Hi everyone, as you may or may not know, I'm a massive fan of the character Mettaton. Unfortunately, there is not enough fanfics of him, plus, I've been enjoying the fanfiction "Big Bones" by Brishton; so why not mix the two together.
My goal for this fanfic is to update it every day in July. So, here we go! Wish me luck!
"Vanellope, aren't you glad that you'll be living with us now?"
"You'll get to be with your summer friends in school from now on, isn't that great?"
Vanellope Natalie Foxtrot was sitting in the backseat behind her uncle who was driving the sliver car down a country road. She was slumping against the seat, listening to her music through her green headphones as the scenery of the tall forest trees and the light blue sky; playing with the lightly tapping her fingers on her legs to the beat of the current song she was listening to. She wore a pink T-shirt with a music note on it, with a dark grey jumper with light grey edges, brownish red baggy trousers and pink boots with red soles underneath.
"Tabitha, you know that she can't hear you while she listens to her music." Her uncle, Toby, told his wife as they continued up the road. He was wearing a white shirt with black trousers and dark brown shoes.
Vanellope sighed as she looked out the window with her violet, bored out of her mind. Yes, she did love going to her aunt and uncle's home, but that was only with her parents. As she stared out the window, something caught her eye; despite the fast speed of the car, her eyes focused on something large and shiny hiding behind some of the trees which had also seemed to be glowing a pink colour in some areas but only faintly. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes, seeming confused at the sight she saw. 'Wait, did I just see a giant!?' She thought in her head, quickly going to look out the window again to see if it was real and not her imagination, only to see that it was gone. 'Odd…'
"Hey Vanellope!" He uncle spoke with joy, causing the teen to remove her headphones and look at him.
"Yes?" She replied, looking at him.
"We're very excited to have you come and live with us." He continued.
Her Aunt, Tabitha, looked over at her with a smile. "I've contacted your friends' parents so that they know that you'll be joining school with them this Monday. Ain't that exciting?"
"Oh, yeah…" Vanellope groaned, playing with her dark brown and purple gradient hair. "Sounds great."
Her aunt and uncle sighed, just as he pulled up into the driveway of their house. "Well, we're home now!" Uncle Toby chuckled, as he parked into the drive way. He and his wife got out the car and began to help empty out the car boot with Vanellope's stuff. After a minute, Vanellope climbed out of the car, grabbed her favorite suitcase and entered the mansion.
The main hallway had polished wooden floors, with a long red and black striped carpet went down along the whole floor, photos of family members were up on the wall, a few spaces missing some but there was a good reason. In the centre right side of the room, was the staircase that lead to the other rooms; to the first left was were the living room was, the first right was where the storage room was which contained the heat tank and boiler and at the end of the hallway was the entrance to the kitchen and dining room. Vanellope ran to the stairs and climbed up the two flights of stairs onto the top floor, where the guest bedrooms were. She entered the bedroom she would sleep in during her summer holidays here.
It had had white painted walls, a grey carpeted floor, a white, wooden wardrobe, a wooden makeup desk with an oval mirror and in the far wall of the room contained a bed with a pink and purple blanket and matching pillow as well as a white mattress. And in front of it was a TV on top of a small table with a shelf underneath containing DVDs. And in the centre of the wall her wardrobe is against was a huge window showing the woods behind the back garden.
Vanellope sighed, slightly smiling as memories of the summers arrived in her head, the painful reality hit her and she teared up; but wiped them dry and flopped onto the bed to sleep, still thinking about the tall shiny thing she saw earlier that day…
That evening, Vanellope, Uncle Toby, Aunt Tabitha and their own little daughter called Mari. Mari was wearing a pair of denim overalls, with a red t-shirt that had black spots on it, as well as a matching pair of shoes and ankle high white socks. The family was quietly eating the Chinese dinner Toby ordered, he noticed at the lack of communication and decided to start a chat. "So, Vanellope, how excited are you for school?"
Vanellope just shrugged continuing to eat her rice. She then swallowed it and said something. "Oh, I guess excited. I mean, I'll get to see my friends again…"
"Yeah." Tabitha smiled. "Abby is excited to show all of the new cartoons with the weird looking characters and crazy hair styles you teens like."
"They're called 'animes' Tabitha."
"Oh." Awkward silence. "Tia also was excited to see you."
"I know, she promised that the next time we see each other we'll have the teen girl dating chat with Abby."
"I see."
