This is my new fic! It's pretty funny…a bit OOC for some characters! If you like "My cousin Toji" and "Oops my bad down the well we go" then you will enjoy this. In this fic three girls my alter ego, my cousin and my best buddy Sarah make a wish on the first star of a full moon and get transported to fruits basket land! Now I'm a hard core Anime fan but my friend and cousin aren't even really into anime (well Sarah is starting to because I've corrupted her mind with my Gravitation DVDs)…. bastards…any way they do know a bit about fruits basket because of my big mouth!
Disclaimer: I don't own fruits basket but I own me (my alter ego Ashley really) and my friend Sarah as well as my cousin Kristen.
Ch.1: When you wish upon a starIt was Saturday and the clock had just struck 7-o-clock when Ashley Johnson came crashing through the door of her cousin's house. "I HAVE ARRIVED!" she cackled wildly as she leapt into the living room like a ballerina only to trip on the carpet and flip over the couch. "Oof!" Ashley landed on her but with a loud thud as she tumbled off the couch still holding the plastic bag she had rushed home with. Suddenly a tallish slender girl with caramel colored skin and elbow length dark sandy brown hair stepped into the room, "Ash, what are you doing?" she asked in a calm tone as she crossed her slender arms over her chest. Ashley shrugged and started to stand up and straighten out her short pleated denim skirt "um…nothing…just…erm…checking the floor…for…stuff" Ashley shifted uncomfortably under her cousin's gaze. The other girl nodded her head "riiiiiiiiiiight…oh-Kay then" she said as she looked at her crazy cousin. Ashley reached up a thin brown hand to brush a bit of her chin length black hair out of her face, "oh yeah…um a friend of yours…. Sarah I think she's up stairs waiting for you" the other girl said before walking off to the kitchen to get some snacks. Ashley's face lit up at the mention of her friend and partner in crime's name "HEY HOE WHERE YOU AT?" Ashley yelled up the stairs, "IN YOUR ROOM SKANK!" an alto female voice yelled from upstairs and Ashley started to run up the stairs.
When Ashley reached the top step she was tackled by a tall strawberry blonde girl with porcelain skin, "I missed you hoe!" the girl sang out as she and Ashley fell back down the stairs. "AAAAAAAHH!" Ashley yelped as she slid down the steps just when her cousin was starting up the stairs with a glass of blue Kool-aid, "oh snap" was all the long haired girl got a chance to say before she was plowed over by the rolling mass that was her younger cousin and cousin's friend. Finally the two girls' descent ended as they rammed into the couch both girls rolled around on the floor trying to get up, "ow…. my back hurts…LETS DO THAT AGAIN!" Sarah cheered as she started to run for the stairs but Ashley grabbed her by the back of her red t-shirt and dragged her back to place. "But that hurt! Are you insane?" Ashley asked her friend, Sarah stopped struggling and thought for a moment "um…. maaaaaaybe" Sarah cooed sweetly. Ashley looked at her friend pensively for a second then she smiled happily "M'okay!" she shrugged and then they both started running to the stairwell. But suddenly Ashley's cousin jumped up in their way with a glare that could make an onion cry "Ashley! Look at my shirt!" the older girl demanded as she gestured to her crème colored peasant blouse that now had a lovely blue splotch in the middle. Ashley looked at it…stared at it hard and then finally looked up at her cousin "oh my…where'd you get that spot from Kristen?" she asked the older girl innocently, Kristen smiled warmly at he cousin "why from you my dear cousin…that was a new blouse by the way…and for that you must die" Kristen said calmly with a smile.
Ashley looked at Kristen then at Sarah "should we run?" she asked her friend and Sarah shrugged "I suppose so" she said calmly, then both girls exchanged looks before turning around and running into the kitchen screaming like a bunch of 4th grade girls. Kristen sprinted after them grabbing a broom on the way "YOU HAVE KILLED MY SHIRT NOW YOU MUST DIE BY THE EVIL BROOM OF EVIL!" Kristen yelled in a very uncharacteristic shrill cackle. The girls ran through the kitchen and back around through the living room and up the stairs until Sarah and Ashley made it to Ashley's room and locked the door. Kristen banged on the door for a few hours "you have to come out sometime! You have to pee sometime! I will get revenge!" she yelled through the door as the two girls in side huddled together in a far corner in Ashley's room. After about another hour she stopped and went off to do…things…while Ashley and Sarah decided to watch some T.V! It was about 10:30 now and Sarah and Ashley were being the big dorks that they were and were watching "Pinocchio" and they were crying like fools by the end of this Disney cartoon. "That-sob- was-sob- beautiful!" Sarah cried as she stuffed a stick of chocolate pocky in her mouth and hugged a pillow to her chest for comfort, Ashley was standing over by her window in her oversized T-shirt she wore to sleep in that came to her mid thigh and staring out at the large full moon in the sky surrounded by dark blue sky. "Yeah…if only life could really be like that…magical and adventurous," Ashley said aloofly as she stared at the moon with dreamy eyes, Sarah wiped her eyes on the pillow and got up and walked over to her friend.
