Ok this is my first Fruit Basket story so please review if there is something wrong. Also I haven't read the books in a while so if there is something wrong you can tell me that too.
Disclaimer: I do nt own Fruits Basket
A group of girls sat near a computer: one typing, two reading the conversation,one sitting in a chair rolling her eyes at her friends and one eating from a bowl of popcorn, imitating her friends at the computer.
"Oh, are you talking to hotness, or coolness?" said Connie with the bowl of popcorn.
"Oh they have learned their names, have they?." muttered Penny. This is pathetic. They were flirting with these boys online and when they saw the picture and didn't like them they quit talking to them. That was so rude and horrible! How could they do that!
"Oh, ask him if he plays any sports." Penny rolled her eyes. They were beingso shallow. There was typing and a pause, then giggles and more typing. Part of Penny was curious, but she knew she would roll her eyes and groan if she saw the conversation.
"Penny, don't be such a party pooper." the girl typing, Tina, turned around as if reading Penny's thoughts.
"If being a party pooper means having some decency then I will sit here and be one." Penny retorted, knowing it was sort of lame.
Hun, just chill out." said, Kelly, the girl who had asked about sports.
"What is with you guys anyway? All of the sudden you have almost no self control with flirting,it's getting to be sad."
"I have plenty of self control," said Tina evenly. "Like how I am stopping myself from letting my fist meet your face."
"Oooooo I'm so scared, you, who can't even make a fist for fear of breaking a nail, is threatening me." Penny pretended to stop her makeup from running by waving her hand frantically in front of her face, "I am so s-s-scared." she said while jumping from one foot to the other in mock fear.
"Will you shut it?" Tina yelled, marching over to where Penny was.
"What are you going to do? Slap me!" Penny dared.
At that moment the til now quiet Jill jumped in between them and held them at arm's length. "Ok you two, let's settle down before I call in the bouncers." the bouncers being her younger brothers, both of whom constantly wanted piggyback rides that not many were willing to give after the first time.
The two girls glared at eachother but went to their corners to vent on the other in the arguements going on in there minds.
An hour later Connie went to get more popcorn and saw that they were out.
"We can go get some more," offered Jill. "Who wants to come?"
"I will." said Kelly, now bored with the computer.
"Now if you two start fighting again," Jill warned "I'll have the boys come out here, to much noise will make them hyper."
The two girls rolled there eyes and had said goodbye to there friends when Penny decided to make amends.
"I apologize," she started. "I was being harsh, it just doesn't seem fair, what you guys are doing."
"It's ok, besides," she pointed out. "The guys are probably doing the same thing."
Penny knew that might be true. "Hey look at this," Tina said a minute later. "A website with stories from that anime, Fruits Basket."
Penny liked that series and moved to a chair next to Tina's to get a better look.
"Fanfiction?" Penny said. "Never heard of it."
"I was looking up Fruits Basket and found it." Tina explained. "Ooooooo this looks good." she clicked on one of the stories and read for a minutes. They read a couple of them.
"That's sad." Tina stated, "If I were Tohru I would want a hug, but if they hug her they turn into animals...then I would be like NOOOO I want my hot guy back!"
Penny almost rolled her eyes. "They're PICTURES! How can you think cartoons are HOT!"
"Because they are." Tina said defiantly.
"Have fun with your cartoon boyfriend I guess, I would prefer to have a real-"
"Oh yes," Tina mocked. "A boyfriend that likes your MIND. Good luck with that hun, the guys our age aren't lookin for a brain." Penny didn't reply, she knew Tina was right, and NO she didn't want a guy who liked her for her brain, one that wasn't a jerk would be fine...
"I mean for goodness sakes," Tina continued "Your sixteen and have like, never been kissed."
"Oh my gosh." Penny said exasperated, leaning her head on her hand. Why did Tina act like it was so important? If she found a guy she liked, then she found a guy she liked, but Tina was into the 'who has been kissed the most' and sometimes bragged about the guys she had been with. Penny didn't agree with Tina about guys.
"What's that?" asked Penny, trying to change the subject.
An advertisement had popped up onto the screen and read : Love Fruits Basket? yes or no
Tina clicked 'yes' It disappeared and another came up that said: Ever think what it would be like to be inside the books? yes or no
Tina clicked 'yes' though Penny doubted her imagination wandered to far past the boys in the book.
This one disappeared and the next window said: Wanna see what it's like? yes or no
"Um...Tina..." Penny didn't have a good feeling about this. What if it gave the computer a virus or something?
But Tina had already clicked 'yes' this time when the window disappeared the next one had a timer on it, counting down a minute.
"OH MY GOSH TINA CLOSE IT NOW!" Penny yelled. This was Jill's family's new computer. If they messed it up they would have to pay for a new one.
Tina was frantically clicking the close button to no avail.
"Control Alt Delete!' yelled Penny, lunging for the keyboard at the same time as Tina. The timer now was at thirty seconds. It didn't work, no screen popped up.
The timer was at fifteen seconds.
"PULL OUT THE PLUG!" yelled Penny. Tina dived under the desk as the clock was at ten seconds.
"Which one is it?" Tina yelled. There were so many plugs.
five, four, three
"Pull them all out!"
but the timer had hit zero
Penny felt sick. For a moment she thought it was because of what might have just happened to the computer, but she felt light headed and realised she was standing up. She went to sit down but there was no chair. Everything was dark and she felt...and then she blacked out.
So what do you think? Please review and tell me!
