and here we are! for those who are reading this, new and old, thank you for clicking! this is my rewrite of a previous story called "According to Plan". i wanted to change somethings and was having a bit of trouble with how the story was being writen, so this is a (hopefully) better version.
DISCLAIMER: ha, if owned Kingdom Hearts, i would be freakin rich!
"Ah! Damn it!"
Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? If so, you have my deepest sympathies, really. I feel ya. Life, Karma, God, whatever you call it, sometimes just loves to mess around with our lives. That has always been my life, for various reasons that I'm bound to go into later. But today has been one of the particular nasty ones. Hot water cutting off in the middle of my shower, the washing machine pipes rupturing, my vintage Harley Davidson Electra's sparkplugs dying on the way to the grocery store…Anyway the list goes on and on.
Well, before I start going any further into this crazy rant, why don't I introduce myself? Name's Jacyn Smythe, and before you get the wrong picture, I'm a girl. I know with a name like "Jacyn" you would think I was supposed to be a guy, but it's not the case. I guess there's some story behind it, but I never really asked. I love my name, but most of the time people just call me "Cyn".
My personality gets mixed responses from people. Some say I'm pleasantly different; others seem to think I have a few screws loose. I think the worst anyone's ever though of me was that I might be slightly unstable. It's not that far-fetched though; I have mood swings, my sense of humor is a little off kilter, and I sometimes have an OCD problem. Oh yeah, and I kind of have an attitude that gets me into fights from time to time.
Okay, so I was outside in our backyard, looking for my sister and I guess I ended up tripping on something. It was strange really; I never thought a person could actually fall and look like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulled the football from under him. It was a real brain-rattler too.
"What happened…?" Looking around, I found the source of my untimely fall. It was a big, red and blue tennis ball.
"LUNA!" I screamed. It would seem that she misinterpreted my scream as a signal for playtime, and I found myself pounced by a giant, six year old German Sheppard. That's my girl Luna for you; she still thinks she's a puppy. Either that or she's conspiring against me with the universe…
"Ack! Haha! Alright, girl, get off!" I gave Luna a gentle shove and pulled myself up. "Hey Luna, have you seen Dana anywhere?"
Luna gave a short bark and ran off down one of the trails that lead to the woods behind our house. I smirked. Now why didn't I think of that? Danna would be in the one place where she felt the most comfortable, reading one of her many books no doubt.
After trailing after Luna, I stumbled upon an enormous willow tree with a small, wooden swing tied to one of its sturdier branches. Sitting on the swing, a large hard backed book in hand was my twin sister Dana Smythe.
Now, we may be twins, but we look nothing alike. For example, Dana is what we should look like naturally. Long, chestnut brown hair with auburn glints in it. Dark blue eyes with thick eyelashes and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. Her dark eyebrows were pulled together, letting me know that her focus was completely in the book she was reading and I could see her finger tapping on the cover, a habit she picked up from somewhere.
Dana is the more scholarly of the two of us. She loves to read and her room is pretty much a library. Not that I mind; I love to read too, just not as much as she does. I'm more into mechanics, personally. Cars and motorcycles are my thing. Danna loves to joke that I was born with grease and grim under my nails.
Well, I've described my sister, but I shoulder let you guys know what I look like too, shouldn't I? My hair is cut pretty short and is usually dyed. I didn't like the brown, so I changed to black, but the streaks in it change every few months. This time, it's blue and purple. My eyes are the same dark blue like Dana, but I wear contacts.
Noticing how absorbed my sister was in her book, my mischievous side immediately acted up. Unlike my sister, I have a bit of an affinity for pranks and practical jokes. And seeing her like that, practically dead the real world, I just had to mess with her.
Looking down at Luna, I smiled and held my finger to my lips. Being the smart dog she is, she jumped around a bit but didn't make any noise. As quietly as I could, I snuck up on Dana from behind. It was a little tough, seeing as I had to hold in a maniacal laugh that was starting to build up. But soon I was at the perfect distance to launch my attack.
"CURSED FOOOOOOOLS!" I jumped forward and tackled my sister from behind, knocking her out of her seat. Dana, bless her heart, let out a squeak. Sadly, her book went flying and where else would it land but on my head?
"OW! Damn it!"
"That's what you get, Cyn…" Dana deadpanned as she dusted herself off. Soon, she was standing over me and smirking, bending over to grab her book off my head.
"What can I say?" I shrugged. "The opportunity presented itself."
"Okay, so why did you feel the need to pounce me, Xemnas-wannabe?" Dana sighed.
"Weather report." I replied, jumping up. "Forecast says we're in for a storm tonight. I thought you might want to know, and help me tie down all the stuff."
Dana flinched, I felt a bit bad for telling her this. See, Dana has never like storms. It's been like that ever since we were little girls. As much as I hate bringing it up, it's my job. Dana and I only have each other here. Well, there's Luna too, but you know what I mean. She's my sister.
Dana nodded grimly. "Alright. Let's do it now…please…"
*Third person perspective*
Hiding in the bushes by the willow tree, fourteen creatures watched intently as the two teens walked back up the path. The dog remained, sniffing around. The creatures tensed as she drew near their bush.
A whistle pierced the air as one of the girl's voices called out. "Luna, come girl!"
The dog, Luna, tensed and turned. "Coming Masters!" she barked before running off.
After she left, the creatures all came out, revealing a strange assortment of animals. There were birds and rodents, cats and dogs, all of various breeds, colors, and sizes. One of the cats, a red tom, stretched his limbs and yawned.
"How much longer do you think this will keep up?" he asked. Behind him a pair of kittens, a yellow male and a black female, blinked and twitched their tails.
"I don't know." The yellow one replied. "But I hope this ends soon. I don't like being stuck as a cat."
"Me too." The black one agreed. "It's too weird. I want to be in my body again."
"I'm more worried about that storm the girl mentioned." A dirty yellow Labrador whined. "I love water and all, but I don't think I like the idea of being out in the rain…"
As they continued to talk, another group conversed in hushed tones among themselves.
"What should we do, Superior?" an unusual colored dog asked a silver cat next to him. The silver tom, his gold eyes staring intently, spoke low.
"Big Blue here's right." A black and gray weasel nodded. "We're running out of options here."
"We must find a way to retrieve what we have lost." He turned towards the dog, his seeming second-in-command. "I do not believe that these bodies can withstand a storm such as one that girl described. Gather everyone together. Tonight, we head to the house."
and there we have it! please, tell me what you think!
