Annie, who's got white socks, which I think is so cute, and Mallory got on Sophie, who's a palomino (did you know that palominos were mutations of certain types of horse breeds? They taught us that in science) and we rode off into the sunset. Well, not really, but it sounds much more romantic that way.

When we had ridden half-way around the trail, I had the weird sensation of not being able to breathe, and I looked over a Mallory, and she mouths, "I can't breathe!" I tried to talk but I couldn't so I mouthed back, "Me neither!" It was very weird. It was like we were walking through a blob of clear Jell-O. And then, just when I thought I'd die from not being able to breathe, we were out of the clear Jell-O, and we could breathe. We breathed heavily, filling ourselves with air, until we realized that we were being watched. In fact, we were facing about 10 mounted knights. This one guy, he had sapphire-colored eyes, and black hair, and a crown, so I sort of figured he was the king, came up and told us his name was King Jonathan, and asked us very politely what ours were.

"I'm Brittney, and this is Mallory," I said.

"Howdy, partner," said Mallory.

"Mal!" I said aggravated.

"What did you just say?" asked that King Jonathan guy.

Mallory must've realized that she was being disrespectful, and said, "Hi," meekly.

"Where did you come from?" he asked.

"Maryland," said Mallory and I at the same time.

"Where?"

So, I repeated, "Maryland," and I added, "U.S.A" just in case he'd never heard of Maryland. But that was silly. Of course we were still in Maryland, unless...uh-oh, I thought.

"The good old United States of America," said Mallory, and started to sing "America the Beautiful."

"Shut up!" I yelled at her. The king had gone back to confer with his knights. They were whispering something. "What are you whispering about?" I asked.

The king step forward, and said, "We think you two are goddesses."

O-kay, I thought, confused, and Mal and I started to laugh. Well, actually, I understood why they thought we were goddesses or whatever. We were wearing Mudds and tube tops, and they were wearing...what? Medieval clothing or something? The knights were staring at us as if we came out of nowhere. Wait, we did.

I decided to put an end to this whole charade. "O-kay, dude," I said, "We are not goddesses. O-kay?"

"O-kay," said Mallory.

"O-kay," I said back to her.

We did this a few more times, making our voices go a squeaky and high-pitched as the could, when the king yelled, "Shut up!"

"O-kay," we both said.

"Let's got to the castle," the king said, "We can talk more there."

"Lead the way, peps," I said.

~In the Castle~

"O-kay, so you two are from Maryland, U.S.A., United States of America?" asked King Jon.

"Nope. U.S.A. stands for United States of Amerca. Other than that, yep, pretty much."

"All right," said King Jon, but he still looked confused.

"One question," I said, "Where the **** are we?"

"In Tortall, of course," said the King.

Mallory and I then said something I'm sure we don't want our mother to hear.

~Next Day~

"You know what?" I said to Mallory. We were in the room that the king had given us.

"What?" she asked.

"I want a lap-top to write this all down. I can see it now: Brittney, famous for the discovery of Tortall."

"Hey, what about me?" Mallory asked. "Actually, I don't really care. You can have everything, as long as I can have a stereo player with out favorite C.D.'s"

At this moment, the king came into our room. "What are those?" he asked pointing, "Anyway, as I was saying, we think you two are godesses. You're different, and you have different magic than us."

"Those," I said, looking where he pointed, "Are a laptop, a stereo, and C.D.'s, and we have no magic." But I had to wonder how did all those things get here if we hadn't conjured them up?

The End of Chapter 1! Please be kind in your reviews! Oh, yeah, review or we probably won't put the next bit up.
