My eyes stared out in front of me
blinking at what just happened. My brown hair waved around me as
the rain began to pour around us. Us I'm meaning myself and the
only other person alive out in the street, Vash the Stampede,
stood there neither saying or doing anything. It had been a while
since I had met up with the outlaw but that didn't matter now.
His eyes were focused on me and then the body in front of me in
shock. All that mattered is I did what I had to do to save
him. Tears begin to trickle down my face as I dropped the gun
that I had been clutching for dear life. Sobs began to come up
from my lungs as I covered my face with my battered and bruised hands
that where wrapped tiely the day before. The salty tears stung
the wounds that where underneath as I fell to my knees.
"...Candy..." His concern voice said beside me. He had moved from his spot a few yards away. Turning a buried my face in his coat. What had happened exactly?
Beyond Reasoning
Chapter One
The end of One the beginning of Another
Tapping on my keyboard I looked at the screen feeling for my water beside me. I was typing up the final chapter to a story that I had been working on for two years. The feeling of accomplishment filed me as I typed out "The End" on my keys and sat back. All I wanted to do was take in it all. I deserved to. This story had taken part of my soul to write.
"Hey Candy," My sisters voice said with a devilish grin upon her face.
"What?" I asked as she entered our room with a bag in her hand. I looked at the bag questioning. "What's in that?"
"O this?" Cathy said lifting the bag up so I couldn't peak inside. Frowning I stood up. She was shorter then me, everyone in the family was besides my dad. It came from my fathers side, my height that is. I was five ten and my dad was six one. My brother who was 15 stood about two inches less then I and figured he would overtake me one day. Cathy shoved the package in my arms laughing as I opened it. First I blinked at what I was seeing, and then...
"AHHHHHH!" I yelled pulling out the plushie my sister had bought.
"Target has them now," She said with a smile. "10 dollars so consider this an early Christmas present from me, k?" I nodded looking at the strange eyed cat plushie in my arms. It was the cat from Trigun. I hugged it again enjoying the fact it was my first Trigun memorabilia. Cathy walked out of the room hearing dad call her for dishes duty. I smiled sitting back down on my bed clutching the plushie. I set it beside me looking at the screen to the last of the story. Maybe I should start a Trigun fan fiction went through my head. I had a crossover with sailor moon written and a one shot story written. Maybe I should try a full fledged fan fiction of Trigun. Nodding turned to the computer again but only to see the plushie Cathy had bought me stand up.
"...What the..." I said. Its eyes began to glow as everything around me grew dizzy as I passed out.
********************************************************************
"Stupid sister...." I muttered sitting up from my position. That's when I noticed something was seriously wrong. I seemed to have waken up outside of a desert town. Not only that I wore a white trench coat and a pair of shades where beside me. Standing up I brushed myself off to find I was wearing a pair of baggy black pants and boots with a red shirt that had a heart on it. Picking up a pair of sun glasses they where oval and rimless. "Great I'm having another one of those weird dreams!" I said looking up and seeing two suns in the sky. I began to cover my eyes but realized something....
I didn't need glasses anymore. Yes tall old me who's been described as an amazon had to wear glasses. I could never afford contacts and the laser surgery was WAY out of the question. Rubbing my eyes I turned to the town and focused in on the people hussling and bussling about. I didn't need glasses. Smiling I placed on the sunglasses and decided to see where this dream took me. Walking down the streets it reminded me of the stories of the old west. There was a well in the middle of the town but people seemed to have running water in their homes.
"Help!" A woman screamed as a man burst out of her home with a handful of something unrecognizable in the bag he was holding. I smiled. It was my dream, why not play the hero? Quickly I ran toward the man who had seen me. He dodged into an open door and I followed him. Inside it looked to be an old salon quickly I jumped over the bar stool that he tossed in my way and dove at him, directly hitting him in the middle of the back sending him flying down. The men about me quickly grabbed the man.
"We'll take it from here miss," The sheriff said bowing his hat at me. I nodded picking up the bag and looking inside. Inside sat 3 necklaces which looked to be made of gold with a few gems on it.
"May I take this back to the woman who it was taken from?" I asked the sheriff who just seemed to break into a smile chuckling.
"Yeah you can take it back to Mrs. Hendrech," I nodded quickly turning and heading back outside to see the woman beside the well. Walking up to her I handed her the bag who let out a breath of relief as she took it. Looking inside she smiled.
"Thank you thank you thank you," The woman said. "That was the third time this week that someone has attempted to steal my jewerly." Nodding I smiled as well.
"Well then he'll think twice before he tries that again, now won't he?" I said happily. The woman dug in a pocket and pulled out some strange paper and handed it to me.
"That's a thank you for helping me," She said. "I'm sure its plenty enough for the trouble I've caused you."
"Ah...thank you," I smiled putting it in my pocket. "It will be used well, don't worry about that." The woman nodded and we said our good-byes and she went back to her house. Once the woman was gone I pulled out the weird paper. On it it said 1000 double dollars. "...Double dollars...where have I heard that before..." I muttered putting it in a inside pocket.
