*Beep. Beep. Beep."
I moved around my bed, trying to shake the sleepiness, but I ended up finding myself in a better sleeping position and releasing a content sigh. Why is my alarm on anyway? It's not like I have school today.
... Ah
I promised Dmitri that I'll join him to... what do you call that place again? MeetGreet? No wait it was something else ahh I think it was SwapMeet.
I groaned.
Why did I promise to go with him today?...ahh I've been spending too much time with tinkering, but the sound of sleep feels so inviting (not as inviting as tweaking my googles to be right now to make it something similar to Fenton finder and no I didn't steal the blueprints or anything.)
I sighed.
A promise is a promise and a Fenton never breaks a promise.
I forced myself to sit up and dragged myself out of bed then I groggily walked to my drawers and pick random clothes then proceeded to dragged myself to the bathroom.
Just to find myself be almost assaulted by the door.
"Sorry sis!" Cue my older brother, Daniel Fenton or Danny (that sounded cooler to me)
I could feel my eyes sparkled and the cobwebs of my mind clearing.
"Good morning Danny." I happily chirped. He smiled back "Morning Ali, you have to do something today? You usually wake up late during weekends."
I groaned remembering the promise "I told Dmitri that I'll go with him to somewhere." He was about to say something but suddenly his phone signaled that he has a message. He checked his phone and his eyes scanned the screen.
"Ah I'll talk to you later Ali. Me and Tucker are going to the SwapMeet today. Later!" Before he ran off he glanced at what I'm holding then walked away.
I followed his line of sight and saw my googles, purple squared with red tint glass like mom and dad's, then my mind wandered off as I went into the bathroom.
I have three sets of the same googles though, one I'm tinkering, which is hidden at the back of the drawer, one as a spare, on top of my desk, and one I'm holding right now.
'Why would he stare at it though?' I looked at my clothes. 'It seems normal...' Ahhh I remembered a week ago Danny caught me inventing in the kitchen( I know my family wouldn't be home for a while and I wanted a change of position so sue me I was caught.)
"What are you doing?" Danny asked. I cannot not answer. "Upgrading my googles." I actually told him. "...For what?"
..."For ghosts..." I can't lie to him!
His face paled, although he was already pale enough. "Good luck with that sis!" Then quickly went upstairs. I simply shrugged and decided to ignore that in favor of continuing my project before the others come back home.
I forgot he doesn't like ghosts related gadgets, if his reactions to mom and dad's any to go by,so that would've explained his actions back then.
Weirdly enough he never asked me if I even knew what I was doing.
Or maybe he originally thought I was just playing with it.
My brain is in a mixing bowl.
I decided to start getting ready for the day.
I had a staring contest with a mirror. I saw violet eyes, like mom, staring back at me with a little eyebags (motivation won't let me go) and my black hair is in a messy(my usual) low pigtails. My clothes were a simple purple long sleeved shirt and black shorts with rubber shoes and I wore my googles around my neck.
Yep I'm ready for the day.
*Ding dong*, and my friend is here.
I walked to door and opened it just for me to glare right at my friend's charcoal black eyes.
He let out a nervous laugh "Somebody woke up in the wrong side of the bed." I glared even harder.
He raised both of his hands "You've been stuck in the house for a while already so I was thinking you need a breather and let's hangout. Who knows we might find something you'll need there." Great he always knows what I like.
"Fine let's go." He smiled as we walked together to the event.
I scanned the area and concluded that I don't need anything here.
Until I saw a shop name called Tools Depot. I smiled then it died when I realized it was cleaning supplies.
I heard him chuckled a bit.
I sighed and I decided to look at something else, embarrassment painted my cheeks.
My line of vision landed on a raven haired and an African American boy.
'DANNY!' My mind screamed.
I can hear my friend laughing louder now. "Sorry sorry." He said between laughs "I find it cute every time I see you look at your brother." I stuck my tongue out.
Out of the corner of my eyes I saw they left. "What were they looking at anyway?" Dmitri squinted his eyes "Madam Babazita's...mystical oddities?" My eyes widened in interest.
See the reason why I even like to do anything with ghosts, much less inventing for that purpose other than protection, is because I like the idea of myths and legends, even if its possibly not really real at all, but every legends has an inkling of truth.
"Let's go and check it out."
While we're walking to the shop, a crying kid with a balloon, who was dragged by her mom, shouting out for cotton candy and a lamp got caught by the balloon's string then it started falling.
Dmitri quickly ran and slid through the ground and caught the golden artifact just in time. We both sighed in relief.
He gently placed the lamp on the table. "Ahh... Thank you very much dearies." He smiled brightly "No problem miss!" He moved to salute but his elbow bumped into the lamp and it crashed to the ground and a green mist escaped revealing a beautiful female genie(but I'm quite sure it was a ghost)
"..." We stared at each other.
"And your heart's desire is my command." An feminine voice, with a weird echo, resounded in the air.
And suddenly there's a tsunami of cotton candy. People screamed and ran around the area and I just stood then in place, my mind blanked as the cotton wave came closer. I felt a hand around my arm "Run!" Dmitri shouted as he dragged me and we ran.
We kept running and running but there's only so much with our 11 years old bodies, with me even shorter than normal.
I noticed as I ran a boy, with snow white hair and black and white hazmat suit, floating in the air and blast the the other one until she was out of sight.
I was too distracted to notice the obstacle and I fell. "Aliyah!" Was the last thing I heard before everything went dark.
I woke up at the taste of sweet and a panicked Dmitri shaking me.
"Stop it." I told him weakly and he stopped shaking me and let me down.
My eyes slowly scanned him, checking for injuries or something wrong but everything seemed fine other than his dirty blonde hair stuck with cotton candy.
I took a piece from his hair and ate it, he look at me with his weird face then he sigh in relief. "Nice to know your alive ." He said while standing up and offered me his hand.
I took it and stood up, a little weak and confused but fine. "Alive and kicking but that was a new ghost right?" If he look at my eyes he will see sparkles and he sighed. "Time for info gathering?" I nodded "info gathering." I smiled and took a piece again from his hair. "After we take a bath and rest at my place." we both agreed to that idea and went back home.
I liked this idea and I want to get it out of my head but I knew I might now every continue this at all so if anyone wants to adopt it then pm me and go ahead or just credit me and tell that this was my idea.
If no one like it I might continue it in 20% possibility.
edit: just fixed some stuff
(again)