"Well maybe it could be" Sarah said reassuringly as she put a hand on her friends shoulder, Ashley shrugged "yeah right…like all we have to do is wish on a star and some magic fairy lady is going to make our lives complete…yeah right" Ashley huffed. Sarah frowned slightly "well don't be so negative…it could happen I guess…I mean things take time to get exciting…it's not we're in one of your little anime show things you always watch…this is the real world" Sarah said solemnly. Suddenly Ashley had an idea "oh Sarah! I'm having another one of my brilliant ideas!" Ashley cooed happily and Sarah backed away slightly "oh no…this is going to hurt isn't it" Sarah whined. "No…we're going to make our lives be like an anime!" Ashley said excitedly, Sarah looked at her friend as if she had rocks for a brain "and how are we going to do that?" Sarah asked skeptically. Ashley smiled and waltzed over to her dresser and grabbed a DVD then pounced back over to the window and handed it to Sarah, Sarah looked at it and read the titled out loud "Fruits basket? Are we going to watch movies or something…?" Sarah asked not quite following. Ashley grabbed the DVD and smacked Sarah in the head with it "no…we're going to wish on a star that our life be like an anime …like fruits basket…fun, exciting, and magical!" Ashley cheered. Just then Ashley's door burst open and Kristen came charging in wearing her white tank top and kiss mark boxer shorts on. "Ashley have you seen my cell phone?" Kristen asked her cousin as she walked over to them in a friendly manner, Sarah and Ashley both sighed in relief that she had forgotten about them ruining her blouse earlier.
"Nope…sorry" Ashley shrugged and Kristen nodded then turned to leave when Ashley grabbed her arm "hey wait! Could you stay for a sec and help us with something" Ashley asked pleadingly. Kristen turned back to face them and narrowed her eyes suspiciously "what do I have to do?" she asked cautiously and Ashley grinned, "ok now I need you to hold me and Sarah's hands ok…so we all make a circle" Ashley instructed. Kristen and Sarah exchanged cautious looks and then shrugged and they all joined hands, Ashley grabbed both their hands dropping the DVD in the middle of their circle un noticed. "Now what?" Sarah asked and Ashley closed her eyes "shut your eyes and when I say go I want you guys to say the wishing on a star prayer ok…and while you guys do that I'll make our wish ok?" Ashley said happily. Kristen stared at her cousin oddly "wish on a star? What, are you crazy…this is stupid" Kristen scoffed as she tried to break hands with them, but Ashley and Sarah held her hands in place "no it isn't…besides if you help me I'll tell you where I hid your cell phone" Ashley smirked with her eyes closed. "So you did steal it you lying wench!" Kristen yelled at her cousin but Sarah shushed her and closed her blue eyes "just say it and stop whining" Sarah sighed and Kristen complied. Sarah and Kristen began to chant, "Star light, star bright first star I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight" they chorused over and over again. Meanwhile as they chanted the little prayer Ashley made one of her own.
Suddenly while the girls were busy chanting a bright light shone from a single star in the sky and beamed through Ashley's window and began to engulf the three girls in the eerie white light. Suddenly the girls were floating through the wall of Ashley's room and up into the sky, it was at that time that the girls stopped chanting and with their eyes still closed they drifted off into a deep sleep before disappearing into the light of the first star of the full moon.
