Chapter 1
Everybody has a beginning. Suburban legendary people have went through extremely tough things. That's not how my family began. But it quickly turned that way one day. Here's the story of us, the Vaes.
1989.
(All you see is black and hear what happens).
"Push!" said a female voice. "That's it! You're almost there! Keep breathing!"
(Fading in from black was a teenage Bessy, holding her newborn son).
Dallas, back then, often called "Willie", was knelt beside her.
"Miller." said Bessy. "I like the name Miller."
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch theme (HALLOWEEN III Main Theme on youtube dot com).
Soldiers of the U.S. blew a big hole in the wall and came in. A warthog took Bessy's baby from her.
"No!" cried Bessy. "Give him back!"
"It is in the name of the US!" said the warthog and escaped with the baby.
VAE: SUPERLEGEND
I was born in 1991. For those of you that don't know who "I" is, then I'm Lane Courtney Vae. Many people call me DJ instead of Lane now. But let's not get back to the present just yet.
1996.
I was five years old. It was a beautiful day.
A greyhound bus pulled in and two cows got off with a calf by the girl's side.
The mother was a brownish color with cherry red lipstick and rose red hair in a ponytail. The father was yellowish and had sunglasses on. The calf was yellowish like her father. She had a daisy over one ear.
I was standing in between my mother and my father. I was just standing there with big un-blinking eyes while I panted like a dog.
I walked up to her.
"Hi!" I said. "My name is Lane."
"Mine's Daisy." said the girl calf.
"Hello." said the girl cow. "My name is Rose and this is my husband, Daniel. I see your boy has met my daughter too. Listen, who do I talk to to get permission to move here?"
"My cousin, Ashlynn-Marie." said mom. "She's out at the market right now for some reason. You're welcome to stay for a few hours until she comes back. Just put you guys' bags in my room."
"Thanks. What's your name?" asked Rose.
"Bessy Vae." said mom.
"That's odd that you have a last name." said Daniel.
"Yeah, well, used to, I didn't, but I got married to someone that does." said mom.
"Oh." said Daniel. "I see. Well, a lot of people who have seen Halloween III: Season Of The Witch, call me Dan. But please call me Daniel."
"It wasn't the best Halloween movie was it?" asked mom. "At least we had a new Halloween movie though, right?"
"I suppose you could say that." said Daniel.
Mom smiled at the two.
The next day was a very bad day for me. Some things for me have changed, but it was still bad.
The morning was just as good as the way it looked at daytime in the previous day. Mom and I were fixing lime and orange sherbet-fruit punch for a birthday party.
"Mommy, can we make cake and cookies and cupcakes and ice cream?" I asked.
"Honey, you're too little to fix some of those." said mom.
"Why, mommy?" I asked.
"Because, you'll get hurt." said mom. "Why don't you play with Reven and Daisy?"
"Okay, mommy!" I said and went into the main room.
Dad (Dallas 'Willie' Vae) walked into the kitchen.
"Bess, I'm going to get the mail." said dad.
"Okay." said mom. "Be careful."
A few minutes later, dad was walking across the road, reading letters when a semi honked. He looked up and was instantly hit and killed.
Mom heard and looked outside to see dad on the ground in the road.
"Dally!" screamed mom and ran outside toward him. Daniel also went outside to carry dad to the farm's ground and set him down. I came outside.
"Daddy?" I cried, up close to him.
"Son, take my necklace." said dad with it in his hoof.
I grabbed it.
"Daddy, please don't go." I begged.
"Dear?" cried mom.
"I love you, Bessy." said dad and kissed her then passed away.
"Daddy?" I cried. "Daddy, please wake up! Daddy!"
"I'm sorry, Lane." said mom.
"Don't call me that anymore!" I shouted. "I wanna be called Dallas!"
Too Young by Phoenix begins playing and continues at a teenage me at a concert.
At my place, I was not just a party animal. I was not just THE party animal, but the party king.
"He's still got it." said Daisy, who now had a pink bow instead of a daisy.
"Yep." said Reven. "I'll give you that."
I danced with a lot of the girls.
Daisy smiled as she watched.
I went up on the stage and grabbed the back-up singer, brought her out on the floor and danced with her, then threw her on the crowd to be surfed back up to the stage.
Everyone clapped. The party was over.
Mom came in.
"You don't need to be up all night." she said. "Your first day of high school is tomorrow."
"Oh my jeez!" I said. "I freakin' hate school!"
And when I say that, I mean it!
