The Island Princess:
Chapter 1: Another Day On The Island
A girl was walking through the jungle. Her blonde hair, streaked with brown, shining in the sunlight the trees let in. She had brilliant blue eyes, and tanned skin, and wore a white strapless dress that stopped at her knees. She picked a fruit of a high branch, and then started up the hill, a bit bored, craving a new adventure. Ro was her name or at least part of it. She didn't remember much of her past life, not even her name, she just remembered a song, and someone telling her to stay away from others like her if ever someone came to her island who looked like her. Which would probably never happen, she's been on the island for ten years, and never had anyone come.
Sooner than she had thought, she arrived at her destination, the cliff.
"Ro," She heard someone say, it was her cautious, less adventurous sister Meri. She was only other human on the island, and had been washed up on the shore as well. She looked exactly like Ro except reddish-brown hair, and brown eyes, and paler skin, "Come down here, Sagi will be waiting." Sagi. Sagi was a red panda, he acted as the co-leader of the animals, and the father of the girls.
"Okay." Ro said, and pretended to be going towards the other, less dangerous way to get to the river at the bottom of the cliff, but at the last minute she turned around, and ran at top speed towards the cliff, and jumped off. This girl knew no fear.
"No!" Meri said, realizing too late what her sister was about to do, "Not that way." Her sister hit the surface of the water, "Show off." Meri muttered, and looked over the edge of the canoe she and Ro had made. She tried to catch a glimpse of Ro, unaware that her adventurous sister was on the other side, coming up with another one of her notorious, playeful schemes.
"Ro, are you all right?" Meri asked, concern in her tone, "Well, you better be alright cause I'm not coming in after YOUU." Ro had flipped the canoe, and Meri fell out. From where she was, Meri could here Ro's chuckles, "Funny, Ro, real funny."
"Sorry," Ro said in a fake sincere voice, "I couldn't resist."
"You're lucky you're my sister." Meri said, and flipped the canoe over, "What were you doing out of bounds anyway?"
"Looking for trouble, most likely." A voice said. The two girls turned around to see Lily, a young jaguar, said.
"Lily, what are you doing here" Ro said.
"Looking for you two, come on if we don't get to the meeting Akane will be so mad you're late . . . again." Lily said.
"We better go then." Ro said, remembering the last time Akane, their panther leader, had gotten mad. She started to go down the river, and they got to the meeting place fifteen minutes later.
"I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up." Azul said, "Thank goodness you did or we'd have to listen to one of Akane's rants." Azul was a rather vain, selfish peacock, who liked to call himself Prince Of Peacocks, but deep inside he was one of the most generous people they knew. Beside them was little Tika the baby elephant, she was naïve, impulsive, and loyal. Ro looked at her as her little sister. Akane stepped onto a rock.
"We have recieved news," Akane said, "From the birds of the southern parts that there is a giant object floating on the sea, coming in this direction. For the safety of all, I warn every one of you to stay away from the creatures on the giant floating object. I repeat no one is to go near them." He looked straight at Ro, he knew that the girl was the most adventurous, and curious thing in the jungle which was one of her major flaws. Her curiosity leads her to so many problems. He also noticed the adventurous, scheming smirk on her face, and he wasn't the only one. Meri grabbed Ro's arm, and led her away as the meeting was dismissed.
"No." She said. She had realized what Ro was thinking about when they were talking about the floating object coming their way. Being Ro, who's always looking for adventure which if you translate it to anyone else's language equals trouble, she was going to go take a closer look at this floating object.
"Come on," Ro pleaded, "It'll be fun."
"You'll get killed." Meri said.
"That's an awfully judgemental way to talk about someone you don't know." Ro said, "Besides it's not like I'm coming up to them, and saying hello."
"What if you're caught." Meri asked.
"You worry too much." Ro said.
"Ro, I'm serious!" Meri said, "They can be dangerous." Ro sighed.
"Or maybe they're like us, and I'll keep my distance, I promise. Just let me see what they are, please" Ro said. Meri looked at her sister who had now put on a begging face, she was the only family she had left. The one person who she actually could call an actual family member. Call her a protective older sister if you want, but her sister was the only person she knew she could trust, and she wanted to protect her because that's what she was an over-protective sister. And she was sure if her parents were here they's be telling her to take care of her little sister.
"Oh, alright." Meri said, "Just don't get too close." Ro hugged her, she could always count on her sister.
"Thanks." Ro said.
"Your welcome." Meri said.

A/N: I know Ro is awfully out of character, but I like it better this way. It shows that she's not all sweet and king, and more rebellious and daring. As well as manipulative at times. And yes the cliff scene is from Disney's Pocahontas. I know very creative. Please review