In a small vegetable patch behind the Sohma Shigure household"So Sohma-kun do you think any of these will be able to be picked soon" A thin brown haired girl kneeling in front of some vegetables asked her companion. A tall lean buy with dark grey/purple hair and purple eyes sat beside her kneading mounds of soil over a newly planted seed, "um yes I think the carrots and turnips should be ready to pick soon…and the leeks" the boy replied. The last item roused a small round of giggles from the girl as she patted her gloved hand over some freshly planted seeds, "I also think the strawberries should be ready soon as well" the boy added as he brushed his hands off and turned to face the girl. The girl smiled happily and clasped her hands together over her heart "oh good I love strawberries" she giggled earning a small laugh out of her companion "I hoped you would Honda-san" he said. Suddenly the girl sneezed "are you alright Honda-san?" he asked worriedly but the girl shook her head in protest "oh please don't sorry I'm fine Sohma-kun, it's just a little chilly" The girl replied. The boy nodded but still looked at her worriedly "well just in case maybe you should go back to the house" the boy told his friend as he leaned closer to her causing her to blush frantically "um…n-no really…I'm fine…it was j-just a sneeze" she stammered. Suddenly a large grumbling noise was heard and the boy looked down at his stomach "um…well I'm also a little hungry" he said and the girl giggled before sliding off her gloves and standing up to brush the dirt off her apron. "Then I'll go get lunch ready!" she exclaimed cheerfully as she was about to leave when suddenly there was a loud crashing sound from behind some bushes.
The girl jumped back a bit in shock from the noise and the boy stood up alertly "What was that?" they both turned and asked each other in unison, they both blushed and turned away "um…s-sorry" the girl spoke. The boy smiled at her and then brought a hand to the small of her back and lightly touched it "come on Honda-san let's get back", he said guiding her away from his secret base and towards the house.
In a bush…nearby
Ashley shifted slightly as her body began to stir awake "ngg…" she moaned as she reached a hand up to her brown cheek and tried to rubbed her face awake. "Where the hell are we!" Kristen's voice broke through Ashley's sleep sounding panicked, Ashley quickly snapped her eyes open and sat up to look around. 'What the hell? Where's my room…our house…our neighborhood?' Ashley wondered as she looked around at the grass and tall trees around her "Kristen where are you?" Ashley asked a little scared, "here…what the hell did you do to us Ashley? One minute we're in your room then I wake up here…this ain't right" Kristen said nervously as she scrambled out of the bush she was in slightly tearing the bottom of her boxers. Kristen's hair was frizzy and wildly strewn over her shoulders as she picked a leaf out of her hair "where's Sarah?" Ashley asked as she stood up and pulled her dirty t-shirt down a bit to cover her butt.
A few yards away Sarah had just woken up and was scrambling around trying to find Ashley or Kristen, "what's this?" she wondered aloud as she caught sight of a pile of red and white clothes on the ground. Sarah ran a hand through her shoulder length blond hair as she scooted over to the clothes suddenly she heard a slithering sound "hmmm…that cant be good" she mused aloud. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" came a loud ear splitting scream from Sarah as she got up and bolted down the path nearly knocking into a brown haired girl and a thin boy with purple eyes as she ran screaming obscenities. "HELP MEEEEE! AHHHHHH! OOOOOHHHH SHIIIIIT! GET IT OFF!" Sarah screamed as she came up to a house and she rammed through the sliding paper door.
Back on the pathAshley and Kristen heard the screaming sound "what the hell was that…sounded like a chipmunk on crack with his tail on fire" Kristen said as she started covering her ears, Ashley suddenly gasped in realization "that's no ordinary chipmunk on crack…that's Sarah!" Ashley replied shaking her cousin by the shoulders. Kristen suddenly looked panicked "oh god…I hope she's ok…we should go look for her!" Kristen said as she started to jog off in the direction of the scream but stopped when she realized Ashley wasn't following her, "Ash! Come on we have to save her!" Kristen yelled at her cousin. Ashley cocked her eyebrow at the older girl "hell no! Look in horror movies whenever somebody screams and they go to investigate it they all die! So I'm stayin my butt here…. I'm not tryin to die" Ashley said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Kristen looked at her cousin absolutely appalled "what! Come on Ashley that's cold blooded man…she's your best friend!" Kristen protested, Ashley looked at her cousin in confusion "so…. you're point is?" She asked. Kristen just rolled her eyes and started running off to find Sarah going as fast as her fuzzy bunny slippers could carry her, once she was a good distance off Ashley sighed in defeat as she looked around and found herself alone "oh fine…I guess I have to save her…" she mumbled as she jogged off. …Slowly to catch up to Kristen.