"She always rewards well," A man said behind me. Turning I saw the sheriff behind me. He had a friendly face and white hair. That included a beard. The sheriff was a little heavy set but it made me like him more: this was a caring nice sheriff who liked to help out the local kids. I was happy that I was dreaming such a nice guy for the sheriff.
"Really?" I said. He just chuckled thinking it was sarcasm.
"Well we booked the man you captured," He said.
"Good, a guy who steals should be in jail," I said with a chuckle.
"He came with a reward miss...what's your name miss?"
"It's Candy Rae Sir," I said putting a hand out for him to shake. He glanced down at it and laughed a little as he took it and shook it. My hand was tiny and a hand of a rich woman compared to his scarred up hands that had seen plenty of sun.
"Well Miss Candy the man came with a 30000 double dollar reward. It seems like he had done a few things a few towns over." Wow what a crazy dream I thought nodding to the old man who waved toward a small building near us. Walking me there a package sat on the desk right inside the door. He handed it to me. "All should be there." I opened it and gasped at all the bills inside there.
"Thank you!" I said happily hugging the man before I realized it. The sheriff just laughed patting me on the head.
"Its good to see a young person like yourself taking the time to help people." He said. "Well I've got to go and check the streets again," The sheriff tipped his hat and walked out of the place leaving the money in my hands. I saw the little children out front and I smiled pulling out what looked like a twenty. I saw an ice cream vender during my escipade with the robber.
"ICE CREAM!" I yelled out seeing every kid within yelling distance come rushing up to me. They all drug me to the ice cream vender I had seen and I bought everyone an ice cream cone which cost about 2 double dollars each which was about how much it was in life. At least it wasn't like one hundred double dollars or something. Everybody decided I was their new best friend for the day so I decided to play with them. Let me just say I had the best time in my life that night though it was cut short because of rain. Everyone rushed home about me leaving me in the rain. "This was a wonderful dream..." I muttered rushing to a place that said hotel. Shaking my hair out like a dog I removed my sun glasses putting them in an upper pocket of my coat. Walking up I smiled.
"A room please," I said with a smile on my face. The inn keeper looked at me like I was nuts for some odd reason. Maybe it was because I was wet.
"I would love to let you stay but I must warn yeah," The man said looking through a book.
"Yeah?" I said ringing my wet muddy white coat out looking back up at him.
"I'm sure you've heard," He said. "HE's here."
"He?" I asked the man puzzled for his secrecy.
"If my boss hears me then I could be fired. But your friend is outside.."
"My friend?" Now this was really sounding whacked out but I thought it was a dream and all why not. I've had weirder. "OK let me go speak with him after I book a room."
"That's not what I ..." The man said getting pissed at me for no apparent reason but seemed to cool himself down right away. "What type of room do you want?"
"Whacha got?" I asked leaning on the counter.
"Basic rooms are 20 dollars but come with no bathroom, it comes with access to a community bathroom though. For 20 more double dollars you can have a private bathroom and for 10 more dollars you get free dry cleaning."
"So for fifty double dollars I can have my coat cleaned and take a bath?" I asked.
"Of course and with every guest you get a free breakfast." He said.
"Dude I'm sold!" I said slapping a fifty down on the counter. He turned and took a key from the wall and opened the book to a page.
"Name?"
"Candy Rae," I said with a smile as he looked at me annoyed and wrote it.
"Well Miss Candy your room is 57. My boss wants us to fill up floor three before anything, that is why your next to HIM." He said handing me the keys.
"I don't get what your saying with the HIM part of this but my friend is waiting outside, so I best not keep them waiting!" I said waving shoving the keys in my pocket and leaving the hotel.
Walking out of the door I was reminded by why I went to the hotel in the first place: it was still raining. Muttering I continued out. The dream hotel guy said one of my friends was outside which means I have to go find them. Walking around I saw nobody on the bare streets of the small town. "Can dream hotel owners lie?" That's when I noticed it. A few yards away from me..by the light of a street lamp I saw a tall man standing there. Somehow that's when I knew it wasn't a dream at all. First of all this was a really long dream if it was one and second I think I was catching phemonia again. Sneezing I got the man to look at me. He was as startled as I was when I recognized him somehow through the darkness and rain. The hair of his that normally stood on end was hanging to his sides. And what I thought was rain on his face wasn't rain at all but tears. What the heck was going on? He seemed to look puzzled on why I had stood there that long looking at him.
"Are you OK Miss?" He asked. His real hand reaching up and wiping his face off.
"...I..I don't know..." I said strarting to become majorly confused about everything. What exactly happened. I remembered my sister and the cat plushie...
That's when it truly hit me.
"What do you mean?" He asked puzzled turning fully to face me. My hand flew up to my forehead. That's what the inn keeper was talking about. Everything was making sense now. But then again it must have been to much for me to all handle because I passed out right there.
***************************************
Yes I decided to write another story. Also the story I mentioned finishing never happened yet. It was just something to tie into Trigun. All my stories are still running and got plenty of chapters to go. There is a second chapter to it that is posted up as well. Review before you go if you like the idea and as always thanks for taking the time to read one of my stories (my first REAL fully trigun story)
