Hello! This is like my second fanfic I am writing now. I deleted my first because I felt like it was shit. This might end up to be shit too, but at least it will be better... (Maybe)
Disclaimer: What makes you think I am so pro to create two awesome game, and another equally awesome movie? If I could even get an A for maths, get into a coding course in 4 years time, or somehow get Katy Perry to voice act the cute Smurfette, then yeah, I own it, not.
Chapter 1: Timid, aka, The Clumsy HS.
"For the last time, Timid, we are supposed to get a girl named Akari."
We had been assigned by the Harvest Goddess to a mission. A mission to get a girl named Akari. Dunno why She paired me up with Mr Timid, Sir. Probably bent on killing me to work with that one hell of a Clumsy Smurf.
Anyway, Mr Timid Sir, hit the wrong notes and transported us to another world, another girl. And it is apparently a one-way spell, until we did what we came to do. I didn't assign him to sing the spell, what should I say... If anything goes wrong, blame the mighty Goddess (I'm kinda ashamed... actually)
We traveled to another world, another subject, another Akari. But this Akari would have to do for now... Just blame Timid, or Clumsy, or Coward, or whatever you want to call him. I sang the spell to Ni No Kuni, and transported her over. As usual, Timid messed up again, big time.
I blinked blankly at the sleeping girl,
"Uhhh... Timid? That isn't the Akari we wanted."
Timid pouted," Really? Well, at least she looks cuter!"
I raised an eyebrow, what the heck? "Cute is nothing, we need ABILITY"
"I'm sure she can help us too!" Timid frowned.
I stared, "What…spell did you use...?"
"The finding spell...?"
"What?!" I yelled, "We already had a girl in mind!"
"Heh...heh?"
I sighed, that idiot used a spell to find someone when all we had to do was just teleport. "Great, just great."
"I'm sure she is fine..."
"Whatever," I'm done with this idiot," hurry up and get her into our world."
Timid nodded and began singing a spell.
I waited for a moment before singing as well, placing crops in the room and sprinkling a bit of orange magic dust on them.
The spell was starting to take effect, my vision turning hazy and a mist surrounded the room. From the corner of my eye, Timid somehow tripped and green magic dust was scattered on the floor. Uh oh... Let's all applause the amazing side effect Mr Timid, Sir, had added free of charge. I'm pretty sure the girl would love it, like, a lot.
Actually, I lied. It wasn't a side effect. It basically changed the destination and time of the teleporting spell. Instead of standing in front of the Goddess pond in Mineral Town, we found ourselves in a boat-Pascal's boat.
I looked at Timid, "Thanks."
He smiled, "You are welcome."
A whistling could be heard. Crap, what time is it? I glanced at Timid, but then decided over him and looked up at the sky. About 11am I guess...
"Timid," I hissed," When did you tele us to?"
He answered sheepishly, "The time when Akari was supposed to go to the island?"
I sighed. Whew, at least the girl won't be caught as a stowaway... Both of us are small enough to hide away quickly... Wait, why am I thinking bout his safety? But he is my brother after all... Screw it. Anyway, we should be safe.
"Timid, I'll toss the blame to you."
He smiled even bigger, "Try."
Oh yeah, Timid is the Harvest Goddess's pet.
"Fine, get Chef for me, will ya?"
He nodded and started to chant.
"And please stay there!" I yelled.
A small flash of light disappeared as quickly as it appeared and Timid was gone. Silent Hooray. I waited, and Chef appeared.
"Hey, what's up?"
I blinked, "Timid didn't say?"
My brother gave a small chuckle, "I heard, and there is nothing I can do."
"At least having you here is better then Timid..." I muttered under my breath.
He grinned, crapp, "We should hang around here until she wakes up, and then visit the sick Goddess. Bold and Staid are already there."
Oh whew, I thought he heard me... Then I frowned, " What about the girl?"
"The girl?" I nodded, "You can stay here if you want, and I'll check it out."
The frown stayed. An uneasy feeling spread throughout my body, giving me slight shivers. "Okay..."
A groan could be heard, and the girl stirred. Chef looked at her and threw some red magic dust in the air, "Bye Nappy!" and Poof! Gone goes the red sprite!
Great... I take that back, Chef wasn't much use either... Maybe just a little over half of what Timid did. I hopped on the bedside table and stared at the girl. Stare, stare, stare.
The girl sat up sleepily, rubbed her eyes and yawned loudly. Then she stretched herself like a cat and got a muscle cramp.
"Ow..." she groaned.
I snickered softly, but did not move.
She looked around and froze. The only thing that moved was her eyes.
"Uh... Where are my specs...?" She muttered.
Wow, she woke up in a strange room and only cared about her glasses... I quickly retrieved her glasses from her world.
"Oh... There is it... Thanks."
Now it was my turn to freeze. Did she see me? Nahhh... I doubt so.
" Where am.. What's this?"
She looked at me with a curious smile, " Ello..."
She is not worried? Not at least a bit of panic? I spoke, I couldn't help myself.
"You are not afraid?"
She jumped, blinking frantically, "Uh... You can talk?"
I shook my head, '' I can only bark."
She smiled, and looked around. The fear was written on her face, but she was trying hard not to show it.
"Where am I? Little HS."
HS? Harvest sprite? She knows me? "In a boat."
She opened the door, "Thanks for the info."
"Uh... "
"Will the ship be destroyed in a storm?"
What...? "no... I guess."
She looked relaxed, and then bit her lip. "Whew... So... Um... Why am I here?"
