That One Step
First act- Home
The world seemed so dull to me. The life I wanted to live was being pulled away from me since day one and I couldn't do anything to get it back. I glare at the pictures I drew and they stare in other directions. I didn't know why, but every single one, the ones that used to look at me, were scared to glance back. I couldn't understand why though! The world just made no more sence...
...
?: Is she... Asleep?
?: She is, but I don't know how we'll get her over to Wasteland...
?: She's only a girl-
?: A girl with too much for her own good!
?: But...
?: Listen, you get her feet and drag her off the bed. I'll get the portal closer to the bed.
Sam: Wait... Wha- ACK!
Normal point of view
Sam fell of the bed in a swift motion as a cold hand partially slapped her face and it covered her mouth. The room was fairly dark and the tv was off not show the natural Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoons she normally watched before falling asleep.
Sam: Mph!
?: Quiet!
Sam became quiet.
?: You're gonna help us. The world YOU created is being destroyed. While we're suffering losing our homes, you're home enjoying sleeping in!
?: L-Laura I don't think she'll help us if you-
Laura: Shut up Manic!
Sam felt Laura's hand leave her face.
Sam: Laura? Manic? You two-
Laura: Yes us two! You're helping us!
Manic: Wasteland- Well OUR Wastelasnd is being destroyed!
Sam: Wait- Wasteland?
Laura: YES Wasteland. The one you MADE and left behind.
Sam: What!?
Laura: Wasteland. The home for forgotten toons and failed sketches.
Sam: Wateland... Isn't that the main area in Epic Mickey 1 and 2?
Lauren: Sure it's there but this is YOUR Wasteland we're talking about!
Sam: So for every artist-
Manic: There's a Wasteland waiting for the old toons to inherit it.
Sam: So you need me for what?
Laura: Wasteland is being destroyed as we speak!
Sam: Why do you need me?
Manic: So we can save our homes and remain there!
Sam's point of view
I stare at the two. They're insane. I can't go off in the middle of the night to go off to some failed attempt at a cartoon!
Sam: I can't.
Laura: Can't do it? Or won't?
Sam: I can't save a entire world of toons in one night! That's insane!
Manic: Come on sam, you created us! Only you can make a difference!
Manic pressed his metalic finger up to my chest. I made eye contact and I saw his pale brown eyes stare back into my chocolate ones.
Manic: Sam... Please...
Sam: ... Alright... I'll try...
I could only see his eyes alluminating the room around himself but I could tell he was smiling. But glaring at my right was Laura. She gave a "I'm going to rip your throat out" look as her highlighter yellow eyes stared back at me. I could care less as I slowly stood up holding Manic up with me.
Sam: So, where is this portal you guys talked about ealier?
Laura: It's the closet.
Sam: ... Say what?
Manic: Yep, the closet. Just open the door and we'll get to Wasteland.
Sam: Well, lets go then.
I was standing inbetween my bed and my dresser... So is I looking in the direction of my tv then... The closet was to my left.
Laura: Joining us?
Sam: Affirmative.
I walked to the closet in a blind state... Not smart but I continued until I could feel the warmth of my breath bounce back to me. My hand only went two inches foward as I felt the cool paint on my door. Moving my hand to the left I bumped onto the Knob. I took a deep inhale,
and I turned the knob.