"And don't forget about the Seamli twins!"
"Sam and Phillip?"
"Yep!"
"Don't you mean your boyfriend~?" A squeaky voice came from the other end of the table, that being Mari.
"They aren't my boyfriends, they're some of my best friends!"
"Boyfriends~" Mari giggled, before noticing the stern look her father was giving her, then she stopped talking.
Then he continued the consveration. "So…you do know that means we have to get you a school uniform, you want to come with us to get one?"
Vanellope sighed. "No thanks…"
"Why not?"
"I just don't want to…"
"But you have to…" He was then interrupted by his wife who leaned over and whispered.
"Honey, I think she needs a day alone to think things through…. That might help her cheer up…" She said, tilting her head towards the teen.
"Ok, I understand…" He replied.
"May I continue this dinner in my room?" Vanellope asked, already picking up her plate and getting up from the table.
"Sure thing sweetie!" The couple answered, allowing the teenager to carry her plate back upstairs and into her bedroom; locking the bedroom door and sat on the bed.
Mari growled in envy. "Can I eat my dinner in my room?"
"No sweetie…" Toby replied.
"Why!?"
Tabitha smiled gently and answered with, "Well, Vanellope is going through a tough time. A lot of changes are happening with her life, and being a teenager doesn't help. So we must make her as comfortable as we can to help her feel better."
"Ok…." The little girl said miserably.
Meanwhile, in her bedroom, Vanellope was reading her favorite collection of fairy tales, having had just finished her dinner and preparing a bath. She was in middle of reading her favorite one, 'Thumbelina' when her gut dropped as if she felt that someone was watching her.
The teen sighed in defeat as she stood up from her bed and went to stop the bath from over flowing. After, she entered back into her bedroom to collect her PJs when her eyes came across the window, seeing something that made her drop her clothes and freeze. There, in the maze of trees, was those same pink glowing lights from earlier that day, only much bright due to it being dark outside.
"What…? I wasn't imaging that..?" She thought, rubbing her head being walking closer to the window. She squinted her eyes and leaned her face closer, to try and see what it was. "It can't be…a giant…?" She whispered, she rolled her eyes. "No, they don't exist, even if they did, it's too early for one to be walking around; shouldn't they be walking about at three am?" She began talking to herself before realising. "Oh hell no!" She gasped, quickly locking the window and closing the curtains. "Nope nope nope nope nope." She repeated, grabbing her PJs and dashing into the bathroom.
Later, she walked out, completely refreshed and tired from the long day; moving from one place to another and the possibility that a giant….something is living in the woods. She wore a long, non sleeved top that was a dark pink colour with light pink stripes with medium purple trousers and slippers that matched the top. "Well…" She yawned, as she entered her bedroom to get ready for bed. First she checked her ipod to see if it was charging, she then placed her fairy tale book under her bed. "Now…" She walked over to her window and peeked out eye out to see the woods dark as black paint. "Phew, I guess it was in my imagination…"
"What was in your imagination?" Came a voice behind her, making her jump and turn round, only to for Vanellope to see her aunt standing there, in her cream nightgown.
"Oh, nothing." Vanellope giggled to herself, waving her hand like nothing had happened.
"Well, you better get into bed." Her aunt said, leading her away from the window and to her bed, which the young teen climbed into. "Vanellope…your…"
"Oh, right!" The teen sat up and messed about with her eyes, pulling out some eye colour lens to reveal her true eye colour; a royal blue.
"There…." Tabitha leaned closer to her niece and gave her a kiss on the forehead goodnight. "Goodnight Vanellope…"
"Um…Tabitha…?"
"Yes?"
"May you call me 'Val' instead?" The teen asked, looking at her aunt like a little puppy.
"Sure thing…" She smiled, turning the light off. "Night Val, have sweet dreams and see you tomorrow?"
"Yep, see you tomorrow…" Val yawned, burying her head into her pillow as her aunt shut the door and coated the room in darkness. Val turned to lay down on her back and pulled out her favourite teddy bear. "Oh…tell you what, tomorrow when they go out…you go look in those woods and see if you actually did see a giant….and prove to yourself that you're not crazy…" With those final words, Val yawned and fell asleep….
And there's the introduction to Vanellope or 'Val'. And before anyone asks, "Where's the giant Mettaton!?" Don't worry, he's coming in the next chapter. And sorry if this is a bit short, but most of my stories have short chapters anyway.
