Good!
A/N: This is my third story. So review!
Chapter 1:
$15 from to $350 – What to do with it.
I have fifteen dollars, but only in five dollar bills. I really need to get some change. It's strange, because in English we read a story about how a woman spends 15 dollars on all sorts of stuff. Never once, except in the beginning, does Mrs. Summers think about her five, yes five, kids. And yeah I know fifteen dollars isn't a lot of money, but back then it was a lot to her. If you do the math right, fifteen dollars then is three hundred and fifty dollars now.
Being in deep thought and in my own little world, I didn't notice Renee sneaking up be behind me. Until she scares the living daylights out of me. It takes me a moment to realize it was Ray. So I hit her. Of course, I get hit back, so gold figure. "Now, you know how it feels." She turns way from me and looks into the sea of students, rushing to their next classes. "Okay, I'm sorry Ray. I won't do it again." I move behind her and, you guessed it, poke her in the side. Of course I get hit again, by Renee. ( A/N: I get hit a lot in this story.) Naturally. "You try that again and I'm going to really hurt you!" I just grin and shrug it off. "Hey, here's an idea." I put my thirty pound back pack on the ground. "What if, say I don't know get sucked in to a game or something? Wouldn't that be fun?" Renee turns and gives me the look. You know the look that says "have you lost your mind". You that look. "I think you've been reading too many fanfictoin stories." She turns away from and waves Heather over to us.
"It was only a question. And besides something tells me that something weird is going to happen." I put my backpack back over my shoulder. "One, you paranoid." I try to stop her, but she keeps going. "Two, no I don't have any change. So don't ask. And three, lets go get something to eat, before the lines get to long." Nodding, I followed Renee and Heather up the stairs of N building and into the lunch room.
Renee's House
"Hurry up and put the game in while I get the soda. Morgan, you want coke? I nod and turn back to setting up the game system, as she ran down the stairs to the kitchen. Finally down setting up, I turn on the console and up the disk tray. "Man! I got that weird feeling again." CRASH! I ran down stairs. "Renee!" I found her in the living room picking up glass of what I think was a vase. "Are you okay? I thought something happened to you." I bent down to her pick up the broken glass. "Yeah, I'm okay. I was on my way back up stairs, when I heard this fall. What else can go?" She motioned to the pile of broken glass. Renee and I stand start off towards the kitchen, when unexpectedly the power. Grabbing Renee, after a few colorful words and phrases, I pull out my cell and turned on its flashlight. "Renee lets just leave the glass until the powers comes back on." In silent agreement, we grab our sodas and went up stairs.
When we got back to Renee's room the first thing that caught our attention was that the TV and game console was still on. But the TV screen was red. "Did the power come back on? Is it even plugged in? Cause it shouldn't be" She went check, but I already new the answer. I've read enough fanfictoin, to already know the situation. "Ah… Morgan?" She shows me the plug. I knew it. "It's not plugged in." "Crap!" But before we could say or do anything else, a blinding light in engulfed us.
There was nothing and there is nothing. I see and hear nothing. But what happened to Renee? What has happened to me!. I look around, nothing but a black void. "Hello? Can any one hear me?" Alright that's not going to work. So, there is only one left to do. "Hey fayth! I know you can hear me! Help us out will you?" And out one where there he was, the fayth. You'd think that they would look the same as the do in the game, when you're not in it I mean. But no. In the game it's a little boy, at least I think it's a boy. Then again. Right in front of my eyes is the hottest guy that I could ever imagine! "Hello, Morgan. We knew you would figure it out sooner or later." Me being captivated by this guy's hotness, I said nothing. "Come. We shall get your friend." He held out his hand and reluctantly I took it.
After who knows how long, I got the courage to say something. "Where are you taking me? Spira? Zanarkand?" I try to pull my hand way but I can't. "Spira. You get 350gil, because your $15 is 350gil. So, you can by what ever you like. But you should buy weapons, you'll need then later." Not once does he look at me, as he says this. Why do I fall for the quiet and mysterious one! Suddenly we appeared in a city. "Luca" I mouthed, as I was taking in the breath taking site.
"Morgan!" I turn to see Renee running towards me. "What was it I always wanted to say?" I take her hands and look her in the eyes. Oh yeah, I TOLD YOU SO!" I jumped around gleefully. While dodging hits left and right. "Ah… ladies?" We stop and look toward the fayth. "I think it is best that I take you shopping, for your stay in this world. And by the way, you can call me Dust." He bows, then takes my hand and kisses it. I blush madly. Yes people, I blushed. Seeing this, Renee just smiles. She is never going to let me forget. I just know it. While leading us to the nearest shop, Dust explained few things that should. We basically found out that, now that only people might change but not the events. That we had gotten to Luca two days before the annual blitzball tournament.
When we get to the weapons shop, Renee and I nearly drooled over all the sharp weapons. But what really caught my eye was a pair of 19.5 inch blood red Sai Set, it was 40gil, 20 set of Black and red throwing stars, 20gil. Grab them and take them to the counter. The sales person was surprised at my purchases, made a deal saying if could hit the bully's eye in the back of the shop six times in a row I could get my weapons cleaner and cases free. Of course I hit the bully's eye. After about five minutes, I'm side the shop waiting a Renee, with my new weapons, free cases and cleaner, and 90gil still in my pocket. Finishing up at the weapons shop we head over to the item shop. Where we half an hour. By the time we were done, I had bought 2 holy waters, 10 potions, 2 remedies,2 antidotes, and 2 esuna. With all the important stuff out of the way, I had 40gil left.
Seeing that both Renee and I were tired, Dust took us to the inn and pays for the rooms. "Dust you don't have to pay." He holds up a hand to silence me. "It's okay, really. I paid for the two days that we will be here." "You're staying with us?" Renee and I said in unison. We looked at each other and then broke down into complete laughter. Later that night, I awoke to find Renee still a sleep and dust gone. I get up and walk over to the window. Looking out of the window I thought about what was going on back home. I'm living ever gamers dream, to be able to live out his or her favorite video game. But why am I not happy? Maybe Renee is right. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
