Hey guys! Well,I'm back to my small summer home in the Mario kingdom. Recently I haven't been doing ANYTHING on FF,but this little story has been in the works for a while. Please don't be scared of it being OC based. Their followable if a bit crazy,and I think you'll really enjoy the story if you like dramatic sort of things.

So with that,I say,Enjoy!

Dreams threaten reality. That's why they seldom come true.We must build our reality to make it our dreams.Unknown

They were two girls who believed strongly that every gust of wind or draft under the front door brought a change,wether as drastic as a death or simple as their hair being rustled. Everything made a difference. The world was a beautiful changing place,and they pledged to one another they'd remind each other of that every day. That also meant they were promising never to leave each other. And as many similarities and promises these two girls may have had between one another, it was their differences that were prominent.

It was their differences that, in the end, would matter.

Azzy,for one,had big ideas about freedom. Though she was reminded every day by Imcee that her place was here with Elit,helping in the lab ,she dreamed of the beautiful world. The world,and all the villages and kingdoms and people she had yet to see in her seven years of life she could actually recall. She was ready to do things with her life... and most of all to rebel against her design of a ruthless murdering machine.

Elit,on the other hand,was all too ready to make use of that gift. She had heard of things a King had been planning, and even achieving. She wanted to meet him and work for him more than anything. She wanted him to need her skills... But how to find him...that was the question..

"And today's the big day!"

It was a small house outside of a much bigger lab. It housed only Imcee, Elit ,and Azzy. This was fine, because the two clones disliked their creator with such a passion it was almost a tangible force,and had anyone else lived there it would most likely make them very uncomfortable.

It was a tangible force that Imcee either didn't feel or didn't want to feel. First off,the girl definitely was several matches short of the match book,and to add to that it wasn't clear if she'd ever even had marbles to loose in the first place. She'd done a terrible job creating them,and was an even worse caretaker.

And THAT was saying something.

"Alright you two,get ready. Those impatient jerks wont wait while you snooze." She barked,tapping her foot outside of the girls door as they got dressed.

"Wrong,as usual,Imcee." Elit mocked as she pushed open the door and shoved past Imcee into the kitchen,going to retrieve a hairbrush." We don't sleep."

Imcee rolled her eyes and muttered some snide comment that was drowned out by Azzy's excited voice."So...your not kidding? We really get to go to the Mushroom Kingdom?"

The red-head stepped out of the room. Behind the lethargic face that came with a lack of sleep,her eyes sparked with excitement. She and Elit had never traveled out of the small village,much less somewhere like the Mushroom Kingdom. She'd only heard good things about it from Imcee. Like despite the fact it was attacked so much,it always managed to become better than before. And how it was a place known all over the planet, Sasaraland being only slightly as important.

"Why make us go,anyway?" Elit asked,pulling her long blonde hair into high pig-tails.

"Well..." Imcee started"You know how I used to baby sit Peach and Daisy?"

"Poorly?" Elit offered,receiving a mean giggle from Azzy.

Imcee pressed on" Word got out that uhh...Well that I had a lab of sorts going...Peach found it funny to ban me from any store in the village,so you two have to go do my shopping for me from here on out."

"Give us the list and we'll be on our way--"

"Not so fast you sneaky little devil-girl." Imcee placed a hand on Azzy's shoulder and tutted"I've got something I made specifically to keep you under control." She swung a thick leather collar on her finger and smirked.

"Uhh,what? If found please return?"

"No,smarty,more like if I get suspicious,I press a button and you get K.Oed and I'll.." Imcee chuckled"I'll know your exact location."

Azzy scowled,but let Imcee fit the collar on her in fear that she wouldn't let her go without the dreadful thing.

--

"Alright! Bye,and be back by tonight!"

Azzy couldn't believe her ears. What else did Imcee want them to do? Sprout wings (no pun intended...Imcee actually didn't give them wings...) and fly there?

Elit laughed"Back by tonight...Hah,took her two days,and she wants our first trip in one?"

"Its ridiculous..."

"Hmm..." Elit smirked."No,makes as much since as that collar you've got now. Hate to say it,Azzy,but people are in danger every time you pick up a pebble. Your a ticking time-bomb..."

Azzy looked at her feet."Your right...but you didn't have to say it..."

They got there late at night. The last store was just closing,but any houses had obviously been sleeping a good long while. Elit found this humorous,and even began suggesting that they simply break into a store and get what they needed,then leave. Azzy wasted no time in talking Elit down from this. The last thing she wanted to do was be public enemy number one here.

Street lamps lit up the stone roads,illuminating the paths winding throughout each section of the village. The night was clear and cold,but it hardly bothered Azzy and Elit as the sat on top of one of the large hills out skirting the village. "Its beautiful..." Azzy mumbled,brushing her fingers on dewy grass.

"You think so?" Elit asked,coping her head and smiling"I don't know..."

"I love it here...I don't want to go back..."

"Don't be silly...There's nowhere else for us."

The two once again lapsed into silence,staring at the shimmering light that was the village below,then at the specks lighting the indigo sky above them. Cool winds blew more and more fiercely,then died again into small cold breaths. Clouds rolled in with the wind,gray and dull. The time continued by at what seemed a fast pace to the girls. The sun crept up from behind them,slowly turning gray clouds pink. Movement began in the village below,as people hurried out even so early. Elit and Azzy began their walk back.

--

"What do you mean you wont sell to us?" Elit asked,her face pulling into a pout.

"I know who your buying for,and I wont have it! That girl is a menace and I won't be supplying her!"The small man from behind the door squeaked" No! No!"

"C'mon! Its not like she manages much of anything! I'll even pay you double! Just fill the list!" Elit pressed,shoving the long list through the mail slot"Please E.Gadd?!"

There was a shuffling,and much mumbles,before the door opened,revealing a tiny,ageing man with a tuft of black hair and very large glasses. He scowled,then beckoned the girls inside."Hurry."

The room was fill to burst with computers,beakers,tables,shelves,books,and an assortment of other thing Elit assumed Imcee probably should have had but didn't. E.Gadd walked through easily,though,and somehow found a method to his own madness,instantly pulling out what the girls needed."She pre-ordered before you got here. I seem to recall something about paying double?"

Elit smirked"You old con." She snatched the bag and handed him the bag of coins Imcee had giving to them for shopping.It was more than double,but Elit didn't really care where Imcee's coins went.

--

Azzy sat beside Elit in the grass,staring out at the village as the sun set. Elit looked at Azzy"You really not going back,are you?"

Azzy looked at her friend,eyes void of emotion."I cant...I wan't a home,Elit,and with Imcee isn't it."

"You feel that way too?"

"Huh?"

Elit stared at the sky,a deep frown lineing her face"It never felt right there. But it doesn't feel right here,either." She gave Azzy a small,sad smile"Its goodbye,then,huh?"

Azzy didn't understand. She certainly couldn't be hearing this right. Elit was,leaving? But where would she go? Certainly not off by herself. Elit wouldn't do something so risky. But thats when it occured to Azzy that she would. Elit would wilingly through herself at every available danger if tats what it took to get where she wanted to be. It was just something she would accept. Live or die trying... Never had Azzy understood how literaly Elit took this...

"You can't"Her voice shook"Not alone."

"Then come with me."

Azzy didn't respond.

"Of course" Elit voice was sharper and colder now than even the wind"You couldn't,could you? You don't understand how...How strong you are." The blonde shook her head,then turned to leave. A small hand girpped her shoulder,trying to stop her. Elit wheeled around and blindly landed a punch at Azzy,making the girl double over,before running off.

And they both realized it was over.
