New World, New Life
Chapter 1: Movies
AN: Everyone, I'M BACK! I'm so very sorry that I have been gone for so long. I have been grounded since November. I know. That's a very long time. Now, on to the story. Please read at your own pace and begin. Also, I have finally came up with my own OC's!(The names aren't real, except my first name. The people are though.) So you will be reading about them as much as the kfp characters. Just be patient...
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kung Fu Panda
Karlie's POV
We just got out of school, and I started to make my way over to the Tree. It wasn't anythig special. Just a tree. We always go there after school though. I mean me and my friends. There was Vivi, Matt, and Daniel. Then of course me.
Vivi has dark, long brown hair that goes halfway to her hips, and she usually wears it down in short waves. She's five-foot two, and has light brown eyes.
Matt is pretty short for his personality. Whenever he meets someone over the phone, people originally think he's like six-foot. But no. He's about five-two, has blue eyes, and his hair... Well it used to be light brown, but some things happened and now his hair's gonna be neon green for a while. Yep, and he can sometimes be a bit rude too when he jokes around sometimes.
Now Daniel. My most favorite person in the world. His hair used to be short and black, but he was a part of the things that occurred with Matt, so you know. Instead of green though it got turned the color white. He has dark brown eyes, he's five-foot six and has a bullet scar just inches away from his heart. I love him more than anything. I've risked my life for him once already. I have a scar too, but it doesn't look like his. Mine's from a short stab wound on my right leg. The scars are from the same person. But they aren't that bad of scars. They've both almost faded away, but I think I'll miss them when they're gone. Sentimental reasons. You know.
We started going out almost five months after the life risking thing, and we've been together for almost two years now. We're all seniors in highschool, and me and Daniel kind of have that opposites attract relationship. There's only two things we obviously have in common though. The first is fighting. That's how we all met each each other. And the second... Is Kung Fu Panda. Our favorite movie in the creation of all films ever , Daniel actually doesn't know what his favorite movie is, so he just went with Kung Fu Panda. Now I give him tests on the movies and the episodes. He gets better at remembering the answers every day, but I still win. I hope he can get all the questions right one time at least. That would be awesome. I mean, It's 'apparently' a difficult test I've made. Well, for those who don't obsess over it like me.
Back to the point now. Today the movie theater is showing all of the Kung Fu Panda movies and short films in D-BOX, and I have paid for four tickets to go watch them. Then, we're going to go to Adventure Park, and play Lazer Tag and race on the tracks until the people who work there yell at us to finally leave. One time Daniel and Matt were racing and they kept hitting the walls so much that the next day, the guy who worked there, quit. It was hilarious.
Oh, and of course Daniel was the first one I see over there, lying down on the dark green grass, under the Tree. I see him sit up straighter with his back resting on the trunk, and he smiles when he spots me. He stood up, took off his Tapout hat and held it to his chest while he bowed, saying, "Well good afternoon my beautiful, lovely, crazy woman."
I laughed. It's this thing we do every once in a while. "And hello to you my handsome, sexy, dork of a man."
"Ahh. I should've known you would choose those words, but what other words are there for me?"
We sat down together in the sun while we waited for the other two. "All of the frickin awesome ones."
"Haha. Yeah right. Like you said. I'm a dork."
"An awesome as hell dork." He turned his head to me and raised his left eyebrow. At the same time putting his left arm around me.
"You know I love you, right?" I smiled at him. Those were the exact words he used when he told me for the first time. The night we finally confessed our feelings for each other.
"Right." I leaned up to him to give a small kiss to his lips. At the same moment though, was when Vivi and Matt arrived.
"Hey you two! You know you would be doing our eyes a favor by just getting a room, right?" I turned my attention to Matt.
"Yeah. Right after you decide to jump off a cliff. Cuz that's not gonna happen for a long while."
"Yeah, dude. You know us. I just don't want Karlie's dad, or Cris, to kill me." I remembered when Daniel met my family. We weren't a couple then, but that was what my dad and my stepfather thought. Cris was nice, and he and Daniel are good with each other, but my dad, Dale, I guess threatened to chop off Daniel's hands if he ever did anything to me. That was it. They didn't speak the rest of the day, but later on my dad told me that he trusted him if I did. We didn't tell them that we weren't going out, as a prank, and they still don't know we did that. Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore. We really are together now and I know that if I'm happy, my dad is too. Truthfully, Daniel's my first boyfriend. I hope the only one too, but I know nothing will ever break us apart. We love each other too much. Wow. I'm a very cheesy person. Haha.
"Yeah. They wouldn't kill you. They'd probably torture you instead."
"Well. As long as you're happy, I wouldn't care if I get tortured."
Matt threw his hands in the air. "Ok,let's not start talking about torture and kids now. Good?" He kept gazing back and forth between us. "Good. Ok. Now what was it that you wanted to tell us, Karlie?"
"Oh, yeah. I wanted to tell you all about umm..." I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out the four tickets, "the showing at the drive-in."
"Which showing?" Vivi asked.
I let Daniel read the tickets, and he laughed. Then I jumped up off of the ground, at the same time yelling out, "KUNG FU PANDA!" Then I locked arms with Matt and Vivi while we walked to the car. And finally we drove to the drive in movie theater. We knew that older people were going to show up at the Tree to tell us to shut up. Everyone knows everyone here, so people have no problem with getting in trouble really, except us. We're not really allowed to cause too much of a scene. We don't get seen as much as everyone else since we've started living at our new home, but we're more known than anyone else is. We train every day to protect them. We love this job for so many reasons. Also it reminds me of the film we're going to see right now.
