I have a bunch pre-written for this story! :D
About 3 chapters worth of text! 3
Enjoy!
I once again turned out the light.
Tomorrow is another day, with more homework.
I placed my glasses on my dresser, and punched my pillow. Then I lay down and closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to wash over me.
I was half asleep when I heard a weird sound coming from my closet. I groggily got up and opened the door, thinking it was my cat.
But by the time I opened the door, I realized that my cat would never, couldn't go into my closet.
But I was too late.
A multi-colored light swept over me, and I was blinded.
A strong force swept over me, and I felt my body changing, aching, a bone-snapping, sinew-shredding pain that coursed through every inch of me.
My face felt like it was melting. This plus my sleepiness took me over, and I passed out.
When I woke up, I was in an alley.
I could feel the cold, wet pavement of the street, and the damp, sinister air passing through my lungs.
Where was I?
My muscles wouldn't move, and my eyes flickered about. Finally I felt a tingling in my hands, and I was able to curl my fingers, but the rest of me was stiff.
I managed to drag my arm in front of me, prepared to push myself up, when I noticed something.
I gasped, spreading energy through my veins.
My arm was green.
I struggled to get up, resulting in many cuts and bruises, making me realize I was naked.
I shrieked, and covered myself up with my hands, looking for something to hide in. I jumped behind a dumpster, and looked around for something to wear.
I peeked my head over the dumpster.
Across the street, an old couch was covered in a large cloth. Before I went out to get it, I noticed that the dumpster had a smiling emblem on it.
Underneath of it, the words: "Beantrash Co." were etched unto its surface.
What a weird name for a trash company, I thought.
It's like I'm in Beanbean!
I tiptoed across the alley and plucked up the sheet, muttering the zelda item get song.
I wrapped it around myself, and thought of where to go, when I heard footsteps urgently running my way. My head snapped to the side in shock.
Oh, no! The police!
I ran lightly back to the dumpster, just in time.
I pressed myself against the metallic surface, ignoring the biting cold.
The footsteps drew closer, until I was sure he was in the area. I was just going to have to wait him out.
There was a long moment of silence, as if the whole world was holding its breath.
I gasped as something tapped my shoulder, and I whipped around.
At first I thought that I was still groggy, and what I saw was an illusion, that I was seeing what I wanted to see.
Prince Peasley was looking down at me with a worried expression.
I couldn't move.
"Are you okay miss?" He asked.
I stared.
Peasley looked even more worried.
"Miss?" He repeated. Then he squinted at my make-shift clothes.
"Is that... A furniture protector?"
I still didn't speak. Peasley stood back.
"You're not from around here, are you?"
"I'm from earth,"
I could barely feel myself form the words. There was silence, then Peasley burst out laughing.
"Sure you are. And I'm from Bowser's castle."
I staggered up, feeling myself awake from my stupor.
"No, I'm serious! I heard a weird noise in my closet, and when I opened it, I was sucked into a portal, and ended up here!" I cried, grabbing Peasley's arm.
He didn't flinch, and looked at me coolly.
"So I take it you have no home? Or clothes, for that matter." He said gently, looking me over.
I gave up. "Yes, I'm homeless."
I said. "So?"
Peasley grinned. "You really think I'd just leave you for the bandits? Nope. Come on." He then wrenched free from my grip as if I wasn't even touching him, and placed a hand on my back.
"This way, ma'am!" He said with confidence, and led me out of the alley.
I was quite embarrassed to be out in public in a long, baggy cloth, especially in the green state I was in, despite the fact that I knew I was in Beanbean officially and that everyone here was green.
I stuck close to Peasley, clinging to him like a lost child.
Everyone stared. There were whispers.
You see that girl with Prince Peasley?
Who is she?
Why is she wearing that furniture cover?
I whimpered and huddled closer to Peasley.
When we got to his castle, I was sure I was known all around Beanbean. Peasley took me to his mother, who was sitting on her throne, playing Super Mario Bros 64 on the N64.
Lady Lima was at her side, occasionally murmuring hints or cheering the queen on.
"Try throwing him. Yes, like that! Now take the bomb and throw! Pow! You did it, your highness!"
"Oh, Peasley! Who is this fine young lady you have here? Is she wearing a furniture protector?"
"Miss Lima, I have found this young bean in an alley, and she claims to have come from Earth."
Lady Lima grunted a chuckle. "But she is homeless, and I think we should take her under our wing until we can establish a housing of some sort for her. Can she stay?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Peasley wanted me to stay! Why?
Lady Lima tapped Queen Bean and whispered something to her, and she paused the game.
"You want her to stay? Well, I suppose so. She doesn't look like she eats much."
Peasley grinned.
"And make sure she gets into something other than a furniture protector!" And with that she unpaused and went back to playing.
"I give my vote as well. But she's your responsibility, Peasley. I'll set up one of the guest rooms, but other than that, your responsible for watching her, and making sure she doesn't make a fool of herself. Am I clear?" Peasley bowed his head.
"Yes, Miss Lima. Thank you."
Lady Lima left Queen Bean to her game and through a door.
I felt Peasley's hand pressure on my shoulder, and began to follow Lady Lima through.
The guest room was like two of my Earth houses combined.
It had a king size bed (a little much for a guest room) and a chandelier, as well a mini kitchen, a big tapestry on two of the walls, and a large carpet shaped like the Beanbean emblem.
"Wow..." I murmured. I walked away from Peasley's cover and around the room, but he quickly stuck back to my side as I strayed.
"It's so...Big..."
Looking up and around, my cloth swayed like a dress.
"And I'll give you some real clothes instead of that despicable linen," Lady Lima said, waddling out of the room.
I walked to a window that covered an entire wall.
Peasley followed so close that he pressed against me.
"Watch this."
He murmured, and then pushed against the glass. For a moment I thought he was going to break it, when the glass parted neatly into a door.
A platform came out of the floor, and before my eyes a balcony set itself up.
"This is so cool!" I exclaimed, rushing out to the edge. I rested my hands on the banister and leaned forward, the wind blowing my hair and clothes back.
I grinned and closed my eyes. I didn't even flinch when I felt something brush against my arm, since I knew it was Peasley.
Then, so lightly I could hardly feel it, something touched my opposite shoulder.
It became more define as seconds passed, and I opened my eyes to see Peasley with his arm around me.
My heart was pounding. I was scared for no reason. Maybe because he was so close. Or maybe because he was there, or I was here, or...or...or whatever.
"Are you cold?"
He suddenly asked, and I realized I was shivering. His arm transferred to my waist, holding me more firmly to him.
I must've freaked out, since he withdrew his arm and looked away.
"I'm...I'm sorry.." He stammered, rubbing his hands together.
"I just- I didn't mean to-"
"No, it's okay!"
I said, taking a shaky breath.
I took his hands.
"It's okay, I am cold." I said, putting his arm back around me and huddling up close to him, and we sat there in an awkward silence for a time.
I once again tried to curb the ending so it fit... oh well. I hope you all like this first chapter! ;D