Shigure's houseSarah had busted through the door pulling desperately at her shirt and tripped over a broken piece of wood causing her to fall and slide across the room on her butt. "Kyou you really shouldn't waste food like that…it's shameful" came a male's voice as Sarah slid on the freshly waxed floor boards into the kitchen still squirming and tugging on her shirt. "What the hell! Who the hell is that?" came a loud pissed sounding yell as Sarah stopped in the middle of the floor and stuck a hand up the front of her shirt "AHHH! DAMN SPAWN OF SATAAAAAN!" she yelled as she drew her hand from her shirt holding a small grey snake and flung it across the room and into a wall. As she threw it she almost hit a cut redheaded boy who looked about 2 years older than her, "woooh that feels much better!" Sarah sighed as she ran a hand threw her blonde mop of hair trying to smooth it out. "Shigure-san! Kyou-kun! Are you all alright we heard some screaming and a strange thing…ran past us outside and headed this way…sounded like some sort of wild animal" said that brown haired girl as she came into the kitchen with the boy from earlier at her side slightly panting from the run. Sarah looked up at the girl realizing she was talking about her "hey! I know I may not have the best voice but…. geez aren't you being a little harsh?" Sarah asked the girl and the girl immediately held up her hands defensively and frantically waved them around uttering apologies "I-I'm so sorry…. I didn't mean it…um please I'm very sorry!" the girl babbled on. Sarah smiled and nodded "ok…. you can shut up now" she said sweetly.
"Hey! Who do you think you are busting into our house like an idiot and then talking to Tohru like that you have no right to do that! Who the hell are you!" the redhead yelled angrily at Sarah. Sarah just blinked and cocked her head to the side clueless "hmmm…she looks foreign..." the older looking one with longish black hair and a yukata on, Sarah scoffed at him "I'm not foreign I'm American!" she said matter-of-factly. Suddenly Kristen busted in the door stopping in the doorway to the kitchen next to the brown haired girl…Tohru and the boy, "Sarah! There you are…what happened we heard you screaming and thought you were like getting raped or something!" Kristen said worriedly between breaths as she placed a hand over her heart "damn…that was a long run" she said tiredly. All the people in the room turned to see this new person and surprisingly she looked stranger than the first girl, she had long thick wavy sandy brown hair and caramel skin that glistened with a slight perspiration on her forehead. Kristen noticed the strange looks and turned to Sarah uncomfortably "um…Sarah…who are all these people?" she asked threw a fake smile, Sarah shrugged as she stood up dusting off her pink panther PJ pants "no clue…. they have a nice house though" Sarah said as she looked around. "Thank you" the older man…Shigure said with a proud smile "what! Why are we in their house?" Kristen asked Sarah as she began to loose her patience, "yes you are…um who are you anyway?" the purple eyed boy asked trying his hardest to still be polite.
Sarah looked over to the boy and smiled "oh, you're pretty" she said and the boy looked at her oddly and smiled forcibly "um…thank you" he said unsurely, and the redheaded boy…Kyou sighed agitatedly "oh great…rat boy's fan club is annoying us at home now!" Kyou said with a sarcastic tone that Kristen didn't like. "Look Red we aren't part of no fan club…unless you count the B2K fan club…and you don't have to be so rude!" Kristen said threateningly to Kyou, the cat growled and was about to say something when suddenly Ashley came through the door "damn bushes!" she cursed as she pulled a twig out of her hair. "Ashley you hoe where were you?" Sarah asked a bit peeved and Ashley ran to hug her friend "oh good! I'm glad you didn't get raped killed and thrown in a trashcan!" Ashley sang out as she plowed her friend over knocking them both on the ground, "What the hell is going on what's with all the weird foreigners?" Kyou asked angrily as he watched the two friends hug. Ashley heard the snide remark and turned to face the ass wipe that dare insult her, "look ass wipe, you need to calm your snarky little…" Ashley trailed off as she looked into a pair of familiar maroon eyes "holy crap…Kyou?" Ashley said as she broke away from Sarah and stood up pulling her nightshirt down a bit to cover herself. The others in the room looked taken aback "Kyou-kun…do you know this girl?" Tohru asked unsurely, Kyou was flabbergasted "umm…. uh no" Kyou manager to sputter out.
Suddenly Ashley looked around wide-eyed "I don't believe…Tohru Honda…. Yuki, Kyou, and Shigure Sohma…weird house…in the forest…oh shit" Ashley said as she began to put two and two together. "What's going on…. who are you and how do you know our names?" Shigure asked serious for once, Kristen cocked her head to the side "hey…that name Sohma…. isn't that from one of those Japanese thingies you watch?" Kristen asked Ashley and her cousin nodded. Suddenly Sarah gasped in realization "Ash, remember last night…that wish on the star…didn't you say something about wanting life to be like an anime…what if…what if when you said that instead of making our lives like one…they put us in one?" Sarah asked, the three girls looked around at the inhabitants of the house and then at each other "AWWW DAYUM!" they all chorused as they realized what just happened…they had been transported threw the star to another universe…an anime universe…more correctly the Fruits basket universe!
