AN: Now then, I hope that someone will actually read this authors note. This is my first fanfiction ever, so it might be good, moderate or down to earth crappy! I respect all reviewers (well, not flamers), but if someone criticize my writing I thank you for actually taking your time to read my story and to comment. That way I can learn! Nice little comments are always fun to get, but hey, it's all up to you ;)
A person can never really know when to expect the unexpected. For three girls the quite unexpected sun managed to produce these exact thoughts. Long had they been friends, since early childhood. Now, two at the age of 16 and one at 17, they still held close together and entertained their lives with a touch of craziness as they felt bored or needed a break from the never-ending routines called life.
The burning star stung hard and mercilessly upon their unfortunately pale, Norwegian skin. There had never been such a heat wave in the northern part of Europe, not to mention on the ever so gloomy south-west coast of Norway. No clouds were there to shield them from blazing heat and neither did they feel a gust of soothing wind upon their faces. Even the shadows were currently in a cruel mood as they hid quietly from whomever who sought them for cover.
As the three girls were walking down their neighbourhood, a long agonizing groan was released from the third one of the party.
"Why, in our lifetime and generation, did Norway decide to suddenly turn the heater up? When would anyone in this country consider getting a damned air-conditioner!" said a bright, purple haired girl.
The colour was given glossy shine as the sun was nicely roasting her head. Her eyes were currently hidden by a pair of solid, black sunglasses, desperately trying to cover her face. If a person looked closely with a hint of imagination, no doubt one would spot some steam rising from her head and continuing its journey towards the azure sky. Her hand flew towards the arm of a slightly taller girl whose skin had already caught a red tint.
As she was answered with silence another painfully long groan was let out. Slowly she sunk down to the ground. Soon after she was joined by her two younger friends, who patted her shoulder with the deepest sympathy as they all suffered from the heat.
"Aw no, my skin is sunburnt. How did I not notice? I shouldn't even get a sunburn, I'm quarter Mexican!" said the rather slim girl whose arm was still practically embraced by her older friend.
"Katarina, I'm going to need that arm and I refuse to chew it off, you'll have to let go sooner or later!" she said towards the exhausted girl on the ground. She let the free hand slide over her forehead in hope of removing the heavy layer of sweat. Her short hair that once proudly defied gravity itself now hung like a lifeless plant.
Katarina let go of her friend's arm, and as she turned her head upwards she could not resist letting out a hoarse laugh. "Ehehe, I think your hair just got dehydrated." Jeez, even my humour is drying out.
Miriam let out something similar to a yelp as she frantically began to pamper her the dead plant. Eli, the one who had remained silent, gave out a sigh as she looked towards the sky. Her bright blue eyes squinted as the sun shone brightly. Silently, almost desperately, she wished they were on a nice, cooling beach listening to seagulls cry to the waves and winds. This is bad! I might just start praying! Oh well, I'm normally not a praying person, but if you can hear me, save me superman!
When silence fell between the three friends Katarina's eyes went towards the conveniently placed forest. Fond childhood memories came to mind as she gazed at the trees and the remains of a small tipi built by them many years ago. She found it hard to believe how they avoided getting lost the countless times they went exploring. The green lushness spread deep and all she could see was trees, trees, a beach and more trees. Wait, a beach?
"Uh, guys…" she muttered out quietly. Miriam and Eli snapped out of their thoughts and turned their attention towards their friend. Katarina's face seemed to slacken and her eyes, removed of sunglasses, were spread widely in disbelief as she slowly pointed her finger towards the outskirts of the forest. Eli let out a gasp, thinking about her wish from before. Superman… if I ever doubted you, I'm sorry!
"Ok, that's it!" Miriam cried out, "I'm going inside! The heat is apparently messing with my mind. There is no way I'm hallucinating about a magical beach by the refreshing, blue… sea…" she fell silent. With new found energy she shot up and ran towards the inviting ocean. With no time to process what was going on the two other girls followed her with hasty steps. Eli frowned as she looked towards Miriam. "I swear that kid constantly gets some kind of sugar rush, how else would you explain her running in this blasted heat?"
Katarina only nodded vaguely as she put her shades back on and began to speed up. "I have no idea! But frankly, I don't give a damn."
Eli laughed as she quickly matched Katarina's pace and soon enough they had their shoes off, enjoying the feeling of cool sand sneaking in between their toes. Not too far away a seagull cried as if it was calling for the winds. Out of nowhere a breeze so wonderful and relieving with the taste of salt brushed their faces. Like in my wish... Eli thought to herself.
"Katarina, I wished for this! I freaking wished for this in my mind, and here we are... or is this just a dream?" I must be going crazy! Oh well, losing your mind is more like a promise when hanging out with these two!
With a confused expression, Katarina turned her black shades towards her friend "Wished... dream?" She reached a hand towards Eli and gave her a solid smack on the head.
"Ouch! What was that for?" Eli wined. Katarina gave her a snigger and faced the sea once more. "Not a dream!"
Nearby Miriam was preparing to jump in the ocean from a cliff. She hit the water with a nice 'kabloosh'.
When her head broke the surface she yelled towards her two friends. "Maybe this is a place where all our wishes become reality? Oh, like Peter Pan or... no that's not it... gah, you get the picture!"
With a slight chuckle Katarina shock her head. "Do you really think so, are you sure this not some wacko dream like Eli said?" Miriam laughed as her eyes were planted on the horizon. "Hey there magical world, I wish for us an adventure with treasures, pirates and really bad eggs!"
Silence...
The three the girls let out a disappointed sigh each. Perhaps this really is a dream. Perhaps we're all lying there, in our neighbourhood roasting up with a dash of hallucinations. Katarina thought to herself, a little puzzled.
"I guess I really shouldn't cause panic or anything… but guys, the forest is gone." Eli squeaked out.
Behind them only white sand stretched towards the opposite horizon. The forest had disappeared! Panic overwhelmed the girls and no one noticed that the bourbon of the reefs was getting louder by the second. The waves threw themselves at the shore more violently and a fierce wind rushed harshly by them.
The three friends never had time to react to the monstrous wave that rose to the skies, and so they were pulled to the deep ends of seas, never to be seen in this world again.
AN: I'm actually gambling with this fanfiction. I want to continue, but life for everyone is busy. I will simply try my best!