"You know where you are?"
'' I saw Pascal. And yeah, I recognized him... And you look just like a harvest sprite... What the heck am I dreaming bout?!"
Dreaming? "What's your name...?"
"Sakura."
Sakura... Nice name. "I'm Nappy."
"Ello, uh... Can I wake up now? It's fun meeting you and all, but I wanna go home."
Home? Ohhh... She thought she was dreaming. "Sakura... Just blame Timid."
"Timid? Nappy? Mineral Town... Harvest Moon? Hey hey hey, this is just a very weird dream. How the heck can I even get into a game?"
I think Akari is easier to handle. "Blame Timid. He used the wrong spell."
She raised an eyebrow, "But that's impossible!"
Yup! Akari is wayyy easier. This girl must be Expert level. "Blame Timid. We were supposed to bring you to meet the Goddess so she can explain it to you. But he messed up and sent you here."
She muttered something under her breath. I could hear what she said, but couldn't understand the language. "Bu shi bah... Zhen cao gao." (No way, what dumb luck)
"Uh..."
"Tell me more, if the boat will arrive there safe and sound."
The Goddess should have made sure of that... '' Our Goddess sent me and Timid to fetch a girl named Akari, apparently, she can save her sister's island. Timid did blah blah blah... Then Poof! You are here."
She stayed silent for a while. "Then what about back home? If I really went to Ni No Kuni?"
I scratched my hat, "Uh... I dunno. But you did really come to another world - our world!"
She stayed silent again, until the boat was about to dock. "Then what bout my homework? The animal crossing game? Everyone's gonna move away and I haven't got their pictures yet! Then... Um... I still got a project to do and erm..."
I stared, obviously she was just complaining to herself. "Sakura...?"
She stopped her frantic mumbling and looked up, "Whatt...?" she said in a bored voice.
"You are Akari, because that's what everyone thinks. Also, please don't tell anyone about you being from Ni No Kuni. Everyone would freak out."
She stared," Done. But saving the tree..."
"If you heard about us, you should know how to save the tree! Please!"
She seemed amused, "I guess I can try... No Finn?"
Finn? Who is that? "Who?"
"No Hikari?"
"Um... No."
She pouted, ''Aww... I like that little guy..."
"Dunno who is it, but you got to help out the isle. Everyone is pinning their hopes on you..."
She smiled, "Even you...?"
I shrugged," I guess."
Suddenly, the boat began to sway violently. We both yelped and Sakura grabbed onto a table. The pattering of the rain could be heard on the deck
minutes later.
"I thought you said no storm!"
I was as puzzled as she was. "I..I..It doesn't look like it would rain!"
She looked a little pissed, but relaxed after a while, "I hope Pascal can make it..."
"Pascal? Who- Ohh...Staid might be able to help, and so does Aqua. But neither is here now, so that's unfortunate."
She stuck her tongue out, "Dunno what cha saying, But I better go see if Pascal's okay."
Whatt? "No! No! You'll get hurt!"
Despite all my objections, she insisted on going out. But luckily, a yell from the Mr Awesome Pascal could be heard from above.
"Akari! Stay in your room okay? The storm's really bad, and I'm trying to control it!"
Control the storm? What a laugh, only Staid, Aqua, The Harvest Goddess and King could calm the storm down...I think? Perhaps some other HS could
do it too, but none I know. But at least Sakura seems to give up and take his advice.
"You win, Nappy."
I made a face at her and she laughed, still clenching the table. She looked a little pale though. I tilted my head in a sort of questioning way.
"Seasick?"
She stuck her tongue out again.
I just grinned and showered her with some of my orange magic dust, "Better?"
Nod.
"Great, I really have to go now. Gotta tell the Goddess what happened and maybe calm the sea or something. Take care."
She nodded again and I threw up another handful of my dust, singing a song very quietly.
Hi! Just a couple of notes:
1. Sakura is kinda based on me. Hooray! But she looks like Akari because i fell in love with the character after watching a short lets play for TOT. An Akari with glasses because I was too lazy to edit it again.
2. I like to think that the HS are the helpers of the Goddess (... actually, aren't they?) So they perform errands for their Goddess. In this case, the Mineral Town HG decides to help out Waffle Island's HG since you know, the Tree is dying. So the Mineral Town's HG ( lets call them MTHG, and WFHG) sends Nappy and Timid to get 'Akari', the protagonist of the game.
3. And because Timid is such a clumsy HS, yeah, you know what happened.
4. Nappy is a grumpy old dude, like Chase, Gill, Neil, uh..Gray... Cos he always have the least amount of hearts in my games. So does Hoggy. Bold is pretty easy, if you don't forget his birthday. Oh sorry, getting off-topic here.
5. Now back to Sakura, She knows Chinese and English. But I won't use Chinese a lot, just to curse people off, lol.
6. Ni no Kuni is a game. A really cool game. And I am pretty sure it meant 'Another World', so when they say 'Ni no Kuni' , just translate into 'Another World'. Sorry for the confusion. I used that phrase cos it sounds cool.
7. This seems pretty late, but the Finding spell Timid used means that it finds someone, like a tracker or something. And that someone is pretty random.
8. The reason why I made that whole, dun-come-out- thing is to let you guys know that Pascal knows her existence... Yeah, weird. I know.
9.I always wanted to write a fanfic. Well, I wrote a lot, but it is all on paper. And I'm very lazy to type it out. Erm... Good bye!
10. Yeah, I know I said a couple of notes... But..Bleh, screw it.
