CoCo

Prologue

By Edna Sophie Zzrustik

The story you are about to read is about a dumb bitch named CoCo. The story and character both put me, the authour, to shame due to the fact that this is all a fullfilment of my fantasies. But I feel I ought to give CoCo a chance. She has sort of grown on me, so to say. So here I am, sharing her existence with the world. Don't expect this to be the greatest fan fiction you've ever read, cuz I guarentee that it won't. Like I said, this is a fullfillment of my own personal fantasies, so it won't demonstrate much creative wrtiting, if I even posess any to begin with. But I guess that writing is only half of it. The other half is your part, reading it. I advise you to take your time reading this, you're in no rush. Obviously if you are reading this, you were already looking to waste time. Without futher adu, I present you my fiction. I hope it won't be a complete waste of your time.

Now where do I begin this shameful tale? I suppose the best place would be to start is the beginning. I gotta get this expositional crap out of the way somehow, I guess.

CoCo is a squirrel. She is not some super squirrel or any kind of hero chosen by the gods. No, none of that here. She is just a brown squirrel with purple hair and green eyes, born in the ghettos of a small squirrel village. She had a small family, just a mom, dad and an older sister. Now, CoCo's parents were blessed, not by CoCo, but by her sister. Coco's sister is smart and talented, unlike CoCo whom is an idiot. Her sister had a lot going for her; anybody could see that she would do something great with her life. CoCo had a lot to live up to. Her parents were often disappointed with her. They could never imagine her being some wonderful citizen of the squirrel race. But CoCo didn't really care. She was going to live her life the way she wanted to, nobody's opinon mattered to her. She wasn't set out to prove anything to anybody. Life would be her decisions, she paved her own path.

As the very first sentence in this story suggests, CoCo is, indeed, very dumb. She is not retarded, nor does she have any kind of learing disablities. She simply is not an intelligent being. Gullibe, ignorant, naive, and stupid are all fairly vivid words to describe her. She'll believe anything you tell her. Anything! She has a hard time catching on to things, such as jokes and what not. She's very ditzy. If you have ever seen a movie called Forrest Gump, then you'll know what I mean when I quote:

"Stupid is as stupid does."

- Forrest Gump

CoCo had a hard time making honest friends, due to her idiocracy. Her only true friends were Conker and Berri. (I think you all know who these two are!) She was extremely loyal to her friends, sticking her neck out for them in times of need. And they returned the favour. Often being the subject of ridicule, CoCo developed some self-esteem issues. Conker and Berri picked her up when she was down. They stood up for her. They helped her regain her social attitude. Their friendship continued to stay strong, even as they grew up to be adults. At this time, CoCo managed to find something she was good at. Parties!

Being one hell of a DJ, CoCo was always the life of the party. She knew how to resurrect any party that went dead. Her "party animal instinct" made up for her lameness as a child, thus her popularity grew during adulthood. Everybody, and I mean everybody wanted CoCo to be the DJ at their parties. Weddings, proms, anniverseries, birthdays...even just slow nights at the local pub. And, boy, did she make bank! She was a daring individual. She took extreme measures to make sure every party was a gas, even if it meant getting a bit crazy...Or a lot crazy! 'Life fast, die young' were the words she lived by. So, I guess her life didn't turn out so bad after all. Hell, it turned out way better than what her parents expected!

However, as great as this may all seem, CoCo often wondered what else life had to offer her. Don't get me wrong, she loved her career, her village, her friends, but she felt like she still hadn't found the dub in her life. And to be honest, do any of us really find it anyway? Well, possibly not, but there is another thing you ought to know about CoCo. She has a very perky sense of determination. She may not be smart, but she is not a quitter! Nothing'll stop her from getting what she desires or else she'll die trying!

During her rare philosophical moments, CoCo would often times ponder her true purpose. Was she, perhaps, destined for greater things? You and I both know that the answer to that question is no. I already told you that she is not some hero chosen and fated by the gods. But, hey, we can let the girl dream. She also thought about love. A lot. Having a hard time with romance during her adolescent years, I guess it would be natural to wonder if she would ever find her 'Mr. Wonderful.' And sure enough, some nights consisted of dreaming and wishing and hoping that one day a devilshy handsome man would walk right into her life. But you know, they say you can't hurry love, that you find when you stop looking for it, in places you least expect it. And CoCo is no exception. You just wait and see. Perhaps she will find a man and possibly a new purpose...