Vivi's POV
Once we found a spot to park at the drive in theater and the movies started, I saw Daniel and Karlie had also started something of their own. Matt and I have gotten used to seeing that already. She was laying down on his left side, and they began to kiss. I shook my head with a slight smile.
Ermergert. They're so...them. I'm amazed that they would do this during a movie. I have got to think of something to get this to stop.
"Hey, Daniel. Aren't you supposed to be studying for the next test?" Karlie froze and lfted her head up while Daniel's fell back with a frown. She looked at him.
"Yeah. He is, so you know what? No more making out until you pass the test with a 100%. Got it?" He groaned in fustration and Matt entered the conversation as well.
"Oooh. You better pay attention to the movie now then, and thank you Vivi for that fantastic idea. You're lucky you don't have to sit next to all that." He guestured to the two and I smiled, then we all laid back down to watch the movie.
Matt's POV
Man. I am so glad that Vivian got them to finally stop. I mean, they have got to shut it down for a while. Hmm... I'm a bit hungry.
"Hey, guys?"
"Yeah?" Daniel answered.
"Can someone come dubbelyoo-slashme to get some snacks?"
"Sure. I'll go with you." Vivi suggested, and so we got out the trunk and walked to the food stand. Thank goodness we were only like fifty feet away. When we got our food, the man also gave us a flyer for something. We couldn't see very much because the lights were badly dying.
We thanked him for the food, and gave him a tip before heading back to the Durango. I got in the back after Vivi did and I looked for a flashlight. Karlie got a bit curious I guess.
"Umm... What are you doing?"
"Searching for a tubebulb"
"Why are you using such wierd words today? Like 'dubbelyoo-slash' and 'tubebulb'? We know what you're trying to say, but why make up words?"
"I find it fun and obvious." Then out of the corner of my right eye, I saw what I was looking for. "Aha! I found the tubebulb." I picked it up and turned it on. Next, I got out the flyer and shined the bright light at the paper. Then I read the words out loud:
Beers and Fortune Telling.
All are welcome, but for tonight only, starting at 11:45. This event only happens once every decade! Be the first ones there and get it all for free! Make sure you bring your ID Cards or you won't get any drinks. The whole thing is not fake. I have truly met others who have gone through life changing experiences. Some are still going through it too. I know things many don't understand. If you come and see me, I promise this night will be one you and/or your friends will never forget! Hope to see you there!
Alexis the Visionary
I did not believe it at all.
"So who else thinks this person is most likely crazy? She's probably just trying to kidnapp people or something. We should go turn her in, or she just wants beer."
Karlie countered. "Oh c'mon. She sounds... pretty nice, and she might only be giving beer to make us feel comfortable. She did say to bring ID's."
Daniel added his comment too. "Yeah. I think we should go. I've never been to one of those things before."
And of course Vivi sided with them too. "Me neither. I've always wanted to though. Please Matt, can we all go together?" she her hand on my shoulder."If you say 'no' I'm just gonna drag you." I tilted my head way off to the right, and sighed heavily.
"Fine. We'll go, but we're gonna have to call Dough and tell him."
"I'll tell him." Karlie got out her phone and texted the message to him and he answered back within about 30 seconds. "He said 'ok, but go 2 sleep when u all get back so that u can wake up early 4 training in the morning.' and then I texted back 'ok'." I clapped my hands and hopped in the front seat to turn on the car, since the movies were halfway over, but I couldn't find the keys.
"Looking for these?" Vivi held up the black little remote key thing to turn the car on.
"How'd you get those? They were in my front pocket?"
"You seemed very... distracted." she replied with a sly grin and a raised left eyebrow. I think I blushed a bit.
"Matt, we aren't going anywhere until the movie's over."
"Ok, Karlie. I'll wait. Vivi, Give me the keys." She tossed them to Karlie.
"They are hers you know?" I sat there, defeated, and decided to stop talking and just watch the movies.
Daniel's POV
The movies were over and I remembered that I was going to really have to pass Karlie's test with a 100%. It was 9:00pm and we had nothing to do, so Matt suggested we go to a bar or hangout at Adventure Park until 11:00 o'clock. We ended up going to Adventure Park and I beat Matt at mini bowling on all three games.
Looks like tonight is not at all his night. The only thing good that happened to him was Vivi taking the keys. Ha. I looked at my watch. 11:05pm. I decided to tell the others.
"Hey, guys! It's 11:05! We gotta get going! Karlie, toss the keys and I'll start the car!" She threw the keys from across the batting cages and I caught them just before the door closed to go inside. I ran all theway past the video games and air hockey up until I opened the door to the exit. I walked to the car, being careful not to trip on the concrete bar that sticks out of the ground. Again, like always. Then I saw the others coming out of the building and I hopped in the drivers' seat while Karlie got in the passengers' and Matt and Vivi jumped in the back.
When we finally found our way after getting a little lost, I parked the vehicle next to the driveway. Vivi was the first to comment.
"Well, is anyone else ready to go inside?"
"I am. I want to get this over with." Obviously, since Matt was so impatient. We got out of the car and went inside.
