Hi! This is my first story! I've been reading different stories before this, but I haven't actually written one myself! My OC is originally a human, but I thought it would be fun to have an AU where she is a Nomad. For all my friends who ship it, I'm sorry to say that I'm not making Rander cannon in this fanfic. I man have hints throughout the story, but I really don't think I'll move into shipping corner in this story.
Hope you enjoy this dark but powerful story about my (hopefully) interesting character!
Chapter 1
"Look, Syl!" The bubbly Star Nomad pointed down at a passing by planet. It was full of light and what seemed to be a party going on below.
To whom may look at the two, a fluffy and adorable orange spoon with eyes too big for his head, and a weird horse-like my little pony rip-off carrying him on her black saddle, in a floating bubble through the bright and beautiful colors of space, may be slightly confused by the scene. Truth is, these two were best friends, a couple of pals, travelling the galaxy together on orbbal juice. Too bad for the Star Nomad, the Zbornak wasn't too into partying. Ever.
"They look like they are havin' a blast! Can we go down there ppplllleeeeaaassseee!" The Nomad, who goes by Wander, slightly pulled on the reins of his trusty Zbornak, Sylvia.
"Listen, bud. It's lunch time. We were lookin' for a place to eat, remember? There is a nice spot to grab a bite down at Zanbar 5, and that's where we are goin'." Sylvia sternly but reasonably answered her best friend, who sat tight, apparently forgetting how hungry he also was.
It didn't take them long to reach the nice palm trees and flowing waves of Zanbar 5. Although mostly beach, it had a small city behind it, of all different species. Wander immediately hopped off her back as the bubble popped and the two landed. He immediately started to wander off.
"Oh no, you don't." Sylvia grabbed him with her tail and brought the ball of fur up to her eye level. "It's easy to get lost here. I don't wanna go searchin' for ya in this mess. It'll take too flarpin' long, and I'm starving." Sylvia quickly put Wander back on her saddle, and ran into the city.
They settled with a place called "Bud's Cafe", Where Sylvia had a serving of Jellyfish Pie, and Wander had three helpings of salad. While on his second helping however, Wander overheard a conversation from another table. As bad as eavesdropping was, they were noisy folk.
"Didgya hear? There is a thief runnin' the streets around the town! The police are after em', of course."
"Why is everyone still here then? Shouldn't we evacuate?"
"He's not a murderer, idiot. I'm just tellin' ya in case ya spot anyone suspicious around the area. Apparently his name is Rory, he is yey high, and always wears a tuxedo."
"Tuxedo? Interesting. I'll keep a look out."
As the two finished their meals, they started out the door. Sylvia insisted to stay a bit, which Wander didn't mind at all. Sylvia set up their own space by the beach, and reclined in a beach chair, enjoying the calm time by herself. Not a care in the world.
Wander, however, couldn't sit still like Sylvia. He bounced from stranger to stranger, helping with an assortment of things. Like adjusting their umbrellas or protecting tanners from incoming splashes and waves from the water, getting himself wet in the process.
"HEY, SYLVIA!" Wander yelled. 'I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT THIS NICE LITTLE TOWN A BIT MORE! ENJOY YOUR RELAXATION!" Wander shouldn't have yelled so loudly, given the fact that Sylvia was so close. His yells disrupted her and the other beach dwellers.
"Uhu. Kay, Wander. Just don't go far or get lost or whatever." Sylvia lazily answered, not opening her eyes to say it.
Wander beamed and left her alone. He traveled up the dock and onto the streets. He scanned the people's faces while he walked by, trying to remember every one. He found himself in an alleyway, not expecting to wander over here. Suddenly, the sounds of police sirens echoed through the streets. This brought back Wander to the conversation he had heard. Could the thief be around here?
Almost right on cue a voice shouted from behind him:
"LOOK OUT!"
Wander turned around to come face to face with a stranger who was running at him. They collided as it sent Wander flying to the ground. Wander hastily picked his head up, mumbling after the fall. Two objects fell beside Wander. A bowler hat, and a pair of sunglasses. After realizing that they came from the folk he had collided with, he picked up the two and walked over to the person, holding its head on the ground. Wander gasped. They wore a tuxedo. Just like the thief. Wander didn't want to find the thief, the guilt being with him if he did or did not hand him over to the police wouldn't be pleasant. He gave a sigh of relief as a definite girl looked up at him, with almost the same eyes as his own. But different. She had dark circles under her eyes, and she had them half closed, looking slightly sarcastic. Her fur was dirty blonde,and so was her long, slightly puffy hair that ran down her back. She was awfully pretty, yet, broken and sort of creepy.
"Hey, ya tryin' to steal my stuff, wise guy?" She snapped. Her voice was high-pitched, nazily and dripping with sarcasm. Some would say she was already unpleasant, but she was a new friend to Wander. Not only that,
She was a Star Nomad.
"Hiya, there! Folks call me Wander!-"
"As much as I'd love to start a conversation with a stranger I met in a dark alley, I'm sorta in the middle of something so, couldya give me back my stuff?" The girl interrupted Wander, obviously in a hurry. Wander nodded and gave the girl her stuff back. She put on the bowler hat, tucking her nice, long hair up in it, and putting on the sunglasses again. "If you are wondering, the name's Rory. But, you've probably already heard of me. Chances are, you'll be seeing me again." She smirked, laughing as she ran away. Her laugh was not cute. It sounded crazy.
Wander gaped. That was the thief! It was a girl in disguise! A Star Nomad! Wander wondered what she meant by: "Chances are, you'll be seeing me again."
That's when he realized that his hat was gone.
